The World Today
LET'S GO FISHING
BY James MARROW

WASHINGTON N,-tPl-Let's go
fishing, one day anyway.
In the eyes of fishermen, Ben
Hardesty, 23-year-old redhead
who just won the National Pro-
fessional All-Around Champion
ship in fly and bait casting, has
one of the sweetest jobs in the
world
He works for a company which
makes fishing tackle, and this re-
quires him to fish-he gets in
about 100 days a year-and dem
onstrate tackle. While fishing he
tries out new tackle before it's
put on the market.
Further, if he busts some tackle
or loses a plug, the company ships
him more of the same, a couple
of dozen at a time. His ambition
To keep right on doing what he's
doing.
fAll the other sweet jobs, of
course, are held by other profess
sionals working for other tackle
companies, doing what Hardesty's
doing.)
But Hardesty is an extraordin-
nary fisherman in another way:
He's honest. He admits he some
times fishes all day and comes
home skunked. Just learning that
this can happen to someone else
was a great relief to me- I've
come home fishless SO often I
thought someone was putting gar
lie on my hook.
He's a very relaxed and conf
dent young man. He has fished
in practically every state. and a
movie was made of his catching
a tarpon on an 18-pound test line.
Hardestys home is in Detroit.
He has wife and small daugh-
ter. One of the drawbacks of his
job is that he has to be away
from them a lot He's on the
road most of the II months.
This means, besides the fishing,
giving exhibitions at sport shows,

date those formerly educated in
private schools in the public i'm
stitutions. and a great financial
problem would result. But the
powers which hold the greatest
sway ignore these facts as they
continue to refuse any aid, moral
or financial, because they do not
consider it advantageous to their
cause to foster any religious edu-
cation.
Therefore, the decision of the
Supreme Court to rdle in favor
of this Atheistic idealogy was a
betrayal of American government
tai ideas and tradition.
Eventually the Supreme Court
must recognize its error and adj
NIT that just as the country of
our forefathers was built on God,
so must it be today if our citi-
zens of Tomorrow are men of
the caliber that only a religious
education can provide.
I can think of no better way
to illustrate what was in the
minds of the founders of this ma
ton when they wrote the Consti-
tuition than to quote our first and
greatest President, George Wash
ington
'fOf all the dispositions and ha-
bits which lead to political pros
perity, religion and morality are
indispensable supports. In vain
would that man claim the tribute
of patriotism who should labor to
subvert these great pillars of hu-
man happiness, these firmest
props of the duties of men and
citizens. The mere politician, CO.
ually with the pious man, out to
respect and cherish them. A vol
ume could not trace all their
connections with private and pub
lie felicity. Let it be simply as
ked: Where is the security for
property, for reputation, for life,
if the sense of religious obliga-
ton desert the oaths which are
the instruments investigation in
our courts of justice. Let us with
caution indulge the supposition
that morality can be maintained
without religion. Whatever may
be conceded to the influence of
refined education on minds of
peculiar structure, reason and
experience both forbid us to ex-
pect that national morality can
prevail in exclusion of religious
principle.

Jigger stared blearily, and
Leighton suddenly dissolved right
before him. He found Leighton
again and fixed his stare strongly
on him-His mind was clouding
as though in a few minutes it
must go to sleep.
Did Susan Hunter use the alias
Anne Brown during her relations
with you?"

Leighton said thoughtfully,

huge sums were at stake"

He later discovered that Susan
was alive. On rash Impulse, SUI

before her murder-She was try

Jigger inquired, What was her

She threatened to reappear
publicly as Susan Hunter, de-
nounce him, brink him to book
for his crimes. Her father begged
her to hold off, begged for
chance to make amends, begged
for time to find a way to undo

