If the sportsmen, landowners, Boy Scouts, 4-H Clubs, bird clubs and other organizations interested in the conservation of our natural resources continue cooperating with the various conservation depart- ments of our own State government in the future as well as they have in the past, there'll be no likelihood of a blackout for wildlife conservation in Pennsylvania either. Now more than ever before must taere be solidarity and unity of purpose. In times of peace there are no disturbing elements of de- structive forces tnat threaten the security of our natural resources-- at least not in the proportion or sense that such forces exert them- selves at a time when conditions are unsettled, and when every en- orgy is being expanded in the in- terest of national defense. It's the duty, therefore, of every sportsman and sportswoman, every farmer, every youth,—for that matter every citizen—whether he hunts, fishes, or not—to be on guard against any q element which might have for its purpose the ultimate destruction of our forests, our soil, our fish, or our wildlife. Whether we realize it or not these resources are the basis of all living and if we permit them unwisely, if we sacrifice them on the altar of commercialism, we shall be sawing off “the limb on which we are sitting. All of our resources can be re- garded as powerful reservoirs in times of stress, if they are properly managed and properly exploited. Otherwise they would contribute less than nothing in a national em- ergency. " In a recent announcement Dr. Ira N. Gabrielson, Chief of the U. S Fish and Wild life Service, said that “control of harmful and destructive birds and mammals is also essential in the efficient production of sup- plies for war purposes, and that losses to stored grains, foodstuffs. and cloth fabrics credited to rodents and mice in the United States dur- ing World War No. 1 amounted to many millions of dollars. “It is fitting that wildlife be sub- ordinated to the defense needs of the Nation, but if our biologists can recommend courses of action in the use of areas on which fish anc day writing poetry.” The interro- gator sighed. and said: :“I get “it.

From day break until even- ing the river was full of boats, with from 2 to four fishermen in each. reported that all their boats were hired out, and many of those fisher- men who decided to go fishing at the last minute were disappointed. Some of the old Rivermen claim that there were more bass and Sal- mon caught this year on the open- ing day than there were for the past several year. Quite a few fish- erman caught the limit. The second day of the season was hot, so hot that practically no fish- erman were to be seen on the river and those that tried their luck were unsueces:ful. The third day of the season the rainy spell started which caused the river to be muddy the whole way across to the Wrightsville cide. But notwithstanding the muddy condi- tion of the river there have been some very fair catches reported. Young rabbits and young phea- sants seem very plentiful and un- less something unforseen happens there will be plenty of game this Three Blanchard men were sent- enced to 130 days in jail by Justice of the Peace N. I Harter, Blanchard for having in their possession set nets for fish. They were Vance Kunes, Francis Gunsallus and Walter Davey. Kunes and Dovey were charged with hav- ing three nets apicce; Gunsallus with having two. The original sentence was $10) fine 30 days in jail. The additional sentence was added in default of payment of the fine. The three men were arrested by George W. Cross fish Warden from Hammersley Fork, and David Dahl gren, Fhillipsburg fish Warden, If you have dipped for bait you probably noticed a ncw type min- now at the rive they are of silver color, with a kind of square shaped mouth when handled the scales come of very easy. There are quite a few of these minnows and as us- ual some of the fisherman are tak- ing an unfair advantage of this con- dition by dipping and selling this valuable bait fish. it is unlawful to sell bait fish in this commonwealth and with working conditions the way they are today. Farmer and manufactures begging for help those who are dipping and celling bait fish or any illegally caught fish don’t! have that old alibi “I did it to get some money, I had no work.” The] fish Commission are going to crack down on some of these illegal prac- tices and there will be no lenien- tancy shown for any one. The State Fish Commission points out that they stock these minnows to provide food for bass. They say that in order for a bass to grow large they must have lots of food and as these minniws are the prin- cipal food of Bass as well as salmon we must : make our’ choiee, do. we want, large bass or, do. we want to see the food supply of the bass wasted to a point when it will be necessary to pass laws prohibiting the use ofthe minnows for bait.
