Citations To Junior Fishermen The Pennsylvania Fish Commis- sion has made a major break- through in rearing members of the pike family - the muskellunge, northern pike and chain pickerel, according to Robert J. Bielo, ex- ecutive director. The significance of this break- through was emphasized by a visit from United States Fish and Wild- life officials from different areas of the United States. es : | Traditionally these species had to | be fed 4 nows. e food, principally min- Wice their consumption is approximately ten minnows per day | per fish, it would be necessary to capture 1,000,000 minnows a day of | the correct size to feed 100,000 pike. Since this was obviously the limiting factor in the production of pike, Pe lvania Fish Commission personnel set out to do what many authorities feed mugkellunge, pike and pickerel dry trout food pellets. The preliminary success of re- search both at the Benner Spring Fish. Research Station and the Union City Hatchery was important enough to attract these top fish culturists.” A significant number of fish of the three species have been trained to accept dry pelleted trout food. These fish are living and growing well. A Federal hatchery official said he was quite intrigued about the possibilities of adapting these tech- niques for pike production at hatcheries throughout the United States.

Nine of his own team played for the West along with two from Dallas. According to a tele- phone conversation between the coach and a member of the Post staff, he was quite proud of the Back Monutain boys. He told our reporter that they were good players and worked hard. He enjoyed coaching the boys, especially Bob Parry of Dallas. He said that Bob was a real man and quite “coachable’”. Bob and Kent Jones of Lake-Lehman were chosen as co-captains of the West team. Kent Jones, one of Lake-Leh- man's leading athletes last year, is also an excellent student. He has been presented with the Muchler Award, a full four-year scholarship to Wilkes College. The awad is one of the highest scholastic honors at Wilkes. Jones should see action on the Wilkes freshman team this fall and will probably have a large cheering section of his own. John Murray Of Dallas Leaves On Reserve Duty John Murray, Sago Street, Dallas, will be among the 90 officers and airmen of the 92nd Aerial Port Squadron based at Wyoming to re- place civilian clothes with Air Force Blues and begin a two-week sum- mer training tour at Dover Air Force Base, Delaware, on Saturday, August 17. Sgt. Murray, an employee of Payne Printery is married to the former Jean Nowak of Wilkes-Barre. The couple and their two children have lived in the Back Mountain area for three years. The 92nd Aerial Port Squadron was organized in 1956. Its primary mission since then is to train and vania or another state in a prior year, or (b) a certificate of com- | petency showing that he has suc- | cessfully completed a course of in- | struction in the safe handling o firearms and bows and arrows. Many hunters apparently are un- der the impression that youths must complete the safety training course before September 1 of this year. Such is’ not the case, according.to, Game . Commission Hunter Safety Coordinator John C. Behel. “Hunter safety training does not become mandatory for persons un- der 16 until September 1 of next year,’ Behel said. = “However, I would strongly encourage all youths who have not completed the course to do so at their earliest conveni- ence. Those who wait until the last minute = might be . disappointed,” Behel added. $200,000 To Be Given In Lieu Of Game Land Taxes More ‘than $200,000 will be dis- .| tributed to county treasurers and political subdivisions by! the Penn- sylvania Game - Commission this year. : The payments will be made in lieu of taxes for State Game Lands located = throughout the Common- wealth. There are more ‘than one million acres of Game Lands in the Keystone State. The Game Commission provides a ‘total of twenty cents for each acre of Game Lands to local govern- mental units. Of the twenty cents per acre, eight cents is forwarded to the county, another eight cents is presented to the local school district, and the remaining four cents goes to the township board of road scpervisors.
