BIG FISH OFF DARE
Mays Head CObia New Worlds
Record for Women in All
Tackle Class

When Mrs. Hugh Black of
Chillicothe, Ohio, boated her 81
pound cobia at the edge of the
Gulf Stream off Mays Head June
A, she established new worlds
record in the all-tackle class for
women. Her fish weighed %
pounds more than the previous
worlds record for women, a SO
FOUNDER landed by Mrs. D. A. New
stead at West Palm Beach, Fla,
on March 81, 1945. The 97-pounder
and data about its landing is now
being processed by the Interna-
tional Game Fish Association for
authorization and the records, by
Miss Francesca LaMonte, secre-
tary of the association.
Mrs. Blacks cabfa was landed
on 54-pound test nylon line, on a
Pfeuger go reel and Calcutta
boat rod. She was using Pfeuger
Record No. z lure trolled in the
wake of the cruiser Spur in Capt.
Sam Tillett's Gulf Stream feet
here. Her skipper and guide was
Capt. Kalb Daniels. The cobia
measured 661a inches in length
and its girth measurements were
33 inches.
The previous 69-pound world
record, according to the Interna-
tional Game Fish Association, So
inches long and had a girth
measurement of 3O1z inches. 1t
was landed on "a thread line.
The Mays Head cobia was 16
pounds less than the present
worlds all-tackle record to be
landed by a man. This big cobia
weighed 113 pounds, was SO in
ches long and was caught on June
%, 1949, by G. Williams, in Chesa-
peake Bay. (The Williams fish is
not listed as the world record by
latest available reports here from
International Game Fish Associa-
ton. The IGFA all-tackle record

The three of them are raising
about $50 acres of potatoes this
year and expect a Yield of a.
round 100 bags to the acre, Mr..
Latham said.
Their acreage this year is
about the same as during 1851.
However, overall production in
Beaufort County is expected to
be off some because many small
growers either cut their plant
ings or didn't put out any at all.
The sharp increase in price
was a result of shortages through
out the nation. What few pota-
toes were available had found
their way into the black market.
Price Administrator Ellis Ar
nall said one of the reasons why

ceilings were taken off potato
prices was because the Senate
had voted to do so, effective July
l, and it would have been irnpos-
sible to enforce controls while
the issue was being threshed out
in Congress.
OPS issued it potato price con-
troll order Jan. 5 after prices had
just about doubled from levels
of the previous September.
The order had been under con-
slant fire from producer organi-
cations and many members of
Congress from potato growing
states.
Present shortages in many cit
les were blamed on the price
controls.
When digging started this
week it gave additional employ
ment to residents of Beaufort
and Hyde Counties. However,
there were no reports of labor
shortages in the area from Bel
haven to Engelhard.

Gen. Dwight Eisenhower, his Re-

them.

with an educated nose who deter
mines whether it smells good.
No machine ever has endan-
gered the jobs of the distilling
industry's whiskey-sniffers. Whis-
key ages for as long as eight years
in 50-gallon oak barrels which
repose through this period, tier
upon tier, in vast warehouses.
Inevitably, the barrel slaves ex-
pand or contract a bit from time
to time. Every such change means
a tiny leak which, if it continues
long, drains the barrel.
No machine ever devised can
track down these leaks. The job is
done by patrolmen who Chamber
over, around and under the barrels
day and night, their noses alert for
the heady aroma of mellow bour-
bon or rye.
An olipe jar has proved to be
a machine-age stumbling block at
the Brooklyn, N. Y, plant of the
Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Com
pany. One of the simplest, most
routine jobs imaginable - filling
glass jars with olives - is one a
gadget can't master.
1t takes a gentle touch and fly
ing fingers to fill the jars to their
brims with olives packed tight -

but not so tight they bruise.. No
machine can do it.
One Of the most difficult of
all operations for machines is so
easy for human fingers that we can
perform it automatically, without
even thinAmg. What is it? Tying a
knot. At the Akron, Ohio, plant
of the B. F. Goodrich Company,
for instance, an important process
is the coating of long strands of
cord with a rubber solution. The
solution is prepared, the cord is
fed to it and the amount of coating
is determined by machines.
But when the cord breaks, as it
frequently does, the machines are
completely helpless. A worker
has to stand by to tie the ends
together.
KnOt-tying is an even more i'm
portant problem at the Hallmark
Greeting Card Company. Every
year the company turns out huge
numbers of Valentines, each
adorned by a little red ribbon bow.
A machine that could tie bows on
cards would be a gold mine to its
inventor. But no one has been able
to invent one.
Every year the company has to
add dozens of employees to its pay
roll for this jobin thepre-V Valentine
season.

often are puzzled by the sight of
young woman walking brislly

rubbers. galoshes or hip boots.
Strangers tend to shy away from
her with uneasy backward glances.
But her activity is all method and
no madness.
Every day she covers about l3

Recent predictions suggest
that machines soon may supersede
even some minor executives. May
be but there still are hundreds
of jobs for which no machine has
been able successfully to challenge
humans. Take the dollar watch" "
1t still retails for less than two dol

genious systems of automatic
machinery.
At the E. Ingraham Company
plant in Bristol. Conn, long banks
of hundreds of machines chatter
away at sheets of metal and turn
out perfectly formed watch parts.
But at the end of the watch-mak-
ing process what happens? Human
fingers put the parts together into
a watch.
Electric 'seyes" can distin-
guish many thousand more shades
of color than ours and electric
"ears" pick up sounds quite inau-
dible to us. But the makers of such
devices sometimes have trouble
finding uses for them. Human eyes
and ears can accomplish just about
everything that human purposes
encompass.
Tile makers have discovered
that the best way to spot an inn
perfect tile is by the sound it
makes when dropped on a metal
block. In theory, at least, it should
be possible to teach an electric ear
to recognize the ring of a cracked
tile. But it isn't worth the trouble,
and professional tile droppers have
the field all to themselves.

from machines is even less success

ABOUT SOCIAL SECURITY
WEAVER SAYS t..

"Tis the night before Christmas
and all thru the land
There's a state among elders
which surely is grand,
For no longer do workers fear
want in old age,
They retire with security" based
ON their wage"
Ruth Brown of our office came
up with the above and am
quoting it because it so clearly
illustrates a condition that actu-
ally exists. Early this month
there were some 10000 elderly
persons in Dade County and
million in the Nation who recelv-
ed a regular monthly check for
Social Security - Old age and
survivors insurance.
Those persons have reason to
be joyful. They are now reaplng
the benefits for which they have
paid during their working lives.
Some are the workers themselves
some are their aged wives, some
are elderly widows and others are
widows supporting minor child
rem.
OF course, there are some who
will say that they cant live on
their benefits" but they are the
ones who failed to build some
sort of an estate for themselves.
Old Age and survivors insurance
was never intended to do more
than provide a basis on which
you as a result of your own thrift
could build for that day when
you were no longer able to work.
The world does not owe you a
living - 1t is up to you to do
your part all we can do is to
help.
Yes, this is truly a joyful sea-
som! If you could sit beside me
and listen to the many comments
of our aging beneficiaries, you'd
have a keener appreciation Of how
these persons feel. They are not
given to offervescence or lauda-
tory comments but their friendly
attitude speaks volumes. On the
whole, I'm convinced that they
understand and appreciate Old
Age and survivors insurance.
