The bass they caught were so large that they put pop entirely In th shade. Mrs. Rose Reuss of Marshall fished in Lyon Lake, Calhoun County, with a worm-baited No. 8 hook. All she.

expected was bluegills then a big fish struck. "I let the fish run, not knowing what I had on the line. Then I pulled up slowly until the fish lay on the surface. I put my hands under the gills and pulled it into the boat," she said. IT WAS A five-pound, nine-ounce smallmouth bass, 21 inches long, 16 Inches girth, the biggest small-mouth to enter this division.

"What a fish to catch!" she added. "Now fishermen are on 'the lake every day trying to catch one like it." Mrs. Ruth Atkinson of Alpena also was fishing for bluegills when she landed a bass. It was fn Long Lake, Alpena County. She had been catching bluegills on worms and had only one minnow in the boat.

She baited up, tossed out the minnow, and caught a 19-inch smallmouth bass. nam ww omnm Uimimi- 1 .11 I uuun I 1 1 -I.

'Because we feel the public is not ready for biologically-based deer management, actual quotas recommended are cut in half, totaling 37,230." IIIL'S RETORT says that biological quotas would allow for 22,000 antlerless deer in the Upper Peninsula and 52,000 below the Straits. Actual quotas recommended are 7,730 for the Upper Peninsula and 29,500 for the northern half of the Lower Peninsula. "In arriving at these quotas." says Ruhl, "biological considerations have been weighed against the very real facts of public opinion, a considerable segment of which is opposed to any so-called doe shooting. "On the other hand, representatives of two large hunting Hubs appeared at the July meeting to urge that quotas in their areas be liberal enough to allow them to balance deer population with actual food supplies." The special "antlerless" seasons would coincide with the regular seasons for hunters who hold special permits.

Permits would be issued for 32 specific areas. As in 1960 when requests for permits exceeded the available number, permittees would be selected in a drawing. The largest single area in the Lower Peninsula would be the Alpena -Millersburg area, including 1,247 square miles with 6,236 expected hunters and a quota of 3,113 antlerless deer. Hunt, Fish License Sales Dip LANSING Sales of, hunting and fishing licenses dropped in 1961, according to final figures compiled by the State Conservation Dept. Total receipts were $6,973,900, the lowest figure since 1956 and $355,000 less than 1960.

Most of the decline was in the sale of regular deer licenses: 426,255. compared with 460,915 in 1960. Small-game licenses fell 20,000, totaling about 627,500. There were 32,740 archers, 4,000 less than in 1960. Fishing license sales declined for the seventh straight year.

Residents bought 739,000 licenses, compared with 752,000 in 1960. Trout fishermen purchased 187,500 stamps. 2,700 less than in 1960. Non-residents bought 83,400 temporary licenses and 105,150 annual licenses for a total drop of 11,500.

SEVEN-YEAR-OLD Steven R. Hein of Rogers City caught an 18U-inch small-mouth bass in Lake Nettie, Presque Isle County, on worm and spinner. The bass weighed three pounds, one ounce.

Phil Lemmer of Manistee entered a 12-pound, 10-ounce brown trout 30 inches long, 17 inches girth, caught in the Little Manistee River on a caddis fly. This is the biggest fly-caught brown trout to be entered in the Free Press Contest since 1956 when Henry Otto of Dayton won with a 15-pounder, 32 inches long.

The 6-foot, 2-inch, 243-pound all-star was waived out of the Canadian Football League this week by the Toronto Argonauts for disregarding curfew regulations.

(UPI) John (Soapy) Watters, 52, Harvard track great and member of the 1924 Olympic team, died suddenly at his home WILL. THE EFFORT to establish a national system of wilderness die in this 87th Congress? That is the question that conservationists throughout the country are beginning to ask not only of themselves, bu also of their representatives in Washington. The "Wilderness Bill" (S. 174 by Senator Clinton P. Anderson of New Mexico) is one of the most important conservation bills ever to be introduced in Congress.

It passed the Senate by a vote of 78-8 last September. It was then referred to the House Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs. The committee held its hearings and is now supposed to be "marking up" the bill Trior to handing it to the full committee for action. But there seems to be no action. Committee chairman Wayne X.

Aspinall of Colorado promises the bill will be reported out with changes, but it is still in the subcommittee of which Bep. Gracie Pfost of Idaho is chairman. Last Tuesday this sub-committee met in executive session but kept the wilderness bill bottled up. THE WILDERNESS BILL IS OPPOSED by mining, lumbering and other commercial groups, despite the fact that it sets up no new wilderness areas, creates no new federal agencies, takes no private land from the tax rolls. It simply sets up legislative sanction for keeping unspoiled for generations to come some of the country already in national forests, wildlife refuges and parks.

The case for the Wilderness Bill is fully presented by Howard Zahniser, executive secretary for the Wilderness Society, in a 73-page statement he made to the House Committee in May. (Ha will send you a copy for the asking. Address: 2144 P. Washington, 7, D.C.) Anyone who travels the United States can see how the works of man are taking over. Unless specific plans are laid to preserve the remnants of wilderness, even these remnants will disappear in time.

We owe our children better than that. Young people should know the wilderness, if only for a once-in-a-lifetime experience. If they do not then wish to return, or if later they come to a time when they are no longer able to endure or enjoy the experience, they should see that the wilderness is preserved for their children and theirs, and theirs, on and on. "IN THIS BESPECT, our wilderness areas are like art galleries." says Zahniser. "None of us feels for example, that the National Gallery of Art is just for a few people, or even the crowds who are there at a particular time.

We maintain it for everybody. "Sooner or later, everyone who is concerned can visit it, and for many of them it is a once-and-forever experience. That is also true of our wilderness areas." The Senate was so thoroughly in favor of giving Congressional approval to the Wilderness Bill. The House would probably give it enthusiastic endorsement. Yet such is the legislative process that the House Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs can bottle it up.

There is still a chance that the committee may report out the bill. If it does not, the House will have no opportunity to vote on it. Then all the hearings, all the work by thousands of conservationists, all the istters that were written, will have been in vain. The whole job will have to be done over again next year.
