NEW SAFETY ZONE SIGNS

Starting April Is and ending
June 15, both date inclusive, fisher
men should watch for the red fish
safety zone signs. Throughout the
state there are 10 of these closed
areas and these bright red markers
show where fishing and taking of
bait are prohibited during the two
months closed spawning period.
The distribution of these fish man
agement signs has been completed
and posting is being done by game
protectors and fish management
agencies, Conservation Commission
er Don Waters announced today.
With one exception, metal sign,
the posters are made of heavy card
board. A red sign indicates prohi-
bition, yellow sign indicates par
tial prohibition and a white poster
supplies information about fishing
ing regulations.
The temporary zones are the best
stream spawning areas and the OBJ
ject in setting aside these breeding
areas is to allow the fish to spawn
unmolested by permitting fishermen
to catch fish in the rest Of the
stream (black bass are protected
from May l to June Is inclusive)

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

Among the worlds continents.
Europe is next to the smallest. 1t
is larger than Australia but is less
than half the size of North Amer
lea. 1t is only one-fifth as large
as Asia.
Those statements are about area,
not population. Europe ranks
second in number of people. It
has more people than North Amer
ica. South America. Africa and
Australia together
The name of Europe, like that of
Asia, seems to go back to the
ancient Assyrians. They called the
region to the west of them "Ereb,'
meaning Setting Sun" or Land
of the Setting Sun" From "Ereb"
the name Europe" is believed to
have come, with changes in the
way of speaking it through the
centuries.
Europe is the chief home of the
white race. It contains about two
thirds of all the white people on
earth.
The white race holds first place
In the so-called art of war" 1t
can produce better cannon, better
warplanes and better naval vessels
than any other race.
Many persons believe that any
nation which gets control of Eu-
rope will be danger to nations on
other continents. There is fear
that such a nation might make it
self master of the whole world.

other reasons as well.
Airplanes, railway lines across
mountains. the telegraph, the tele-
phone, the mail service and the
radio have done much to help
people "cut across" the mountains.
They have travelled more freely
and have come to know one an
other better.
If that had gone on for q longer
time, perhaps the world would
have been saved from the present
war. Let us hope that in the years
ahead free and happy Europe
will rise. Such a Europe will do q
great deal to decide whether the
rest of the world can be free and
happy.
