Paralyzing of Rough
Fish at Swan
AMELIA—A large crowd was
on hand Saturday, May 17. to
watch the game commission’s
renovation work at S.wan lake
southwest of here.
An estimated 400 to 500 autos
appeared at the lake which is
the first of six sandhills lakes to
have the rough fish destroyed by
toxicant preparatory to restock
ing with game fish. There were
dozens of motor boats, including
some large ones, and men and
women, some from more than
one hundred miles away, were
armed with nets, spears and
even shovels.
Occasionally the women were
seen cleaning and ice - packing
the take while the men were
hauling ’em in.
Burlap sacks and washtubs
were in evidence around the
shore.
Robert Thomas of North Plat
te, formerly of O'Neill, helped
direct the operation. He is with
the tisnenes division or ine si cue
game commission. The toxicant
left a cloud of dust over the
lake for the early .arrivals. The
dust paralyzes the fins of the
fish and caused carp to surface
almost immediately. Hundreds of
carp were taken and quite a few
bullheads. Game fish, such as
northern pike, were few, but
some were taken late Saturday
and Sunday. Fishing enthusiasts
were disappointed there were
not more northerns in Swan.
One unidentified fisherman took
home one hundred bullheads.
Last fall the H A. and R. E.
Van Horn lake, northwest of Ew
ing, was given similar treatment.

Tire Blowout
Surprises Driver—
Shortly after 1 p.m., Tuesday
Frank Summers, driver of a
westbound truck, had the sur
prise of his life at the corner of
Fourth and Douglas sts., the
city’s main intersection.
An inside dual tire “blew out"
and sent the outside tire and
wheel rolling up the steps at the
First National Bank.
The errant wheel failed to
gain admission at the bank, rol
led to a lazy stop and sulked on
the sidewalk.
Summers, an O'Neill trucker,
was thankful on two counts: ill
the blowout didn't occur on the
open road while traveling at a
good clip; (2> the wayward
wheel didn’t strike a pedestrian.
The driver had stopped at the
traffic signal and was pulling
through the intersection when
the bang occurred.

CAB Approves Air
Service for Area
Ainsworth, Norfolk
Closest Stops
The civil aeronautics board in j
Washington Monday approved a
series of local airline routes for
Nebraska including a route that f
extends from Omaha westward
to Lincoln, Columbus, Norfolk,
Ainsworth, Valentine and Chad-1
ron, all state points, and on into
Wyoming to Lusk and Casper.
In general the service was all
that the state, now entirely with
out air feeder service, had asked
for.
The CAB order substitutes local
service for United Air Lines
trunk service at Grand Island,
North Platte and Seottsbluff.
The board vote included these
routes:
FRONTIER AIRIJNES
Northern Nebraska route, tern- j
porary.
Denver, Colo., to Rapid City, |
S. D., via Seottsbluff, Alliance
and Chadron, permanent.
Southern Nebraska route, Den
ver to Omaha, via Sidney, North
Platte, Imperial, McCook, Kear
ney, Hastings, Lincoln, tempor
ary.
Central Nebraska route, Den
ver to Omaha, via Seottsbluff,
Alliance, North Platte, Grand
Island, Lincoln, permanent.
Omaha to Kansas City, Mo.,
via Lincoln. Beatrice, permanent.
OZARK AIRLINES
Chicago to Sioux City, via
Omaha, permanent.
Omaha to Sioux Falls, via Nor
folk, Yankton, permanent.
The seven-st ate-case — in which
the Nebraska routes were a par
cel had been pending two years.
Earlier this year a CAB examin
er had failed to recommend the
north-Nebraska route on grounds
of insufficient potential.
Trunk lines pulling out of
Grand Island and North Platte
is considered a blow to the state.
United Air Lines, observers say,
want only the long hauls.
Local feeder routes will be fly
ing small craft. Ainsworth and
Norfolk will be the nearest stops
and sendee is expected to be in
augurated in August or Septem
ber on a “use it or lose it” basis.
O'Neill is not included as a
stop at present. However, air
craft will be using the new short- J
wave radio directional device

airport.
