among the fish clans. But il
did not and, with the water being
SO cold everywhere, not much
was caught. There was a fail
throng at Aliens Fresh for Boz
Wilson Day. but we understand
only four yellow perch were
caught, which is small activity ir
that direction. Bass in the ponds
were not too cooperative either
nor were the bluegills. Free

a tremendous hatch of mayflies

them on anything else. All that

with relatively warm nights
coupled with a nice warm rain.
For many years now. hunters
with firearms have been warned
against the improper use and
danger of their weapons. A

the growing numbers of hunters
in proper gun handling so that
hunting accidents may be fewer

Archery Association of the
United States are carrying on
similar educational programs
with respect to the bow and ar

popular weapon in a few years
Many regional and State archery
associations are doing likewise.
