LANDING OF
PASSENGERS
MISS BETTY MALoNEX MAN
AGER OF AIRPORT, MAKES
PROVISIONS TO HANDLE
SITUATION

Miss Betty Maloney, manager
of the local airport. had every
thing in readiness this morning
for the landing of passengers from
the regular Tuesday morning
plane had it been necessary, but
the S. j. Groves company had not
moved the barge when the plane
arrived.
The barge was sold last week
to the Groves company TO be used
by the employees of the office fore
es and viii be taken along with
the work as it progresses from
point to point along the contracts
on the Keys which have been
awarded the company.
1t was anticipated that the
barge may be moved before this
morning and to offset any ineon-
venience which may have been
caused the plane arrivals Miss Ma
loney yesterday had carpenters
hard at work placing flight of
steps on the end OF the pier at
which the barge is berthed and
this morning all would have been
perfectly convenient in the event
of the barge being moved
Other arrangements for the
convenience of passengers are
contemplated and Miss Maloney
said that it was planned to have a
canvas covering placed over the
end of the pier which is to be
used as an office. This canvas
shelter will be necessary in the
event OF rain and for the comfort
of those awaiting the arrival of
the plane.

Other items in the projects at

it was said, but speculation is still
rife as to what VII these new and

1t has been said by many peo-

thereto must mean some greater

ed fish. 1t seemed that part Of
the bait had worked its way up
the line above the six foot wire
leader. This fish that was fol-
lowing, finally made leap over
the fish that was hooked, cutting
/ the line and releasing brother
barracuda. Joe lost both fish and
hook and part OF his line. Was
that thrill! The pilot, a quiet
sort of fellow, severe and sedate,

dropped his rod and Joe was SIM
ply amazed.
Believe you me, in two hours
they had enough--their hands
were sore and arms about ready
to give up They had landed 20
Of these big fellows, among them
one amberjack, grouper, a
couple of kingfish, the catch in
all weighing over 800 pounds.
These they brought home to give
the poorer people who gather at
the pier each evening.
eWell, it was Saturday night
and Doe and Joe made up their
minds that all these people were
going to have a mess for their
Sunday dinner, some of these fish
weighed as much as 80 pounds
and of course few families
would divide the larger ones. They
released about as many as they
brought home.
I'm these waters. when you
hook a fish, reel him in just as
fast as you are able to for when
those fish get tired of fighting

quently, especially with the
novice in the game.
"Well, Joe says he has fished
mostly every port in the world in
his travels around, but he has
never seen anything to beat this
day, and to make sure it wasn't
an unusual occurrence, he went
through the same routine two
days later with the same pilot and
. instead of having one, he had two
partners and changed off with
one another because only two can
fish at the same time and then
they are lucky if the lines don't
get snarled when both get fish
on at the same time. The three
fishermen had about the same ex-
perience and were glad to go
home after few hours.
1.-THE other Tuesday Joe spoke
to the Parent-Teachers on Weights
and Measures and on Friday morn
ing at $3.50 he talked to the 600
High School pupils on Conserva-
ton and Propagation, telling them
how important it is to themselves
to cooperate, not to kill indis-
eriminately birds. fish, or game in
order not to exterminate them so
they may have some of this sport
when they grow up. So tune in
next Tuesday when win relate
more about Joe Grein's expert
ences while making his survey on

servation and Propagation, and as
Joe Grein would say, GOOD night,
good luck and God love you all.

until tomorrow and is continually
collecting data for his talks over

from Station VIGIL. at 7.ls p.

For the past two alternate
Tuesdays his talks have been
about Key West and tonight he
has another prepared which will
be heard at the usual hour and
from the same station. He was a
caller al The Citizen office yes

night which will be broadcast By

wife and others. Your friend and
my friend, Joe Grein, the former
City Sealer, now member of the
ADVISORY board to the Illnols
Conservation director, is con-
tlnulng ms survey on FISH and
Game which, OF course, is his
hopby and is on his own as he
does not draw any salary or ex-
penses from the state.
.He writes from Key West,
Florida, that on March 9th, with
DIR. Chas. w. McGavran OF Column
bus, Ohio, the enthusiastic and
accomplished tarpon fisherman
started out from the Casa Marina
hotel with Paul DeMerritt as their
pilot. He sure knows the fishing
grounds in the Gulf waters as well
as in the Atlantic Ocean and
around the Keys. The hotel dock
master asserted that he was going
to make Joe Grein say he had
enough of fishing in two hours,
so arranged with the pilot to take
them in his cruiser about 20 miles
out on a reef habitated mostly by
barracuda.
upon arrival they started to
troll with tarpon rods and cut
mullet fish as bait. 1t was but a
few moments when whangl went
both the lines-the water was
clear as crystal. Bringing their
catch near the boat they saw Is
or more barracudas following the
two hooked, they seemed to be be-
wildered. Both fishermen landed
their catch and each fish weighed
about 20 pounds.
paul baited the lines quickly
and as soon a. the bait hit the
water there was another scramble
as to which fish was going to get
the bait. When one would strike
Joe and his partner would quickly
strike back, setting the hook
then the fight was on. The bar
racuda fight similar to our north
ern Muskies, have head and teeth
like a wolf and the natives re-
spect them like man eating shark.
They break water, run out with
the line, zig gag from one side to
the other.

Something of a fight over the

believes that the Indian should

their own, where they may carry
on their traditional religious and
racial customs and where they
are spiritually and economically"
Sc f -sufficient. These Indians live
their own way on lands held in
Government trust and are helped
by Government supervision.
Senator Wheeler says that many
Indians resent being "herded like

IDENTIFY thinks that the Indians
should be encouraged to enter the
general white population and to
live as individual family groups
in the manner of ordinary Ameri-

organization Act of 1884, regarded
as 'New Deal'' for the Indians.
