has produced slim returns
The method of snagging is
most simple and to those who
have never given the sport, pas
time or Whatizzit any considera'
ton we would like to say that it
requires no art whatsoever. The
only rules of the game is to keep
the snag hooks away from the
flesh, for they sure can bury
when once they start.
The most important factor in
the life of a snagger is to procure
a good stand. One must be on
hand early if he is to have his
pick of positions, for it is moth
ing unusual to see all the choice
spots occupied before the sun is
many hours spent. Select a rock
that sits well out into the water,
preferably one around which the
water moves rapidly.
Having thus acquired a likely
looking post, cast your line into
the water and jerk it back
ward and forward through the
swift current. Presently there'u
be a feeling on the bushes end
of the line and you will know
that the desired prey has been
hooked. A stout arm and a little
patience will soon bring reward.
The angler experienced with
rod and reel SCOTS at this
method of snagging, believing it
to be unsportSmanlike and con-
siders it an insult to the scien-
tific side of piscatorialism. His
method of procedure is entirely
different.
Standing on the rivers shore
line or from a boat. equipped
with light tackle, the angler
casts his line as though he was
after game fish. AS he reels in,
not with a jerky motion, but with
an even wind he throws the hook
into passing herring. the same
manner as he would a fish that
had just struck.
Of course this artistic method
is not as productive as the back
ward and forward motion used
by the ordinary snagger, but
therell be more thrills out Of
one fish than a dozen taken over
the regular route.
A snagging outfit consists Of
strong line, yes, a chalk line is
just the thing. rigged up with
one or two gang hooks and
enough lead to sink quickly. The
ideal pole is the ordinary cheap
bamboo type, anywhere from
9 to IL feet in length. The line
should be about three-quarters
the length of the pole to be
handled with rapidity and dis
patch.
At the last meeting Of the
Izaak Walton League, held on
Wednesday evening, DR.. Lewis
Radcliffe offered the following
motion, which was unanimously
adopted:
Moved, that the Washington,
D. c., Chapter of I. w. L. A.
commends the trustees of the
First Methodist Church of
Springfield, VT, in vindicating
the Rev. Lawrence Larrowe for
absenting himself from church
on May first to fish for trout,
and express the hope that more
Of our leaders will indulge in
the moments Of excitement, the
periods Of great thrill, as well as
the contemplative moods be-
tween bites when fishing, as
contributors to the moral and
religious well-being of our people.
A copy Of the motion and
action taken by the local Wal
tonians was forwarded to the
good sky pilot for his personal
file.

CENTRAL'S new
TRACK CAPTAIN
EYES OLYMPICS
BY PAUL BEACH

Like every OCner pOy, 1Q IKE
to get into the Olympics-that's
my ambition" said Dan Hoad.
ley, of Central High School, who
has been one Of Coach Hardie
Pierce's star trackmen for the
past three years.
The slender, tow-headed Mt.
Pleasanter who became interested
in high jumping in 1888, his last
year in junior high school, has
progressed q long way from those
days. Ever interested IN perfect
ing his style, he has evolved an
ability that definitely stamps him
as an unusual performer even at
his early age of II years.
NAMED CAPTAIN
His winning personality and
ability received the cognizance Of
his teammates yesterday when
they voted him captain Of the
squad.
Although he says he has topped
the bar at six feet in practice
sessions, his best efforts in meet
competition list such marks as
5 feet 10A inches in the inter.
high meet last year, and 5 feet
9A inches in the Maryland In.
terscholaStics this year. Inasmuch
as these accomplishments are bet
ter than any number Of the heights
hung up by collegiate soarers, the
merit is very evident.
In accordance with his desire
to become a decathlon athlete,
this earnest blue-eyed boy who
was born and raised in Washing
ton, has started no longer than
last year to compete in other
events. This year, lovers Of the
cinder sport can find his name
well up in the running in such
events as the 440-yard dash, the
1OO-yard dash, the broad Jump
and the mile relay, in addition to
his first love.
HARD WORKER
Although his skill has been
sufficient to garner any number
Of firsts, he isn't satisfied, and
to prove his ambition he has Just
changed his style from the spanner
to the straddle which he believes
gives him more layout and more
science.
Believing that one cannot tell
which coordination Of muscles is
the best until all the methods
have been tried-taking into con-
sideration ones speed, strength
and form-he offers a bit Of ad-
vice to beginning high jumpers:
"Any high jumper shouldn't
settle down to any definite form
until he has tried quite a few Of
them"
Inasmuch as Dan Is finishing
Central this June, he Is looking
forward to collegiate participation.
He would like to attend local
institution Of higher learning and
expresses himself in a manner
that indicates another ambition
aside from the Olympic decathlon
goal when he says that he would
like to get an athletic scholarship
out Of somebody"
KEEN RIVALRY
He accords the local schools the
laurels Of being the toughest COM
petition he has encountered, as
serting:
Although some Of the dis
tant teams are supposed to be
better, I don't see them putting
out any better high jumpers"
Coach Pierce adds his own par.
ticular laudatory comment:
Gas a boy, he's nice to work
with-he's hard worker. AS
a trackman, he's extra good
can use him in almost anything.
He has very unorthodox, but
effective style Of high jumping"

