OUTDOORS

We're back in town again, but
longing for our camp at Saranac
Lake. N. Y. Washington is a far
cry from those green forests. clear
waters and cool temperatures.
Our trip back, although un-
eventful, was interesting from an
anglers standpoint. We left at
the beginning Of a bowling gale
accompanied by torrential rain
which stayed with us for more
than 200 miles. 1t was a needed
rainfall. Rivers such as the Oswe-
gatchie, Black and others in New
York State. normally roaring
streams, were bare trickles of
water. The Loyalsock and Yellow
Breeches Creeks in Pennsylvania.
both famous trout streams, were
way down. Coming through Mary
land, we noted that Big Hunting
Creek, Fishing Creek and Little
Hunting Greek lacked water about
as direly as we eyer have noted
them; and even the Monocacy,
which as usual was roilly. was
very low.
Maryland's trout season ends
today. Whether the rains OF this
week will make it worthwhile to
take a last fling at her brooks.
browns and rainbows Is a moot
question. The Potomac and all of
its tributaries are high and muddy
as this is written, and it would ap-
pear that angling for black bass in
these waters Is out for this week
end. However we got a good re-
port yesterday Of the more SOUTH
ern of Virginia's trout streams,
which have just been restocked

parks. continues on until Septem-
ber Is.
Angling in nearby salt waters
during the last week has brought
varied reports. a few Of which we
give. One thing is certain-a
scarcity Of hardheads. Very few
are being taken, and many COM
mercial meters of these fish have
put aside their gear for this sea-
son. Spot Of good size. jumbo
perch, quite a few trout and small
rockflsh are being taken by bottom
fishermen all around. Cumming
still is the most productive method
of fishing.

Morning Star Breaks
Record for Sailing
Race 10 Honolulu
by the Associotsd Press

HONOLULU, July 15.-Dick
Rheem's 98-foot schooner Morn
ing Star Of Los Angeles sailed by
Diamond Head last night for a
new unofficial record for the bien-
nial yacht race from San Pedro,
Calf.
1t shattered the old mark by
nearly two days.
Sails taut before q spanking
trade wind. the speedy schooner
crossed the finish line at 8:13
pm. (Honolulu time). It COM
pleted the 2,225 nautical mile run
in 10 days, 10 hours. 13 minutes.
The present record, which
stands until the Morning Stars
time is made official, is IL days, 2
hours, 48 minutes. 1t was set In
1926 by the Invader. Another
yacht, the Mariner, sped from
Santa Barbara to Diamond Head
In IL days. IA hours. 46 minutes
in 1923. but her course was much
shorter than that of the Morning
Star.
The Morning Star still may not
win the race. The other % yachts
which left San Pedro at noon on
July 4 all have time allowances.
Several may beat the Morning
Star on corrected times.
Patolita Has Winning Chance.
Handicaps range from 13 hours,
Is minutes. SO seconds for Char
ley Wiman's sloop Patolita out of
Santa Barbara. to 6 days. 1 hour,
80 minutes. 26 seconds for Alex
McCormick's ketch Sea Witch of
Los Angeles.
Among those with an excellent
chance Of knocking off the Morn
ing Star-the only yacht in the
race without handicap-are:
The Patolita, which crowded
the Morning Star constantly but
lost about 60 miles when it turned
south in quest Of more favorable
winds.
The Flying Cloud Of Jay Quealy,
5r., OF Honolulu, which clung to
third place with a jury-rigged
rudder after losing its regular one
at noon Wednesday in heavy seas.

Others Unheard of for Days.
Some of the others in the race
have not reported their positions
here for days.
The sailing record from Cali
fornia to Hawaii is 8 days, 8 hours,
80 minutes, set in 1882 by the
clipper Flying Cloud on the first
leg of run to China.
The Morning Star was favored
in the 1947 race, but finished
sixth among class A yachts. Its

Cup Regatta Spot

The East's newest and fastest
growing racing classes-48-cubic-
inch hydroplanes and runabouts-
are going to be added to the power
week end of the Presidents Cup
Regatta, September 17-18.
Power Race Chairman Chuck
Gardiner disclosed yesterday that
he has plans to place two heats for
each Of the classes on the Sunday
program.
At this point, the 48s are the
only new classes planned for the
big week end. All the familiar
events will be there. however. from
tiny outboard hydroplanes to the
big Gold Cup craft.
General Chairman Eric Green
leaf observed this week that ut
looks to be one of the best Gold
Cup fields ever, in both numbers
and speeds"
Trophy Chairman Jack Blank,
back from the Gold Cup race at
Detroit where he did some ambas-
sadorial work for the Washington
regatta. commented that Gold
Cup owners and drivers feel
Washington is the real race"
Gardiner also reports that races
here for the 135-cubic-inch hydro
planes will count for the Jafco
Trophy. top national prize for
1855 and that Trimper Trophy
points will be recorded for the
225-cubic- Inch hydros.
One thing is certain at this
point-the 48s will put on good
show. And If turnouts at bay
regattas thus far are any cri-
terion, they will be on hand here
in large numbers.

