SOUTH BRITAIN BRIEFS
BY BILL GARRIGUS

Nate ENarts, trapper, hunter, fisherman, and farmer is again on the proWl for snapping turtles. Down in Mates cellar, where it's cool and comfortable, there's one old loggerhead that weighs al- most forty pounds ringside. That turtle came from Pennsylvania Pond, and it has an expression like a dictator getting ready to gobble a democracy. Anybody that wanders into Mates cellar, un- announced, is liable to lose foot.
 Giant turtles are just one of Mates specialties. He also has good luck with giant trout, foxes, mink, coon, and all other wild game and fishes. Nate seems to have special fOndness for trout and he seldom returns with an empty creel. Right now, he has 8 special job on hand; he has agreed to Snag bull trout to show to New Yorker and, if we know him, that trout is practical Iy in the pan right now.
 Mighty few people realize how destructive snapping turtles can be. Young ducks, fish, baby mink and muskrats, are all fancy tid- bits for a Yankee snap-turtle. An adult turtle will get more fish in week than a city man can catch all summer. There should be a bounty on turtles, but if there was some social-minded meddler would start a petition to- preserve the reptiles and the bounty would be removed.
 From Siberia to SOuthbury came George GrebenstchikOff, Rus sian author who doesn't cOnfine his efforts simply to writing. This very talented writer will soon pub fish book in English, and that book will be printed right here in S0uthbury. in plant that is cOm- plete to the last detail. Watch the new releases. for news of this book. We predict that the first edition will soon be a collectors item, and all editions will be good reading.
 The entertainment feature of the season was the minstrel show staged by the children of Bullet Hill school. The youngsters played to capacity crowds and their work compares favorably with produc- tions of the old-time minstrel masters. Music, jokes, chatter and fun are as much a part of a Bullet Hill education as the leaky water-bucket and the fresh-air plumbing. You'll go long way before you find better entertain CTS, or better scholars, than our kids from old Bullet Hill.
 Behind a school such as Bullet Hill is plenty of tradition, long files of youth who have gone forth to make their way in the world fortified with book learning won the hard way. There's little fuss and frills about these country schools but there's lot of hard work and tough studying. Behind Bullet Hill Is Mrs. Pauline King, a school teacher who understands youngsters. To Mrs. King goes the major share of the credit for the high rating of Bullet Hill en- tertainment and scholarship. Even if the textbooks are dog cared and torn, Mrs. King teaches youngsters how to seek knowledge and how to have good time while they're after it.
 An out-of-town writer was busy seeking facts about that old schoolhouse the other day. Per- haps we will see Bullet Hill pulp licized in some work of fiction or fancy, or maybe it will go on the air from one of the Connecticut radio stations. A broadcast of a Bullet Hill minstrel show would

BOB MAR5HALL'5
NAME IS GIVEN TO
PRIMITIVE AREA


A new wilderness area including
nearly million acres of wild and
rugged back-country on the Con-
tinental Divide in Montana has
been DESIGNATED by the Secretary
of Agriculture to commemorate the
late Robert Marshall, Chief of the
Division of Recreation ana Lands of
the U. S. Forest Service and a
frequent visitor to Alaska.
Located in the Flathead, and the
Lewis and Clark National Forests,
the Bob Marshall Wilderness Area
has been formed by combining what
were formerly known as the Penta-
gon, South Fork and Sun River
primitive areas, comprising re-
gion half again as large as the
State of Rhode Island, and one of
the first il which Bob Marshall
made explorations and hikes. Near
est roads now end five to ten miles
from the boundaries, and no roads,
human habitations, or other trap
pings of civilization will be per-
mitted except such trails as may

be needed to aid in fire control and
to enable wilderness travellers to
enjoy the country.
At his death in November, 1899,
Robert Marshall, known universally
as Bob was considered the lead
er of the movement to preserve re-
naming remnants Of primeval en-
vironment from the mechanization
and commercial use of civilization.
He founded and endowed the Will
derness Society as an organization
to help perpetuate the Wilderness
idea. AS Chief Forester for the
Indian Service for four years, and
as Chief of the Division of Recrea-
ton and Lands in the Forest Serv-
ice of the U. S. Department of
Agriculture from 1887 until his
death, Marshall was active in eX-
tending and Strengthening the will
derness area program.

Fishery
Reports

Gordon MEG Sloan of the Royal
Commission which has carried on
investigation of the salmon fishery
of British Columbia, reports on the
results of the study in the current
issue OF Western Fisheries, publish
ed at Vancouver, 3. C.
The Commissioner observations
en- the conservation of the run and
the influence of various types of
gear upon conservation are of gen.
eral interest.
ON comparing the different vari-
cites of gear to determine their
relative potential capacity for de-
StructiveneSs Of the run, find the
rap is not more destructive than
either the gill-net or purse seine.
Conservation of the run does not
depend upon the type of gear used,
but primarily upon the effective
regulate of its use Gill-nets and
purse-SeineS may be subject to reg
ulation of size Of net, in length,
depth and mesh; trollers to regula-
ton of spoons used, but the trap
may be regulated by complete clos
ure, if conditions warrant such a
step. 1t is a large fixed structure,
thus infringement OF closed sea-
son could be easily and quickly de-
tected. Major Motherwell is of the
opinion which l share, that it is
the most easily regulated of all
gear.
Gear Regulation
IF all types of gear could be SO
quickly and completely regulated as
trap, conservation problems, SO
far as gear is concerned, would not
present any great difficulty Com
missioner Sloan writes.
Later in the report, the Hon. Mr..
Sloan says. "a fact which must not
be overlooked is that all types OF
floating gear can move about from
Place to place and remain only
WiiClC lLoilllS COliultlOIlS dIt ldVOI-
able. The traps do not enjoy the
advantages Of mobility. They are
fixed, and the fish come to the
traps -not the traps to the fish.
They are thus continually subject
TO the various vagaries of wind and
tide which affect their catch, and
suffer disadvantages in that re-
gard more SO than movable gear,
which by moving about can to some
extent offset such unfavorable con-
ditions
Traps VS.. Employment
Discussing the effect of the traps
upon employment in the British
Columbia fisheries, the report
states: 1T is to be noted that the
abolition of the American wash
ington) traps did not lead to an in
crease in employment in other
branches of the industry in that
state"
IN discussing the loss of catch by
gill METERS because of the opera
