+, sion and that he wanted the
salt water fish conservation left
/ in the hands of elected officials.
| Mr.. Todd of the FiSherman's
| Union, then stated that the
brotherhood of Fishermen would
support the plan to set up Salt
IWater Commission providing
that at least two of the commits
sioners be experienced CONNER
dial Fishermen, that the commits
Aoners have. per diem allow
| ance. and that the commission be
| guided By the findings Of the
Marine Biological Survey in pro-
mitigating their regulations. This
was agreed upon and Attorney
l George A. Speer for the Florida
! Wildlife Federation, and Wendell
| c. Heaton, attorney for the Flori-
da Brotherhood of Fisherman
were instructed to draft the
necessary 1eslSidtiOh.
Mr.. Todd then requested sup
port of the Florida Wildlife Fed
Grafton on three bills to be pre-
sented by the Florida Brother
hood of Fishermen,
l. Resident Commercial Fisher
men shall be licensed at $500 per
year, alien or out of state Com
mercial Fishermen be licensed at
$50, per year.
2. Sport Fishermen shall be
licensed at $l.00 per year and
that reasonable bag limit be
imposed.
8. The &c gasoline tax on gas
used in Fishing Craft shall be
removed.
Mr.. Cooksey agreed that his
organization would support the
measures.
1t is now apparent that the
Florida Brotherhood of Fisher
men and the Florida Wildlife
Federation will stand Solidly to-
gether for the purpose of bring
ing about real conservation for
our salt water resources.
SCALES:
Only two classifications make
up the latest entries in the fish
ing tournament, Four were turn
ed in at the Standard Oil Docks,
while the fifth was an entry
made at the Boulevard.
While we are on the subject of
entries, many are being lost to
the tournament by guests at the
Casa Marina Hotel. AS Sug-
gestion to the committee. we
wonder if it would not be possible
to delegate someone at the hotel
to complete the entries and for
ward hem to the Jaycees, some
nice catches are being made by
visitors staying at the hotel.

Rough weather has set in again
Invariably when President .Tru'
man returns 10 Washington, after
visit in Key West, the weather
builds up as though it had JUS
been waiting for him to leave.
The third quarter of the Islanc
City Fishing Tournament, spon,
sored by the Jaycees. is way be-
low that of last year.,
What the trouble is, we do moi
know. but apparently there has
been some party-fishing from the
Boulevard. during the past. few
weeks. One reason has been that
no members of the Jaycees have
been on hand TO receive entries
from the fishermen in more than
three weeks.
JaYcees Won Award
Last Year
Al the state convention for the
Florida Junior Chamber of Com
mercc. the Key West club won
an award for the l948 Island City
Fishing Tournament. The way
the tournament started this year
gave every indication of their re-
peating performance. The first
and second quarters were ahead
last year in all respects, but the
third quarter has proven to be a
dud. with the fourth and final
quarter so far almost as bad.
Salt Water Fishing Interests
Hold Meeting
Fishing interests in Florida
gathered for an all day, meeting
at St. Petersburg, March 10th to
discuss a unified program on salt
water legislation to be presented
when that body meets this year
az Tallahassee.
Present at the melting was
Representative L. c. Yeomans,
President of the Florida Com
mercial Fisheries Association,
who was spokesman for the dele
CATION of Wholesale Fish Dealers,
Ralph cooksey and George A.
Speer headed the delegation from
the Florida Wildlife Federation
and Arthur II. Todd. and Erwin
Thrasher Of the Florida Brother
hood of Fishermen.
Many differences of opinion
were aired by the various groups,
however there was complete
agreement that our Conservation
Set-up in the salt water fisheries
needs 90 be changed.
About the only actual change
by the Fish Deal
ers Association was that the APP
pointment of the Supervisor of
Conservation be be taken out of
The hands of the Governor and be
made by a majority vote of the
cabinct. They recommended that
all fishing laws be enforced and
that our legislators give all local
and special fishing laws present
ed close attention and conSidera-
ton before passage.
Ralph COokSey asked that the
plan of the Florida
Federation be approved
By all three groups.
Mr.. Todd stated that the Flori-
IA Brotherhood of Fishermen
could not approve the Commits
sion plan unless some changes
were made. Mr. YeomanS flatly
stated he was opposed to the set
ling up of a Salt Water Fish Com

Mr.. Rose need not stop there
he should have looked a little
further-there were Red organi-

project and Solidarity Forever"
was the theme song of the Teach

as radical.
However, in those days, when
doors first opened to colored quail

for Communism and if it >iidn't

doomed to failure later.
Those were the days that tried
mems souls as the writer's have it
and the field was ripe for Com

found root.
However, if there is any feder-

This is exactly what Charles E.

full of the stuff on Jan. 20, 1913.
Recently the case came before

Immediately moved for a direct
verdict, after proving that the ar
resting officers neglected to OBJ
tain a warrant for the arrest Of
Lloyd charges of illegal possession
and purchase OF nafcOI1cS.
Judge Metzger ruledthat the ev-
idence (the trunk full of narcot-
ics) was not admissible because
it was seized at the time Of the
illegal arrest.
However, the judge did permit

year old William Chaplin in a
world of trouble when police ar

scratch pad on which Chaplin was
said to have been writing horse

Police observed Chaplin standing
on a corner talking with people,
accepting money, then making no

When apprehended, police say
that Chaplin had $40 in two-dollar
bets most of which were on a
horse named "Sane JUSTICE.

A PLEA FOR ARAB REFUGEES

The plight of 900 displaced Arabs arouSes the con-
of Mrs Mark F. Etherdge wife of the former y. S.
delegate to the United Nations Palestine Cancellation
Commission who recently returned to the United States
after spending three months in Israel.
Mrs Etherdge says that the displaced Arabs either
fled forced to leave Israel and that they
living in the most squalid and horrible conditions
We have previously commented on the apparent lack
of interest in the plight of the Arabs, contrasting it with
the pleas of humanarans seeking relief for the people
of Europe If a keen dstaSte for human suffering
aroused Americans in connections with the unfortunate
people of Europe wonders why the suffering of the
Arabs does not secure attention
Mrs Etherdge, however, gives an answer when she
calls attention to the small number of Arabs in this
country. Naturally, without political other influence
the suffering Arabs get little publicity and there
self-interest to stir the Sympathy of vote-seeking poll
ticanS.
Mrs Etherdge concludes that the admission of Israel
to the United Nations beoret agreed to take back the
Arab refugees, very unfortunate" She points to
the United Nations resolution which directed the Jews
to take the Arabs back but says that so far the Israel
ties have refused to take back single Arab.

GREAT WISDOM

The other day friend of mine sent me copy OF
quotation saying that he putting copy OF same

thing we'll put and carries such good old fashioned
logic, that thought you might like to have it, too The
message of the whole piece packs genuine Walop. I'll
let you have it, as follows:
There are few great documents, which contain so
much wisdom that they bear endless repeating.
Here is example. place economy among the first
and most important virtues, and public debt as the
greatest of dangers to be feared The preserve indie

petual debt.

debts must be taxed in meat and drink, IN our
necessities and in comforts in laborS and IN our
amusements. If prevent the government from
wasting the abors of the people under the preense Of
caring for them, they will be happy.

economy to avoid burdenng the people and arming the
