Fishermen always have been noted
for getting around and particularly
to the far-of places. Take Harold
Schmitt for instance, the Miami
charter boat shipper and hero of
Phil Wylie's stories in the Saturday
Evening Post, who is hitting the
distant spots in the Army Trans
port Services.
He finds little time for the old
game, for he is not so lucky as Jack
Bell, who is 1000 miles up the
Amazon River with the Rubber De-
velopment Corp. and is getting good
shooting. Pictures of tapirs, 12-foot
gators and man-eating pirhanas
attest to that.
Doug Osborne, skipper on several
of the Lerner expeditions to Chile,
is running one of Uncle Sans Coast
Guard patrol boats while two Ocean
City marlin shippers, Vic Lance and
Lev Raymond, are getting around
too. Vic is doing stretch of shore
duty and Lev is skipper of one of the
big babies offshore.
Like most other States Maryland
has been experiencing hatchery

are being taken to circumvent the
shortage of manpower and the lack

not with our minds, and when
the constant repetition Of
divisive charges, of sluring re-
marks, Of accusations, Of half
truths will find us believing i
spite of ourselves. If that hap
pens to enough Of US at the
same time-it will mean a
dangerous break in the line Of
public morale.
There is only one sure way
in which we can successfully
fight this danger-that is by
administering the truth con-
sistently and constantly. We
must go directly to the point.
We must deal with each case
as it arises, judging it on its
individual merits without re-
gard to class, creed or color.
We must face each charge as
it is made and learn what are
the facts. This is the only way
in which we can squelch fear
because we will be discarding
half lies in favor of the truth,
We must guard our speech.
Let every thought Of diyisiye-
ness end with US. Let US have
no defeatism, even in talk at
home. We must be our own
"Rumor Clinic" searching out
the why" Of every statement,
We as a nation cannot gov
ern ourselves by deceitS and
frauds-we must know the
truth-and if we know We are
hearing the whole truth we
can take it-because we can
believe what we are told-not
fear something worse. Only the
truth can make men free from
fear.
