For cleaner teeth, for a Give It A Try It won’t be long now until the angler, while his hunting brethren are busy afield, will be getting ready to store his fishing gear for the winter—everywhere but in the South, that is. However, the wise angler who gets enjoyment out of the use of his tackle, doesn’t have to “break down” for the winter un less he prefers to do so. Whether or not he realizes it, there is a way to enjoy his fishing tackle all through the winter and, at the same time, perfect his tech nique. Join Casting Club The way to do that is to join a casting club somewhere in the vicinity; but if there is no casting club, that doesn’t bar the sport we’re discussing. If there is a casting club, our angler may join it and then enjoy the use of his casting or fly rod equipment through the long months of winter. These clubs, as a rule, have an indoor area wherein to cast. They use targets, or play “skish,” which is the same sort of game, wherein targets also are used. The members gain a remark able degree of accuracy, to say nothing of the pleasure obtained by “keeping their hand in” on fishing gear, topics and forecasts. And that accuracy garnered in practice sessions will stand the angler in good stead the next sea son when he is required to do some “pin-point" casting to get at that “just right” spot under afi overhanging branch or beside a rock or log. May Enter Competition The angler who becomes fasci nated with this indoor sport usually moves into the tournament field and in time will find himself cast ing in competition as an individual contender or as a member of his club’s competitive team. And, if he goes this far, a whole new field of casting technique and interest is opened up for him. But right here we are concerned with the average angler who just hates to put his gear away, come winter, and who would vastly ap preciate the enjoyment he is now missing if he would ally himself with some casting club. But, as we started to point out earlier, there doesn’t have to be an organized club in existence to provide this winter sport. If there is no such organization, the angler usually may obtain per mission to use some indoor area, say the YMCA, a nearby armory, a local auditorium, a gymnasium —anyplace where there is head- room and enough length for or dinary accuracy casting. The equipment? Your own, of course. For, unless you plan to enter the tournament-casting field, you may get all the fun you want out of the tackle you actually use on stream or lake. Cost Is Negligible The cost is practically nothing, inasmuch as casting weights may be obtained for about 35 cents each and two of these will keep an angler in the practice-casting business for a long while. It is true, of course, that as one becomes more proficient in this pastime, there may result a great er desire for higher-priced, ad vanced tackle and the caster may find himself shopping, or planning to shop for the lightning-fast tour nament-type reels and the longer, lighter tournament rods. But, that is a matter for the in dividual and, as we have pointed out, need not interfere with real sport and enjoyment in general practice-casting activities during the winter. . AAA Fish for Mounting It is preferred by most taxi dermists to receive a fish un skinned in order that they may make a cast of the same. Very often this is impossible. After catching a fish you want mounted, place it on a piece of paper and run a pencil carefully around it, making an accurate outline and also the size and individual shape. After making the outline and notes, the fish is prepared as fol lows: Cut open the side, not the belly, preserving the perfect side. Take off skin carefully—most skin will peel off very easily. Fins should be separated at the base from the body with a sharp pair of scissors or a knife. Scrape off grease with a spoon. Skin should be spread and rubbed down with salt on the inner side only and let lay until the next day. The following day, roll it up in a piece of paper and ship in a box or tin can with air holes. brighter smile. *. try Calox yourself 1 A srodoct of McKesson a bobbin! AAA Take It Easy This is a tip on taking oft that plastic covering on the handle of that new bait-casting or fly rod which you’ll get this Christmas, or perhaps next spring. The pitch is to dampen the cov ering before trying to remove it. In that way you can avoid doing what we did: chipping two pieces of cork off the handle of a brand- new fly rod when we tried to rip the covering with the fingernails. Just take It easy.

