NEW LAKE FOR OHIO'S
ISAAC WALTON GROUP

COLUMBUS, OHIO-Ohio fish
ermen will have a new lake in
which to fish during the 1855 sea-
son, according to an announcement
by William E. Owens, Chief En-
gineer in the Ohio Division of
Wildlife.
Hooking Lake, located one mile
west of Logan, will have approx
mately 400 acres of water and, ac-
cording to fisheries personnel,
should be a good fishing lake.
Work on the lake site is about
80 per cent completed at the
present time and the valve will be
closed about February l. Late win
ter and early spring rains will fill
the lake SO it will be available for
fishermen in the spring of 1855.
Fish to be stocked in the lake
include largemouth bass, redear
sunfish, white crappie and channel
catfish.
According to plans of the Divis-
ion of Wildlife, muskie production
in Ohio will be increased during
the next few years to provide
fishermen with an additional game
fish and also with the hope the
muskies will take a liking to the
over-abundance of small panfish,
found in many Ohio lakes.
In 1853 and 1854, muskies were
stocked in the following lakes:
Jaskson, Knox, Rocky Fork, White,
Veto, Forked Run, Leesville and
Piedmont. In addition, muskies
were stocked in Sunfish Creek,
Shade River, Scioto Brusk Creek
and the Middle Branch of Salt
Creek.
Muskies are the most voracious
of all fresh water fish which ac-
counts for their phenomenal
growth, when stocked in suitable
waters and particularly new i'm
poundments. Muskie fingerlings
and fry, stocked in Rocky Fork
Lake in 1858 did particularly well.
Test nets in Rocky Fork showed
some of the muskies had reached
the prodigious size of % inches
IN one year. Fishermen hope the
muskies will take liking to their
new homes but only time will tell
II they are to become permanent
inhabitants.

The cafeteria was the scene of
the festivities on Monday evening
when the Tri-L girls held their an
nual Big-little Sister party there.
After enjoying a delicious pot-luck
supper, the girls joined together to
sing Christmas carols and play
games. On Tuesday the cafeteria
was again decked out, this time for
the annual football banquet spon-
sored by the London Athletic
Council. The Tri-L girls served
swiss steak dinner, which had been
prepared by Mrs. Woosley and her
staff, to the guests and friends
who were present. Afterwards, a.
wards were presented to the MEM
bers of the 1854 football squad. ES-
ko Sarkinnen, end coach at Ohio
State, was the guest speaker for
the evening. He told of some of his
experiences as player and then
showed pictures taken from the
Ohio Michigan game, which made
Ohio eligible for the Rose Bowl.
Thursday afternoon the students
gathered in the old auditorium for
rousing pep meeting. After tell
ing several more tales about his
talking dog "Fifi," Mr.. Won Kanel
gave a more serious and interest
ing talk on the purpose of the Mid
Six. This was fitting subject, as
on Friday night our boys played
against Grove City-their first
Mid-Six game of the season. The
team played its best, but the luck
remained with Grove City. The

Grove City took the lead in the

threat coming in the third quarter
when London made an all-out eff
fort and closed the score to with

SHOULD WIVES COOK BREAKFAST?

wife's job to see that he faces
each day at maximum efficiency.
She can do this by giving him
a proper send-off each morning
in the form of a good, balanced
breakfast"
But said DR.. Van Bark: why
should a man turn over the re-
sponsibility for his health to his
wife,"
The Working Wife
MANY authorities agreed that
the working wife can be excused
from the breakfast task. Profess
sor Lee E. Deets, who teaches a
course on marriage at Hunter
College, sounded the keynote:
''In such homes a man has
no more right to expect his
wife to make breakfast for
him than she has to expect
him to make it for her."
But they didn't see eye to eye
at all about the stay-at-home
wife.
Said John J. Anthony, director
of the Marital Relations Insti-
tute and a radio marriage coun-
selor for the past "a years: "A
mother wouldn't think of send
ing her children off to school
without breakfast. Why be neg
ligent about her husband?"
Retorted a housewife at Grand
Central Terminal: 1--WE got two
active children, aged two and
five, who keep me hopping all
day long. They don't start stir
ring until seven-thirty. My hus-
band gets up at six-forty-
five. That's my problem. Mr..
Anthony, and Ill settle it my
own way, by sleeping that extra
time and getting strength for the
big day ahead"
NGosning Gxouch
ONE sociologist assailed nom
rising wives as "pampered fe-
males who look on marriage as a
meal ticket" And a Westches-

job. We had more arguments

the past dozen. I was afraid my

marriage was going on the rocks,
but now everything's fine. Tell
that to the expert!'
Eloise McElhone, one of tele-
visions most acid-tongued man
baiters, who appears on the panel
show, Leave 1t To The Girls,
backed the males for a change
on this subject.
IF the wife does not work out
side the home" she told us, "she
should make an effort to get her
husband off to bring home the
bacon by serving him some be-
fore he leaves"
We passed this point of view
along to a recent bride, who re-
piled tartly: LET Eloise make
the effort. My husband gets up
at five am"
A concise summary came from
DR.. Eleanor Crissey, New York
psychoanalyst and a lecturer
at the American Institute for
Psychoanalysis. Its intelligent
for a woman to bypass break
fast-making," she said, IF (a)
she has a job or children, (b) he
goes to work at an extremely
early hour, (c) he eats lightly and
(d) he is willing. But if she just
wants to lie lazily in bed, she's
self-centered."
Wistful Husbands
WHAT do husbands think? Many
were willing to argue for their
breakfasts - with us but most
admitted they went along pas
sively with their wives feelings
about the matter.
One phrase kept recurring in
our talks with men; we report it
without comment: "My mother
used to make breakfast for
my father" they would say
wistfully, "but my wife
doesn't make it for me"
That's the story and the only
conclusion we can pass along is
simply this: decide for yourself.
There is no unanimity about the
issue among the experts, among
husbands and wives and not even
in the writing team that con-
Quoted this survey.
