New Lake Pays Off

Kentucky Lake, W impound-
ment which has proved bonanza
for anglers, is going to get even
better according to the Kentucky
division of conservation.
The theme of angler enthusiasm
appears to be "Old Izaak never
dreamed it would be this good!"
The lake and dam areas have been
paying off for fishermen on every
thing from trout flies to a bent-pin
hook and worm. But, according to
state conservation officials, tn g
"best is yet to come"
With the seasons hottest days
at hand, lake experts are touting
both local and out-of-state fisher
men to the fast waters below Ken
lucky D m where exceptional
catches of crappie have been re-
corded. In the next few weeks bass
fishing is expected to hit its peak
and Kentucky Lake bass, both
for size and fighting qualities, don't
have to take low when compared
with the biggest battlers to be found
anywhere.
Pointing out that usually during
the hottest weather most lakes yield
poor returns to anglers, Kentucky

" Well, then,' l said, what have

"The woman told me she had

Behind its ruffled folds the man to

Things to Come
IN WASHINGTON
F'o @A q
WALTER |a;{3d;|3Isl'5s Iaa

WHAT is AHEAD in the forsee-
able future for the American
people? This is the question being
asked throughout the length and
breadth of the land, in the home
towns and rural areas, and in our
major urban centers. Insofar as
making an accurate prediction is
concerned there can be no definite
answer.
There is, however, one crystal
clear fact, and that is the American
people must understand they are
in greater peril today than ever be-
fore in the 174-year history of this
nation and that it behooves every
citizen from high to low estate to
realize they must undergo whatever
sacrifice, whatever hardship to
fend off and conquer the imperial
istic Soviet despotism which is COM
mitted to a policy aimed at not only
conquering the free world, but in
capturing mems minds with the
theology of athetistic communism.
Watching the trend of events
here in Washington since the
fateful, history-weighed deci-
sion of President Truman TO
stop Communist aggression in
Korea, there is every reason
to believe that the United
States will be in state of
ever-increasing mobilization of
men and resources for the next
10 years. Present indications
are that the Korean war is
preview of things to come.
1t is fairly obvious to this column
that if the people are not fully
aware of the aWesome dangers
which confront our nation, they are
at least far ahead in their think
ing than their elected representa-
tives in the congress, and in some
instances, seem prepared to accept
more sacrifice and restriction than
even the President himself is
aware.

This photo of anglers at Ken
lucky Lake dam indicates the
popularity of this new impound-
ment with anglers in both Tenn
esSee and Kentucky. Earl Wal
lace, director of the Kentucky
division of game and fish has
declared Kentucky Lake will re-
main the best fishing spot in the
state for years to come.
experts assure anglers that catches
in Kentucky Lake should not d.
finnish. Game fish, in the hot, sui
try months, seek to avoid hot sur
face water by lying in the deepest
holes, thereby limiting the effective
ness of bait fishing and use of arti-
fetal lures.
Kentucky Lake, however, offers
an alternative to that situation.
This is the water Immediately be-
low the dam. Here, the rushing
water is kept sufficiently aerated
to contain enough oxygen to make
the area highly attractive to fish
of all species.
Commenting on this, Earl Wal
lace, director of the state division
of game and fish says, Kentucky
Lake will remain the best fishing
spot in the state. In seeking cool
waters, large schools of crappie
and bass move into the area around
the dam and Immediately below it

unusual to catch the limit of 30 crap.

The seventh promise of a good

of free public education by doing
everything I can to improve the

Many "isms" and ideologies are

Catfish Dope

While you may catch few mud
cats by still-fishing with bamboo
pole or stiff rod, stoutline, big
hooks, and dough balls or pieces Of
rancid meat, the best bet is to set
up an all-night trotline. This con-
sists of strong, twisted cotton or
Cuttyhunk of the length desired.
Usually this is tied across a stream
or pond from tree to tree, with the
center portion hanging fairly close
to t h e bottom. Hooks on short
line are attached to main line.

Standby Controls Urged

Then what is the record? On
January 4, 1949, Mr.. Truman rec
commended to the congress to set
up system of standby controls to
be used in an emergency, "to i'm
pose price ceilings on scarce COM
modities which basically effect es-
sential production or the cost of
living"
A few days later in his eco
nomic message he spelled out
these proposals and on Feb. Is,
1949, he sent congress the draft
of sterilization bill which ad-
vocated these standby controls.
On March 3, 1919, he told news
men at a press conference he
needed these powers for any
sudden development.
On January 7, 1850, he again
sounded a warning in his economic
legislators to give him power to
regulate consumer credit, to regu-
late speculation in commodities on
the commodity exchanges and to
give the federal reserve board au-
thority over banking reserves. That

generation, with minds and hearts
reinforced with such knowledge,
is more powerful than an army.
Our public school, our private
schools and our schools conducted
under religious auspices all must
provide the climate and the soil
for the roots and the fruits of free
dom.
So, good citizen, keep our system
of education strong.
THE SCHOOLS are yours. You
pay for them. There is much that
you can do to improve them, and
the need is urgent.
Teachers enjoy-or ought to en-
joy-freedom from social and po-
litical pressures; freedom to seek
the eternal truths and to present
these truths in way that will slim
ulate young minds to look for truth
and be able to recognize it when
they find it.
Teachers should be proud of their
profession. They deserve the friend
illness, sociability and respect ac-
corded to doctors, lawyers and
members of other professions.
Teachers should be able to live
their private lives as any other
self-respecting citizen lives his
neither playing Mrs. Grundy" to
the community nor being dictated
to by the social arbiters of the
community, whoever they may be.
Help to make your schools a force
for national unity by protecting our
children from bigotry and preju-
dice.
1t has been said, america fears
no enemy but ignorance"
The generation which did not
fight the war is trying to understand
what happened, why it happened,
and what can be done to straight
en- out the world.
Help it to find out through even
better, stronger, fire er schools
which bring to it the distilled truth
wrested from the experience of
all recorded time; which encourage
the search for truth; and which
foster tn e undeveloped talents
which are Americas greatest source
of wealth.
MARK TWAIN, referring to for
eign dispatch, once said "the
vast expense of maintaining the
army has made it necessary to re-
trench, and so the government had
decided that to support the army it
would be necessary to withdraw the
appropriation from the public
schools
1T is curious to reflect how his
tory repeats itself the world over.
Why, I remember the same thing
was done when I was a boy on the
Mississippi river. There was a prop
osition in township there to dis
continue public schools because
they were too expensive. An old
farmer spoke up and said if they
stopped the schools they would not
save anything, because every time
school was closed a Jail had to be
built.

Truman Ready for Crisis

Unfortunately, this is an election

which threatens the moves on Cap
itol Hill to back up the President
have been tinged and weighed with
political consideration. AS a mat
ter of fact, although the President
himself has declared politics out
the window, some of his satellites
still persist in looking at the situa-
tion through politically tinted
glasses. This fact, however, doesn't
justify some of the news stories
which are going out of Washington
through some mediums to the eff
feet that all here is confusion and
muddled thinking, or that the Presi-
dent is not giving his associates a
clear sense Of direction, or. there
is scramble for power or bicker-
ing among "small-bore bureaucrats"
as one writer called it.
This writer believes that the rec
ord shows that President Truman
anticipated what might happen
long ago and that he was primed
and ready when he made his deci-
sion even over the advice of his
military leaders and his political
advisers. He made it on a moral
principle to which this nation was
committed. That he did not have
the tools at hand is no fault of Mr..
Truman, and had he waited even

been no beach-head at Pusan on
