Keystone Club Told
Lack Of Parking Will
Hurt D. T.. Business

II the Districts parking problem
is not solved, decentralization OF
the downtown business district will
follow and tax revenue will be lost
to the city. the Advisory Board OF
the Keystone Automobile Club was
warned last night.
The warning came from P. Y. K.
Howat, chairman OF the District
Motor Vehicle Parking Agency, as
he addressed the boards dinner
meeting at the ShorGham Hotel
THE motorist has to become
pedestrian before he can become q
shopper" Mr. Howat said.
Need Private Action.
c. Melvin Sharpe, chairman of
special committee of the club, joined
Mr.. Howat in discussing a recent
report of the parking agency. The
agency declared that only private
groups could provide adequate park
ing facilities and that it was not
advisable for the municipal govern
ment to 60 into the parking busi-
ness.
The District Commissioners came
in for some criticism. however, for
not making some effort to clarity
the situation.
Mr.. Sharpe said that it is bad
planning for the Board of Trade to
spend thousands of dollars bring
ing conventions and visitors to the
Capital, when there are no ample
parking facilities for them.
In city planning, it is as impor-
tant to have ample parking space
as it is to have sufficiently wide
streets" Mr. Sharpe said.
Can Provide Facilities.
I'VE cannot concur with the
thought that it is impossible to sup
ply all the parking space desired.
Literally 1t is true that free parking
space for all who might wish to use
| 1t cannot be supplied, but it is cer-
tain that off-street parking facili-
ties can be provided, at a price, in
quantity sufficient to accommodate
all who are willing to pay the price"
Mr.. Howat said that if the impos-
sible parking conditions forced oe-
Capitalization of the business area,
Washington will be in an unforLu-
nate position because business prob
ably will move into nearby Virginia
and Maryland. Obvious result Of
this would be the loss of tax reve-
nue. to the District, he said.
There is a great need for space for
short time parkers who support the
downtown business houses, he added.
He recommended these methods
which would relieve the situation:
Express buses from fringe park
ing lots. shuttle buses to the down.
town area, ramp garages to be built
cheaply for short-time parkers and
more expensive ones for all-day
parkers.
Not Isolated Case.
The parking problem in WASH
ington is not an isolated case, he
said. Every big city in the country
Is having the same trouble. he ex-
planned. He blamed the Commits
sioners here for not having made
the necessary surveys.
The board voted to ask the Com
missioners to act promptly on the
suggestion by their Traffic Advisory
Committee and the Department of
Vehicles and Traffic that unneces-
sary stop signs on Washington
| streets be removed.

ter-men, drilled away in the hot
Virginia sunshine. Head Coach R.
N. (Rube) McCray was putting
them through a lengthy S g a !

PEBBLE BEACH, Calf, Sept.
8 -(R-Amateur golf stars from
every section Of the country, sur
vivors Of nationwide qualifying
trials, today tested the rugged ter
rain and various links pitfalls of
the famed Pebble. Beach course
where the U. S. Amateur cham
pionship will open Monday.
The par 36-36-72 course, some
$500 yards long, with several
holes bordering the ocean, is one
Of the toughest anywhere.
It was the scene Of the 1929
National Amateur where Bobby
Jones, greatest of them all, was
knocked out Of competition in the
first round by an unknown young
ster wearing baggy knickers that
appeared too large for MIN. This
darkhorse was Johnny Goodman
from across the railroad tracks in
Omaha, who later in his career
won both the National Amateur
and the U. S. Open titles.
Goodman eliminated Jones in
match play and the bottom virtu-
ally fell out of the tournament.
Harrison Johnston Of Minneapolis
eventually won the championship
but shortly after virtually dropped
from major tournament competi-
ton.
The tournament will be conduct
ed under the British system Of
match play from the start, in
stead Of SO holes Of qualifying.
Among those who have been on
hand for several days grooming
for the battle is the defending
champion, Ted Bishop Of Dedham,
Mass. His efforts to retain the
title will be challenged by such
brilliant shooters as Marvin
(Budd) Ward OF Spokane, two
time National Amateur kingpin;
Smiley Quick of Los Angeles, Skee
Riegel of Glendale, Calf, and
Frank Stranahan Of Toledo, Ohio.

