it chirps, plus 40, will give the
temperature with one degree.

Dear Sir:
Today a young friend of mine
complained that he recently ap-
piled through the State High
way Patrols Hickory Office for
a job on the Force; when he
later asked about the status of
his application, he was told that
his parents registration was be-
ing investigated to be sure that
it was Democrat"
This brings up questions.
How many jobs in our State
Government go untitled or in
adequately filled because of this
ancestor restriction?
How much do these imperti-
nent investigations cost?
Is the excessively expensive
Operation Impact, sponsored by
His EXcellency, The Governor
of the State of North Carolina,
Terry Sanford, necessary or just
another means of buying votes
with our tax money?
Was it not Governor Huey
Long of Louisiana who estab-
lished his Empire based on ex-
cessive construction, still un-
paid for, with enforcement of
his dictates by a large, loyal,
police force?
Yours truly,

Mariners should keep in mind
that at short range in clear

flashes, the navigator should
make allowance for the inferior

there is a haze or overcast, a

u. S. Seeking
Alternative
To Boot Tax
~ the Associated Pres

Government sources report
the administration Is looking
into the possibility Of some al
ternative for q tax on recre-
alton boats to finance q land
conservation fund.
The fund would be used to
buy additional outdoor recre-
alton lands.
. The original boat-tax pro-
posal was described as having
stirred up so much opposition
IN Congress that attention Is
being given to possible alter
natives. Meanwhile there has
been no formal abandonment
of the boat tax idea.
Secretary Of the interior
Udall was reported to have
given an indication along this
line recently to representatives
of the recreation boat industry.
However. the Secretary sent
word to q reporter yesterday
The had no comment when
asked whether there had been
q change Of his position.
The boat tax was proposed
IN President Kennedy's special
message on conservation. Leg
islation for this has been In
troduced in Congress, but nc
hearings have been held.

Walleyed pike also would
be an uncommon prize for this

fish has been taken from the
Potomac near Difficult Run

s-YEAR EXPERIMENT
, Try Hatchery for Dream Fishing
EXPERIMENT
By CHARLES COvELL
Outdoor Editor

LAse back and dream Of q
perfect place to fish and where
would 1t be? A fish hatchery.
match.
That's what II eager anglers
decided the other day when
they visited the Front Royal
Hatchery near Waterlick. Va,
for the seasons first eight
hours of public fishing.
Although the turnout hardly
matched the $40 whose cars
overflowed the little parking
lot in all directions on open
ing day last year, still it did
some minor devastation to the
bluegill and largemouth bass
population.
The fishermen we're Of all
ages and degrees of expertness
from toddlers barely able to
dangle q worm to oldsters with
fancy tackle. The youngsters
came with their parents who
sat with them on the banks or
unfolded lawn chairs to fish
In comfort along the neatly
clipped pond edges.
Matrons Catch Bluegills
Among the early arrivals
were two middle-aged matronS
who quickly proved they knew
how to catch bluegills. Both
had sizable strings in no time
Elat. On another pond spinning
enthusiasts patiently tossed
plastic eels or plugs in hopes
Of catching bass
All this sounds like fun and
twas. But it has serious side.
Opening Of the hitherto san
rroSanct spawning ponds to
public fishing is part Of a
three-year experiment being
conducted by the State Com
mission of Game and Inland
Fisheries with Dingell-Johnson
Federal aid funds.
In charge is Jack Sheridan,
district fisheries biologist, from
Culpeper, who is being aided
by William c. Hawley, hatch
cry manager.
Basically, the idea is to eval-
uate the effects Of fishing on
the known fish populations so
the knowledge can be used
TO better manage fisheries
throughout the State.
I'VE know they can't fish out
the ponds" Sheridan says, but
there are questions we want
answered. One Of these is a
size limit on bass. There is none |
now and the study may deter
mine whether legislation should
be enacted establishing one"
Here's how it works. Before
the experiment began last July
10, the ponds we're stocked with
bass and bluegills. The fish
we're carefully counted as they
were put in, there being, for
example. exactly 462 bass.
294 Bass Caught
Four Of the ponds we're then
opened to public fishing with |
no restrictions on size Of the
fish taken. On four others,
however, there was a 14-inch
ktmit on bass. BY comparing
he catches, biologists will be
kble to learn whether the bass
Should have more protection.
At seasons end last October,
294 bass had been caught,
which sounds like a large pro-
portion. But Sheridan points
out that many Of these were
small fish taken in the fall
from ponds with no size limit
and probably were Matched
there rather than being among
those stocked.
;, Two additional ponds were
open last year to "fish-for-fun"

made to stimulate natural. re-
production as in any well
managed pond. Fertilizer |,
planted is anchored barrels
which allow the nutrients tc
seep out slowly enough so that
the PHOSPHORUS doesn't settle
to the bottom.
Fertilizer. of course, grows
the plant life that feeds the
minute animals on which the
bluegills and subsequently, the
bass, thrive.
We fished one of the ponds
with the 14-inch limit with a
spinning rod on opening day
and got two strikes on a cast
ing-size pepper with feather
tail. Since the bass seemed to
be striking short, we switched
to a plug, only to get three
more lunges from the bass
that missed the bait COM
pletely.
Bass Spit Out Hook
Getting a new assignment
tag, we next tried the fish
for-fun pond and had q ball
for an hour with an Arbogast
creation called The Eye which
has a rubber tail and single
hook. We caught and released
three fair-sized bass, ther
hooked q bigger one that
jumped and spit out the hook,
While we were reeling in, an
other bass grabbed the lure and
did the same thing.
