DEAR MISTER EDITOR:

There's a old saying that when
ever two Methodists git together
one of them always passes the hat.
Least wise that's what / always
tell my old lady. She was Meth
odist when we was married and
amt never been able to git her
changed over to the Baptist faith.
One thing you can say fer them
Methodists though, they're as stub
born as mule in their crusade
again sin. My old lady starts with
the morning paper and she don't
knock off till she starts snoring
that night.
The first thing she does is to
look at all the pages to see if
there's any pictures of wimmen
dressed up in nothing. 1t amt
often she's disappointed, and that
sets her up fer the day with a
store of conversation. cts a ter
rible sin fer wimmen to git ex-
posed in public like that" she'll
start off. Where she'll end up Is
anybody's guess.
Of course, / amt never said it
to the old lady, but I figger that
the way woman looks on such
things depends on what kind of
chassis she herself has got. Them
that's built fer comfort in place
of speed amt liable to ever think
much Of such pictures. The old
lady is somewhat on the comfort
angle.
Now, the first thing I look fer
in the morning paper is to see
what them politicians in Washing
ton has did since l stopped the
hogs last night. Most Of the time
they've took up where they left
off the day before-talking They

COMMERCIAL FISHERMEN
FIND 245 POUND TUNA
ASHORE ON HATTERAS

Commercial fishermen hauling
the surf for striped bass on Mon
day discovered the carcass of a
still fresh and bleeding 245 pound
tuna that had drifted ashore be-
cause of injuries that may have
been inflicted when it was struck
by a boat, or driven ashore by
shark or some other predatory
form of marine life.
The fishing crew, Oliver O'Neal,
Roy Gray, Dennis Robinson, Eph
O'Neal and Desmond, Hallas and
William Foster retrieved the big
fish and hauled it in to Hatteras
village. y
Appearance Of the big tuna in
late January at Hatteras may be
the answer to questions that many
big game anglers have asked in
recent years in the Hatteras area.
Because giant tuna are taken with
rod and reel in Nova Scotia and
New England waters during the
late summer and early autumn,
and in the Bahamas and West In
dies during the spring, and be-
cause they are known to be migra-
tory fish, the unanswered ques-
ton was, "When do they pass
Cape Hatteras?"
Capt. Edgar Styron at Hatteras
reported raising one of the large
tuna to bait and sighting. another
near the surface near Diamond
lightship late in March last year,
but no more big tuna were report
ed during the spring or summer.
Scores of small school tuna in the
10 to 20 pound class were taken
by anglers off Hatteras and Ore
gon Inlet during the season, but
these were the small school tuna
or baby bluefins.

UNCLE WILLIE FROM wANcHEsE WRITES:

60 out for length and time instead
Of fer depth and sense.
see, fer instant, where one
Congressman says his Conscience
vase lear in this missile squabble.
The trouble is he's probably
stretched it till he can see through
it. He was lambasting the news
papers, and when he ended up he
said there was no stink in Wash
ington about the missile program
and that it was all amongst the
newspapers. You ought to ask him,
Mister Editor, if he ever saw a
pole cat holding his own nose.
We was discussing the Zhukov
affair up at the country store
Saturday night and some of the
fellers couldn't understand why
Khrushchev didn't cut off Zhukov's
head in the customary Russian
style. Ed Doolittle said there's a
place in the Bible where David
took mercy on Saul and cut off his
shirt-tail instead of his head. But
the fellers ruled out the mercy
angle in this case. They agreed
that it was more embarrassing to
Zhukov to cut off his shirt-tail
than his head, and that's why
Khrushchev handled it like he did.
It's pretty hard to git around them
fellers up at the store when it
comes to horse sense. They fool
around horses too much.
Fer instant, when old Josh Pot
Ticker told the fellers he was
thinking about Citing married,
they told him that any Teller what
was thinking about Citing mar
ried wasn't doing much thinking.
