Identity Of Trout Angler Sought Ross Ncwcomb, game depart ment biologist, conducting the Umpqua river study, is anxious to learn the identity of the person who caught a tagged rainbow trout four miles above the Winchester dam recently. The angler apparently is a resi dent of Portland or was in Port land at the time the tag number was telephoned to game depart ment headquarters there. The clerk neglected to get the name of the person who made the report. The tag number, Newcomb said, indicates that this fish had been planted below the dam and had traveled upstream to the place where it was taken. If so, this is the first evidence of any rainbow trout passing the dam and more details concerning the fish are de sired. Any person who may have in formation which will assist in mak ing contact with the angler who caught the trout is asked to com municate with Newcomb.

Urging that Veterans of both World Wars set an example of reverence for the war dead by wearing the memorial flower, Com mander Mills said; "Passage of the years has not dimmed our memory of those com rades of ours who served by our sides and who gave their lives for America. Iet us, then, show that we remember them and honor their sacrifice by weaaing our me morial flower, the poppy, on Poppy day. In this observnee, war veter ans should set the example for all citizens. ' Members of the American Le gion Auxiliary and the Veterans of Foreign Wars and their auxi liary are combining efforts this weekend to offer poppies to the public during the two days.
