Next day we vent out with

from his cupboard.
Another Bass Caught

The British could come closer
TO their century-old dream OF
winning back the Americas
Cup If enough money could be
raised for two or more l2-meter
boats, which would then engage
lin as hot a competition for the
right to challenge as the four
United States l2s did this past
summer for the honor OF de-
tending the cup.
This, of course, assumes that
the British come UP with a
more orthodox version Of a IL
than David Boyd's creation,
lSceptre, which soon heads
home without the cup.
The British yachts perform
ance of Newport certainly con-
Ifirmed stories that came out OF
England last spring and early
summer to the effect that
Sceptre did not have the stuff
of a champion. Some OF it was
written of as pique Of writer's
annoyed at the secrecy OF
Sceptre's building and early
trials. There was another
theory that the British were
engaging in a little psyche
logical warfare.
I recall the enthusiasm OF
two Of Sceptre's crew when
they visited friends here re-
Gently. One Of them spoke
glowingly of Sceptre's hull form
and said she was well ahead Of
liner time and would blaze the
way for a new concept in IL
meter design.
Actually, she turned out TO

The full-bodied lines up for

Columbia wound up a faster
version of the prewar Vim and

outdesigned for some time to
come-unleSs they start fiddling
with the measurement rule.
There is another thing the
British can do. too, and that
is contract with DIN Stephens,
designer of Vim and Columbia,
to draw up plans for another
challenger. There would be a
little question Of national pride,
however, with a desire to try
other British designers first.
In any event, here is hoping
the British or some other coun-
try challenges soon again.

Swims Channel

Indian lawyer, today swan the

As minutes.
The Indian had tried twice
previously this year to swim
the tricky % miles OF water.
Each time he failed.
He set of on his third at
tempt yesterday from Shakes
peare Beach, Dover, and
touched land on the French
side early today. He is the

AS most experienced fisher
men know, the channel bass is
a member of the drum family,
that large clan which includes
a bigger but less game brother.
the black drum, as well as the
tasty croaker or hardhead and
the spot.
The channel bass or red drum
feeds along the bottom on
crabs, sand fleas, clans or most
anything he can crush in his
powerful Jaws.
83-POunder Set Record
The world record is a 4-foot,
4-inch fish that weighed 50
pounds. 1t was caught August
S, l949, off Cape Charles, Va,
on 50-pound test line. Cape
Charles also holds the record
for black drum, a 94-pounder
caught in the spring of 1857.
With the Eastern Shore
tarpon gone for the season, my
friends al Wachapreague
began to look to channel bass
fishing. Dabney Sandidge, who
books the parties out of the
Wachapreague Hotel docks,
predicted that the fall run
would start with the first full
moon in September.
So we arranged to go fish,
ing last week with George Kill
mon, a member of the family
that owns the hotel. George,
who got one of the tarpon
caught last summer, also is an
enthusiastic channel bass
fisherman.
Channel bass can be caught
from the surf along Cedar
Island, just off Wachapreague,
off adjacent Parramore or any
of the other islands that run
all the way to Cape Charles.
Most common practice, how
ever, is to anchor just of the
breakers and cast into a likely
looking slough or break. In
the summer, night fishing is
preferred, but at this time day
fishing is equally as productive

Ohio Soils Tend
To Low Analysis
In Phosphorus

COLUMBUS -(SpeciaD - The
phosphorus level in Ohio soils gen.
orally is low, says O. L. Musgrave,
Ohio State University Extension
agronomist and director of the uni
versity's soil testing laboratory.
Musgrave cites a recent sum-
mary of more than 81 900 sold tests
indicating a phosphorus deficiency
in most sections of the state. More
than IS percent of the samples in
many counties, according to the
agronomist, tested medium or be-
low in phosphorus. The element is
particularly important in the pro-
duction of small grains and le-
gumes.
The soil testing laboratory this
year is setting new records in
number of samples tested. I'VE
should pass 10000 samples before
the end of the year for an all-time
high" Musgrave explains.
Last March was the big month
for 1857, with 1900 samples check
ed at the soil lab. This compares
with $500 samples for the same
month in 1856. Soil samples for
testing are arriving at the labora-
tory at a rate of from 40 to 100 a
day.

