Pleasing American vacation
holidayers is one thing foreign
countries, seeking a large share OF
the United States tourist dollar,
try to do. It is not easily accom-
plished.
Among the hardest to please Is
that group composed of travellers
who fight to "Americanize" a
country. Forcing these changes
not only causes heavy expendi-
lures on hotel men and restaurant
teurs but. if carried too far, dilutes
sthe native atmosphere to such an
extent that others note with re-
gret a loss of charm.
To go to France, for instance,

There is quite stir being raised
among not only Virginia anglers
but those here who pay the nom
resident fee for the privilege of
fishing Virginia's fine trout
streams. 1t seems that the Shen-
andoah National Park authorities
informed Virginia's Commission
of Game and Inland Fisheries
that they did not want the Com
mission to put any 7-inch trout
in the park streams this year
that they would stock these
streams themselves.
AS we understand it, both the
State and the Federal Govern
ment have had a joint stocking
program. Residents Of Rappahan-
mock. Madison and Greene Coun-
ties In Virginia as well as many
D. C. residents wish the Virginia
Commission to continue stocking
these streams. claiming that il
it does not, there just won't be
much trout fishing. especially in
the latter part of the season
when real dry fly fishing comes
into its own.
The State heretofore has
stocked twice each year once
Just before opening day and again
around the first of June. Well be
interested in knowing just what
will come Of this, or the reasons

Virginia Week End
Prize Contribution
By Doris Rocker, II
lanslsy Junior High School


One Saturday morning we left
Washington for a Virginia weeE
end. We planned to ride along
Skyline drive and then spend the
night in Charlottesville, and the
next morning drive to Monticello
which is what we did.
At 12 o'clock Saturday we
reached Front Royal. where we ate
lunch. After that we began oul
trip along Skyline drive. It was
very beautiful all along this route
At first I could not believe we
were up so high. We rode all along
the drive, which was los miles in
length.
/ After we came down off of the
drive we went to Charlottesville
where We spent the night.
The next morning we drove over
to Monticello, which is near Char
lottesyille. Monticello, the home
Of Thomas Jefferson, is on top of a
very small mountain. When we
got there we looked at the view
for a few minutes and then we
went into the house. 1t was very
nice in there. but there was one
funny thing about it. The beds
were built in the walls. After that
we walked all around the gardens
which were very pretty. We had
a grand week end.

Delay on Florida Results
Uroed to Hit Bookmokino

TALLAHASSEE, Fla, Jan. 2e
P.-Attorney General Richard
Erwin today asked the State Rae
ing Commission to order a half
hour delay in transmission of race
race results from Florida tracks In
an effort to halt bookmaking.
"I feel that we may determine,
during a trial period under such
an order, whether race results are
being pilfered from legitimate
sources for the benefit of illegal
bookmakers, by wire tapping OF
other means"
Erwin said investigation "has
disclosed that wire tappers have
made use of the racing wires
which were officially closed in De-
cember and that national racing
wire service Is still obtaining and
transmitting almost instantane-
ously race results back into Flor
ida where the information proves
useful to illegal bookmakers."
He identified the wire service
as Continental Press, and added,
1--WE don't know where they get
their information but they do get
It some way"
"The mysterious source of this
Information has not been found"
he added. ut is imperative that it
be disclosed and If there is leak
from legitimate service that it be
plugged"
LEO Edwards, chairman Of the
State Racing Commission. said at
Miami that he would not receive
the attorney generals order until
Monday. He said he didn't believe
there would be an arbitrary shut
down, but a spot check would be
made of a few races.

The Talbot County (Md) Chap
ter of the Izaak Walton League
has unanimously requested the
U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service to
try to work out a better duck
hunting season for Marylandels
This past year, due to continued
mild weather, most of the migra-
tory ducks-the good ducks-did
not arrive below the Sassafras
River until after the season was
over. They suggest that Mary
land have two seasons, one for
the area north of the Sassafras
and another for the area south OF
that river. Another solution sug-
gested is that longer season be
granted, with shooting permitted
only three days each week.
Walter Weber, noted artist who
designed the 1944-45 duck stamp
of three white fronted geese, has
won the contest for the 1950-51
duck stamp with his drawing OF
two trumpeter swans, thus be-
coming the first person to win this
competition a second time.
A total of 88 designs were SUBJ
mitted by IS contestants, among
whom were a number of women
twenty-five States, the District OF
Columbia and Canada were repre-
sented among the artists.
The winning artist receives nc
direct compensation with his
award, but is free to capitalize or
his design by selling autographed
prints, ETC., subject to the terms
of contract he signs with the
Service.

His wife refuses to let him make
it any bigger because it's begin

of cotton wrapping string. began
