a waitress comes out and gives him
his breakfast. He eats and then am

John D. Chalk, of the game and in

shall be as little confusion as pos

emphasized the change in legal
length from IL to 16 inches" said
Mr. Chalk
The North Carolina commissioner
is of the opinion that North Caro-
lilla would do we'll to follow the
example of New York and several
other northern states which have
recently adopted the Is inch limit.
"Our law permits the taking OF
striped bass when they are too small
and immature and we really should
change our size limit from II inches
to Is inches" said Mr.. Clark.
