Smith, president, said the state proposes to hold a continuous open season, beginnin-March 1. In contrast, he said, Minnesota. Illinois and Wisconsin will not open until May 1 and will close their seasons Sept. 15. In other words, he pointed out, this will give out-of-state fishermen two months of fishing in Iowa waters before their own states open, and continuous fishing after their own seasons close Sept.

"Why." he finished, "should we raise trout for three states besides our own?"

Hansen, farmer living two miles northwest of Nasnua on 71 since coming to the after his schooling was ended. He began his sailor's career handyboy, then on the "Hclsing-borg" sailed to London, and from there to Auckland, New Zealand. He subsequently sailed on a num ber of small freighters.

Then he was called into mili' tary service for his country, serv ing nine months during the latter part of the First World War on the German border, and receiving a slight bayonet wound there. He was discharged from the infantry on Dec. 11, 1918. Three years later he was drafted to serve two a member of the Royal Bodyguard This was followed by another period of tailoring on Coming to the United States In the spring of 1927, he made hi. wav westward, taking employ ment -with a Waterloo construction firm, then working on a farm at Garner.

He was employed at the Oliver plant in Charles City on and off for ten years, and worked for Tracey Sc Son their farm two miles south of Nashua. Hv that time he had pretty worked the sea salt out of his blood, and formed a liking for farm work. This led to his decision of having a farm of his own. and in 1943 he bought his present farm of 190 acres. The fact that the farm lies along the Cciar Rivor.

and so gives good opportunity for boating and fishing, no doubt influenced his choice of ownership. In 1935, eight years after coming from Denmark, he was mar-. ncd to Kosanno unier. wno was hom 3 miles south of Nashua and has lived here all her life. The couple have four children.

he found, not because the country' itself had changed, very' progress had been made, but because he himself had changed so greatly since leaving. He has a natural regard for the country' of his birth, but would not wish to exchange his present place and mode of life for those of his earlier years. As he says, it takes people trom countries to really appreciate the opporlunities and liberties of the United States. Mr and LMrs. Hansen are looking forward to 1960.
