Violators Can Be Stopped!
JUST recently Wildlife Rangers Beasley and Wiggins dis
covered a hedgetrap in Skullereek in Jenkins county. The
trap cut off the entire creek, making it impossible for fish
| to get downstream. It was reported the trap
Py was catching hundreds of pounds of fish
; weekly. The rangers destroyed it.
: 2 That is what is happening to our fish. This
type of trap isn’t unusual. It alse isn’t un
e usual to find baskets; and too many so-called
gportsmen use nets and other illegal devices
\ such as shocking machines. There is too much
%fi & dynamiting, and poisoning, The fellow who
“‘3\ % buys easting rods, fly rods, plugs, fiys, lures
% and motors is the man who pays the bill.
He is the fellow who is penalized by the fish
. thief,
There is a cure. Last week, three men in Cali
fornia were found guilty of netting black bass.
The judge gave each man 87 days in jail. It is reasonable to assume
that these men will have lost their taste for bags by the time they get
out of prison. It is hard to imagine these men ever repeating their
metting experience. They’re cured.
If anything, Georgia has more than its share of violatora. One
of these days a viclator is going to hear a judge take his hide off
: with & SI,OOO fine. That story will make front pages. It will dis
- eourage and put out of business every fish thief in the state. It
: will be the biggest and best news our sportsmen have ever received.
Fishing in Georgia then will return to a sane basis and there will
, be decent recreation for thousands.
Too many fish bandits feel that if the fine is small, they don't mind
taking the risk. They wouldn’t be interested if they kmew it would
. cost them SI,OOO to swindle sp:)rt.:mnn out of their rights.

"Arizona Brings ‘em Back |
Now we have the first extradition case on record involving & game
saw violator. A California man invaded Arizona and evidently at
}temg:od to shoot wp the duck population. When Arizona rangers closed
lin, fled back into California. Arizona took out extradition papers
icharging the men with hunting without a license, being a non-resident,
jexceeding the limit and transporting illegal game. ,
The violator fought extradition even to the extent of a hearing
before California’s Governor Warren. However, the Governor :
signed the papers and the man was returned to Arizona for trial.
I have written Judge Hagley, of Quartzsite, Arizona, to find out |
what havpened. Governor Warren made a lot of friends when he '

cases, one for drunkenness, three'
cases for violation of city regis

reckless driving and speeding was
against Hoyt W. Anderson, who
was caught by Officers Magahee
and Hurley. Anderson forfeited his
bond of $201.50 for non-appear

license suspended for six months.
Anderson also has charges of pos

Joy said if the Communists still
objected, they should Ilet him
know by 7:30 Thursday morning
“on what date it will be possible
to resume the conference with
newsmen present at the confer

At 7:30 a. m. Col. J. C. Murray
flew by helicopter to the Red check
point between Munsan and Kae

tain gave him the Red reply:
“We are in favor of having
newsmen from both sides in Kae
song at the opportune time.
“When agreement is reached on
our negotiations we shall wel
come newsmen. We wish that we
can state a definite date. But this
depends on the efforts made by
both sides during the conference.”
Colonel Murray replied that the
convoy, including 20 newsmen, al
ready was on the road “on the as
sumption that you would not allow
the conference to be delayed over
the issue of admitting 20 news
men to the conference area. If
you refuse the convoy permission
to proceed, the officer in charge
has been directed to return to our

.+« Serves Athens 31 Years
Chief Thompson
As Fire Fighter
By TOM BROWN
Fire Chief William Curtis
Thompson will begin his thirty
second year of service in the Ath
ens Fire Department today, Chief
Thompson has been chief of the
department for ten years and has
served under the three previous
chiefs, E. F. Lester, Doma Watson,
and George McDorman.
Chief Thompson has through]
the years observed the entire de-(
velopment of the local Fire De
partment into the modernly equip- |
ped fire-fighting system it is to
day, horse-drawn fire wagons
having been used when he first
joined the force.
Chief Thompson said that he
has seen more accomplished in the
last twelve months than in the
whole 31 years that he has been
with the department.
~ He said, “The number 3 fire
station has been built and equip
ped, city officials have cooperated
with me in getting a new hook
and ladder truck, and in getting
all trucks equipped with two-way
radios.
Chief Thompson has seen the
local fire department receive the
Award of Merit from the South
eastern Underwriters, presented
by Zack Cravey, commissioner of
the Georgia Safety Fire Commis
sion. Fidelity, excellence, and in
genuity of local firemen, the first
such award made in the state,
earned this award for the Athens
Fire Department.

