Year-Round Lake Fishing Proposed

RESCUE CREW RETURN FROM FLOOBIREGION Citizens And Officials Highly Praise Volunteers’ Work Returning to Syracuse after their relief and rescue expedition to Southern Indiana, Captain Merl Harkless, Captain Orvil Snobarger and Captain Erving Bishop, speak only the highest words of praise for the twenty local volunteers who accompanied them. From Indianapolis and from New Albany where the rescue crews worked, have come expressions of apprecition for the work of these men, and telegrams and letters of commendation for their splendid conduct, discipline and help to the suffering flood victims. Harkless and Bishop with their crew of nine men, including radio operators, boatsmen and mechanics, arrived in New Albany last Tuesday morning. They established their headquarters on Spring street, and within two hours after their arrival, began the task of removing marooned and suffering people from the flooded area. Their first assignment was that of reaching several hundred persons in the Colgate plant at Jeffersonville. All were removed to points of safety. The plant was about eight miles from the crews base of operations. Syracuse-Lake Wawasee units were the only complete volunteer outfits in the flooded section of the state. Boats were sent from other points in this county, nad according from down-state reports, Kosciusko county did more in the way of rescue and ; relief work than any other single county. The local units, however were equipped to remove flood victims, keep radio contacts, had their own food an’d medicine and also had in their crews, several experienced mechanics who kept boats in operating condition. The following day the crew was assigned to the United States Coast guard and operated with them in , evacuating people from several ■ points. In all the fleet removed around 1,000 stranded flood victims. This enormous task was accomplished without a single mishap, and is considered by the Coast Guard and other boatsmnen as a remarkable feat, when the hazardous water conditions are considered. Robert Strieby of Indianapolis and Syracuse joined the local crew, and did splendid work in keeping; boats running and in a good state of repairs as well as operatig a relief boat. Snobarger and his crew with a number of large boats arrived at New Albany several hours later than ■ Harkless and Bishop. Captain Snobarger stated yesterday, that his crew was well trained and disciplined. They were in time to aid a number of persons, and rendered able help and service in transportation of food and supplies in and out of the stricken area. . The commanders of the units praise the work of the men highly. Captain Harkless said yesterday, “Our crews were every bit as efficient as the trained Coast Guardsmen. They conducted themselves like veterans, and proved themselves competent in handling boats and in every way. Discipline and conduct were above reproach.” Upon their return trip, the local crews were guests at the Spink-Arms Hotel, where they were met by a • score of newspapermen, who wanted information regarding their work in the southern flooded area. Trucks, boats, crew and equipment were photographed. The crews returned home well and safe, except for some slight damage to equipment, which has been repaired. Buddy Meets Buddy QUINCY, Mass., Feb. 4 (INS)— Two war veterans who had not seen each other since hey fought, side by side at Chateau-Thierry met under unusual circumstances here. One of them, awaiting trial for a minor offence, called out from his cell for a glass of water. A passing patrolman, who heard the request, turned to recognize in the prisoner, a “buddy*’ of wartime days.

THE SYRACUSE JOURNAL

COMMISSIONER APPROVESPLAN AS EXPERIMENT Would Use Beaver Dam As Test Spot For 24 Months An effort is being made to have the state legislature approve a bill which would make possible an open fishing season on Beaver Lake at Beaver Dam i in this county, for research and experimental purposes for the next two years. Last week a delegation of Kosci- : usko county citizens placed the plan before Commissioner of Conservation, Virgil Simmons and K. M. Kunkle director of fish and game. The department approved the plan, and arrangements are being made to have the bill passed to become a law. The delegation included John Grant of Beaver Dam, Alva McCauley, North Webster, Ross Osborn, and Milt Wysong, Syracuse, together with a group from Akron. State Senator Guy Dill of Pierceton and Representative Hobart Creighton of Atwood. Thty bill was discussed thoroughly at the conference with Conservation Department heads, and is termed by local fishermen as an idea worth following. If Beaver Lake is opened, members of the Conservation club will stake breeding beds and will compile a record of all fish caught during the , year. If it is found after two years that the plan does not materially decrease the number of fish in the , lake, an effort will be made to legislate an open season on all lakes in I Northern Indiana. Local fishermen and businessmen I believe that more people can be ati tracted here if the season is length- ‘ ened. They also contend that the supply of fish will not be exhausted if the beds are properly staked off. Senator Dill and Representative Creighton have agreed to present and sponsor the bill. PROTEST SHOOTINGS CINCINNATI, 0., Feb. 4 (INS) —Workhouse employes here are shooting starlings and sparrows by the hundreds in W ashington Park i but not killing them and this praci tice has brought a protest from ■ Maxwell Pruitt. He appealed to Council to stop the practice of wounding the birds and leaving their mangled bodies scattered about the park. If Land Won’t Sell, To Sue For Taxes HUNTINGTON, Feb. 3 (INS)— Huntington County commissioners today moved to supply the prosecuting attorney with a list of properties offered for delinquent tax sale I three times without bidders, with instructionsto sue to ob tain judgment and make executions. In most cases delinquencies have so accumulated that potential purchasers have been dissuaded by the high amount of taxes due.
