finger or hand, but sometimes a

Fishing is good therapy—
both physical and emotional—
says the American Medical
Association.
Of course, the millions of
Americans who head for the
lakes and streams across the
nation each fishing season don’t
need a doctor to tell them that
fishing is good sport. They prob
ably have seen their doctor sit
ting in the next boat with a line
in the water.
Fishing can be elaborate,
complete with a trip to the sea
shore and renting deepsea boats
and equipment. Or it can be the
cane pole and worms affair on
the banks of a neighborhood
creek. Either way it gets us out
in the fresh air and sunshine,
gets our minds off the cares of
the day.
Unless you are the vigorous
type who wades through racing
rapids or rows hard for miles,
fishing is mild exercise. Fishing
is good for the body and spirit.
But it has some built-in hazards.
Most of them can be avoided.
The most common fishing
these accidents.
The wise fisherman guards
against accidents by shielding
the hook. One simple way to do
this is to stick a small cork over
the barb. Lures should be stored
in the tackle box until needed,
and returned promptly to the
box when removed from the
leader. The band of your favor
ite fishing hat is, of course, a
reasonably safe place to keep
lures you intend to use later in
the day.
Fly or bait casters are re
sponsible for many hook acci
dents to their fellow fishermen.
Particularly dangerous arc the
“side-winders” who cast with a
side arm motion rather than
overhead. Train yourself to look
before each cast to make certain
no one is in the way. This will
also save lures from snagging
on trees and bushes as you cast.
In removing a hook from
the fish, hold the fish firmly
under the gills, so that its head
can’t flop or wiggle. A freshly
caught fish is slippery and hard
to hold. Get a firm grip before
dislodging the hook.
If, despite precautions, a
hook becomes imbedded in your
hand or finger, don’t try to pull
it out. Your physician will snip
off the shank and push it
through, thus causing less
further damage to torn flesh.
The doctor will also, if neces
sary, administer antibiotics and
tetanus toxoid. Hook wounds
often lead to infection unless

KOSYGIN’S IMPORTANT
ANSWER
At the end of his nationally
televised press conference in
the United Nations headquart
ers in New York on June 25,
Soviet Premier Alexei Kosygin,
who had shown himself to be a
shrewd and coldly arrogant
replacement for the flam
boyant Khrushchev, stepped
down from the dais and walked
through the crowd with his
interpreter. One last question
was flung at him as he passed
a reporter — and I have yet
to see this question and its
revealing answer published
anywhere in America.
Reporter (a paraphrase of
the question): Do you think,
Mr. Premier, that class con
flict now has a chance to suc
ceed in the United States, and
do you still believe that the
proletarian dictatorship will be
established over the world?
The Russian Premier pausec
in his movement toward th(
door. His eyes leveled on th<
reporter. With an icy smile ht
uttered a clipped response:
“Of Course!”
Conquest the Goal
This was seen on television
but scarcely any of the new:
reporters heard the exchange
It was the most importan!
utterance made by Kosygin
during his American visit. Our
Government’s policy — diplo
matic and military; our na
tional defense planning — is
today based on a belief that
Kosygin and his Kremlin co
horts do not mean “of course”
but really mean “No!” to the
question of whether their goal
still is the conquest of the
world.
The belief in policy-shaping
treated properly.
Fishing is fun. A fish hook
through the hand can spoil
the day. With care it can be
avoided.
circles of our Government is
that the Soviet Communists
have forsaken their determina
tion to take over the world,
that they want a genuine
peace, and that we must
“build bridges” with the
Kremlin bosses. A national
news weekly magazine recent
ly quoted a “congressional
source” as follows: “LBJ
thinks the way to get the
Russians to do something is to
kill ‘em with kindness. Ninety
per cent of the people in the
State and Defense Depart
ments support the notion of
peace, trade, and friendship
with the Soviets.”
Helpful Build-up
Kosygin, throughout his
American visit, was “walking
on top of the world.” He ar
rived just after Soviet Com
munism had suffered a humi
liating defeat before the world,
in its backing of the Arab
confrontation with Israel. But
he was allowed to rise above
this defeat, to recover prest
ige. He was permitted to stride
across the world stage here
virtually unchallenged, a
towering figure, pampered by
the international press, fol
lowed step-by-step by the TV
networks, sought after re
peatedly by the President of
the United States (a second
invitation had to be blazoned
in the press before he granted
a “summit” with the U. S.
President).
What he said at his press
conference (following two dra
matic “confidential” meetings
with the President) was in
character with but not as im
portant as was, at the end of
the conference, his off-hand
reaffirmation of the Commu
nist goal of world domination.
At the conference, he said:
(1) Soviet Communism would
negotiate toward “peace” in
the Middle East only after
Israel had withdrawn its
troops from conquered areas;
(2 that rearming the Arab
nations was a Soviet decision
that need not concern other
nations; (3) that the U. S.
could expect nothing from the
USSR until American troops
were withdrawn unconditional
ly from South Vietnam; and
(4 that President Johnson
might be invited to visit Russia
— if troops were withdrawn
from Vietnam and other Soviet
demands accommodated.
The Truth Unchallenged
Some segments of the Ameri
can press reported that Kosy
gin’s subsequent visit to Red
Cuba was to persuade Castro
not to interfere with Latin
American nations (since, the
reports said, Russia wanted
good trade relationships with
Latin America). The truth is
that Soviet Communism in
January 1966 (with Kosygin
at the helm) set up Cuba as
the world-wide training head
quarters for Communist guer
rilla warfare, with Latin
America as a testing ground.
The truth is that Castro, with
his Communist beachhead in
the Western hemisphere, is a
key man in Soviet strategy to
achieve “the proletariat dic
tatorship over the world.”
Soviet arms are in the hands
o f Castro-trained guerrillas
operating in all Latin Ameri
can nations. Kosygin is de
lighted with this situation.
It would be a historic de
velopment if the Soviets de
cided to discard their world
ambitions and end their aggres
sive, subversive campaigns in
every nation. But there is not
one shred of evidence that
they intend to do so.
