Will Hold
Crippled Children
Clinic in Poison

With the advent of fall and re-
opening of school, the State Board
of Health, through its Crippled Chill
drens' Division, again holds its elm
ical examinations of crippled chill
dren. Every measure is taken to dis
cover, diagnose and treat the con-
dition and see that the treatment
recommended is followed through to
its conclusion.
The leading orthopedists and
plastic surgeons of the state are in
attendance at the clinics. Of the
1000 cases referred within the past
few years 1.068 have been progress
sively treated under the division.
Of these, 1874 have received hospi-
tai care during the past year. Cases
treated include congenital deformi-
ties, paralytics, accident victims and
persons with deformities resulting
from infantile paralysis, tuberculo-
sis and various infectious diseases.
DR.. M. X. Smith, director of the
Crippled Childrens' Division, per-
sonally directs the clinics and a
pediatrician examines patients to
determine the general physical con-
dition and detect any organic de-
fects, in addition to the examination
given by the orthopedist.
Any person, under Il years of
age, suffering from Gripping con-
dition is eligible for examination,
but only those who are in economic
distress are eligible for hospital
care under this service. Persons at
tending for the first time, should be
referred by their family physician
who should report his findings of
the physical examination to the or
thopedic nurses, who work under
the direction of the orthopedist and
give supervision in exercises and
treatments. Miss Angela Huchala
and Elizabeth Julison, public health
nurses, will be in charge of the
clinic. Appointments for examina-
tons at the clinic should be made
previously with Mrs. Marjorie
Gregg, senior caseWorker, Dept. of
Public Welfare, Poison, Mont.
Patients from Lake, Sanders, Lin
coin and Flathead counties should
attend the Poison clinic Registra-
ton will begin at 8 a. m, Saturday,
Oct. "a. and will close at 3 p. m
The Clinic is held at Methodist
Church Annex.

Fishing Is Getting Much Better Each Week;
Channel Boss Early in North CoroIino

Each succeeding week end holds
greater promise for fishermen in
this area both as to choice and
numbers.
The North Carolina coast appears
likely to hold the spotlight. During
April fishing for channel bass most
likely is accomplished from boat,
trolling just over the bar of an inlet
or laying beyond the break and cast
ing into the schools. 1t usually Is
about mid-May before the surfman
finds them close enough. But this
spring, the schools not are only
larger and earlier than usual but
also are closer in. Close enough,
we believe, to fish from the beach.
The bluefish, which usually ar
rive in this section shortly after the
channel bass, are unreported. No
where along the South Carolina and
Georgia coasts are commercial men
taking them. This possibly means
another season without these tackle
busters. At Jensen. on the Florida
coast, there was a small run during
the past week, when normally 1t
would have occurred in March. ~~e
Hardhesds Already Plentiful. 91
Hardheads are In bay waters In
great numbers. It has been several
seasons since pound nets lifted so
many so early and Of an unusual
size.
First catches in the Honga River
on the Eastern Shore were made
last week. With them were o few
small trout. Over the past week
end anglers caught few at points
on the Patuxent.
Hardhead fishing isn't to be
recommended yet, but for those who
find fun In trying, Benedict, on the
Patuxent, is well worth a chance.
Deeper water at Broomes Island or
anywhere below is second choice.
The temperature of the bay and
river still is pretty low. Several
warm days in a row would help lot
The first hardheads were lifted in
upper bay nets more than two
weeks ago, which Is evidence that
they are spread all over the Chesa-
peake.
Catching Crappie in Virginia.
The season on crappie opened In
Virginia on the 18th. and with trout
fishing illegal until the 20th many
Old Dominion anglers worked over
the creeks and coves down the
Potomac.
Phil King caught the largest
crappie. 1t weighed exactly 2
pounds, which is some fish for this
neck of the woods. Ralph Fleharty
creeled five at Gunston, the best
catch to come to our attention. He
took them several hundred yards
above Treiblers in the mouth of a
small gut.
Fishing there isn't much after the

Boating Is Not Barred
On Connecticut and
Long Island Shores
Only Certain Portions
Of New London Area
Under Restrictions

NEW LONDON, Conn, April "a
The Widespread report that all
recreational boating has been en-
tirely banned from the Connecticut
shore and Long Island Sound. has
no foundation, according to 1t.
Robert p. Anderson, United States
Coast Guard assistant captain of
the port here.
"A careful reading of the regu-
lations governing operation of pleas
ure craft will show that the greater
part of the Connecticut shore and
Long Island Sound is open to pleas
ure craft at present" he declared.
In certain portions of the New
London area, movements of recrea-
tioriai craft is banned for military
reasons, but boats may operate here
north and west Of a line running
from Mufnford Point In the town
Of Groton, Conn, to Sea Flower
Reef Light. thence easterly to Lati-
mer's Reef Light and easterly to
Napatree Point.
Recreational craft also may oper-
ate In that portion Of the New Lon
don defense area west of a line run
ming from Milestone Point in the
town Of Waterford, Conn, to Orient
Point, Long Island.
The remainder Of Long Island
Sound west to the Connecticut New
York line is open to the operation
Of recreational craft, except for GER
tain harbor areas.
Boats passing through the re-
stricted anchorage zones of Coscob
and Greenwich may do so only after
stopping for Identification by the
Coast Guard patrol stationed there.
Clearance signals in these two har-
bors will not be required.

