NOA recently announced it had
closed its Chicago headquarters for
the duration of the war and for
all purposes practically had dis
banded.
This move of the cupboard group
has met with criticism in some quar-
ters. who maintain that the or
ganization had everything to gain
in remaining in operation through
the war.
With gas at a premium for in
board boats, but plenty available
for outboarders, many believe boat

corners, in turn, might come future
outboard racers, it has been pointed
out.
Meanwhile the NOA virtually is
out of business and unable to keep

Bay Yacht Association Census

What promises to be the most
comprehensive survey of pleasure
craft on Chesapeake Bay and It's
tributaries ever made is under way
by the Chesapeake Bay Yacht
Racing Association.
All power craft 38 feet long and
over and all sailing craft so teet
and over are to be listed, along with
the name of the builder, the power
plant and the name and address
of the owner.
The project is more than just
casual canvass. 1t is expected to
supply the United States Coast
Guard with valuable information on
yachts available for inland patrol
and anti-submarine duty offshore.
CBYRA, ruling body for sailing
racing yachtsmen of this area, has

Big Rock Desert Bay.
The Chesapeake truly is the cradle
of the striped bass schools of the
Atlantic Coast, but just as soon as
the youngsters attain little size
they apparently go to sea, like a
boy seeking adventure. Catches
on the New Jersey and New England
coast prove that, year after year.
This season Is no exception.
South Jersey beaches have pro-
duced a dozen or more exceeding
20 pounds, while around Cuttyhunk

Joined the schools feeding along
the channels around Point Lookout,
there were many caught weighing in
excess of 20 pounds. We know of
several that topped 35, but is is only
in the nets that we have seen really
large bass. Could it be due to the
15-pound maximum limit? Hardly
because there is loophole in that
for anglers. We just do not seem
to be able to keep them here.
Dollar License Assured.
The 81 tourist license contem-
plated in Maryland is not in effect
nor will it be this season. So far
it is only a recommendation of the
commissioners and must be acted
upon by the Legislature this winter
to make it legal. That it will be
on the books for next season there
hardly is any doubt. for it has met
with ready acceptance in all
quarters.
One Marylander, in commenting
upon Its need, says: "We are be-
ginning to wake up here in Mary
land" And that is true. In the
past those fishing for day or two
often did so without license, not
because they could not afford the
$3.50, but for the reason it seemed
unjust to charge the same as for q
full year. Others simply passed UP
a chance to plug for bass or whip q
