Monday morning the post of- flee was closed (you could get ln- to the lobby to the boxes) aud it wasn't opened until about ? pm. Reason-the post office force re- belled against working in the cold place with a cold stove
 For some time past the stove had been unsatis actory and the landlord had recently replaced it with new stove. But that didn't nd the trouble and after several different occasions of spending hours trying to get the heater to percoIate, Postmaster Maurice Briggs decided he had enough.
 Postmaster Briggs, we heard, wired his department something to the effect of mo heatee, no workee" and shut up shop until the stove was fixed later that day
 We know how MT. Briggs felt i, having had a sessIon with our own shop heater last week
 First the stove went out We took off that doomsiig on the end of the carburetor and no oil was coming from the line. So we decided, the line was frozen (no. we weren't out of oil, we had gotten it that day) We borrow. ed hot water from a cafe and

Ais father, Lee H Wakefield. president of the Apex Fish company, was any thing but dead; we had confused the Major with another cannery- man, also from this area, whose father had died
 The article was inside on page II without a headline and we prayed nobody would lead it, but the issue hadn't been out a half hour when friends of the "deceased" began asking us a. bout it. Later we heard from the son, too, when he came back on a visit, but it is just now that we hear from the "man in question:.

Pool Subject
Of Study
Governor O'COnor An.
nounces Beginning Of
Biological Survey

A biological and photographic
study Of the Conowingo pool and the
headwawters of the Chesapeake Bay
in an effort to develop their fishery
resources has been started by tie
State under the direction of DR.. R. H.
Thompson, who specialized in this
field at Stanford University, Cover
nor O'Conor has announced.
DR.. Thompson will be assisted by
the staff of the State Department of
Research and Education. The Susque-
hanna Power and Electric Company,
the Department of Game and Inland
Fish and the Department of Tidewa-
ter Fisheries are cooperating in the
project, the Governor added.
The investigation will include the
chemical and physical conditions of
the impounded waters at Conowingo
as well as survey of fish present,
the food to support them and factors
that control their survival and
growth.
Governor O'Conor said the study is
expected to throw considerable light
on the causes for the decline in fish
abundance in the lower Susquehanna
river. Following determination of the
quality of the water, Governor o.
Conor said, pattern for the develop
ment OIL the impounded area can be
developed to offer sound basis for
future fishery management in that
section of the States waters.
The Governor said biologists at the
Chesapeake Biological Laboratory
have advised him that is rather typ
zeal of large bodies of water created
by the damming of rivers that tkey
decline in fishery resources over a
period of years following construc-
ton.
This, it was said, is due to the slow
successive changes brought about by
siltatioD. stratification, differences in
water level, stagnation and other fac
tors Such changes so alter the envir-
0nment in some cases as to require
change IN the kinds of fish being
uesd in the stocking and manage
ment programs.
In still other cases, these changes
are of such type and magnitude as
to render formerly productive areas
virtually worthless, but the biologists
explained that Conowingo is not of
the latter type, the Governor said
