FISHERMEN, AH0Y! LET THIS SINK IN
Shore DVdltrs Build Fence to
 Keep Fish in Lake
tContributed)

Dear Andy Dale:
 Some time ago you told me of an amusing fishing incident where guy accidentally dropped the re- treatments overheard. \ large fish grabs the pint. somehow man. ages to remove the cork and after taking few healthy swigs does loop-the-loops, tail spins. etc. into the air making him so dizzy he didn't know whether he was under water or ashore. upsets the boat in- cluding the fisherman, and then dashes for the three mile limit to tackle rum fleet. We'll. Andy, I don't know of any place where the fish are so big they upsets rowboats but I knows a lake where fish arc more plentiful than small change in a dime museum.
 The fish are so plentiful that the residents who live near the lake had 10 place q fence around it to pre- vent them from coming ashore and causing disturbance. They claims that every time they launches a rowhoat the flnny tribe causes a traffic jam. the like of which is never seen in the city. The fish traveled in Schools" and a perfect attendance was the one thing they had most Of. Last week Jimmie Fat" Furlaini and me visited this lake and caught so many We almost got bow-legged and round -shoul- dered from carrying them home
 We borrowed a rowboat but used our own fishing tackle.
 The boat looked like 1t had been used to take passengers off Noah's Ark, the top being open but luckily the bottom was closed enough SOS we got along with only one bailing can. The fish saw us coming and were already gathering about like kids to a circus parade. They must Of thought 1t was picnic day and we was bringing the lunch. We rowcd slowly sos not to bump them but no matter how careful we was a | few got bruised as the oars acci- dently clipped them. They kept 'Il'ft NIut OP''I anu WdtCHtu us prepare the hooks as interested as though they was to be measured i for bathing suits or something. No sooner had I thrown a baited hook , overheard when fish makes a fly Ing tackle for it but fumbles tho catch and is tossed for a 5-yard loss as others shoulder him aside.

DEMOCRATS UNITE
 AT SMITH DINNER
Factions Forgotten at TSdme
 nial to Party Registrar

An unusual tribute to. man who has given so much of his time to politics that he is universally known as a politician and so labels h'm- self, was paid Thomas Jefferson Smith. New Britain's warhorse or democracy. Thursday night when more than loo friends gathered at the Burritt hotel to tender him q testimonial dinner.
 When d man has been in active politics for more than 40 years he has usually amassed a sufficient number of enemies to defeat him for anything he might seek. But not so with Tom smith. In the space of A hours through d mes sage sent by word of mouth. q large group Of democratic friends was reached and every one seemed eager 10 take part in the smith testimonial. If there are factions in the democratic party, and 1t Is claimed that there are, they were united at least for the evening, for
 
 from every district, and with every possible social and fraternal atfilia- ton. Each group seemed anxious to surpass fhc other in it's praise Of Thomas Jefferson smith, but when all had concluded and the genial registrar was called on for d few remarks. he arose with a story: "One time in a nearby city. l nomi mated for office a very good friend Of mine. After I had concluded he came over to me and said: Tom, you were so sincere that I almost bclievSd it myself
 Couldn't Be Elected Mayor
 It was nothing more than the characteristic modesty of smith, who for~ many years has been elect ed democratic registrar without op- position. and who has been men, tione, for mayor and for congress Further evidence of hls mod y might be seen in the reply ho made to a man who suggested that he be a candidate for mayor this year. "My good fricnl,' replied smith, q appreciate the compliment you pay me. But I don't have to run for mayor to find out whether could win. know the voting list of the city of New Britain. can come pretty cldsc to telling you who on that list would vote for r1e and who would not. l can show you in
 
 black and white that it isn't possi ble for me to win by long shot Nothing doing.'
 Registrar smith is not only a modest politician but also a thor Ough one. When he decided 10 be a candidate for the national delega- tion, he could have rested on his record of nearly a half century of work for his party and it is extreme ly unlikely that he would have failed 10 win the support of Hartford coun- ty. But he did not There was no country town 10 obscure for him to visit ill his campaign. and DO dele. gate, was regarded as too unim. portant for personal canvass. The result was that smith was elected 6 delegate by a unanimous ':ote.
