There has just come to our desk a copy of the book, “Flies,” By J. Edson Leonard, and we hasten to report here that it is a volume that is destined to become prob..bly the most authoritative on the subject which has ever been made available to the fly-rod addicts and particu larly those who delight in tying their own flies. It is rather well known that pub lishers have long realized that the one way to obtain a *eally fine, definitive work on any subject is to choose • as its author one who has known, loved and studied the subject for years. And J. Edson Leonard is just such a man. He has fished all his life and has made a specialty of flies since early youth. For the past 15 years he has been collecting, compiling, classifying and editing source material on flies from every English-speaking coun try in the world. He has kept records on the ap pearance of insects, their size and their habits; he has carefully ob served the performance of artifi cial flies and he has examined the insects found in fishes’ stomachs. The result is “Flies,”—his first book—a study unmatched in its field. ; The particular attraction about Mr. Leonard's fine volume, is that the fisherman literally can “start from scratch”—learn how and why to select materials for making his own flies, what hooks to select and file nomenclature and specifications of 2,200 fly patterns. Easily readable, complete and, as we have said, fully authoritative, this superbly illustrated book may well become the standard refer ence, as weQ as a guide, for aU fly-fishermen. The eight fuU pages in color, the SO black-and-white drawings—all made by the author, himself—and the 24 full-page photographs are worth the price of “Flies” (A. S. Barnes & Co. $5.00), for here is a monumental, conclusive work which stands out like a light from an other books on the subject. AAA For Ught-Tacklo Users :•• v,v., -I V : ' A % *P'*: ~ Ocean City's new lightweight reel (weighing only 4K ounces) is ideal for the light-tackle dev otee and the tournament plug- tossers as well. It is constructed entirely of sephaloy, the “mira cle metal,” and is of sufficient sturdiness to make it the perfect fishing red. A feature impor tant to anglers is “elHte” self- lubricating sped spindle bear ings. Its line capacity is 50 yards of 15-pound test nylon or silk. A A A Retrieving Line To “play one’s fly” when fishing, and often to avoid obstacles on the back cast, the angler will want to retrieve part of the -line extended on the previous cast. The “pull back” way is one method. Grasp the line with your left hand just back of the butt guide, passing Une between first two fingers and cork grip. Pull in line with long sweeps of the left arm, bolding the retrieved line in loose coils. The “hand twist,” however, is always best for fly manipulation, for with this method one is able to impart a more life-like motion to tibe fly. In the hand twist retrieve, grasp the line with thumb and first finger of left hand, palm facing up. Close other fingers firmly over line lying across palm. Then, turn hand palm-down and take more line with thumb and first finger. The dis tance you want the fly to travel will determine how much line you thus pick up each time. After pick ing up line wanted, turn hand up. Now, repeat the motion until you have fished out the cast, or want to pick up an the line for another cast. Sound difficult? Well, it isn’t so very difficult—and like other tech niques in file fly-fishing sport, it simply requires p*tience and prao fice to perfect. Stay Put! AAA Remember, if you are with a party and become lost and do not return to camp, they will start a search for you. Stay put, if neces sary for a day or two, to give your companions a chance to find you. Light a smudge fire, as it might be sighted by some forest ranger. If you have a gun, fire it at regular Intervals, if you have a mirror, climb to some high point and flash it; but, whatever you do, don’t run helter-skelter. sstpHERE IS NOT one of you who • would not see the country ruined if you could turn out Seward.” This was the wrathful answer of Abraham Lincoln to the Republi cans of his day who were urging upon him the dismissal of Secre tary of State William H. Seward. And however a number of Repub lican senators and congressmen may feel about Secretary of State Dean Acheson, or even, however a large segment of the people may feel, the resolution sigifed by these Republicans in the congress call ing -for Acheson’s dismissal is most certainly a disservice to the na tion. And even as this cabal sought to disguise its»action by inserting a clause pleading fullest cooperation with the President and the admin istration, there is no way to hide the blow to the nation’s unity in this time of national danger. Sen. Alexander Smith of New Jersey declared his fellow Re publicans might mislead the world as to “the fundamental unity of the American people.” And Sen. Charles Tobey, Re publican of New Hampshire, said: “God help the American people, if we do not all stick together and support the Presi dent of the United States in this critical emergency. 