AN0LEs
~ By old Hi

Well, fellow fishermen, last week
we began getting our tackle fixed up
for the new fshin' season. We should
do this carefully, for often it means
the difference between success and
an empty creel.
There are certain small, but essen
tial tasks which shouldn't be neglect
ed. Fer instance, you'll probably do a
lot of trolling for various species of
game fish using spoons, wobblers, and
spinners as lures. Whether these are
trolled near the surface or bottom,
they should be bright and fashy at
all times.
BE sure then, to shine up this hard
ware at the start, and keep a can of
polish and a soft cloth handy in your
kit. Also have spoons in nickel, brass,
copper, chrome-plated, and hammer
er brass in the trays to suit all wea-
Their and water conditions
You may hear arguments that tar
nished lures bring better success, but
generally it's the glinty spoons and
wobblers that attract attention the
quickest and incite the fish into strik-
ing with a wallop.
This is especially true when you're
trolling for king and silver salmon in
Puget Sound and river inlets along
the Pacific Coast. 1t also holds for
taking landlocked salmon and lake
trout in most Eastern waters.
Another job is to see that the points
of your hooks are sharp. Test them
at regular intervals after some usage
for they soon become blunt from
snagging into logs and rocks, and
you'll lose plenty of fish. Tuck a small
carborundum stone in your tackle
kit so as to whet the points when dull
or rusty.
Examine the mesh of your landing
net. The threads may have rotted in
the bottom from fish slime or blood
that was not washed off properly, or
they may have become worn along
the rim. We know of huge fish that
were lost because of nets that were
not repaired.
Perhaps the most vital link, though,
is your line. Make sure it is strong
and unfrayed. A bait casting line
especially gets a rough beating, and
needs to be tested frequently where
attached to lure or leader. If you have
used the casting line for a season, re-
verse it on the reel SO its service will
be prolonged. The same may be done
with your fly or live bait line, for the
end portion always receives some
wear from the rod guides.
With an old toothbrush and soft,
clean, cloth carefully remove dust and
dirt particles from your bait and fly
casting reels, and add a drop or two
of reel oil. Beware of over-oiling,
however, or you'll gum up the
works" for sure!
For a fund of fishing facts, send a
postcard to Old Hi, in care of this
newspaper, requesting a free copy OF
his booklet, Fishing For The Mil

FISHING WATERS PLENTIFUL IN OHIO
BY DIVISION OF WlLDLiFE

amy Ohio fisherman who fails to have himself a whale of a
good time fishing in Ohio this year, had better brush up a bit on
the art of catching fish" That's the word this week from E. L.
Wickliff chief of the division of widlfe fish management section.
Wickliff stated that there are 500 inland lakes in Ohio with
a total water area of something like $4,000 acres. About a humid
red of these lakes are open to liberalized fishing with no closed
seasons, minimum legal lengths or bag limits. In addition, there
are about 10000 miles of streams in the state and seven streams
and their tributaries are also open to Gberalized fishing where an
glers may fish anytime and keep all they catch Fishermen are adj
Vised to consult the 1850 law digest for the list of lakes and
streams, available at license agencies throughout the state.
The state owned and controlled lakes are open to free public
them. Streams, however, belong to the owner of the land through
which the streams flow and therefore it is necessary that fishing
permission be granted. Common courtesy is usually the only re-
qurement necessary in securing permission.
For all waters in the inland fishing district, except those
classified as lberalized, the closed season on black bass is from
May to June Is, both dates included. In the Lake Erie fishing
district comprising the waters of Lake Erie, the closed season is
from May Is to June 80, both dates included.
During the open season on black bass the daily bag limit is
six and the minimum legal length is ten inches.
In all waters, including the lberalized waters, there is no
minimum legal length or closed seasons on rock bass (gogge-eye),
crappie, sunfsh, bluegill, catfish, yellow perch, and white bass
but there is a daily bag limit of 20 a day on each, with a daily
limit of 25 of all species, in all waters except the Eberalized areas,
In the Lake Erie fishing district there is no daily bag limit on
yellow perch, white bass and catfish since these are classified as
commercial species.
In the inland district, only gar carp, catfish, buffaloIish,
sheephead and suckers may be sold. Catfish may be sold in num-
bers not to exceed two days possession limit, 40, at any one time.

