Good Menhaden Catches
Reported At Southport

SOUTHPORT, Nov. 21-Re1iable
information is to the effect that
this week is the first time since
March when local menhaden boats
have been able to operate without
suffering a loss to both the fac
tory and crews. The crews are
paid on a basis of the volume of
catches. This year there have not
been any catches to speak of and
the search for the fish entailed a
loss of both time and money.
The first three days this week
resulted in fairly satisfactory
catches. Reports from further up
the coast are also good now, indi-
eating further good catches here
between now and the close of the
season.
The same condition has existed
and still exists with regard to the
shrimp fishing industry. To these
workers the season has been about
the poorest ever known. The boats
have been able to make small
catches at all times and the quail
)ity was excellent.

THEY WANT OUR BEST PLANES

British and French purchasing agents
are seeking to buy 5000 warplanes in the
United States and news reports indicate
that the proposed buyers are insisting
that they be allowed to purchase the best
combat aircraft that can be manufactured.
News from Washington indicates that
the War Department will release for for
eign sale a Administrations fighter plane,
ordered by the Army less than year ago.
This Immediately surprises" some con-
gressmen who are amazed that the Army
does not insist upon receiving the first OF
the planes for its own use.
1t seems to us that if Great Britain
and France are ready to spend about
billion dollars in this country for fighting
planes, it will benefit the United States
to encourage the transaction. Certainly,
the manufacture of 5000 warplanes In
this country will develop our aircraft IN
dustry and enable it to supply the Army
and Navy at rate which would be i'm
possible without the Allied order.
1t is quite possible that in the manu-
facture of the planes designed for the
Allies, some improvements will be made
and the United States by postponing its
purchases, will be able to take advantage
of these improvements. If an emergency
should arise, the nation has ample power
to seize all planes being made in this coun-
try for its own use, regardless of contracts
which aircraft makers may have with
some other countries.

Desire on the part of the navy de-
partment to bear the cost of the con-
struction of the proposed fresh water
aqueduct from the mainland to Key West
is interpreted to mean that the local naval
station will not again be abandoned and
that the reestablishment of the navy yard
last fall will be permanent and remain as
an advance operating base for submarines
and destrOyers. The local submarine base
will prove an adequate facility in aiding
naval operations in this area. If Congress
man Cannon succeeds in his efforts to have
congress authorize the construction of the
pipe line, it appears as definite proof OF
the navy's intention to operate the Key
West station as an integral part of its de-
lenses of the Panama canal. Since the
aqueduct of necessity must run along the
keys there can be no reasonable doubt that
water will be furnished applicants all
along the line, as it will reduce the cost OF
operation to all individual users and serve
a long felt want. Whether the navy or
the water commission constructs the pipe
line, Key West and the keys are assured
of a plentiful supply of fresh water with
in a reasonable lapse of time.

CHARTER BOAT BUSINESS

A valuable asset to any resort COM
munity with fishing grounds is a fleet of
good charter boats operated by competent
shipmasters and guides. Among the thou
sands annually coming to Key West are
many hundreds of anglers who'd rather
fish than eat. If they cannot find good
boats and guides they will go where they
may be found.
Key West possesses slIch3a fleet and
such group of men. At the present time
there are Al boats in the charter fleet
operating from this port. Only few
years ago there were only five charter
boats in service here; only a few years ago
the annual income of the boat captains
amounted to less than $4,000. It is now
estimated that during the four months
that ended March 81 the charter boat
captains collected approximately $4,000
for their services and the use of their YES
sells.
That amount of money is considerably
more than small change. Spread among
the Al boats, although not all of them
shared equally in this income, the average
would be about $168O a boat. Certainly
net an excessive sum considering the
amount of money each boat captain has
invested and the time and expense in
volved in operating his boat. Mates must
be paid, fuel, bait, ice and tackle must be
bought. The income is not all net, not by
any stretch of the imagination, but it is
enough to give the boat owners and their
mates fairly decent living.
Solution of the problem of increasing
the income of the charter boatmen rests
in advertising. Instead of a four-month
season, the season should be expanded to
five, six or seven months. There is only
one way to bring about that happy situa-
tion-advertise
Advertise the fact that the best fish
ing occurs after the regular winter sea-
son, that it occurs during the spring and
early summer Advertise the seaworthi-
ness of the charter boats, the competency
of the captains and guides. Advertise the
sideshow aspects of fishing trip in the
WdCCIS hCy WCoC, oUNA 90 CAAN
schools of tropical fish that cavort and
strut their beauties free of charge over the
coral reefs and bay bottoms.
To advertise requires cooperation, the
combined contributions of all the charter
boat operators. Key West has a Charter
Boatmen's Association. 1t was formed to
protect the industry, give the fishermen
better service, increase the efficiency of
the guides and enhance the safety of the
boats This is the logical organization to
undertake an advertising and publicity
program.
Every charter boatman should be
member of that organization, so that their
industry may become better known and
their services more widely demanded.
What helps one, helps all. There can be
no progress, no betterment of conditions
among charter boatmen unless they all
fight the good cause together.

"GuLlIvEp'S travels"

SHOWING AT COLISEUM

"Gulliver," the giant-sized hero
of Jonathan Swift's classic fantasy,
is now the central figure in pic
ture that towers as much over or

the "Lilliputians"! It's "Gulliver's