ANOTHER SAFETY RULE

AS much as most of us tinker
around automobiles there is still a
lot we don't know about them. But
in these recent years as the auto
deaths increase by leaps and
bounds, and when we are faced
with accidents on all sides, we have
come to the firm conviction that by
far the most important part of the
automobile is its brakes. If you go
into the study Of the cause Of acct
dents in this territory Astounding
Kennewick, you will be convinced
that a good number Of them could
have been prevented had the brakes
been working as well as the bal
ance of the car. It is strange that
all drivers don't realize this. There
is not much of an excuse for not
keeping brakes adjusted and in good
condition. It costs nothing if you
are mechanically inclined, and it
only costs a small amount if you
have to pay to have the work done.
But repairs, doctors bills and lost
time, all of which blame faulty
brakes, quickly run into big money.

IT'S YOUR TOWN

Do you ever get tired of Kenne-
wick? Have you ever longed for
brighter lights and more people.
more noise and hustle? Why not
get away for a couple of weeks and
satisfy the longing? Don't make the
mistake of selling out and packing
up the household goods before you
go. Just hop in the family bus and
look around where you figure you
can "do better" Study living con-
ditions, cost of keeping your fam
lily, schools and check up on tax
rates. See how about securing
credit at the stores if you are sick
and off Of a payroll for a few
weeks. Fill up on real information,
but find out for yourself, not be-
lieying everything that is told you.
Come on back home and figure
those costs and the living expenses
and conditions in this town. We
know the answer. You will become
a more enthusiastic booster of the
home town than you were before
you went away.

The same is true Of the so-called
"organizational strikes" when
pickets have been thrown around
plants to force workers to join some
particular union regardless Of their
own choice. We do not believe that
the rank and file Of union member
ship approve of such methods and
we believe that they will be glad to
be out from under such compulsion.
The contention that the measure
is contrary at variance with the
facts. Neither is it true that it takes
away from any the right of free
speech or any other personal right.
This measure is bitterly opposed be-
cause the labor leaders fear it is an
opening wedge which may finally
result in destroying their dictator
ship. That is all there is to it. Read
the measure in your pamphlet-it
is very brief and in simple language.

SOMETHING ACCOMPLISHED

Few of us work as hard as we
feel we do and It Is rare indeed to
find man or woman who does not
waste time at work. It isn't the
number Of hours a man spends at
his employment, as it Is what he ac-
complishes while there. Under
stress Of labor trouble and workers
unrest this Is q severe statement
when there Is much more emphasis
laid on hours" We waste time
trying to reach decisions and in
wondering which task to undertake
first. Too, there aren't many Of US
who work at high pressure unless
forced to do so, yet we all figure we
are doing more than the other fell
low. System Is necessary In order
for us to really get through our bus
mess efficiently. System Is as i'm
portant to the housewife as to the
office worker. The housewife about
Kennewick who lacks system usual
ly lacks q neat and orderly home.

INITIATIVE 100

Now that the primary election Is
out of the way, the time approaches
when voters should be informed on
issues to be decided in November.
Important among them is Initiative
100, the measure to regulate the
calling of strikes. This Initiative is
being opposed by labor leaders be-
cause it is designed to place the con-
troll of strikes in the rank and file
of the unions instead of in the rack
eteer leadership. Most of the OBJ
jections raised to this measure in
dictate either woeful ignorance Of
its provisions or a deliberate and
dishonest attempt to deceive.
It is not an attack on the rights
Of workers. It is more in the inter-
est of the wage earners of the state
than in the interest of employers
and the general public, though all
will benefit by its provisions.
The section requiring 80 days of
negotiation of written demands
with employers to settle differences
and a majority vote by the men on
the job, before a strike can be le-
gally called, will eliminate many
unnecessary strikes and save work.
ers loss Of many thousands of dol
lars in wages, such as has been
caused by hasty and needless strikes
in the past. Certainly such proceed
ure Is in the interest Of workers, as
it gives the men on the job the sole
right to determine whether or not
to strike.
OF practically equal importance
is Section 6, making picketing, in all
its forms, Illegal when no strike is
in progress. Enforcement of this
section would make impossible the
shut-downs of industry and business
caused by jurisdictional struggles
between rival labor factions, which
have caused such heavy losses Of
wages to workers in this state.
These shut-downs have been forced
by picketing methods which Initia-
tive No. 100 will outlaw excepting
when q strike has been called. The
workers who had no dispute with
employers, have been compelled to
forego their pay checks, because RI
val labor factions have quarreled.
