Pity the poor fisherman who
doesn't get the creel limit. He's the
same as the golfer who never gets
into the 70s.
And when he doesn't take home
all the fish the law allows he begins
to think he isn't so hot as an angler,
complains about poor fishing and
loses half the fun of the sport.
The remedy for this, according to
Kenneth Reid, executive secretary
of the Izaak Walton League of
America, is to lower the creel limit.
He makes the recommendation in
Wyoming Wild Life, official publica-
ton of the State Game and Fish
Commission
Incidentally. he point out, the
interests of conservation would be
helped by this move, since the angler
would be satisfied with fewer fish.
Emphasizing that there is lot
of psychology in this fishing busi-
ness" Reid declares 'creel limits
should be revised to the number or
weight of fish that can be taken by
the average fisherman in an average
days fishing"
mot only will this constitute a
highly desirable conservation meas
ure and improve the quality of fish,
ing, but the fishermen themselves
will be better satisfied because they
will consider they have done sue
cessful job when they have achieved
par on the fishing course"
In general, fishing regulations and
creel limits are far behind game
regulations and bag limits, Reid says.
While bag limits on game have

Potomac Sailors LIST
Summer Contests
For First Time
Opener Slated Sunday;
Fingers Crossed on
Wind Prospects

Potomac River shippers will es-
tablish another precedent under
wartime yachting with the staging
of the first midsummer racing this
Sunday off Hains Point.
Race officials of Potomac River
Sailing Association, which is spon-
soring the weekly races, have their
fingers crossed on the venture, how
ever, because Washington this time
of year is lacking in wind.
Spring and fall is the time for
sailboats here, which is why PRSA
has staged its series at those times.
Never before have officials held sum-
mer races here.
Because of transportation difficult
ties and long hours of many sailors
at war jobs here, it was felt that
few would be able to get away for
Chesapeake Bays many regattas.
Accordingly, the decision to try
racing through the summer.
Sundays races are the first of
four slated through the summer.
Others will be held August 2, Au-
gust Is and August 80.
The event this Sunday will be
held off Hains Point, as usual, with
the start at 2:30 pm. Commodore
Mac Lamborne will have charge of
the Race Committee.
All sailing men of the District,
whether members of PRSA or not,
are invited to participate in the
races.

over protection of migratory wild
life. The waterfowl population of
North America now is about 1O0,-
100000, according to estimates by
the Fish and Wildlife Service.
Bag limits on ducks are un-
changed at 10 per day, but hunting
hours now are from sunrise to sun
set instead of from sunrise to 4
pm. Geese, which showed no in
crease, are protected by having the
daily bag limit reduced from three
to two, except the more abundant
blue geese, OF which four may be
taken. If blue geese only are
bagged, the limit is six.
Mourning dove limits were re-
duced from II to 10. This applies
also to white-winged dove. The
open season was reduced from AZ
to 80 days, September is to October
Is. The season on rails and gal
linuleS, except coots, is from Sep
tember l to October. 30. The coot

WidIife Increased, Hunters
Are Given Ten Extra DAYS

The Nations duck hunters have
an extra 10 days added to the
season this year, and this increase
in the Maryland and Virginia sector
has been tackled to the end of the
shooting period, where it will please
sportsmen.
Shooting In the Southern zone
will be from November to January
10, giving a To-day period, same
as in other zones. This is short
ened somewhat here, though, be-
cause of State laws in both Mary
land and Virginia, which prohibit
hunting on Sundays.
Dates for the Northern zone are
September 26 to December 4, and
the intermediate zone, October Is to
December %.
The added number of shooting
days was made possible by an es-
timated one-third increase in Wild

deluge is hard to say, but it did
and barring further squalls will be
the best bet for those able to get
that far.
Catches of sizable bass have been
made close by. If more anglers
fished the Potomac just above Key
Bridge we believe they would find
their luck surprising. 1t is true
boats are limited, but so far the
supply has exceeded the demand.
At Follis' bait house several are
available, while next door there are
a dozen or more. No license Is re-
quired, and the place is reached in

Tear Gas Will Be Used
In Hawaiian Maneuvers
q. the Associated Press.

HONOLULU, July T.-Lt. Cen
Delos C. Emmons, commander OF the
United States Army's Hawaiian De-
partnent, in radio broadcast last
night said maneuvers starting to-
morrow would include the use OF
tear gas to test the combat fitness OF
all Army dispositions on Oahu IS
land, on which Honolulu and Pearl
Harbor are located.
"All troops have been trained to
take protective measures against gas
attacks. We will test these by actual
use of some tear gas"
A feature of the maneuVers Is
the assumption that all wire COM
munications lines have been wiped
out, forcing the Army to rely on
commercial radios to direct the de-
fense of the island.
1T would be serious mistake
to assume that some of the terrain
features of the Hawaiian Islands
considered by many impossible, are
actually impossible or even serious
obstacles" Gen. Emmons said.

