Value Of Fishery Plan
Held Undetermined
BY theAssoeiofed Press

BOSTON, Feb. 13.-David H
Wallace, executive secretary of the
Maryland Tidewater Fisheries Com
mission, said today the States fish
cry management plan has been
operating too short time to assess
its value.
Addressing the North e tern
Gene Conference, sponsored by the
Massachusetts Fish and Game
Commission, Mr.. Wallace explained
the operation of the plan. Under
the plan started in 1942, the num-
ber of commercial fishermen was
fixed in order to limit the rate OF
catches.
He reported shad production ha6
increased in Maryland waters a1lc
more than doubled in the entire
Chesapeake Bay after the manage
ment plan was started. Reduced
fishing also had most important
effect on striped bass fishing" he
said.
"It is realized. of course, by both
the fishermen and the commission
that our fisheries are a long way
from producing the abundance ot
former years. 1t is felt, however
that the management plan has
demonstrated already its utility ir
helping in the restoration of oul
fisheries to their former abun.

Psychologist Tells Junior Board
How to Sharpen Memory

The 49th card in a shuffled deck
or the 23d page of a magazine can
be memorized easily if you observe
closely and then associate what you
see with something you already
know.
This was amply demonstrated yes
terday by DR.. Bruno Furst, memory
expert, at a Junior Board of Com
merce luncheon in the Burlington
Hotel. Formerly a German lawyer
and psychology professor in Prague,
Czechoslovakia, DR.. Furst came to
this country in 1888 and founded
his School of Memory and Concen-
tration in New York. He has writ
ten several books on the subject.
"See how simple it is" DR.. Furst
said as he told the suit, number and
position of several cards in a shut
fed deck he had quickly scanned.
He asked the board members to
try it. One said, THE queen of

And so it went, as DR.. Furst iden-
tilted magazine pages and numbers
as well. He even did card trick
by means of a code he and his as
sistant, Lawrence Scheewe, director
of the schools Washington branch,
use to help their memorizing.
Memory, DR.. Furst declared, can
be trained and improved, adding
that as child his own memory was
very poor. The reason for poor
memory, ,he said, is failure to OBJ
serve closely and to associate what
is observed with something familiar
or already well known. He said
people seldom use their powers OF
observation and association, and
that it is partly the fault of the
schools that they don't.
DR.. Furst comedies a memory like
his would be extremely helpful to
card players and gamblers.

Farmers Will Organize to Protect
Selves Against Trespassing Hunters

hunters invade the rural areas
by the hundred. Most of them are
considerate of the farmers, and
cooperate in every way to pro-
tect fences and livestock.
But many of the city guys
enter farms without permission,
cut fences instead of going
through gates, shoot at livestock
and everything else they can see,
and then swear at the farmers
who attempt to protest such con-
duct.
"All of us have suffered con-
siderable loss at the hands Of
such vandals," Mr.. Bellville
added. I'VE cannot afford it any
more than the city man can
afford to have his property
damaged, and we have to take
whatever steps may be necessary
to stop it,"
Game seems to be more plenti-
full this season than it has for the
past few years, Mr.. Bellville said.
AS a result, he anticipates a
greater influx of hunters than
there has been since the war and
the consequent increase in tres
passing and destruction.
In the near future, township
representatives will be set up,
who will take memberships in the
Association. Farmers desirous of
this protection may also sign up
with Mr.. Bellville or in The
Journal office.
