IZAAK WALTON NOTES

Nov. 9 - Meeting of D. C. Chapter
at Raleigh Hotel.
Nov. 16 = Meeting of Bethesda :
Chevy Chase Chapter at National
Capitol Field Trials Club House.
Nov. 80 - Meeting of Silver Spring
Chapter at Liquor Dispensary Bldg.
Silver Spring Meeting
Members of the Silver Spring
Chapter are pleased with the in
creased concern over conservation af-
fairs as evidenced by the interest
shown at the meeting on October &c.
A number of members, who had not
been present for some time attended,
and with the help of DR.. Cook of the
Regional Council and De Witt Harry,
president of the Washington Chapter,
mapped out plans for an active con-
servation program.
The chairman of the Fish Commit
tee announced proposed change in
the method of stocking streams with
trout. Heretofore, trout received from
the hatcheries have been held in
ponds and fed until large enough to
be liberated in Point Branch. It is
hoped this year to get fingerlings to
release in small spring feeder streams
of Point, which will be naturally
stocked as the trout grow and move
down to the larger stream, If the ex-
pertinent is successful, Point Branch
will offer a more natural distribution
and gamer fish, much more difficult
to catch.
It was worth hearing the chairman
of the Game Committee describe
saving seventy-five bob-white by
feeding them cod liver oil with med
icine dropper.
Sligo And Northwest
Satisfaction was expressed at the
meeting over the plans for clearing
up the pollution in the suburban area.
A motion was passed to ask the Sub
urban Sanitary Commission to let the
Chapter and the people of the COM
munity know just what plans they
have in mind regarding Sligo and
Northwest Branch. The Silver Spring
Chapter is particularly concerned
over these two streams due to their

Support Needed


Throughout the country people
have become conservation conscious.
They see around them on every hand
waste, dissertation and destruction.
They see what should be the heritage
of generations to come disappearing
over few short months or years.
And they see the youth of today seek
ing artificial means of recreation,
lining the streets, filling inadequate
and expensive boys clubs, deprived of
the natural, the healthful, the HARM
less outlet that we have taken for
granted and wasted.
The Izaak Walton League recog-
Dized long ago the need of organiza-
ton and leadership. It is not merely
an organization Of sportsmen. It has
brought together in a unified move
ment conservationists, nature lovers
and sportsmen from all over the
country, coordinating their efforts to-
ward common end, the preservation
|of an outdoor heritage.

COTTON CROPS

With the large surplus of
cotton crops on. hand Secre-
tary Wallace suggests that
instead of dumping this sur
plus on foreign markets to
get any price on it, that cot
ton be made up into cloth
and distributed among our
own people at a price they
can afford to pay. He re-
minds us of the large amount
of cotton and farm products
that were sent to foreign
markets in the past, on a
credit basis. We have never
been able to collect. 1t is
right to figure that if any
gifts of cotton are to be made
it should be to our own peo-
pie. The problem of crop
surplus would cease to be a
problem if the American pur-
chaser could buy what he
needed. Secretary Wallace
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1938-11-03

is favorable to the idea of
extending crop insurance to
the cotton farmers as well as
serving the wheat areas. Of
course any action Of this
sort would require an amend
ment to the present law. Con-
sidering that a total of
100000 farmers have made
application for wheat crop
insurance for next year, the
cotton farmer will no doubt
welcome a like opportunity.
Two hundred thousand of
these applications came from
the winter wheat belt while
the other 10000 came from
spring wheat areas. Local
readers are interested in crop
insurance and it's outcome
and we feel sure the majority
agree with the Secretary of
Agriculture regarding the
foreign shipping angle.

IN MEMORIAM

To commemorate yearly
the eleventh of November is
the patriotic duty of each
American citizen. To re-
fresh the mind Of past years
and their toll, to pause in
respect and honor for those
sons of America who marched
to battle that peace might be
on earth among men and
nations. Amid vast rearma-
ment and protective war
measures we again come to
November 18th. Today, after
just recently passing through
an ordeal involving the peace
of the world, we pay added
reverence to the day, which
it merits, and we say a
prayer for a continued peace
for our country. In 1914 ma
tions were hurriedly involved
in conflict while today ma
tons parley and consider the
deed before jumping into an
other war. 1914 taught us
much which we have not for
gotten. We think more of
the horrors of war than the
glory of victory. The World
War was a devastating event
but with these added Is
years in the way of scientific

ARMIES IN SCHOOL

Before the Spanish war the
republic was engaged in edu-
eating a great population of
illiterate peasants. Along
came the war and books and
farm tools were laid aside for
guns. Nearly half of the peo-
pie were unable to read and
write. An American CORES
pendent went on a trip of
investigation of these soldier
schools and found the in
struction of the alphabet and
reading, the teaching of the

discoveries, with our modern
inventions of destruction, an
other world conflict would be
more fearful and terrifying.
Any history student can tell
you that in battles of old
fighting was rather a CLAM
orous way of displaying indi-
vidual bravery, this "going
off to the wars" was a heroes
road to fame and often ro-
nance. Today we are not
reluctant to acknowledge that
we fear war, and if this be
cowardice, so be it! Fear is
what called this recent meet
ing of Germany, Italy, France
and England. Why not fear
it when there were Is mil
lion killed in the World War?
1t is figured the war cost
$4,000 each for each man
killed, which goes to show
that the cost of converting
a living, breathing son into
a corpse runs high. AS we
complain of the cost of gov
eminent relief and jobs,
think again of the $4,000
spent for a mans destruc-
ton. Let us continue to fear
war for in this case fear is
not inglorious or cowardly, it
is rather noble and sane.

for illiterate soldiers are COM
pulsory. The officers and
hterate men can attend
classes of higher education if
they like, where are taught
science, geography and other
subjects of general culture.
Maybe the education of the
peasant will enable him to
become a citizen of deduction
in that war is not mans
salvation.

We are always eager and
willing to wave the flag and
shout hip-hip-hooray for any
American scene displaying
our democracy and the red,
white and blue. But there
have been times in all our
lives when the refrain of the

caught us where we weren't

triotic. Our problem has