Georgia Biology
H-Bomb Plant
The Atomic Energy Commission
has approved a proposal by the
University of Georgia biology de
partment to make an ecological
survey of the new Hydrogen Bomb
plant area near Augusta.
Ecology is the branch of biology
that deals with the mutual rela
tions between organisms and their
environment,
During the first year, the survey
will be made to determine what
kind and how many animals oc
cupy the area in its present condi
tion. This data will be used in
interpreting and finding the cause
of changes which take place in
the future.
A SIO,OOO contract will be drawn
up soon between the University
and the AEC. The allocation is
for the first year’s work only, al
though the research will probably
last for two years.
The project will be directed by
Dr. Eugene P. Odum, associate
professor of zoology. He will be
-assisted by Dr. J. J. Paul, assistant
professor of zoology. Three grad
uate students will handle the field
work.
' The unique feature of the pro
ject, Dr. Odum said, is that the
entire human population of the
400 square mile area will be re—]
moved. This will provide an op
portunity to study the little known
process of ecological succession
and to obtain basic data that will
be of value in solving many land
! use problems that may arise.

“Athens’ Leading Store For Children”
HERE'S USED CAR THAT'S
NEVER BEEN USED
By RICHARD KLEINER
NEA Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK-—(NEA)—Here is a
friendly tip. If anybody ever of
fers you a used car, serial num
ber 16012658, snap it up. Don’t|
ask any questions. Pay cash.’
You've got a genuine bargain.
That’s- because old numberl
16012658 is a pampered baby. It's
a 1951 model (Buick) that has
well over 7000 miles under its fan
belt. For aggactically-new gar,
that's a loft™Mef mileage, but
16012658 has dgne it the easy way.
The speedomg%' still r”:;lsters a
big fat zero.
It's done all its travelling as an
automotive hitch-hiker. Every
mile it travels it sits lazily in a'
carefully-padded van. It has yet
to roll its dainty white-walls un
der its own power. It spends
most of its time either in a van
or in department store windows.
The car is an exhibition model.!
called the “Old Vienna.” It’'s a
two-tone job—rose and gray, no
less—with needlepoint upholstery
and gold-plated control knobs. It's
being taken on a nation-wide tour,
to show people how much they’ve
always wanted a car with needle
point upholstery and gold-plated
control knobs.
®. & &
Because of its value—which is
listed as upwards of sls,ooo—it
is treated with high test care'and
no-knock loving kindness. At each
of the 40 cities it will visit, a high
local dignitary (the auto com
pany’s zone manager) meets it.
He chaperones it during its stay
(in his zone.
It sometimes takes a lot of do
ing to get it into the department
stores where it is scheduled to be
admired. In Washington, Tulsa
and Houston, it was an engineer
ing problem. Ramps had to be|
built to take the dainty car from l
the van to the store.
In Tulsa, the ramp-building op
erations made it necessary so stop
traffic on the city’s main street
for a few hours, Getting it into the
store was another problem. It was
solved by taking out a huge plate
glass show-window and then re
placing it.
In Philadelphia, the car was
scheduled for exhibition on an
upper folor. It wouldn’s fit on
the escalator and the elevators
weren’t big enough, either. Then
some unsung genius thought of
turning the car on end, and it went
upstairs head first.
* * *
One of the big problems facing
the chaperones has been the lure
of the gold-plated cigar lighters.
Peoplz are supposed to admire
them from a distance, free from
temptation. But in several stops
it’s taken some fast sprinting to
get them back from the grubby

Biggest Tumip
Athens Crop experts’ prophecies
that this year would be one of t},»
best in many years for size ang
quality of home grown vegetal)les
was certainly fullfilled in one in
stance anyhow. Jeff Cobb today
brought into the Banner-Herald
office one of the largest turnips
that has ever been grown in this
area.
Cobb reported that the vege
table was-grown in the vegeta))le
garden on his uncle’s farm out in
Oconee County. The monster size
turnip came up voluntarily and at
tained its great size with only the
regular garden fertilizer that wag
used in the entire garden.
The measurements of the vege
table are something to be marveled
at. It is of such great size that a
big man could not possible span
it with both his hands. It measures
8 inches at the top and has a cir
cumference of 18 inches.
Employes at the Coffer Seed
Company here said that the turnip
was the largest one ever grown in
this locality.
Coastal Bermuda is adapted to
all sections of the state, but the
majority of plantings have been in
the Coastal Plains area.

than 5,000,000 acres of arid and
semi-arid lands under irrigation
