they join the Winners Circle festivities. The Legion Mall ceremonies are open to the public free of charge. Admission will be charged at the Market Square Arena program and Winners Circle Celebration. Planners for the event have made an extensive check of the city’s weather history. They say that in the last 10 years it has never rained “more than a trace” between 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. in downtown Indianapolis on July 23. The normal high for that day is 86 degrees, and the normal low is 65 degrees. The record for July 23 is 98 degrees, which has been set six times. Downtown Indianapolis businesses are being urged to close early on July 23, to aUow their employees to participate in the opening ceremonies activities. A major traffic control plan has been developed to handle the rerouting of traffic during the Friday evening events. Opening ceremony festivities are expected to conclude about midnight, but the work of some 500 volunteers will not end then. The downtown area must be cleaned up and ready for the city’s visitors for the first day of competition, while the banners, flags, giant numerals, ceremonial torch and other fantastic decorations must be collected and stored until the next time Indianapolis plays host to the National Sports Festival.

eggs in each smallmouth nest varies widely, ranging from as few as 200 to several thousand. Smallmouth bass eggs hatch in 410 days, though not all eggs hatch due to floods, fungus, water level recession, rapid temperature changes and predation. Smallmouth can be caught on both live and artificial baits. Most fishermen use spinning gear. Small to intermediate size spinner baits, spoons, streamer flys and plugs, especially those painted like crayfish, are good smallmouth lures. In northern Indiana, the Saint Joseph River, Tippecanoe River and Eel River are good smallmouth streams. Some of the best lakes for smallmouth fishing are Maxinkuckee, Clear, Wawasee, James, Freeman and Shafer.
