GET Is TONS OF
FISH FROMLA
To Eliminate Undesirable Fish
From Lake Como and Re-
stock With Others
TO REPAIR WHARF

Over fifteen tons of fish, about
ninety per cent carp, were taken
out of Lake Como last week after
draining in preparation for re-
stocking and repair of the recrea-
tional wharf. This joint program
of the State Board of Game and
Fish Commissioners and the Town
of Smyrna was undertaken to rid
the lake of undesirable fish so that
it may be restocked with bass and
bluegills. Lake Como will be the
first lake or pond in the state to
be stocked with fish, according to
a balanced plan designed for the
benefit of the angler. According to
Norman G. Wilder, director of con-
servation for the board, "a lake is
like a pasture and will support just
so much fish" and following the
analogy still further he stated that
this is a wedding operation" All
desirable game fish were salvaged
by the commission and they are be-
ing held in a special pond near
Dover. This work is in charge of
Jay Harmick, biologist for the
Board of Game and Fish Commits
sioners. Bass. crappies, and blue
gills are being saved. The undesir-
able fish, from the point of view OF
sportsmen, were salvaged during
the operation of hauling by Harry
Heideck and crew of professional
fishermen, who had a permit from
the Town of Smyrna to take the
carp. The experts explain that the
carp keep the lake muddy, which
blocks out the sunlight so that
plants cannot get required oxygen
and millions of fish will never grow
UP due to lack of food. Following
this operation good sport for fish
e1nen will be assured next year
and for a number of years to come,
according to Mr.. Wilder. Scientific
tests will be made from the study
of the scales of the fish taken un-
der a microscope, which will de-
termine the growth rate, and give
basis for comparison of age tc
size. -'}

RADIO ON MEMORIAL BRIDGE
Officials To Keep In Touch With
Operations Through Radio

Operations Through Radio
Constant contact with operations
on the Delaware Memorial Bridge
may now be kept by officials thru
the media of short-wave radio, G.
Lester Daniels, manager, has an
nounced. Three short wave radio
sets have been installed SO that
police cars, trucks, snow ploughs
and other equipment may be given
directions from the toll sergeant's
office. Mr.. Daniels can keep in con-
slant touch with State Police any
where in Delaware with the short
wave set installed in his personal
automobile and can summon them
for any emergency at a moments
notice. He pointed out that due to
the distances involved in reaching
workers on the bridge, the oft-time
heavy traffic conditions, the new
short wave communication system
will prove both saver of time and
money. In case Of accident or emer-
gency even lives may be saved be-
cause of the quick manner in which
messages will be able to get
through. When the new bridge
police are appointed, two cars win
be assigned to them also equipped
with communication systems, Dan
iels said.
