Ship news Departmental case
there's any one wondering about
the whereabouts of the much-pub-
licized Strombus, owned by a local
yachtSman, at last reports she was
moored securely In the abandoned
ferry slip at Morgantown, Md. The
craft now is four weeks override
| here.
It's causing no one anxiety, least
Of all the owner, who still doesn't
know why there was so much ado
over the fact the stout English
built yacht was day late In arriv-
ing at Solomons Island the early
part Of last month. 1t will be re-
called that Coast Guard and Navy
planes joined in a search Of Chesa-
peake Bay that week end in an at
tempt to locate her. 1t blew, and
the Strombus spent the night on
the Eastern shore instead Of at Solo,
mons.
For the past two week ends the
owner and friends have been striv-
ing to get to Washington. Each
time they have had to turn back,
twice mooring at Morgantown
where she now has become an i'm
portant marker for Potomac River
navigators.

The spring series of Potomac River
Sailing Association-the eighth an
nual series, if memory hasn't failed
us-will begin May 8 and continue
each Sunday through June 7, making
q total of six races for local fans.
AS last year, boats will compete
over a triangular course in the Po-
touac west of Hams Point.
Oficials early last month agreed
to 90 ahead with plans for the series
after comforting with Coast Guard
people here. The latter said okay,
as long as the boys didn't race after
dark or sail too close to certain i'm
portant bridges.
Final details Of the series are to
be ironed out at social meeting OF
sailors April Is in Capital Yacht
Club. They will include the starting
time Of each race.
There have been some suggestions
that races start at 8 pm. or even
later as there is plenty OF daylight
at this time Of the year. In addition,

ing on Sundays an opportunity to get
away from the office and down to
their boats before the starting gun.
Those membership cards to this
and that boating organization which
usually are stuffed away In billfolds
to be forgotten are taking on i'm
portance since the outbreak Of war.
At Corinthian, for instance, boat
men have been told to take special
care Of their 1912 membership cards.
Because Of the construction Of the
War Department buildings adjacent
to the clubhouse 1t may become nee
essary to close the gates Of the club

one even larger.
Perch 30 large this early in the
season doubtless will bring fisher
men out In great numbers. Most Of
them viii find 1t necessary to fish
from the bank, because the demand
for skifis Il heavier than usual. The
best place to get across the canal Is
at Joe Fletcher's at New Cut and
Canal roads, and, II luck Is with you,
you may obtain boat.
Channel cats have thrown OF
their winter lethargy and are biting
In real fashion. Some really fine
catches have been made and, un-
like the migrant fish, they are avail
able through the summer and fall.
Some anglers will not fish for
catties, but they are judging this
fine fish by those caught in quiet
and often muddy waters. There is
no comparison. In the fast waters
of the Potomac above Washington
the catfish is really a game fish.
They will rise to a bass bug almost
as readily as bass, and on a light
bait casting or f1yrod their fight is
something to remember.
The run Of shad Is well on Its
way up the Chesapeake a bit early
and heavier than last season. It
will be matter Of 10 days-possibly
two weeks-before 1t reaches the
barrier at Conowingo, where there
will be no fishing this season. Those
anglers who have learned Of the fine
sport Of taking shad on q flyrod will
regret this closing, but they must
make the best of 1t for the duration.

The United States Coast Guard
which has actual control Of river
activities (under supervision Of the
commandant of the river naval
command, of course), has no such
ideas, as a few minutes spent with
responsible officials here quickly will
show. That service is doing every
thing possible to make it easy for
yachtsmen to get around this sum-
mer, despite restrictions on night
movement Of vessels and the neces-
sity Of getting movement licenses.
The latter, incidentally, may be
arranged with the captain of the
port, Coast Guard officer. Stop in
at Capital Yacht Club, on Maine
avenue S.W, any time between
am. and 5 pm, Monday through
Saturday, and If you must call for
information, the number Is Execu-

Many Rumors Thot Sport

BY MALCOLM LAMBORNE, Jr.
Boat owners here and throughout
the National step warily this spring,
wondering Il they should throw
winter covers aside as The sport
faces, for che second time, world
at war. Yachting was in its in
fancy in the last war and that
fights effect on the sport was negli-
gible. This time it's a different Sit
uation because 1t Is a bigger war
and because boating finally has come
of age.
Admittedly it Is not going to be
smooth going this summer or for
many summers to come for those
remaining behind and able to sail or
cruise. But If mounting signs, both
locally and at boating centers else
where, portend anything the Amer
lean yachtsman is determined to
carry on.
This desire cannot, however, be
called persistent efforts Of diehards
unaware Of what is going on In the
world today.
The go-ahead signal already has
been given by Army and Navy
spokesman, with the general policy
that "if it doesn't interfere with the
war effort, carry on" taking shape
Others have pointed out that the
sport is an ideal training ground for

Club to Celebrate
18th Anniversary

Columbia Yacht Club Of Port
Washington, N. Y, Is in its 18th
year and plans are being made
to celebrate the anniversary this
summer at its present headquar-
tiers on Manhasset Bay.
Columbia Y. C. was the birth
place of the Gold Cup cham

the historic motor boating
trophy having been staged under
club auspices on the Hudson
River In June, 1904.

