Tips for Tyros
Watch these rocks while drivinf
aloi^g back roads or trails when
(oing on that fishing or hunting trip.
Never put the car astraddle of
rocks, and it isn’t wise to drive
over rocks with one wheel. A clever
trick is to equalize the road bed
by piling up other stones if rocks
are too high along parts of the
road . . . Most anglers (and we
confess to being one) find it diffi
cult te resist the temptation to fish
streamer flies only with spinners.
Your experienced anglers know bet
ter, but few there are who seem
willing to try the streamer alone,
despite their knowledge that fished
this way it is often one of the dead
liest of lures for bass and big trout
. . . Remember the antiquarian
who always shouts to you to << keep
that rod tip down” when you’re
playing a fish? Well, pay no atten
tion to him. Hold the rod tip high,
especially if it is a fly rod, for it
is the spring of the rod which the
fish, continually fighting, finds
eventually wearing him down . . .
However, there is one advantageous
thing to be derived from pointing
your casting rod tip at the water:
this will allow an underwater lure
to run deeper and may put bigger
fish in your creel as a result .
Always keep an eye on the bottom
of your boat for splinters or rough
places. These can chafe lines and
may cost you the loss of a nice fish
as well as expensive lures . . .
This may sound like a bit of foolish
advice, for one might say: “Who
would de that?” But, believe it or
not, too many anglers who should
know better often let their fly rods
lie on the ground while they are
busy with something else. It
shouldn’t take a great brain to
figure out what may happen to a
rod so neglected. Instead, the smart
thing |e te treat your rod with the
same care you'd give your watch
or any other precision instrument—
for that’s exactly what it is.

