To Cut Third Pass.
Cutting of a pass at Murdock
Landing through Padre Island
from the Gulf into Baffin Bay
is expected to send a con-
stant flow of "sweet" salt water
through the length of the La-
guna Madre. Work on the pass
by the Texas Game. Fish and
Oyster Commission's dredge, the
AE, will get under way the
first week in December. Work
on the 10,000-foot cut, which
will be more than 100 feet wide,
will require five months.
The game department has al-
ready cut and is maintaining
passes at Corpus Christi and
Cedar Bayou. With the com-
pletion of the pass at Murdock
Landing, the flow of salt water
through the three passes and
the Laguha should be nearly
constant, it is believed. The
eastern passes are fifty miles
from Murdock.
The game department dredge,
after completing work at Cor-
pus Christi Pass and Cedar
Bayou, was reconditioned at
Rockport and towed to Mur-
dock Landing. Unless passes
are maintained through the is-
lands, fish die through drought
years by the tens of thousands
in the Laguna Madre, which
is considered the greatest nat-
ural spawning bed for salt
water fish along the coasts
of the United States. Dead
fish lined the shores of the
Laguna in 1939, when there was
very little flow of fresh water
from the land side. Few flsh
died in the Laguna last sum-
mer.
Cutting of the pass at Mur-
docks was made possible by the
cooperation of Burton Dunn,
Corpus Christi banker and cat-
tleman, who formerly owned
Padre Island, and who retains
grazing rights on it. His con-
sent to the cutting of the pass
was necessary before the work
could be started.
Fewer Hunting Accidents.
While no figures are avail-
able on the number of hunters
killed or wounded in Texas
during the hunting season, vet-
eran observers in the game
department said recently that
there are codsiderably fewer
accidents in woods and fields
than there were a decade
ago.
The game department wages
an intensive campaign each
year to prevent accidents.

Morale of Selectees
Praised by General

dens are constantly warning
hunters to handle their fire-
arms with care.
Austin.—Back Monday from
the Army reception center at
Dodd Field where he was guest
of officers commanding train-
ing of newly arrived selectees,
state director of selective ser-
vice, J. Watt Page, was en-
thusiastic in his praise of the
processing of the nation's new
man power.
"During a long military ser-
vice, I have trained and watch-
ed the development of young
men being made into soldiers,"
General Page said, "but I have
yet to see a finer display of
morale or men who showed
more interest in a training

commercial fishermen will of-
fer little objection due to the
fact that the market for trout
is so sporadic that they find
it necessary to create a market
every time there is a good run
of trout.
E. L. McGlothlin of Dallas
was this week made manager
of the market department of
the local A & P store. He suc-
ceeds D. G. O'Connor.

program than is evidenced at
the model reception center at
Dodd Field.
"The transition of selectees
from the time they arrive at
the reception center until they
are ready for assignment to a
unit as competent and well-
trained soldiers is truly re-
markable. There is little in
the way of living facilities, kit-
chens, barracks and the gen-
eral welfare of the men that
could be asked for."

Trapping Still Successful.
Despite the fact that there
is more natural food for deer
in Southwest Texas than there
has been for many winters,
trapping of deer by the Texas
Game Department by use of new
individual traps continues to i
be successful. The first three
weeks of trapping brought 151
deer into the traps. They are
transported to areas suitable
for raising deer, but from which
they have been shot out.
The new traps, of which the
department will soon put all
its 122 in operation, catch one
deer at a time. However, the!
bucks and does taken on lands'
where the supply is too large
for the food available, do not
injure themselves in these new
traps. The traps are baited
with cottonseed cake and ap-
ples, which deer consider great j
delicacies.
Speckled Trout Research.
The marine biologist for the
Texas Game Department will
soon start research on speckled
trout, an excellent sport fish
which is far from being plenti-
ful on the Texas coast as it
was ten years ago. The biolo-
gist, who is being equipped
with a boat, will study all the
phases of trout and hopes to
ascertain their habits, the type
of water and bays in which
they breed best, and other
data bearing on their number
along the Texas coast.
It is possible coastal resi-
dents of Texas will cause a
bill to be proposed before the
legislature at its next session
to take speckled trout off the
