FISHING FUN
Those menibers of the fishing f aternity who enjoy the sport of gigging for suckers, and other rough fish, have finally hit the jackpot. The recent State Legislature passed a bill which makes it illegal to use this method except during the months of March. April and May. The subject of gigging has been argued both pro and con for many years, with many heated debates on both sides .... THE SPORTSMAN'S SHOP “Putnam County’s Tackle Box”
Bjr I viift'd Pre** A phenomenal, lecord-busting April blizzard s'v ; rled over Wyoming and Montana for the third straight day today. At least six persons were dead, seven were missing in the snowy wilderness, and scores of motorists were maroonen by drifts which sometimes covered their cars. Many towns were isolate !. It was the worst blizzard in history for the area, outdistanc ing the gr eat storms of 1887 and 1949. The U. S. Weather Bureau, which rarely uses such phrases, called it “phenomenal. ’ The young spring, which has been showing its teeth ever since its start last month, also stirred up trouble in other pa*-ts of the nation. In North Carolina the worst forest fire in state history swept towards Fairfield. Coast guardsmen. troops and Marines were called out to help fight it. The irresistable fire has charred 250,000 acres of timber. An observer said it “is spreading through the tops of the trees ano traveling like a cyclone.” In the Midwest, a tornado swooped down on two farms near Milbum, Iowa, destroying six buildings and sending a farm family scurrying to snelter in a cave. Hail stones tnree to six inches deep followed the twister. Another storm dumped four
high dust
j inches of snow on Duluth, Minn. I and in the Southwest farmers
hoped that two days of winds and land-tearing
j storms were over.
But none of these disturbances could compare to the freak cyclonic mass which rotated over a vast area of the northern Great Plains with its crippling blizzard. The massive snows mounted steadily late Monday and were whipped into 14-foot drifts by 70-mile-per-hour winds. Sheridan, Wyo., the focus of the storm, had 38 inches of snow. The storm coverea a circular area that covered parts of Wyoming, Montana, Utah, South Dakota and Nebraska. Snow depths early today included 35 inches at Billings, Mont., and 27 inches at

DETROIT. April 5.—<UP) dwlugan Democrats, capturing •.aost seven out of every 10 \ites in industrialized Detroit. ..aged a nip-and-tucl. battle witn -cpub'icans in Michigan’s bier1 ;1 spring election., today for .c first time since 1933. The voting was the first statewide test of Democratic-Republi-can strength anywhere in the naion since the November elec- • n when Democrats won both ijses of Congress away from he Republicans. Democrats swept every state office in Michigan last Novemjor for votes on a strict party basis. The candidates for th • nor state offices were all but ngotten in the battle of party icaders to get voters to marl: r the party instead of the candidate. With better than two-thirds of he precincts tabulated, Democratic candidates in every statewide race, in which candidates ran under the party label, were ahead by 30.000 to 40,000 votes. But most of the missing precincts were in outstete out of the Detroit area. Republicans were running strongly irt that traditional GOP territory, gathering slightly loss than six out of every 10 votes.
