'UncIe Rays Corner
BY Romon Coffmon

during the age when men used
stone tools.
There were fish in the water
long before there were men on
earth. This is proved by remains
of prehistoric fish in layers of rock.
Some of those ancient fish left
imprints of their bodies in mud.
The mud hardened, and in time it
became the rock which we know as
shale.
Fish breathe with gills. These
take oxygen from the water, in
much the same way as our lungs
take oxygen from air.
Many fish have "air bladders,
with air, or gas of some other kind,
inside. Some of the sacs are con-
nected to the throat or gullet by
a thin tube. Others are separated
from the throat.
What good does such an air sac
do for q fish? The chief good seems
to be to help the fish go safely from
one level of the water to another.
Ocean fish have a special need
for that. There Is much greater
pressure on a fish at a depth OF
quarter of mile than near the
surface. Thanks to the air bladder,
and to changes of pressure IN the
air, or gas, inside it, the fish can
make slow trips up or down In the
ocean, without harm to itself. Cases
are on record in which fish have
been brought up too fast In nets
and have burst when they reached
the surface.
A few kinds of fish have devel-
oped lungs to take the place OF
their air sacs. The African lung
fish is an example Of such fish.

Near my studio is a lake, and
during the past winter I saw hun
dreds of men (and few boys, go
out on the ice for special purpose.
Their purpose was to fish.
How many thousands Of fish were
caught during the winter one could
only guess. 1 talked with some OF
the fishermen. and looked at some
of the fine perch which they had
brought up through holes in the
ice. 1t was very cold work on GER
tain days, but they must have felt
it to be worthwhile. Some of them
spent hundreds of hours fishing
through the ice with drop lines
during December, January and
February.
Fish have been important to peo-
pie since the Stone Age. We know
that because of remains which were
left where people lived near water

Action on the dock project
for st. Croix may get under
way soon. It. has been recon-
mended by the Army Engineer
ing department and copies of
the letter to the Army in book
let form have been circulted.
The recommendation would
provide for an approach chan
mel 25 feet deep at mean low
water and 300 feet wide from
deep water in the Caribbean
sea to a turning basin of the
same depth, about 800 feet
wide and 900 feet long. The
first cost is estimated at $261,
600 with an annual $1,000
maintenance.
This Information was made

former members of Council
who have been fighting to see
the ,-consummation of such a
project for approximately 80
years.

SENATORS HOLD
MEETING: ATTEMPT
TO COMPRO

Senator'S representing three
factions held a compromise
meeting in an effort to end the
fourteen-day-old filibuSter, but
failed to reach any agreement.
One group represented the
southerners; another the Re
publicans, who hold the ba-
lance Of power, and the Admin
istration forces led by Senator
Scott Lucas.
The filibuster was started
by the southerners to prevent
action which would curb un-
limited debate on the floor of
the Senate on a measure that
a minority did not want, and
is looked upon as their chief
weapon, having in mind Presi-
dent Truman's civil rights pro-
gram.
With the aid of Republicans,
the southerners practically de-
feated a ruling by Senator
Barley against the southern
ers. Senator Scott Lucas, lead
er of the Administration forces
said last night that no under-
standing had been reached.
The entire Democratic pro-
gram has been delayed.
