WILL WAGE WAR ON ms VANDALS
Harri,-burg —In keeping wilh his avowed intention of making safety a paramount con-ideration in his department, Warren VanDyke, S c- retary of Hishway-, today launehed a cainp,iign upon per-ons who mali- ciou-ly damage or destroy safely .signs placed along the highway sy¬ stem. This reckle.-s disregard for the Uvea of lra\eIor- ha.-) grown to a point where more than 10,000 signs were destroyed in the last year, ac¬ cording to a partial check.
The mutilation- range from ac¬ cidental damage by passing cars and trucks, to the deliberate b«'nd- ing of the lighter metal signs. In many cases the markers have been made the targets either of gun¬ ners or of persons throwing stones.
Although the damage is scattered all over the State available infor¬ mation shows Westmoreland county leading the list wilh a total of 1529 signs destroved In some dis¬ tricts where accurate figures arc not available, superintendents have c.-timated the damage as affect¬ ing 75 per cent of tlieir total signs
Secretary VanDyke asks that every person Join in a campaign to pr<>>erve the-,, -igns—many of whieh mark dangerous curves and intersections—in the interest-, of safe motor travel

H.irrisburg—Many inquiries have been received at the Fiih Commis- sloji concerning legal methods for the taking of live bait from public waters for fishing purposes.
Stone catfish, minnows and other bait fl.sh may be legally taken only i)v three methods, Tli*? first of these Is with a minnow net not ovor four feet square or four feet in diameter, Tlie second is by hook and line fishing, a fisherman to u>e not more than two rods and lines with not more than three hooks attached to each line Rods, hooks and lines must be under the immediate control of the person using same. The third method Is by a minnow trap, having not more than one opening, which shall not exceed one Inch in diameter.
After September 1, this year, the Commission explained, it will be no longer legal to purchase or offer for sale any bait fish or fish bait taken from the public waters. An angler desiring to fish live batt, liowever, is permitted under the new law to catch such bait fish or fish bait himself, so long as he does not havp more than llftv bait lisli or fish bait in possession at any one time