Satin’s Belisvin*
If the fly-rod dngler finds
himself giving this photo a
quick “double-take,” he should
not be surprised, for he Is see
ing something hard to believe.
But, since ‘‘seein’ is believin’,**
he’ll have to accept the evi
dence of his eyes. Yes, it’s a
complete coil of fly-Une resting
on the surface of the water, and
when this photo was taken it
had floated there 16 hoars! This
is tile new B. F. Gladding Ci-
lesto fly line which Is the abso-
lut. answer to the long-time
dream of fly-casters of a line
that will really float throughout
the period of a day’s fishing.
This line will do it. We know,
because we’ve tried it.
AAA
Woolly Worms*
Ever try the woolly worm for
trout?
Simulating the appearance of the
caterpillar, it is a very effective
lure.
If cast upstream and allowed to
swim down with the current, it
looks for ali the world like a cater
pillar that has fallen into the
stream. As the caterpillar would,
it seems to struggle in the water.
The art in fishing this lure is to
make it mimic as far as possible
the action of a real caterpillar and
to see that it moves downstream
along a route where a big trout
may be lurking.
Finding the 1’. king place of a
trout is just as necessary with the
woolly worm as with any other fly.
The best fly in the world can’t pro
duce a strike unless it comes with
in striking distance of a trout. And
the most skillful casting can’t put
the fly there unless the fisherman
knows where a trout should be
lying. That, of course, comes under
the head of “reading a stream,”
which is something a fisherman
needs to understand before he
makes his cast. Given that under
standing, a good fisherman can
use the woolly worm to great ad
vantage—and from all indications a
lot of good fishermen will this year
regard the woolly worm as a must
AAA
Leaders
Both silkworm gut and nylon are
popular for use as leaders, with
nylon swiftly replacing gut as the
favorite with all but the rabid dry-
fly “purists” who insist on the
latter. This is mostly true because
of the difference in price between
the two materials, with nylon being
the cheaper, but also because gut
leaders have to be soaked before
being tied or used, whereas nylon
can be used right off the coil “as
Is.”
THE NEWBERRY SUN. NEWBERRY. 8. C.
Good Eyesight
An American League umpire
named Jack Kerns had a phobia
against calling games. No matter
how dark it got, Kerns felt that a
ball game was nine innings or
more. One day in Washington’s
Griffith Stadium when Kerns re
fused te call a game, the pitcher in
desperation huddled with his
catcher and whispered, “Listen,
you keep the ball in your mitt. I’ll
wind up and pretend to throw it.
You pop it into your glove as
though you’d caught it.”
There were two strikes en the
batter. The pitcher set himself and
went through his motion: the
catcher popped his mitt. “Strike
three and out!” bellowed Kerns.
“Strike?” screamed the batter,
“Why you blind so-and-so. That
ball was twe feet outside!”
Sit This One Out
Charitable works for the idle rich
are something to worry about, too.
A bejeweled matron waddled out
of Claridge’s Hotel in London where
she had been cavorting—and eat
ing—all evening at a de luxe charity
balL As she stepped into her Rolls
a beggar sidled up to her and
whined, “Spare me a sixpence,
lady, for charity. I ain’t ’ad a bite
for three days.” The lady recoiled.
“How much do you expect from me,
you ungrateful fellow?’ r she de
manded. “Don’t you realize I’ve
just been dancing for you all
night?”
CURE TOO GOOD
One day when I was asssiting my
psychician husband at his office, a
charming little old lady in her 70’•
came in for consultation. She ex
pounded all her ailments, real and
imaginary, but seemed most con
cerned about a recurring dream
in which she was diligently pursued
by a personable young man whose
intentions seemed dishonorable.
The doctor was properly sympa
thetic and advised her how she
might sleep more soundly. In a
few days she returned, still woeful
“Don’t tell me you aren’t sleeping
better nowadays,” teased the doc
tor.
“Oh, I’m sleeping just fine,” the
patient replied. “But to tell the
truth. Doctor, I certainly miss that
young man.”
Better When Wet
Far 'e Brice watched Esther
Williams, the swimmer, doing a
scene in an MGM movie.
“Would you say Esther Williams
is a star?” Miss Brice was asked.
“Wet, she’s a star. Dry, she
ain’t,” she replied.
BORN AGAIN
A certain newspaper rarely made
a mistake, but once it reported the
death of a citizen who was very
much alive. He came into the edi
tor’s office later in the day to pro
test.
“I’m sorry, but if the paper saya
you’re dead, then you are dead,”
insisted the editor. The only com
promise be would make, after long
discussion, was to print the man’s
name in the birth notices the next
morning.
NOT FOR “HOOFERS”
The woman had returned a
air of shoes to the exclusive
lop.
“I’m sorry,” she said, “but
lese shoes aren’t what I need,
can’t walk in them.”
“Madam,” commented the
looty clerk, “people who have
» walk don’t shop here.”
Trail Already Blazed
Jean: “Jack and Mary were mar
ried yesterday, you know, and as
they were walking down the aisle
the lights went out.”
Joan: “How perfectly awful!
Whatever did they do about it?”
Jean: “Oh, it didn’t disturb them
at all. This is Mary’s third mar
riage, and she’s familiar with every
step of the way now.”
Self Defense
The three-year-old and his father
were toward the back of the quick
ly filling elevator when a kindly
woman turned to the Dad and said,
“Aren’t you afraid your little boy
will be badly smashed?”
“Not a chance, lady,” answered
Daddy. “He bites.”

em tip of the state’s central val

parched farm lands at the south
ern end, nearly 500 miles away.
The great Central Valley is 500
miles long, 100 miles wide and sup
ports 1% million people in its
towns and on its farms.
To each of the communities along
the river channels and project
canals (towns like Red Bluff, pop
ulation 3,800; Tracy, 4,000; Men-
dota, 700; Lindsay, 4,300; Walnut
Creek, 1,500) the arrival of Central
Valley water has special signifi
cance. Each one nf them depends
directly or indirectly on agriculture
and related farm industries as its
main source of income.
Of the 220 different crops grown
on Central Valley farms, the prin
cipal ones are field crops—Includ
ing alfalfa, irrigated pasture, sugar
beets, beans, barley, cotton and
rice; truck crops—including aspar
agus, tomatoes, melons and a va
riety of other vegetables; fruits
and nuts, including grapes, peaches,
plums, prunes, apricots, pears,
figs, almonds, olives and oranges.
Practically all of these crops are
grown under irrigation, except for
some barley, almonds and beans.
Over 90 per cent of the gross
farm income of the valley is from
irrigated crops. Although the pro
duction of livestock for slaughter
and dairy products is very impor
tant, their present production is in
adequate to meet local require
ments.

