Dear Santa;
Our mother is writing this
letter for us. We are twin girls,
four years old. We have a BROTH
er, six years old and two sisters.
One will soon be three and our
baby sister is one year old.
Santa, we would like for you
to bring our brother service
station, and our little sisters,
dolls and other toys little girls
like to play with.
We would like dolls, bunk
beds, doll-e-bath and clothes
for our dolls. We are good girls
and help mother wash the dishes,
clean the house and take care of
our baby sister.
We would like for all the little
girls and boys to be as happy
as we are and have a Merry
Christmas and Happy New Year.

! tain the temperature.
If power is expected to be off
for "a hours or longer, find out
about temporary storage for the
food. Your local locker plant
operator may be able to help
you. If he has no storage space
available, inquire about dry ice.
A small amount placed in the
freezer will help to maintain
temperature.
Don't take chances on food
spelling. Some units will main
tain a safe temperature for not
more than Cor hours with the
power off. Check your freezer to
determine if possible, how long
it will maintain temperature.
Remember, too, that food will
stay frozen longer in full box
than in one only partly filled.

prises can be reduced or even

Although income tax is of
indirect significance as far as
farm loans are concerned" Hum
mel says rising taxes make a
good farm record almost neces-
sity.
Some farmers, who use credit
regularly in their business, find
their records helpful in provid-
ing their loan officers with
financial statements. Hummel
says the financial statement
keeps the loan officer advised
as to progress being made" and
makes the handling of credit
requirements" an easier task.
County agricultural agents
can provide copies of the Ohio
Farm Account Book. Hummel
says most county banks distri-
butte the farm records, too.

the Exploration of the Sea has
been busy with these problems
for almost so years. Another i'm
portant problem is that of over
fishing in certain areas. AS mod
ern fishing methods improve, we
discover that the seas are not in
exhaustible. This international
group plans to publish a Herring
Atlas" in English, French and
Danish, for fishermen in the
northeast Atlantic. The book will
consist of twelve charts, giving
the location of herring shoals and
the quality of the fish each month
of the year.
Fishing, on the scale at which it
is carried on today, must be a
matter of international concern.
In this connection, the United Ma
tions, through its Food and Agri-
culture Organization GAO, has
taken measures to obtain ade-
uuate information about sea and
fresh water fisheries in order to
secure a maximum continuous

water IlSn TO warm waters. Ihelr
food needs also differ. Some fish,
like the cod, must live where they
can find shell-fish to eat. Others,
like the herring, feed on a small
floating shrimp : like organisms
called plankton, and still others
eat the plants on the sea-bottom.
When sea conditions change with
the seasons, the fish move too, fol-
lowing the water best adapted to
their needs.
The migration habits of fish are
even more complex than those of
birds. But only with knowledge
of fish migrations can fishermen
get best results from their work.
This means not simply the most
fish but the best kind.
Scientists use different methods
to study these migrations, which
are usually connected with spawn
ing or the search for food. In the
spring, mackerel appear off the
Scandinavian coasts from the
cold, deeper waters of the North
Sea, and along the east coast of
the United States. Herring appear
in shallow coastal waters in the
spring, but where they spend the
winter is still a mystery.
Examination of the food in a
fish's stomach may help a scientist
to tell what part of the sea the
fish has come from. Sea currents
have been studied, for they carry
very young fish and many fish
foods. The warm Gulf Stream, for
example, allows many tropical
fish to migrate north to United
States waters.
The water of the sea moves on
different planes, in different di-
rections, and determines the dis
tribution of many fish, especially
when they are in the egg stage.
Even. the wind must be studied,
for while it moves the surface of
the water in one direction, an un-
dercurrent develops which may
carry the fish young and eggs in
the opposite direction, scientists
report.
The International Council for

Lake Success, N.Y.-Have
you ever seen a fish carrying
a flag? If you catch one, you
will be entitled to a small re
ward.
This may sound live a joke, but
it is not. It is an essential part of
a project being undertaken by the
international Council for the Ex-
ploration of the Sea.
If you catch such a fish, it will
be a herring. The flag, plastic COW
cred, will be attached to the dor
sal fin along its back. This fish
story in reality is part of an at
tempt to solve one of the oceans
oldest mysteries-the migration
of the herring. The flag-carrying
fish have been tagged and put
into the water, and when they are
caught sometimes hundreds of
miles away, their journey may be
traced in relation to the season,
the distance and direction of their
travel, and the fishes habits Of
feeding and spawning.
With little knowledge on the
subject, we might be inclined to
reason as u grandfathers did:
since three-quarters of the earth's
surface is water, there should be
enough fish in the lea to feed us
forever. AS a matter of fact, less
than 10 per cent of the oceans
provide the fish that we are used
to seeing on the table, aside from
the fresh-water fish of inland
streams and rivers.
This sea-water, seldom more
than 900 feet deep, lies above the
submerged land around a CONT
nent - above the Continental
shelf" Fish are absolutely de-
pendent upon the food initially
generated in the light zone of the
ocean, and temperature and chem
ical makeup of the water in which
they live. All of these things vary
greatly, and there are different
kinds Of fish for almost every type
of water. Natural barriers sepa-
rate them. Fresh water fish rarely
migrate to salt water, nor cold

"The Central factor in the cleo
