 With the ice-f1Shing season around the corner, one of the best tips we could give would be to read your game laws carefully. As most of us know, laws in var ious states differ.
 AS for bait, ordinarily it's fish ed well down on the bottom and If there is enough of it, some of the bait can be cut up fine and used as chum by dropping it through the holes to attract more fish below.
 Mnnows fare the best winter bait, but GU perch-belly and sim liar baits are often used. Fresh minnowS csn be kept from freez- ing by wrapping in an old wool en sock. If they freeze they will break away from the hook too easily.
 A gaff in frequently useful in ice-f1shing. and one should al- ways be taken along to gaff fish before they get their eyes too close to the hole.
 We have heard of several ways to prevent ice forming in the fishing holes but the simplest thing to do is to use the skinner whenever needed. Dropping soft in the hole is said to help, but we doubt it.
 When chopping a hole for ice fishing always do it in such & manner so as not to leave a straight hole or sharp edges of ice which will cut the lines and thereby result in lost fish. Use the ice pick for smoothing of the edges and points of all ice after the hole has been cut, and eSpec- tally that around the edges be- heath the ice.
 The actual fishing equipment needed is simple; an ice pick on a long handle, perforated dipper for skimming the holes of ice, and & few simply made tip-ups.

Hunting
 and Fishing
By GENE VALLON

From one of our readers comes an interesting note regarding his pheasant hunting trip to South Dakota. Having recently return ed from a two week hunting
 vacation in South Dakota, Eddie Hajjar sends in 8 snapshot show ing one days limit of eight pheasantS ErQt he brought down in the land Were shooting pheas- ants is not only a sport, but necessity as far as the farmers are concerned. Eddie didn't say that what the overall picture of his whole trip was, but it must be safe to assume on the basis of his photo. that he came home with the possession-limit of forty birds for the two-week trip.
 Was my face red. But, before explaining, has anyone a type writer for sale? Well, anyway here is the story.
 One of the most eventful pre- sentations of our Hunting and Fishing Radio programs took place on our Thanksgiving Day broadcast when our featured guest was Dr. Russell P. Hunter, superintendent of the State Fish and Game Board. Words could never explain our pleasure and delight in have such distin- guished guest on our program, especially on Thanksgiving Day. But that's not why my face was red.
 It all happened when We at- temped to pay tribute to Dr. Hunter in last Wednesdays col umn for his part in proposing a plan to clean the Naugatuck River of pollution, not only for the sake of the fishing sport, but primarily in the interest of public health. What your writer had in mind was the thought in this quotation: 'The proposing of this plan is one of the reasons why we deemed it an houor to have Dr. Hunter as our guest"-but In composing last weeks column, your writer's peculiar form of writing transformed the word deemed" into story with the wrong word and it's undesired flavor.
 Knowing Dr. Hunter to be a good sportsman, We are sure he readily realized the actual thoughtwe had in mind, but we print this story in the interest

 Miss Arnold's shave consists Of two X-ray treatments of five to ten minutes each. with the rays going through an aluminium plate before they hit the whiSkerS. That makes 'em curl up.
