THE CORSICANA '(TEXAS) SEMI-WEEKLY LIGHT. FRIDAY, AUGUST 9, 1946. THREE REGULAR MEALTIME HABITS FOR GOLD FISH VERY IMPORTANT TO OWNERS, BUT FISH INDIFFERENT R. S. READING NAMED HEAD OF COMMUNITY CHEST ORGANIZATION By MVKStAY OltMAN Tlally Sun Staff.

Gold fish are little dumbbells. This conclusion was not reached after profound thought. It was un inescapable conclucion that occur to anybody who hag gold fish and nothing better to do than sit and watch them. Gold fish have less to do than nny other creature you could pos- name oven if you took bi- olftgy in high school nnd know the names of lots of creatures. And what little they do have to do seems to tax their Intellect.

Fish Must Eat. Gold fish swim around in a glass bowl and eat when, you feed them. At least you would think that they would eat. Everything 1'iat is animate eats. Nothing else is expected of Bold fish.

But they have trouble getting the idea tnat they are supposed to cat, although thev do seem uble to meditating about it. The of fish food pays that gold fish are members of the carp family and that it is unnatural lor members of the carp family to cat anything on the top the water. They are bottom eaters. Inside the box are small pebble- like bits of food you are suppsoed to drop in the bowl at a certain hour of the day. in Feeding.

"Gold fish must be fed at the, same hour every day. Then tlu-y will know when to expect their feed and will look for it," says the. box. Some gold fish may know time their food is supposed to dropped in the bowl and look for it at thai time, but these particular gold fish have never been taught how to tell the time. They come to the top, gulp air, nnd look at you In a neglected, forlorn manner at nil hours of the day.

But when you drop fcod to them at the regular feeding time, they Ignore it completely unless it sails right by their noses. Takes Much Practice. Dropping food so that It will sail rls'nt paM. the nose of a swimming: gold fish is a foat that takes much practice, especially the food does not sink readily but floats around on top for awhile, as it usually does. it sinks to tho bottom and lodges among the pretty pink and blue rocks that custom dictates must be kept at the bottom of a fish howl, the gold fish usually do not fir.fi It.

That makes thorn look even more forlorn and neglected. They bump around on the bottom of the standing on their heads ar.ri probably ab- aorb considerable quantity of Pebbles before they get to the food. It Is never all consumed and the fish food people say that any food they don't eat should be Picked up at once. Quantity Never Same. That is fine, but when? it takss them 12 hours to get around to fating all they want.

And quantity they consume is never the aame. It depends on tho amount they find. The box also says that Sold fish should have a definite amount of 'ood and no more. Tho people who make tho fish food probably have had no experience with an aggressive gold fish who up his share and nn'oops out to grab the food you drop for the other fish ns well, snatching off feres to head the community chest for the year 1946-47 were I selected In a meeting of the board of directors at the Chamber of Commerce this morning.
