BAY
FISHING
Capt. Gene Hunt
GAIL D"
Chesapeake Beach. Nd.

Charlie D. Maggie is little
guy who lives for only one
thing-fishing. There. are not
many days that go by without
Charlie wetting a line some
where. Even in the dead of win
ter when things are froze up
solid down here, Charlie will go
up the Potomac to catch catfish.
AS you might expect Charlie
is good. He will consistently
catch fish while others are wall
ing about how poor things are.
This year has been without a
doubt the worst season for bot
tom fishing most of us ever ex-
perienced. But what is Charlie
doing? He is catching fish.
THURSDAY, July 81 for the Sec
ond night in a row Charlie
eased into the dock with a
bushel basket full of great big
beautiful hardheads. Where he
goes is no secret. He fishes the
shoal water around Sharp's
Island. 1t is how he fishes that
makes Charlie different from
most of us. To begin with Char
lie has loads of one thing most
of us have long ago discarded
patience. One of the most bene-
fetal aspects of fishing should
be the relaxation that comes
when you lay back and forget
everything except the line in
your hand. Most folks don't
know how to do this anymore.
They rush down to the Bay,
leap out of their cars and rip
and race up and down the dock
getting their gear aboard the
boat, stew and fret all the way
across the Bay because the boat

isn't fast enough, fling their
lines overheard before the an.
Choir takes up and in two min
utes begin to grippe because the
fish aren't waiting right there
with their little mouths open.
You don't suppose to do it
that away. Now, Charlie he does
it different. He will go in
around the Island, get himself
situated with as little fuss and
commotion as possible. Then, sit
back and wait. He has sense
enough to know that even if the
fish We're here when he pulled
up in this shoal water they
would be scared off. He don't
stamp up and down hard
enough to wake up the dead. He
just sits back and quietly re-
lakes. If there is a party boat
in the area, Charlie knows his
chances are slim until they
leave. When he starts to fish,
Charlie will use good fresh
bloodworms, peel a crab or nice
fresh shrimp. He will buy his
shrimp at food store not the
junk they package and sell at
tackle shops (most of the stuff
they put up for bait is so rank
even a self-respecting toad fish
won't eat it,.
Then he will wait the fish
out. If they don't come the first
hour he will wait until the next
and sure enough sooner or later
they will show up. And so while
most of us are running around
all over creation doing nothing
except burning gas and oil,
Charlie is setting back catching
fish. Simple, isn't 1t?

interrogation DR.. John A.
Morsell, assistant to the exec
utive secretary, said:
Reginald Rose certainly did
not mean to do so, but he has
given aid and comfort to the

southern Negroes do not want
the schools desegregated and
that they are impelled in that
direction only by pressure
from outside agitators.
"The role of Gates, the or
ganizer' is entirely fictitious
and has no counterpart what
ever in real life. The truth is
that the initial impetus for
desegregation has me,with-
out exception, from members
of the Negro community them
selves, a disappointing few at
times, to be sure, but in no
case owing to outside agents
who came in and sold them
on the idea.
Giving due credit for the
good intentions underlying its

to jam the hotel ballroom, they
hired three bands and several
bartenders.
But as the evening twisted
to a close. only 81 persons had
shown up. The bands played
to the wide open spaces, and
the bartenders stood around
munching twisted pretzels.
Promoters of the affair
blamed the poor turnout on
wet weather.
