Jim Gasque, noted bass fisherman and author of the new book "Bass Fish ing". above is bringing his catch on Hiwassee lake to the boat. Despite deep water, Hiwassee is furnishing plenty of bass, perch, carp, pike and other ftsh for a new legion of anglers created by liberalization of fishing rules, TVA studies indicate that fears of overfishing the large power reservoirs are unfounded. Bass fishing was good on the lake this spring and continues fair even now. Many fishermen believe that the year-around experiment being tried this year will lead other states to open lakes similarly. Fish biologists claim fish wont bite until after spawning, anyway, and that many large fish die of old age because of fishing restric tions.

War Ration Book Five "smaller | than a dollar bill" and contain ! ing just half as many stamps as the last book issued, will be dis i tributed through the public schools in December, Chester Bowles, Administrator of the Of fice of Pi-ice Administration, an nounced today. At the same time, the new "A" gasoline ration bjok will be issued. Distribution will take place at school houses or other public building throughout the nation from December 3 through Decem ber 15. OPA district offices will fix the exact time for each local area. The new "A" gasoline books will go into use December 22, and War Ration Book Five will be used soon after the first of the year for food rationing and for rationing shoes. WAR RATION BOOK FTVE The new all-purpose ration book will measure 5 11/16 inches by 2-1/8 inches. Over all, it is exact ly one half the size of the present ration books. Books Three and Four, and contains just half as many stamps as were in Book Four ?192 stamps in Book Five as com pared with 384 in Book Four. The stamps in the new book, however, will be the same size as the stamps now in use. At the current rate of ??.ir,ng stamps good ? five red stamps and five blue stamps at the be ginning of each month War Ration Book Five can last, if needed, about 15 months. The book will contain 46 red stamps numbered from 11 through 58 for use in the meat-fats pro gram. There will be 48 blue pro cessed food stamps, also numbered from 11 through 58. There will be 12 sugar stamps, numbered from 23 through 34, and 12 shoe stamps, numbered from 11 through 22. The book will also contain 72 "spare" stamps ? 24 of them green stamps numbered from 35 through 58. and 48 of them brown stamps numbered 59 through 106. These spare stamps will be available for use in extending the life of the book to approximately 15 months if needed. The last full set of five stamps in War Ration Book Four will be . come good on September 1. The final set of five red stamps will be validated a month later, on October 1. Since War Ration Book Five i containing the new red and blue stamps, will not go into use before January 1, 1946, it will be necessary to use other stamps in Book Four ? as substitutes for processed food 1 and meat-fats stamps during the interim period. Interim period use of shoe and - sugar stamps will not be necessary since the stamps provided for these items in Books Three and Four will 1 carry the programs without resort ' to substitutions. Interim use of other stamps in Book Four after all blue and red ; stamps are validated will permit a considerable money saving. The saving will come from the fact that maximum possible use will ? te made of the remaining stamps in Book Four, and because the life ? of the incoming Book Five there by will be lengthened. uir. .-NEW "A" BOOK The new "A" Gasoline Book, the third issued under rationing, will differ from the present book only in color. The book will con tain five sets of coupons, six cou pons to a set numbered A-18 through A-23. Each set of six I coupons will cover a different validity period.
