The maximum distance

The NOAA program is
working on the premise that’
study of shark populations will
yield in( irmation important to
marine science, sport and
commercial fisheries and
economic planners
Though sharks have been
around in much the same form
for millions of years, sur
prisingly little exact
knowledge is available con-
cerning them
No one has any idea how
many sharks there are and
what effect rommerctal fishing

Letter To The
Editor
This is in reference to Mrs
Jerald L Bjork's letter and her
comments regarding the
"smut" at Minit Stop coun
ler
ARK THE KIDS TO BLAME’’
We read in the paper, we hear
on the air of killings and
stealing and crime
everywhere, We sign and we
say, as we notice the trend,
This young generation where
will it end’’ But can we be sure
it's their fault alone’’—
Too much money to spend: too
much idle time: Too many
movies of passion and crime.
Too many books and
magazines no! fit to he read:
Too much evil in what they
hear said; Too many kids
encouraged to roam: Too
many parents who don’t stay at
home
Youth doesn't make the
movies they don't write the
I looks That paint the gay
pictures of gangsters and
crooks.
They don't make the liquor,
they don't run Ihe bars.
They don't make the laws and
they don't make Ihe cars,
They don't make the drugs that
idle the brain.
It's all done by older folks,
greedy for gain
And how many cases, we find
it's true
The label. "Delinquen-
cy"... fits older folks. Coo!!
—Fanner's Almanac

Dear Editor
The old saying TOO SOON
WE FOKGET seems to come
bark to us so often I remember
that after Celia CPL tried their
dead level best to restore our
electricity by bringing in crews
from Louisiana Arkansas and
no telling where else just so we
could have some of our con-
veniences restored
Can we just turn our backs on
'hem now Maybe they might
think twice if the situation ever
arises again and just try to do
their best with the local crews
which of course will take so
much longer
If Mr Yancey White seem to
think their rate is so high for
Ihe services performed, lias he
t necked on attorneys fees

Concerned citizen for CPL
of the study show
Blue, makos and white
marlins land perhaps sword
fish> follow the same
migratory routes
Sharks such as the blue
travel as much as 1.000 miles in
a year
Migratory routes of male,
female and juvenile sharks
differ and change as the sharks
grow
Some sharks may live to
much older ages than
previously supposed One
shark tagged when six feet long
showed no appreciable growth
seven years later Another
three-to-four year-old shark
tagged at three feel grew only
20 inches when recaptured
after seven years
Shark tagging is only part of
Ihe NOAA's investigation of the
biology and life history of
oceanic game fish Its success
depends on the cooperation of
fishermen along the Atlantic
and Gulf Coasts
Tagging volunteers can
receive materials from the
Narragansett labs and be
advised on how fo plant the
tags and which species are nf
