White Marlin Season at Ocean City
Due to Get Under Way Any Day

1t has been said that fishing
scribes publicized Ocean City and it's
marlin catches beyond any other
fishing port in the country. That is
true. but interest demanded it. Until
Jack and Paul Townsend pioneered
fishing there in the early '30s and
the first marlin was caught on a
Jap feather bait in 1885 there was
no closely place where the everyday
fisherman could enjoy Ihe sport for
a reasonable expenditure.
In our opinion Ocean City will
become the No. l fishing port Of
the Northern fishing season during
the next 10 years. Capt. Bill Hatch,
who probably knows the white
marlin, their habits and migrations
as well as any living person believes
in the future of Ocean City. To
make it doubly attractive it is but
several hours drive from many large
cities and nearly a tenth of the
total population of the country.
Marlin fishing isn't new along the
Cape country coast because we have
the record of the first fish being
caught off Cape Charles 50-odd
years ago. Commercial men caught
them in their nets, which was the
initial attraction for the Townsends,
and occasional fish have been taken
by trolled bats. What is new in
this area is the manner of their
catching by sports anglers, knowing
they are present in numbers large

cast. Heading the cast are Buster
Crabbe, one-time Olympic SWIM
mer and star of the New York Aqua
cade last summer, and the Hopkins
twins, Marian and Virginia, from
the San Francisco Worlds Fair
Aquacade.
Other leaders are Diver Joe Pc
terson of Panama and Comedian
Larry Griswold.
Among the headliners are Charlie
Diehl, 235-pound diver; Ray Twar-
dy, comic from the New York
Worlds Fair; Jimmy Rice, Holly
wood stunt man; Cornelia ellis
sen, diver in the last Olympics at
Berlin; Joe Seymour, diver and an
other San Francisco performer, and
Cid Canale, springboard funny
man.
Another feature of the perform
ance is the water ballet of 20 girl
swimmers who perform several
rhythm chorus numbers.

Big Dog Show in Fall

Two Pups Will Be Sold
At Carnival to Boost
Research Work Fund

Plans for a sanction match this
month to be sponsored By the Ma
tional Capital Kennel Club have
been abandoned. Instead, new
set of plans for licensed show to
be held late in September or Octo-
Der, is under consideration.
While that leaves but little time
to get the show organized and to
attend to the many details. fall
show in this vicinity would meet
the demands Of many fanciers. At
that time many breeds of dogs are
at their best. A dog show in this
vicinity will bring large entry.
There will be an auction of two
5-month- -old, purebred pups Friday
night, if it is fine evening. Other
wise, the auction, like the rest OF
the shindig. will be held on the first
fair evening thereafter. The affair
is the annual carnival on the Jouett
Shouse estate, Wolftrap Farm, at
Vienna, Va.
1t is held for the benefit of the
Institute of Women's Professional
Relations and the proceeds will be
used to defray the expenses of the
occupational research done by this
institute.
The puppies both are males. One
is a wire haired terrier, sired by
Arthur Scharfeld's international
champion Talaurora Smasher, and
the other is a bulldog sired by
Lonarch of r. K. o. The puppies
are being donated by Arthur Schar-
field and Arthur Forbush, respec-
lively. The auctioneering will be
done by Laurence w. Chip Robert.
The institute has been benefited
more than once by a dog or dogs.

and most important the building of
a fleet capable of going after them.
That feet of marlin fishermen
started with several local boats after
the inlet blew through in 1884.
Today it numbers more than 80 fine
charter boats and is augmented
during July and August by as many
more private craft. Palm Beach and
Miami boatmen have found the
fishing sufficiently attractive to
come north. Within another five
years the feet should double in size.
Tuna Also Are Luring.
Many boatmen dislike the long
run offshore, very likely because
they find 1t unnecessary in their
home ports, but these long runs
have given anglers a chance at an
other big game fish that, while not
so spectacular as the marlin, never

the American Museum of Natural
History can differeniate between the
so-called yellow-fln and the Allison.
The latter has the long appendage
to the caudel and anal fins from the
start, the former is supposed to
acquire them after they have
reached considerable size.
To catch one or the other there is
no apparent difference. To see them
on the docks there isn't any diff
ference, but to try and claim a
record on one is just courting an
argument.
But yellow-fin or Allison, they are
what the sports fisherman is looking
for. We believe when the boats

In the winter, Dawson stayed aboard as watchman, confining himself to the new mess room with a little coal stove. Dawson plans to be aboard the Berkshire on its jour ney to New York to be delivered to the navy. But after that, Dawson doesn't know where he'll go.
 The fate of Clark Voorhees, painting of a New England noun tain and lake scene, which hung on the wall of the Berkshire, now rests with the government. Back in 1913 residents of Berkshire county in Massachusetts contributed more than $1,000 for the painting. Now an effort is ping made to return the painting to the county.
 Representative Allen T. Treadway, who participated in the dedication ceremonies 27 years ago, has been asked to help restore the painting to the BerkshireS.
 The picture was framed in gilt beaded mahogany moulding, nailed to the wall.

Once there were four sturdy ships which piled the Hudson bet7een New York City and Albany, a dis tance of 140 miles. Two of the ves- sels were destroyed by fire in dry dock not long ago. The navy ob- tained an option to buy the other two boats = the Berkshire and the Rensselaer-for $110,000.
 The vessels, built at a cost of $4,O00, 900, probably will be refitted for service as hospital ships or troops ferries. The 414-foot long Berkshire has 4O3 stateroolns.
 Besides carrying passengers. the luxury boats transported heavy cargoes. The Berkshire carried serv- eral hundred tons regularly. But modern competition - trucks and railroads cut heavily into the Night Lines business.
 The night lines former general agent, Joseph Coffee, said the def mite passing of the service will leave romantic memory" to the many honeymooners who took the cruise on summer moonlight nights.
 Back in the '20's the fare was SIS a couple, round-trip. Later the rates were reduced to as little as $1O. There were higher-priced staterooms with modern hotel ac- commodations.
 The Night Line die a heavy bus mess during the Saratoga racing season. Racing enthusiasts would start out from New York City in the evening, arriving at Albany in the morning. The trip took approxi- mately nine hours. Refreshed by the nights sleep, passengers con- tinued trips to the races or to Adj rondack summer resorts.
 The Night Lines disposal of the Berkshire terminated IS years of continuous service by Jerry Daw- son, who first started as a deck hand. He advanced to third mate in charge of the crew when the ves- sel was taken out of service.

 It sounds absurdly simple, but one of the most troublesome things the income tax people have to deal with is illegible names. It stands to req son that you should have your name on your blank, and have it so it can be read. Don't use pencil, lead or indelible. Use pen and inkWr type writer. and PRINT your name and address carefully in block letters at the top of the blank. Of course you sign it in your ordinary handwriting at the bottom.
 And DON'T send money to pay the tax in the envelope in which you mail it in. Send 8 check or a money order properly made out in your own name. But don't send either bills or silver. Why? Because every time the revenue people open a large bag of income tax mail thy scoop up a quart or two of silver out of the bottom of the bag, and they have no way in the world to know which en- velopes it worked its way out of.
 People will do this: they'll hand their money to a friend, and say Get a money order for the amount of my taxes and send it in" The friend does, and the money order arrives at the inter- nal revenue bureau separate from the tax return, and with the friends name on it.
