Coho Outlook Said Excellent Oregon Fish Commission salmon hatcheries are pre paring for another bonanza year of returning coho in the wake of predicted record commercial and sport fishing along the Ore gon coast. Commission spokesmen In dicated that the all-time record ocean troll coho catch of 6.3 million pounds set in 1935 may be broken this year if catches continue at the current high rate. Oregon’s commercial troll ers landed an estimated 4.9 million pounds of coho through Aug. 5, with more than two and one-half months left In the troll season. This compares to the total troll season land ings of 5.1 million pounds in 1966 which was the best year on record since 1935. Coho sport fishing is report ed as excellent the length of the coast. At the mouth of the Columbia River, the sport catch through the first week of August was estimated to be 100,000 coho. This compares favorably to the catch recorded by this date in 1965 when the all- time record sport catch of 250,- 000 was landed. — During recent weeks, coho landed at the mouth of the Co lumbia h av e averaged 10 pounds, which is up to three pounds heavier than those taken af*this time during the past two years. Several factors have contrib uted to the astronomical rise in coho sport and commercial catches. One of the important factors is the release of mil lions of yearling coho from O re g o n Fish Commission, W a s h in g to n Department of Fisheries and U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service salmon hatch eries. The commonly held idea that closing the coastal streams to commercial fishing has con tributed substantially to the co ho upsurge is not supported by annual surveys of coho spawn ing grounds in coastal tribu taries. The surveys show no significant increase in num bers of coho spawning in key coastal streams since they were closed to commercial fishing in 195". The Fish Commission has re leased more than 46 million yearling coho during the last five years. These large re leases combined with advances in hatchery feeding and rearing techniques have produced con- .¿jstently larger and healthier fish and encouraged greater returns to the fisheries. In 1966, commission hatch eries got back five times more adult coho than needed for egg taking purposes. Many of these TTslt were trucked to streams and released to take advantage of natural spawning areas. Many millions of coho eggs in excess of the commission’s needs were taken and distributed to other fisheries agencies throughout the United States. With the current excellent ocean sport and commercial fisheries and the 1966 hatchery return of 81,000 coho j a c k s , which hatcherymen use as h ar bingers of the next year’s adult returns, Fish C o m m is s io n hatcheries are expecting a re peat, perhaps larger, p er formance this fall. Rear Attacks Are Common ‘Attack from the rear” is most common type of traf- accident, according to Chief rt Weir of the Port Orford lice Department. Host rear-enders happen be- jse the second driver was lowing too close and didn’t ve room to stop. “While it’s a good idea to ow at least one vehicle length following distance for each miles per hour of speed, s practice alone will not mlnate rear-end collisions,” > Chief said. Many such collisions occur en when the following vehicle s a long way back at the irt of the chain of events iding up to the accident. No lount of following distance 11 help the driver who does t keep alert to what is going in front of him. In rush hours, it is often ilcult to maintain an ideal fe following distance. C lr- mstances force closer fol ding distances. “ Be mentally prepared,” the lief advised. “ Alertness is the cret. Even the fastest-moving iffic may have to slow down stop suddenly.” Give yourself additional ob- rvation room by training urself to watch ahead of the hide ahead. Be alert for the ish of stoplights way up the ie which will indicate that u, too, may have to stop. And, len you do stop, checkfollow- g vehicles and use all the ace safely available to mlni- ize your own chances of being rear-ended.’ “ Also,” warned the Chief, seep up with the main flow of affic and remember, alert- ,ss and defensive driving can old nearly every attack from e re a r.” a I SWOCC Announces Course Instructors Instructors for basic mathe matics and blueprint reading in the continuing program of ed ucation for Journeymen carpen ters at Southwestern Oregon Community College have been announced by the college infor mation office.

When there are two or more clearly marked lanes for travel in the same direction. (A new law which will go into effect September 1967 will require slow moving vehicles to use the right lane only)2. When preparing to turn left. 3. When passing another vehicle. 3. How many feet must a signal be given before a turn is made? ANSWER; At least 100 feet. Mechanized or electrical turn signals should be in good work ing condition so that they are plainly visible either day or night.
