Caie stood helplssy watching them disappear through

She never knew which came first the scream or the

porch stopped with an abrupt thud She closed her
eyes and heard her husband dash through the house.
"Davidr' she heard him shout. David. what on
earth -"
Then came David's voice, filed with wonder.
"He stepped on my roller skates He just flew down the
steps. Like an oil bird"
'Hes knocked himself out. He's not dead, though.
Maybe now you'll learn, David! Maybe now you'll see

Shad Are Making
Annual Debut

Shad are making their annual
appearance in some of the tidal
rivers in Delaware. These fish mi
CRATE upstream each year in order
to spawn in fresh water. Through
out the past week these fish have
been extremely abundant in the
Nanticoke River and Broad Greek.
Fishermen in these areas have
been taking shad in large quanti-
ties with drift gill nets. Primarily
this activity is not a commercial
one in southern Delaware but is
more of family enterprise as shad
are considered a table delicacy.
Sport fishermen can have lot
of fun with the5e ish if a few sim
pie procedures are followed. A fy
rod or spinning gear with stream
ers, bucktails, small spoons or
spinners will usually catch shad,
but the best lure is probably
small hook with a red glass or
plastic bead Immediately in front
of it.
The likely places in which sport
fishermen will catch these fish are
narrowed stream areas in which
there is a good current. It is gem.
orally accepted that these fish feed
sporadically. The fishermen should
play these fish carefully as they
have delicate mouths which tear
very easily. When the fish are on
their way upstream they are in
good condition, and at this time
the females are full of roe.

FISHING

/ AIDES have many erroneous ideas
- concerning mems leisure time
activities, and we suppose the erron-
eous ideas will continue. Psychologists
incline to the belief there is funda-
mental difference between the femi-
nine and masculine approach to many
problems. They say that woman's
nervous system is different from a
mans. Of course, any husband and
father could have told the psycholo-
gist and psychiatrists this; but it
seems more authoritative if the "ist''
boys run complex experiments and
devise complicated charts to Illus
trate what everyone knows before
they start.
Fishing is an apt illustration of
divergent viewpoints. A woman
judges fishing by the results in the
creel. She doesn't understand that
when Spring works along to a
certain height, a man needs to
60 fishing. The fact that fishing
requires fifty dollars worth of
equipment and may result in a
dollars worth of fish is just a
burden that a fisherman must
carry.
