Clearly what is going on in WASH

politics as to give genuine concern

Maine Will Drown
Hundreds of Fish
In Their Home Lake
BY the Associa ted Press

BY the Associated Press.
NEW GLOUCESTER, Me-,
Nov. 15.-The Maine Fish and
Game Department was trying
today to drown hundreds Of
fish.
The department explained
that in an effort to improve
salmon and trout fishing in
Sabbathday Lake 1t wanted to
exterminate large schools Of
white perch.
This the department hoped
to do by saturating the waters
Of the IN mile long lake with
q chemical solution designed to
paralyze the gills of the fish,
causing them to drown. If it
works-and the departments
researchers say it will-the lake
will be restocked next spring
with salmon and trout.
The chemical, experts said,
would not affect edibility of the
fish, nor harm the waters Of
the lake.
