The spring phase of New York state’s annual trout-stocking pro­gram neared an end last week with the final tons of over-win­tered yearling fish slated to leave the hatcheries. The trout were consigned to the larger streams.

• * *More than 550,000 pounds of

trout will have been stocked by fall. The fish represent the output of the state’s 16 trout hatcheries. New York has stocked more than 1,000 trout streams, 500 ponds and lakes by airplanes, boats and a fleet of 40 specially equipped trucks.

MOUNTAIN DEW

The pretty, white, thin-petaled shad blossoms of a week ago have come loose and dropped to the ground, their duty completed for another year. In their place the hot summer weather of a week has brought forth heavily scented blossoms of apple trees.

• » »While the fruit of wild apple

trees differs from the cultivated Vcirieties, the blossoms of the wild carry as sweet perfume as the cultivated.

* * *Wide-spreading limbs of a wild

apple tree, in full bloom half way up a mountain psisture, offer a pretty picture. The limbs have not been trimmed for best fruit growth. They carry more blos­soms than trees tailored by man in February.

* ♦ *The valley of the Hudson has

been sweetened by the great apple orchards on either bank of the river for several days previous to the present week. Next of the ctMnmercial orchards to be in blosscHn win be those of Lake CSiamplain vaUeys. They are 10 days later than the Hudson.

* • •The delicate, sweet-scented pink

and white blossrans are the fore­runners of a New York apple crop of 15,000,000 bushels. New York apples include Baldwin, Del̂ dous, Qntland, Mc In t o sh , Milton, Northem, Spy. Northwestei^ Rhode Island Careening, Rtnne Beauty.

The U. S. Bureau of Public Roads finds that highway enforce­ment officers place too much emphasis on minor speed viola­tions. Two miles over the limit goes on the violator’s card as speeding. On the license it is not different from 100 miles per hour.

* * *In stealing there are petty

larceny and grand larceny. But there is no petty speeding, no grand speeding. 'The law recog­nizes only speed.

* * *Camping, ultimate in outdoor

living for that larger army each season, is starting. The state has 30 ceimpsites which wiU accom­modate a total of 40.000 daily. This figures four to a tent andsix to a table.

*. * *There are 6.000 stone fireplaces,

8 000 bench-table combin^ons, enough sanitary facilities to take care of a city large as Poughkeep­sie. This does not include leantos picnic places and the like.

The four nearest this part of the Catskills are Woodland Valley campsite, the Beaverkill. North Lake, Gilbert Lake.

Cozy CornerBy Mary Louise

Has your spring cleaning in­cluded storing winter things and getting out the summer cottons? Tried any on yet, the summer cot­tons, that is ? Do they feel a little snug around the hips? No, they didn’t shrink, girls, you just ex­panded a little. (3et on the bath­room scales and really take a look without excusing yourself for shoes, sweaters, etc. I ’ll bet all of us gained a little over the winter!

You probably don’t see how you could gain an ounce with all of the work you do. but eating just an extra slice of bread, a handful of peanuts, or pretzels, or potato chips. Or a slice of your ovm home­made pie (or anybody else’s for that matter) will add up and up and up. Finally it vnll be pounds not ounces that you’re adding.

In keeping with these distress­ing thoughts. New York cele­brated its tenth annual nutrition week with the theme “Food Makes the Difference.” and there’s no denying, it does. It helps to keep our bodies running well, repairs damages, promotes growrth; weU, it’s just the most important thing in our lives. As nobody has dis­covered a substitute for gasoline in running a car, nobody has dis­covered a substitute for fOod. Perhaps when we conquer space there will be food substitutes found.

But right now we want to con­sider some of us who have stoked up the ol’ engine a little too much and put on a few poimds.

How to reduce? Well, it’s like most everything else in life, takes a little work, perserverance. self denial and self discipline.

