Civilian Morale Is To
 Be Boosted; Networkof
 New Groups Is Planned

Specifically, the plan is to get up in every public and private educational institution civilian morale service. Tn elementary and high schools, the primary projects will be a greater emphasis in so- cial studies on present day prob lems; to provide meeting places for adult freedoms forums; to promote attendance at the e forums; to prepare charts, graphs, and other visual aids for discus sions and lectures.
 The libraries, both public and school, will be asked to become "arsenals of facts and information on all matters pertaining to de- mocracy, Relationships, world af- fairs and all phases of national de- fense.
 The colleges and universities are to be allotted defined areas, for which they will be speaker bureaus, and centers of informa- ton and speaker training. These college centers of information and training will be asked to cooper ate closely with speakers and discussion leaders within the area. And to these centers also will fall the task of raising their own

The plan was for South to play
the hand at four spades, which only
very good defense could beat. The
actual contract of three no-trump
should have been beaten rather
badly, but swindle brought it home.
West opened the five of clubs,
Easts queen forcing out South's
king. South then led diamond to
dummys king and East decided not
to win the trick. Dummy continued
with the queen of diamonds and
East played low once more.
But now nine tricks were in
sight. Declarer abandoned the dia-
mondS, much to East'S chagrin.
Spades were attacked, East taking
the ace and returning club. South
took the club ace and ran four
spades and heart in addition to
the two clubs and two diamonds
already won. Was East's face red!"
A rather neat sWindle, but East
really should have seen it coming.
East should have won the first dia-
mond trick and returned a club. He
could tell that South could win only
five diamonds, probably two clubs
and about one heart before surren-
dering the lead again. If South had
three club shoppers or both the ace
and king of hearts, there was prob
ably no way of defeating the con-
tract.

is just about what India raises
each year The worlds popula ton
is about two thousand million, and
Indias rice crop is about two thou
sand million bushels.
China, Japan and Burma also raise
huge crops of rice. Along with
India and other parts of Asia they
produce more than 5000,000,000
bushels a year.
Rice is the greatest crop of the
continent of Asia There are
about 500,OOO,00O more bushels of
rice produced by the world each year
than bushels of wheat. More than
30 per cent of the worlds rice is
grown in Asia.
Among the other grain crops of
Asia are wheat, barley and corn.
A great deal of wheat is raised in
Northern China, and India pro-
duces more than $50, 100000 bushels
a year. India's wheat crop is about
two-flfths as large as that of the
United States.
In Southern Asia the people
raise many kinds of spices and

An interesting food crop of Asia
is spinach This plant is now
grown on every continent, but it
seems first to have been raised
In Asia. Close to thousand years
ago the Moors, who had invaded
Spain, planted spinach there. Since
then it has been raised in various
parts of Europe and the New World,
as well as in Australia.
In some parts of Southern China,
an interesting sight may be seen
when the spinach crop is gathered.
Chinese workers, both men and
women, employ shallow boats to
60 about water covered fields where
the spinach is growing. The plants
grow so thickly together that it is
hard to see the water until after the
gathering is done.

Norfolk spot continue to supply
the best fishing for a great number
Of anglers. In the Potomac, from
Blackstone Island to Point Lookout,
they are to be found on the recog-
nized fishing grounds, but in Chesa-
peake Bay, since they moved of the
bars and hard bottom some weeks
ago, the greater depths of mid
channel is the place to look for
them. And they are on bottom so
muddy an ounce sinker will bury so
deep it requires effort to free it.
So large are most of the spot thou
sands Of anglers prefer this fishing
to the trolling for stripers and trout
that last week heralded the begin
ming of the fall fishing season.
The presence Of few small blue
fish in the schools has raised the
pulse OF some fishermen. 1t soon
drops to normal however, for trips
made especially for them seldom are
productive while those taking pot
luck are apt to bring in a half dozen
or more averaging about a pound.
The best catches so far have been
made by Solomon Islanders fish,
ing on the edge of the steamboat
channel of Cove Point. In addition,
trout are schooled and are being
caught on the bottom, on the sur
face and at all points between with
trolled lures, float lines and with
lead. They are not the small fell
lows of late July and August. but
weigh UP to 8 pounds and occa-
sionally more.
Trout Of Poplar Island.
Herring Bay and Shady Side skip
pers are finding stripers, trout and
small blues schooled together in
midchannel. The average size of
any of the three is about Ia pounds,
although here and there rock up TO
7 pounds are pulled in by lucky
anglers.
Trout fishing on the bottom is
equally good off Poplar Island and
on the Hill" in the mouth of East
ern Bay. with crab or cut spot used
as bats.
The Fish Peddlers, an organization
Of anglers bent on talking of their
activities while lunching everyday,
was the thought of Erl Roman,
Miami editor of an outdoors COL
umn. 1t was so we'll publicized by
the late Tommy Aitken that visitors
to the area counted their trip in
complete If they did not attend at
least one midday gathering.
There are no dues and bylaws
aren't needed. The one rule, and
it never is broken because 1t bars
further attendance, is every one
pays for his own. Millionaires,
business tycoons, charterboat skip
pers and just plain fishermen from
all over the world adhere to this in
flexible custom and meet on a COM
mon footing for their love of angling
is shared equally.

have without shame appropriated
the name OF Fish Peddlers for like
organization that will meet Monday
through Friday at noon at the
Neptune Grill. ANY one with a
desire TO talk fish or fishing is well
come. Like the original Peddlers,
some days will hnd but several in
attendance while on others the
number is likely to prove surprising.
More Bass Fishing Due.
For bass fishermen there is an
other week end of fishing ahead.
Several creeks that were pouring
rolled waters into the Potomac have
cleared enough to be fishable and
the Potomac in the neighborhood of
Edwards Ferry again is clear. At
Whites Ferry it is crystal clear. The
same is true at Great Falls.
Catches have improved since the
wind has shifted TO the east and
southeast. Between plug and bait
fishermen it appears to be even
Stephen, Bait hasn't been obtain
able everywhere above here, so play
safe by getting it in Washington.
One catch reported from the
Monocacy, which last week end was
running with heavy load Of silt,
was of six smallmouths with a total
weight of II pounds. Two of these
fish weighed 81 pounds each. They
were taken in the vicinity Of Detour.
Many anglers are bewailing the
necessity of staying on the Virginia
shore to fish because the jurisdiction
of Maryland extends TO the high
water mark on the Virginia side.
Others are openly fishing from boats
without licenses. Because 1t is a
common boundary anglers with
either license should be allowed to
fish the Potomac.
