Fine Catches of
Fish Reported
Six NOrtherns Weighed
48 Pounds-Lines Snapped
When Big Ones Hit

Two Westbrook, Minnesota, men,
who happily located obscure Lily
Lake, found themselves endowed
with some reel luck that be-
comes the catch Of the week, &C
cording to Oscar Lying, whose farm
goes to the tapping edge of the lake
five and one-half miles northwest
of the city.
Last Saturday afternoon Rudolph
Yahnke and Lawrence Olson came
in off the lake with six northerns
that piled up total of 48 pounds
of fish flesh. But six fish that
average eight pounds apiece is not
all. The gentlemen further en-
HANGED the tale by relaying to Mr..
Lying how five others attacked their
tackle with such viciousness that
hooks and leaders now litter the
bottom of Lily.
Now that the season is over, Clay
ton Stegner thought it safe enough
to show just what he was able to
be at his best with trout fishing
this summer. Just a week before
the September first trout season
closing, Clayton came up with the
best native trout he's had, and this
week he was showing picture Of
the beauty. Length fourteen inch
es, it weighed a little over a pound,
and it's speckled sides were over
cast with the traditional red mark
ing from gills to tail, characterizing
the rainbow. Average trout for
this section is of a size that re-
quires six to eight to the pound,
he said.
Cliff Gandrud is responsible for
the following story about number
of large fish caught in Sank Lake
Sunday. A number of strangers,
who had been fishing on Sank
Lake, displayed large number OF
fish to Mr.. Gandrud and his broth
er-in-law, and among them was one
large wall-eyed pike, and a number
of other fish as well as fine bunch
of large Great Northern pike. Five
of the northerns tipped the scales
in a group at fifty pounds. Cliff
says it was some catch.

limiting at turn of affairs that
may bring about a Russian-Japan-
csc alignment and looking for a
revamped industrial system to bring
to China new life," Cliff Domke,
just back from two years in the
war-torn Orient, settled back on
the front porch Of his parents here,
looked at a hometown scene fam
iliar and lapsed into observations
on China and the war in the Far
East.
Pointing out that China's guerilla
warfare is now harrassing the jap
anese numerically, he believes the
long time result of the war will
be that China's bigness will "en-
gulf Japan"
Remember" the young Carleton
college student, who taught in the
Ming I Middle School that moved
six times in the Japanese push,
cautioned early in an interview
with the Herald Saturday, that
anything say about China or the
war cannot be taken dogmatically.
I can't and shouldn't talk dogma
tically. We can only generalize and
on the basis of subtle forces at
work point to certain conclusions y
But anything may-and so often
does-happen tomorrow in China
he warned.
Surprisingly Saturday he said he
looked for an alignment with Rus
STA and Japan. An alignment that
would ultimately conclude a non
aggression pact. Monday it was
announced that the two had settled
their border troubles in the Far
East. Just how Japan, whose
whole propaganda theme has been
anti-Communist, can reconcile her
people to this new turn he doesn't
understand. For fear of Commun-
ism is the whole machinery around
which Japan marches to war, he
said.
"One of these subtle forces at
work in China is industrial recon
struction," he said. He pointed to
the total collapse of the Chinese
industrial setup with the great CEN

a new program, an industrial Co
operative, began to spring up. Since
last February, when the cooperative
movement really got underway, the
industrial wheels have turned to
such an extent that China is now
manufacturing everything from
"toothbrushes to machine guns"
Outside of three nerve centers for
the conduct Of the system, he said,
the manufacturing in China has
moved to the interior where a
sprinkling Of small shops employ
skilled laborers. For the first time
in China's history men are getting
a fair return for their labor" he
said.
The industrial reconstruction,
Cliff sees, is an emergency measure
but it has the inevitable outcome to
achieve a certain unity in the land.
Economically it's the new life of
China" he said.
Two years in China endeared the
people of the country to Cliff. It's
difficult to approach them at first,
there's that gulf of languages, the
Occident and the Orient-yet, he
said, what one needs most in deal

