THURSDAY, APRIL 19, 1956 THE NEWBERRY SUN PAGE SEVEN Sports Afield (By TED KESTING) Did you realize that there probably are a dozen good float-fish ing streams within easy driving range of your home ? Some of these have never been floated, and most of them have never seen fisher men, except for brief stretches that are accessible by road. Catching fish when others go without, exploring new waters and savoring the fun of camping out are some of the rewards of float fishing on your own. Many sportsmen pay up to $50 a day for the privilege of float fishing. With proper equipment and a little know how, you can do it for nothing. Successful float fishing is dependent on proper equipment. In the boat line, the wooden John boat of the Ozarks and the high-— —bowed float boat of the Pacific Northwest are ideal. However, they’re not the boats for exploring and fishing a variety of streams. Both are too heavy—and light weight is a prerequisite. Probably the best material for the back-yard float-trip boats is Aluminum. It’s tough, light and reasonably inexpensive. Portability is the main prerequisite for a float-trip motor too. For average use, and depending on the boat, a motor in the 5% to IV2 hp category is preferred. Such a motor should be designed for power, not speed. Pay particular attention to the lower unit and the propeller. Look for a sturdy lower unit that can take a beating, and a low-pitch prop that develops power at low rpm. For transporting float-trip gear you may use an auto-top carrier; but if the boat weighs much over 100 pounds, a trailer will make loading and unloading easier. Float fishing and stream navigation calls for some know ledge of streams. This ability to “read the river” will come with experience but there are a few basic rules. These are outlined in an article by Buck Rogers that appears in the April issue of Sports Afield. Float fishing is the solution for those who don’t have the time and the money to find wilderness fishing hundreds of miles from liome. Even on streams near metropolitan areas there are some bends and holes that have somehow eluded roads and the resulting fishing pressure. Float fishing is a means to “get away” without going very far to do it. And it’s a fishing-finding process without equal.

OSTRICH PLUME HAT * By Richard Heard €t/^UP of coffee?” Sally asked ^ as Guy walked into the small, empty cafe. He nodded, and she poured the hot, black liquid from the shiny, metal pot. She placed the cup on the counter as he sat down. “What are you doing here alone tonight?” she asked. ”1 thought you’d be out with Meg. What’s the matter,” she added teasingly, “things not going so good with you two?” Guy didn’t want to tell her . . . to let her know that Meg had eloped with another fellow—a man that he didn’t even know. But he had to. She was sure to find out the next day anyway. It would be all over town by then. So he told her, and she listened sympathetically. Sally did her best to get his mind off the subject. She jested with him about the new hat that Mrs. Van de Loon had bought and brought in to show her. Sally was popular around the small, quiet town. People liked her be cause she was understanding. They came in and sat for hours over a couple of cups of coffee, talking to Sally, the waitress. “And right there in the middle of it . . . right in the middle of the bright orange felt,” she explained, “sits a great big, blue ostrich plume.” She made gestures to show him how it looked. Guy laughed at that *T can just imagine what she’ll look like walk ing into church Sunday.” They talked for thirty minutes on noth ing more than hats. Gradually, he forgot all about Meg. He forgot that a girl by the name of Meg ever existed. The girl that he thought he loved lost some of her importance. It was good, being with Sally. She was so real, so warmly human. “When do you get off work tonight?” “Same time. Eleven o’clock. Always the same,” she answered. “How about a drive, and then I’ll take you home?” he asked. “Sounds fine,” Sally replied. ‘T’d like to go for a ride tonight. Weather’s perfect for it” After Sally closed the cafe, Guy put the top of his convertible down, and they drove for what seemed hours and hours. Most of the time neither spoke; and yet, neither felt the need for speaking. “It wasn’t like this with Meg,” he thought “I always felt ill-at-ease unless one of us was talking.” The next two evenings were spent in the cafe, and on the following Sunday, Guy took Sally to church. When they walked down the aisle toward the front a few people turned half-way in their pews to see the young couple. They smiled approvingly. Both of them heard a woman whisper, “I never did think Meg Gamer was the girl for him.” Guy looked at Sally, but didn’t say anything. When Mrs. Van de Loon came in with her new hat, an usher had a terrible time trying not to laugh out loud. But finally, he could not hold it any longer. His laughter burst out and filled the church. He quickly fled to the lobby and closed the door. Mrs. Van de Loon kept on going down the aisle, entered a pew and quietly removed The Hat. i Sally and Guy had not turned to look as the others had. They were laughing to themselves. Thqy already knew that it was the ridic ulous orange hat with the blue ostrich plume in the middle, and they did not need to turn around. It was a small thing, and per haps insignificant but Guy realized then that he knew Sally very well. There was deep rooted under standing between them. There had not been this with Meg. Sally was the girl for him, he thought “And it took a silly looking hat to make me see it,” he whispered aloud, but to himself, not meaning that she should hear. “What did you say?” Sally asked very softly. “Nothing, nothing at all,” he answered quietly, and took her hand in his and srtiiled. Amvets Present Pulitzer Play COLUMBIA, April 9. — The Pulitzer Prize play, “Picnic”, by William Inge, once dramatic critic for the St. Louis Star-Times, will be presented at the Township Auditorium here beginning at 8:30 p. m., April 14 under the auspices of the AMVETS Post No. 2 of Columbia. “Picnic”, which will be present ed for the benefit of the Com munity Welfare Fund of the post, is a comedy-drama telling the story of a not very bright college football player, turned tramp, who arrives in a small Kansas town on a hot Labor Day and causes complications in the lives of a handful of women who find them selves attracted and repelled by the ruggedness of a crude kind of masculinity they had never en- cbuntered before.
