| Still Learn

Michelangelo was II years old
when he was appointed as chief
architect of St. Peters and COM
missioned to embellish the great
est temple in the world with his
marvellous paintings and sculp-
lures. For nearly 49, years he con-
tinued this work, which has made
his fame as imperishable as is the
church itself.
Toward the end, when his eye
sight failed and he had become
feeble, he had his servants carry
him into the halls and galleries
and chapels where he had labored
for SO many years. Then he would
run his hands over the statues and
carvings s-feeling out with his
dexterous fingers the details his
dim eyes could no longer see :.
And, having done SO, he would
exclaim as his face lighted up
with a smile: 81 still learn"
How many men today would
undertake such a task at 72? And
how many can say at 72, or 90, or
even As: 81 still learn?"

There are conflicting reports about

Larger Mesh Not Feasible.
A larger size mesh isn't feasible
because the fish would gill. We
believe regulations to keep them up

help. Certainly the run next spring
would be larger and of fish of a
salable size. Gill nets could be used
throughout the season and they
are not harmful to small fish.

Yet as the tournament settled
down to tougher competition today,
now that all tirSt-round and some

dark horse.
OF course, he doesn't figure to

Sailfish usually strike bait with

mouth. They seldom strike a feath-
er lure. For that reason we think
the catch of a Ponte Vedra Beach
angler is another for the book.
This angler was not having much
success trolling a feather lure
Keeling in to change, he left the
feather dangling above the water
over the transom while he selected
another. While so engaged he
heard the click of his reel and
glanced up to see his rod skitter-
ing along behind jumping sail
fish. He conceived the idea of
dragging hook and sinker through
the water, in the hope of picking
it up. And, believe it or not. he
did just that-then fought and
boated the fish.
Capt. Goldsborough Successful.
Capt. Bill Goldsborough is fish

pound to Is. caught by dragging
yellow-headed feather lures over
the rock pile.
They are laying deep. and it is
necessary to use or ounces of
trolling sinker to get down to them.
On the large fish this doesn't make
any material difference in their
fight, but on the small fellows it is
handicap. There are, however,
some trick trolling leads on the
market that release the line with
the strike. Get one and any size
