The mythical Navy of the Great State of Ne braska Is landlocked no more. Long a standing joke with Ne braskans, the Navy Is compos ed of nothing but dry-land ad mirals, with rank bestowed by the Governor.

Boating has also increased on large streams such as the Missouri River. Lewis and Clark Lake, which backs up 37 miles behind Gavins Point Dam on the Missouri Ri ver, is typical of the large Ne braska reservoirs. Located on the Nebraska-South Dakota bor der, the reservoir is five miles southwest of Yankton, S.D. Sailboats, motorboats, cabin cruisers they all cruise the 33,000 acres of the lake.

Barbee, Game Com mission land management chief, has announced. Due to an excess of applica tions for blind sites on the area, the drawing was set for Sept. 1. All requests received by the Lin coln office of the Game Com mission by this time (today) were to be Included in the draw ing. Applicants did not need to be present. The Gifford - Fontenelle area is managed by the Game Com mission as an Inviolate forest refuge and public waterfowl -hunting area. From six to seven miles of river frontage on the Missouri River will be open to waterfowl hunting this fall. A strip of land along the river to about 200 feet back will be main tained as a public hunting area. Those successful in the blind drawing may build blinds at designated spots along the river, and maintain them for the sea son, after which they must be removed Under the agreement, if the blinds are not occupied by a specified time each day, they are open to the first com er. The Game Commission ac quired rights to maintain Gif-ford-Fontenelle earlier this sum mer. The area consists general ly of that land in northeastern Sarpy County bounded on the west by the west boundary of the Fontenelle Forest and on the north, east and south by the Missouri River. Under agreement with the Board of Trustees of Fontenelle Forest and Dr. Harold Gifford, Omaha, the Game Commission will carry out plans for the op eration of a wildlife sanctuary in return for opening up cer tain areas for public use. Access will be by boat and foot trail only. Hunting will be limited to mi gratory waterfowl, although the area has many potentials for fishing and other activities. WA:S'S::v:v (tfosphvq.
