finish Line when the big prizes will be in everybody's mind,
LOTS look arUnd Tor some sport fishing news from other
narts of the nation.
Down Florida way, after a four day period of idle
ness, due to hurricane winds shippers are once again
reeling in the sailfish and marlin in large numbers, but
would you believe it-fishing waters off the coast of
the great Sunshine State are giving up no more sail
fish per fisherman than the Tar Heel waters are?
Except in winter months, of course. It's purely unoffi-
caI but from reports of the catches, it would appear
that the North Carolina coast would produce just as
many of the great sport fish during the summer
months, if more anglers ran 'em down.
Up in New England, Ben Smith of Gloucester went
berserk and caught five tuns in 70 minutes last Wednesday,.
His total catch weighed 1865 pounds, averaging sc pounds
per minute of fishing time.
He boated a 597 FOUNDER in IL minutes, then picked
up a 635 FOUNDER in the next eight minutes. After ten
more minutes he brought home 448 pound tuna, and
then had to wait for % full minutes before clicking
again for a 447 pound brute. The next Is minutes
produced a 51 pound beauty, and then Smith decided
it was time to go, having enough tuna to fill 4,612
1893 cans of the salad meat, by a quick MATHEMATICAL
deduction which could of course be slightly wrong.
To make the whole story more amazing, Smith was re-
ported to have played football for Harvard back in 1880,
which doesn't qualify him as a tuna fisherman.
Capt. Bill Latch. ready to lead the way in the S15,-
900 fishing rodeo here, after spending some 35 years
in other parts of the world angling, said yesterday
there were no mako sharks (Which he said was on a
par with the giant squid as the most terrible fish in
the ocean) in these parts.
Hatch, who will fish from Billy DeCover's Jim-Jam
during the rodeo stressed the need of a decent inlet here
to bring in foreign boats for fishing parties during the
season. He indicated that Wilmington's future as a rich
fishing paradise might hinge on such a small project as
dredging Masonboro Inlet and putting up %jetties to keep
it about Is feet deep.
Well after IS years of fishing, it's good to see Hatch
frying the local waters. We hope he'll be like the fish
he claims migrate past our shores while anglers sleep
ard fish onlv for drum and blues.
We hone Hatch will come back again =. next year.

 Shirley Davis, a junior at Weaver, was one of the special selected four who participated on the program. She was chosen for her extremely high, marks in physiology.
 Shirley is a member of the Inter-High School Choir, Girls League, member of the circula- tion board of the Lookout (school paper), and during her sophomore year, a member of the Biology Club. Her activi- ties include a large interest in St. Monica s Young Peoples program, and on Saturdays may be seen in Sage Allen & Com pany where she is employed.
 Shirley, very active in the social life of the younger group, has two brothers, Frank and Richard, and is the daughter of MT. and Mrs. Frank Davis of B Magnolia Street.
 Weaver gained it's second victory by winning over East Hartford 39-34. Jayvees gave East Hartford Junior team a tight fight but finally lost 26-25.

Now these pushers can be used for all the cold winter days. Readers that is speed for you. Most of the girls down there are wearing black drape on the side skirts and organ-grinder blouse. The blouses I've seen featured in few stores in Hartford. They have pictures of organ-grinder and his mon key and are made of a rayon cotton mixture. They come in colors of pink and white. Imag- inc how charming you will look to the "ball and chain''.
 Sweaters as usual are just as popular there The 'Hubba Hubba'' sweaters are leading the parade. This sweater has a Sailor" yes, a sailor, girls, and a private in the army and between each is cute little number. Hubba, hubba.
 Pegs, konks, and zoot suits in general are most out of date. The fellas are wearing semi pegs and meet" length jackets and my favorite black shoes. For sporting at basketball games and sport dances they wear loafers, plaid socks and suit pants and sleeveless sweat CTS which to me look out-of- this-world.

Council Pushes
ield Lighting

In a special meeting Tuesday
night the Kennewick City Council
discussed wide range of city
problems including airport de-
velopment, street and alley work,
Avenue G. Improvement and gave
first reading to an ordinance.
A call for bids was prepared for
cable for the installation of lights
at Vista Field. All other neces-
sary equipment for the lighting
program had previously been OBJ
tanned from war surplus material
cable has been different to secure
but it is believed that it is now
available.
The council wishes to push the
program to completion as early
as possible. AS days get shorter
it will be necessary to have
lights on the field for the opera
ton of morning and evening
flights of Inland Anyways as well
as to provide lighted field for
night training of pilots. -
The ordinance dealt with
changes in the traffic control
ordinance to comply with state
interpretations of the laws cover
reckless and negligent driving.

Autobiography: arE-aTa
Life Story Of q Kennewick. House

Amons-after all, their family
was already raised. But children
certainly are nice.
In 1908 I settled down to being
a nice, comfortable house, very
respectable and all that. OF
course, / had some faults, but I
certainly was better than some I
could mention.
The high spot of 1909 was An
MES wedding. 1t was wonderful
(Sigh My, but it's nice to re-
member weddings. Everyone was
so happy. It was the ninth Of
June and the Rev. L. N. B. Ander-
son performed the ceremony join
ing Annie Anon and Irwin N.
Mueller. Of course there are al
ways some sad aspects to every
happy occasion if one is the kind
that looks for that sort of thing.
Annie went to live next door, of
course. That wasn't too bad.
She could run in several times
day.
September Is of that same year
brought one of the browning Joys
! of my early life. I had a double
wedding! And, mind you, the
very, first double wedding in
Kennewick! I could have burst in
my pride. 1t was such a lovely
affair, with the Rev. John III.

a great deal of living was done

house must experience that some

In July of 1912, my wish for
