Regatta Bring Out Many Columbia Yachtsmen Over Week End
|Chckomougo, Monmode Lake,
May Become South's Main ::
Inland Boating Center

The Tennessee Valleys newest
manmade lake, Chickamauga, is
destined to become the South's
chief inland recreational boating
center If present activity is any in
dication of future growth.
With waters of the vast $1,000
acre reservoir impounded only this
spring, several hundred boats al
ready are In use on the lake and
public and private marina construc-
tion now under way will provide
facilities for more than 1000 pleas
ure craft before the present season
ends.
Authorities Are Helping.
The Tennessee Valley Authority,
which maintains boat landings and
public basins on other lakes in the
tennessee River chain, Is building
a marina of modest size on Chick
amauga to care for $50 boats.
The State of Tennessee, in de-
veloping Harrison Bay State Park,
will create a boat basin for 1900
craft and may expand this project
to handle 1000 boats Of all types.
Hamilton County authorities are
putting in a marina of $50 boats
capacity and the city of Dayton is
constructing on T. v. A. leased land
a public park with storage and
service dock for approximately 200
boats.
In addition to public expenditures,
two privately owned marinas will be
built on Chickamauga this summer
and four concessions licensed for
fishing camps and docks.
The Chickamauga reservoir has
a shoreline of 500 miles and the
backwaters extend for some So miles
up the Tennessee. Locks allow
navigation to the lower river with
its Hales Bar, Guntersville, Wheeler,
Wilson and Pickwick lakes, similarly
formed T. v. A. dams.
Great Increase Since 1885.
These reservoirs and the land
locked storage basin of Norris Lake,
above Knoxville, have been re-
sponslble for phenomenal in
crease in boating along the Ten
nessee during the past five years.
From two or three hundred boats
In 1885, there were more than
5000 recreational craft of all types
IN use on all of the T. v. A. lakes
last year.

The rodeo will be held from the

North Beach Wants Fair.
And while on the subject of fish,
ing rodeos. the Board of Trade of
North Beach and Chesapeake Beach.
Md, is making a bid for the 194l
Chesapeake Bay Fishing Fair. The
proposed date is an early week end
in September of next year. and if
this goes through it will be a big
break for local anglers. North

spot to Washington.

Trophies Presented Winners
Of Potomac River SuiIino

Sailors of the District who con-
cluded organized racing on the
Potomac several weeks ago sang
"Auld Lang Syne" at Capital Yacht
Club last night.
The occasion was the presentation
OF trophies to winners of Potomac
River Sailing Associations recent
races at Gunston Cove, Va. It
marked the last meeting of the group
until its fall series of races begin
late in September.
Meanwhile numerous shippers were
preparing to take up moorings at
nearby Chesapeake Bay sailing cen
ters for a summer of regattas and
club races.
Commodore Prentice Edrington

fishing, particularly regarding rock.
Some big stripers have been caught
there this week by both the drift
crab method OF fishing and by troll
ing.
Trollers in that area are addicted
to using heavy lead. which in some
instances takes all the fight out of
the fish, something you don't have
to contend with when cumming or
grabbing.
Solomons is doing better with
cumming with none taken so far
by trolling. When going anywhere

FREEDOM. +. IN THE FALL

It's fall again. Golden rod in the
fence corners. . = thinner kind of sun
light through long, still afternoons. :.
and toward evening the sound of boys
voices drifting in from vacant lots
where they re practicing football.
From Maine to California; from the
Canadian border to the Rio Grande,
football is the order of the day as 1t
always is this time of year. There are
big games in great university bowls
which the whole country attends by
radio. little games between rival
high schools of the utmost Importance
to the students themselves. and for
every official college or high school
game a dozen "pick-up" games In
back yards, pastures, vacant lots. some
times even on busy city streets.
We can take it for granted that Am
erican boys have the privilege of play,
ing football when, and pretty much,
where they please. It's one OF our
rIghts,-a small thing. to be sure, but
characteristic of the American way OF
life and the Freedom bred in us anc
heretofore accepted without question
But today Freedom everywhere is
being questioned. For the first time in
our lives we are having to consider
what this precious heritage of ours,
handed down to us from freedom loving
ancestry, means in terms of our every
, day life.
We find it has many means familiar
to us all:
small things, such as the right to
play football in a vacant lot simply
as pastime.
large things. such as the right of the
individual worker to belong or not to
! belong to trade union.
personal things, such as the right OF
citizens to join organizations OF any
kind they wish-so long as they are
not aimed at destroying our precious
| Constitution.
vital things, such as the right OF
free speech and free press.
Coulee City dispatch. [volume] (Coulee City, Wash.) 19??-19??, 1940-10-10


And beyond these-the right to
home life within the State; the right
to spiritual belief and the freedom to
exercise it in church. chapel. syna-
gogue or mosque.
All of these freedoms rest on the
tripod of those greater freedoms-one
leg of which is representative democ-
racy; another civil and religious Iber-
ties; and the third, free business enter
prises. All three must be sustained 1t
our personal freedoms listed above are
to be preserved and the sound of boys
PLAYING football continue to be heard
