Newberry’s Springdale Cemetery, organized and begun
in 1948 by the Springdale Cemetery Corporation, a wholly
local oganization, was chartered in 1949. The Corpora
tion now offers burial lots for sale, either on a cash or
monthly payment basis. Incidentally, the rock wall in
front of the cemetery was constructed by Gust Holm and
Son out of Newberry Granite, quarried locally, and the
iron gates and sign were made at the Newberry High
School by B. H. Phillips and his crew. Tihe Corporation
hastens to remind the public that, “it is better to have a
nice lot in Springdale Cemetery and not need it, than to
need one and not have it.” For further inquiries address:
Springdale Cemetery Corp., Box 408—Offices at 910 Main
Street, Newberry.

“YOUR PRIVATE BANKER”

By Tad Ktstmg
If you’re a real fisherman,
don’t overlook this late season
fishing. You won’t get as many
fish as you did earlier in the
season—you may, indeed, get
very few. But during no other
pan of the season are your
chances of snagging into some
really huge ones nearly so
good. This holds not only for
bass but for pike and walleyes.
Very late in the season is the
time to get really big pike.
Bass, after having been in
shallow water for awhile, are
now back in deeper spots. 1
generally have best luck find
ing them at sharp drop-offs
with weeds at the edge. In
the colder months, I’ve found
them much less finicky as to
what lure they’ll take, just so
it’s fished deep and very slow
ly.
Now, you are likely to find
them “bunting” — hitting the
lure gently—so you can’t hook
them well. Jason Lucas, one
of our best known bass anglers
suggests you use a very tiny
plug of the sort that one would
generally use for rather small
crappies.
These remarks hold true of
the extreme northern parts of
the country during November.
Farther south, they will apply
in December, even January.
When winter really sets in
and you must put your gear
away, be sure you store your
line properly. More lines have
to be discarded because of im
proper storage in winter than
because of wear.
A silk casting line must be
dried very thoroughly before
storing, and kept in a complete
ly dry place. Otherwise it will
be so weak by spring that it
will be useless. We are told
that nylon casting lines never
need drying, but I prefer to
store mine as carefully as my
silk—it can do no harm.
Never leave your fly line on
the reel all winter. Take it
off, and keep it in a coil of six
inches or so in diameter. The
simplest way to make a neat
coil is to wind it onto a card
board box or such, then slip it
off over the end and tie it with
string. Be sure the line doesn’t
twist as you wind it. Then
hang the coil in a cool dry
place. It is a good idea to
give the line a heavy coat of
dressing before storage.

Fish By The
Thousands
Greenwood Index-Journal.
Lake Greenwood, Nov. 16.—
What happened out here yes
terday, in a little inlet on the
Laurens side of the Lake, us
ually happens only in the true
fisherman’s wildest dreams!
Fish, hundreds of fish, all
sorts of fish, floated quietly to
the surface of the water and
begged to be taken out. All
you had to do was ease your
boat along and scoop out crap
pies, bass, and shad by the net
ful. Potentially, the finny har
vest had the makings of the
biggest fish fry since Pinson’s
Bottoms were flooded to form
Lake Greenwood almost 10
years ago.
What’s more, it was all per
fectly legal under appropriate
State and Federal fishing laws,
etc. For doing the scooping,
along with fish-happy volun
teer helpers, were the Game
Wardens of Laurens and Green
wood counties, Garvin O’Dell
and John Ellison!
Under the direction of fish
eries experts Ancil D. Holloway
of the U.S. Dept, of the In
terior, O’Dell and Ellison, along
with the rest of the group, had
earlier slipped a sea-going Mic
key Finn into this particular
stretch of water. The knock
out drops for the guppies came
in the form of a chemical pow
der which was mixed just so,
and then planted in the wa
ter. For obvious reasons, de
tails of the chemicals and the
planned assassination of the
fish must be kept top secret.
Guppies Everywhere
Lest anyone’s heart should
bleed over the carefully de
signed massacre of innocent
fish, it must be explained that
the destruction was necessary
in order to accomplish the
first step in a Federal survey
of Lake 'Greenwood, a survey
which everyone hopes will re
sult in recommendations that
will eventually see the improve
ment of fishing conditions at
the Lake.
Mr. Holloway was sent here
by the Dept, of the Interior,
in cooperation with the State
game officials, at the request
of the Greenwood Chamber of
Commerce committee on Lake
Greenwood. The Federal ex
pert arrived early this week
and spent yesterday morning
becoming acquainted with the
Lake. Shortly after noon, an
inlet formed by a branch com
ing into the lake from the gent
ly rolling hills in Laurens
county was blocked off by
stretching a net across its
mouth. A stretch of water, ex-
tendinr about 100 yards back
to the mouth of the branch,
was then treated with this spe
cial happy dust. In a short
while, small fish began to break
the surface of the water.
Punch-drunk and groggy, they
swam for a while on their
backs or sides before being
netted by the wardens and
dumped into pails,

