On Salmon RiUeE Swift Canadian Rivers These Days Witness Many Battle as Fishermen Strive to

He must have his head il you do not want to lose your tackle and 6 glorious fight, which may last from twenty minutes to on hour follows. Some fishermen prefer tc take their fish iri the boat and then the skill of guides, too, come into play, as c stern chase may follow him Q mile or more downstream, be. fore he is brought to landing net or gaff. Others like to beach their fish. 1n this case, when the sal-

Although heads of the factory don't seem to agree with him majority of non interested persons would say that Cover nor Wilbur L. Cross is taking the right step in urging conference of state offi- ciais, factory heads, and striking employees at a common meeting point, so that. vio-- lence in the Remington-Rand walkout may be ended. While 1t may be true, as the head of the company stated when informed of Governor Cross efforts at mediation that good many of those who walked out have returned and are satis- fled with conditions, that state of affairs has not prevented frequent clashes right here in our own state. Perhaps the Mid- dletown factory of the company isn't so important to the concern that 1t should 20 to the trouble to talk settlement plans, but in all fairness to the citizens of Con necticut who are endangered by this strike, some effort toward such concilia- ton should be made.

Elimination of Dead Mans curve. on the Acknowledgements highway makes us wonder about an idea that has occurred at various times ever since the trolleys to the borough were abandoned. Ultimately 1t might not be bad plan for the State Highway Department to install two-way traffic at this point It could be done cas- fly by dropping the highway just at the intersection of Platt's Mill Road to the trolley track right of way and carrying southbound traffic along this route to its junction with the main street at St. He'd. wigs church. Fantastic, perhaps, but not improbable,

 "angIer'a service" supplying the latest data On fishing grounds. Silver Lining

GOOD WORK, JASPER! (Bridgeport Times-Gtar)

News that the State Highway De- partment intends to pave Q Black Rock portion of Fairfield avenue Is another feather in the political cap of Mayor Jasper McLevy.
 The state has already assumed re. sponsibiiity for tho maintenance Of the Stratford avenue bridge, certain to be an important saving to the city over the future years.
 By paving c good section of Fair- field avenue in Black Rock. from the Ash Creek bridge to Ellsworth street the State Highway Department will be demonstrating its good intentions with regard to the rest of the trunk line route created by the last ge1- eral assembly.
 As we have said many times, there is no reason why Bridgeport should bear the expense of maintaining routes largely used by out of town traffic, especially when other cities and towns, more favored by the ve- publican state organization in the past, have succeeded In having such routes made . state responsibility.
 Mayor McLevy can take great credit to himself, not only for hay- ing the trunk line highway blIl passed. but for getting the Stats Highway Department to make the bill mean something.

Why start 1t now? That question could be put to Representative Schuyler Merritt or anybody else who now starts agitation for a one-term president. The veteran legislator wants the constitution amended to compel presidents to retire after four years. It's funny such agita- tion should be started when democratic president Is finishing his first term. Yes, it's funny, but understandable coming from republican.
