Lake Restocking Program Art Meeker reports that we have had word from the Delta Fish and Fur Farm'of Fountain City, Wis. stating that the fish we have on order should be ready in thirty days. The order is for 200,000 northern • pike, 9 to 16 inches in length. Delivery depends upon the weather, as always. The ice must be thick enough to support the trucks which collect the fish. Ice fishing is expected to be good this year, and Anyone catching a walleye, 14" or less, is asked to throw it in again, since these are the fish that will spawn this spring. The 200,000 walteyed pike fry and 200,000 northern pike fry which were put in the lake last spring have reached a length of six to seven inches. The walleyes and northerns Which were put in the spring of 1956 are now tjiirteen to -fifteen inches, according to reports. * \ Harrison Christmas Dance A gala evening was enjoyed by the seventh and eighth grade students, their parents ^nd friends in the community, at the Christmas party at Harrison school gym Saturday night. The music offered a considerate balance of smooth and sweet gor Mom and Dad along with tWe rock *n roll for the young set. Ethel and John VanKanegon were the featured entertainers during the intermission. Ethel, accompanied hy John at the piano, received an enthusiastic ovation singing songs' and playing her "Kazootikus". John, played a piano solo,. "Bumble Boogie!', demonstrating a fine mastery*of h i s i n s t r u m e n t . „ ,i' Squad Car Mwinsioti ' * Twelve of the .fifteen subdivisions, which are collectively Wonder Lake, were represented! at the Chamber of Commerce open meeting last Thursday at the fire house. The minutes pf the meeting at which sheriff Herendeen answered questions relative to the setting up of apatrol car a"t the l.ake were read for the benefit of those who had not been present. Horace Wagner, moderator, said thet the Chamber of Commerce had initiated the discussion and would now like to see the subdivision representatives take over the investigation and act as the governing bo-ly. He stressed the r.eed for tho heip of all to fornu: late the prt^^am. He pointed out tnat if the comiYiur.«ty endorsed Mie plan, the money for continu-j In tihe interval the C of C will ii;g could be raisec .in some such manner as l.ue fire department carnival. , The question before the assembly then was, "Are you as individuals interested in discussing further the proposed squad car and police patrol?" A standing count was taken and found to be a large majority. The point was made that some subdivisions have a large number af summer residents and it would not be possible to learn the wishes of the majority of the people until the annual meetings. LeRoy Smith, member of the township board of supervisors, attended tthe meeting at the invitation of the C. of C. He said that the township board would go' along with the plan as tentatively proposed, and suggested that the subdivision officers of the entire lake come to a decision and go chead with ^the plan on the six months trial basis, as proposed. In this way, the property owners would have for discussion at the annual meeting a program wnieh had been in cperation for six months, and wVch could therefore be more easily judged. It was suggested that each subdivision appoint a legular delegate and an alternate to serve on a panel, which would meet the firther discussion Jan. 28. Dr. Weiss made this motion, which was seconded and unanimously voted yes. provide a written record of all the facts and discussion to date in copies sufficient to distribute to r.ll the subdivision representatives.
