Travellers Notebook
Transfer of 800 Acres on IVA Lakes Makes
Recreation More Accessible to Tourists u
By Jacques FutreIIe, Jr.
The Stor's IroveI Editor

That f1shermen-tourists pour
into Tennessee by the tens of
thousands is reflected in non
resident fishing licenses. This
influx is attributed largely to the
fishing opportunities offered by
the Tennessee Valley Authority
lakes, whose fame as a recrea-
ton region has spread widely
since prewar days.
Just to give an idea, non-resi-
dent fishing licenses were issued
to fewer than $4,000 persons in
1941. BY last year. this figure
had scared to above 227,000
Meanwhile, resident licenses
jumped from about $1,000 to
399 900.
The sensational increase in
fishing licenses is cited here as a
sort of head-count on tourists
interested in camping, pick
nicking and swimming at the
lakes that were built for more
serious purposes but have be-
come a drawing card in recrea-
tional travel. And perhaps one
annoying phase of visits to the
area has been eliminated by a
recent development that throws
open more lake access points to
the general public.
Avoids Poying Fee
In the early days Of iva, the
disposition was to sell or lease
to private individuals many Of
the choice sites along the lakes.
But IVA recently gave to the
State 226 parcels of lake-front
land. Sizes of the tracts range
up to 10 acres and total about
800. Now, anybody can go to
these public lakefront points to
wet a line, launch a boat and
otherwise enjoy the recreational
advantage. Under private own
ership, admission to such points
was often by payment Of a fee,
and in some cases the public
was shut out by no-trespassing
signs.
Frank Clement, TenneSsee's
Governor, recently received from
the iva a big stack of deeds to
land on nine IVA lakes that
