Hatchery Continued from Page Two lish a fish hatchery in Northwestern Pennsylvania. The congressman first introduced a bill to authorize a fish hatchery in 1956 and the Senate action was the combination of efforts to enact this legislation. Rep.

Gavin said: "This hatchery will serve an area that includes the western portion of New York and Pennsylvania as well as the northern part of West Virginia. Within this area lies the Allegheny National Forest, 37 miles long and 43 miles wide, encompassing approximately three- quarters of a million acres of land and containing five hundred miles of streams." Mr. Gavin emphasized that this legislation is authorization of the project to be considered in con nection with the development of the Allegheny River reservoir. After the reservoir is completed, the waters of the lake which will be created, as well as the waters in the Allegheny National Forest, will be subjected to heavy fishing pressure as these waters are within a few hours drive from major cities. Establishment of this hatchery will meet these demands, the congressman said, and should promote the highly beneficial sport of sport fishing for the several million region.

Hubbard, described and mapped a to Titusville for his readers the other day. He told about the Drake Well and Centennial events, then in a good description of Washington's visit to Waterford a century before the well. Unfortunately the map routed travelers by the Turnpike and Route 8 from Pittsburgh to Titusville. What Mr. Hubbard doesn't known is that motorists are avoiding Eight like the plague because of construction.

But what else could he have done? The approved route from Washington involves Route 36, and because the new bridge is not completed at Cook Forest, a long intervenes there, also.

Two trees with burrs have been found in the woods near the farm. Both are approximately 12 or 13 feet high and one has an estimated 200 ripening burrs.

The otber tree has only 30 to 40 burrs on it. The trees are located in a section of the farm, six miles from Titusvilie, where chestnuts were plentiful in the past. Both are growing near the stumps of chestnuts that had to be cut when they were blighted years ago. Fifty to 60 other young trees were also found in the woods, but they are only about three feet high and have no burrs. None of the trees have been planted and no one at the turkey farm knows why so many should suddenly appear.

Two years ago another chestnut tree was found in the same section of the This one, Approximately 30 feet Iwd Leaving France ETAIN, France (AP) Ground personnel from the U.S. Air Force Base at Etain have started moving to West Germany.
