Fishing Kits Furnished To Men In Service Twenty five thousand recrea tional fishing: kits for service men were ordered today by the Special Service Division of the War Department, thus making official the efforts of the Inter national Game Fish Association at the American Museum ot Natural History in New \ork to provide such kits through pri vate subscription Sportsmen have contributed over sixty thousand dollars to the IGF A campaign which has already pro vided thrity-ione thousand fishing kits for distribution by the Red Cross. It is expected that the War Department order announ ced today will be followed by others so that every fighting man who cares to try his luck in hi hours off duty will have tackle. “Hundreds of thousands of boys abroad want to fish,' said Mr. Michael Lerner, vice presi dent of the IGFA today. "They have time for it. during their hours of leave. They were ang lers at home. They are posted on the finest fishing ranges in the world—rivers and lakes and the shores of the seven seas. Our or ganization realized, as soon as the war began that there would be a large demand for fishing tackle — and. also, that there would be no available shipping space for rods, reels, t-reels, and the usual impedimenta of the an gler. We soon found out that soldiers and sailors, unable to get tackle abroad, were fishing with make-shift hooks — with bent pins, nails, wire,-—and any kind of line they could find. We designed a light, compact kit. The Red Cross volunteered to distribute it to the men overseas And America's civilian anglers at home astonished us bv con tributing over sixty thousand dollars.” The kit, now being officially tNot everybody with * dollai to spare can shoot a gun straight—but everybody can shoot straight to the bank and buy War Bonds.

It is already in use in the far places of the world, contrib uting here an afternoon of re laxation and there a welcome ad dition to frontier larders. Let ters of appreciation are pouring into the IGFA headquarters. Mr. Lerner at the suggestion of ex-Governor Pinehot, had pre viously taken charge of the de development of the emergency life saving fishing kit now stand ard on the life rafts and rubber boats of all the service branches and the merchant marine. In de signing the recreational kit he was assisted by Philip Wylie a writer and member of the IGFA ‘‘Because we knew how many ( men in the service would want a chance at the fish in foreign waters,” Mr. Lerner said, "it was always our hope that the cam paign on which we had privately embarked would by made official Only the government can do the fob properly. Our effort which, through the generosity of folks oil the home front, provided .11. OOOkits was also an attempt to draw this want to the attention of official eyes. As fishermen, we congratulate the Special Service Divisiaon on the quickness with which they appreciated this de sire of the myriads of anglers in the ranks. Fishing is an ideal rest and restorative—a perfect anti dote for the strain and violence of war With a sense of satisfac tion we wish ‘tight lines' to the many thousands of boys the world over — and with deep ap preciation we thank those who contributed to the initial under taking. We know the boys are going to enjoy these kits light an to the day they catch the two biggest fish alive — Hitler and Hirohito.” ORDER YOUR CHRISIMASf CARDS NOW/ ORDER YOUR Y totsomim { ASSORTMENT CHRISTMAS CARDS IN BOXES $1.00 INDIVIDUAL CHRISTMAS CARDS 10c to $1.00 Buy Early!

All truck operators in the na tion are now forbidden by amend ments to three of ODf’s general operations or extend present orders to inaugurate new truck routes or delivery areas without obtaining prior approval of Oll'l trict Manager, Office of Defense adivsed L. F. Manneschmidt, Dis Transportation, Charlotte. The amendments, which were effective Monday, Oct. 25, 19-13, forbid any motor carrier to in hisoperations inm areas or over crease his mileage by extending routes not now served by me All truck operators perform ing oVer-the-road, local cartage and pick-up-and-delivery opera tions are affected. Any of these carriers — pri vate, contract or common, who desires to extend operations 01 establish new ones must first ob tain the approval of the ODT, under these amendments. In the case of puvate and contract operators, prior approv al will not be required for change in routes within a delivery area, I provided the change consists of a | consolidation of existing routes or the substitution of a new route for an existing one. How ever if the consolidation or sub stitution results in enlarge jment of the delivery area or an inciease in total road mileage, prior approval must still be oh All requests for approval of new or extended operations must be made in writing to the carri er's district office of the ODT’s Division of motor transports. Before the ODT district office will approve any such extension | or inauguration of operations the carrier will be required to show that the new service is “necessary to the war effort or to the main tenance of essential civilian economy.” In announcing the new regu lations, Joseph B. Eastman, di rector of the Office of Defense Transportation, said: “The increasingly critical truck situation now makes it mandatory that a careful evalu ation of new operations requir ing that additional truck mileage be made in the light of their val ue to the war effort and the ci vilian economy. ' “Under the regulations now j ordered, this evaluation will be made by the district managers of the Division of Motor Transport who have been instructed to ap prove only tiiose applications which show conclusively that the new or additional operations will aid directly in the prosecution of the war or in the maintenance of the essential civilian economy “All operators will have the right to appeal a district mana ger s decision of course, ilut I hope that operators will not re quest permission to extend their routes or areas unless they thenf selves are convinced that the ad ditional truck mileage is unques tionably necessary to the coun try’s welfare.” Truck Operators Violating Orders Numerous truck operators are violating the new OUT deliv' ery restrictions which went into effect on October 11, L. H. Man neschmidt. District ODT manag er. warned today. Many of the violations were unintentional. he pointed out, in urging all truck operators and the general public as well to fa miliarize themselves with the new regulations. ,A spot check in numerous communities disclosed violations were particularly prevalent on Sunday, Mr. Manneschmidt said. Virtually no Sunday deliveries are permitted. Mr. Manneschmidt emphasized, except ice trucks and certain other carriers who have been exempted by general or specific permits. A recent check by ODT rep resentatives, however, disclosed that many truck operators were found to be hauling members of their families to Visit relatives, or to picnics; others were found tc be driving their trucks down to the office to look over the books, and manv laundry and ice cream trucks were in operation. The recent curtailment of de liveries moans in effect that with certain exceptions, streets shall be clear of all retail and wholesale delivery Vehicles on Sunday. The exceptions include ice trucks, which may deliver daily, vehicles delivering certain perish ables or essential items and trucks loaded to capacity moving from a single point of origin to a single destination to a single con sinee. Such capacity loaded trucks moving from one point to another may deliver on Sunday or any other day. The drastic new regulations were issued to preserve vehicles and tires for essential uses ami all truck operators were urged bv Mr. Manneschmidt to cooper ate in the program. Appalachian Observes Annual Homecoming Appalachian observed the an nual Homecoming event last Saturday, with a smaller crowd than usual, on one of the finest days of the year. Football lack ing, we had, all in all, the finest spirit and the highest type of ex hibits.