ONE OF THE FIRST men to ad-,
vocate a concrete suggestion for
the solution of the area’s water
problem was CoL Robert B. Mar
shall, chief geographer for the U.S.
geological survey. In 1891, when he
first toured the inland basin. Col
onel Marshall envisioned a great
system of dams, canals and other
works.
His plan was made public in 1919,
and placed before the California
legislature in 1921. There followed
the “State Water Plan” of 1931,
forerunner of the Central Valley
project After the people of. Cali
fornia approved the plan, federal
assistance was - sought. In Septem
ber, 1935, President Ro&sevelt al
located funds for the project under
the Emergency Relief act. Con
struction began October 19, 1937,
under the direction of Walker R.
Young, later chief engineer for the
bureau of reclamation.
Individual units of the project
have b#en in partial operation
since 1940, but to date the project’s
initial features have not been op
erated as an integrated system.

Government May Be Legally Right, Morally Wrong
By Wright A. Patterson -
W HAT MAY BE MORALLY
wrong may not necessarily be
legally wrong. There was nothing
illegal in a Uhited States Senator’s
using his influence to secure a Re
construction Finance Corporation
loan for a client of his attorney son,
for which the son received a fee
of $21,000, but the senator’s action
was - definitely morally wrong.
No court of law would con
vict him of legal wrong doing,
but the court of public opinion
—the voters—should convict him
of moral wrong. At the next
election, when that senator is
- candidate for reelection, and
all others who have been mixed
up in the R.F.C. scandals, re
gardless of political affiliations,
they should be retired to private
life.
Such men should not be placed In
positions of influence. They are not
entitled to public confidence. The
Fulbright committee brought these
men into the limelight, but that
committee cannot convict them as
can the court of public apinion. Mor
ally they are guilty as were those
in the Harding administration, but
they were smoother, and avoided
legal wrong doing.
So long as they were only
morall/ crooked the President
condones their offense, and
sees nothing ^rong in the ac
tion of those on White House
payrolls, and finds no reason
for dropping them as public
employ***. That Is the job the
voters can do, but to do that
It may necessary to disci
pline the boss. The R.F.C. and
the sale oT federal jobs in Mis
sissippi are both sorry messes
that call for a thorough house
cleaning.
Secretary of State Acheson re
fused to turn his back on Alger
Hiss, convicted of perjury and
President Truman condoned Ach-
eson’s statement, as he has con
doned the actions of White House
employees in the R.F.C. scandals,
on the grounds they have committed
no legal crime. Evidently'immorali
ties have no place in his conception
of wrong doing, and such a concep
tion has no place in connection with
the presidential job. Like the scan
dals of the Harding administration,
it is a sorry mess.
*
Joe, Harry and Tom were all
subject to the draft, and all three
were asking for deferment for dif
ferent reasons, which each thought
was entirely legitimate. Congress
has made no definite rule that will
apply to those seeking deferment,
but instead of doing so, it has
passed that arduous duty to the
President, thus again abdicating a
job that is strictly up to the con
gress. Congress has abdicated in
so many instances that now the
President has more authority than
has any President in history.
That is not unusual confidence
on the part of congress in the pres
ent administrative branch of the
government, but rather a desire to
pass along to the President those
subjects that call for careful con
sideration, or those that might af
fect votes of the constituents of the
members of the senate or house.
It is the congressional version of
“let George do it.”
Such action on the part of Con
gress is unfair to the President,
and it is also unfair to Joe, Harry
and Tom. It leaves the decision in
their deferment cases in the hands
of a partisan politician. It is time
that congress was doing the' con
gressional job, the job for which
it was created, rather than con
tinuing to “pass the buck” on
subjects that call for thoughtful
consideration. Now it is up to the
President, rather than to the armed
services to say who must fight or
who need not, and the ward or pre
cinct boss can wield an influence.

As of March 1, the Gallup poll
shows only 26 per cent of the peo
ple are for President Truman. That
is the same poll that predicted his
defeat only three years ago, be
cause of which prediction many
ardent Republicanj lost, election
bets. It was wrong then, and it
might be now.

