Tenpin Trail Tenpins took a major setback this week. For the first time tenpin lanes have been pulled out and replaced with duckpin lanes. In their quest to break even Fairlanes at Wheaton Plaza are betting on 16 ducks. Still remaining will be 32 tens. While both tens and ducks have expanded the past three years, tens have virtually ex ploded in numbers Apparently tens are now in for a period of adjustment. During the past year several houses originally slated for tens ended up as ducks notable to tenpinners, Glenmont and Westwood. From the operators’ point of view changing to some ducks in the middle of the season may b<- a matter of economic neces sity. On the other hand, can they be assured that ducks will increase their lineage? Most businesses recognize an element of risk in any venture. It would appear that a corporation in the process of growth as is Fair lanes can expect a certain num ber of establishments that will not carry themselves during the first year or so. The question in this writer s mind is “Did they give tenpins enough time to develop?” Ap parently the home office felt that they had. Fortunately, only a few leagues will be affected by the alterations. • * • After the first round of bowl ing, the Congressional Plaza Juniors continue to break rec ords.

The majority of people from the big metropoli tan areas of Washington and Baltimore went to the Eastern Shore for their trophy this year. In Frederick and Washington Counties, two that always ab sorb many such gunners, saw few from the city. A look at deer kill records reaveals that most of the deer were killed in these counties by local resi dents. In fact, the common complaint there was that too few hunters hunters were In the woods to keep deer moving. Forest fires in all four west ern counties kept wardens and forestry personnel very busy.

BURNER SERVICE CrP WA. 6-2211 AFIELD in Maryland ly Lofty Kreh caused by careless hunters. Such irresponsible actions may someday cause hunters to lose vast tracts of open gunning land. Woodland devoted to watershed management is too important to be jeopardized by sportsmen. Hunting these for ests is a responsibility the hunter will have to assume with more care if he expects to enjoy this privilege. Throughout the state there was a general trend that showed fewer illegal deer killed. In some counties in previous seasons, as many as 50 does or protected bucks were slain. This certainly was not the case in 1960, and is encouraging. Few gunners who spent time in the mountains failed to see deer ar\d this adds weight to the argument put up by our Game Commission biologist that a doe season is a sensible thing, as long as it is controlled. As soon as sportsmen agree, the State will almost surely have a doe season in all open counties. Fishing With all the cold weather and snow it sounds silly to talk about fishing. But, the warm water, pouring from the PEPCO plant downstream from the Mouth of Monocacy, creates an unusual condition and fisher men are bringing in heavy stringers of bass, catfish, crap pie and sunnies. A boat can be secured at Lambert’s livery at the Aque duct, near Dickerson. From the landing it is just a short trip downstream to the power plant. Worms arid minnows seem to be the best baits.

The question on everyone’s mind down here was, “Did the big snow and this freeze that followed put an end to our rock fishing for this season?” The harbors have been frozen tight for a week. The boats Im prisoned In their slips by ice as much as eight inches thick In some sections. Friday the 16th, we decided to break out and give it a try. It took most of the day to clear the creek and dig the boats out, but by evening the job was done. Saturday morning she was frozen tight again.

The Winter Gooses was a dif ferent story. Bert found the fish here In the same area they were in before the storm. He and his party caught 53 rock and were back in the harbor by 1 p.m. Next day Captain Beck Grierson on the Treasure Island fished the same area and caught 52 rock fish. These are not the good rock we had a few weeks ago. These fish are running from 12 inch keepers to three pounds at the most. They are hitting Bert Lamb's eightball and his pump kin heads.

If you are nutty enough to try this freezing business, you would do well to call your cap tain before driving down.
