This kind- of skill I have never had. Yes. I have captured night crawlers, but usually my harvest falls far below that of my father, a man I consider a true professional at this game. As with most novices at the trade. I am too anxious.

Thousands of years of evolution have made the worm a great challenge. If the flashlight rests on him too long, he disappears. And if the pounce of the hunter is too slow, the effort is lost. You may grab a piece of the worm, but by that time it has the advantage. You lose.

With practice and patience, going for worms can be rewarding. First, it means the fisherman won't have to dig up the lawn for bait the next morning. It also means the fisherman won't have to pay the SI a dozen some fishing tackle stores charge for "Nightcrawlers, Imported from Canada." (What red-blooded American fish would chomp on a foreign import?) The real reward comes on the river, lake or stream where the night crawler does its best work. Just slip it on a hook, leaving the ends to dangle seductively, and let it do the job. Pave New Roadway At a special meeting of the Saxton Borough Council held last evening, the borough fathers adoped a resolution to accept a petition for the take over of an unimproved street in the Broad Top Industrial Park.

According to the petition, which was submitted by the Broad Top Chamber of Commerce. Council agreed to take over the unimproved slreet which will extend from the present Horton Drive in Ihe Park to the parking lot of Ihe industrial shell building, now leased by Sepa. Inc. The unnamed road will run 280 feet in a northwest to southeast direction and is 24 feel wide on a 60-foot right-of-way. According to the petilion.

Council also agreed lo "pave and otherwise improve" the street through its county liquid fuels Council authorized L.C. Anderson and Sons of Huntingdon, who arc presently working on the shell building, lo perform Ihe grading work on Ihe road, at a cost not to exceed S500. Work is expected to begin immediately. Council also approved a motion lo advertise for bids for necessary street work and blacktopping on the road, according to PcnnDOT specifications. The bids will be opened on May 20 at 7 p.m.

In olher aclion. Council voled lo advertise for bids for Ihe borough's summer slreet repair program, with a provision thai certain repairs be deleted if there is not adequate money available. The bids will also be opened on May20at7p.m Council also adopled a resolution establishing a charge for administrative costs at the rate of 10 percent of the total cost for any building pertaining lo waler service olher lhan regular water bills. Approval was also given for a water service connection to the election house in Stonerstown. Attending the session were Councilmen Carl Anderson.

and presidenl George Moglc. as well as Police Chief Steve Bollinger and Secretary Faith Elder. The worm fisherman doesn't have to worry about elaborate casting techniques. Nor does he have to wiggle and tug his line to give some imitation the look of life. Probably the best part about it is thai all you have to do is loss Ihe line into the water, anchor the rod so a big fish doesn't jerk it into the slream, and sit back and read a newspaper or a good book until a hungry trout, catfish or bass gobbles up the worm.

The whole process is good for the soul. Tool Box, Pistol Taken From Truck A tool box containing $200 worth of tools and a nine-shot .22 pistol were stolen last night from a Chevrolet pickup truck at Chestnut Terrace, Mount Union. The loot was taken from the truck owned by Thomas Yancey, K-4, Federal Drive, Mount Union. The vehicle was parked near his dwelling. Mount Union police said the theft occurred between 8:30 p.m..
