Fishing vessels and crews in Tokyo bay are being checked with Geiger counters for radio activity, following recent atomic explosion at Bikini. 1 THE BAFFLES By Mahoney | “Hi. mister Brooks—What’re your wife’s initials?" MAYOR McGUP By John Jarvis By LYN CONNELLY 'T'HERE is no question about it— * there are just some shows that should never attempt to do on the night side what they find to be a successful format in the daytime A few years back, Don Mc Neill transferred his highly suc cessful “Breakfast Club” on radio to a once-a-week nfght schedule on television with rather horrible results . The show, in fact, was such a colossal flop that it took two years for the network moguls to decide on a possible simulcast of the “Breakfast Club” intact Result: simply terrific Why? Perhaps because the cast are at home on the morning show—they’re natural and unassuming, whereas on the night experiment they were trying too hard to impress Big name celebrities were brought tn as guest stars in an effort to match other night time variety shows Don was stilted and ill at ease and he transmitted that feeling not only to the cast but to the audience . . And—let’s face it—corn can be digested in the morning but it leaves one flat in the evening Realizing that, the cast strived to be what they were not—sophisticated Now as their own selves they are won derful on TV and we predict an even rosier future for the show than it had on radio, if that is possible.

Springfield, Wood bine, Kansas: I remember when the Grand Army of the Republic (G. A. R.) held their annual camp meeting at Wadena, Minnesota. I shook hands with General Vansant who was one of the boys. They were something of a small army as they marched down the streets of Wadena. They would roast an ox at the celebration and one year a neighbor of mine carried the ox tail over his shoulder in the parade. At the celebrations they sold lemonade from a large stone jar at 5 cents a glass. # • # From Jessamine S. Burgum, Ar thur, N. D.: I remember when everyone looked forward for months to “going to the State Fair." Trans portation was either a one-horse buggy or a fringed-top surrey, or— if the family was large—a three- seated lumber wagon. My parents drove a fringe- topped phaeton — but, oh joy, — sometimes the current young man (if he had the courage and the cash) drove to our door in a top buggy with two prancing horses from the “livery barn." We were equal to the occasion with a “Gibson Girl" stylish cos tume, white shirtwaist, puffed sleeves and lace insertion, full dark skirt, high button shoes—and black cotton stockings. The skirts swept the ground, for ankles were not to he cpen. BOYS ARE THAT WAY By J. M. ELEAZER It was about this time of year that our old one-teacher school back in the woods turned out for the year. That was the time for much rejoicing. For we bad been penned up there from 8 until 4 o’clock for 5 to 6 months, and had almost forgotten what real liberty was. About this time too they let us pull our shoes off. I don’t recall ii it was a definite day in April, sign of the zodiac, or what, but some thing on the calendar set that im portant day for us. And we really looked forward to it. Seemed as though it would never come. On the appointed day, we were not hard to get out of bed. Antici pation was running so high that it was a sort of wakeful sleep for us then. All of this, even though we could not release our feet un til the hour was noon. In mid-morning we would start pestering parents, insisting it was very warm outside. But noon was the hour, and they could not come off until then. As the old family clock pointed straight up and struck the hour of 12, we lit out for the horse trough. There we sat on a rock, pulled our shoes and stockings off, and soused our feet into the cool water. That was to keep it from giving us a cold. Then we were foot-loose, as we were already fancy-free, for the glorious spring and summer that already showed bud, flower, and nesting bird a tevery turn of our wilderness in the Stone Hills of the Dutch Fork. Feet felt light, and our first impulse was to run. But sharp gravel and small briers soon deterred us and we were cautious for a while. By cotton chopping time they had toughened though, and we could hide our hoes at the other end of the row and run the mile clear to the creek, paying little attention to what was in the way. MARKWELL STAPLERS For Every Purpose NEWBERRY SUN Sports Afield By TED KESTING They’ve thrown the book away in Ohio—the big, fat book filled with pages of fine print that was supposed to regulate fishermen and improve fishing. Now you can go after any fish in the state in almost all public wlaters, anytime of the year, and keep all you can catch without regard to size, creel limits, or species. You nox