Law Prohibits

Dressed Fish
Trees Shipped From
Out-of-State Must Be
Inspected For Disease

The Department of Conservation
served notice on fishing law viola
tors recently.
A series of "road blockades" on
routes leading to popular FISHING
areas resulted in scores Of arrests
and convictions. AS arrest reports
arrived daily, officials expressed be-
lief that more than so apprehen-
sions have been obtained as a re-
suit of the opening drive.
Most violations concerned posses
sion of more than the legal limit
Other offenses included failure to
have licenses and transportation of
steaked or dressed fish.
The Department warned that a
new law prohibits the carrying or
transportation Of dressed fish. En-
trails and gills alone may be re-
moved.
Intensive field surveys that may
help to determine hunting seasons
next fall were pushed forward on
Minnesota's upland game bird
ranges this week by the Depart
ment Of Conservation.
Pheasant nesting studies were
concentrated in the Marshall, Lyon
county vicinity. Hungarian part
ridge were also being investigated
in this area.
In the Twin Valley district OF
Norman county, pinnated grouse OF
prairie chickens were the major
concern of technicians. Also under
investigation were Hungarian part
ridges and pheasants.

The Department Of Conservation
warned this week that outstate
shipments Of tree planting stock
must be inspected for disease and

the Division of Nursery Inspection

Transportation must be prepaid
to st. Paul on all shipments sent
for inspection, which is free. Ship
ments will be prepaid from St

Each shipment must have a permit

State law requires the inspection,
officials said. Shipments coming

Hole-in-one-Club. Now two
weeks ago he ups and pared the

transition it was not given too

plenty Of impetus from the
state. In the local picture 1t
has been moved to a major
activity. Several years ago

under a state experiment a
girls indoor play day was ar

Miss Sheedy's waistlne and diet are the
exceptions that prove the modern rule Of
bigger waists and better diets. Alas,
she is no help at all for the rest Of
American womanhood, all trying TO
achieve a good, trim waistline that will

Nor does grammaw's 1S-inch waist
line offer any more substantial consola-
ton. Grandmaws standard, idealized waist
line was fixed by the span Of a gentleman's
hands II her waist could thus be spanned
grandma was a lady and presumably the
man was a gentleman.
At least. that was grammaw's story. and
we're stuck with it. But what is the ideal
waistline today, as opposed to the 1S-inch
ideal Of another day? What sets the standard
today, and who can make it stick?
Why. the nations couturiers set the stand
