Thanks to God for my daughter.” His volce trailed as the leather mask was pulled over his face, but he continued to mutter thanks to his “old friends,” five of whom visited him in the death cell Sunday morning.

The fugitive was taken nto custody by Private J. J. Mignon- ga, of the State Motor Police, Pleas- ant Gap. The officer, on a regular patrol, became suspicious when he saw George along the road and stopped to question him.

More than five miles were given improvements very counts "Ne 1 garded the num stream ir sisdlt ponds In to the Spring Creek project, general improvements of the same nature were carried out for four miles commencing at Moshan- non Creek and continuing south through Rush township. Almost 20 miles of streams throughout the county were improved by the Works Progress Administration A project now operating will see the const of more ponds at Pleasant Gap. The Federal government is supplying $232600 for pur- chase of cement and sand. at this location, and according to Commis sioner Weber, if a project is obtained for the additional 28 ponds, to complete the project, the Federal government will advance funds for ma- terials and cement, But Mr. Weber sald. referring to these projects, “if we have Thomp- Singery and Decker to continue with our program, because they are interested In our work and we need their cooperation.” He further pointed out that the Spring Creek project was established at this point hecaute of the suitability of the water supply for the grow- ing of any or all kinds of fish stocked by the Board. Because of its geos graphic Joention, insofar as the distribution of fish is concerned, and because of the ideal characteristics of the main stream for the creation of a demonstrative stream improvement development, Bpring Creek is unique. One of the projects consisted of a fish farm, one and one-eighth mile of the main stream. used as the fishing area, and 900 feet of an ar- tificial stream for women anglers only The fish farm comprises three units, located within a radius of three miles. The Pleasant Gap unit consists of the main hatchery building and office space and 98 rearing pools with a development now under con. struction for the addition of 48 new areas. Lower Spring Creek project comprises 117 pools and the Upper pro- ject, 868 pools, or a total number of ponds now in use of 201 and 49 under construction In 1937, this fish farm stocked in the public waters of the State 147. 058 pounds of fish. The food consumed to raise these [ish over the same period totaled 586936 pounds The increased interest of the public in the project venture, since its inception can be seen by reviewing the data compiled each year. In 1034, for example, there were 2952 fishermen at the stream, while in 1937 there were 9.123. In 1034 there were 4.720 fish caught and in 1837 there were 9335 fish caught. In 1934, the total number of fish killed was 2472 and in 1937, 4,027; with the average weight of the fish killed in 1834 be- ing 88 ounces and in 1937 it was 1293 ounces. “1 wish every Pennsylvania sportsman would read the September is. sue of the Pennsylvania Angler, and read the article on Pennsylvania's Spring Creek Project, which same article was presented at the annual meeting of the American Fisheries Society recently in Asheville N.
