Laythe, regional di rector of the Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife of the U.S. Fish and wildlife serv ice, said there ' is nothing in the Federal anti-baiting regu lations that prohibits the feed ing of migratory waterfowl.

They made tyvo mistakes when . they paid Rocky to write a magazine story called "for $50,000 I'd-fight any of these bums." First, the sub title should read "Make Me Mad Enough and I'll Do It For Free." Second, they translated it into English and thus, to be forceful, it has to be trans lated back into Grazianoism Hut his .observations are quite interesting.
