Following is a reply to Mc- Henry County Clean Streams Committee: In answer to your question regarding the number of dead and dying fish seen recently in the Pistakee Bay and Fox River outlet area at McHenry, I do have some information about this. I was first contacted concerning this matter by Marion Hocker of Pistakee Bay, who called me shortly after the ice went off and informed me that he had observed considerable numbers of dead- fish on his downwind shoreline. When I visited this part of Pistakee. Lake the next day, March 28, I did observe numbers of dead fish, mainly channel catfish, in the south end of Pistakee Bay. I also observed a few fish that were swimming at the surface in a distressed condition So, lef s think of more pleasant things ... like listening to the birds sing and watching our neighbors spade their gardens. Free Deer Hunting Permits For Land Owners June 1 Springfield, 111., Apr. 15 -- Sportsmen who will hunt deer on land they own and live on may apply for free permits beginning Sunday, June 1, William L. Rutherford, director of the Illinois Department of Conservation, announced today. Absentee owners of farmland may purchase permits for $5 from June 1 through June 20 to hunt cm their farms. Applications for these permits must be approved by conservation officers assigned to counties in which the farms are located. Starting June 23, all other sportsmen may apply for permits. Applications postmarked prior to June 21 will be returned to the sender. Bow hunting permits will be issued starting June 1. The deer season is divided into two 3-day weekends. The first begins Fri., Nov. 21, and ends Sun., Nov. 23. The second is from Fri., Dec. 12, through Sun., Dec. 14. The first portion of the bow season frill begin Wed., Oct. 1, and end Sun., Nov. 16. The second portion Will begin Mon., Nov. 24, and end Wed., Dec. 31, except that no bow hunting will be permitted Dec. 8- 14. Seventy-one counties will be open for deer hunting with shotguns or muzzle-loading rifles again this year. The entire state is open for bow hunting. Gun permit quotas have been reduced in two counties. Research over the past two years by Dr. Richard Andrew of East-, era Illinois university and Jack Calhoun, leader of the department deer project, indicates the white tail herd in the northern part of Pope county has been severely overharvested since 1964. This year's quota for north Pope county is 3,500 permits, 1,500 fewer than were available in 1968. Hunting pressure in the southern part of Pope county has not been excessive; therefore, the permit quota there remains at 2,000. Due to a decrease in deer kills in Winnebago county in recent years that count's permit quota has been lowered. Rutherford said he will adhere strictly to recommendations of game technicians regarding the number of permits to be issued. ITEM: Bricks may be used for floors in some rooms of the house.

Three of the new officers are McHenry residents. District Commander Grant Vorhees administered the oath of office to the following: Commander, Richard A. Hupe; Executive officer, Wm. E.

Northern Illini Bowmen April club shoot winners were mostly a family affair with mother, Ann Martin, in the winner's circle shooting a 157, putting her up to Class C. Father, Ray, and Ray Jr., both placedisecond in this handicap shoot. Rex Sommer again outshot his former score of 255 by upping it to 339 out of a possible 560 points. With handicap his score was 657 giving Mm a gold medal. Also father, Oscar's gold „ medal was for shooting a 430, handicapped to 544. Jean Bird took a second place medal and Lee Kiltz a third. At the April club meeting plans were made for the " May Marathon". Range captain, Les Adams, called a work party for Saturday, May 10. John Wallin volunteered to head the May 17 Marathon Nite shoot. To promote archery, the Northern Illini Bowmen voted to man a booth at the McHenry County Fair showing target and hunting equipment, demonstrating the use of the bow, and possibly inviting the public to try shooting a few arrows. Oscar Sommer and Tom Wendt will be in charge of the arrangements for the booth. and I collected some of these for examination. Water tests that I undertook at that time did not indicate any chemical cause for this die-off, such as low oxygen in the water. I sent a collected fish to a federal laboratory the next day. At the time of my first inspection, the dead fish were confined to the south end of Pistakee Lcke, however, in subsequent visits fish carcasses have been also observed in the Fox River below the Chain and in Mineola Bay of Fox Lake. I recently received the laboratory report about the fish and in the judgement of the biologist who conducted the examination, the fish was suffering from a heavy infestation of a small, protozoan parasite called Trichodina. The manner in which the fish were dying and other evidence strongly points to this very tiny parasite as being the culprit in this particular fish mortality in the Chain. Fish frequently become most susceptible to diseases and mortality in the early spring, because they have not yet commenced to feed actively and to regain confined conditions, such as in a hatchery, the fish could be treated with a salt solution and the parasite eliminated, however, under natural conditions, such as in the Chain, such treatment is not possible. I have observed a number of other diseases affecting fish in the wild and I m ist say that frequently other conditions in the water, such as poor water Waxed Floors You can prolong the new appearance of a just-finished floor with a coat of wax. The wax protection will last as long as the wax finish is intact. The floor should have at least two coats of wax --but if you use a liquid wax, you have to apply additional coats to build up an adequate film. Paste wax is best on a floor finished with shellac.

The cold, gloomy day was certainly a deterrent to any hot hitting, but the Warriors did manage nine safeties to back up the shutout, three hit pitching of junior Tom Janik. Janik did not have his usual humming fastball, but his ability to nick the corners with his curve, added to some fine defensive efforts by his mates gave him his second conference win of the season. The Tigers aided our dause with an even half dozen miscues in the field, making all our runs unearned. Mark Camasta continued his torrid hitting with a brace of singles, and Tom Hurches and Mike Janik also chipped in with a pair of hits apiece. The first inning saw the Warriors pull in front with three tallies on the strength of two hits and a pair of errors by the Crystal Lake shortstop. Fom then it was peck away a run at a time for McHenry, and after six innings the officials called the game because of darkness. This Saturday is a crucial one for our pennant chances as we will face the always rough Broncos of Barrington. The big red boast two fine hurlers in Olson and Allan, and one of the most feared hitters in the league in l&rge third baseman Dave Glantz who has been almost impossible to retire so far this year. Hope you can make the contest, we start at 12:30; why not join the Warriorettes in urging the front running Warriors on?

Often certain species of fish are more susceptible than others and in this case the catfishes seem to be the species most affected. 1 have some addtional fish that I have collected during investigations of this recent dieoff and am sending these specimens to the Illinois Natural History Survey for further analysis. We will be conducting our annual fish population test in the Fox Chain during May, and will observe very closely at that time as to whether this recent condition has caused any change in the fish papulation of these lakes compared to our tests from the five previous years. Ordinarily, we have found the fish population in the Chain to be of very good quality. If this condition were to change for the worse, I would strongly suspect that water quality and environmental conditions were getting worse. Thank you for your interest in this matter. Many other persons in your area have also contacted us and expressed concern over this condition and we will always attempt to answer these inquiries with whatever information we have.
