PACE TWO THE FRANKLIN PRESS AND THE HIGHLANDS MACONIAN THURSDAY, MARCH 2, 1939 W. N. C. Fishing Season Extended The fishing season for all species of fish except trout, in the west of Alleghany, Wilkes and Rutherford counties and west of Highway ivo. 18 in Burke and Caldwell counties, has been extended to April 1st, it was announced today from the Asheville office of the North Car olina division of game and inland fisheries. , The season was originally, set to. close March 1st, but due to a great demand from the people to fish for coarsefish and recent cold weather which will delay spawning .some what, it was concluded that there would be very little harm done to the spawning fish by extending this closed period. The season as now set for large and small mouth bass, bream, crappie and all other spe cies of fish except trout, closed the 1st day of April and extends to June 10th, at which time it opens again. The trout season is now closed and will not open until April 15th. Under special regulations Lake Santeetlah in Graham county is now closed to all fishing and will not open until June 10th. In view of the granting of this extension and the equalizing of the large and small mouth bass season, also the plans for a widespread public restocking program, the divi sion earnestly requests that should any fisherman catch any of the various species of game fish which looks to contain roe or spawn, that they will wet their, hands and care fully release these fish back into the water. Each fish released means the saving of some five or .six thou sand young. E. B. KUGLER, Assistant to Commissioner Div. Game and Inland Fisheries.

Motor car manufacturers have been so impressed by its superior performance that they have adopted it for their 1939 models. Why? Because the Firestone Champion Tire b an entirely new achievement in safety engineering. Stronger Cord Body. This is accomplished first, by the use of a completely new type of tire cord called "Safety-Lock," in which the cotton fibers are more compactly interwoven to assure cooler running and provide greater strength. Then, the fibers in each individual cord, the cords in each ply and the plies themselves, are all securely locked together by a new and advanced Firestone process of Gum-Dipping which provides amazingly greater strength. And greater strength means greater safety. More Non-Skid Mileage. The new Safety-Lock cord construction provides the extra strength needed for the use of the new, thicker, tougher, deeper Firestone Gear-Grip tread which delivers remarkably longer non-skid mileage. This sensational new tread is called "Gear-Grip' because of its unique design it has more than 3,000 sharp-edged angles which grip the road with a sure-footed nold to protect against skidding and assure a safe stop. You need this extra non-skid safety and blowout protection and you need it NOW!
