 Iris a source of encouragement, as well as qualification, to note a stead fly increasing sentiment among Ala bama lovers of the great outdoors, including, of course, every man with leaning toward real sportsmanship. for proper protection and conserva- tion of game and fish in this state.
 A year or so ago when anyone sug- gested a closed season for our splen- did game fish, the black bass, he inn mediately found himself on the de- fensive. Since the organization of the Alabama Fishermen's and Hunt CTS association, things are beginning to work around toward common sense and decency in matter that vitally concerns big economic propositions Many of the members of that organi- zation are doing some thinking and no little talking along the right lines. The force of education in the right direction is already working. Many men of forethought are waking up to the constantly increasing need for protection for the bass in order that the splendid sport of fishing may not be a thing of the past in a few years. These men are thinking of their sons and their sons sons, and what it means to them to enjoy a day now and then on the lakes and streams of the state.
 A Kentucky Story
 A little story told me last summer by & friend, while we were having fine sport with bass up in Tennessee, suggests one view of the situation. This is the way he told it:
 When I was boy I f1shed for bass in a beautiful Kentucky stream. was a bait fisherman then. My particular lure were worms from the garden. They were kept in the cell lar for days until they curled into knot and turned red. When about lS years old moved several hundred miles away and becamv so absorbed in work that for nearly 10 years l got no opportunity to return to my old home. During this time l became converted to fly fishing. Business

PEASANTS PREPARE FOR PASSION PLAY AT OBERAMMERGAU
Final Dress Rehearsal Will Be Held May 9-Many Thou sands Expected to At-
 tend Divine Drama
By Associated Press

Oberammergau, Bavaria, March IS. Preparations for the first postwar revival of the Passion play have pro- gressed sufficiently to enable the committee of elders to announce that the final dress rehearsal will be held May g. The first regular perform ances will be given on May 14.
 Thirty-five thousand applications for seats and sleeping accommoda- tions already have been received from abroad and, while the local manage ment has not yet received indications as to the extent to which Germans will patronize the productions of the play, it assumes at>German atten- dance will more than quadruple the foreign patronage.
 Anticipating an unusual influx of visitors in July and August, the man agement has decided to give Wed nesday performances during these months.
 AmpIify Staff
 Economic conditions have obliged tho village elders considerably to amplify their directing staff, not so much as concerns the production Of the pray ELS lO EOlfC tHc PiOb4Iii VI accommodating thousands of visitors for whom the comforts and conven fences of travel before the war are now not available.
 The conditions under which the play will be revived this year have shocked the rural simplicity of these peasant play producers and. while determined to prevent the sacred en- terprise from becoming basely com mercialized, they are now beginning to realize that the wars aftermath has produced an economic environ ment with which they are compelled to reckon.
 The municipality of Oberammergau has premptorily rejected a proposi ton that it levy tax on foreign visitors which, it declares. would be out of harmony with the origin and traditions of the play and also would conflict with, the purpose of the pres -' ent revival which is regarded as one way of achieving reconciliation be- tween Germany and the other nations. The town fathers, however. announce that they have been forced to assume a considerable initial expense in pre- pairing for the production, recon structing the theater which will seat 4,30o spectators and in providing costumes.
 Oberammergau also is sadly in need of municipal improvements to give the village a presentable attire when

 Mir Blower contends that everyone in the world could be rich and happy if one-half of the potential brain power of the world were utilized. He compares the' unused portion to the volume of water going over Niagara Falls, loss energy sufficient to run all of the power plant sof this coun- try, and only hinted at by the enor- nous results obtained from the puny amount which has already been har- messed by the hydro-e electric engi- neers.