No diet fads or diet aids will do it. Oh, they may do it for while, but not permanently

A story in the May issue of Popular Mechanics says the sea lamprey, which has devastated the Great Lakes fishing, is doomed by chemical science. 'ITie U. S. Fish and Wildlife and chemical ep>erts say they have found a weapon deadly to the lamprey larvae at the spawning grounds. The poison is harmless to other fish and imderwater life.

* * *The take of fish from the Great

Lakes 30 and more years ago was 100,000,000 pounds annually. To­day, little or nothing. After the lake trout were killed the lamprey began to destroy walleyes, white- fish, suckers, chubs and the like. The killing chemical is named Dowlap.

* * *I f Dowlap does what is expected

and the lampreys are killed in the Great Lakes it, wUl require 10 years of stocking yearling trout before the species can maintain itself.

* ♦ *This section is particularly in­

terested in the lamprey because trout in the Pepacton reservoir were destroyed by them the first two years after the big lake was filled WUdlife men were not able to say whether or not the lamprey would be able to maintain itself in fresh water as it has in tiie Great Lakes. But lamprey scars on reservoir trout lessen each year. They may soon become extinct.

Anybody would believe him.

David Sive, who has a camp on the Burton Hall farm in the Mill- brook valley, wrote a delightful article, “Undiscovered Cheirms of the Catskills,” in Sunday’s New York Times. Mr. Sive wiU be re­called by many local folks as the man who walked the highways of the CatskiUs last fall when he was candidate for Member of Congress.

* * *We quote three paragraphs from

The Times article:“In the Catskills I sleep out­

side of the lean-to, climb a moun­tain at night, and roam off trails and roads without plan or cal­culation. Being lost is a delight, because it lasts only a few hours, imtil one reaches the floor of any deep valley and the cowpath or old woods road, or trail which leads to a road that the gasoline companies’ map makers dignify by symbolizing it as such.

* • •“Nor do I rfeed or want a guide­

book to tell me where to go in the Catskills. I f one wants to go to places in order to tell others that he has been there, or because some authoritative source says it is the place to go to, he does not go to the ‘real’ Catskills.

* * *“One difficulty about spreading

word about the charm of the CatskiUs is that there is not a particular place or site to point out— n̂o Great Stone Face, no Summit House, no memorial high­way. There is no single outstand­ing feature, simply because the scenic beauty is spread throughout the area.”

depending on age, two or more servings of meat, four or more servings of fruit and vegetables, and four or more servings of foods in the cereals and carbohydrates.

Start out by cutting dovm on your portions, no need to cut down on the family’s imless they want to take off a few pounds also. Next eliminate the sweets and pastries, and substitute some raw or canned fruit instead. I f you are eating the canned fruit, forget the s^rup. I f you eat lots of butter or margarine on your bread and potatoes, cut d < ^ to almost nothing and that will dis­courage your bread and potato eating automatically. Don’t starve yourself the first day and then go way overboard the seamd. I f you feel hungry betwe«i ineals have a saltine or graham cracker. Don’t get discouraged i f you don’t lose even a pound the first week, takes time. Just keep thinking how much better you’U look in that bathing suit or pair of shorts (that are bursting at the seams right now).

The story is told of a mountain mason, now deceased, who was an artist at laying stone, block and brick. It was his daily ritual while on the job to consume bottle of gin during the course of the week. At quitting time he would take one last pull tp empty the bottle, then seal it in the waU covered with mortar.

Ladies Aid annual June dinner wiU be held in the church kitchens Wednesday, June 3, and will be a roast turkey affair. It vnU be clean-up day for the men folks. ’The church, grotmds and shrubbery came through the wm- ter in good shape. Last year the deep snow brought much rodent damage. ’This season one juniper tree froze out and that seemed to be the extent of the casualties.

Many black bass, often large ones, are being taken from the East Branch between the reser­voir and Kass inn. A spedal regulation aUows the bass to be taken in any quantity, any size from streams flowing into the Pe­pacton reservoir during the trout season. The bass must not be taken above the high water mark of the reservoir.