BILL ACKERkAAN

There, however. are many good
spots in the Potomac above Joe
Fletcher's.
This season reservations for boats
on the bay will almost be q must.
The reason is to be found In the
defense projects mushrooming from
one end of the bay to the other.
Many oldtipe shippers are show
ing preference for the high wages
and will not be found in their usual
haunts. Fleet captains also are ex-
periencing some trouble in man
ming their boats. Others are ferry
ing workers
To take their places there more
than likely will be many oldsters,
who will find 1t fun to return to an
intriguing occupation.

Huge Increase in Motorbouts
Halted by Material Shortage

A fve-yesr upswing In the popu-
larity Of recreational boating in the
United Statets continued until the
closing months OF ls4l, when priori-
ties and shortage of materials finally
curtailed production, the National
Association OF Engine and Boat
Manufacturers announced in re-
vealing that numbered motor boats
used on Federal waters increased
by 32,ole craft during the year.
This was a gain Of 10 per cent as
compared with a IS per cent in.
crease in numbered boats during
1910, when 36.43o craft were added
TO Federal waters.
General increases were registered
In all customs house districts, but
the largest percentages Of gains
were recorded on inland rivers and
lakes.
New York City is the Nations
most populous motor boating center,

ing more interest In support Of a

The occasion Of the hearing Is an

the North Atlantic United States
Engineers ONCE. ruling that a
barge canal across New Jersey was
unjusttfied economically in view of
evidence collected during surveys
over the past five years. A proposed
deeper ship canal previously had
been disapproved by the Army En-
gineers.
An adequate canal across the
State Of New Jersey has been ad-
vocated by the Atlantic Deeper

Worries Anglers
Federal WiIdlifs Expert
Gives Suggestions on
Preserving TockIe
By ALEXANDRA n. GEORGE,
wide wesld Features writer.


They're already hooking trout In
many sections, and elsewhere ang-
lers are readying their fishing rods.
The trout season Is the big touch
Oh for another year Of sport fishing,
but the army Of American anglers
Of all kinds, numbering about
12,0oo 900, win be slashed heavily for
the duration.
Reasons ~ Big Drsp.
: The four war-produced develop
ments are the reasons:
/. Decreased use Of automobiles
owing to the tire shortage.
Z. The induction Of thousands Of
fishermen into the military service.
!. The labor situation-more fish-
ermen are at war work, have little
time for fishing.
I. An eventual shortage Of nsh-
ing tackle.
More anglers viii be going by train
or buss to the vicinity Of fishing
grounds, but the fact that many
streams and lakes are inaccessible
except by motor highway Is expected
to reduce sharply the amount Of
fishing. Some observers look for
q reversion to more rugged DAYS
when addicts took q train and then
rode in q rickety wagon or footed 1t
several miles from the "deepos to
their favorite fishing spot.
: Coastal Sport suffers.
You can look for . sixabls Jump
In the number Of bicycle travelling
anglers, and some waltons In rural
regions and small towns viii do as
grandpa did - take the horse and
buggy for . 1o-mile jaunt to Cow
Pasture Run for their days fun.
In prospect for saltwater anelers
is . drastic curtailment and COM
plete prohibition in some sections
Of ofishore fishing because Of enemy
submarine operations. Many ocean
going sport fishing craft already
have been converted to patrol work
The supply Of fishing equipment
in general Is believed adequate to
meet this years demands.
"Ounce Of Prevention"
As Talbot Denmead, veteran au-
thority Of . the Federal Fish and
Wildlife Service, puts 1t, the No.
tip for 1912 anglers Is: II you have
a good fishing rod you'd better take
good care Of it.
Denmead, an angling enthusiast
himself, gives these hints on cart
Of equipment. =
/. See that . rod is dry before
putting 1t away. A wet bamboo rod
win warp, and mildew viii spoil any
finish.
2. Keep your rod IN ,aannetal or
fiber case. Many fine rods are bro
ken while being transported unpro-
tected In automobiles.
8. Keep your reel clean and wel1
oiled. "A reel that isn't oiled prop
erly wears out three ttrnef more
quickly. 49,
1. Inspect guides On rod period
ically; q slight crack will cause .
line to wear out rapidly.
5. Many dies after some use are
not too At, yet are too good to dis
card. They can be at least partially
restored by holding over q Jet of
steam from the old hot-water kettle.
