COUNT ON EDDIE TO
GET, TELL BIG ONE

One can always tell without look
ing at the calendar that spring is
nearing this section of the country
by annual appearance of fish stor-
les. Eddie Clough, former rural
mail carrier at Willow River and
now carrier on Route No. 1 at Bar
mum, comes forth with his dona-
ton. the first for this season.
However, like Dizzy Dean, of base
ball fame, Eddie usually backs up
his stories with material evidence.
The subject at hand is headed
in Eddie's own words, "A big one
that did not get way" Mr.. Clough
who, when not giving his mail pa
irons efficient service, usually ira
vels the highways and byways to
the various lakes both winter and
summer in quest of the finny mon
sters, and during one of these tricks
to Big Lake, near Barnum, he
came upon and captured the object
of this story.
His feat was accomplished
through the enticement of one of
his own secret dangler bats when
a big one was attracted near the
surface of the water and was
speared. However, the spear
bounded off the fish like a ball
off a cement sidewalk and disap-
pointment was written on Mr..
Clough's countenance, but not for
long, for within about 20 minutes
the fish returned from out of the
deep, tail first and was captured.
1t weighed, according to statistics.
1876 pounds, was 81 inches long and
81 inches in girth.
Besides knowing how to fish the
Barnum mail carrier has come to
realize that they have plenty of
snow in Carlton county and he is
also sure they have larger fish in
the lake than any that have been
caught.

A report comes through a weekly
press release from Congressman Har-
old Knutson in Washington, that
a new old age pension bill, designed
to amend the Social Security Act has
been introduced. The measure has
been presented by Rep. Roy o. Wood
ruff of Michigan, and if adopted,
would increase the federal contribu-
tion to old age pensions by the states
from SIS to $50 per month. This
would make it possible for needy cid
people to receive as much as $45 per
month for the individual neiiciary
or as much as $50 per month for an
aged couple when necessary to meet
unusual conditions such as sickness,
etc.
