Due on S1O7 Million
Dispersal Program

The bill for the Governments
SLOT million dispersal program
may come up for Senate action
this week.
Chairman Chavez Of the Senate
Public Works Committee said yes
terday he expects the measure to
be called up Tuesday or Thursday.
He refused to forecast the Senate's
action but said the present meas
ure stands a better chance of pas
sage than the original bill.
Originally the bill provided for
"a program of eight Office build
ings on as many suburban sites at
a cost of $190 million. The pres
ent measure provides for four
buildings and also stipulates for
the removal from Washington to
other cities of agencies and parts
of agencies with $4,000 jobs.
A bill identical with the present
measure before the Senate had
been introduced on the House side.
A House Public Works Subcom-
mittee expects to take up the
measure toward the end Of April
after the st. Lawrence Seaway
proposal, now before the full COM
mittee, is out of the way. \
The original disposal bill before
the House, also identical with the
Senate's original bill, was re-
jected by the House subcommittee.

Then came an hour-long sue

Washington's colorful Scottish
Pipe Band, kilt-clad with bag
pipes skirling in tribute to early
Georgetown settlers; Western High

bearing the Georgetown flag de-
signed especially by Mrs. Frear;
companies of soldiers, sailors,

even more distinction-seven Of
its proud mounties led off the
parade, the first in which they
have participated.
There were also plenty of
civilians. An opep-air Tooner-

tributed floats. Gichner Iron

And so did the participants.
The whole celebration was
planned to accord with an
eighteenth century Georgetown
custom Of fairs twice each year,
in April and October But it
didn't match its forbears' in one
respect.
The Maryland Assembly's old
law calling for the fair provided
freedom from arrest for "all per-
sons within the bounds of the
town during the fairs duration,
except for felony or breach of
the peace" The Seventh Precinct
kept right on making arrests as

The
By Mildred Kirkpatrick

Two widely differing items were brought to my attention this week, with requests to bring them out in this column.
 The first has to do with the con cern expressed by local fishermen at the waste being encountered on nearby streams Hundreds of fish are found floating in Bear Creek and lower Bear Lake, snagged. or thrown back into the water.
 It is said that dolly vardens are no good anyhow. They are wormy this time of year. They prey upon salmon and trout, and so forth; therefore. it makes no difference whether they are wasted or not.
 Persons making these claims are missing the point completely. In the first place it is unlawful to snag fish in streams. Secondly, the per son who is unsporting enough to snag any kind of fish and throw it
Seward seaport record., 1951-06-01

do not snag, or waste any kind of fish.
 Inquiries made Sunday an q Wednesday by local fishermen, who were very angry at finding so many dead. fish, seem to indicate that it is being done by youngsters. Many children are new to this country and are fishing for the first time It is much easier, and great fun to use a snag hook for pulling in dollies.
 If it is the kids snagging and leaving fish to die and pollute the streams, parents should caution them, and teach them the proper and sportsmanlike way to fish. Should it not be the youngsters, it is matter for the game warden, and offend -ys will likely hear from MT. Carson.

.75 cents per mo-; S3 per year.

back into the water, or, failing to bring it ashore causing it to die. is poluting the stream so that other game fish will leave, or die out. Also, the practice is unsportsman- like, and the person who does it with one kind of fish, will, no doubt. make no distinction and kill as many trout or other edible fish in the same way.
 As for "dollies" being inedible, 1 have seen the time, during strikes and food shortages, when the local people would have been glad to eat even dollies.
 The practice seems to be worse tins year than in previous seasons. For that reason it has been Sug- geSted that CTS who are unskilled fishermen are doing it.
 The Recreation Center fishing parties must be completely ab- solved from any blame. Their fish ing parties are always conducted by permanent personnel. who have been thoroughly schooled in the game laws. and the art of game fishing by C. M Carson, Fish & Wildlife enforcement agent here They are absolute Sportsmen. and
