Use it for the very dirty things that you

SHIP SUBSIDY IS
NOT IMPOSSIBLE
HARDING AND ADVISORS HAVE
NOT YET FORMULATED A
MARINE PROGRAM.
WAR HAS WROUGHT CHANGES
Former Bitter Opponents to Subsidy
Propositions Now Apparently Want
Subsidy for Themselves.

Washington. - The revival of the
Emergency Fleet Corporation has
raised some important questions as to
the future of the American merchant
marine While President Harding and
his advisers have not yet reached a
definite program or policy, the signifi-
cant thing about the informal discus
sions which are now taking place is
the drift toward governm subsidy
of ships flying the American flag.
For years the subsidy idea has been
warmly espoused by shipping men
only to be bitterly denounced by the
members of Congress from agricultu-
raj states. Years ago no American
President would have felt warranted in
recommending subsidy to any class
of American enterprise. But the war
has wrought many changes, and it
would not be surprising if before the
end of the Harding administration a
ship subsidy bill, not only is proposed,
but actually put through Congress.
1t is felt that the chief source of OPP
position has vanished, for the agricul-
tural element in Congress has recent
ly come forward with request for
subsidy themselves. The proposal
that a hundred million dollar appropr1-
alton be made by the government to
finance agricultural projects is looked
upon by advocates of the ship subsidy
as an established precedent which ag-
ricultural senators and members of the
house will not be able to ignore.

PLAN FOR FISH PROTECTION
Hickory Kiwanians Held Their FIRST
Picnic Of the Season at Snuroros
Cabin on Little River Lake

Hickory.-News has reached H1ck-
orv that the Southern Power company
intends to inaugurate a plan for the
protection of fish in the Bridgewater
lakes and the protection OF anglers
from excessive charges by persons
who look merely at the commercial
side of the sport. Unless, one owns
boat on the lakes, he is out OF pocket
and out of luck, it is said, and the
plan is to call of all boats and for
the company to put on canoes OF its
own, These will be rented at nomt-
nal charge, persons who desire to fish
hiring them, reporting to wardens as
they set out and showing them their
catch as they return. In this way
there will be no excessive catches
carried off. It is also said the COM
pany plans to build comfortable club
house on the lakes, provide places to
stay and prevent camping except on
places designated.
Hickory Kiwanians held their first
picnic of the season at James G. Shu-
ford's cabin on Little river lake, en-
loved swimming and boating, ate
splendid picnic lunch and inspected
one of the prettiest rustic lodges in
this whole section.
