FISHING "FArR" AT
LAKE

A large turnout of fishermen was
at Gartsade Lake Sunday and both
poor and good fishing luck was the
result. Catches of two to six of the
rainbow were not uncommon while
quite a few had but one or none.
A windy day may have limited
catches. According TO Sportsman Club
officials. the best bet seemed to be
a grey or dark fly such as. a black
knat or the old reliable angle worm.
Plans are being worked on In CO.
operation with State College officials,
to lay out a master plan of develop
ment. This plan would locate picnic
grounds. tree planting. parking, shell
ter areas, plus other necessary items.
When the master layout is made.

izations so that groups may have the
chance to develop items of interest
to them.

wanted to help in future develop
ment. Glendive Sportsman club made

Church Indignation
Opposed by Negro

PITTSBURGH, May 7 R.-A
Negro church leader says the
Negro church must retain it's
separate identity and not die
through religious indignation.
Speaking at the African
Methodist Episcopal Zion Con-
ference yesterday, Bishop H. B.
Shaw of Wilmington, N. c.. said
social indignation is logical in
the practice of Christianity, but
he said the Negro must maintain
his individuality as a Christian.
THE church is too essential to
the Negro. particularly in this
age of civil rights, to be lost in
the shuttle of indignation" Bishop
Shaw declared. Developed by
the Negro in slavery. the church
has always given him political
guidance. entertainment. cul-

tural development and self-ex-
preston"
Bishop Shaw said his remarks
expressed the sentiment not
only of the Board of Bishops, but
the entire membership of the
AME Zion Church.
Through his church, the
bishop said, the Negro can con-
tinue to make significant con-
tributions to the American and
Christian ways of life as he is
propelled by his hopes, ambitions
and heritage.
