THIS SIDE OF PARADISE
FoR sANDHAl

When high clouds hurry to some
rendezvous.
And old gods meet by the sun
set fire.
My drifting thoughts always go
49, out to you
And to the dawn-lit Isles Of De
sire;
Where very summer day
throughout those years.
Rose-crowned. we laughed and
played in the sun,
And never knew crushed hopes
or signs or tears
Nor deep regrets when the day
was done;
Knew then but the call Of the
tropic moon,
Saw its magic IN each others
eyes,
We felt the night IN the warm,
dark lagoon.
And saw new Stars burn IN an
Gent skies.
And there alone IN our kingdom,
Happy we were.-but not wise
Yet who expects TO find wisdom
Just this side of paradisel

The big and clustering tuna Is
shy! Now isn't that like some
people? 1t is easily confused and
good deal of a fraidy No doubt
it could be made to detour by the
smaller fish that are scared in its
presence. But they just don't know
that! This, in face of the fact that
tuna is the largest fish in the waters
of the Gulf of Maine, except some
of the shark tribe. Some tunas
reach a length of IA feet or more
and weigh as much as 1900 pounds.
Tunas weighing 1000 pounds are not
uncommon.
1t leads small fish a merry chase
when it neighbors with them. Men
haden and mackerel have to be art
full dodgers in the presence of these
enemies, with their enormous ap-
petites. Even an eight-pound dog
fish can be swallowed whole by
tuna any time of day. Schools of
fish are special delight to the ever
hungry tuna and even squid are
apparently enjoyed on its menu.
Often schools of fish become
stranded, one way or another, in
their frantic efforts to escape the
pursuing tuna. Tuna is beautifully
colored when enjoying life in deep
waters. Out of the water, its colors
quickly lose their brilliance. The
dark, glossy, steel-blue black, with
gray or green reflections, is in
beautiful contrast with the silver
cheeks and silvery gray of the sides
and belly. Often tunas are further
decorated with bands or spots of
1rridescent pink on the sides of the
body. Further to enhance it's body
colors, there are contrasting shades

habit of tearing it's way through
wire nets and pounds, leaving WIDEN
ing holes through which other VAL
liable fish escape.
But the tuna has sporting pos
sibilitiesl That is another side of
the story Anglers will tell you fas-
cinating tales of how long and hard
the tuSsle was between them and
the sporty tuna. OF course, the
tuna, poor fish, lost!
Baby tunas grow rapidly for the
young of the year weigh as much as
30 ounces by october. There is yet
much for us to learn concerning the
family habits and possibilities OF
this valuable giant fish.