The Cardinals met the Reds in a
night game with Cincinnati.
Cooper had given Poat an early
lift with No. 20 off the upper IA
cade in left field in the second but

fourth when Johnny Jorgensen
singled and Bruce Edwards had
a life on a costly bobble by Bud

Fish Lines
By Jack Cowie

The largest sailfish to be hooked in southeastern North
.,rna waters this season is still swimming around off
ooatbnort but the chances are it will stay clear Of a hook
w. w. a while at least according to Capt. Victor P. Lance,
thinner of the "Moja."
Can't. Lance writes that while trolling with a party
.n Fuquay Springs several days ago he raised two sail
fish.
Let Capt. Lance tell the story:
"The first did not strike. The second one took the bait
Inf threw it on his second jump. In doing so he became
srl hooked behind his head. DR.. o. G. Crumpler fought
t ts fish for one hour and As minutes. Finally got him to
n G9 boat. had my hand within an inch of his bill when
g gm s,cd !&S leader wire broke. All hands about sick,
T Tbs fish was big and heavy and could possibly have been
III - least eight feet. We also raised nice sail the dav
az Ssore but he threw the hook on the first jump"
IN the party in addition to DR.. Crumpler were H. W.
robnson, Prince G. Melton and J. D. johnson.
WHAT A BLUE!
"snag" Allen, local semi-pro pitcher, entered a five
nmnd p ounce blue in the New Hanover Fishing club
yesterday. The fish was &c inches long with a IA inch
rTb and was caught at Topsail. It was the largest of the
snore entered in the club since 1888 according to George
Canady, club secretary.

Woodbridge, N. j., and blocking

Then, the RUDE began to point
out his best candidates for the
various positions, the strongest Of
which are the guards and tackles.
The Indians have seven out
standing guards, among them
Ramsey, the 2oO-pound, 6 : foot,
Maryville, Tenn, star who made
third team All-American honors
last year; Jim Mcdowell, 200
FOUNDER from Charleston, w. Va;
Mike Mikula, of Colver, Pa. and
Bill Safko, of Johnstown, Pa.
Leading the tackle prospects are
Ralph Sazio, of East Orange, N.

son City, Tenn, both 1s5-pound-
ers. Behind them + 215-pound,
6-foot, 4-inch Lou Creekm a n, OF
Woodbridge, N. j., second only to
Ramsey as the fastest lineman on
the squad, and 6-eoot, 3-inch Earl
Masney, 212-pounder from H o p e.
well, Va.
McCray will have the same ends
around who starred last year in
Robert Steckroth, of Hazleton,
Pa, and Lou Hoitsma, of Patter-
son, N. j., along with a hal1-dzen
capable reserve flankmen.
William and Mary has a hand
full of fine, backs. Korczowski, a
bit fragile, perhaps, but as ex-
plosive as they come, mas tse in
side track for the starting tail
back assignment in McCray's
single wing attack. The Hopelawn,

This rare fish, found near Oregon Inlet, has just been
placed on exhibit at the State Museum in Raleigh. It's
called a Lancet, or, to be technical, Alepasaurus ferox.
While the high back fin suggest the sail fish, which
anglers seek near the surface, this ferox normally lives
600 feet or more beneath the surface, where the compress
sion is 260-plus pounds per square inch. This specimen is
nearly six feet long, and it, weighed 80 pounds. It's the
third on record in North Carolina, it's two predecessors
having been found a decade ago near the spot where this
one was found.
Upper picture shows the fish as it was found by Harry
TugweI, o. Manteo, cast up on the breakers near Oregon
Inlet. Lower photo shows the museum reproduction with
photos by Gustaf Sundstrom, curator of exhibits.

Nov. l Crop Report
Shows Little
Prospect Of Change

Prospective production of sew
eral late Montana crops chang
ed little during the month Of
October, accord1no to the Nov.
I crop report of the Bureau of
Agricultural Economics.
The production Of corn, dry
beans, sugar beets and apples
will exceed last years output,
Il was stated. October weather
vas ideal in most areas for the
completion of harvest. Adverse
weather in the Townsend vicin-
ity delayed getting out the su-
gar beets, and about 10 per cent
0 the beets will be left in the
ground there.
Fall seedlings Of winter wheat
and rye showed favorable ger
mination, says the report, and
most fields have good stands.
Early %plantincs are four to six
inches above the ground
throughout most of the winter
wheat belt.
The market for Montana's
apples has been sluggish so far
this season.
The Hardin tribune-herald. [volume] (Hardin, Mont.) 1925-1973, 1947-11-27

Corn production, placed at
3,63O,000 bushels, exceeds the
1916 crop by 100000 bushels
and is well above the ten-year
(l936-45) average. The bean
crop is the second largest since
1890, exceeded only by the war
crop in 1943. Average yield of
beans per acre, 1,400 lbs. this
season, is on a par with last
year, which gives both years
the highest yield on record.
Potato yield on Nov. l was
placed at 100 bushels per acre
and is the same as in 1916 and
% bushels above the ten-vear
average. This years sugar beet
crop for Montana should pro-
duce the largest tonnage since
1910.
Milk and egg production on
Nov. l was above the ten year
average. Open weather the last
month permitted a long graz
ing period for livestock. Pasture
conditions at the first of the
month were 81 per cent of nor
NAL compared with IS per cent
for the same period in 1916.
Largest gold nugget ever
found in Montana was discov-
cred near Anaconda and sold
to W. A. Clark for $1,000.
