Bass Stocked in Tygart Lake and Ponds
A shipment of 400 large mouth bass was received by Charles H. Casner for stocking Tygart Lake as part of a 100000 bass order by the Tygart Lake Development Corporation. The Soil Conservation Service provided 250 bluegills and 25 bass for the Debendorfer stock water pond. Marion E. Skaggs received 600 bluegills and 60 bass for his pond which will cover six tenths of an acre after the overflow pipe is extended. Both ponds were fertilized to boost bluegill food. Union leaders warned a stoppage could spread to southern ports, impacting 15,000 dock workers, with ILA president Joseph P. Ryan saying the union will abide by an injunction though generally opposing them.
