structure there is no longer the
feeling that the right to volunteer
is the responsibility Of someone
else, Miss Pernell stated. She point
ed out that the entire change rests
on the feeling Of equality and OBJ
legation.
She stated that the southern sit
ms demonstrate this, with the par
Elephants feeling a responsibility
for a situation in the society, feel
ing also that they can't wait and
let others act. If they are to have
an equal share in society, then an
equal share in the responsibility is
necessary antecedent. The feel
ing that one is equal is the key
factor determining ones actions.
Miss Pernell stated that to give
volunteer service was a demanding
kind Of thing. Agreeing to do a
job indicated a desire to express
ones self about a cause. Therefore,
volunteers have a responsibility to
prepare for given job and give
the best of themselves.
Miss Pernell cited the need for
an Indignation of the social and
personal interests pointing out
that too often personal needs
status, power, hmelight, etc. -
dominate and group activities be-
coming secondary.
Volunteer service, she said, Is a
way of self-expansion, enabling in
dividuals to enrich their lives,
linking them to humanity, and CIV
ing them a sense Of full human
dignity because Of a sense Of re-
sponsibility.
Mira Ruth Agar, a director Of
the Minneapolis Urban League and

gene Gould, Urban League Vice

NOTES.-The Rockville and Montgomery

be over before the first call for high school
football. The County has moved the starting
date for practice at all schools back to August
16, almost week earlier than last year.
This doesn't please or displease coach
Roy Lester of Richard Montgomery who at
this point is wondering where his squad
will work out Richard Montgomery field
has been torn up since May when work on
the new stadium track was strated. As
mentioned earlier in this column, the field
was supposed to be finished in time for
fall grid practice. Now, unless appear
ances are deceiving, it will take a double
time job to have any sort of solid turf for
the opening of the home football season
on September "a against Blair.
RMI1S plays the first two away, starting
under the lights at Northwestern on Septem-
Der g. The Rockets tied Blair for the Bi-Coun-

start, pitched the first no-hitter of the Interna
tonal League season against Havana and now
has won four games in a row to bring his sea
sons mark to SO.
The ace Toronto reliefer has been al
most untouchabIe in stopper role and
rumor has it that Washington and Cincin-
matt have been trying to buy up his con-
tract However, with Toronto owner Jack
Kent Cooke shifting at both the Interna-
tionaI League pennant gold dust and q
francise in the promised new major league,
Funk will probably bring a dear price.
Toronto now leads the loop by some 10
games.
In Franks appearance last Thursday he
strolled from the bull pen with the bases load
ed and nobody out to fan two and get the last
out on a ground out. His three shutout in
nings again made the difference for the Inter

BA Y
FISHING
Capt. Gene Hunt
GAIL D"
Chesapeake Beach, Md.

The big rockfish have left
The Gooses area and we
won't see them there again
until next fall. If they fol-
low their usual pattern they
will sshow up either on the
Stonerock or The Gooses
around the last of Septem-
Der.
There are plenty of pan rock
in the Bay and they will prob
ably be around all summer.
Wednesday we fished Mr.. and
Mrs. Francis Draley and their
daughter, Patricia, of Rockville.
We ran into plenty of rock in
side the Clay Banks but were
unfortunate enough to be in the
area at a time when grass was
floating in the water so thick
that you couldn't get your bait
through to the fish.
I solved the problem of the
grass by moving out of the
area. This bright move not only
got us out of the grass but got
us out of the fish. Total catch,
80 rock.
Mr.. Francis Draley, ST., and
his youngest son, David, of Ken
sington, made up the rest of
this fine party.
The best news in the bay
now, however, is that there are
plenty of spot to be caught at
all of their favorite hangouts.
They are getting more plentiful
and bigger on every tide.
Around the bay, then, we
have the following: Point Look
out area-plenty of spot, plenty
of pan rock and now trout are
beginning to show; Solomon's
area-Capt. George Willing re-
ports plenty of pan rock and
plenty of spot. Hardheads, very
spotty; upper bay-plenty of
pan rock everywhere and big
rockfish in Eastern Bay, on the
Wildground and on the Hill;
Herring Bay-plenty Of pan
rock and some spot and perch;
Chesapeake Beach area-plenty

improved knot jumps the aver.
age way up to 81 percent of the
testing strength of the line.
Blood Knot
The only other knot that need
be learned is the blood knot.
For years, all tapered leaders
were bought from an English
firm because no one knew how
to tie a knot that would leave
the two pieces of leader lying
in straight line, and that two
different diameters could be
knotted together properly. This
firm had the secret and
wouldn't share it.
Some keen angler finally fig
ured the special knot out and
spread the word throughout the
fishing world. Now. few fly
fishermen buy tapered leaders,
using the blood knot they make
their own. There's two reasons
for this. You can make leaders
for less than two cents, and diff
ferent fishing conditions call
for different tapered leaders.
Making your own eliminates
the problem of buying the cor
rect leader. You simply make
one to suit the occasion.
