Teaching Scored

Precautionary measures against losing ombroyo trout were An- nounced at tho August meeting last night in the borough courtroom, Of tho Naugatuck Fish and QArn0 Pro. tOctive association. Leslie Baker, pr0Sident of the club, told members thero were indications Of poaching last year. The club had placed D. 800 fingerlingS in their pool for rearing and only 1900 were thore when the trout season arrives.
 Some of this loss was undoubteds ly due to heavy floods here last spring, but MT, Baker believes that apparently the most were taken by persons who stole tho fish from the pool with Q net.
 It S necessary to change the con. dltionB there, he explained, aS it would have been cheaper to buy the fish outright than to attempt to rear them under tho conditions pre- Vailing last year.
 The plan this year, 1t was ex- plainod, is to buy $500 fingerllngS and rear thoni in . new pool to be built nearer the clubhouse so Q watch may Dc maintained, and to have an inlet arranged so that flood waters could not affect it.
 It was suggested that money in the association's treasury Do used to erect tho new pool. Th0re were some objections during . prolonged discussion and tho matter was left for final settlement until the meets Ing next month.
