Bartlett, Grants Pass, a director of the state Izaak Wal ton League, said Tuesday night that the Oregon league would approve whatever measures a basin-wide survey should find necessary for flood control on the Rogue river. Bartlett spoke at a meeting of the Rogue Basin Flood Control and Water Resources association board of directors at the Jack son county courthouse auditor ium. He spoke as a representa tive of the state league. Opposed High Dam The Izask Walton league pre viously has opposed flood con trol measures in the Rogue bas in if they included construction of a high dam on the grounds that it would be injurious to fish life in the river. No representative of the Med ford chapter of the Izaak Wal ton league, which has indicated it will continue to oppose con struction of a high dam on the Rogue, was present at Tuesday's meeting. Ralph Moore, Grants Pass, le gislative committee chairman for the flood control association, reported that federal fish and game commission surveys were now in progress in the Rogue basin to determine effects of floods and possible flood control on wildlife. McKay's Letter Moore read a letter from Sec retary of the Interior Douglas McKay which stated that Mc Kay had ordered the wildlife surveys and that a report was to be made in the near future. Moore also read a communica tion from Representative Harris Ellsworth in which Ellsworth outlined a bill he introduced to the house of representatives March 7 which has since been referred to the public works committee. The bill calls for a complete comprehensive survey of the Rogue basin, taking into consideration flood control, and the development of water resour ces. Cole Rivers, Grants Pass, a member of the state game com mission, indicated that the com mission would be favorable to whatever measures a survey of the basin should deem necessary for flood control. About 40 people attended the meeting here. A general meeting of all individuals and groups af filiated with the flood control association has been called for April 10 at the Gold Hill city hall.

Guest speaker for the evening will be State Patrolman Rafe Anders. Visitors are welcome. When asked how the Fisher men's club got started, Mrs. Cur tis Gerhardt of Applegate, re lated this story. It began one sunny day on the Applegate river when Jimmy Christensen sat patiently waiting for his first fish to bite. His parents, Mr. and Mrs. Arion Christensen, had placed a stick in his hand, with a string and a bent hairpin for a hook, tied to the end of it. They decided to teach him the real art of fishing, but the plans were disrupted, when Jimmy was taken to the hospital for an operation. During his confine ment, Mrs. Gerhardt wrote an encouraging letter, promising to take Jimmy up to Squaw Lake, and that he would catch his first fish. Jimmy speedily recovered, and true to her promise, Mrs. Gerhardt, together with Mrs. Carl Herriott and her three chil dren, Sally, Mary, and Tommy went fishing in Squaw Lake. To Jimmy's wild delight, he did catch the first, and biggest, fish. A second fishing expedition was planned. It was David Prow ell, a participant on the second trip, who suggested starting a Fisherman's club. Prior to this trip, David and his mother, Mrs. Virgil Prowell had attended a 4-H Fair, and seen a fishing club display, which inspired this suggestion. On Nov. 23, 1955, the Applegate Fisherman's club was organized, with Mrs. Ger hardt as leader, Mrs. Carl Her riott, assistant leader, Jerry Rowden, junior leader, Vincent Fremantle, president, Michael Elmore, vice-president, Terry Langley, secretary, Sally Her riott, news reporter, and Jimmy Christensen, song leader. The club now boasts of 23 members, ranging from, ages 9 Governor Praises Commission Members Salem U.R) Gov. Elmo Smith told members of the Ore gon Recreation committee Tues day that people of the state benefit greatly from the services of scores of persons who serve on various state boards and com missions without pay. The governor praised com mission member for their con tributions to state government. He said it brought state govern ment closer to the people and provided them with an opportu nity to participate and express their views. The recreation committee spent most of the afternoon dis cussing the possibilities of creat ing a division of recreation with in the state division of parks. Since it was not known what the outcome of hearings on the proposal to establish a separate bureau will be, the committee decided to sponsor a bill in the next legislature to create an Oregon board of recreation.
