We would like a picture to verify a story of a big catch, but will have to give it to you the way we got it. With a helpless little worm on a small hook ( he was fishing for minnows) along came a bass T -H -A -T long to take the bait. There was a terrific fight before this whopper was landed. Now, would you believe? .... With one mighty leap, that fish jumped right into the boat with Fred. The damdest things do happen.

We judged cattle on the hoof in our 4-H Club days, but never art. Memory went back to pur eighth grade year in what is now known as landmark School. . Mrs. Florence Wrgy, a fine teacher and tough taskmaster, insisted that we draw something to put on the board for visiting day. Proud parents came to view the efforts of their dear students. We knew our mother wouldtf^ be proud of our art work so^lried to dodge it. When we presented our work of art to Mrs. Wray, she asked what it was. We told her it was a sled. Her reply was, "you bad better label it -- somebody might mistake it for an apple." ITEM: When painting ceilings with a roller, always paint the width of the room rather than the length.

Coast Mr. Average Citizen Speaks Up On Conservation Pr ram SPRINGFIELD, ILL., June 9 -- Mr. Average Citizen resents the favored treatment and special privileges that were granted to a small minority of people by the Illinois Department of Conservation in the past. This was apparent during a series of public hearings held in April and May, according to William L. Rutherford, department director. The locations and dates of the hearings were: Illinois Building, State Fairgrounds, Springfield, April 15; Starved Rock State Park, Utica, May 3; Southern Illinois University, Cartessfele, May 10; Illinois Beach State Park, Zion, May 24. "Most people at the hearings realized that there are just not enough deer hunting permits for the best county or good goose blinds at air public hunting grounds for everyone", Rutherford said. "What they want is a fair distribution of what is available without regard to a man's 'clout.' "There were other points that were of obvious public concern," Rutherford said. One was the lack of adequate camping facilities at state parks. Another was the shortage of wall marked nature trails that would give people who spend much of their time in cars a dance to walk. "Some waterfowlers are dissatisfied with the allocation of duck blind sites cm federal lands along the Mississippi river that are managed by the Deiiartment of Conservation," Rutherford saita. Establishing a duck season that will provide equal huritingopportkritiesfaraUsportBmen was a point discussed at length. The difficulty of setting season dates in Illinois, a state that is 400 miles long and subject to a great variation in weather conditions, was recognized. Many dude hunters wondered about the status of the mallard population in the Mississippi flyway. Rutherford went onto say that most people feel that the need for water pollution control was great. "Many of those who expressed opinions at the hearings said that we must put much more iuo educating everyone regarding the scope and hazards of pollution in Illinois," he said. "If s obvious that people feel that our young folks must be giv« en a good background in the conservation of our resources while they are in school," Rutherford said. "This is the best way that we have to make them appreciate their environment sr»i reali se what a problem we may have surviving in the future." According to Rutherford, the majority of the people at the hearings wanted to participate in solving conservation problems at their own local level. They expressed a need for guidance and technical assistance. Rutherford pointed out that many points were brought 19 that were of regional importance. At Southern Illinois University the quail propagation program, allocation of deer permits and hunting and fishing opportunites were important issues. The development of the Hennepin and Illinois-Michigan canals took up at least half of the hearing time at Starved Rock State Park. yT\. The hearing at ni^nDis fieach State Park emphasized the need for developing boat launching areas on Lake Michigan. The proper management of the napreserve at the park was discussed in detail. Views on theV fishing in the Chain CPL&tses region were given. At both of the northern Illinois hearings the need for bridle baths and riding trails was brought out. m of the Department tion was voiced at In si^me cases the 1 members agreed justified. oad scope of our knd our needs were at Criti of Cons the hear!! hearing that it "The problems well define and I want \ thank everyc in them," eluded. these hearings 0 compliment and ie who participated 1 Rutherford con- ANCHORS MATCH BOAT TO ITS USE So you are thinking of buying your first boat Start by accepting this fact--there is no pat formula for deciding what boat is best for a particular use. An obvious factor is knowing the number of people who will ride in it, as is the water on which it will be used. A 14-foot runabout which might be used for skiing on a calm inland lake would hardly be best for big, open water areas, reports the Johnson Motors News Bureau. Because of the tremendous interest in boating, the selection of types is almost endless. Mass production has, in turn, reduced costs to fit the average family budget, and financing a boating rig is as simple as financing an automobile. In deciding on size, the interior should be large enough to accoKimodate not only your family but also all the gear you will take along. A shorter, lighter boat usually is easier to trailer behind a car, to launch and to retrieve. As to hull Styles, thete is no general agreement Deep V's, catamaran, rounded lapstrake and cathedral all have their advantages. For this reason, be sure to secure counsel from a qualified marine dealer before buying. Fiberglass and aluminum lead in sales, but many boatmen still prefer the beauty and craftsmanship of wood hulls. The power of the outboard engine is somewhat dictated by the size of the boat, but neither over-powering nor underpowering is safe or economical. In choosing between an outboard and an inboard-outboard, consider the advantages of both. Most popular outboard engines are two-cycle and thus offer higher thrust, lower weight fewer moving parts, ancPeasier handling. In addition to the boat itself, a way of transporting it is necessary. Be sure to select a trailer large enough to haul all the extra gear which will be needed. Buy one with standard sized tires and carry a spare. Unless you have a 10-foot aluminum skiff, forget about bumper hitches and have a frame hitch installed. Some accessories are mandatory, such as fire extinguishers, anchors and buoyant cushions, while others are optional. Your marine dealer can be very helpful here, and also will counsel you on boat handling and rules of the water.
