Boating Deadline Is April 1st LINCOLN Nebraska boat owners have only until April 1 to register their craft for 1963, reminds M. O. Steen, game com mission director. Applications for registration are coming ln slowly, and time is growing short, he said. Registration procedures are the same as in 1962. Application and information leaflets are a vailable at county clerk ind trea surer offices, from all fishing and hunting permit vendors, and at Game Commission office.3. The new boat decals are black and international orange. They are to be applied in the same place as the 1962 decals in th? same horizontal plane and to the left 0 trie state identifica tion numbers. Certification of assessments and payment of taxes appear on the boat application form. These certificates must be completed and signed by the county trea surer to make sure the individ ual is not delinquent in any per sonal taxes. The county assessor will then verify that the boat has been assessed for 1963. All certificates must be completed bv the coun ty assessor and treasurer ln the county where the boat is subject to taxation. New boat owners niay operate without numbers or decals only seven days from the date of pur chase, Steen said, but during that time they must have a 1 1 .

Table Tennis Spring Fishing's Just around the Corner LINCOLN With spring fish- in? Just around the corner, it's time for the angler to get his rod and reel Into working order, the Game Commission said. It won't be long now until all the lakes are ice-free. And added attraction for anglers ln Eastern Nebraska will be the opening of Two Rivers Recre ation Area April 1. Some suggestions given by the Commission in preparing for fishing onslaught are cleaning and oiling the reel with light oil dated bill of sale ln their "pos-" or grease for a smooth cast. The session. s m M I Commission advises checking the line, too. A weak spot could let that "once In a lifetime" fish keep his freedom. A look into the tackle box will determine if it contains plenty of sharp hooks, sinkers, bobbers, lures, and leader material. Dull hooks on plugs can be sharpened ln a few minutes. Metal lures which are tarnished can be made to look like new with brass or silver polish. A few spots of pplnt can do remarkable things for lures which have been chipped. While the Nebraska weather Is still deciding what it Is going to do, the angler can bring out his hip waders and test for possible leaks. Discovery of a hole while standing ln a stream can be an uncomfortable experience. Landing nets should be re placed if the netting appears rotten, the Commission said. An other factor to keep in mind is that It is now a state law that each fisherman have his own stringer and keep only his own fish on it. But before heading for that favorite fishing spot, the angler should be sure he has his $2 fish ing license. ferred the wild turkey. The United States Govern ment from 1917 to 1952 paid hunters In Alaska a bounty to kill the bald eagle as a pernici ous predator. More than 100,000 were slaughtered. It was not until 1940, 158 years after it had been honored by the Congress, that the bald eagle received legal protection ln all the existing states. All-American Bird Eagle fanciers maintain that the bald eagle (Halleetus leuco cephalus) is a most appropriate American emblem. It is native to North America, rarely ven tures outside the United States except to friendly Canada. Strong and swift, the eagle Is as majestic as any bird aloft. Though a bird of prey, "Baldy" is scarcely more raoaci ous than a sparrow. It lives mainly on fisn and has such good eyes that from three miles up It can spot a dead one float ing on a lake. The bald, eagle mates for life snd returns annually to its huce nest. A nest ln Ohio was used for 35 years, weighed two tons. One house-proud eagle furnish ed Its eyrie with scavenged li"ht bulbs, spark plugs, candles, sheets, magazines, and a family photograph in a heavy frame.

"She can come Inside and sit on my knee, If she likes," said a passenger, jocularly, and, to his great surprise, In bounced a buxom woman, who forthwith appropriated the offered knee. After a time the man got into a conversation with his burden, and asked her where she was going. On hearing her destina tion, he exclaimed, '"Bless me, that's my house!"
