“I don't see how it’s that much
different than before the freeze,”
George Hull, a commercial fisher-
man, told the Dalias Times Herald

Hull said he had hauled in about
800 pounds of black drum on Thurs-
day, about what he had been lan-

Black drum was one of the most
prominent species killed by the
Christmas freeze, said C.E. Bryan.

Boats will also continue to trawl,
and pilots will make flights to spot
concentrations of dead fish. Also,
interviews with sports fishermen
will be done regularly.
Matlock said he cannot predict
when the evaluation process will
end. but he said there are reliable
ways to determine the financial loss
based on the number of fish killed,
their size and species.
The final estimates should be
available late this week, he said.
"Most of the damage is in fish,”
he said
"Conditions indicate that the ex-
tent of the kill is greater than in
previous kills.”

be.

they had used marijuana in the

The trend toward less marijuana use
among teen-agers is expected to con
tinue when the National Institute on
Drug Abuse releases the results of its
1983 survey of high school seniors next
month
Jerald Bachman, one ol the Univer-
sity of Michigan researchers conduc
ting the survey for the government,
said the decline in marijuana use
parallels an increase in health con-
cerns associated with smoking pot
Thirty-five percent of the respondents
said smoking marijuana was a great
health risk in 1978, compared with 60
percent in 1982
The surveys and studies offer no con-
sensus on whether teen-agers are turn-
ing to other drugs, including alcohol,

Drug less popular among teens
NEW YORK (AP) - After peaking
in the late 1970s. marijuana use con
tinues to decline among American
teen agers, who experience less peer
pressure to "turn on" and are wary of
how pot will affect their health,
government and private studies say.
"We’re finding surprisingly little
drug use among teen-agers in the 14-18
age range They haven't done drugs
and don’t want to do drugs, said Amy
MacDonald, an editor at TeenAge
magazine in Lowell, Mass
Ms MacDonald, whose magazine is
doing a survey on teen-agers' attitudes
toward drugs, said, "The most com-
mon comment is that they don't want
to ruin their bodies ”
Heather Hanson, 16. a junior at
Wheeling Park High School in Wheel
ing, W.Va., said there is plenty of
marijuana available in her school “I
could get it free,” she said. "I have so
many good friends who have surplus. ”
