Leland Garmatter
Inducted By Army

Leland r. Garmatter, son of Mr..
and Mrs. Gideon Garmatter of Bluff
ton, was one of 26 Allen county
youths who left Thursday morning
of last week for Toledo to be in
Quoted into the service.
The Bluffton youth, former foot
ball and basketball player in high
school, was graduated with the class
of 1851 and attended Bluffton college
for time. He was employed by the
Pandora Milling company prior to
entering the service.
Garmatter's contingent, answering
the county's April draft quota, was
the largest group thus far in 1858,
and one of the largest sent to the
armed forces from this area since
hostilities began in Korea.
Although thus far, it has not been
necessary to draft nineteen--year-old
men, Mrs. Donna Ohler, clerk of the
Allen county selective service board
said recently that it will probably be
necessary to dip into this age group
to fill the May or June quota.
Mrs. Ohler reported the Allen
board has only SO registrants who
will be 20 years old or older by July
1. How soon local 19-year-olds must
be taken will depend on the size of
the Allen county quotas for May and
June.

degree of accuracy.
Lee S. Roach, assistant chief of the
Wildlife Division for the state, ques-
toned whether banning commercial
fishing in the bay would result in bet
ter conditions for hook and line
anglers. He pointed out that although
commercial men took 2,136,000 pounds
of fish from the bay in 1862, this
represented only go pounds of fish per
acre whereas the lake should provide
natural habitat for from 300 to 600
pounds of fish per acre. Even Riley
creek, he said, supports a fish popu-
lation of 200 pounds per acre of
water.
Roach declared the Sandusky Bay
waters to afford the finest hook and
line fishing in the state today. Earlier

Fremont, members of the United
Conservation Club of Northern Ohio,
explained their move to completely
ban commercial fishing in the bay had
been the outgrowth of inability of
game law enforcement officers to
control commercial fishermen under
the present law.
William r. Farley, law enforcement
supervisor of the Lake Erie district,
however, pointed out that the propos-
ed bill which sets up an area restrict
ed to commercial fishing within five
mile radius of the bay entrance, would
be even more difficult to enforce. He