Seneca
Lake

BY Hank Stern


With the weather mans curse
extending ove another weekend,
I'm forced to report that the fish
at Seneca Lake still aren't biting.
You might as we'll stay at home
by the fire until the air and
water warm up a few degrees.
Fishing prospects for this ca
son are good, though. Last Sun
day l had a very interesting talk
with Henry Koontz. the tall,
slim 69-year old natural re-
sources board worker who has
taken the creel census at Seneca
Lake in recent years. Henry
spent last week working on the
annual test-netting program. The
test shows an encouraging in
crease in the quantity and size
of the lakes fish population.
Here's the score of a 24-hour
netting period, as reported by
Koontz: 1912 crappies, % shad,
103 channel cats, 4 bullheads, 8
bluegills, 10 carp and 6 quill
backs. That's a total of 1431 fish
in one lift of the net. Most of
the crappies were from nine to
ten and a half inches long, with
several up to Is inches.
All of which proves that there
are plenty Of fish at Seneca Lake.
Whether we're good enough ang-
lers to catch them or not is an
other matter.
Despite the sub-freezing tenn
peratures and snow flurries,
sportsmen from lear and far
showed up at the boat landing on
Easter Sunday, hoping for a
break in the weather. Two or
three carloads of Pennsylvania
fishermen arrived early, as did
people from Parkersburg, Cleve-
land, Cincinnati and Newport,
KY. Most of them waited in the
warmth of the boat concession
for a few hours then drove home
in disgust. Some of the tougher
fisherman staked out their poles
along the shore and huddled be-
side bonfires. They suffered in
vain.
Five teen = age boys from
Athens last week proved - at
least to me-that there's nothing
soft about the younger genera
ton. In the midst of a driving
snoWstorm last Wednesday they
calmly drove to the public camp
ing area, pitched a good-sized
army surplus tent, got their
camp organized, and went fish
ing before dark! The boys braved
the snow, rain, cold weather and
just about everything the ele-
ments could toss at them. Their
only regret was that they didn't
catch any fish. The five were
John Mitchell, Ernest Anderson,
Weese DiCkman,, Jesse Lee and
Paul AIlmark. Apparently upper
turbed by the weather, they
stayed in camp until Saturday
afternoon.
Visitors to the boat landing this
summer will note several innova-
tionS. A new floating boat dock,
patterned after those in use at
the IVA lakes, has been built.
Purpose Of the new unit is to
make it easier for fishermen to
load themselves and their tackle
into the boats. The six rental
cabins across the road from the
boat dock have been equipped
with bottled gas this year. In
cidentally, a few reservations for
the cabins are still available for
midsummer, except for the July
4th holiday.

Fishermen who prefer to catch their own live bait were being
warned this week by Lester c. Bailey, chief of the wildhfe divi-
sion law enforcement section, that bait taking in state-oWned and
state-conrolled lakes is prohibited at all times.
In the inland fishing district SEEMING for minnows is prohibited
from May to June IA, both days included, except in streams, in
which the average width of water at the time seined, does not ex-
coed twelve feet for a distance of so yards above the point seined.
No minnoWs shall be taken o r caught except with a minnoW seine
not exceeding four feet in depth and eight feet in length. No per-
son at any time, in the inland fishing district, shall have in pos
session, either alive or otherwise, more than 100 minnows; licensed
dealers are excepted.