Foley Made Touchdown
In Third Quarter
Score 6 to O
TYPICAL FIRST GAME
Will Meet Willmar
There Friday,
September 22nd

After a game with about as
many surprises as a Christmas
necktie Harvey called the Foley
exhibition typical first game"
Pointing now for Willmar, who
promises to be a tOuglfie, he
voiced disappointment only in
his experienced men. But he
found compensation i'm some of
the fine play of the greener
players. Pointing that only
three men in the entire lineup
had played a ball game before,
Harvey expected rough going at
Willmar, as the lads take to
the road tomorrow evening, FRI
day. They'll be back on O-Sa-
&c field Friday, September 20,
with Morris.
Two teams, green" in the ways
of football as the grass they played
on, opened in spiritless ball game
Friday evening the night season
on O-Sa-Ge field that will bring
out local fans for four more ball
games this year. And with lesser
experience of the two was Sank
Centre.
For Foley, with running attack
that did get underway and threaten
mildly several times, finally crack
ed through in the third period with
a sustained drive of sixty yards
to score rather easily. Foley, lack
ing finish and timing nearly as
much as the Harvey troupe, was
six points better-and that's all.
Foley was winner 6 to O.
The ball game, that took on SEM
blance of action on a few spirited
occasions, wore through that third
quarter touchdown, Jagged to the
fourth and finally just dissolved at
the closing whistle like salt in wat
err.
Best break of the entire evening
was a cooling wave that sprung up
from the west in the late afternoon
to break the excessive heat that
had hampered practices for two
days. 1t brought more ideal tenn
peratures in which to play; the
weather treated spectators we'll.
Foley's third period scoring drive
was the elimination of their eve
ning's success. In that drive they
reached the peak of their perform
ance and then relaxed into their
old type of ball that spurted them
for short gains but found them
without punch enough to carry out
their threats. With Moxness, Par
ent and Henry leading a ground
attack, with the line opening nice
holes for them, Foley poured thru
from their own forty yard line.
Moxness snaked his way to a first
down, and Henry exploded for an
other. Beauwarski made the incest
run of the evening with a twenty
five yard gallop that brought him
to the one yard line.
From there, rather from their
own bungling than any stellar de-
fensive maneuvers Of Sank Centre,
it took Foley three plays to score.
Henry cracked over on the first
play but penalty, that turned up
to plague Foley again and again in
crucial spots, called the play back.
From the six yard line this time,
Henry cracked again, was short
just inches Of the goal. On the
third try Henry was over on a
pile Of players. But the running
try for point failed when the Sank

worse all the while.
Well, if any of you people are go
ing to the Fair, I'd advise you to go.
That's the best way of getting people
to follow your advice. Even then,
some people would stay home just to
show they have a mind of their own
and didn't need any counsel from any
individual on this green earth. But
whether you take my advice or not,
the Fair is still good place to visit.
The only trouble with me was that
my bank account was calling me home
all the while. IF I could get job

while and see more of the sights.
Still, poor folks must be satisfied with
small favors, and I'm one of 'em.

New Chesapeake Bay
Telephone Cable Laid
To Serve Eastern Shore
S8-Pair FOur-Mile Link Placed
Between Sandy Point and
Broad Creek

A new submarine telephone cable to
supplement existing facilities serving
the Eastern Shore of Maryland has
just been completed, according to a
statement made by officials of The
Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone
Company of Baltimore City. The
project cost about $4,000.
The cable, which is four miles long,
contains SO pairs of telephone wires
and stretches from Sandy Point on
the Western Shore to Broad Creek on
the Eastern Shore. The new cable
will follow approximately the same
route as the existing one and will pro-
vide facilities for ia message circuits
and two high quality broadcast cir
cults, which it is estimated will care
for future circuit requirements until
about 1860.
