Very Much Alive’ Trout Caught on Street at Camp Hill By Pennsylvania News Service Camp Hill, Pa.— Followers of Isaac Walton who delight in a| tussle with a hefty trout in the | cool sanctity of a mountain brook | or stream, may find it difficult to| place credence in the story of one Charles H. Nailor of this thriving Harrisburg suburb who over the | week end caught a trout in the] busy highway in front of his resi- dence. It seems that Mr. Nailor was contentedly sitting in his apart- ment watching movement of traf- fic on the street—heavily traveled U. S. Route 11. Suddenly the gentleman looked once—then twice—and sure en- ough, almost lying under his nose in the middle of the street was a flopping fish. r. Nailor rushed to the win- dow—Ilooked once again to make sure he wasn’t seeing things—and then called across the street to one of the workers at a service Philadelphia Ave. Barnesboro |to spray cattle for the control : station he operates. of flies, says E. J. Udine, Penn An Sr William Coombe State extension entomologist. Jr., glanced: at the spot in the street where Mr. Nailor was pointing—looked once, and then looked again—and went into ac- tion. The two men rushed into the street, gathered up the fish—a beautiful specimen of a nine-inch trout that seemed in good health —and plunked it into a pail of water. Examination of the fish showed it had not been hooked. It appar- ently had been dropped from a passing stocking truck. i The trout was removed to a | local stream by its captors and turned free. Cost of Living Cuts | Food Consumption Many Pennsylvanians Drawing on Savings By Pennsylvania News Service The high cost of living is ser- iously biting into the pocketbook of modest income families of this state. In fact, about 43 percent of the earned income of the lower bra- cket wage earners of the Key- stone State goes into the pur- chases of food for everyday needs acording to the State Dept. of Labor and Industry. Noteworthy is the fact that while food prices have climbed ap- proximtely seven percent within the past year, Pennsylvania's wage earners are spending only about two-tenth of one percent more for food. Thus while food costs have been on the rise, actual spending by low-income families has failed to keep step. While food requirements absorb 43 percent of the low-income bud- gets, rent takes little more than 12 percent, as compared with 18 percent in pre-war years, the de- partment says. Indications are, according to a spokesman, that Pennsylvania's low-income families are now being {forced to forego many luxury | items, plus others such as cloth- ing and medical attention, to , Wg | meet increased food costs. brighter, more beautiful! a | Saving accumulated during the matter of hours from oppointment your car will look newer, war years when income was com- | paratively high and expenses in {general controlled by price regu- |lations, are now being drawn id by many lowincome families to | meet present-day needs.
