Vou'vE BEEN READING and hearing lot about
what might happen to the cost of living. We
all have. Prices probably get more headlines
than any other news on Americas home front.
Well, there's no sense kidding ourselves Rum
away prices could make mess of things-dur-
ing the war and in the peace to follow.
But this danger, like lot of others, Aourishes
in the dark. Throw little light on it, and it
doesn't look half so scary.
: Things we can do
We find, in fact, that there is way to clamp
down on prices before they have chance to get
'out of hand" Here's the way-7 horse-sense
things our Government has suggested we do now
and continue to do
If you'll take look at the next column and
see what sends prices out of control, you'll see
why this program will really do the job.
twill put our extra money into places where
it will help to insure our future comfort, protec-
tion and security. And it reminds us that for our
own good, we must play ball with our Govern
ment's price ceilings and ration rules.

| few jumps. We think 1t was a real
achievement.
Then there was j. P. Norf1eet,
fishing last June in the Lignum
Vitae Key channel just of the Over
seas Highway to Key West, who
caught on bait-casting tackle a ISL
pound tarpon in a two-hour battle.
His line, 18-pound silk which is
comparable to six-thread, means he
averaged more than rs pounds of
fighting fish to the thread of line,
which, when you consider that IS
and l6 pounds are rated pretty fair
fishing in any company, was some
thing in the way Of an achievement.
Then take into consideration his
fish being accepted by the Inter-
national Game Fish Association as
a new world record for six-thread
line and it commences to add up to
a fishing feat.
Norfleet frankly admits that with
out his expert guide, Bert Pindar OF
ISlamorado, Fla, he never would
have landed the tarpon. That
agrees with an opinion we have held
for many years-that in all big
game fishing the guide is responsible
for IS per cent of the success.
Pinder received the captains
prize Of $50 and also Norfeet's $3.50.
In turning his prize over to his
captain, Norfeet leaves no doubt as
to his idea of where belongs the
credit.
