Fishermen ore using
bass-flshlng technology to
open up □
hertofore-undlscovered sport
of catching big blue catfish
on rod and reel In Lake
Texoma.
Texas Parks and Wildlife
Department biologists said
that Becky Curtis, who lives
at the lake, caught an
apparent new state record
blue cat lost week weighing
70 pounds, four ounces on a
certlfld scale. The fish also Is
expected to be a world
16-pound line class record
when certified.
Mrs. Curtis' husband Hal,
who Is a fishing guide at
Texoma, uses a chart
recorder to locate the big
catfish along the Inundated
Red River channel, then drops
live shad baits down to the
fish. The fish apparently are
migrating along the edge of
the river channel where It
drops off from around 40 feet
down to 90 feet.
Texoma fishermen already
have set several world
line-class recoreds for blue
catfish, as well as the current
trottlne record of 116 pounds
caught In April of 1985.
A one-day catch by parties
In two boats last week gives
an Indication of the action.
Six fishermen caught 15 blues
that weighed about 350
pounds.
And that big fish taken at
Luke Ray Hubbard a couple of
weeks ago that weighed 22
pounds and 7 ounces and
could not be readily
distinguished as to whether It
was a hybrid striped bass or a
striped bass has been
positively Identified as a
striped bass.
Had It been a hybrid striped
bass It would have been a
world record catch.

IF IN FACTORIES AND
INDUSTRIAL FLA NTS: On
between life and death!!
If A SIREN IS ACTIVATED:
When a siren i< activated,
that sound is felling you that
there is a tornado on the
ground. It cannot be stressed
enough how important it is
that a person take cover when
they hear that siren.
IE U>U APT. NEAT A
TORNADO CELLAR: V-’hen
time permits, go to a tornado
cellar, cave or underground
excavation which should have
an air outlet to help equalize
the air pressure. It should be
kept fit for use, free from
water, gas or debris; and pre-
ferably equipped with pick
and shovel. (There Is no uni-
versal protection against tor-
nadoes except underground
excavations.)
IF YOU APr IN on l

angles to the tornado's path.
Tornadoes usually move
ahead at about r> miles to
40 miles per hour. If the re
Is no time to escape, lie
flat in the neatest depression,
such as a ditch or ravine.
IF IN A TOWN OR CITY:
receiving a tornado warning,
a lookout should be posted to
keep safety officials advised
of the tornado's approach.
Advance preparation should

ably in a strong!) reinforced
building. STAY AWAY FROM
WINDOWS!
In homes -- The corner of
the basement toward the tor-
nado usually offers greatest
safety, particularly in frame
houses. People In houses
without basements can some-
times be protected by taking
cover under heavy furniture
against inside walls. Doors
and windows on the sides of
tiie house away from the tor-
nado may be opened to help
reduce damage to the build-
ing.
Standing against the inside
wall or on a lower floor of
an office building offers <ome
protection.
IF IN SCHOOLS; In rural
schools that do not have
strongly reinforced construc-
tion, remove children and
teachers to a ravine or ditch
if storm shelter i« not avail-
able.
In city areas: If school
building is of strongly rein-
forced construction, stay in-
side away from windows. Re-
main near ari inside wall on
the lower floors when possible.

GYMNASIUMS with large,
poorly-supported roofs.
help to get excited. People
have been killed by running
out into streets and by turn-
ing back into the path of a
tornado. Even though a warn-
ing Is issued, chances of a
tornado striking one's home
or location are very slight.
Tornadoes cover such a small
zone, as a rule, that rela-
tively only a few places in
a warned area are directly
affected. You should know
about tornadoes though, "iu<f
in case."

to your radio or television
station for latest tornado ad-
visory information. Do not
call the 'we at he' b * i re *" *'
except to report a tprnado^

may tie up telephone lines
urgently needed to receive
special reports or to relay ad-
visories to radio arid television
stations for dissemination to
thousands in the c ritical area.
