entire operation was shifted
from the news department to
entertainment and Paar, a
Hollywood product, ambled in.
Now 1t appears that a further
change is contemplated. The
comedian huff1ly asked to be re-
leased, because he'd learned that
the network wanted a children's
show.
"I'ue altDays felt my type of
comedy appealed primarily to
adults" Padr said. II think
it tDould be mistake to try to
adapt my style to a program
aimed at children"
Paar's show, by the way,
crossed over 81 million in the
nine months he was on It. If
that was enough-there'd have
been no change. Obviously it
wasn't.

WHITE PERCH
(MOrOfle u11le31cdHd)

RANGE: Found mostly in tidal
region of the Atlantic coast from
Canada to South Carolina, also in
freshwater ponds, particularly in
New England where they grow
to large size; abundant in Upper
Chesapeake Bay, Susquehanna
River and other Bay tributaries !;
most common where the water is
brackish.
DESCRIPTION: Sides are silver,
getting greener towards the back;
large specimens from Upper Ches-
apeake sometimes are almost black
along back; sometimes reaches a
length of Is inches, but the average
Is around or 9 inches; very
similar in looks to the white and
yellow basses and closely related
to them and also the striped bass;
has smaller mouth than any of
these species.
BREEDING: Usually in region of
Maryland the spawning period is
from about April to June; the
height of spawning period is prob
ably last of April and first part of
May; they will spawn in brackish
and even salt water, but many
migrate into shallow fresh water
to spawn. Eggs in stickey masses
are more or less scattered on bot

tom and receive no parental atten-
ton; hatch at a temperature of
about 60 degrees f. in two or three
days; takes longer in colder water.
HABITS: A school fish, equally at
home in fresh or salt water; prefer
brackish waters; found in deep
holes in Chesapeake Bay through
out a good part of year; around
bars and shoals in spring, summer
and fall. Feeds on crustaceans,
aquatic insects, fish eggs, blood
worms, and most any other marine
life. Green shrimp a popular bait
with the angler.
MANAGEMENT: Can be afforded
legal protection through restric-
lions on commercial netting, daily
and size limits; however it could
become too plentiful resulting in a
shortage of food in some waters,
and stunted fish; at present it is
very plentiful in Chesapeake Bay
waters and probably needs no pro-
lection further than it is now
receiving.
VALUE: A fine food fish and of
great commercial value in Mary
land; it also provides good sport
to many hook and line fishermen,
who also harvest a large supply of
excellent sea food.

Five Year Program
Given for Schools

The fiVe-year program for Mary
land Schools was fully outlined
last Thursday evening at a meet
ing Of the County Council of Par
ents and Teachers, held at the
Southern High school.
Melvin c. Cole, president Of the
Maryland State Teachers associa-
ton was the speaker. a film show
ing the shortage Of teachers and
the need for classrooms entitled
The Busiest Place in Town" was
presented
Mr. Cole went into detail in ex-
planning the five-year plan, declar-
ing that the soaring school enroll
ments had posed a pressing chal-
lenge He gave figures which
showed that compared to 1945 when
273656 children were enrolled in
grades l to II in Maryland, that in
1854 there were 435 .9O7. and that
in 1860 the figure would reach 562.-
900.
Maryland's schools were depicted
as already overcrowded and that
the teacher shortage threatened to
become more severe. The need of
an average of 5000 new teachers
each year was pointed out.
Mr. Cole also showed that at
least 5000 new classrooms would
be needed by 1860 and this figure
is recommended as a part of the
five-year program Other recon-
mendations include increased aid
for teachers colleges. improved re-
tirement benefits for teachers, a
new state minimum salary scale
