Austin—“Good fishin’—got my
limit just like that,” Were the
words most often reported to the
Game Department following the op-
ening of the Texas fishing season
May 1.
Fish had had a favorable spawn-
ing season, according to the Depart-
ment’s chief aquatic biologist, and
the “planting” of something over
11,000,000 fish in Texas lakes and
streams by the Department’s 10
hatcheries contributed at least in
part to the favorable opening day.
Due to the many dams both large
and small found in the State to-
day, the flood waters that zipped
down many streams did little to
mar the hopes of fishermen, accord-
ing to available reports. The Colora-
do River, which feeds the long
stretch of Lower Colorado River
lakes, was extremely muddy when
its waters entered the upper reach-
es of huge Buchanan Lake, but it
succeeded in making only the upper
part of the lake turgig and rela-
tively unfit for an opening day out-
ing. In the middle and lower parts
of the lake the water was clear
and bass, crappie and other fish
were yanked out by the score.
Other lakes in the series—Inks,
Marble Falls, Marshall Ford and
Lake Austin—also provided good
catches. Two hopeful but, because
of their calling, naturally skeptical
newspaper men hurled plugs in
Marble Falls Lake and two of the
several streams that feed it, and
got their limits easily and quickly.
For reasons known to no person,
bass were more partial to minnows
in Lake Austin than to artificial
lures.
Lake Waco anglers reported good
fishing, as did those who cast in
Lake Worth, Eagle Mountain Lake,
_ Lake Bridgeport, and the more
northwesterly Lake Kemp and Di-
version Lake below it. Medina Lake
near San Antonio also was heard
from, some good catches being re-
ported. Stream fishing was report-
ed satisfactory except in flood
areas.
Good fishing is expected in Pos-
sum Kingdom Lake in Palo Pinto,
Stephens and Young Counties when
the season opens on that body of
water June 1st. Anglers now are
catching bass and crappie below the
dam with ease, according to reports.
stock and other turkey predators
have been removed from the area
the birds will quickly multiply and
restore not only that particular re-
gion, but other south-eastern Coun-
ties as well. The Devil’s Pocket
area is relatively untouched by man,
and is lush with proper food and
cover for the birds.
The eastern wild turkey is a real
prize for sportsmen. It is consider-
ed a much more beautiful bird than
the South Texas wild turkey, in co-
loration it is much richer, its
brown is deeper, almost golden and
there are no white tips on the wings
as in the case of the South Texas
turkey.

to see a hillside patterned with
heather.
“Look, mother!” she said.

A Reasonable Request
The meek little man approached
the constable on the street corner.
“Excuse me,” he said, ‘T’ye been
waiting here for my wife for over
an hour. Would you be kind enough
to order me to move on, officer.”

Acid Indigestion
What many Doctors do for it
When excess stomach acid causes gas, sour stomach
or heartburn, doctors prescribe the fastest-acting
medicines known for symptomatic relief—medicines
like those in Bell-ans Tablets. Try Bell-ans yourself,
at first sign of distress. They neutralize acid, relieve
gas, and bring comfort very quickly—yet are not a
laxative! Only 25c. at drug stores. If your very first
trial doesn’t prove BeU-ans better, return bottle to

“Right Here!”
In a strange village I asked a
Vermonter for aid in finding a man.
“Do you know Underwood?”
"Yep.”
“Do you know where he lives?”
“Yep.”
Do' you think he’s at home
now?”
“Nope.’’
“Well, where can I find him?”
“Here. I’m Underwood.”—The
Invincible Romantic.

Salesmanship
A torist stopped in front of a;
little country store, dumbfounded
at the sight of an enormous display
of salt piled on the premises. Stack
after stack, boxes, barrels and
bags. Tons of salt, inside the store
and out. “You must sell a lot of
salt,” exclaimed the tourist. “No,”
I don’t sell much,” replied the
storekeeper, “but you shoulda seen
the guy that came here last week.
He really could sell salt.”—Paul
Tomson, Future.

BOOST FOR TURKEYS
Tfye native eastern wild turkey
formerly abundant over most of
East Texas and especially in the
Big Thicket area but which now is
on the way out if something is not
done to restore it, is getting a big
helping hand from the Game De-
partment, officials said today in an-
nouncing completion of preliminary
work on a project set up in what
is known as the Devil’s Pocket in
Hardin County.
After four months work, an 18-
mile fence has been completed on
the project, hogs and other live-
stock are being removed, and 40
eastern turkeys bought from Alaba-
ma have been released in the en-
closed area to bolster up the pres-
ent turkey population.
It is hoped that when all live-