OUTDOORS With BILL 4ckt.nA~
Time Just Before Season Really Opens
Puts Average Angler in Restless Mood

This m-between season Is the
toughest Of the year for the angler
because the summer hordes of fish
have started their migration to Our
waters, but haven't arrived.
Occasional mellow days make 1t
hard to take for even the most
apathetic fishermen. Some are US
ing the time to refurbish rods and
tackle. Others find river fishing
satisfying enough until the opening
of the trout season in Maryland
and Pennsylvania on April IS. But
regardless Of the activities Of this
period, your dyed-in-the-wool bay
fisherman will be restless until the
big hardheads are on the way up.
In other years many local fisher
men have gone to the North Caro-
lima coast late in April for the spring
run of channel bass and for blue
fish In May. This season they may
enjoy 1t, as usual, without the ex-
penditure Of tires and gas by way
of the night boat down the bay and
by bus from Norfolk to Manteo.
Sports fishing along the North
Carolina coast Is as yet unrestricted,
except in and adjacent to military
or naval installations. There is no
reason why channel bass fishing
should be curtailed, for 1t is accom-
phshed from beach and inlet.
And, most important, the first Of
these big fish are expected soon,
many days earlier than usual. Pre-
dictions, however, are no more than
personal opinions, and to be be-
lievec only when the flsh actually
have arrived.
North Carolna's streams are to
be considered, too, IN pursuing fish,
ing with the Nation at war, for they
also may be reached by train and
bus.
Last year the Tar Heel Commits
sion released 1859 900 trout and
alta warm-water fish in State
controlled streams and lakes. This
year the procedure calls for fewer
but larger fish, carried through the
winter in rearing pools. and to be
planted as the need arises.
In the Sandhills Recreational
Area the yield per lake-acre was 40
pounds Of game fish. Remarkable
when 1t is considered the natural
yield Is only 8 to 8 pounds.
One report after another Of small
white perch reached us. Then we
heard from Harold Singer, who, ii
seems, found a hole some so yards
north Of the Hen and Chickens

Sports Lid Off;
Tennis Courts Opened

1t was announced this week that
,Greenbelt devotees of tennis may
count on the use of the town fac
ilities for this sport beginning FRI
day, April 10th. Paul B. Gold
faden, assistant director of ath-
letics in Greenbelt, informed the
Cooperator that for the present,
at least, there would be no change
in policy for this or any of the
other apparatus at the disposal of
the community. The service charge
for admission to the tennis courts
will remain at 20 cents before 8
p. m., and 80 cents after 3 p. M,
weekdays, Saturday, Sund days
and holidays. An attendant will
be at the courts after school hours
at which time they will be closed,
players are advised to apply for
the key at the school.
At the same time,, Mr.. Gold
faden appealed to over-enthusi-
astic youngsters to help speed the
softball program along by refrain
ing to dig up the diamond which
lis er6ergoing- a few repairs. II
will be a few weeks at the earliest,
he intimated, before the diamond
will be in shape for use, and that
time will be heightened unless i'm
promptu games are avoided. Mean
while softball tryouts have gotten
underway, the first having been
held over the last weekend.
Asked about the swimming pool.
Mr.. Goldfaden had nothing to re-
port, except that the operation of
this popular feature is sure to
pose many serious problems due
to the swelling number Of new res
idents coming here.
"While it is too early to say
anything as yet" the assistant di-
rector said, "a change Of policy
is indicated in order to give the
maximum benefit to the greatest
number of people. This modifica-
tion of policy is being considered
at the present time"

Block WardenS Meet
To Speed-up Defense

Block wardens, under the super
vision of Defense Director George
Panagoulis, met Monday, April 6,
to streamline Greenbelt's AFRAID
defense.
An automatic raid alarm SER
vice from the sub-control station
IN Branchville was proposed to re-
place the less dependable volunteer
system now in practice. A plan for
a network of five telephones to
help meet afraid emergencies was
also discussed.
At present ,Greenbelt's wardens
are without helmets, whistles, arm
bands and frst-aid equipment.
Neither gas masks nor the two ad-
ditional sirens which are on order
have yet arrived. Mr.. Panagoulis
indicated that before Greenbelt can
have efficient, full time protection,
these and others needs must be
met.

Greenbelt TO Have
First Total BlaCk0ut

Greenbelt will participate in
next Tuesdays blackout, said
Chief Afraid Warden George
Panagoulis, by extinguishing all
lights in the town. Mr.. Panagoulis
urged that residents attempt to
cover their windows, rather than
turn out lights, since normal ac-
tivity must be carried on, and can
best be done so by keeping the in
terror of the home normal.
So far, said Mr.. Panagoulis,
Greenbelt's cooperation has been
100 per cent, and he expressed
the hope that this attitude will
continue. Tuesdays practice air
raid will differ from former ones,
in that it is planned to be a total
blackout, added Mr.. Panagoulis.

Drug Fund Closed;
Outstanding Accounts
Cause Its Failure

Outstanding accounts totaling
approximately $60-some dating
back two years-have bankrupt
the Drug Fund, according to AL
bert Ellerin, pharmacist. Founded
for the purpose of dissolving un-
paid bills left by residents moving
from Greenbelt, the fund gradually
enlarged to cover those debts that
remained outstanding, explained
Mr.. Ellerin, even when the debtor
remained in town. The fund resi-
due has now been exhausted, caus-
ing the practice to be discontin-
ued.
According to Mr.. Ellerin, no
more drugs can be bought on cred
it until at least $25 has been paid
on unpaid balances.
