Mr.. Topperwein had some sane
advice to give to young hunters
and parents. 1t is the American
heritage of everyone to know how
to handle a gun, he said, anc
pointed out that Americans have
long been a nation of gun toters.
Not in a martial sense but in the
sense of self-protection and the
promotion of the sport. If your
boy wants a gun, don't put him off
he advised parents. See to it he
gets a gun, but don't turn him
loose with it. Set about teach.
ing him at once the simple rules OF
safety for handling arms, go out
with him, so that when he ap.
proaches the age when he is alone
he won't be a dangerous hunter.
The only near accident the
TOpperweins have had In a
long career of exhibitory shoot
ing happened at a gun club in
Minneapolis. An old fellow had
q garden spot behind the club
and insisted, despite all efforts
at removal, that he must con-
tinue his hOeing. =. They went
ahead with the shooting and
suddenly a yell developed from
the hoer and he came charging
across to the club. Mr.. Top
perwein was frankly alarmed.
A $3.50 shell had all but
ripped the hoe handle in two.
-. The man wanted fifty cents

Concensus among local sports
men is that the state has hit with
its lakes conservation program
with the lingering planting. .
The old fry system was on the pan
for a long time before the finger
ling idea was able to develop. It
was actually in some lakes like
pouring water into a sieve. In
Sank the fry quickly became perch
food, many here feel, and mortal
ity was probably much over seven
ty-five percent. Fingerlings
have a much more chance for sur
vivial in the waters and local
sportsmen back the program whole
heartedly.

The tank of bass follows q
shipment of more than three
thousand walleyes dumped in

department officials adjudged
Sank adequate waters for pike

several walleyes have been TAX

rather more abundant quaint
titles than in quite a number
of years. Simmer says too
that tanks of crappies, sunfish
and northerns, all fingerlings,
will be released into the lake
in September and October.

emphasis that it is as good as 1910,
probably no better and certainly
not any worse. Other echo
these sentiments for this central
