That's the record of the strangest branch of service in all of Uncle More a year | Bam's long lst of occupations—the fish rescue division. The fish life savers work along the Mississippi River and its tributories where the receding spring floods millions of fish stranded in landlocked pools. With the approach of hot weather these ponds dry up idly and were for the rescue teams all of Last year 16 teams of five or six men each were operated at a cost of $45,000 to the government For that $45,000 the crews last year saved the lives of 148,000,000 of the finny tribe, ‘The year before they saver 139,000,000.
