he didn't know he could, So now
both men likely will be deferred

Farmers and farm help can work

St. Clair Has
Good Fishing

Detroit. Mich, Sept. 2-Conserya-
ton department fisheries experts
are telling southern Michigan ang-
lers who are complaining about
gasoline rationing quashing their
fishing fun this year that some OF
the best still-fishing in the state is
found right in Lake st. Clair.
A creel census conducted by the
Departments Institute for Fisher
les Research in the summer OF 1912
revealed that 0.94 fish were caught
every hour in the waters of Lake
st. Clair. This figure closely ap-
proXimates the catch per hour for

fish per hour.
Perch make up S9l per cent of
NE catch in Lake St. Clair, followed
by rock bass (5.1 per cent? and
smallmouth black bass (2S per
cent?.
Department officials point out
that the reason that the catch per
hour in Lake st. Clair is so high is
probably that still,fishing with
worms or minnows. which makes
up most of the fishing done in the
lake, is usually very productive in
numbers Of fish caught

The gasoline restriction finally

Fishermen are taking the latest

They decry the loss of tons of fine
fishes, but at the same time are more
than willing to forego their pleas

need for gasoline is so great else
where.
Washington anglers have a de-

Indications point to a larger run
OF striped bass in the next few weeks

to be found in the channels above
the Three Sisters at all times, and
carp are everywhere in the slower
currents below Key Bridge, and re-

NEW YORK, May 26.-The
order cutting gasoline rations for
buses 40 per cent in the East may
be the finishing wallop for a lot
of sports that hoped to get by
this summer because they had
bus transportation. Golf courses
likely will feel it the most. But
the Garden State Race Track,
many minor league baseball
parks and even the AAU track
championships were depending
upon buses. The major baseball
parks, hoss tracks and boxing
emportums likely won't be affect
ed. Another peculiar situation is
that athletes-even sandlotters--
who play for pay can use their
cars to drive to work but the Gus
toners have to find some other
way to get there.
