Business properties now being rented in New

furnishings, may come under the same OPA
rent control regulations applied to home and
apartment rentals there if Congress adopts an
amendment introduced last week by Sen. Rob-
e1t Wagner ON. ".

Its introduction followed numerous COM

scrupulous landlords in New York City. Wash

Latest charge of rent gouging in the nations
capital came from war firm, engaged in
secret production for the Navy which last
week erected a sign in front of the plant
charging that they were forced to vacate part
OF the plant area because the landlord was
demanding 233 1-3 per cent rent increase.
Sen. Wagners amendment, however, would not
apply to Washington because the Federal City

The fishing contest is still going
strong and two more of the finny tag
bearing denizens of the Buckeye quar-
~ have been captured by Bluffton
anglers.
The. first tag bearing blue gill has
been hooked emitting Dan Triple
horn to a carton of cigarettes, or a
can of tobacco and nifty pipe, as a
choice of prize. The prize offered
by Charles Dillman, owner of Dill
mans News Stand, was for band
numbered 9755z.
Louis Burkholder has snagged a
bass bearing the number 9790z which
entities him to $3.50 in trade at the
w. H. Gratz Footwear Shop.
Both fishermen have been issued re-
ceipts by contest director Gail Num-
ma, and these two men may claim
their prize anytime from the dealers
As the metal tags are turned in
they will be ON display on card in
the Bluffton News Office window. The
winners name and the tag from the
firsh will be placed adjacent to the
dealers name who furnished the prize.
If tagged bass is caught during
the closed season, which runs until
June Is, remove the tag gently, with
wet hands, and release the fish again
in the quarry.
Turn the tag in to the contest di-
rector and the prize may be claimed.
+ There is no closed season on blue
gills and there are still % tagged
members of this species and 10 tagged
bass, swimming around in the quarry
waiting for some angler to catch them.
Blue gills may be taken of any
size, but the fisherman is restricted to
20 per day.
Despite a cold week end the fish
We're biting at the quarry and as some
expressed it the suckers were on the
wrong end of the poles. AT one time
there were no less than 16 fishermen,
all fishing in the Az foot swimming
pool. First one would pull out blue
gill and then another. Young Wilbur
Bracy and his brother John really
walked off with the largest stringer of
fish. Those boys must have had at
least 80 nice blue gills between them,
and not banded one in the bunch.

Jess Manages comfortably seated in
a beach chair and pulling in fish re-
minded one of fishing from yacht off
the reefs of Lake Erie. Such luxury.
A number of bass were caught SUM-
day afternoon, but all were placed
back in the quarry.
And Arden Baker after learning
that Geo. Carmack offers $500 on
bass number 9796z if the fish is
caught before July l, says it would
be worth $1,000 to have the pleasure
of hooking George!
And real sportsmanship shown by
Spike Berry and son Jimmie who in
fishing for the fun of it caught at
least 35 blue gills and released each
back in the quarry just as soon
as they were landed. That's real con-
servation folks and makes better fish
ing!
The Fostoria United Sportsmen's
club have purchased 2t additional
acres of land adjacent to their club
grounds with plans to improve skeet
shooting facilities and providing ad-
ditional recreation. Several years ago
this same club purchased a tract of
land and donated a section of it to
the state for the construction of a
fine roadside park. There is worthy
idea, fellows!

Shipping schedules and method of dis
tribution are expected to be determin-

sufficient ammunition for game shoot
ing will he available by fall, for the

MUSHROOM SEASON OPENS

Many folks are tramping the woods
and orchards for that early spring
delicacy-the edible morsel, better
known as the sponge mushroom. A
good many have been found and Gus
Basinger, Don Fritchie, and Clark
Beagle were able to gather 165 in the
Aaron Messenger woods and vicinity
last week end.
Another party of hunters, Mr.. and
Mrs. Gail Mumma, and Mr.. and Mrs.
Raymond Walters found approximate
ely 100 nice size mushrooms in a
woods near Pandora. Will Carr gath
cred Is in his wood and Fritz Swank
and Weldon Lugibill picked up two
sacks full containing nearly 100.
Light rains the early part of this
week followed by warm nights will
literally make mushrooms zip out of
the ground. Which reminds me that
Gus Basinger claims he heard a mush-
room pop out of the ground. He says
it sounded like a piece of cloth being
ripped. Probably he heard the cloth
rip alright-but after he made grab
at the mushroom after spotting it ir
the grass.
Do you have nice tree or some
equipment that could be donated to
the new park under construction at
the Buckeye quarry. If such equip
ment can be obtained get in touch with
Aldine Kohl or Frederick Tschantz

work on the project.

ately on four FRI hts today to
thwart the most ambitious Japa-
nese offensives in seven years OF
warning against the Chinese.
The Asiatic fighting overshadow-
ed all other Pacific war fronts, in
Guiding the progressing American
invasion OF the schoutens, be-
cause It was the most ominous.
Chungking authorities felt that
China, beset in the north and east,
may be entering its most critical
period of the conflict.
Japanese troops pushed down
the HankowCanton railroad to
within 80 miles OF Changsha, a
city the Chinese have seen fit to
defend with great effort on three
previous occasions, all success
fully. Four enemy columns push
ed southwark toward Changsha, APP
parently to gain full control of
the rail line. which would help sew
up a great segment OF China front
ing on the Pacific.
Coupled with Japanese drives to
win control OF the Hankow-Peiping
or northern section of the railway,
the enemy objective could be to
seal off all of Eastern China-rich-
est part OF the country-against
future Allied use as base to bomb
Japan.

Police Have Trouble
Arrestine Two Girls

Two eighteen-year.old inmates of
the Adrian Women's Reformatory
were being returned there today fol-
lowing their apprehension by state
police early this morning after a
struggle in which Troopers Jess
Ralph and Oramel O'Farrell were
severely scratched, their uniforms
torn, and In which two rear win
dows were kicked out OF the state
police patrol car. The girls were
apprehended by officers after a cali
from motorist, who stated that he
had picked them up while hitch
hiking just outside Of Adrian, and
who requested that the officers
meet him en- route to Detroit to in
vestigate his passengers. The two
attempted to flee when the police
met their car, but were taken into
custody. The girls staged a battle
with officers, kicking and scratch
ing while they were being placed
in the patrol car, but were subdued
by the troopers and taken to Wash.
tenaw County Jail.