1 The facts are, these Republican members of the congress are seek ing to culminate their pre-election campaign to “get Acheson.” There is no question but that this cam paign, spearheaded by Senators Joe McCarthy, William Jenner, Kenneth Wherry and others, was ef fective, marked as it was by a de gree of distortion and falsehood, seldom equaled in a political cam paign. There is little doubt but that this campaign shook the confidence of many people in the country con cerning Dean Acheson for it of fered the people and these GOP leaders a convenient scapegoat for fears and criticisms of our for eign policy. Despite this campaign of smear and hate, the record shows what actually most of these accusations against the secretary of state are unnamed and unproved. And a lesser man, a man not possessed with the strength and moral fibre of Dean Acheson, like ly would have been hounded out of office. Aside from the damage done to the nation’s unity there is the constitutional question that neither house nor. senate has anything to do with the President’s Cabinet. • Loyalty Is Strongth President Truman can either ig nore, or do as President Lincoln did, tell them exactly what he thinks of them. The house does have the power to impeach for cause, and the senate tries an im peachment brought by the house. But it is significant that such a pro cedure has not been broached for it never would be voted. Despite this evidence of disunity, many here in Washington are breathing a prayer that President Truman was right when he said in his ad dress to the nation: “Because our freedom Is in danger, we are united in its defense. Let our aggressor think we are divided. Our great strength is the loyalty and fel lowship of a free people. We pull together when we are in trouble and we do it by our own choice, not out of fear, but out of love for the great val ues in our American life, that we aH have a share in.” It would be helpful, however, to see some of that loyalty and fellow ship exhibited right now in the congress. • • • Washington Silhouettes At a recent press conference by Margaret Truman the men were supposed to be seen and not heard with the women reporters doing the questioning. A tall lanky reporter in the back row arose, and said, “It looks like there’s a gag rule here.” It was Joe Short, of the Baltimore Sun, who was named the Presi dent’s press secretary the follow ing day . . . Even Vice President Barkley now sports a round-the- clock body guard of three secret service men . . . And heard at the National Press Club bar apropos of Margaret Truman—“Every Re publican is now a music critic” . . . A courageous group of am putees engaged in a volley ball game at Walter Reed general hos pital. Farm Receipts Up Cash receipts from farm market ing in November were $3.3 billion dollars, 14 per cent more than a year ago. Volume was less but prices averaged 16 per cent higher than November, 1948. Also farm real estate advanced four per cent from July to Novem ber in contrast to a three per cent decline during the same period in 1949 with the east north central states showing the largest gain. 4-H CONGRESS 1,145 Farm Boys, Girls Attend 29th Annual 4-H Club Congress Last year’s 4-H Congress is his tory now, but it will long be re membered by 1,145 4-H boys and girls who attended the five-day af fair last November in Chicago. For the first time delegates were on hand from each of the 48 states, accompanied by 235 of their lead ers. Registration lists also included boys, girls and leaders from Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and 11 for eign countries. There were 15 visi tors from Austria, 29 from Canada, BY INEZ GERHARD J OYCE HOLDEN, Universal star let, began her film career as a comedienne and the love interest of Jimmy Durante in “The Milk man”, will be seen soon in a dra matic role in “Target Unknown”. This time she plays the role of a nurse—had to spend a month mas tering a German accent for the part. She traveled all around the east and mid-west in conjunction with “The Milkman”, winding up the extensive tour in Chicago, where she appeared at the Harvest Moon Festival with Jose Ferrer. Here’s a chance to win a trip to Hollywood. A booth has been set up in the lobby of New York’s Paramount Theatre, where Bing Crosby’s “Mr. Music” is being shown, for the Christmas cards sent to him. On January, 31 he will select one of the cards sent to him from all over the country, and the person who sent it will win that trip, with (*11 expenses paid, of course.

