an interesting program, not the
least of which is the Fish
Calling Contest"
Unique Pastime
In giving a preferred rating
TO this very unique paStime OF
calling fish, many observers
feel that these clubmen OF the
Eastern Shore and Bay region
have really got something here
over which lot of fuss can be
raised.
Heretofore. we have looked to
Iowa, when calling contests were
the vogue, to be tops on any
program that stressed vocal
expression, but with the advent
of this unique innovation, Max
Chambers band certainly must
have reached far into the bag
of tricks to come up with q
trinket of this variety.
Because of its novel nature,
the "fish-calling contest" should
unquestionably prove the piece
de resistance on the days sports
calendar.
To skeptics, the moot ques-
ton which remains to upset
their mental repose is: Will
the potential sacrificial victims
harken to the boisterous chants
and shriekS emoting from the
on-shore Fish Callers? Keep
your radio dialed to Station
Neptune and learn more OF
this amazing saga of the sea.
Other veteran riVermen are
on record as stating that a far
different technique must be
employed if the callers are to
meet with success in this feat.
Considering the fact that deni-
zens of the deep are devoid of
otic apparatus, it appears the
boys are in for a long afternoon
of yelling, but who cares after
the fourth chorus. It's still a
good fish story.
Sparkplug of Group
In tossing a few garlands to
those responsible for this party
It would certainly be amiss on
our part if Max Chambers,
youthful spark-plug Of the cor
poration, was not allotted q
portion of the spotlight. Max
serves to a large extent as the
dynamo for much Of the hap
penings this group undertakes.
During the past three years this
association has gained coolies

Another interesting feature
that should attract those who
are thrilled by the sport of ships
with sails is the Maryland Yacht
Club exhibit of 10 craft. under
the command of Capt. Howard
o. jenkins, which will vie in
competition with other gayly
decorated vessels for the trophy
to be awarded the ships skip
per whose vessel is adjudged the
most attractive.
The melodic background for
this setting by the sea will be
paced in rhythmic motion by
Charnick's Hawaiian Trouba-
dours and for the dance portion
Of the program Lynn Cheezum's
Boris Boys will heat up the
Gwingcopatior..
A fleet of 81 power boats
from Maryland's oyster navy"
under command of Capt. Amos
Creighton and the Coast Guard
cutters, Calypso and Pamblico,
have been assigned to the area
for patrol purposes.
Successful Venture

listed it is difficult to see how
this forthcoming festival of fish
and frolic can be other than
the most successful venture yet
attempted by the Chesapeake
Bay Fish Association.