only can, you’re encouraged to! This open-handed approach to angling is the result of a fish management program dedicated to the proposition ^hat most people go fishing simply to have fun. Out door writer Lee Templeton points out that Ohio is no virgin wilder ness. It is one of the smaller states in the Union and one of the more heavily populated. , What’s mor^, its public waters must carry a fishing pressure unmatched any where in the country. The decision to apply liberal ized fishing to this overcrowded situation was based on one of the most careful fishery investigations in the history of American con servation. This program prqved that Ohio fish were dying of old age! The story really begins in 1930 when the state»ran a series of test nettings on Buckeye Lake. It was apparent that the lake held tremendous quantities of fish that no one knew—or even dreamed— about. But it wasn’t until 1945 that the Wildlife Council agreed to set aside one lake for an experiment in liberalized fishing; more and more lakes were added, then' streams. Now public wnter in Ohio is wide open. Bio^gists have learned that the hook and line is one of the least efficient tools ever devised. Less than one percent of Ohio’s fish ermen ever became adept enough with it to consistently take the bag limits that were then in force. This insignificant harvest was no menace to the fish population. It didn’t begin to stack up against the fantastic reproductive power of fish. • Does this mean liberalization can be applied everywhere? Prob ably not. In fact, scientifically speaking, there is no guarantee that liberalization is the long-run answer in Ohio. It may be, but that. remains to be seen. And what is true in Ohio may not be true in other states. But it’s worth finding out. Over much of our country, and in the waters most of us must fish most of the time, liberalization of fers real promise of more fun, and —for those good enough to capita lize on it—longer stringers. Christ the Living Lord (Easter). Lesson for April 18: John 20:24-29, 21: 15-17. Golden Text: 20: 29. Thomas was absent when Jesus first appeared unto the disciples and when told of it he declared that he would not believe unless he could put his hands on the prints of the nails and thrust his hand into the side of the Lord. Ther^is the old saying that “See ing is believing," and thus did Thomas ask to see. But he really insisted upon the lowest order of proof of spiritual things. Such things can not be measured with a yardstick and weighed in the scales. Spiritual things are spir itually discerned. And Thomas was to learn that there is an evidence greater than that of all the senses, the evidence of faith. So did Jesus give his last beatitude, “Blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed." On the seashore, after Jesus and Peter and several others of the dis ciples had eaten the meal their Lord had prepared,’ the Master, doubtless drawing Peter apart, be gan his three-fold questioning of the disciple. Peter knew well that the three-fold questioning was con nected with his denial of his Lord in the palace of the high priest. With each avowal of Peter’s devo tion, Jesus bade Peter to feed his flock. The risen Christ had robbed death of its sting and stripped the grave of its victory. How necessary to the Christian faith is the resur rection! Let us rejoice anew in the blessed truth and give ourselves with great consecration to the work Jesus has left us to do. WALT AND OSCARS . . . Walt Disney adds four new “Oscars” to his collection totaling 18, awarded him for movie cartoons, starting with “Mickey Mouse.” PARR ANIMAL GETS WIDE RECOGNITION National honors have been awarded Parr Brothers and Head- spring Farm, Newberry, for an outstanding bull they own. The bull, Sam Dreaming Aristocrat, has been named a Superior Sire by The American Jersey Cattle Club, which has its national headquart^ ers in Columbus, Ohio. The Superior Sire rating indi cates that a bull has passed on both high production and good breed type to his daughters. Sam Dreaming Aristocrat has 23 daugh ters tested for production. They averaged 8,598 lbs. milk contain ing 484 lbs. butterfat on a twice- daily - milking, 305-day mature equivalent basis. The bull also has 40 daughters classified for breed type with an average rating of 84.88 points. The breed’s score card gives i(M) points to a perfect animal. ^ This sire also has been officially classified for type, and achieved the high rating of Very Good. Sam Dreaming Aristocrat was bred by C. B. Parr, Jr., and owned and developed by Parr Brothers and Headspring Farm. Many small boys are just the type their mothers wouldn’t want them to associate with. NOTICE TO CREDITORS AND OF FINAL SETTLEMENT / I will make a final settlement of the estate of Pauline G.
