was a notification that in accordance
with a vote of Council at the July
meeting the property owner could de-

"Complaints have been reccived

Littlc Creek, on the Jersey coast, was
' infested Sunday with ninc of Nar-
berth's worst fishermen. Commenc-
ing early in the day, they worked in
• shifts of fivc each, hauling in the fin-
ny denizens of the deep. Only a short-
age of bait prevented them from de-
populating an entirc school. In addi-
tion to a kindergarten class, the lish-
ers caught ]25 scholars, ranging from
the first to the eighth grades.
Ernest Boulay and "Gyp" Gillespie
drove to the shore with the following
crew: Richard G. L. Moritz, Taylor
Henry, Charles F. Ebert, M. Jenkins,
C. Wolff, P. Miesen and Joe Dold.
P. Miesen was awarded a fish-lined
vanity case by the other fishermen,
for having caught the hcavicst fish.
"A wet line did it!" he cxclaimed.
He cxplained that he always uses a
wct line when he goes fishing, bccause
it makes thc bait more tempting to
thc fish.
The heaviest fish, which won for
Micsen his magnificcnt tro!>hy, was
weighcd by him on its own scales.
Although its net weight would prob-
ably have been less, its total weight,
including fin, heads, etc., was found
to be at least one and threc-quarter,
fahrenhcit.
