Roper When a man’s fly or plug cast ing is consistently bad, there’s a good chance that the trouble lies not with the tackle but with him self—that he hasn’t learned the proper technique of casting. But spinning is so intrinsically simple that if after your first couple of hours at it you’re still having trouble, it must be the fault of wrong tackle, not of anything you’re doing. The unfortunate fact is that there are on the market some spinning reels, and some rod-and- reel combinations, of erroneous de sign. Fortunately, it is a simple matter to avoid buying a misbe gotten cross between a spinning and casting reel. Jason Lucas, angling editor of Sports Afield magazine, points out that with a properly designed spinning reel the spool does not revolve in re trieving; there is a device to wrap the line back around the spool in the exact opposite of how it came off, so when the line 1 is all back on it’s as straight and untwisted as before you cast. You just make sure, when’ selecting a spinning reel, that some pickup gadget is wrapping the line back on and that the spool does not revolve. In spinning reels Lucas pre fers manual pickup to automatic. He thinks one with manual pickup is much simpler and more pleas ant to use after you get used to tt As for rods, most who are ex perienced with this type of fishlpg seem to prefer the seven-foot length, although many advocate shorter ones. The rod must be flexible enough to bend well in now your State casting lures from one eight to one quarter ounce. Bamboo and hollow glass rods work about equally well for spinning. Solid glass rods are fine in lengths up to around six feet, but in longer lengths they tend to become top heavy and stow in action. Some experts maintain that it’s a trifle easier to learn spinning with braided line, but practically all that I know now use monofila ment. For really good casting with fresh-water spinning lures, one shouldn’t use line over four- pound test. But when it’s neces sary to hold larger fish from dense weeds, snags and boulders, a six- pound test works quite well, and an eight-pound can be used. Any thing heavier is just begging for short, difficult casts, snarls and other troubles. One more important point— proper adjustment of the drag. Set .the drag when you have line way out in the water and are re trieving. This tfray you allow both for guide friction and for a small diameter of line on the spool. Set the drag at what you consider safely below the test of the line. You can get a good idea of what that is from the end with ymir hands. One of the few remaining fron tier forts is Oconee Station Guardhouse, north of Wal- halla. Its field-stone walls are ierced by loopholes for mus- ets. Oconee Station was erected in 1760 by British and Scottish troops in their actions against the Cherokee Indians.

S.C The beverage of moderation r k r k Time Getting Short For Applications To Rent Summer Cabins Only a few days are left to apply for family vacation cabins at the state parks this summer, according tb State 'Forester C. H. Flory, who pointed out that all applications should be sent to the State Com- mission of Forestry on or before March 1st. Because the demand for cabins each summer is greater than the number of families that can be accommodated. All requests received by March first are in cluded in a public drawing to give each family and equal opportunity to reserve a cabin. Cabins at Myrtle Beach, Edisto Beach, and Hunting Island State. Parks are available for families • perferring the seashore. Many families thinking of cool mountain breezes, want to spend their va cation in one of the cabins located at Oconee State Park or Table Rock State Park. Other family va cation cabins are located at Cheraw State Park In the sand hills, at Poinsett State Park in the ’’high hills of Santee”, at Givhaaw Ferry State Park on the beautiful Edisto River, and at Santee State Park on the shores of Lake Mar ion. Negro families may rent cabins at Pleasant Ridge State Park in the mountains of Greenville Coun- ty_ , or at the seashore at the Negro areas of Hunting Island State Park. Any family wanting to spend a week’s vacation at one of the state parks vacation cabins tills summer should write on or before March first to the S. C. State Commission of Forestry, P. O. Box 357, Columbia. From the day when he first mushed into Fort Yukon during a howling snowstorm. Jake McGow an had challenged the checker playing supremacy of old Pop Fill- bright. manager of the Lone Wolf Trading Exchange. As the long winter night settled down on the Arctic Circle and the luminous streamers of the Aurora Borealis flashed vividly across the northern sky. their checker tournament be came a subject of keen sporting interest to the loafers hunched around the big- stove. But neither Jake nor Pop would engage in the betting. “Betting spoils the fun,” Pop would say. and Jake would nod in good natuned agreement. Occasionally as they played. Pop would confide broken bite of his dream to the tall, dark McGowan, mien tt opened up In the Spring, Pop was planning to go Outside. He had a cache of furs and a bag of gold dust, which would more than pay his passage to Seattle and from there to his old home in the Ozarks. When Pop talked of going Out side, he relaxed in his , playing, and Jake began beating him more frequently. ’TVS that danged thirteenth move in the Old Fourteenth game , that gets me,” Pop explained. ' “But the Old Fourteenth is^still my favorite.” Then one dark morning when the Aurora Borealis wavered mys teriously in the sky, McGowan vanished. His dogs and sled were missing, and so were Pop's fur cache and gold dust. A fresh snow covered his trail. It took considerable urging and nagging by the boys to get Pop to report his loss to the police. Old Pop took it pretty hard. He brooded and for a time gave up his major interest in life—checker playing. What hurt him even more than the loss of his treasure and his broken dream of going Outside was the disappointment in human nature. When he mentioned Jake, it was in the way one might refer to a dead friend •Jake never cheated at check ers.” Pop would say ‘And he was particularly good at that tricky thirteenth move in the Old Four teenth.” Pop’s gray hair became snow white and he complained of the bitter cold, but he no longer spoke of going Outside. He did ask a few questions about the States, when a detachment of Air Force engi neers arrived . to make a survey for a military base north of Fort Yukon. Listening to them talk. Pop shook his head sadly. “Guess PH never make it." he said. A year passed. And near the end of another dismal Arctic night, a stranger mushed in from - the north with a dog sled loaded with furs. He strode into the exchange, shaking the snow from his fur coat. He resembled Jake McGow an, but when he drew the fur back from the lower part of his face, you could see the difference. He was clean shaven, and there was a livid scar across his right cheek. The nose, too, was flatter, broader than Jake’s had been. It looked as though it might have been crushed by a terrific blow. “Heard there was s checker player here,” he announced jovi ally. “So I mushed in for a few games.” In a short time he and Pop were bent over the checker board be hind the big stove. They played Pop’s favorite game. “The Old Fourteenth.” ' Halfway through the game. Pop said, “Excuse ms *tfl I get a drink of water." When he returned from the wa ter jar in the corner, he held an old forty-five bn his right hand. “Okay, Jake," he said. “You’ve changed your feature^ but you ain’t changed your game. You’re the only feller I ever knowed who played that tricky thirteenth move in the Old Fourteenth. Don’t move, ’til the boys fetch the lawmen." » A ^ 4 I k V\ * * FIRST MMRPER TRIM] ■ EVER RtCOmP,.
