The Rev. WerfeImonn
Addresses Libby's
Junior High Grods

The biggest task ever given to
any person is the privilege and re-

OF what avail or benefit are read
ing, writing and arithmetic, if they
have not helped you to find the
meaning of life and to prepare for
it," These are the words of Rev
Arthur o. Werfelmann of st. Johns
Lutheran Church when he spoke to
the Junior High graduating class
Tuesday evening.
Miss Inez Ratekin played Aida"

sented by George Bowring, violin

In closing his address Rev. Wer-

L reads: I have crossed the plains,

Alvord Lake, zimmerman requests
the Western News to mention the
lake originally was much smaller
than now. He states it supported
but few fish there being little ma
tural food and inadequate spawn
ing grounds. A dam was put in
during 1881 and raised in 1886
which doubled the lakes waters and
provided good fish habitat. For
many years previous some coopera-
tive operations had been conducted
by the state and property owners.
On completion of the dam, eastern
brook spawn was taken by the
state in cooperation with the pro-
perty owner, and pond licenses were
issued specifically covering Alvord
Lake in Sec. &c. Twp 80 NJ, r.
34W.
zimmerman states the income dur
ing '47-'48 was so small it became
necessary to operate the lake in
and he so advised the
OLdtCs w OAAElGN " III illoAA 81 GEil
eggs to the Libby Hatchery and or
eyed eggs, to be shipped as directed
at prices well below the market,
he states.
Following correspondence with
State Fish g. Game Warden o.
Claire. zimmerman received the fol-
lowing telegram from O'Claire:

trolled by you will be open to fish
ing for the public May o. Would
suggest you post your property a

The owner adds "Of course we
consider that our license gives US
exclusive rights to Alvord Lake !
