By far the most popular OF
all, surf fishing continues to
hold first place in the heart OF
salt water fisherman.
1t is hard work to say the
least as the waves batter at the
legs and waist of the angler but
the thrill of hooking a big enc
makes up for the inconvenience
suffered.
Some so miles of coast is open
to the rodeo entrant, some be-

The event has New Rive in
let as the northern bounda1y.
The United States govern
ment has closed Topsail strand,
south of the inlet, to fishermen,
but the balance of the coast is
open to the South Carolina line.
The 22-mile stretch now being
used for testing of secret weap-
ons at one time afforded the
best surf fishing in the area,
but the other inlets are not to
be sold short.
Moving south one finds Top
sail inlet with NiHon's strand ly'
ing between it and Elmore's in
let. Good fishing is to be found
at the mouths of both inlet and
in slough's along the surf. Chan
mel bass and large blues es-
pecially are to be found there,
Best approach is to either
skim up the Inland waterway or
drive to Hampstead and take a
boat.
Take Muddy Slough, HOWE
channel or Old Point channel to
approach the two inlets.
Next strand is Figure Eight
with Rich's inlet on the south.
The same type fishing is afford

then take Green's inlet or North
Channel to the strand.
Shell Island, sitting between
Mason's inlet (north) and
Moore's inlet is approachable
through Mason's channel.
Wrightsville Beach with good

DEEPSEA FISHING
IS FAST BECOMING
POPULAR SPORT

Deepsea fishing - the event
where $4,000 is being given for
one fish-is fast gaining in pop
ularity among local and visiting
anglers with more party craft
being made available to fisher
men this year than ever before.
Although the influx of fishing
is done from craft locked at
Wrightsville Beach and South
port, many parties still dock at
Carolina Beach using either the
Cape Fear river or the Atlantic
Intercoastal Waterway for an
entrance to the ocean.
The above resort has no inlet
at present but negotiations are
now under way with the United
States Corps of Engineers for a
waterway to be cut through the
strand.
AS a whole party boats at
Southport dock in the yacht
basin, but several shrimpers
have readied their crafts for
participation in the 1947 fishing
event.
At Wrightsville Beach, in adj
dition to several private piers,
boats are docked at the mu-
nicipal docks near Banks Chan
mel bridge and at one of the
commercial docks at the At
lantic Intercoastal Waterway
bridge.
In addition to commercial
party boats many privately
owned craft have been readied
for participation in the contest.
Three types of fishing are
available to persons renting
par::y craft:
/. Bottom fishing on the near
by rocks. w.,
2. Trolling close to shore at
the shoals for blues and mack
erel.
3. Gulf Stream fishing where
one may troll in waters of the
stream for sail, marlin, amber
lack and others of the stream
family.

both declared their thoughts OF

positive statement that Humphrey

therefore incompetent evidence.
And your statement that It was

This immensely rich donation
naturally inspired national interest.
The thing that inspired the most
comment, however, was a frank
statement by Mr.. Cullen that self
ishness" inspired him and his wife
to make the gift while living, be-
cause 1--WE wish to see the money
spent during our lifetime so we
may derive great pleasure from
it,"
Why not? That isn't selfishneSs.
Nor is it vanity. Why shouldn't
generous and wealthy men and
women thus frankly enjoy the pleas
ure Of seeing their contributions
support good and effective works
for the benefit Of individuals and
the nation instead Of bequeathinR
such donations in their Wills?
Neither Mr.. Cullen nor the
news. stories mentioned II, but It
seems to US that in making this
gift he strikes u most effective
blow in defense of the American
economic and political system
which enabled him to achieve his
wealth, and thus also strikes 4
blow at Communism, the enemy
Of the American political and
economic system which grants
men personal liberty and eco
nOmic opportunity.
Cullen, who had only three years
Of formal schooling and whose first
job paid him SO a week, knows
the handicap Of inadequate educa-
ton. But he also knows that the
American system gives men full
personal freedom and economic OPP
portunity and enables them to over
come handicaps. And he knows that
thousands need help to do this.
Combat poverty, combat igno-
rance, give every child an equal OPP
preston. Men are not persuaded
by logic to embrace communism.
Men and nations are driven to it
by want and hopelessness.
Combat poverty, combat ignOr-
ance, give every child an equal OPP
portunity to complete his school
ing, provide better medical service
for citizens Of all classes to COM
bat disease and the lack Of care

and you combat communism. You
remedy the conditions upon which
communism feeds and hourishes.
You thus help create the hope and
opportunity which cause men to
reject communism and to respect
and defend the American system.
That is what Hugh Roy Cullen

tons and causes. They are striking
