Predictions and Views. -
Manufacturers prices continue
to advance. l don't believe
there will be a national sales
tax If it does come. it will ruin
the Republicans chances for
reelection. The office of Mayor
Of Farnvlle will have competi-
ton for the next election.
There are 100000 women in
the USA who are on employ
mcnt payrollS. We sure could
use some tax relief but not
at the expense OF our national
security and our liberty.
Nov is no time to be curtailing
defense preparations! It's bet
ter to have half a loaf of bread
than none. I've come to the
conclusion that Fairs do little
or nothing for the community
but take away money from
those who need it most.

mornings. The reaSonableness of his request
Last Friday 81 automobiles were parked
on these streets making it impossible for
the street sweeper to clean next to the
curb. In order to do a satisfactory lob all
cars Should be off the streets so that the
sweeper will miss no areas near the curb
Town Manager Johnston has requested
the cooperation of the people living on these
streets to refrain from parking during the
hours of 7:30 to II 700 o'clock on Friday
mornings. The reasonablness Of his request
IS understandable and we are sure he will
receive the cooperation needed 10 keep the
streets IN a more sanitary condition.

If this was not possible, perhaps the bat
hat, which often ha~ many possibilities gen
orally overlooked.
In fact, since men must take off their
hats in church, and whereas many women
leave their hats on in church. we suggest
that the batteries be carried under women's
hats on Sunday mornings. Herein lies a
possible future advantage of being married.
and it might come about that bachelors sit
in church and perspire, while married men
have their cooling coils cooled by a power
unit carried by the little lady At least this
has been suggested and though we think it

ment IN the business section in recent weeks
Citizens are placing trash anG refuse in the
baskets on Main street which have been
provided at convenient locations However
some people continue to throw empty cups
ice cream Wrappers etc. in the cutters
Some merchants continue to sweep the
trash from the sidewalk in front of their
stores into the cutters. Regardless, the pub
lie is more conscious of keeping i'armvile
cleaner, for which everyone who lives here
is appreciative.
The task of keeping a town clean is an
every day effort. Considerable progress
was made in May during the Clean Up
drive. 1t might be good idea to have mid
summer concerted clean up effort Let
every citizen look out into his back yard,
and he may be amazed like we were. This

OF the Chinese ~ who are now enemies Of
the United States. Until this last war, they
were additionally friendly to the United
States. But even considering all these
historical arguments, rearmng Japan is
debatable.
The weight OF evidence seems to be
heavier on the side favoring japanese
rearmament. The cost Of upholdng the
rights Of the free world, n the Far East
which has been imposed on this country
has been a heavl drain On the United
States in recent years. At present we have
no major ally in the Far East and need
the support of major power in that area
of the world if we are to maintain stability
and a balance Of power. The japanese
nation offers the best opportunity AS long
as the japanese Navy is not revived to an
extent to threaten |. S. supremacy on the
seas. the advantages Of a strong Japanese
Army and Air Force will heavily outweigh
the disadvantages and the dangers which
must be faced in amy Japanese rearmamert.

There are such Wild miscon-
ceptlons Of what pickerel are
and where they are found let's
try and clear up the matter In
North America There are but
three species ] The eastern
plckcrol found mainly east OF
the Aueghanes from Canada to
Florida but sometimes caught
around the Gulf states 10 Texas
the record is 2 pounds 2 The
barred plckercl whose range is
the same as the eastern pickerel
but not reported 50 far toward
The southwest there are no
records but it rarely gets over
foot long and one pound
weight 3 the mud pickerel,
found from ontario through
Iowa 10 the Gulf states and
rarely in southern Wisconsin no
records, but it IS somewhat small
er than the barred plckerel
These pickcrel are members Of
the Esociadae or pike family. the
only other North American mem
bers Of which are the pike and
muskcllunge The Walleye is
sometimes called a plckerel or
pike. Ii is neither, but a member
Of the perch family note the
splnes on his back none of the
pike family has splnea.1
The barred and mud plckcrel
are too small to be OF much i'm
portance as sport fish But in
some places the eastern plckerel
viii average at least as large as
bass. Although the plCkerel rarely
breaks water Ike a bass, he viii
put up a good scrap and he is
really faster IN his runs.
Jason Lucas says there is no
need for a large assortment Of
lures to catch plckelel I've
had much the best success
catching plckerel on a fly rod
using a plain chrome OF nickel
spinner roughly the size of
nickel and behind That a plain
hook with a couple Of inches

ner is such a wretched thing to
cast with a fly rod that l gener-
ally troll 1t - morning or eve

edge Of a weed bed, sometimes
farther out.
Tiny fly-rod rlugs are often
god, too Their color doesn't
seem important, but I'm inclined
to favor one that's mainly white,
with prehaps a dash OF bright
red. For one who prefers to
cast with his fly rod-Whlch is
certainly more fun - bass pop
pers often work fine When
they don't seem to want surface

at the height of his career.
Exceptionally tall for his
day, Lincoln'S 6 feet 4 inches
included unusually large
hands and feet. Wide cheek
bones and jaw, between which
his cheeks sagged, gave him
the gaunt appearance so
often caricatured by hostile
cartooniStS. His forehead was
high and sloping, his nose
long and blunt, his eyes small
and gray and his ears long
and protruding. 1t, was this
combination of features that
led his close friend and law
partner, william Henry Hern-
don, to describe him as "odd,
angular, homely =. y But it
was in spirit that Lincoln rose
above his physical bounds, the
same spirit in which we honor
the fallen on Memorial Day.

TUST go DAYS before his
. death in 1865, Abraham
Lincoln allowed Sculptor
Clark Mills to make a plaster
contact mold of his face. Cast
in bronze by Mills, the mask
was willed to the Sculptor'S
sons. In 1886 it was acquired
by John Hay, who in turn
left it to his son Clarence,
through whose courtesy the
mask was recently shown
publicly for the first time.
Strikingly different from
photographs, the mask shows
the Great Emancipator's face
in exact three-dimensional
detail. These portraits of the
mask, taken by Photographer
Wallace Litwin, offer a study
of the way Lincoln appeared
to his contemporaries in the
full maturity of his Sc years
