Nearly 100000 people lost their
jobs or their Government aid today
by the scrapping or curtailment of
three depression born Federal
agencies that have cost more than
$1,000, 100000
Congress abolished the Civilian
Conservation Corps yesterday by
denying it funds for the fiscal year
beginning today. The start of
new Government business calendar
also saw the Work Projects Admin
also saw the Works Progress Admin
istration cut to skeleton form and
heavy reductions in the National
Youth Administration program.
In the background of the transi
ton there was a change of eras-
from men hunting jobs to jobs hunt
ing men.
The life of the CCC ended at mid
night and demobilization of some
$4,000 enrollees and $4,000 civilian
employees of the corps began today.
The WPA. its appropriation whitfield
by tWo-thirds from last year, was
trimming its rolls down from TOO 900
to 100000 The NYA, with funds
also cut by two thirds, began drop
ping $4,000 persons from its out-of-
school training program, to reduce
the number in this activity from
0,000 to 10000.
CCC Spent Three Billion.
The rising economic boom of de-
fense and war production already
has witnessed the eclipse of the
Public Works Administration, which
during the depression loaned and
granted more than $4,000 1000 to
create jobs.
In its eight and half years the
CCC spent nearly S3,O00,00O 900 put
ting 100000 youths and war vet
Grams through conservation, school
and health programs. In 1885 the
! corps had an enrolment of $4,000
in some 1000 camps and spent S480.-
100000 Responding to improved
/ employment conditions, the corps
| dwlndled in the fiscal year ended
400 camps. The money available
last year was $140000.000 The
President asked S78,0OO,0O0 for the
corps for the next fiscal period, but
| Congress turned thumbs down.
At Seattle, Lyle F. Watts, regional
forester for oregon and Washington,
said abolition of the CCC in that
area would deprive lumber mills and
farms of needed labor by requiring
workers from these industries to
take over forest fire. fighting work
handled largely by the CCC for the
| last eight years.
Work Relief Aided 5000, 900.
The WPA and its predecessors, the
Federal Emergency Relief Admin
istration and the Civil Works Ad-
ministration, have spent since 1888
more than $4,000, 100000 employing
at various times total of 100000
persons. The WPA spent S2,250,-
5000 in the 1888 fiscal year, with
an average of 100000 on its rolls.
Last July l it was employing 1,168.-
600 persons, but this number had
dropped last month to 100000.
The 1941-42 appropriation was
s875000,000 In the next fiscal year
the agency must get along with
| S280000,000 and an enrolment
averaging 100000, with a large num-
ber of its beneflciaries being persons
temporarily unemployed during the
conversion of industries to war

You ask me for an individual

We know some species appear at
certain places year after year, some
times almost to the day. We know
Of small portions of the migrations
Of others, that there are cycles in
which their number increase or de-
crease, and that the sun and the
moon has an effect on their feeding
periods.
We know, too, that under certain
conditions they feed best on the
ebb tide, and Of late years that
barometric pressure plays some part
in their scheme of life When we
were able to 60 as and where we
pleased to angle, we followed the
short-sighted policy of our forebear-
ers, took their presence as matter
of fact, and If they didn't bite today,
they surely would tomorrok.
Should Get All Information.
Now it behooves us to use every
bit of knowledge we have or can
dig up, so that the few days we may
be able to get on the water will be
productive.
We have the tide tables to con-
slider for that next trip, and the
barometer, which should be rising,
and also a third consideration, the
gravitational influence of the sun
and moon. which when combined
makes two periods of feeding i'm
portance during each "a hours.
To go into detail as to the why's
and wherefores is not necessary.
That has been proved pretty well.
and 50 long as the barometer agrees,
the solunar tables afford the only
real way Of foretelling active fish
ing periods in both salt and fresh
water. We should use them more
consistently If we are to crowd our
usual fun into fewer trips to close
by fishing grounds.
Time Ripe for Hardheads.
This week end should produce
better hardhead fishing on the bay
than any other this month. So for
those who have saved enough pre-
cious liquid to feel justified in ex-
pending limited amount on a fish,
ing jaunt, We venture the prediction
the going will be good anywhere
from South River to Point Look
out and on the Patuxent from
Benedict to Solomons.
There are no trout in the upper
bay. It's too early. They have, how
ever, made an appearance we'll down

weeks before they arrive on the

men will find many Of the oldtimers

ahead.
