Santa wrote Mayor Howell telling
him of the date and has asked him to

Santa also stated that he had a

tubs, milk cans and beds of trucks
were used to carry the fish homo

A large gold fish was displayed in
a glass jar in Jerry Liner's store
that had been caught in the lake.
Fish "stories were going the com

that had been caught. It was report

pounds were taken out of the waters
and eFght pound bass were common

with proper evidence in most cases

most of the fish were floundering
helplessly in the canals and along the
bank of the lake.
