Charles E. Yeager, the 25- year-old pilot who was the first Qier to travel faster than sound (and crack the sonic wall), de lighted the Washington press corps when he was asked how it felt tc fly at such a tremendous speed “I can only describe the sensa tion,” he replied, "by telling you the story (it’s not new) of the flier, who, like myself, was testing a rocket ship. He released one rock et and exclaimed, to himself. ‘Oh, wonderful’ as the plane reached the speed of 500 miles per hour. ‘Then he pulled the second rock et, the plane soared to 600 miles per hour and he said T’errific.’ He released the last rocket, the plane hit the 700-mile mark, and ha shouted, ‘Oh, Lord’—whereupon a voice from the rear replied, ‘Yes, my boy?’ ‘That’s exactly how I felL” TOO HOT A deacon was lifting one of thosv detailed petitions to the Throne d. Grace that the congregation are expected to overhear. “Lord, send the unfortunate peo ple of this community such sus tenance as they sorely need. Send them a wagon-load of bread, and a barrel of salt. Lord, and a barrel of pepper—no, thunder. Lord that’s too much pepperl” Long Distance My little nephew announced one day that a telephone repairman was talking to heaven from a pole near our house. Questioned about the statement, he “proved” it by -repeating what he had overheard the lineman saying into his test instrument: “Hello! Hello! What’s the matter up there? Can’t anyons hear me?” Seeds of Wisdom I was doimg out pencils to the Children to play school with when I happened to give to my 3-year- old one that had no lead in it. She tried vainly to scribble with it, finally exclaiming in disgust, "This dern pencil hasn’t any seed in it!” HANDY| "• First Bride: “Yes, sir.

He sat in dejected silence. “And don’t sit there,” she shouted, “making fists at me in your pockets, either.** Glass Rod's Future What of the future of the glass rod in angling? How do glass rods differ? What should the angler look for in choosing a glass rod? For authoritative and expert an swers to these questions, this writ er contested the Wright & McGill t company of Denver, Colorado, who pioneered the development of the glass rod and whose Nyla-Glass casting rods are rated at t^e top of the field. A. D. McGill, himself, forwarded the information sought. He wrote: Basically there are three types of glass rods, or rather three methods of making glass rods. Each method makes a rod that differs from the other two. There are solid rods made from glass fibers and plastic binder. There are rods made from glass fibers and plastic binder that have a wood core running through the center of the rods. There are hollow glass rods made from woven glass cloth and plastic binder. We followed the method of mak ing solid glass rods from glass fib ers and plastic binder. Our method is to take glass fibers which come to us from the manu facture of fiber glass filament and resemble in appearance the fine hair-like filaments of raw silk that is spun by the silkworm or the fine filaments of rayon or nylon. Upon receiving the glass filaments they are laid up in lengths to form a rod of desired diameter and length. The filaments are then coat ed with plastic binder and then stretched tight to hold each fila ment taut and straight to avoid any one filament from crossing any other filaments and to allow the plastic binder to coat each filament. After the rods are coated as stat ed above, they are then placed in a form and heated to set or harden the plastic binder. Glass Rods made with wood cores are made in much the same manner as above described; however, the wood core is used to help hold the glass fibers, as they are wrapped to the wood core by means of a spiral wrapping which is removed after the rod is set by heat. Most hoUow glass rods are made by wrapping woven glass cloth around a tapered mandrel. They are then saturated with plastic binder and heated to set the binder. The ’mandrel, or core is then removed leaving a hollow rod. Fiber Glass is not new, but it was glass fishing rods that made the public very conscious of the qualities of fiber glass. Glass Rods are also made in var ious shapes. Wright & McGill have made rods of square or quadrate shape as this shape gives truer flexing action, more power and quick, even flexing with, less danger of side action when casting. How ever, many rods are made round in shape and some are made pentagon or five sided. Rods made from fiber glass are here to stay and the past four years have proven that glass rods are very popular and that they can de liver what most fishermen have hoped for in rods. They are durable, have fast ac tion and power to fight and land the gamest fighting fish. They with stand the damaging effects of salt water.^They will not rust or rot. They are fungus proof and under normal fishing conditions wiD- not take a set or break. AAA 1 "Like a duck takes to tcater" is a familiar expression. Swimming, of course, is a natural instinct with ducks. Young mallard ducks, upon their first venture from the nest, have been known to swim as far as a r tbitf of a mile. . AAA Fly Fish Upstream In fishing fast water with"' flies, the most productive technique will be upstream fishing. After the fly is cast, pull the line through the guides with the left hand to keep out slack, and watch the line/ or end loop where the leader is tied. If there is any slowdown, or side- wise movement of the leader, strike — and strike hard! Also, strike at any flash of color or other sign of trout moving for the fly. Almost all the strikes will be missed if you wait until you feel the fish. Many strikes are missed by experienced anglers, but even a beginner will hook enough fish by fills method to make things in teresting. AAA The praying-mantis is said to he the only insect that can turn bis bead around and look over bis shoulders. AAA Salmon Spreading Due to their repute, and the fad that the land-locked species can survive in cold, clear, deep lakes where minnows are plentiful, sal mon have been introduced into many northern waters during the past few years. They may be taken in more re gions than is generally known, and each season sportsmen from ali parts of the United States and Can ada, and even from Europe, visit the select salmon riven and lakes. In a Spot “I’m very happy to inform you that your husband has passed the crisis/’ said an English doctor to a woman whose husband was dangerously ill. “Passed the crisis?” she de manded. “You told me *e couldn’t live a week.” “Well, I’m going to cure him, after all,” said the physician. “Surely you are glad?” The woman nodded slowly. “Guess so,” she admitted, “but it puts me in a bit of an ’ole. I’ve bm an’ sold all ’is clothes to pay for ’is funeral.” ■ Not store-stale! Not a “bar gain” nobody eats! Kellogg’s Corn Flakes come so good and firesh because folks want them fast as we make ’em.