KEEP OHIO GREEN" MOVEMENT LAUNCHED

Ohio last week became the 9th state to adopt a Keep Green
movement, a plan for public education in forest fire prevention.
The movement was launched last week with a meeting at the
Southern Hotel in Columbus attended by some 200 persons from
all parts of the state.
sors of the project with the assistance of the American forest pro-
ducts industries, Inc, was elected temporary chairman of the keep
Ohio Green" program. Governor Frank j. Lausche is the honor
airy chairman. Ford announced that county committees will be
formed to carry the campaign to every community and that a state
committee will be named within a few weeks.
The purpose of the Keep Ohio Green movement" Ford said,
us to bring to the attention of every Ohioan through mass pro-
duction of trees by fire not only deprives the owner of income
and a potential user OF a source OF raw material but also actually
affects the economy OF every person living within the boundaries
of the Buckeye State"
A. w. Marion, director of the department of natural resources
told the group that the Keep Ohio Green" movement is vital not
only to the conservation of trees and forests but to all of our
natural resources including soil, water, minerals and wildife. He
stated that 95 forest fires in Ohio last year destroyed $500 acres
of timber and buned-over 1923 acres of land, killing wildife,
destroying property and setting the stage for soil erosion and
permanent soil damage.
Ohio has 100000 acres of woodland" Marion said, with
only 100000 under intensive fire control"
Forest fires in the United States start on the average of one
every three minutes and altogether they burn enough saW-timber
to build $4,000 modern homes. Each year fires burn enough trees
to furnish paper for the printing of all newspapers in the United
States.
POOR FISHING WEATHER KEEPS sTRlNGERs LIGHT
Crecl- census takers of the wildlife division stationed on a
number of Ohios lakes and streams where restrictions of closed
seasons. bag limits and minimum lengths have been removed, re-
port poor fishing throughout Ohio for the week of April % due
to cold weather.
Reports of the fish management sections census takers show
that Buckeye Lake provided the best fishing with fishermen aver
yellow perch, twenty-three percent bullheadS and eleven percent
rappies.
nine-tenths fish per hour made up of sixty-nlne percent crapples,
twelve percent bluegIls and eleven percent bass. All other lake
reports ranged from one fish per hour for each fisherman down
Ito onetenth fish per hour.
Bait in use generally consisted of mlnnoWs, worms and other
live bait.
this week that fishing generally cannot be expected to improve
until the water warns up considerably. Fishing should be much
better following the first warm rain

World Medical Group
Votes Condemnation
OF Mercy Killings
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Oct. 18.-The
World Medical Association-told
that many a doctor is practicing
euthanasia" - voted yesterday to
condemn the mercy killings.
The VIVA general assembly
adopted a resolution calling
euthanasia contrary to the public
interest and to medical principles
as well as to natural and civil
rights"
The VIVA, composed Of nation
|al medical associations in Al coun-
tries, recommended that the asso-
citation in each country condemn
the practice of euthanasia under
any circumstances"
Debate Is Spirited.
Two doctors said during spirited
debate that many doctors at times
have used drugs to speed the death
of incurable patients in great pain.
They were DR.. S. G. Sen of India
and DR.. E. A. Gregg of Britain.
DR.. Marcel Poumailloux of
France said euthanasia would
"open the door to all possible
crimes and criminal practices" He
added:
II lost my own mother by a
terrible cancer lasting for weeks
and weeks and none of my COL
leagues thought of shortening her
life to alleviate her suffering"
DR.. E. E. Irons, a United States
delegate and past president of the
American Medical Association,
contended euthanasia would "open
the door to great abuse of the
physicians position in the care of
the life of his patient"
Motion to Table Defeated.
A move to table the resolution
without action, led by Drs. Sen
and Gregg, was voted down by the
delegates, Is to II. The resolu-
tion then was passed with no
audible opposition.
Arguing for euthanasia, DR.. Sen
said he personally would want to
have "the liberty" to have his life
ended easily if he had an incur
able disease and was in agony. and
if the practice was legal in his
country.
DR.. Gregg said "a doctors duty
is to save and preserve life, and
to relieve suffering to the very
last" but he contended:
1--WE must also realize as fact
that in his endeavor to relieve his
patients suffering, the doctor has
at times pressed the use of opiates
and drugs so that. if he told the
truth, he would have to admit
that the excessive use of these
drugs had of themselves shortened
the patients life"
