days of absolute nothing and it
was that way all over the Bay.
We had boats out all day long
which caught only two or three
fish. We could find the fish all
right but they just wouldn't
bite. They do this every once in
a while, and sometimes this
sulking will go on for week
or more. So Monday evening l
decided to play it smart. 1
phoned my party, Irv Fogel of
Chevy Chase and advised him
to stay home and save his time
and money. 1 assured him that
things were at rock bottom
and that it would be just a
waste of time for him to come
down. Well, Irv, not being as
smart about rockfish as / am
said they would come down any
way and at least enjoy a boat
ride. And sure enough Tuesday
morning they arrived-bright
eyed and full of hopes. We
sailed over to the western edge
of Tilghmen's Island and vast

luctant rockfish out of the grass
beds. We left here and headed
up into the Choptank River
when Capt. Ronnie Harrison
called from his Levronson and
said he had caught a half dozen
fish. We had been seeing these
fish on our fathometer for three
days but up until then we had
failed to get them to take any
lure. Just below Cooks Point
bell buoy, we got flash on the
meter and dropped our lines
over.
l am sure you guessed what
happened. Those fool fish bit
their heads off. We had them
all the rest of the day clean up
until dark. When we headed for
home, the total count was 155
fish in the box trout, blues
and rockfish. So you see what
/ mean. After shooting off my
big fat mouth the fish turned
right around and made a liar
out of me. One thing is certain,
it's going to be long time be-
fore I again get smart enough
Ito call another party and tell
them to stay home.
Thursday morning before sun
up we hit those big rock again
on The Hill. They came up and
broke for about 10 minutes.
With Henry and Herbie Dietle
of Silver Spring, we had a ball.
We hung a dozen and landed
nine. These nine fish ran just
about 100 pounds. We also
caught another dozen smaller
rock running about two pounds.

The Congressional Cla S sic

Is 6O0's and 81 zoos. There
were five team games over

for the 18-team league was 922.
High set was made by Bill
Lectka with 24S215-235 1898.
Bill needed only nine pins with
his last ball; he got only seven.
In this game Bill blew the a.
pin. He had split in the sec
ond game and blew the 10-pin
in the last game. He had nine
strikes in the first game, Z in
the second and eight in the last
To top it off, he was using his
new ball for the first time.

Milford Jaycees To
Observe National Week

Members of the Milford Junior
Chamber of Commerce will help
observe National Jaycee Week,
January 1921, 1861.
The Week celebrates the found
ing of the Junior Chamber in 1915
in st. Louis, the brain child of
Henry Giessenbier, Jr., who call
ed together members of a St.
Louis dancing club to form the
Young Mems Progressive Civic
Association. The name was later
starting the abbreviation, ]. G.
In 1918 the ST. Louis Chamber
of Commerce invited the Junior
Citizens to become affiliated as the
Junior Chamber of Commerce. The
affiliation was so popular that the
st. Louis Plan soon spread to
many cities in the nation. The
Jaycees, however, are no longer
an arm of the Chamber of Com
merce. Though the similarity in
name remains, only the aim of civ
ic betterment is similar.
The movement spread so fast
LHdI WlIHlH year IH0 OHlIeu
States Junior Chamber of Com
merce was formed with "a cities
represented.
The organization has reached
such proportions that today there
are more than 3,70O chapters in
the national Jaycees with a quar-
ter million members. The Jaycee
movement has also reached to 80
nations and territories with over
100000 members in more than
4,500 chapters. Junior Chamber
International, the worlds third
largest international club, main
tains headquarters in Miami
Beach. The United States Jaycee
headquarters is in Tulsa, Okla

The Jaycee movement came to
Delaware with the organizing of
a chapter in Dover prior to World
War II. Among the charter men,
bers of the Jaycee chapter was the
