1000 years.
The varnish on the wood was
as bright and new appearing as
though it had been. applied q
few months before. Unques-

varnish work had applied II

face.
No varnish job can be ex-

they all agree that the secre'
to any successful Job is careful

If the old finish is crazed

cracks, no amount Of fine quail

ishes. If the wood is, staineC

Ye CompIeot Angler, Whot Is He?
Ye Editor Probes
HowYe Pustime
Can EmptyPurse
BY CHARLES COVELL
oukdoor Tditn.

Old Ike Walton really
started something when
he wrote ''Ye Compleat
Angler.
Although Ike used arti-
7ficial baitS-a dozen diff
ferent flies and a minnow so
curiouSly wrought that it
would beguile any sharp
sighted trout still We angler
could get by with q long pole,
9 line Of horsehair, q hook
and a worm.
But take We compleat angler
today. Would such simplicity
satisfy him2 Nay. gentle
reader. and that's what makes
sports fishing big business.
Fish and Wildlife figures
show that 19,S14,02l fisher
men spent $50,374,832 In 1859
tno figures available for l960)
Just for licenses. You will note.
OF course, that the number of
fishermen does not include the
/ legions Of salt water anglers
who require no liscense.
What Does II Take?
What does it take to be a
compleat angler? It's lucky for
their bank accounts that some
seem content to specialize in
one form Of fishing or another.
But many others try to cover
the whole field, so let's add 1t
up and see just how budget
wrecking the sport can be:
Wen start with a boy fish
ing from q bank. He has a
cheap casting rod. reel, line,
bobber. small sinker and a
hook. Two sticks and q piece
OF line make stringer. A tin
can holds his bait. His tackle
cost less than $40.
By and by the boy starts
to grow-up He tires of CATCH
ing bluegills. perch and so
forth. Maybe Dad begins
teaching him to cast properly
and takes him fishing. MY.
what a thrill to see q real
lunker smash at Dads lure
and succumb to q light spin
ming outfit.
Hes Got the Fever
So our boy grows UP. He's
got the fever. He's read about
fly casting, bait casting, spin
casting, spinning, surf casting,
trolling and big game fishing
and he's ready to try 'em all,
Oh, hoy!!
Trout season comes first
and he starts buying tackle.
He's not wealthy so he gets
quality merchandise but not
the most expensive.

Farmville Patient
With First Treated
BY MCV Maxitron

When members of the Farm
vile Woman's Club joined with
other clubs in the Virginia Fed
Grafton of Women's Clubs to
raise $4,000 toward the cost of
the Medical College of Virginia S
new tWo-million-volt X-ray ma
chine, little did they know that
their effort would have a home
town echo SO soon.
Among the very first patients
to be treated with MCV's huge
new MaXitron was Mrs. Kenneth
L. McClenny, of Farmville.
The $4,000 x-ray machine was
installed and dedicated in an ad-
dition to the Ennion G.. Williams
Hospital, an NOV division, in
January.
Mrs. McClenny, an NOV pa
tent, is being treated for a blood
vessel tumor in the mastoid sec
ton. The treatment serves to
shrink the tumor. Her case is
complicated by previous mastoiu
difficulties.
Mr.. McClenny reports his wife
was the very first person treated
with the MaXitron. They began
May 8 and now l have witnessed

reported.
The huge machine will be
powerful new weapon in cancer
treatment, especially in in
instances Of deep-scatcd cancers.
III Virginia. There is no malig-
nancy i'll Mrs. McClennv's case,
so that many additional bcne-
fetal medical uses will be found
for the MaXitron.
The Virginia Federation of Wo-
mems Clubs raised approximate
~ $4,000 toward the $4,000
machine. The American Cancer
Society also contributed gener-
ously.

Ten New Workers
To BE Added At
Local Dress Plant

The Farmville Dress Company
plans to add about 10 more work
ers to the local garment factory
this week, according to John
Mitchell, local manager.
All three floors of the factory
building were busy Monday
morning, and Mitchell said the
new employees were necessary
to keep production on schedule.
The plant has been operating with
some 40 per cent of its former
employees out on strike.
The plant now has completed
an expansion program. and has
started shipments direct to Gus
toners. eliminating the step of
shipping the goods to New York
for finishing and re-shipment.
No move has been made to
settle the strike that is now in
its third week. Leonard Ander-
son, owner of the Dress Com
pany. said the strike was wild
cat since he had no official
notification of the unions inten-
ton to strike.
Union officials say they are
seeking changes to the contract
that expired March IS.
