Resort Business
Bests ,58 Season

Resort business a la 1859 is
off to a flying start along New
Jersey beaches, in coastal areas
of Delaware, and through much
of the mountain fastness that
surrounds Pennsylvania's choice
vacation spots. That about sums
up how landlords and merchants
large and small-d e or b e
what they already have seen of
this years activity in the sum-
mer resort areas. Looking ahead,
they also see period in which,
given an even break on the
weather, there is an excellent
chance of bettering some .chal-
lenging records set in earlier
years.
To be sure, peak volume mea-
sured in people and their dol
lars is just beginning. AS always
it is crowded into a few short
weeks falling between Independ-
ence Day and Labor Day. This
year, the last summer holiday
comes a week later than in 1858,
so vacationers will have bit
longer to relax, or frolic, and
spend, our resort people would
hasten to add.
But it is not just that extra
time before the schools reopen
on which expectations of a BAN
ner year are based. Unlike 1858,
the current season has started
against a background of rapidly
improving economic conditions
bringing increased employment
and the higher earnings that go
with longer hours of work.

Basing its findings on statis-

Development Department advis-
es that, while Connecticut re-
tanned during 1858 the top per
capita income position among
American states, Delaware, with
$3.50 average annual income
per individual, remained well
ahead of its nearest rivals, New
York, New Jersey and Nevada,
who were third, fourth, and fifth,
respectively.
While Connecticut's 1858 per
capita income of $2,8l7 was the
highest in the Nation, it fell
short of the 1856 Delaware fig
ure of 1884, which remains as
an all-time record among Amer
ican states. The national average
for 1858 was $2,057.
Delaware's extraordinary pop
ulation growth of recent years
has naturally affected average
income, creating slight decline,
despite a significant rise in total

u. D. Experiment
To Offer Classes
Via TV Medium

The University of Delaware
this fall will join a growing num-
ber of American colleges and
universities in a unique educa-
tional experiment. Through the
division of university extension,
the university for the first time
in its history, will offer course
for credit combining the advant-
ages of instruction in the class
room and by nationwide televi-
sion hookup.
The course involved, Basic
Concepts in Chemistry, designed
especially for teachers of chem
istry and science, may be taken
for either graduate or under
graduate credit. Offered under
the auspices of the university
department of chemistry through
university extension, the course
will be coordinated with the ma
tionally-televised early-morning
program, M o d ern Chemistry,
which will be broadcast over the
National Broadcasting Company
television network as part of the
Continental Classroom series.
Modern Chemistry is the sec
ond college-level TV course for
credit to be offered on a net
work basis. Last year the Con-
tinental Classroom offering was
Atomic Age Physics. The view
ing audience, comprised of over
100000 persons, included ap-
proximately $4,000 teachers.
The chemistry course will be
televised Monday through Fri
day each week from $50 ZOO
am. locally on WRCV-TV, the
NBC outlet in Philadelphia, and
WBAL-TV in Baltimore, begin

tinue until May 27 with two-day

Lately, Crisfield, led by ener-
getic W. Harvey Bradshaw and
the towns publicity director
Mrs. Frances Carson, has beer
trying to promote itself as q
sports fishing center. There
are drawbacks such as the fact
that it has only one hotel

Variety Marks Fishing
In addition, the fishing is
much like you will find in
portions of the Bay much
closer to Washington with two
exceptions-a wider variety Of
fish and light-tackle angling
for striped bass.

singing the eternal praises Of
this form of fishing.
Crisfield has another attrac-
ton for the rockflsh devotee.
A line cast off one of its numer-
Gus piers when the time of day
and tide are right often pro-
duces a good catch.
Don't get us wrong. There
Is other good fishing. Capt.
Dewey Landon, who has been
fishing those waters for Sc
years, tells us that hardhead
are the first to arrive. usually
in April. They appear on Island
Rock, followed in early May
by big black drum.
From there the schools &c
to Great Rock and then the
Shelf. For bait he considers
hard crab as good as peeler OF
shedder crab. This season was
a poor one for hardhead, the
fish leaving the first week OF
May and staying away except
for a few caught in late July.
Drum usually run from go to
20 pounds although a 49,
FOUNDER was caught this sea-
son. Once in a while a chan
mel bass or red drum is taken.
Hard Crab Bait for Drum
An ordinary hardhead rig is
used for drum with No. 2 hooks
and hard crab as bait. AL
though clans are favorite food
for drum, Crisfielders use them
only for cumming.
After that come kingfish,
founder, trout and spot as well
as blues and an occasional
cobia or bonite as it is mis-
labeled in those waters. It's
hard to understand why more
cobia aren't taken because
boats from Point Lookout travel
all the way to Tangier to catch
cobia.
OF course, there are plenty
Of perch. especially King Will
liams which Capt. Landon says
are so abaundant they spoil the
other fishing.
He recalls many unusual
catches, including a real At.
Ilantic bonito which he tool
last year at the mouth of the
Annemessex. but perhaps the
oldest lately were cutlass fish

WATER LINE
Speed Over Bottom important
BY HANK BOWMAN

where there is no current, you
merely add the speed of the
current to your known boat
speed when moving with the
current and subtract the cur
rents speed when moving
against the current.
In this case Is plus S or 20
m.p.h. is the actual speed over
the bottom down river and Is
minus 5 or 10 m.p.h. for speed
over the bottom moving up
river.
Current on most bodies of wa
ter will vary from time to time.
If exact speed over the bottom
is important to you, check cur
rent conditions with local har-
Dor authorities.
*&
Wind and waves will affect
the speed of your boat through
the water.
If you have an accurate water
speedometer, their effect will
be recorded. If not, you will
have to make calculations for
any given weather conditions.
Remember that in plotting
the important speed you must
use to figure time required to
cover a certain distance will be
speed made good over the bot
tom, not speed over the water.
A knowledge of local current
conditions can be used to ad-
vantage. Frequently current
close to the shore line is slower
moving than in mid-channel.
Seeking out advantageous
currents can save time and fuel.
The problem becomes a bit
more complicated if the boat
man is travelling in a direction
so that the current reacts on
his boats beam, that is at
right angles to his course.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1959-08-30

A problem that often battles
the small boatman is the diff
ference between a boats speed
through the water and miles
covered over the bottom.
A boats speed through the
water for all practical pur-
poses is not affected by the
movement Of tide or speed of
current. If your boat is cap
able Of 20 miles per hour, it
will move through the water
at 20 m.p.h. with or against
a 6 m.p.h. current.
But the water you are speed
ing through at 20 m.p.h. is
moving, too!
Assume you are helmine

which you are heading is flow.

Your water speedometer j:

reading. However, after run

time, you may be surprised tc
find that you have covered only
10 miles.
When you turn your boat
downstream again, the speed
ometer still reads is n.p.h
Yet you make the return trir
in half an hour.
Your boat speed through the
water has been unaffected BY
the current in either direction
But the boats speed over the
bottom, which determines the
actual distance your boat viii
move in a given time. has beer
