Fishing Fans Outnumber Other Sport
Addicts i'm Bluffton


Addicts in Bluffton
Discussion of sports in Bluffton and
immediate area finds fishing attract
ing as many participants as all the
other sports combined. It is esti-
mated that over half of the Sports
mems clubs 1900 members are fish
ing enthusiasts.
Fishing is the nearest thing to a
year around sport we have and in
Bluffton a person can wet line the
year around, for two of the local
quarries never freeze over.
Bass have been snagged on Christ
mas day in one of the local quarries
and spring fishing is weeks ahead of
other communities because of the
warmed water.
In years to come possibly another
body of water will be added to the
trio located within the corporation.
This might be possible when Bluffton
Stone Company will he finished quar-
rying at the present site.
So Bluffton anglers are fortunate
and the Sportsmen club is building
for the future in their planned recrea-
ton program.
Fishing has been slow the past
week with few catches made worth
Dragging about. John Diller snag-
ged 17A inch pickerel at the Buck
eye. Mrs. Aldine Weiss hooked on
to big bass at the Buckeye but was
unable to land the lunker. Playing
the big fish supplied a great deal of
sport even if she did lose it (the
bass season is out anyway she said).
Bill Rugby Snagged a 111a inch
crappie and five other crappies on
Friday night. Oscar Wenger also
landed about crappies. Both ang-
lers were fishing from the swim float
Jess Manages had good sized string
er of crappies one evening and late
Sunday George Swank and Bob Lew
is each had several perch. George
also snagged a pickerel. No large
catches were made and chilly wealth
er has kept the angler indoors and
the fish down deep in the quarries
Even though bass season is out no

A Great Invention
YACHTING begins with the humble
sailing dinghy, a rowboat with a center
board and mast. Countless varieties
are now on the market for $50 and
up. For sailing or outboarding, for
picnics and swimming, for racing or
merely idling on the water. the dinghy
is one of mans greatest inventions.
It'll give you most of the thrills of
sailing, and with an outboard motor
it'l take you practically anywhere
you could 60 in the ritziest speedboat.
If you go in seriously for the COM
petitive side of yachting, you'll want
a "class boat" so named because
they're built to follow certain specifi-
cations agreed on by enthusiastic own
ers all over the world. The great
majority of class boats are sailers with
open cockpits, ranging in price from
Evening star., 1946-07-28

$50 to $500. You can make out for
less if you build them yourself, buy
them secondhand or share the cost
with friends.
It's the cruising yachts, the sail or
power boats with living quarters, that
run into money. Prices for sturdy
Evening star., 1946-07-28

sailing craft, with auxiliary engine and
sleeping quarters for four to six, begin
around 5000. Motor cruisers run
about a thousand dollars more. But
if this is the kind of boat you want,
don't let the high initial investment
scare you off.

dinghy, but as skipper
you can learn to enjoy
this ''rich mans sport'
A NATIONWIDE poll to discover what
IA Americans want to buy as soon
as they can has turned up this foot
note on the history of our times:
Houses come first on the list; then
cars, refrigerators and airplanes. After
that, Americans want to buy yachts!
1t isn't as screwy as it sounds. High
ways are congested, travel and resort
facilities are expensive and hard to
get. But towns usually are built near
water 1t may surprise you to learn
that seven out of 10 Americans live
close to navigable lakes, rivers or
ocean. And there's still plenty of room
on the water. All you need is a
yacht. Strange as it may seem,
you can probably afford it.
The dime novel myth of yachting as
the extravagant and vaguely sinful dis
traction of the rich dies hard, but it is
passing. Actually, it's as democratic
as baseball and often cheaper than
golfing, skiing or poker.
Yachting can be enjoyed by both
sexes from the ages of nine to 80. 1t

OFFICER ARRIVES
New Captain OF Modoe Is
Struck By Housing
Shortage Here

House-hunting was the first job
of Commander George W. Bower
man, new captain Of the y. 5.
Coast Guard cutter. Modoc, upon
his arrival yesterday in Whining
ton.
Commander BoWerman, now on q
15-day leave, is scheduled to take
over command Of the Modoc with
in a week as 1t. Commander
George Playdon began preparations
for his new post in Alaska.
From what I heard from the
Chamber Of Commerce, there was
not any housing shortage in Will
ington," the new captain told a
Wilmington News reporter, from
his hotel room, "but there certain
ly isn't any surplus Of lodging
space, either"
Arriving in Wilmington from
their st. Louis home, was very
nearly a home coming for Mrs.
Bowerman, who is a native of New
Bern. Before her marriage, she
was Hildred Costom, and familiar
with southe astern North Carolina.
While in St. Louis, Commander
Bowerman was public relations Of
fYcer, and district intelligence Of
ficer. He indicated he would be
in command of the Modoc when
the ship leaves for Norfolk and
repairs.
During the war, Commander
Bowerman was captain of the
transport r. L. Howe, which parti-
cipated in both the European and
Pacific theatres of operations. He
was also a member of the crew
Of the Billy Mitchell, which spear
headed the Mariana island inva-
sion.
Commander Bowerman said he
was glad to be in Wilmington, and
was anxious to get on with his
new post, but declared the housing
situation has him slightly baffled.
There are three children besides
the commander and his wife look
ing for quarters.