DC. Yachtsmen Told
OF East Coast Need
OF Small Boats
Sailing Croft Especially
Asked by Coast Guard
For Defense Work

Washington's leading yachtsmen,
including commodores of local
clubs and commanders of Coast
Guard Auxiliary f1otillas, learned
first hand yesterday from the men
in the front lines" of the battle
of the Atlantic of the growing need
for small craft to assist in that
fight.
The group comprising some Is
men met yesterday at Capital Yacht
Club and Joined in round-table
discussion with Coast Guard Off
cials from Norfolk Of the East
Coast submarine menace.
1t Robin Hood, director of the
auxiliary for this area, led the
discussion with the assistance of
Capt. w. J. Keester, senior Coast
Guard officer for the Norfolk dis
trict Also present was 1t Comdr.
P. v. Mavor, captain of the port
for Washington.

The service Is in special need of
sailing yachts, with sea-going abil-
ity, 1t. Hood told the group. Also
needed are men with sailing ability
to man these boats. The yachts.
properly" equipped, will be sent
to sea for certain periods for OBJ
servation and rescue work, the
yachtsmen were told.
There is no age limit for this
duty, 1t. Hood reported. A pros
pective member of the Coast Guard
Reserve need have only strong
stomach and good sea legs.
The Coast Guard also is In the
market for men with redio, mechan-
ical and electrical training. Addi-
tional power cruisers for both inland
and off -shore patrol also are being
accepted, it was stressed.
Get B0atswain Mates Rating.
Sailing craft taken over are man.
ned by petty officers and seamen,
1t. Hood said. Owners who go in
with their boats may expect chief
boatswain mates rating.
From various men attending the
meeting came a number of sugges-
tions on available craft, both power
and sail, suitable for Coast Guard
work
Among those present were Capt.
Frank Campbell, head of the Wash
ington division of the auxiliary;
Commodore Jacob Jacobson of Cor
inthian Yacht Club. Commodore E.
Hillman Willis of Capital Yacht
Club Comdr. Charlie Little of the

commanders of the city's auxiliary

run, while Poplar Island is less. A
few miles above is Eastern Bay and
Bloody Point, where fishing is about
as consistently good as any place
in the upper Bay. Add to that this
fishing port CDeale) is only 80 miles
from downtown Washington and 1t
is easy to understand why it is just
about as popular as any on the Bay
this summer.
Striper schools have been haunt
ing this section for many weeks.
Not only in the mouth of Eastern
Bay and under Poplar Island but
around Holland Point as well,
which is unusual 1t is not until
late fall when the oyster tongers
are turning the worms out of the
beds that the big bass use these
grounds. That they are doing so
now is the fishermans gain.
Catches Pair of Beauties.
1t isn't only the little fellows
either, for Capt. Harry Manifold
tied into 9-pounder one evening
this week and was able to boat
him. He returned the next eve
ming and brought back another that
tipped the scales at 10 pounds.
An addition to these grounds this
summer are the large black drum
We already have noted the catch
of two, the largest of which weighed
63 pounds, and appeared winner
Vt the cup until William Yake,
fishing out of Tilghmans Island,
landed one weighing IS pounds.
The black drum cannot be called
game fish by any stretch of the
imagination. Nor is it desirable
food fish. But as an addition to
the few summer species in upper
Bay waters the drum is welcomed
by sportsmen. Oystermen want no
part of them for their great appe-
tites take a tremendous toll of the
beds. Large schools have been
known to clean many square miles
of productive bars.
Norfolk spot made their first ap-
pearance on Holland Point bar two
weeks ago. Last week end there
were several sizable catches. With
that as a GUIDE we believe this week
end should find the vanguard
backed up by the main schools and
fishing for them much worthwhile
Remember, too, bloodworms or soft
crab are required to interest them
Hardhead Catches Continue.
The foregoing might lead one to
believe Herring Bay is our choice
for a day of fishing. Well it is, but
the stretch below equally Is produc-
tive.
The catches of hardhead on the
Gooses continue, not so large as
those of 10 days back but big enough
to hold almost any ones interest
The shortest route is by way OF
Breezy Point. Boats should be re-
served we'll in advance. A phone call
| might save a fruitless trip.
Some fishermen have failed to
showsup promptly or not at all for
boats they reserved, which has
brought about the practice of boat
men filling their boats with custom
ers that happen to be on the spot.
Neither helps the game, and they
bring hard feelings, so when you
play safe by making reservation
keep it or phone in time to allow
other arrangements. The boatmen
should keep their end of the bar
gain, too.
