weeks ago. Since | cant shake it,,
I'll unload it on you. It's one of
those things that the more you give
away. the more you have for your
self.
A drab and dreary woman went to
hear noted author and lecturer
After his talk she went to him and
unloaded the story of her dull
existence. There was nothing ever
to look forward to.
For fifteen years, she said I've
worked all day long just peeling po-
tatoes and chopping onions for an
institution"
And where do you do this
chore," inquired the lecturer
On the bottom step in the base
ment,' she replied
"On what do you rest your feet?"
Glazed bricks" She felt more
sorry for herself than ever.
What do you know about glazed
bricks"
Nothing, | suppose
Suppose you find out and write
me about it,"
The woman set out to learn about
glazed bricks She went to the plant
that made them. Then she went to
the library. Its shelves contained
little information but the librarian
offered to order books from the
state library.
After reading and searching she
wrote all she knew ON the subject.
The number Of pages astounded
her.
The lecturer was delighted with
her essay 1t was beautifully writ
ten and contained so much infor-
nation that he published it and sent
her a check for S25OO0
Now he wrote, What's under
the bricks?"
She looked and replied with one
word, Ants"
Again he asked her TO find out
what she could about ants
Not only did she look under the
bricks but she took walks, turned
over stones, kicked aside rotten
logs, poked in ant hills.
And to the library Unlike the
bricks she found volumes on the
subject She learned their family
life how they lived, how they
worked, their team work and man
agement She also found out there
were from 1900 to $500 kinds of
ants.
1t took her days, even months
to assemble her information. Il took
as long to write it. When she
finished She had 800 pages
The lecturer could hardly be-
lieve it was the work of the drab
locking woman who sat on the bot
tim step i'll the basement and peeled
potatoes and chopped onions all
day long.
The story was beautifully writ
ten. She had mastered the subject
She had assembled her material so
that amateurs like himself would
find a world of information and
enjoyment
This time the lecturer published
it, but it made a book The woman
received a check, and later royal
ties.
She turned her dull life into one
of interest and adventure Just by
starting with what she found under
her feet

BEST FISHING OF SEASON
STILL EXPECTED IN DARE

Mays Head.-In spite of a
temporary set back in sportsfish-
ing resulting from Hurricane
Ione's visit earlier this week, the
best angling of the season is still
in the offing for the Dare Coast.
The fishing experts, and that
would be guides, shippers and
anglers who know these waters,
have experienced other late sea-
son disturbances that have moved
out of the Caribbean, and they
know that in the autumn months
it is not unusual for sportsfishing
to be even better after gale winds
than it was before.
Here on the Dare coast one of
the fishing piers was damaged by
the storm but others were not and
for the persons who like to cast
in the surf from the deck of a
fishing pier, such will be possible.
No boats in the fleet of sportsfish-
ing craft were damaged during the
gale and those which sought pro-
tected mooring spots on Monday
were returning to fishing. centers
and were ready to operate by the
middle of the week. Before the
week has passed, there will be
Gulf Stream fishing again unless
the weather displays some more
dirty tricks.
AS the current weeks storm
approached, fishing for blues was
better than it had been since early
August and before Connie and
Diane. Excellent catches had been
made at nearby Oregon Inlet and
in the surf along the Outer Banks
from Kitty Hawk to Hatteras.
Channel bass catches were getting
better each day for surf casters
and some going to 40 pounds had
been caught.
Big game fishermen have failed
to get the breaks this year that
they had gotten during early
September last year but there
were reports of blue marlin, white
marlin and sailfish being raised or
caught on just about every day
the weather and sea was suitable
for going offshore.
During the days Immediately
prior to- lone, fresh water anglers
here at Mays Head were proving
with daily limits of black bass
that the merging of saline water
with fresh had not been totally
destructive to largemouths. So
the sportsfishing is not over for
Dare Coast as result of storm
which did little material damage
along the Dare Coast. The best
fishing of the year can still be
expected during autumn months.
Roads along the Outer Banks
from Hatteras northward to Kitty
Hawk are open to traffic. Ferries
are operating on schedule again,
and there are plenty of accommo-
dations, and most of all, plenty of
good fishing in Dare Coast waters
for the next several weeks. That
is what the experts say, and
previous years have proven that
late September, October and No
vember are really good sports
fishing months.
