BIG BLOW PLAYS HOB

Ohio Conservation Division fish
management authorities at Putin
Bay have reported to Commissioner
Don Walters that the ''big blow
over Lake Erie, April to s, put a
dampener on spring fishing in the
lake. The water had been compar-
atively clear and fishing had begun
very auspiciously. The storm stirred
up turbidity so that saugers, pick
erel, blue pike and perch went out
and will not return, DR.. T. H. Lang
lois predicts.
The turbid conditions will also de-
lay development of food organisms
for fish fry. Counts Of fish food or
ganisms showed the regular expect
ed spring increase from $4,000 per
quart to 100000 on April 1 after
the storm the count dropped to 40
600. Thus it is going to be a hard
year on state planted fish fry, as
we'll as a poor spring fishing period,
if the experts are right in the dag
nosis

AUXILIARY ENTERTAINS
PATRIOTIC ORDERS

The Legion hall was we'll filled
Friday evening when the Auxiliary
entertained the patriotic orders OF
the town and few other friends TO
hear an address by Marie Moore.
GAINESVILLE, departmental secretary
of the Auxiliary. Mrs. Moore spoke
OF the need of preparation for. Cit,
izenship,' stressing the need OF
knowledge. wisdom, faith and inspi-
ration. The speaker said that
knowledge was necessary and that
one should be informed on all ques-
tions that affect us as individuals
and as a country as whole. In
these times of stress and uncertain
ty we should have decided opinions,
and when we have made up our
minds, that a certain policy should
be followed, let it be known by
writing to our congressman and
the will of the people whom they
serve; that we should have wisdom
and know why we think these things
are right and wrong. She said we
believe in free speech, but how far
should it go? Is it right that such
meetings should be held as the one
in New York recently, when Nazl
speeches were made and parades
had in the streets? She said bad
as tnaL was, II was dI 1edSL opeH oh"
we could know what was going on
and what they were trying to do.
Our greatest menace today, she de-
clared. is the communistic move
ment, that is working secretly and
under the guise of "liberty," seek
ing to undermine the government
and influence our young people to
rebellion. She continued, we need,
and must have faith in ourselves,
cur government, and our leaders;
said. there have been many dictators
in the world before this, men with
dreams of world power, but they
have been overthrown or fell by the
weight of their own power The
thing for us to remember is that
God has the last word
The speaker said that to accom-
plish these necessary things we need
inspirations; that it is our duty to in
still love of country into the hearts
of children. to recount the deeds OF
valor Of all the ages, from l775,
when the shot was fired that was
heard around the world to the brave
stand of the men of the Alamo, the
victory at the battle of Gettysburg,
the turning point of the Civil war,
down to the time of Dewey and the
Spanish war in 1898, and In our
own generation the battle Of Bellieu
Woods when the Germans first felt
the mettle of the American troops.

The size of the garden, the prep.
aration of the soil, the kind and
the amounts of various garden prod
ucts, the care of the growing crop
are all carefully considered in pre-
pairing a garden plan. The purpose
is to produce enough of number
of different vegetables and, where
possible, fruits, so that the family
can have we'll balanced diet the
year around. 1t is estimated by the
FSA that the cash saving on food
amounts to $500 per family.

Where necessary, provision is made

NEW DESIGN In FEED BAGS

At last something has been done
about the used feed bag problem!
Ever since feed has been packaged
users have been confronted with the
problem Of finding useful disposal
of the bags. Now, however, a feed
manufacturer has eliminated this
problem by making bags of beauti-
full print cloth in a wide array of
colorsul patterns. The bags can be
used to dress up the home and fam
lily. Dresses, smocks, playsuits, fur
niture covers, curtains, and pillow
cases, are only few of the many
things for which these bags can be
used
The cloth is durable cotton of
ten called "Linene" in stores where
yard goods are sold and is dye and
tub-fast. There are patterns tC
