Port Clinton's Redskins return

of the game, Coach George Sch

Their previous win had been over

The Redskins jumped off to a

Jason Lucas, angling editor Of
Sports Afield magazine, doesn't
think much of anglers who put
their equipment away in the fall
and forget about it until spring.
Now is the time to overhaul your
tackle, to check for wear and make
necessary repairs.
A bamboo rod that has been
used much will need new coat
of varnish each season. A light
coat of varnish will greatly i'm
prove the appearance of a glass
rod; even a steel rod will be the
better for vanishing.
The vanishing job is the same
on all rods. Go over the finish
with 90 steel wool. This rubbing
down should be light, just enough
to dull the old coat and give a
"tooth" for the new. After using
the steel wool, wash the rod with
rag and gasoline Or carbon tet.
Then don't touch any part that's
going to be varnished-even a
slight trace of natural oil from
your fingers can keen the new
coat from sticking well.
For a good job, the room tenn
perature should be at least TO- F.
1t is best to work alone in a closed
room; don't move around any
more than you have to or you'll
stir up dust that you can't see
until it's on the rod, sticking out
like sore thumb.
Use only a rod varnish put out
by a reliable tackle company. Rub
a little of this varnish between
your thumb and forefinger and
wipe it onto the rod. Do this quick
ly, and don't rub it in Or you'll
mess things up. A glance at the
rod against the light will show
if you're missing any spots.
Do not put on a heavy coat.
You might think a heavy coat
would look better, last longer, or
give more protection. Actually, it
does the exact opposite of all
three. The lighter the coat the
better, just so it covers every
where.
Hang the rod, by the ferrules
or guides, in a closet where there
will be no cir stirring BY morning
the varnish should be dry enough
to be safe from dust, but perhaps
it won't be safe to handle for at
least II hours more. A good
elastic rod varnish is slow dry
ing. The fast-drying kind gets
brittle and cracks under the bend
ing rod is subjected to.

Although he ranks high in the
popularity poll among the Amer
lean dog-loving public, the dachs-
hund is looked upon with some
aus m ent by the average
sportsman. And therein Mr.. Aver
age Sportsman may be missing
bet.
Dachshund means "b d g r
hound" and in his native Ger
many the dog was, and is, used
for hunting badgers, sport
which few Of OUR outdoorsmen
know anything about. In this
country he usually serves as a
companion dog and pet, but the
American Kennel Club properly
classes him in the group known
as Sporting Dogs Hounds) And
the worth of the dachshund as a
rabbit and pheasant dog is gradu-
ally but surely becoming recogniz-
ed by American gunners according
to Henry P. Davis, editor of the
sporting dogs department in
Sports Afield magazine.
Field trials for dachshunds are
not new in this country, but they
have not been widely publicized
and it will be surprising to many
to learn that the field trial staged
by the dachshund Club of Ameri-
ca on November %, 1853, was the
26th organized field competition
to be held by that body.
The program consisted Of a sep
arate Open All-Age stakes for dogs
and bitches, run on wild native
cottontail rabbits in New Jersey.
Eleven dogs competed in each
stake, and the three varieties
smooth, long-haired, and wire
haired, were seen in action.
Many dogs were obviously in

New Watershed Act
Helps Local Problems
(continued from first pagol

AcoNLluutu from llf8G U1HoN
zatiDn is the Bear Hole Watershed
in Sussex County.
Local organizations are autho-
riLCd to ask the Secretary Of Agri-
culture for assistance which cannot
be obtained from resources avail
able in the watershed or State.
Organizations eligible to sponsor
project include any State or its
political subdivisions, soil or
water conservation district, a food
prevention or control district, or
any other agency having authority
under State law to carry out,
maintain, and operate works of
improvement.
Snyder says the planning and
operation of the new act goes
briefly as follows:
% A local group, in coOpera-
ton with their Soil Conservation
District, requests assistance in de-
velOping a plan to determine the
physical and economic sOundness
of the proposed project.
(2) This request goes to the
State Soil Conservation Commits
sion, which in turn asks the De-
partment Of Agriculture for "plan-
ming assistance" This request is
then approved by Governor BOggs.
90 After approval, the renuest
for assistance is sent to the State
ConservatiOnist, Mr.. Snyder. The
proposal then goes to the Wash
ingtOn administrator of the Soil
Conservation Service.
(4) Priority for developing a
work plan is then given by the
administrator.
% This work plan is developed
in cooperation with local Organiza-
tiOns, step by step. Local and fed
eral cost sharing arrangements
are worked out in detail as the
work plan is developed
President Eisenhower recently
said the law recognizes for the
first time the great importance Of
upstream watershed protection in
our overall water resource policy.
He added the act provides a broad
program of federal assistance to
local watershed groups. to conserve
water for agricultural uses and
supplement any needed down
stream hOOd-control measures.
