Chain pickerel is Pennsylvania's
| game fish which supplies recreation
| in both summer and winter. In' sum-
mer, it is sought after with flashy
lures and minnows. In winter, the
tip-up fishermen minnows benefit
| from the gluttonous appetite of this
member of the pike family.
| The pickerel is carnivorous - eats
fish, small rodents, frogs, snakes
and other small terrestial animals
which may fall in the water.
They spawn in early spring soon
after the ice melts. The eggs are

We walked out to the road and
we heard the car coming. Mr. B.
told the explorers to get off the
road. Only three were walking on
the road when they came. They
whipped their car into the dirt
road right there. When we reached
them they were strung across the
road. The one boy who seemed to
be the ring leader was showing his
light in one face after the other.
When the other scouts walked owt
two of the boys jumped back in the
car. Mr. B. wanted to know why
they were picking on the explorers.
He told them to get out of here
and go where they belonged. One
boy said he belonged here, another
said he was free, white and twenty
one. Mr. B. said you may be free
and white but he didn’t look twenty
one and should be home in bed in-
stead of out there. Mr. B. grabbed
the ring leader, by the arm and
the boy said “don’t you hit me or I
will have you arrested.” Mr. B. pro-
pelled him toward his car and told
him to get out of here. !
Mr. B. made a note of the license
number of the car. The one boy
who said he was white, free and 21,
didn’t have a shirt on and if they
used measurements for boys his
would be 22-21-22 and his arms
would measure about six inches
where his muscles should be.
We turned our back on them and
walked backed to camp. When we
were leaving they started to call us
names and ridicule us. Mr. B. said
just keep moving. We had only
gone a little way when the .oar
headed in our direction. We ran
off the road.
the end of the road they turned
around and came back. Thinking
that they might make a pass at us
with the car Mr. B. picked up a
rock to let them have it if they did.
They didn't and they stopped and
said one of the boys had thrown a
rock and had cracked the wind-
shield, the crack looked like an old
one. We were just getting into bed
when they came down the driveway
to Wilson's, turned aronmA »nd
raced out again, evidentally looking
for us. When we heard them com-
ing Mr. B. told the scouts to put
out the light. They were so excited
| that they couldnt get it out. Some
excitement. Every time we heard
a noise all night we thought it was
them sneaking up on us.
Once during the night Bill
| thought he heard a noise and got
up and investigated it. When he
came back (not finding anything)
he reached in and grabbed Tim's
leg and Tim came up fighting the
tent.