Psychologists and educators have been contending for some time that comic boks of the proper kind could be used to further the emo tional, mental and educational de velopment of children. The only trouble, they have added, is that such magazines would have to be By INEZ GERHARD T HE very British James Mason seems to have developed a strong liking for anti-British screen roles. His two latest for 29th Cen tury-Fox certainly indicate it. In “The Desert Fox” he gives a mag nificent performance as the late Field Marshal Rommel, one of Eng land’s most unrelenting enemies during World War II. And he has just finished work in “5 Fingers”, in which, as the highest paid spy JAMES MASON in history, he dies his prying at the British Embassy in Istanbul, for the Nazis. But his next film will probably find him playing a Frenchman; he’s pretty well set as Inspector Javert in “Les Miser- ables”. Mason .has the support of an outstanding cast In “The Des ert Fox”, which was produced by Nnnnally Johnson and di rected by Henry Hathaway. Jessica Tandy, Cedric Hard- wicke. Lather Adler and Leo Carroll are all excellent. Marilyn Monroe will be starred by Darryl Zanuck in “Night With out Sleep”, playing a baby sitter —which will be pretty easy, for she was acting as a baby sitter when she was discovered by Wil liam Mayberry. She went to school on the lot, did “Asphalt Jungle” at MGM, whereupon her own studio realized that she was really stellar material. NBC’s Ed Herlihy has been va cationing in Bermuda with his wife and children year after year. So he’s finally bought a cottage there. Maybe he was egged on after a recent storm flooded the basement of his home in a suburb of New York. The basement is used as a party and play room, and the house hold formed a bucket brigade to bail it out. “Tembo”, a feature-length film dealing with Archer Howard Hill’s big game African bow-and-arrow hunting safari, will be distributed by RKO. By Wright A. Patterson OES THE PRESIDENT really believe that we are destined in the near future to be engaged in a full scale shooting war with Russia, or are his numerous war scares merely for the purpose of encourag ing more and larger appropriations and the levying of more and great er taxes? His actions In connection with our preparations for war would not indicate that he fears an immediate conflict. We are cer tainly not preparing for such an eventuality. He announced a year ago that Russia had perfected an atom bomb. On the basis of that state ment congress authorized an air fleet of 75 fighting groups including a larger number of bomber groups. The President did not then think such an air force was needed, and arbitrarily reduced the number to 62 groups, despite the verdict of the congress and the air commission which he had appointed. Since then he has raised the fig ures to 85 groups, but has not order ed the planes or recruited the per sonnel for such a force. We are told that Russia has now an air force of 50,000 fighting planes, and the President said that Russia has Lie atom bomb with which to destroy our ground forces and to devastate the towns and cities of our Euro pean allies as well a* those of this country. To meet that force we have. In cluding those of our European al- especially designed to meet psy chological theories and still be en tertaining. One of the country’s leading comic book publishers, after a year of intensive research, has begun issuing a comic magazine based on the recommendations of psycholo gists and educators as to the “ideal’’ comics magazine for children in the three-to-eight age bracket. He is convinced that if his new publi cation is a success, other comic book publishers will recognize the need for really constructive comic magazines and follow his lead. The publisher, Leverett Gleason, expects the test to prove the theories of authorities that the pow erful influence of comics magazines on children can be utilized in a con structive way. Gleason estimates that 80,000,000 comic > magazines are purchased each month and that each| of these has three readers. Prominent educators and psy chologists have agreed that comics magazines can be used to em phasize the moral and ethical teach ings of parents. They have advo cated comics magazines 4 s a means of draining normal aggres sions of children that might other wise erupt into outright aggressive acts. These authorities see comics as a means of teaching a child how to read, and the use of good gram mar and a sense of artistic discrim ination. And they have at the same time complained that the widely distributed comics magazines are not accomplishing all these objec tives. “There is no reason why all of these objectives cannot be achieved in a comics magazine that is still exciting enough to hold the young reader’s interest,” Gleason said. He quoted Josette Frank, educa tional associate of the Child Study Association: “One must regret that comic mag azines have, in aome respects, missed their opportunities for giving children more than they do. “The comic magazine has a high potential value not only because its form is so acceptable to children blit because it can be timely and con temporary in a way books cannot. Here, perhaps, more effectively than elsewhere, we can find an opportunity to give children for ward looking attitudes, ideas and ideals about the world they live in.” • • • OBVIOUSLY, no desirable comic book could portray sex, cruelty or primitive violence, Gleason said. But the findings showed that many other factors were of equal or greater importance. Perfect grammar should be used by the characters so that children can learn through the example of the heroes and heroines. Particu lar attention should be devoted to the art work which would be of a quality comparable to that of the best in children’s hard-cover books. As with all comic books, these pic tures, used as a guide to the mean ing of the words, should help the young child learn to read. Six thousand schools already are using comic books in connection with the school curriculum, Glea son reported. The issuance of comic magazines of superior quality might easily make them an in strument all schools would want to use to further the teaching of young children, particularly as a means of teaching them to learn to read and to like to read. lies, some 5,000 effective plenes, which include some 50 or 60 capable of attacking Russia. We are talking of or planning for a fleet