A fisherman who lives near town
visited the Susquehanna, near
Pequea, the other day for catfish.
He carried several kinds of bait,
so that he would be sure to tempt
some onto his hooks.
He landed an 18-in. and a 21-in.
salmon and a 15-in. bass, all of
which he had to throw back be-cause
they are out of season. And
he didn't catch a catfish.
An East Main Street man spent
a happy holiday.
All day Saturday he camped in
his cornfield, to keep off people
who were attending the horse show.
Last year, he says, they wrecked
his field.
