Fishing Schools
An Innovation
In College Work

FONTANA VILLAGE, N. c. -
An innovation in college extension
work in this state is an intensive
training course to teach people
how to fish.
Two such schools, both co-edu-
cational, have been instigated by
State College at Raleigh, with the
cooperation of both state and Fed
eral agencies. E. w. Ruggles is di-
rector of the Extension Division at
State.
The first, a salt water fishing
school. was begun three years ago
on the coast at Morehead City. the
second. fresh water course start
ed last year at Fontana Dam, with
mountain streams and lakes in the
Great Smokes used for demon
stration and practice.
Both schools have been success
full and will be held again this
year. on the dates of June 1918
and May 2-6. respectively.
This year, we're going to place
emphasis on trout fishing, in the
Fresh Water Sports Fishing Insti-
tute," said Gene StarneS, assist
ant director of the College Exten-
sion Division. There are approx
mately 1000 miles of stocked
streams in North Cardinals Blue
Ridge and Great Smoky Noun
tains. and we are planning to use
/ the best areas near Fontana Dam
! for special trout demonstration. In
addition. we will fish in Fontana
and Cheoah lakes for large and
small-mouth bass, crappie, and al
so pike
Last year. there were 20 experts
on the fishing school faculty. The
enrolment. limited to so students
drew both new and experienced
anglers from seven states n
Washington, ID. c.
The program called for class
room study each morning for sew
eral hours. when the habits and
habitats of fish were explained
when the choice of effective lures
and the various types of tackle
were displayed and studied. Glass
room work created in the fisher
man scientific appreciation of all
factors involved in the pastime OF
fishing, including laws and regu-
lations governing the sport, and
the wise use of this vast, natural
resource.
Glass room work was followed by
practice and demonstration on the
lakes and streams. Certificates
we're awarded students that COM
pleted the course successfully.
Headquarters for the Fresh Wa
ter School are at Fontana Village
Resort, the entire study and prac-
tice course. plus accommodations
meals, and the use of boats and
motors. for a registration fee of
$4,000.

Abolish War
Urges General
Doug Macarthur

1--WE should now proclaim our
readiness to abolish war in con-
cert with the great powers of the
world" declares Douglas Near
thur in the May Readers Digest.
War is no longer a means of
settling international differences,
Macarthur holds. The enormous
potential of destruction to both
sides. because of nuclear weapons
and other "triumphs of scientific
annihilation. makes disaster in
evitable for winner and loser
alike.
If this certainty Of mutual ruin
means that war can now be out
laWed. 1.-The greatest advance in
civilization since the Sermon on
the Mount" may be at hand. Mac
Arthur believes. To abolish war
would not only create new moral
and spiritual values - it would
produce an economic wave of pros
perity that would raise the world S
standard of living beyond any,
thing ever dreamed of by man"
Macarthur says the present ten
sions are being kept alive by two
great illusions: the Soviet be-
lief that the capitalist nations are
preparing to attack. and the free
worlds belief that the Soviets have
the same designs.
Yet the peoples Of the world
whether free or slave. do not want
war and are all in agreement or
| the need to abolish war. the gen.
eral emphasizes. THE leaders are
the laggards. They debate over a
hundred issues that stem from the
/ threat of war, but never in the
chancelleries of the world or the
halls of the United Nations is the
real problem raised -. They in
crease preparedness by alliances
by distributing resources through
out the world. by developing dead
lier weapons and by applying con-
scription in times of peace -. But
never do they dare to state the
bald truth. that the next great ad-
vance in the evolution of civiliz-
alton cannot take place until wal