Hungry Cal
This process continued for
several hours, as two boats
cruised back and forth over the
inlet, netting hundreds of small
fish. Only two or three fish,
including one cat, were big
enough to eat, which may or
may not mean anything. One
such and the cat each weighed
down by several small fish
that he had gulped in his greed.
The tail of one small bream
extended from the cat’s mouth,
but several more had gone the
way of all small fish.
The unusal angle to all this
was that the poison did not
spoil the fish for eating pur
poses. However, we’d just as
soon take ours the hard way.
Fish Laboratory
As the pails gradually filled,
the boats nosed into the bank
and dumped their loads in a
tarpaulin stretcher out on
shore. There,- the catches were
sorted by specimen, weighed
and measured by Mr. Holloway.
Careful record was made of
size and numbers of each kind
of fish and special attention
was paid to the estimated age
of the catch. Then the fish
were dumped in the brush
higher up the bank to make a
feast for the ’coons that lived
in an oak some distance back
in the woods. ’Coon tracks
showed plainly along the banks,
making it evident that over
night the ’coons would have
their Thanksgiving dinner a
week early.
Larger fish began to arise
later in the afternoon and the
party expected to find better
specimens when they returned
today. The poison affected the
smaller fish first but was due
to knock over the bigger boys
overnight.
The same process will be re
peated today, probably on the
Grenwood side of the lake and
more “sampling” will be ac
complished tomorrow. Mr. Hol
loway will conclude his survev
of the Lake this week. He will
then make a report to his
headquarters in Atlanta, and a
copy will be sent to game of
ficials in South Carolina. It is
expected that the report will
contain recommendations for
the improvement of fishing
conditions at the lake.

Farmers To Vote On
\
Controls December 15
County Production and Mar
keting Administration Commit
teemen were beginning this
week the task of preparing for
the National cotton marketing
quota referendum to be held
in every cotton growing com
munity in the United States on
Thursday, December 15.
A preliminary estimate by
the County PMA office in
Newberry indicates that around
2,000 cotton growers will be
eligible to vote in Newberry
County.
Mr. J. W. Abrams, County
PMA Committee chairman says
that about 8 polling places will
be set up in the County to
make it as convenient as pos
sible for all growers to partici
pate.
Meanwhile, work is continu
ing in the county office on data
gathered from farmers during
the past several weeks upon
which individual farm acreage
allotments will be based. Mr.
Abrams is unable to say at
this time when allotment no
tices will be ready for mailing,
but assures cotton farmers that
they will be advised of their
allotments before the referen
dum date.
Marketing quotas for the 1950
cotton crop were proclaimed by
Secretary of Agriculture Chas.
F. Brannan on October 13 when
it became apparent that cotton
supplies for the current market
ing year would exceed the nor
mal supply by a wide margin.
To become effective, however,
quotas must be approved by at
least two-thirds of the growers
voting in the coming referen
dum.
