Fishing Stops In
National Quarry

Fishing in the old National quar-
ry which serves as the water supply
for the Woodcock generating plant
of the Central Ahio Light and Pow
er Co., will be suspended for the
duration of the war.
Announcement of the new ruling
affecting Buttons most popular fish
ing spot was made Tuesday night by
Silas Diller, president of the Bluff
ton Community Sportsman's club.
Fishing in the quarry and tres
passing on the ground will be pro-
hibited during the war in coopera-
ton with the emergency program,
Diller said.
Buckeye lake will not be closed to
members of the Sportsman's club,
however, and additional restocking
is planned to make that site better
fishing spot, Diller said.
The local sportsman's organization
is cooperating to the fullest in the
emergency program, Diller said.
A local minute mans troop made
up of members of the organization
is being formed, and the group is
assisting in promoting other de-
tense activities. In addition the
club has purchased 800 war bond.

DRIVERS URGED
 TO USE BUSSES
Public Utilities Commits sion Believes Greater
 Tire Saving Possible

The State Public Utilities commits sion has issued an appeal to auto- mobile owners to conserve tires by using public transportation service whereeve available. Through its secetary, R. c. Schneider, the fol- lowing public appeal is made:
 Transportation is of vital impor- tance to the people of Connecticut. The saving of rubber is imperative under present conditions. The Pub lie Utilities Commission of Connec- ticut as the War Transportation Regulating Agency, by designation of the Governor, is concerned with providing the most transportation in such a way as to save the great est amount of rubber. The Commis- sion believes that these aims will be accomplished:-if existing pub lie transportation vehicles are used wherever reasonably possible; if school busses are used on new public transportation routes to move war workers from their homes in outly- ing towns to the industrial plants; and if workers to whom those two services are not available will pool their private cars on "swap-a- ride" plan.
 E. Irvine Rudd, Chief Engineer of the Commission, says that recent newspaper publicity on this trans portation problem, has emphasized only one feature of the Commis- sion's plan. In consequence the public is being induced to depend on private automobiles for trans portation rather than ride the pub lie transportation vehicles. Only where public transportation is not reasonably available, should the Swap-a-ride plan be invoked.
 MT. Rudd said that the tires on our automobiles must be saved if the private car is to be available for our emergencies, therefore the smart thing to do is to let up driv- ing our cars and hide on public transportation.
