OUTDOORS

Prospects for fishing this weekend
are not so bright Heavy rains up
country have raised the Potomac
and tributary streams to almost
flood stage and may put crimp in
angling for shad and white perch
in the lower river, particularly in
the Chain Bridge area.
Heavy rains in the Catoctln
Mountain area of Maryland and
westward made trout streams high
and roilly for the opening day
yesterday. In spite of rather poor
water conditions and inclement
weather, goodly crowd was
present, and quite few trout
caught. Regardless of weather and
water, it always does a trout fisher
mans heart good to wet line on
opening day. One sees old friends of
the stream and renews acquaint-
ances dropped at the end of the pre-
vious season. Talk flows freely, and
spirit of comradeship permeates
the atmosphere. 1t is good time OF
the year. Once experienced, the real
trout angler lets nothing short of a
broken leg keep him away on open
ing day. Try it some time.
Here's a tip for trout addicts who
stick to garden hackle or have a

Miss Scott, who won her Olym-

ever programs the United

done, I am sure, with the best
