Embarrassing Moment

Embarrassing Moment
Recently while fishing from
the south jetty at Indian River
Inlet, Mrs. Helen Columbo of
Wilmington brought to the edge
of the rocks a very unusual
catch. While fishing for strip
pers Mrs. Columbo felt what
she thought was fish strike
on her line. She set the hook
and prepared to reel in the
catch. However, the object at
the end of her line was ex-
tremely heavy and was not pro-
viding the characteristic antics
of a large stripper. In a very
short time the tension eased
from the line and a skin diver
appeared at the surface of the
water. Soon a second diver ap-
peared, and his assistance was
necessary in removing the hook
from the swim suit of the hook
ed diver. This is the first time
that a situation of this type has
occurred at the Inlet, an area
which skin divers utilize quite
often. In reality, the divers are
very helpful to all sportsmen
fishing along the rock jetties;
these underwater swimmers re-
trieve lost lures, hooks, Sinkers
and other gear. Many times
they aid offshore fishermen by
retrieving anchors which are
lost in wreckage and other OBJ
structions used as fishing
grounds. Skin divers are also
employed by scientific organi-
cations for underwater observa-
ton concerning our fin and
shell fishery.
Hot Spots
At present there are two
areas in the Delaware Bay pro-
viding anglers with a great deal
of excitement. One is in the vi
cinity of Mispillion Light House
jetty and the other area is Bow
ers. In the Mispillion area trout
are plentiful. A party of two
landed over 100 fish of all sizes
in recent two-day fishing
trip. The location of the catch
was approximately one-half
mile east of the Mispillion Light
House jetty.
In the Bowers area king fish
are very plentiful. The best fish
ing grounds are located due
east of Bowers, approximately
four miles from shore. There
are oyster ground markers and
navigation buoys in the area
which also aid in marking the
fishing grounds. 1t is unusual to
catch kings in the Delaware
Bay in any quantity. However,
catches are ranging from 20 to
100 in number. We would like
to suggest that extremely small
hooks be used, for the king
fish have small mouths located
on the under side of the head.
A hook no larger than No. 6 is
recommended.

The New Frontier Is
launching an ambitious pro-
gram to make the 5000 mem
bers of the diplomatic corps
a genuine part of the WASH
ington community during
their stay in the Nations
Capital.
Far too many diplomats
have gone back home after
service in Washington with
out ever having set foot in
side an American home,
sponsors of the new program
believe.
Far too many suffer in
convenience or embarraSs-
ment because they don't
know where to turn for ad-
vice or how to adjust to a
new and often very strange
environment, they add.
Hence, under sponsorship
Of all 10 cabinet wives and
the wives of the three Dis
trict Commissioners. the Hos
pitality and Information
Service for Diplomatic Resi-
dents and Families has been
established.
Participants
Many organizations, such
as the YWCA, the Red Cross,
the American Association of
University Women, the
United Church Women and
the Junior League are par
,ticipating.
To an extent, the new serv-
ice will coordinate work now
being done by many of the
cooperating organizations,
but it will launch new prof.
.ectS too.
There will be heavy en-
.phasis on helping the dip
lomats meet friends in their
immediate neighborhood, or
through some field Of COM
mon interest, such as art
or music.
Service volunteers hope to
do an acutal precinct-type
breakdown of the members
Of all the cooperating groups,
plus new volunteers, so that
diplomats can be paired with
Americans in their block or
neighborhood.
I'VE want them to get to
know their American neigh
bors in American homes. We
want those who like art to
meet other art lovers, those
who like sports to meet sport
lovers" said Mrs. Dudley
Owen, chairman of the serv-
ice.
Americans will be urged to
entertain the diplomats at
small, informal parties with
other Americans. The upcom-
ing holiday season, when
American hospitality is al
ways at its best" would be an
excellent time to start, says
Mrs. Eleanor Israel, consul
tant to Chief of Protocol An
gier Biddle Duke.
Were not the least bit
interested in promoting big
official parties" Mrs. Israel
added. THE high level dip
lomats go to loads of those
now-sometimes more than
they would wish. The lower
ranking diplomats often don't
go to any"
Mrs. Rusk, wife of the Sec
retary of State, and Mrs.
Robert Kennedy, wife of the
Attorney General, already
have scheduled a series of
small, cozy teas for groups
of Embassy wives. Other
cabinet wives plan similar
events.
New Service
Unlike a somewhat similar
service run for United
Nations diplomats in New
York, the new Washington
service does not plan to keep
complete track OF the social
doings of its 5000 diplomats,
Mrs. Israel said.
There is a card file on each
diplomat in New York, and
a record is made of every
bit of hospitality extended
by New Workers, she said.

we just lose some of our dip
lomats," she said. We'll keep
them informed of things" of
