PARK TO CIRCLE
SHRINE DESIRED
Bill introduced in Con-
gfess to Enclose Car,
pentefs Hall

Philadelphia (U.P.)-A bill has
been introduced in Congress to
purchase or condemn properties
around Carpenters hall with the
eventual aim OF enclosing the his
toric building by q park.
Rep. J. Burwood DAILY has in
troduced the measure.
Carpenters Hall is surrounded
by Office and factory buildings, al
though It is one of the most hall
lowed OF American shRines.
Only narrow alley leads to the
door Of the place where the First
Continental Congress met and
where George Washington began
the task of enlisting his army.
The Carpenters Company which
owned the hall was composed of
carpenters and craftsmen. It's
members designed and built the
state house now known as Inds-
pendence hail.
The company defied King
George when he warned that no
"ragamuffins'' should be permitted
to meet in the building. BY "raga-
mullins" he meant such patriots as
Washington, Samuel Adams, John
Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Alex
ander Hamilton and Robert Nor
ris.
A. Raymond Raft, collector Of
the port, made the original sug-
gestion to create a park surround
ing the hall. He is a former presi-
dent of the present Carpenters

say that 9 thread line or heavier
should be used, so that it isn't so
easily cut by the sand. For the
blues use almost any cut bait.
For the channel bass use corned
mullet, fresh mullet, or crab.
Catches $50 Blues
BluefiSh are also to be had
closer to home and on the Chesa-
peake. The run is on its way up
without a doubt. How long it will
take to get to the local grounds
depends altogether on the weather.
We would say from 10 days to two
weeks.
At Messick, Va, on Tuesday
Capt. Floyd Rollins caught $50,
weighing from three to eight
pounds each. Not so thick yet as
they are on the beach but never
theless fine fishing. Each passing
day will see the size of the catches
increase as the schools come far
ther up.
In trolling for blues, which is
the way they will be caught here
for quite some time, it is recon-
mended that for first choice you
use feather bait, and for second
a Huntington drone from No. 4 to
No. Z in size. For your leader use
some of the fine airplane wire
and not the common piano wire,
which, with the large, fast fish, is
liable to kink and break. The
new Hazard stainless steel wire
can't be beaten. 1t is always in
good shape. The only reason it
must ever be replaced is because
once in a while you are apt to lose
it along with a lot of line.

It has always been a wonderful
fishing place and known for years
to the sportsman that was willing
to go long distances for his fun.
We have always recommended
it for real fishing from early
spring to late fall, but now for
the time being we are withdraw
ing that recommendation.
Due to the immense schools Of
blues that have hit in there this
spring, and the great numbers of
anglers that have gone there after
them, boats and men manning
them that certainly are not ex-
perienced, are taking out parties.
OF this practice, we have heard
quite little criticism. Inlet fish
ing requires good boats and ex-
perienced guides.

feel as if you must see and get in
on this fishing either write or call

If he gets you a boatman you

you where the best surf fishing is

it?
Many anglers never go back to
the boat fishing after once learn
ing its fine points. To get the
utmost from it, special tackle is
required, but it, can be accom-
plished, after a fashion, with al
most any heavy rod. The only
change that is absolutely neces-
