Large Cash Prizes To Be
Awarded To Person At
tanning Most Clubmen

Directors of the New Hanover
Fishing Club have pushed a drive
for increased memberships by vot-
ing to offer large cash awards to
members obtaining the greatest
number of new clubmen during
1947.
At the same meeting in Gregg's
Hardware company. the NHFC
directors agreed to resume an ear
.lier fight for the establishment of
a United States Coast Guard sta
ton at Wrightsville Beach.
George Canady. secretary, said
the member gaining the largest
number of individual memberships
during the coming year will be
awarded 500 in merchandise, and
the runner-up will get half that
amount. The only stipulation is
that a minimum of 100 member
ships must be obtained.
Other special prizes viii be
awarded to members who entice
over 100 new members into the
ranks of the fast growing fishing
organization.
The directors also added to the
clubs monthly prize lists for Sc
lect catches along the North Caro-
lima coast. A new monthly award
will be made this year for the
best founder, sheepshead, and
black drum snagged by club ang-
lers. The prize list in l947 has been
increased to about 81. 900.

committee this year, in answer to
earlier action by Ken Noble, rodeo
mogul who asked for fishing club

voiced their opinions on the cause
of the situation, and the effect of
it on 1947 party boat fishing, No
action was taken, but the directors
admitted they were somewhat
alarmed over the issues
A bid to extend club fishing zones
northward to New River was made,
but no action will be taken on the
matter until the annual meeting
next year, Canady said.
Present at the meeting were:
