MARTEN, Manager Wholesale Distributor CITIES SERVICE Petroleum Products A N EXTENDED business, trip by automobile has led me to the following conclusion: highway markers are too few and too small; highway advertisements are too many and too big. Granted from the start that bill boards along the by-ways are usu- ally interesting. Most travelers who aren’t driving—(and some who are) enjoy reading them as they whiz along. For my money, however, the amusement they fur nish doesn’t compensate for the scenic views they hide and the distraction they bring to folks trying to follow road signs along a strange route. You can be sailing along until you oome upon a six-way intersec tion. It takes a couple of minutes to decipher all the little road signs and determine which way to proceed. You wouldn’t have any trouble getting to 'jJoe’s Place” however, because signs for the past 15 miles have been suggest ing that you turn left or right or go straight ahead at the next main intersection. Billboards are disappointing in another way, too. For miles upon miles you pass gaudy signs adver tising ‘‘Joe’s Place”—the food, the decor, the atmosphere, the eco nomical prices. You build up a mental vision of ‘‘Joe’s Place” and as each mile marker tells you it’s only so many more miles to go, you tingle with anticipation. You will soon be reaching the wonderful spot. And, so it happens. “Joe’s Place” is a spot—a small spot by a wide place in the road—not half so big as the signs which have described its wonders for mile upon mile. Reading roadside advertise ments while you travel is fun. But it’s just as exciting to count the white mules along the way.

BY THE OID TIMERS From Mrs. Cecil Brown Taylor, Clifton Force, Virginia: I love to sit and see in my mind’s eye the past. I remember over 72 years ago, the “Boom Days” in Kan sas City, Missouri. I saw the first electric street car as it made its first trip and all the celebration . . . the old cable cars and the incline down to Union Station. Most exciting was the large Mar ket House in the center of the city where you could buy all kinds of meat and food, vegetables, beef, Buffalo, venison and bear steaks, and in season, quail, prai rie chicken, pheasant, wild turkey and even pea fowl. The beautiful tail feathers of the pea fowl were made into a large fan which was used to keep the flies off the din ing room table. I remember when CoL Philip Spence (father of Congressman Brent Spence) was postmaster at Newport, Kentucky, and it took one hour to drive from Newport to Cold Spring (pix miles) with the toll gates all along the Alex andria Pike. From Bozo TexJno, San Antonio, Texas: I remember when . . . very few people trusted a bank and buried their money under the hearth in front of an open fire place or under a haystack. Ev erybody trusted and loved one another and nobody would tell a lie until they started trading coon dogs. There was no relief, no roads and no government controls of any kind. In less than four dec ades this beautiful, wonderful, scenic country has been ruined by modern improvements . . .

But just try a cast with one, and carefully watch its action as you retrieve. Then you’ll begin to see why a fish considers it a highly desirable morsel. Behind a suitable lure, it has an enticing wriggle just like some little creature swimming with plenty of body movement. And there is no substitute for real rind. Substitutes simply haven’t got that lifelike, convinc ing wriggle. Rind has it because it’s about the limpest thing imagin able, and still extremely strong and tough so it keeps its shape and stays on the hook. There are three types of lures with which pork rind is commorfly used. Here they are explained by Jason Lucas, angling editor of Sports Afield magazine. The first is the most deadly thing ever devised for trout and also for crappies. This consists of an off-center sinker, a colored keel (he prefers red), then a small spinner—one dangling free ly on a clevis and rotating on the wire stem. Behind this is either a plain hook or a fuzzy fly of the woolly-worm type. Then a small rind, with the barb pased through a hole near its head. The next type is for bass, pickerel and smaller pike. The only difference between it and the first lure is that this will have, instead of a loose spinner, a single vance revolving in a fixed phine around the wire shaft; and since it’s for a larger fish, the full bass strip will at least be tried at first. This single-vane spinner sets up more jiggle in the shank, and so gives the rind a slightly dif ferent action. Bass love it. The third and largest is for musky and large pike and a good second guess for bass. It coflsists of a casting spoon that’s meant to wobble, not spin, either treble or single hook, and the pork rind. Lately you can get rinds in several colors, but Lucas prefers white. He also suggests that you glance at your lure each time be fore casting to be sure the rind is not hung on the hook point. Buy good quality rind. The low er quality rinds just don’t seem to get limp enough to wriggle right. Don’t put the used rinds back into the jar with the new one because it has a bad effect on them. Carry an extra jar with water in it,‘for the used rinds. 1. Gnlmpe refers to (») an animal; (b) a garment; (e) a sickness. 2. The Krona Is a silver coin of (a) Russia; (b) Sweden; («) Denmark. 3.
