Four score and years ago our fathers brought
forth on this continent a nation conceived in IL
berty and dedicated the proposition that all men
are created equal.
Now we are engaged in great civil war, testing
whether that nation, any nation SO conceived and
SO dedicated, can long endure. We met great
battlefield of that war We have come to dedicate
portion of that field as final resting place for those
who here gave their lives that that nation might live
1t altogether fitting and proper that we should do
this.
But, in larger sense, we cannot dedicate y

wer to add or detract The world will little note nor
long remember what we say here, but it can never
forget what they did here 1t is for U.s. the living

which they who fought here have thus far so nobly
advanced 1t rather for us to be here dedicated
the great task remaining before that from these
honored dead we take increased devotion to that
cause for which they gave the last full measure of de-

Judge Bell, London Jurist, Advocates
Uniform Fishing Laws In Article For
National Magazine ''The Fisherman

James F. Bell. one of London's
best known native sons and an
Associate Justice of the Ohio Su-
preme Court, is the author of a
feature article in the forthcoming
issue of THE FISHERMAN, a nat
ionally distributed sports maga-
zine.
Judge Bell, an ardent fisherman
and sportsman, wrote the article
in the interest of anglers and
sportsmen everywhere inasmuch
as the subject deals with the pos
sibility of uniform reciprocal
agreement between the 48 states
in the issuance of fishing permits.
In the article Judge Bell suggests
that fishing and hunting permits
issued in one state be honored in
all other states without additional
fees being charged.
It was during a 7,500-mile trip
last summer that Judge Bell came
up with the idea of reciprocal IL
censing inasmuch as he kept track
of the costs of purchasing licenses
in the states he and his family
passed through. According to the
article. to have purchased a license
in each of the Is states would have
cost a. minimum of $39.70 for tenn
porary license for a single indiyi-
dual. The cost of annual nonres-
ident licenses would have cost a
whopping S118. In comparison, if
auto license tags had been pur-
chased in each state, the total
would have come to but S195.
Judge Bell points out that his
Ohio auto license of S11 plus the
SIPS drivers license allows him to