filtrate every nation, and our own
United States was no exception.
Since Atheism IS the CORNER
stone Of Communism, it may be
said and can be said that Com
munism is an extremely radical
Atheism. Its end is the destruc-
ton of everything pertaining to
God-From basic belief to the
Catholic Church. its greatest, en-
emy.
In order to carry out this end,
the Communist uSea u4Slr power
recently to bring about a conflict
between church and state and to
give it as much unfavorable pub
licity as possible. The Supreme
Court, swayed by Communistic
pressure, ruled in favor of the
anti-reiigious factor. This deci-
sion. although not significant in
itself, proved to have a far reach
ing effect on the everyday lives
of the American public
To sum up the conflict, an
Atheist objected to the use Of
public school buildings for re-
lease-time religious teaching
When the case was brought be-
fore the Supreme Court, the plain
tiff claimed that since the First
Amendment to the Constitution
forbad the government to aid
a religious cause in any way. the
State was guilty of a crime, when
it allowed a public institution to
be so utilized. The Supreme
Court, influenced by that force
which advocates complete Athe-
ism, ruled in favor of the plain
tiff. This decision was a shock to
right thinking people, and GER
tainly at least, raised the hopes
of Communistic supported move
mentS.
This first amendment, which
states Congress shall make no
laws respecting the establishment
of religion, or forbidding the
free exercise thereof has since
been the subject of many a heated
discussion. Was the Supreme
Court, in its decision. voicing the
sentiments and thinking of the
founders Of this nation? We know

on TV. before Boy Scout jambo-
rees, at businessmen's meetings,
before clubs, in schools and col
leges.
Interest in casting has grown
so much, Hardesty says, that it's
become a credit course in phys
ical education at the universities
of Illinois Montana and Florida.
Why? Because a man can fish
long after he's too old for base
ball and football.
Hardesty has been competing in
national casting tournaments
since he was Is. This is the fourth
year in a row that he's won a
professional title.
The difference between a pro-
fessional and an amateur in a
national casting tournment is
this: The monment a caster goes
to work for a tackle company
he's a professional.
Anyway, Hardesty was SO good
that the Shakespeare Tackle
Company hired him. And that
brings up one of the funniest stu
ations in fishing. Except in news
papers it's q sin to mention fish
ing tackle by name.
The fishing editors of the out
door magazines never commit the
sin. They tie themselves in knots
trying to describe rod. reel, line
or lure without ever mentioning
its name. Must be fear of offen-
ding advertisers.
These outdoor magazine fish
ing editors could learn a helpful
lesson from some of the fishing
editors of newspapers who ex-
plain who caught what. where.
when. under what conditions, and
using what. by name.
Since fish have different tastes
in different waters. it's a help to

from simple history, that tht
whole fabric of our freedoms, was
woven from the strong religious
convictions of a few courageous
men. Religion was to be the bas-
ic principle and foundation of
the republic. Throughout history,
it has been recognized as a most
important factor in its develop
ment.
The intentions OF the founders
are apparent both from this his
tory and from the phrasing of the
amendment. There shall be no
law respecting the establishment
of religion. This was written to
prevent the individual States as
well as the government from es-
tablishing State Church. 1t
shall make no laws prohibiting
the free practice of religion
prohibiting the free practice. Up
on consideration, the plot is OBJ
yiouS.
To bring about a dispute be-
tween religion and state is to
the taste Of anti-God elements.
To cause the attention of the
whole nation TO be focused upon
it, was an excellent chance for
subtle common propaganda. To
have the Supreme Court rule in
favor of the anti-religious factor
was a dangerous conquest for
those opposed to the liberties of
a freedom loving people.
AT this time. when education
and good moral character are so
important TO every individual, it
would scarcely seem to be of
benefit to the security of the ma
ton to refuse cooperation to re-
ligion in our educational system.
1t should rather seem a duty of
the state to promote and assist
the different educational institu-
tions established by the individual
religious sects to train the future
citizens in religion and morals.
Furthermore, these various relig-
ious bodies render their country
a double service. Not only do they
support their own schools and
thereby tighten the financial bur-
den of the political unit, but they
also directly contribute to the sup
port of the public schools by
donating to them through taxes.
If ii becomes necessary for
these private communities to ter
inmate their efforts new bur-
den will be thrust upon the State.
It would be obliged to accomo-
