Hunting & Fishing
Review For 1853

The initial surveys on the
stream improvement project on
the Little Miami River in South
western Ohio were completed and
plans made for the Improvement
phases of the project to be under
taken in 1854. Preliminary inves-
legations on the acid mine waste
project in Raccoon Creek in the
southern part of the state were
completed and experimental pro-
jectS undertaken to find ways COM
batting these wastes. A rough fish
removal project was initiated in
Lake St. Marys and a large scale
fish tagging program undertaken
in western Lake Erie, Sandusky
Bay, and the Sandusky River to
throw light on the controversy in
that area on the effect of CONNER
cial fishing operations on sport
fishing.
A great deal of interest was
aroused as a result of the Divis-
ions successful propagation of
Muskellunge at the Kincaid
Springs Fish Farm. Also of con-
siderable interest was the appar-
ent success in quite a number of
bodies of water of earlier stocking
of walleye pike fry obtained from
Lake Erie. The Divisions fishing
waters played prominent role in
relieving a serious water shortage
in two southwestern Ohio villages
(Bethel and Georgetown) and one
in Perry County (Somerset). The
Public Relations Staff produced a
new issue of Fishing in Ohio" and
a publication Don't Cuss Carp"
In addition the Fish Management
Section prepared thirty additional
lake maps to aid those fishermen
who like to have detailed infor-
nation concerning the waters they
fish in.
Initial purchases were made on
the Sinclair, Kildeer Plains and
Jackson County hunting areas and
options and conucil authorization
to acquire was obtained for the In
dian Creek area in Brown County
and for additions to the New Lyme
Area in Ashtabula County for the
Metzger Marsh Area in Lucas
County and additions to the Wood
bury Brush Creek and Morgan
County areas. In addition some g.
900 acres of land were acquired
with deer permit funds to enlarge
and complete state forest holdings
managed for deer production.

The half time score was % to Is,
with London on top. After taking
the lead for the first time in the

Blood Donor
Listings To
Be Colnpiled

Plans under consideration
by the Monroe County Blood
Committee call for the es-
Enlistment of a list of per-
sons willing to donate blood.
The list will be kept where
it will be available at a min
ute's notice. The Committee
plans include arrangements
to call for the donor, take
him to the hospital and take
him home.
Registered nurses in the city
have offered their services to type
the blood of any one who is willing
to be donor.
All the supplies needed for this
program, which will give Key West
a walking blood bank" are on
order and viii arrive shortly.
Office To Be Set up
AS soon as the necessary equip
ment arrives, an office will be set
up in downtown Key West so that
prospective donors can come in
and have their blood typed at no
inconvenience to themselves.
This plan has worked well in
other cities, and in case of disas-
ter - such as severe hurricane -
it will be invaluable.
The blood committee, headed by
Bob Daniels, hopes to have al
least 1000 donors on the list.

blood typed does not necessarily
mean that you will be called on

Dulles Talks
Chang On
Formosa Today
Nationalist Forces
Continue To Pound
Red China Coast
BY SPENCER MoosA

TAIPEH, Formosa H-Nation-
alist warships and planes pounded
the Red China coast again today,
even as us. Secretary of State
John Foster Dulles pledged that
Nationalist China doesn't stand
alone against the forces of aggres-
sion -
Dulles flew here from the South
east Asia security conference in
Manila and spent 3 hours and Is
minutes closeted with President
Chang Kai-shek.
A high Nationalist official said
"they exchanged views on ques-
tons affecting the two countries.
The result was satisfactory to
both" us. Ambassador Carl Ran
kin described the talk as very cor
dial and longer than expected.
Only five hours after Dulles
special plane landed here be and
his party were airborne again,
headed for Tokyo.
Dulles Statement
In a statement read to newsmen
at the airport, he reiterated that
the US. 7th Fleet is under orders
to guard Formosa.
He said Communist China now
is intensifying military and propa-
ganda activity against the Nation
alsts "but we shall not be intimi-
dated"
This statement was viewed here
as a direct and challenging reply
to Communists treats to 'tliber-
ate" Formosa and as an endorse
ment of Nationalist attacks on
Annoy and satellite bases from
which the Reds have shelled the
Nationalist island base of Quemoy.
Annoy is only five miles from
Quemoy, just off the China coast
l20 miles west Of Eormosa.
Military Action
A Defense Ministry communique
issued as Dulles and Chang were
talking said Nationalist warplanes
bombed and strafed military tar
gets at Annoy and along the coast.
At the same time, the commu-
nique said, Nationalist warships
bombarded Annoy and nearby
Wuyu Island and patrolled waters
off Quemoy and Annoy.
The ministry said Yesterdays
operations, in which U.S.-supplied
FS4 Thunderjets took part for the
first time, destroyed two Red gun
boats and over 100 wooden military
boats and damaged other craft.
Nationalist warships were credit
ed with sinking 6 motorized junks,
damaging 20 others and capturing
8 in waters between Wuyu Island
and Cape Chenhai on the main
land, another starget for National
list bombardment.

reasons producers place so much
emphasis on improving the quail
ity of their goods rather than
reducing the price.
Another factor is in evidence
which shows that competition
is not dying is the amount of
money spent on technical re-
search to improve products. The
fact that some enterprises are

it's rivals in business must do
