tan a person know and we know that spring Is not Just around the corner it is hero I hope your Easter holidays will be pleasant A POLLUTION PROBLEM Lost year while walking along he banks of rivers noticed many yards of discarded fishing lines much of it was of the monofilament type There arc many other kinds of pollution but our wild life down t got tanflled up In discarded coffee cups tin cans beer bottles lunch wrappers and cigarette car tons But they sure do get caught real good In plastic fishing lines The results are just as disastrously as a fly or a moth that is lured spider web OVER ANXIOUS Anglers who discard their lines In this manner really don Intend to harm our wild life second from left John from left are NORTH CURLING NEWS by and fiord Partridge The Partys Over Its All

every angler when you discard that line burn It or cut it up in short lengths And fur thermore when you hook on to that broken off line that some other person lost in the river try and pull it all in destroy it and perhaps a new expensive lure wilt end up in your tackle box that you found on the end of the line Don t fust think about it Do It You will be rewarded by your own feelings BIG The

used 10 or years ago perhaps there would not be the environmental damage there Is But you and I agree about all this Moreover thanks to fish Partly for the sake of the next generation as we want them to be able to fish because It the best recreation there Is Borgstrom S Well perhaps not the best recreation there Is but one of the best A REMINDER WOULD HELP Everyone who has driven along our

and a few other popular places people would think before they throw MUCH There is much more to write about but it seems we were so much time to work sleep write and watch hockey games on television so
