That has disrupted the sleep ing habits of the athletes who have gathered here from all over the world for the Olympic games opening July 19. Rest Difficult Most of them are used to sleeping in darkness and are finding it diffficult to get their proper rest. Some of them even have gone so far as to start working out as early as 4 a. m. Three U .S. athletes pole vault favorite Bob Richards, javelin thrower Bud Held and walker Henry Laskau along with members of the Pakistan and Venezuelan teams were in that "early bird" contingent. The athletes also had the gracious hospitality of the Finns with which to contend. There was such a wide va riety of delicacies available at the .Olympic village that Coach Brutus Hamilton of the U S. track and. field team had to warn the athletes against over eating as well as under-sleeping. Heat Problem The heat presented a problem to the athletes from many coun tries accustomed to cooler weather. Helsinki has experi enced its hottest weather of the year during the past two days with the temperature in the up per 70's and a continuation of the "heat" wave forecast. The vanguard of the German Olympic team 30 rowers and yatchtsmen called 'off their first scheduled practice session Thursday because it was too hot for them.

(International) Fish Bootlegging Plagues Authorities in Florida Jacksonville, Fla. (U.R) The moonshine boys still make whiskey in Florida's pine and palm country but a bootlegging problem which has been plaguing authorities has nothing to do with swampland joy juice. Every now and then investiga tors halt an automobile headed for the Georgia border. They pull back a canvas cover and there is the illicit cargo, fresh water game fish taken illegally from Florida fakes. The bootlegging of fish is an ever present problem and a con stant headache to investigators for the Florida Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission. "We have to fight.it all the time," said Commissioner Miller V. Joiner. "We try to catch them at the source. We throw up road blocks and send out undercover agents. Still they keep coming. 800 Pounds Seized One recent case, for example, involved some 800 pounds of bream and speckled perch and resulted in the arrest of a young Floridan who was driving the. car. Officers ended a wild chase by shooting dwn . the automo bile tires. Bootleggers pack the fish in ice and use. canva& covering to escape detection. Along the route- they periodically drain off the melted ice with a hose. Most loads bring between $300 and $400 from black market Timber Destroyed At Klamath Falls Klamath Falls (U.R) Thou-1 midnight. The Klamath Falls sands of board feet of lumber fire department, two suburban went up in flames Thursday night in . a wind-whipped fire that started, when gusts up to 60 miles an hour blew sawdust- burner sparks into the Ellingson Lumber Co. yard here. . "Five fire departments joined forces to keep the blaze out of the main mill. Mill Official Bob Ellingson said he had no imme diate idea of total loss. Tree Blown Down Fire-fighting efforts compli cated because the ; windstorm blew down a huge tree across Riverside Drive and severed power lines supplying the west side of the city. Mill officials could not put their electric pumps into operation. .' The blaze, which started about 9:15 p.m., was controlled about Amateur cave explorers or "spelunkers" have explored more than 20 upper New York State underground caverns. ftou wantstwghtfourfonfiatsitoth... ...Be sure it's iA'RC'LAY? l '"J" " 1 Jl ASNSv 2 pint departments, the Oregon Tech fire- department and firemen 'of Weyerhaeuser Timber Co. bat tled the flames. dealers in Georgia. The bootleg gers receive about 40 cents a pound for their load.. Not bad returns, say wildlife officials, since the process is usually a one night operation. . First bootleggers must catch the fish, but that is usually a fairly speedy process, since they use seines instead of hooks. Then there's nothing left to do . but load the catch -in a converted automobile and head for the Georgia line. If they evade wild life officers, all is well. Sportsmen Suffer ' As in the case of the young Floridan with 800 pounds of game fish, however, they are sometimes caught and hauled off to the nearest jail. Other than the detected of fender, sportsmen suffer most from the bootlegging. This black market in game fish threatens to throw Florida lakes out of bal ance as far as their fish popula tion is concerned. "However," Joiner said, "the bootlegging element among fresh water commercial fishermen seems determined to continue vi olating the law." The one bright spot seems to be in - disposition of the confis cated fish. They are distributed to Jacksonville institutions which care for. the underprivil eged such as St. Mary's Home for Girls and the Hope Haven Hos pital for crippled children.