Donald Sherman Brosovich, 20, of Lakewod, Colo., and Phyl lis, V. Bowe, 20, of Elk River, Minn., each received $300 schol arships and silver trophies from Edward Foss Wilson, right, president of Wilson Company, at the 29th National 4-H Con gress in Chicago. 24 from Germany, 22 from Turkey, two from Japan, and one each from Honduras, Thailand, Denmark, France, Netherlands and Luxem bourg. All 4-H’ers were state winners in some project or activity, and dur ing their stay over 150 were named a: national winners. The young sters were entertained at breakfast, lunch, and dinner. They were also guests of the management at an afternoon horse show at the Inter national Live Stock Exposition. Six of the youngsters were named national winners in leadership, achievement and citizenship. Each received a $300 college scholarship. They were Donald S. Brozovich, Lakewood, Colorado, and Phyllis Bowe, Elk River, Minn., in leader ship; Jack McDowell, Jr., Backus, Minn., and Mary Janet Elder, Dana, Indiana, 'in citizenship; and Porter Lee, Jr., Beggs, (Oklahoma, and Carolyn Smith, Andrews, N. C., in achievement. 4-H club members also played a starring role at the International Live Stock Exposition. A Big Spring, Texas, 4-H member, Loyd Robinson, showed a 1075 pound here* ford steer to the open-class grand championship. A 4-H owned Texas hereford was grand champion in 1949. • • • RANKING HIGH as favorite fea tures of the program planned for the youths were the assemblies, where speeches and discussions were built around the theme “Bet ter Living for a Better World.” Speakers included Judge Camille Kelley of the Memphis, ‘Tenn., juvenile court; W. Kerr Scott, gov ernor of North Carolina; Harold Stassen, president. University of Pennsylvania; Wheeler McMillon, publisher of Farm Journal; Basil O’Conner, president. National Foun dation for Infantile Paralysis; and industrialists Charles Kettering, General Motors; Raymond C. Fire stone, Firestone Tire Sc Rubber Co., Fowler McCormick, International Harvester; Thomas A. Ferrell, Dearborn Motors Corp.; and Thos. E. Wilson, Wilson St Company. The National 4-H Club Congress is conducted by the Extension Serv ices of the state agricultural col leges and the U. S. department of agriculture in cooperation with the national committee on boys and girls club work. One hundred and twenty-four college scholarships valued at $36,800 were distributed through the national committee dur ing the congress. The youngsters were entertained, but they also learned much that will be useful in future years. They made friends with 4-H members from other parts of the country and got to know them and their problems.

Molly Turner had never liked children, and through all these twenty-five years she had been for tunate that none had moved next door. She felt in a way that telling prospective tenants with children the bad features about the old house had spared her an association she couldn’t have endured. There hadn’t been anything wrong in speaking the truth. Molly put her sewing on a table, got up from her chair with diffi culty and hobbled over to the coal stove to shake it down and put in a scuttle of coal. She had told the woman the truth about the house being drafty and needing repair, and about Frank Overton being so tight he’d never do.anything about it She straightened and turned to ward the window, and that was when she saw him: Ronnie, the ten-year-old * boy belcnging to the woman she’d talked to the other day. He was standing against the fence looking toward her house. Planning up his conquests of dev iltry, she thought and she groaned in sick disappointment. She hobbled back to her chair. So they had/ taken the house after all! Well—someway she had to keep the brat out of her yard. There were her flowers in the spring and summer. He'd rummage in her sheds and break op things. ' She glanced out of the window and saw Ronnie climbing the fence. She pulled herself out of the chair BROADWAY AND MAIN STREET Gold Tipped Cigarettes End Romance and Start Career By BILLY ROSE Yesterday, at one of those cocktail parties where wily pedigreed olives are used in the Martinis, I met a movie actress who used to dance in one of my chorus lines back in the ’30’s. She was sporting a square-cut that looked like the searchlight on the old Albany night boat. “Glad you’re doing so well,” I said. “You’ve really gone places since the days when you made a fast forty a week.” “Have I changed much?” she asked, lighting a gold-tipped “Well, for one thing,” I said, “you never used to smoke buck-a-pack ciggies.” “You mean these