Lev-Lou, usually one of the last

N. c., where it will do business be-

Keziah is successful in his efforts
to interest capital in building a

anglers.
Southport is one of the finest fish

Coast, with a season of nearly 10
months, but poor accommodations
broken-down docks and no recrea-
ton for the days when the long rur
offshore is impossible, leaves anglers
with little desire to repeat theiI
visit.
Because this port offers real sport

hours. many local anglers would
fish from there if reasonable COM

Jerseyites on Fishing Jaunt.
Mass fishing trips never have
been highly regarded in the East
and outside of the regular summer
specials to Jersey and Long Island
resorts have been few and far be-
tween.
This week Walt Willis is riding
herd on 258 members of the High
Point Club of Orange, N j., on a
fishing jaunt to Palm Beach. IT
required a special train to haul
them to the Gulf Stream.
A trip from Washington easily
could be arranged provided there
were enough fishermen who would
like to try it. Local fans, however
find it too easy to hop in their car
and fish Florida where and when
their fancy dictates.

There is an abundance of black

Arnold Stewart, wants to spend a

We have given up thoughts of
waterfowl, for the time at least,
for the stripers are running in a
fashion we never have seen at this
season of the year. On both sides
of Indian River Inlet surf fisher
men are hooking busters every day.
1t appears as if the DelaWarians
are experiencing the same lack OF
shooting and excellent fishing as
sportsmen are finding in Maryland
and Virginia. In the Chesapeake,
as we'll as the Potomac, stripers are
surfacing freely. They are far
smaller than the II to l6 Founders
running the beaches, but what they
lack in size is made up in numbers.
Throughout last week, Eastern
Bay and Sharps Island were the
hot spots in the Upper Bay while
the steamboat channel from Point
No-Point to Northwest Middles pro-
vided most of the action in that
sector.
Food Source Is Mystery.
What they are feeding on Is a
mystery, for at this season there are
few fishes remaining in bay waters.

they will hunt the deep holes until

eetup the association also proposes
that from 1943 on all entrants for
the national public links champion
thip must be members of clubs which
are either Public Links Section men,
bers or regular active member clubs
using courses open to the public.
This will mean that no longer will
there be indiscriminate entries for
the national championship from
non-men1bers of clubs operating on
public courses.
The entry fee is to be fixed at 81
for the sectional qualifying rounds,
the funds to be used to pay expenses
of qualifiers to the championship
proper, and after qualification the
eligibles will pay an entry fee of So
instead of S.
These proposed changes, which
probably will be made next month
come from the association Public

of study. Tommy Doerer, jr, for
merly of East Potomac Park. now
located at Bradley Hills. has been

King and Queen who lived there
were middle-aged. For many years
the Queen had wished for a daugh-
ter. She had placed hundreds Of
gifts in the garden for the fairies
but her wish had never been granted.
The night when Santa visited the
castle she was sitting in the rose
garden with the King listening to
three men play their violins. Sud-
denly she saw falling star in the
heavens, and she whispered to her
self, "Oh, I wish for a daughter. "
Then she said to the King. Excuse
me, sire, I am going to my room
for a shawl
! She hurried up the great stone
stairs to her room and there in the
moonlight. on her bed. lay the baby
girl. The Queen was so excited she
called out her window and the King
came bounding upstairs, two at a
/ time.
They were so surprised they sat
on the edge of the bed several min
utes before the Queen picked up the
child. Then she saw the flashing
opal Santa had put in the babys S

stone of Ill omen" She hugged her

The King comforted her. 1--WE

But the Queen hardly slept that

were sitting in the garden and talk
ing at the time. That very night
they had been wishing for son.
That very day the young wife had
left a gift for the fairies in the
garden.
She told her husband, "You know
the pink honeysuckle that grows
over the wall? That's where I left
the gift"
1T is a good spot" he said, what
did you leave?"
She said, You remember the piece
of silk lace on my wedding dress?
I gave that to the fairies. 1t is the
finest thing I have
Lets see if it's gone" said the
young husband, springing to his
feet. He took his wife by the hand
and they tip-toed through the
moonlit garden to the stone wall
where the pink honeysuckle grew.
The lace was gone!
The wife clapped her hands and
jumped up and down in excite
ment. oh" she cried. Let's hurry
to the house. Maybe he is here al
ready"
So they ran and tumbled to the
house. And there lay the little baby
boy in the crib.
The young wife bent down to
pick him up, but she saw the white
eagles feather in his tiny hands.
"Oh, what is that?" she asked.
The young husband looked closer
and then smiled. why, the fairies
