Forced to Make Frontal Assault.
Mr.. Forrestal, whose broadcast was
carried by all major radio networks,
said the Japs had put into the tiny
volcanic island every kind of de-
fense" and that the islands ter
rain forced the Americans to make
a frontal assault.
THE Japs took full and skillful
advantage of that terrain, he con-
tinued, land of the fact that there
could be no tactical surprise as to
where an enemy would land. We
had to land where we did and it had
to be a frontal assault.
"They had planted mortar, rocket
and gun emplacements and artillery
over that grim and barren island
so that there we're streams of con-
verging fire at the beachhead over
which the marines had to come
scrambling in from the sea-

NOW Inat tne hunting season is
past and our guns and gear have
been cared for properly and stored,
the time has come to give our fish
ing tackle a thorough working over.
Many find much to be done.
Rods should be carefully inspect
ed, windings replaced or secured, a
coat of varniSh applied if needed,
perhaps a guide replaced, ferrules
and reel seat polished and oiled.
If your line has been on the reel
since last season take it all off and
test it for weak spots. Your fly
line should be cleaned up and doped.
Possibly your casting line should
be reversed on the reel, bringing
the unused portion into readiness.
Don't discard your line unless YOU
are positive it is beyond repair.
Many times two or more old lines
can be made into one almost as
good as new by splicing. The blood
or barrel knot is excellent for this
purpose where casting lines are con-
cerned, as it will pass easily through
guides and tip-top. Fly lines should
be spliced, somewhat more difficult
task.
While your line is off the reel take
the latter apart and clean and
grease it. If level winder make
sure the cam and worm are func-
tioning properly. Cams wear out.
but can be replaced easily and still
are available for most makes of
reels.
Leaders need to be overhauled
thoroughly, badly worn ones discard
ed, new tippets tied on those still
usable and some fresh ones tied up.
Undoubtedly your creel will need
scrubbing and a fresh coat of spar
varnish. The harness, If of leather,
should be worked smooth again with
meats foot OIL Well venture, too,
that your leader and fly boxes need
cleaning and that your tackle box
could stand coat of paint both
inside and out.
Examine your stock of files and
streamers. You probably will find
many hook-eyes with bits of gut still
attached where you yanked them
off the leader last season. Cut all
these clear. Boil a kettle of water
and, using pair of tweezers, hold
the whole fly in the live steam
issuing from the spout. 1t is real
pleasure to watch old hackle and
wings fluff up and straighten out to
their former pristine elegance,
ready to fool that willy brown or coy
brooke. Undoubtedly you'll find
your stock short of certain patterns.
Perhaps you can purchase these
now. If you tie your own flies, fill
