Hunting
and
Fishing
BY
GENE
WALTON

Last Sunday night saw the close
Of New York City's FIRST postwar
National sportsmen's show, held In
the exhibition hall Of Madison
Square Garden. The shows next
stop is scheduled ct Louisville, Ken
lucky.
Featured at this exhibition last
week was variety Of new and inn
proved equipment, most Of which
may not be on the market for at
least year. But 1t was nice to see
anyway. We at least know what
to expect II and when our domestic
troubles permit the manufacturing
concerns to produce this equipment.
Are the hunting and fishing sports
really out Of luck7 Your writer re-
serves his answer to this question
for the time being. Here's what
brought up the question.
A recently published article in a
Connecticut newspaper quoted an
inquiring reader and sportsman who
asked why these two fine sports
receive so little publicity when more
money is spent each year on hunt
ing equipment than any other sport,
including golf"
Bearing out this statement he
mentioned a news release by a
Washington correspondent Of the
National Wildlife Federation that
showed that more than so million
dollars were spent for sporting
ammunition, sports firearms, fishing
tackle and shooting and fishing
equipment.
Here is a so million dollar bus
mess that receives the minimum of
news space" wrote this inquiring
sportsman.
He went on to point out that only
81 million dollars were spent on
equipment for nearly every other
sport including baseball, football,
basketball, tobogganS and even toy
guns for children. He tried to prove
by these figures that baseball, bas-
ketball, football and boxing spent
only about one fifth the amount an
nually that is spent for hunting and
fishing equipment.
From here on We quote this same
person: Nearly every one of the
other sports receive hundreds of
pages of copy in the newspapers;
who's going to win the next fight
which baseball player said hello to
his old manager this morning or
what football player is resting at
some resort. The amount of off,
season copy devoted to some forms
Of sport is out Of proportion to the
value OF news space 1t occupies.
When Sportsmen and Sportswom-
en- pay 20 million dollars annually
in license fees just for a privilege of
going afield legally they should get
some information.
I'm so small a state as Connecti-
cut, the annual license fees amount
to little more than a quarter Of a
million dollars. Most of this Is in
tended to propagate and improve
conditions for fish and game.
"A recent survey shows about soc
Of the boys returning from the serv-
ices are interested in hunting or
fishing. How can the newspapers
overlook this sport?"
What do you think? In asking
this question we don't mean to at
tack every newspaper that lacks a
hunting and fishing column. Rather,
We would like to thank the Water
bury Democrat for allowing your
writer to give you one of the few,
If not the only hunting and fishing
column in this state.
In this interest, we only hope that
the news and information furnished
herein is what you want to read. If
not, let us know.

Honors Mrs. WiIli0m
Whisenont At Shower

A very lovely social event of
last week was a surprise shower
honoring Mrs. William Whise-
nant, a recent bride, at which
Miss Marion Slater was hostess
at the home of her parents, Mr..
and Mrs. H. w. Slater, 557 Pine
street.
Miss Slater arranged the de-
tails of the party in such a way
that it came as a complete sur
prise to Mrs. Whisenant who did
not understand that she was
merely paying a social visit.
A color scheme of pink and
white was in evidence in all the
pretty details of the party with
japonicas as the flowers. Festoons
of pink fell from rose-colored
light beneath which was placed
a three-tiered wedding cake in
pink and white.
A number of lovely gifts were
presented to Mrs. Whisenant in
a basket beribboned with pink
and white.
The hostess was assisted by
Mrs. Slater in serving ice cream
and cake after the honoree had
opened and admired her gifts.

 The Nations Minor Baseball Leagues last night accepted few concessions and then voted to re- new their working agreement with the Majors for a five-year period.

WHAT SLOWS PRODUCTION

While deliveries of badly needed cars and trucks are on the increase the automobile industrys efforts to reach full-stride production have encountered host of obstacles.
 Typical of these difficulties is the experience of General Motors The end of the long and costly United Automobile Workers strike did not mean that the company was free to make automobiles and trucks to the limit of capacity. Indeed, as recently as the mide of June there 368 strikes still affecting slIppliers of the various General Motors divisions
 Two hundred and sixty of these strikes were to some extent duplicated, common to all of the divisions of the company, but the net numper ol strikes nevertheless was l04. There have been o9o different GM supplies strikes since the war ended
 Operating a great industrial establishment plagued by lO4 simultaneous strikes, each representing teup of some phase of production. is a task to try the wisdom of Solomon and the patience of Job. The modern car or truck is not thing built in one plant or fabricated by one group of workmen It, to greater extent than any commodity on the market except possibly house represents an assembly Of great many different pieces of component parts And unlike house, automobile or truck cannot De soo part rt-finshed Some of the automobile ndustrys ne" cars and trucks been sent onto the market minus unessental parts such bumpers or hub caps-rathe than delay deliveries still more-but where the pro duction line bogs down on an essential part oi 1he car or truck deliveries stopped entirely
 The situation in that respect, in many an automo- bile factory is reminiscent Of the ar1ul sapotage practiced by the Germans when they were forced to vacate France Time did not allow the demolition or removal of all the rolling stock on the French railroads so the German removed or destroyed the leC connecting rods and pistons of all the locomotives or as many as they had time to-with the result that engines were disabled for time as effectively as if they had been blown up completely
 The miscellaneous strikes which hampered first one and then another segment of American industry were not of course calculated instances of industrial

Smith, like Daniel w. Bell, Undersecretary of the Treasury, before him. has no doubt had many good offers from private business. But the time had come in MT. Smiths experience, with personal problems pressing upon him, when an agreeable occupation and better salary could not De resisted The hemoTrhage began to appear after VJ- Day Many experienced executives who had been willing to serve their country in time of war felt they can no longer do in peacetme at a too-heaVy sacrifice of income. We do not think this means that the Government should try to compete with private industry in the payment of big salaries But it can and should fix salaries for top administrative posts that will not have the effect of driving highly competent men out of the public service.
 Congressman always loath to boost the salaries of other officials higher than their own. But n the the Senate's example, may soon hike congressional salaries by S5000 The for this is clear. Our legislators have had increase in 20 years except in minor additions to expense funds Meanwhile the cost of living has mounted, and what then part time job has become eXactng task often requiring l5 hours of work day more.

 What with strikes and imitation, rising living costs and housing shortages bulls in Wall Street and high inks in Florida 40s begin to resemble the liam ing POS.
 There are signs of similarity the international scene too Now that the is over, it is becoming increasingly difficult to achieve agreement among the nations Some governments seem on the verge of dismissng the United Nations even more brusquey than the United States ignored the League. Despite currently omnous symptoms, there is wide spread prosperity Women paying fancy prices for fancy clothes Maybe the bobbed hair and the low Wsistnes of John Held's fappers are on the way back We are told that gentlemen again-or still prefer blondes. Roadsers- beg pardon, convertbles may again be embellished with campus wisecracks
 So far there have been signs of flagpoe sitters or the milion-dollar fight gates of Jack Dempsey day Nobody has yet threatened Babe Ruths home run record. But crowds bigger than ever will be thronging to the football fields next fall hoping to see another Red Grange.