Sobranies?” said the actress. “Matter of fact, I started smoking them while I was working at your club. One of your customers intro- duced me to them.” “Boy friend?” “Yes, if a man in his 5G’s can be called a boy. Re member Big Joel?” “The oil fella?” “That’s the one,” said the s-t-a-r. “Know something? I probably would be Billy Re— married to him today if not for these Sobranies.” “Tell me about it,” I prodded. • * • “WELL, IT’S not much of a story,” said the actress. “One night Big Joel threw a party at the -Cen tral Park Casino for a bunch of his pals—Jimmy Walker, Billy Seeman, Jules Glaenzer and that crowd. And it was quite a shindig—guinea hen und^r glass, buckets of champagne and gold-tipped Sobranies on every table. I was one of the girls invited —but what I didn’t know until later was that Joel intended to surprise me and announce our engagement that night.” "Were you stuck on the big lug?” "No/ particularly," said the star, "but be was a mca enough fella and bad be made the an nouncement l don’t doubt but that l would have gone along with it," "What stopped him?" “It was one of those things,” said the actress. "A little after mid night, when I came back to my table after a dance, I found my pocketbook was missing. I started to look for it, but Big Joel told me to relax and handed me a hundred bucks. I thanked him but kept right on looking, and when he asked me why I was so worried about the pocketbook I told him there was three hundred dollars in it. • • • - ’T HAD HARDLY gotten the words out of my mouth when the woman who worked in the ladies’ room came up and handed me my purse—said she had found it under the make-up table. "Big Joel looked at me and grinned kind of funny. Tt ain’t that I don’t trust you, honey,’ he said, ‘but a man wants to be awfully sure about the lady he’s going to make his wife. Forgive me, but—would you mind opening that bag and showing me the three hundred? “Naturally I did no such thing. I picked up my bag, gave him one of those ’how-dare-you* looks and walked straight out of the room.” “In other words,” I small-joked, “Big Jbiel caught you with your purse down.” "Nothing of the sort," said the movie star. "Matter of fact* f bad been paid off that afternoon for a series ol modeling fobs and bad closer to in my bag. 1 “Then why “How coi “He’d have Sobranie Go', the tables.” hundred than three dn't you open it?” said the actress, the ten packs of I had swiped off Molly thought she h»4 nie —tiled, but the next after noon there be was at her door. and waddled hastily to the door. “Here, here,” she called to the child. “Get back in your own yard.” Ronnie looked at her a second then climbed back over the fence. jurOLLY THOUGHT she had Ron- nie settled, but the next after noon when she went out to the shed for a bucket of coal, he came to the door. “I’ll get your coal in,” he said. Molly wouldn’t look at him. ‘T don’t need you to get my coal in;” she said. “Get .hack in your own yard. Go on, nowl” ,* It was the way Molly looked that caused the kid to scampe^ down the walk and climb over the fence as if she had actually shot at his feet. The unpleasant Incident didn’t keep Ronnie away. Evety day Molly had to chase him out of her yard. Every day she vowed she’d skin him alive. What kind of mother did Ronnie have that she allowed him to pester a crippled old wom an like her! But one night a blizzard came, and the town of Hanover was cover ed with ice. Molly just had "one bucket of coal by her gtove, and she dared not venture out on .the ice to get more. She used the coal sparingly, and when she got down to the last shovelful, a lost, des perate kind of feeling went over her. What would she do? Late that afternoon a knock sounded on her door, and when she opened it, Ronnie smiled Up at her uncertainly. *T11 get your coal in. Miss Turn er,” he said. “It’s slick, 'n you might fall . . .’’ Molly couldn't speak for a moment. She felt almost humble with shame and gratitude that he had come. “Well, I—well, < that would be sweet of yon,” she said finally, and for the first time in all the— twenty-five years of not wanting children next door, she saw the injustice of her prejudice toward them. What'queer quirk in her mind had blinded her to the happiness a child could bring her? Maybe it was because she had never looked at one—not as she was looking now at Ronnie and seeing the clear innocence of his eyes. A smile broke across her old face. “Thank you, Ronnie,” she said. Strange, how good she felt say ing it The feeling was beautiful- one that she had waited much to? Ions to experience.
