Lake Waters
CROWDED. after
Week fRum0rs

After an upsydaisy week dur
ing which rumors of drastic gov
eminent regulation of fishing
and boating had local yachtsmen
and fishermen all agog, Satur-
day and Sunday saw more boats
out on the lake than ever be-
fore this season, it was report
ed from a variety Of sources
today.
Off Anchorville the Bay was
said to be practically black with
boats on the fishing grounds
from New Baltimore to Perch
Point wherever there was q boat
livery. At the Clinton mouth
boat liveries also did a land Of
flee business although the bust
ness generally for May hasn't
been up to par in some cases,
it was stated.
Three muskies were brought
in at the AL Gasow livery at the
Clinton mouth and ranged from
IL to Is pounds in weight. The
run has started late this year
with the first fish caught May
z as compared with April %
last year. However, the run is
getting better now while pike
and perch catches are off with
the majority of the anglers
trolling for the tig'uns of the
muskie clans.
There were many launches
and outboards out and about
Sunday but few Of the larger
yachts were out.
Permits and Identification
cards are still in demand and
are slowing up the boating sea-
son it was pointed out.
Boat liveries said that the tu-
multi over federal regulations
earlier in the week was the best
advertising they could have had
and that it really got results.

|Coffin for Hitler
On Our Output
Lime, Fuller Says
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., May 20.
-"Hitler's comm is on the American
production line today" Walter D.
Fuller, president Of the Curtis Pub
fishing Co. and chairman Of the
board of the National Association of
Manufacturers, told members of the
Pennsylvania Bankers Association
today.
"It will be the most expensive
coffin the world has ever known
but it will be worth the price II in
that coffin we also bury forever
the menace Of RECOMMENDATION and
dictatorship in this world" he said
Addressing the opening session OF
the associations 48th annual con-
vention, Mr.. Fuller described the
strides made by American industry
during the past two years in build
ing for national defense and credited
the progress to the American free
enterprise system"
Warning that the free enter
prise system" must be preserved by
selling" it to the American people,
Mr.. Fuller said II the "day does
come when we lose free enterprise
permanently, it will be . loss by
default"
Faint hearted ones say that II
(free enterprise) is killed by priori-
ties, price controls, rationing and
other restrictions imposed on top OF
10 years of legislative reform. Free
enterprise Is not dead. 1t will never
be dead until it dies in the hearts
of the American people"