of from 50,000 to 75,000 war planes. But so far it is only talk, none of them have been ordered. VP a have adequate facilities for building such a force, but the job cannot be done overnight. Should Russia have the force she is credited with having, and if she has atomic bombs, as the President tells us she has, without our having adequate air protection for our airplane plants, Russia could destroy those plane plants, and there would be no pos sibility of our meeting the Russian bombers. We are told we are building tanks, guns, and other equipment for the ground forces. We are recruiting, oy draft methods, an army of 3,500,000 men, but such an army cannot hope to alone meet the some 7,000,000 men of the Russian Red army. No ground army we can muster, what ever its size, can defeat Russia, without an adequate air force to support and protect it. Such an air force is the first thing needed should war come, and it n seeming ly the last thing being provided. Possibly those who are directing the preparedness program are list ening only to the top brass of the army. They would think in terms of ground troops and their equipment. To win a war ground troops are necessary but Eisenhower knows that air power is equally needed. Congress authorized and ap- I ANE was .a member of a large family. There were four boys and three girls besides Jane. The moth er was dead. The eight children lived with their father on a farm on the edge of Gransberry. Jane was the eldest of all the children. When their mother died Jane assumed the responsibili ties of’ the household. She was a large girl, very plain and rather dull looking. I met her and the rest of the family last summer when vacation ing in Gransberry. She fascinated me because she was so sturdy and strong and uncomplaining. The long er I knew the family the more I came to realize how easy it was for the others to lean on Jane. She did two-thirds of the work. It was interesting (and a litle an noying) to watch. I soon came to understand that Jane was the goat. When one of them wanted a holiday he or she would pretend to be sick. Jane kept things going. It seemed unfair to me. They thought Jane was dull. They took advantage of her. The mere I talked to Jane the more I began to wonder if she were really dull. Yet sometimes I become discouraged. She seemed absolutely stnpid. “Last year,” I said to her one day, “I met a family named Burdon, down south. There were six children in the family, and poor Mrs. Burdon had her hands full. She assumed all the responsibility and did all the work. Her children had never been used to anything else, so it never occurred to them to pitch in and help. The more she gave, the more they asked. It really wasn’t the children’s fault. They never propriated fnnds for the con struction of radar listening equipment for both the east and the west coast that our planes might have an advance warning of Russian planes, should an at tack come. The President has ignored that legislation. It was a lack of radar that primarily was the cause of the Pearl Har bor catastrophe. A German contractor had delay ed the completion cf the station, and, because they did not know of the approaching Jap planes, such air force as we had in Hawaii were caught on the ground and destroyed along with the naval vessels that could have gotten out of the harbor, had their commanders known what was coming. But with that recent illustration as a reminder, the President ^has not taken steps to protect our east and west coasts, with ell they would need should war actually come. It is such things that cause me to think that the President is using bis frequently repeated war scares' for political purposes rather than be cause of bis actual belief in any threat of war. A full scale congres sional investigation of our prepared ness program and what is happening might be well worth while. It is too serious a matter merely for the playing of politics. If we are threatened with war, we must prepare both for offense and defense, but we must do it in a practical way, not merely talk about I it, and do first things first. I came to realize how easy It was for the others to lean on Jane. knew anything different. Eventually the inevitable happened. Mrs. Bur don wore herself out. One day she was taken sick and died. She was only 51 years old.” I shook my Lead. “It was certainly a pity. Aftev she had gone the children discovered that they could get along very nice ly by themselves. They found out that they could do the things they had heretofore always believed themselves incapable of doing.” I stopped talking and looked steadily at Jane. But she only re turned my look dully. “Wasn't it a shame!” she said. 1 didn’t see Jane ag^in that sum mer. Three days After my talk with her I went home. This summer I came to Grans berry again. One day I drove past the Whitefield farm and, acting on impulse, drew up at the front gate. Amelia, Jane’s oldest sister, was sitting on the front porch. “Is Jane in?” 1 asked. Amelia-looked at me with wide eyes. “Yes, but she’s not feeling well. She's lying down this after noon.” “Lying down? Jane? May I see her?” Amelia went into the house. A moment later she came to the door and beckoned to me. I went into the front room. The shades were drawn'. It was quiet and cool. Jane was lying on a couch. She smiled up at me. She looked much prettier than the last time I saw her. “She’s been having attacks,” . Amelia explained. “She can’t go on for very long witbuut lying down. We’ve been doing every thing to make her well. We don’t let her do much of the work.” “I’m sure I’ll be all right^ very soon,” Jane «aid. Amelia’s eyes lighted. “Oh, I hope so!” I didn’t say much. I merely list ened. Presently I understood that Jane was spending a good deal of time on the couch these days. Oc casionally she was able to go out driving in the evening with a young man from town who had developed an interest in her. After a while I rose to go. "Take care of yourself,” I told Jane. “Don’t try to rush things. If you started in too soon you might have a setback.” “I know,” she said. “How are the Burdon children?” “Who? Oh! They’re fine! Get ting along nicely.” She sighed. “I’m glad. My sisters and brothers won’t let me. work much. When I get strong again they want to be sure I’ll stay strong.” And Jane’s right eyelid fluttered downward as she looked at me. Drinking Fish Fresh water fish and sharks do not drink water.
