OUTDOORS

It often has been asked by noyices
whether or not the elaborate harness
used by big game fishermen ever has
been the cause Of major acci-
dent--or simply, has a big fish ever
pulled the angler overheard. Our
answer heretofore has been mega
tive.
But 1t happened just this week,
on Alligator Reef off Upper Meta
cumbe Key, Florida, with fatal re-
suits, when Capt. G. G. Albright,
fishing with his wife on an after
noon off from his guiding activities,
flrst saw her get heavy strike, then
go head-firSt over the stern.
He jumped after her, released her
from the gear and started her on
the way to the steel structure of the
light which was less than hundred
yards away when, the boat running
out of control, hit and killed him
instantly.
War has brought many improve
mentS in guns and ammunition.
The overall gain in effectiveness is
so great we wonder what effect
these modern weapons, when re-
leased to individuals, will have upon
our annual kill of game.
The latest in a cartridge is a AS
with but single purpose, to get
food for fighting men when they
find it necessary to live eff the land.
1t is stocked 20 to each jungle kit.
This food" cartridge contains ap-
proXimately 120 No 7l2 shot pellets.
Pattern tests by ballishc experts re-
veal that it will put an average of
70 pellets into a circle 80 inches
in diameter at 40 fee. 1t is said to
be the first of its type and caliber
to be developed
1t has the usual brass case. with a
waterproof top held by crimping,
but it is longer than the regular
cartridge. For that reason it must
be fired one snot at a time, as it is
too long to fit into the magazine.

shells were made available to hunt
ers during the 1943 hunting seasons,
but because the manner and means
of distribution was inadequate, there
was not near enough to go around.
In some areas there were few or
none, while other sections enjoyed
an ample supply.
Taking time by the forelock, plans
for the 1914 season are under way
and the hope is expressed that a
quarter of a billion shells will be
made available to hunters in time
for the coming open shooting sea-
sons. That number should be ample
to garner the game crops of the
country.
An honor justly deserved was the
award by the national magazi -
Sports Afield, to Glenn l.. Martin as
the man who in 1943 contributed the
outstanding achievement in the in

GETTING THE BEST OUT OF NEGRO TRADE WEEK
Ry James White

week we set forth some of the activities of the
economic committee This week we shall consider some OF
the reactions to the things that have said in favor of
trading with Negroes. Being in neutral position, SO
far the Negro business the hand and the Negro
public the other is concerned advocate those
things that will be helpful to both
For the next five weeks shall bring forward some
of the problems of Negro business and of the Negro pub
lie What about to is not necessarily plug
to be doing That is trading with Negro business In
carrying the tickets around found people in bust
who did not have the paper in which the ad appeared
We asking that all people in business subscribe for
this paper for the next month Pay it in advance and it
will come cheaper.
We have received number of complaints Negro
business Some just but many not. Some are
bad the Negro who says mo Negro will do right He
is only talking for himself Some say many Negroes in
Negroes can't give the service But worst of all was the
complaint of the man who wrought up because he
could not find lamb chops in any of the White markets
and cussed the Negro stores for not having any.
To the lady that complaining about her merchant
not having slcing machine to slice her cooked meats
get him all the you and he will get tired of
trying to cut with his hands and prorities
lifted he will have that machine You can help him
get the money to buy with Some day may be
the butcher in his market at good salary
We agree with the lady who said that her grocerman
could have swept the floor busted off the canned goods
and swept down the spider webs We disagree with the
who castigated his merchant for selling him stale
him That why you need to put up money to start
bakery of your Like all other Negroes the man in
business is made the last The other takes the posi-
ton that the Negro wants better, let him get up and
get it; we have objection
The Negro business and should give bet
service They do better and
they will do better But the key to improved business
conditions among Negroes depends wholly the Negro
public The Negro in business is just like the rest of
to do with, by giving him all your business and he
like you will give you better service The of Negro
business is locked in the vault of Negro public opinion
and you, the Negro public, holds the key What will
do with it?
