FISHING TACKLE CURTAILED
WPB officials consoled the na-
tion’s fishermen by pointing out
that “the stores are chock-full of
tackle,” when they issued the recent
order banning the use of metals,

ial fishing tackle made after May
31. Sinc-e most tackle cannot be
manufactured without the use of
such materials, the order will mean
the end of fishing-tackle production

tion is fishing hooks, which may be
produced for three months, begin-
ning June 1, at a rate of 50 per cent
of last years output,
