STRAND

Unchallenged as the "smartest horse in movies" Trigger, Rogers, beautiful palomino, performs more than 70 tricks on cue.
 The horse, almost as famous as his master, is seen with Roy Rogers in their latest Republic picture, Song of Arizona" now at the Strand theater.
 Rogers has trained the horse him. self, and Trigger goes through his repertoire of amazing tricks at children's and veterans hospitals, on the stages of theatres, and at rodeos as well as in motion pie lures.
 So popular is the horse, that he receives fan mail addressed to him personally, and requesting his pho- tograph.
 Trigger is nine years old now, and at the height of his ability, as an actor. Rarely tempermental, he does become nervous when fans under the impression that hairs from his tail are lucky souvenirs, attempt to get the prized trophies.
 Starting tomorrow, the Strand will present Republics new Mag nacolor feature 8 Home On the Range" It features Monte Hale and Adrina Booth and Bob Noland and His Sons of the Pioneers.

STRAW HATS

If guy isn't wearing a straw hat now, he definitely isn't in step with the styles. I have the same straw hat I used to wear in vaude- vile, and I'd still be wearing it if it weren't for those tomato stains on it.
 But everybody must be buying new ones now. I went into store and said, What do you have in the way of a straw hat?" The clerk said, About sixty other peo- pie they're in line ahead of you!" The fellow next to me said, How much is the straw hat on that dummy" Mt was very embarrassing when the salesman took off my hat and started look ing for the price tag.
 don't know why they make such a fuss about straw hats, any, way. After all, what's a straw hat but blocked horse food?
 The history of hats is a little strange, too .. The cavemen wore hats to keep the sun out of their eyes, the knights of the mid- de ages wore them for protection, and now the politicians wear them so they can throw lem in the ring.

Hunting and
 Fishing
By
 GENE VALL0N

Shad Season Ends-Tl1e commer- cial season for shad ended last Saturday at midnight. The rest day provided for commercial nets from sunset Saturday to Sunset Sunday had been lifted on June IS for the period from sunset to midnight.
 The lifting of this regulation pro- vided approximately an additional six hours of net fishing for the commercial fisherman last week.
 Extension Of Trout Season?-The State Board of Fisheries and Game has not yet given consideration to the extension of the trout season which closes legally on July 15.
 This matter will be taken up at the Board meeting to be held in the latter part of June.
 If the trout season is extended, will fish-planting continue for the extended period? With the same number of trout released during each stocking?
 Speaking of the number of trout released, does anybody know ap- proximately how many trout com- prise each stocking? And on what basis is the number for each To- cality determined?
 As long as questions are taking the lime-light today, here are a few more.
 If representative sportsman was selected to witness the planting of trout in our nearby waters, would it help in any way to increase the allotted number of fish for this section of the state? (which has been sadly neglected
 How can we stop these few meat fishermen" from following the truck around? Are there any tip ped-of in advance or do they have a keen scent? Something fishey is going on, me thinks)

pr. Russell P. Hunter, Fish and Game Supt., took to the air-waves again Last week. Speaking with Dr. Hunter were Dr. Joseph Sitar and Richard Finley, president of the Naugatuck Fish and Game and Middlebury sportsman, respectively.
 Are Connecticut sportsmen get- ting . square deal? Dr. Hunter says yes.
 As far as Lake Quassapaug and a few other fishing wate-s in this vicinity are concerned let's join Dr. Sitar and Richard Finley with Q loud no.
 In comparison to the six other trout ponds in Connecticut, Lake QuasSapaug, it seems. is not get ting its fair share. With . great concentration of trout-fiShermen in this locality, and QuaSsy the nearest lake to resort to, there is little incentive for the angler who takes off after work for . few hours at this Middlebury spot.
 So, if the State doesn't put more trout in this spot, we'll have to get Hemingway's to do 1t.

 This will give the anglers an op- portunity to keep legal bass taken on the weekend fishing trips.
 Numerous questions were receiv- ed as to the opening date for bass fishing at Crystal Pond, Eastford- Woodstock, which opened June 1. The statewide bass season is in effect on this pond. Bass may not be kept legally until June 29. The open season for bass will extend to October 31. The statewide length for bass is 10 inches. .,

Her net, after paying income taxes, will be only ten or twelve percent of her gross. Compared to the $7,5O0 a-week that Tom Mix, for instance, gleaned back in the days before high taxes, Miss Bergman is work ing for chicken feed.
