= ONE day a sleek cruiser, motors
throbblng in powerful unison,
will come rolling up to the dock
in Sinepuxent Bay at Ocean
City, Md, and lay on the scales big
blue marlin or monster bluefln tuna.
And the rush will really be on. It's
on already, at the latest game fish
mine to be discovered off the Atlantic
Coast, less than $50 miles from Wash
ington. But the real possibilities of
the fishing in the broad Atlantic off
Ocean City have barely been tapped,
even though more than 600 white
marlin-Smallest of the three species
known to inhabit the eastern OCEAN
have been landed there this year.
The season is drawing near its end,
but still keen-eyed fishermen scan the
blue swells for the failing fin of the
marlin and daily they lay on the docks
at Ocean City anywhere from to 20
of the oceanic jumping jacks The
real beginning of big game fishing off
Ocean City will come the day some
one hooks into and lands a big blue
marlin or bluefn tuna, two of the
three species of fish generally rated
the toughest hombres in the finny
world. The other is the broadbill
sWordfsh.
Nor may that day be long delayed

Jack pioneered the white marlin fish,

miles off the coast, far out beyond the
steamship lanes, that were as big as
any laid on the docks at Bimini. the
famed West Indies big game fishing
center.
Mako shark, the only species of
shark classed as game fish, in that
they leave the water when hooked, and
put up tremendous fight, have been
caught off Ocean City. And the
latest testimonial to Ocean City's
growing fame as hot spot for the tall
tales of anglers, is a catch of big
sailflsh near Winter Quarter Lghtship
from a boat running out of Ocean
City. 1t was the first sailfish ever
caught on rod and reel north of Cape
Hatteras, but not the first seen there
Several small sailish were caught in
net last year at Ocean City. And
that sail was no white marlin with a
long .dorsal fin. 1t really was a sail
fish. Bill Hatch, the veteran Miami
guide who pilots Jacpau, Sd, the
Townsend cruiser, testified to that
Bill has lost count of the sailfish he
has boated. They ran far into the
hundreds, and he knows sailfish
when he sees one. He should, for he
originated the "drop-back' method
that is used today as the only sue
cessful way to hook sailfish and white
marlin.
SCORES of Washingtonians have
travelled down to Ocean City this
year and come back with stifly-pased
pictures of the proud angler standing
beside dead fish hanging by the tail
from the fishrack Dozens of marlin
have been mounted in the homes of
anglers from the Capital, caught off
the Jackspot, or on other Ocean City
marlin grounds. And the wonder Of it
all is that this unparalleled marlin

tendency on the part of guides and
sportsmen to release the marlin after

A bleeding fish is weakened and

Nearing the end of his fight, weak
ened by his struggle against the pliable
rod and the steady tension of the reel,
a marlin sometimes is cut in half by
the encircling teeth of the big shark.
Sutton had one cut in half not long
ago. He brought in only the half
of the marlin above the dorsal fin.
And now he shoots every shark he
can lure close enough to the boat TO

OCEAN CITY isn't yet blase about
its marlin fisheries. It's all very
new and the local Chamber of Com
merce likes the publicity. It's bring
ing thousands of dollars Of fishing
money to the little Maryland town
every summer; it gives the fishing
guides new business and big business,
and it has doomed the otherwise calm
little seaside resort to the proportions
of little Miami Anglers who 60

costs money. Regular charge for the
charter boats is $35 per day, which is
a little more than croaker fishermen
on Chesapeake Bay demand; a little
more than three times as much. 1t
isn't any pifning sport, from the
pocketbook angle or the sheer sport
ing side. But Ocean City is looking
for the day when the Townsends or
Sutton or Paschal or some Of the pro-
fessional pioneers like Crawford
Savage or Jim Whaey or Lew Ray

Portland Branch
On Honor Roll

The Portland branch is certain
to be included among the branches
on the honor roll of the NAACP.
1t has more than raised the years
apportonment, 500, necessary for
the recognition. Principally thru
the efforts of two members, Miss
Barbara Hubbard and Mrs. c. l..
Ingersoll who were entered in a
local membership icontest, this
goal was attained, and revealed at
the close of the race for member
ships. The contest officially end
ed Sunday, April "a, at the regul-
ar meeting of the NAACP at the
Y branch.
Kelly Foster, chairman of the
membership committee who had
charge of the friendly competi-
ton, declared, Though all the re-
ports are not in, and some are in
complete, we estimate we have
made about 5000 in the drive. We
are gratified to observe that, be-
tween them, Miss Hubbard and
Mrs. Ingersoll are directly respon-
sible for 402 new memberships.
Miss Hubbard won the contest as
she brought in 264 memberships;
Mrs. Ingersoll was second with
1873 memberships. Mrs. Robeina
Martin, who earlier withdrew from
the contest, has not made her re-
port, nor has Mrs. Cora Minor who
was also an entrant. Miss Hub
bard turned in $238 and Mrs. In
gersoll turned in $247. One of
Mrs. Ingersoll's memberships was
a 500 one, from Mrs. Thomas Ro-
berts, of Roberts Brothers depart
ment store.
Through the Enterprise COL
umns we do want to thank the
general public for it's generous CO.
operation in the drive, and remind
them that though the contest is
over, the Membership rolls are still
open," concluded Mr. Foster.
Miss Hubbard, winner of the
contest, wishes to thank all those
who assisted her in any way. Mrs.
Ingersoll also wishes to express
her appreciation to everyone who
helped her.

NAACP Gives Program

A most interesting program was
presented to well-filled church au-
dience Sunday, May 25, at the
Bethlehem Baptist Church, when
more than twenty organizations
sent representatives to speak at
Diamond Jubilee of the Emancipa-
ton Proclamation reviewing the
progress of Colored Americans.
The gathering was one of the out
standing affairs presenting by the
local NAACP branch in several
years, and was, to say the least,
most profitable in bringing the
men and women who are busilly
engaged in the various organiza-
tons together and blending their
efforts for the common good. We
like the idea of such gatherings
where real facts can be discussed
and comparisons made as these
things give hope to those who need
it most, better than in any other
way. The race needs every organ
ization it now has in order to reach
its entire population with a true
message of encouragement and
hope. The officers should be COM
plimented and supported and ev-
cry person should by all means
help to make the Branch what it
should be in any city where estab-
lished. We need facts and the Ma
tional has the facts.