All day he drove around and at
supper-time he went wearily home.
Somehow the baked potatoes and
ham didn’t appeal to him.
“Where’s Tommy?” he demand
ed of his wife.
“He’ll be coming later,” Ida as
sured him. “He’s all excited about
these explosions. The fellows have
been kidding him about his dad not
stopping them. I’m sorry, Sam,”
she said, as he jumped up.
“Where was he last night?” he
persisted. “Out all hours!”
“Oh, just around, as he says.<

for a hamburger at Joe’s place. I
believe him, Sam.”
B UT Sam put on his hat and went
out. He had to know. - At Joe’s
place he got out of the car and went
in.
“Tommy in here last night for a
hamburger, Joe?” he asked.
“Yep, he was, Sam,” Joe an
swered. Just then there was an
other low boom and a thud. Sam
made for the door. He tracked the
sound by the crowd. And there he
found Tommy and his gang hover
ing over a hole in the bridge.
As he came into the light, Sam
saw dark rings around his son’s
eyes and smudges among the
freckles.
“I saw ’em, Dad. We’ve followed
that old jalopy till we saw them
stop by this creek, and we slipped
up and watched. It was that wild
bunch from Milville High. They had
a great stunt—balloons filled with
gas. They light? the kerosene-soaked
string ’and then beat it. And by the
time the string burns up to the
balloon they can be miles away.”
Sam scratched his head sheepish
ly. “As simple as that, eh? But
We’ll soon have them in jail if
you’ve got the proof.”
Tommy looked thonghtfnL
“Oh, I have. But what those
kids need is something to do—
not jail. There’s nothing for
kids to do around these little
towns but think np deviltry for
excitement. People ought to
help plan something for them to
do instead. I might have been
one of them myself.”
Sam grinned. “I guess you’re
right at that. In fact, I thought that
you might be in on it.”
“Me? Huh! I’ve been trailing
them down because the fellows said
my dad was a no-good sheriff, and
I knew better. I had to help.”
Sftm smiled again. “Guess I better
put you on as deputy. You had me
worried. Maybe we’ve been going
at this whole business wrong-end-to.
I’ll try your angle and see what we

God fai Grant Mas
G OD BEGINS to get into the life
of a nation when He gets into
the lives of people. It Is not dis
paraging the common man to point
out the plain fact that as between
one believer in God who is obscure,
and another who is prominent and
powerful,' the latter means more in
the long-run life of a nation.
It was ao in the era of Moses.
That was a time of religious con
fusion, just as it is today. Doubtless
there were many humble persons
at that time who had a living faith,
but if it had not been for Moses,
the nation of Israel would never
have been a nation, but would have
shrunk back into the ruck of little
no-account tribes, never to be heard
from again. When we hear that even
Moses’ own brother was so stupid
or bad as to lead the people in wor
shipping a gold-plated calf, we can
imagine what the masses of the
people were like.
. If the United States and Can
ada can be called Christian na
tions today, it is because we can
point te men en both sides of
the line who have been net only
high-calibre, influential men, but
also men not ashamed of their
faith In Ged.
An American congressman who
is respected by friends and oppo
nents alike, has said it is more im
portant to him to know what God
wants than what his constituents
want. Most governors of states pro
fess Religion; and some of the best
of them practice it. What America
would have been without such men,
oge can only guess; certainly far
worse than it is.
• • •
God in Laws and Lives
f** OD CAN also be in a nation’s
laws. It is true, we cannot run
a modern hation or municipality on
the laws of Leviticus, and nobody
wants to, not even the preachers
and. rabbis. Still, the laws of a
land either reflect the will of God
or they do not. So far as the laws
of a nation are in line with the
teachings and truth of Christ, so
far God is in the life of that nation.
But the question is not finally:
What do the laws prescribe, but do
the people respect the laws? God
does not get deeply into the life of
k nation until He gets into the
domes of high and low alike.
If the nation of Israel ever
became godly, they had Moses
to thank; yet he himself was
under no illusions as to the
people he left behind him. “1
know that after my death ye
will utterly corrupt yourselves
and turn -aside from the way
which I have commanded you.”
(Dent. 31: 29.)
It took centuries at toil and pa
tience on the part at God and His
prophets to change Israel from U'
nation mostly indifferent to God, to
a people mostly God-fearing; and
the change took place only as
homes changed.
Is ours a Christian nation today?
The answer is not in our constitu
tion, not in our leading men, not
in our history or laws or traditions;
the answer is in our homes. When
the cry goes up “Back to God!”
the place to start back, and the
place that counts most, is our
homes.