Telephone Aid To
Be Available In
Filing Tax Forms

COLUMBUS (SpeciaD - The
information booklet which accom-
panied the 1857 Federal income
tax Form 1040 recently received
by many taxpayers, is again keyed
to the formal of the return, Dis
trict Director Nataniel LOCKER of
the Internal Revenue Service said
today. The Revenue Service adopt
ed this more convenient presenta-
ton of information concerning the
tax form year ago.
Taxpayers last year found this
new approach to tax information
and instruction a big improvement,
as they did the new and more at
tractive typography, better paper,
and other changes which were
made in the instruction booklet, .
he said. THE Revenue Service has
attempted to simplify instructions
even further. Of course the tax
payer now realizes that no one
booklet could provide him with ef-
fective answers to all the thous-
ands of situations which may re-
late to the returns.
Because we know there will be
additional problems, we are again
offering extensive telephone assist
ance. and office aid where needed
A telephone call is probably the
best bet for the average taxpayer
who finds himself confronted with
a problem he can't resolve from
the booklet. or from one of our
tax guides"

Local Agency Has
New Type Policy
For Compensation

A local insurance agency has
come up with a new automobile
coverage that provides sirnplified
answer to complex and often
controversial problem.
The old problem: Who is entitled
for injuries suffered in an automo-
bile accident?
The new answer: Pay everyone
that's hurt - up to $500 per per-
son regardless of the circum-
stances of the accident or who was
at fault.
This answer, in substance, key
notes brand new concept of auto
insurance now being introduced
locally by Nationwide Mutual In
surance Company with London In
surance Company as the local
agent.
Called "FamiIy Compensation"
it's basically an expansion of what
was commonly known as medical
payment. But it's been broadened
to afford greater protection to the
policyholder and his family =
whether as drivers of any car, pas
sengers in any car, or as pedes-
trians.
But the unique feature-a first"
in the industry is the extension
of these benefits to the public at
large.

Highway Chief Sums Up Road Work
By Department During 1857 Outlay

COLUMBUS tSpeciaD - High
way Chief Charles M. Noble said
the state highway department
achieved major breakthrough in
highway building in 1857" and
should set another record for new
construction in 1858.
Noble stated he was very pleas
ed with 1857 progress, but con-
sidered other achievements more
significant.
He pointed to the state depart
ment's demonstrated ability to
gear up for the task ahead as our
real triumph"
Noble asserted that the depart
ment should place under contract
in 1858 considerably more" than
the 1920 million record in new con-
struction and improvements set in
1857. The 81 figure exceeded the
previous record of 1928 million set
in 1856 by some $67 million.
81 am confident 1858 will be a
bigger year." Noble said, because
of the strides made this year in
bolstering our organization Estate
Department. and adopting an atti-
tude and concept of building high
ways that lead from somewhere to
somewhere, highways that will be
useful for years to come"
Noble observed: 1--WE have ac-
complished the job of successfully
expediting the great interstate
highway program while at the
same time maintaining proper bal
ance with the important work of
improving and maintaining exist
ing highways"
He explained that much depends
upon the efforts, skill and coopera-
ton of all the state engineers, priv
ate engineering agencies, contrac-
tors and virtually every citizen in
this state"
II believe" Ohio's highway chief
said, that our people, both inside
and outside the department, have
grasped the thinking needed to
carry our highway program thr-
ough, and have proved they are
able to move ahead"
Noble went on to give a break
down of 1857 accomplishments:
$290.1 million in new highway
construction and improvements
SGT million more than the previous
record of 1923 million set in 1856
$50 separate contracts signed
with road builders for new con.
struction and improvements, 10(
more than last year.
453 miles of new construction.
129 miles of Ohio's portion of the
national interstate highway sys'
tenn, including 66 miles of the new
Cincinnati-C Conneaut Freeway.
3,072 miles of resurfacing.
6,249 miles of edge-li lining, the
new idea of painting the highwa,
edges as an added safety feature.
1876 miles of unpaved rural state
roads hard-surfaced.
