the silver, so she made her ptfi>

S AMUEL JOHNSON (or wa« It
some angler's wife?) once
said: “Fishing is a stick and a
piece of string with a fish at one
end and a fool at the other.”
Obviously Mr. Johnson never had
enough experience to be able to
thread a worm on a fishhook in
such a way as to give head and
tail, or vice versa, equal freedom
of movement. And, if by any
stretch of the imagination there
is a tinge of truth in Mr. John
son’s statement, then millions of
Americans today are making a
part-time career out of the busi
ness of making fools of them
selves.
You can call fishing a sport,
diversion, or a waste of time—
if you belong to Mr. J’s school of
thought. Call It what you will,
yet no student of the situation
can deny that it is the most uni
versal and diversified of all sport
ing activities. There’s a type of
fishing scaled to every purse and
appetite—from the small boy, oft-
pictured with bent pin, wrapping
twine and twisted stick, to the
business tycoon who skippers a
yacht rigged for tarpon and sail-
flsh. It costs no more than a man
is able or willing to ,pay. A few
cents will buy hooks and line, the
nearest canebreak provides a pole.
As for bait, there’s a wasp nesl
in the tree by the creek; the fields
are full of grasshoppers; and the
river bottoms alive with worms.
And, they’re all for free.
Fishing a fool’s occupation?
Hardly so. Fishing is the sport of
contemplation; the true fisherman
a master of the art of relaxation.
He leaves his troubles at home oi
in the office every time he reaches
for his fishing rod. And in this
hurried, harried world, we
in today, relaxation la a luxurj
cheap at any price.

BIRTH OF FATHER
By Fran Pachter
M ARK haunted the hospital
spending every second he
could spare from business to be
near his wife Cynthia. The event
of one’s first born is always hard
to bear and Mark had reason to
suffer more severe mental agony
than most fathers for he had not
wanted the baby and Cynthia had
known it. He had argued that
they had a perfect * life and a
baby would spoil it. Cynthia had
kept the news from him as long
as she dared but her changing
figure and extreme tiredness had
forced confession. He had raged
and stormed, blaming her for
this intrusion on their privacy.
Her white face rose before him,
now hanntingly pitiful in silent
protest, lacking the vigor to with
stand his accusations. That had
been but a month ago but in that
short time they had lost one an
other completely. He had stub
bornly refused to make any move
toward reconciliation and she had
encased her feelings in a shell of
solitude. He knew that she wept
silently, confided in no one.
.Mark had not faced up to the
eminent role of fatherhood until
he had entered the fathers sanc
tuary of the hospitaL He had ar
rived more annoyed over being
called from a meeting than fright
ened over the reason for the calL
T.iirtonlng to the others soon to be
fathers had forced upon him rev
elation that a baby was something
special His anger dissipated as
the hours passed and he learned
that the baby would be prema
ture. The fact that Cynthia was
on the critical list had turned
anger into anxiety. Leafing
through a magazine he noted an
article on preemies. That was
what his baby would be. He read
avidly engrossed with the new
knowledge that was to be of in
terest to him. How tiny they
were! Tiny and very helpless.
Why a baby that small would fit
the palm of his hand. Sweat
stood out on his forehead as he
realized for the first time that birth
was a significant wonderful thing,
miraculous in its magnitude. Vivid
descriptions of the ordeals of
pregnancy caused Mark to fed
a deathly sickness accompanied
by shame take hold of him. Cyn
thia had weathered this alone.
A nurse came toward him and
fear gripped him. Her expres
sion indicated bad news for some
one. Mark breathed a prayer,
God, don’t let her be looking for
me. He felt with certainty that
she bore the news that Cynthia
and the baby were dead. The
thought held him immovable and
he gripped the chair as he awaited
her words.
“Mr. Blake, the doctor wishes
to see you.”
Mark emitted a sigh of relief.
He wasn’t Mr. Blake. He was
Mark Weldon. It was the man sit
ting next to him who rose and
unsteadily followed the nurse out
of the room. Tension hung heavy
in the room after he left and Mark
hid his hands iif his face his own
inner torment temporarily eased.
“Mr. Weldon!” A nurse nudged
him. “You may see your wife now.
You have a new son.”
The words refused to penetrate
for a moment and it was not un
til Mark found himself at Cyn
thia’s bedside and saw that she
was all right that he felt his crisis
was really over. He knelt beside
her, oblivious of the nurse nearby,
and whispered low, “Can you ever
forgive me?”
“Are you still angry?” she
asked.
“Angry!” Mark cradled her in'
his arms and said, “I’m the
proudest and most humble man
in this hospitaL”
The nurse left the room mut
tering to herself, “You just can’t
ever predict the reaction of a
new father.”
