Riding the Trail

Riding my horse on a wild rose trail
Where the whispering wind stirs the
petals pink,
Pausing awhile by the grapevine swing
That's swaying yet by the rivers
brink,
Thinking of music of birds and song
That once were Present and now are
Past,
Dreaming of trails in day long gone
My horse and / on the trail at last.
Ny horse and on that trail that leads
From days long past to Tomorrow's
that come,
Two that are true and of faith that's
fast
Until the sands of our lives are run.
Then let it be when that day comes
I'm asked to report at the pearly gate,
Feel no surprise that you see me come
Leading my horse that we know our
fate.
Feel no surprise that I bring my friend
Whom time has tested for merit true,
Feel no surprise, if he's turned away.
That where he goes, there I go, too.

White perch in the first run
are usually the largest that visit
the upper river. Many average
over q pound, for bait use blood
worms, angle worms, minnows, or
artificial lures If the water is
clear. These fish are followed by
the herring that are principally
caught by snagging, with gang
hooks. At the end Of May the

we feel certain that the run Of

was way above average.

tunity for one Of you men that
are retired and are looking for

makes walking a great distance
difficult but he can fish from q

The National Capital Skeet Club
wishes to announce that commenc-

to shooting every Wednesday after
noon in addition to the regular

Visitors are more than welcome
and will be given instruction If
desired.
Virginia has made a good plant
ing Of brook and rainbow trout
this season, some in nearby
waters. We feel that the anglers
should cooperate by purchasing
licenses and observing bag limits.
Fishing Would Return
If this is done it won't be long
before real fishing returns to
local waters. The more revenue
from licenses, the more fish
raised and planted by the State
Conservation Commission.
Suckers are biting we'll in all,
