In the middle ages Christmas be-
came the greatest Of festivals, cele-
brated with fetes, nativity plays and

Such pomp and merriment

Tuesday morning, Mr.. and Mrs.

sage stating that their son, Carol,

He had been in service for about
II months as a member of the Mar

The real estate fever that has

finally struck this section. During
the past ten days a dozen or more

DAILY AND POSSESSION
FISH LIMITS CLARIFIED

The daily limit of mixed creels
of protected fish is Is, and the
possession limit is 20, according to
an opinion submitted to the divi-
, sion of game and fish by Mandt
Torrison, assistant attorney gener-
al. Some misunderstanding has
occurred, particularly in the wall
eyed pike, great northern pike,
muskellunge group. The law pre-
scribes, according to the opinion,
that the aggregate daily limit of
protected varieties of fish of all
kinds shall be not more than Is,
and the possession limit shall be
not more than 20, except where linn
its are specifically extended by
law"
Thus in the pike-muskie class,
where the daily limits of walleyed
Is eight, great northerns, eight, and
muskies, two, not more than IS in
the aggregate may be taken in one
day. If a fisherman has his limit
of two muskies, and eight walleyes,
he may take only five great north
ems.
Similarly, if he has taken his
limit of six bass, these must be
counted in the aggregate limit of Is.
The possession limit of 20 protect
ed fish is computed in the same
manner. One must stay within the
limits of any one kind of fish, and
no mixed creel which includes any
combination of protected fish may
exceed 20.
If one is fishing crappies, where
the possession limit is 25, he must
confine himself entirely to crappies.
If any other fish are included in
the creel, the mixed creel statute
applies, and 20 becomes the pos
session limit.
Similarly, in the sunfish-rock
bass group with a possession limit
of 80, or in the case of any fish
with a possession limit of more
than 20, the fisherman must con-
fine himself entirely to that kind