THE CHURCHMAN'S CREED

The following appeared in The Churchman,
issue of April l, 1949, and is from the pen of
it's editor, Rev. DR.: Guy Emery Shipler:
II believe in America-an America which
stands for the equal rights Of all to life, to lib
erty and to the pursuit of happiness; which
stands for duties as we'll as rights; which put
people first and things second; which rejects
hatred and intolerance, the bulwarks of slav-
cry, and cherished goodwill and understand
ing, the bulwarks of freedom.
Il believe in America-an America fashion
ed from the fibre of many races and people,
where none shall know discrimination and all
shall have respect; an America where the de-
cencies of brotherhood can be Spracticed under
a common Fatherhood; where sacredness of
the individual is not lost under the domination
!of the state, and where the church of God
speaks not with the voice of a dictator but with
the Voice of God.
II believe in America-an America strong
through the high warrants of the Bill of Rights,
the rights Of freedom of speech, freedom of
press, freedom of assembly and freedom of re-
ligion an America which stands not for self
ish isolation but for courageous cooperation
with all men and nations of goodwill; which
dares to dream of Kingdom of God on earth,
when wars shall have ceased throughout the
world and the principles of the Prince of Peace,
of Love and Brotherhood, shall rule in the
hearts of all men everywhere.
Il believe in America-an America which
shall be the consummation of all the Utopian
dreams of all the dreamers of the world-A
Commonwealth Of Goodwill.

STRENGTH NO GUARANTEE

Recalling the war efforts of the United Stat
es and paying tribute to the brave and heroic
dead. Defense Secretary Louis Johnson, refer
ring to the possibility of war, says that the ma
tion must make sure that it must never hap
pen again.
While this is the generally accepted line of
oratory on Memorial Day, the thought repre-
sents something of an impossibility. The tenor
of most remarks is that, by making itself strong,
the United States can guarantee peace
through strength
While we are thoroughly behind the policy
that demands thorough preparation for war,
there is nothing to be gained by deluding our
selves with the idea that such preparation guar
antees peace in the United States.
While it is certainly true that lack of pre-
paredness may invite war, by permitting ag-
gressor nations to fondle the hope of triumph,
the converse of the proposition is not correct.
Armed strength alone has never guaranteed
any nation from the possibility of attack, either
by similarly armed nation or by combina-
ton of lesser armed nations.
The peace Of the world depends upon the
development of just collaboration between the
people of the world, with equality of economic
opportunity for all those who live on the globe
The goal is still afar but, through the efforts
of various international organizations and the
gradually awakening conscience of the world,
it comes closer every year.

MODERN CIVILIZATION

Mr. Winston Churchill, former Prime Min
lister of Great Britain, has received general
recognition as a student of history and writ
er of repute.
Recently speaking to university audience,
the war leader of the British people said that
"despite anxious, critical and even antagoniz-
ing moments modern civilization is "un-
doubtedly higher form of society than ever
prevailed in ancient worlds"
This is a conclusion which many moralsts,
reformers and do-gooders will dispute. In fact,
the stock of trade of some human beings seems
to involve the necessity Of denouncing the pre-
sent generation, with the implication that, for
some strange reason, men and women have
suddenly degraded themselves.
We have no sympathy with such view of
the present generation. 1t is apparent, we think,
from a study of various civilizations, including
habits customs and civilizations, that the
world today is housing a of people, on the
average, which is more intelligent, more heal
thy and more spiritual than any other gener-
alton of the so-called human race.

FIGHT EROSION ON YOUR LAND

For more than ten years. experts of the Soil
Conservation Service of the Department of
Agriculture have been calling attention to the
losses suffered through soil erosion in this coun-
try.
Some ten years ago, DR.. Hugh H. Bennett,
then Chief of the Service, told House Com
mittee that about 100,000,000 acres of crop
land, some of it of the best, had been "com-
pletely Finished as result of soil erosion. He
then estimated the annual direct cost of soil
erosion to farmers alone, not counting damage
to reservoirs, stream channels, irrigation ditch
es, highways and railways, at $400,000,000.
This information has been read time and a.
gain by the farmers of Mcdowell county. It
undoubtedly attracted their attention and some
sporadic efforts have been made, in various
sections of the county, to meet the peril and
arrest the erosion that washes away so much
of our best land.
We take this occasion to call the attention
of Mcdowell county farmers to the necessity
of fighting erosion on their land. Like some
other things that menace mankind, the time
to start the war on erosion is when it begins
and, especially before great damage is done.

WATCH YOUR OWN AFFAIRS

It is good idea for the average citizen to
keep up with national and international af-
fairs, but it is better idea for him to keep up
with his personal affairs.
Among these, one would include business
interests and also the development of person
atty, which is often neglected by individuals.
There may not be much that an individual
can accomplish in solving the great problems
that BATTLE statesmen, but there is no reason
why any person cannot accomplish consider
able in regard to his or her, personal advance
ment. Despite the belief in luck and fate, this
is accomplished by hard work, including the
abundant use of such intelligence as the ind-
vdual possesses.
