CASA MARINA GUEST
LANDS FINE SAILFISH

Catching a sailfish, the
prize which is the browning
event of an anglers exper-
fence in these waters, was the
happy climax to a day of ex-
citing fishing enjoyed by
Mrs. H. F. McLaury of
Downes Grove, Illinois, yes
terday.
While the catch is not the
largest ever taken in these
waters, nor the heaviest,
nevertheless it was a trophy of
which any experienced angler
may we'll feel proud, as it
weighed So pounds and meas
ured seven feet four inches.
Mrs. McLaury, is the wife
of H. E. McLaury, advertis-
ing manager for the Chicago,
Burlington and Quincy Rail-
road, enjoying a vacation at
the Hotel Casa Marina. They
were out fishing as guests of
Mr.. and Mrs. Paul Warren
and Paul Warren, Jr., of
Riverside, ILL.,, also vacation
ing at the Casa Marina.
Never having caught a
sailfish before, Mrs. Nc
Laury is, as she might well
be, enthusiastic over having
taken one of the prizes
which other and more exper-
fenced anglers have tried for,
but never captured.

Raleigh, April 9-Options on 84,41O
acres of land for land demonstration

istration in North Carolina have been
exercised to date, Regional Director
Homer H. B. Mask said today. In
addition, options are yet to be exer-

more to round out these projects, and
-1,500 acres are under option for
farmsstead projects on which fami-
lies from the demonstration areas
are to be relocated.
more than $500 men are working
daily on the construction programs in
he demonstration areas" Director
Mask said. Hundreds of qualified
farm families are being added to the
roster of Resettlement's rehabilita-
ion program each week. Farms are
also being optioned to purchase as
rapidly as possible for a special ten

designed to bring lasting economic

numbers of farmers on a self-sustain-

reached magnitude in North Caro-
lima and the four neighboring states
grouped in Region Nv which wildly
answers the question, What is the
Resettlement Administration doing?'"
In the five states of Region Nv the
Federal government has already exer-
cised options on 284,67O acres of a
total of approximately 100000 acres
allotted for reforestation and recrea-
.ional demonstration projects and
has an additional $4,000 acres option
ed for resettlement of clients being
removed from the demonstration

are now employed in the development
of the Resettlement projects of the
region.
'tThe public is entitled to know
what the Resettlement Administration
is doing and an accounting of the
program it is making, both locally
and nationally" Mr.. Mask said.
hecOrO IN NaClOn
For the nation as whole, $3.50, 900
acres are being purchased by reset
Element. Most of this land is in pro-
blem areas, where wind and water
erosion and the cutting of timber have
des.t Dyed and Impoverished large
sections. Resettlement is operating
on the theory that these lands are
not bad lands but, rather, are being
badly used. These areas are being
withdrawn from further attempts at
agriculture and returned to forests
and recreational uses, for which they
are best adopted.
More than $4,000 farm families
are being helped to regain new ,secu-
rity and independence of relief
through the rehabilitation program
of the Resettlement Administration
