REV CROSS WARNS
OF POISONOUS IVY

iOnce again comes the season
of the Big Itch. Poison Ivy, that
is.
Sooner or later almost every
one gets a touch of poison ivy.
Even the apartment dweller
whose nearest contact with
nature is an occasional stroll in
the park can become a victim.
There usually is poison ivy in
the park.
Even if you stay on the side
walks exclusively, your dog
may run through the poison ivy
vines and bring it back to you
Or your neighbor may burn
some leaves and thereby send
tiny droplets of the oil in
poison ivy into the air to settle
on your skin.
Poison ivy and it's close kin,
poison oak, are three-leafed
climbing plants. On the ground
they are about a foot high, but
more often they climb up walls,
fences and trees. Sometimes
they are mixed with honey
suckle, morning glories and
other climbing plants. Poison
sumac is a small shrub with
small white berries. The effect
of all three is the same-a
singing itching patch of blist-
ers. Discomfort is acute. If the
rash is spread over a consider
able portion of the body, it can
become a serious affair.
There is no cure for poison
ivy. There are lotions and oint-
ments that will ease the pain
and itching while it runs it's
course. Because there is no
cure, the quacks offer a wide
variety of claimed cures. Save
your money.
Poison ivy puts hundreds in
hospitals every year and thous-
sands more go at least once to
a physicion to get relief. If the
face or eyes are involved, by
all means see doctor quickly.
The best precaution against
poison ivy is to know how to
recognize the plants and avoid
them. Any natural history book
and many encyclopedias have
photos of the plants. The main
identifying factor is the three
leafed twig.
If you have been exposed,
wash thoroughly, several times,
using plenty of soap and hot
water. You may be able to get
at least some of the OIL off be-
fore it irritates the skin. If you
get a light case, use calomine or
some other soothing lotion.
Some people, who never have
had a poison ivy rash, think
they are immune. The odds are
that they've just been lucky.
Very few ARE simmune. Some
are more susceptible than 9TH
ers, and these unlucky individ-
uals develop the rash summer
after summer.
Next time you go outside for
gardening, make a careful
search for poison ivy. If you
find any, spray it with strong
weed killer or dig it out roots
and all and dispose of it care
fully. Clean the hoe and rake
thoroughly, rubbing them in
dry sand or dirt. The oil drop
lets can cling to tools and colth-
'ng for long periods.

The White House said late

Rockfishinq
Same Sport
Everywhere

AT first glance, you would
say the methods of catching
rockfish change as soon as vol
leave Chesapeake Bay.
! Actually, they don't. There
are variations and the fishing
is in different waters, but the
sports the same.
Striped bass. as soon as they
lie We Chesapeake waters, art
an ocean fish. Therefore, from
Jersey north, the primary fish.
ing methods are surf casting
and trolling.

bound and small boats troll
among these because they arr
favorite haunts of stripers. Fa.
vorite bats are cells or eel skins
rugged for trolling. Bucktails
are similar to ours.
Small or school" stripers
travel up the tidal streams and
estuaries just as they do our
own Potomac and Patuxent
Rivers and trollers go after
them in the early morning and
late afternoon as we do.
One method that differs is
the use of live bait such as
whole mackerel. Our only SINH
lar fishing would be the drift
ing of live eelS or the use OF
soft crabs.
Also different is the surf
casting. Surf casters are a
breed apart. Take the Cape Cod
Canal. In spring and fall there
are spectacular runs of striped
bass. Starting at dusk. surf
fishermen roam in cars up and
down the highway that paral-
lels the canal or gather in
groups to look for the tell-tale
gulls or other signs of fish.
When the stripers appear
surf-casters take to the rocks
along the canal edges and cast
wooden plugs by the hour in
the swift current. This may GO
on all night.
In the early spring when the
herring run is on, these, too,
are good bats.
A visit to any of the bait
shops will show large stocks of
Atom plugs, which the manu-
facturers have been trying to
popularize in Chesapeake Bay.
In small sizes they do take fish
but mostly when you can find
them breaking or in shallow
water around piers or rock
piles.
Those used by surf-casters
are much larger, often tipped
with a white bucktail or a 40
hook. other plugs resemble
herring or mackerel or other
favorite foods of rockfish.
Down on Cape Cod, the
beach = buggy comes into its
own and there are beach-bug-
gy clubs that roam the dunes
looking for hot spots for bass.
Many also trail surf boats;
that is, outboards that they
launch from the beach and
then cast toward it.
The fishing is good, there is
no denying. Biologists say only
10 per cent of the rockfish
spawned in Chesapeake Bay
migrate and they represent 80
per cent of the crop north of
the bay. COVELL.

ANGLING IN NEW ENGLAND
Fishing Like Prospecting
By CHARLES COVELL
Outdoor Editor

NEW BEDFORD, Mass, Aug.
2l.-The wandering fisherman
usually can find plenty to keep
him busy, limited only by the
extent of his ambition, time
and the size of his purse. Here
there's Swordfishing or 8-pound
bluefiSh.
Let's take the swordfish
Washington's marlin fraternity
will be interested to know that
what Cuttyhunk proudly calls
the first International sword
fishing tournament has been a
success. Through the five days
OF individual competition, nine
fish, topped by a 1872 " pound
er, were taken. That's excellent
for swordfish.
The total was one less than
the 1860 count and the same
as in 1861, for this is the third
first international tournament.
The First" is easy to explain
because whoever heard of a
swordfish tournament? Sword
fish always have been so elu-
sive that no one would dare
risk such promotion.
Venture Could Grow
The international" isn't so
easy. because despite the gran
diose title, the bulk of the fish
ermen are from nearby States.
Nevertheless, the venture could
grow for if tiny Cuttyhunk gets
the dock space it needs, boats.
shippers and prominent fisher
men may be attracted from far
places.
The truth is that outside of
perhaps the waters off Mon
tauk, Long Island, there isn't
another area to rival this one
for swordfish. For many years,
hardly a boat of any size in
this or any other nearby port
but what has carried a sword
fish pulpit and keglining them
for fun or profit is an old pas I
time.
Although swordfish may be
driven temporarily far offshore
by storms. they always return
and have a happy habit of
baSking on the surface under
a benign sun. Fishing boats
steal close, then from the rallied
pulpit, harpoon the snoozing
billfish.
With rod and reel, swordfish
are by far the most difficult of
all billfish to bait but in this
tournament good success was
achieved with trolled eel and
squid. Favorite grounds are 10
to is miles southwest of No
manSland, within easy reach of
Cuttyhunk, which is one of the
Elizabeth Islands a short dis
lance across BuZZar Bay
from New Bedford.
To almost all fishermen, the
name Cuttyhunk is Synonom-
Gus with big striped bass. Why
it has chosen to go out for
recognition in the big game
field is obviously based on a
desire to compete with Mon
tauk, Ocean City. Md, Cape
HatteraS and other ia m gu
places for the dollars of the
wealthy Sportsmen.
For Swordfishing is a sport
for the well-heeled and don't
mistake it. For those with less,
there also is good fishin G.
Sometimes it isn't even neces-
sary to go beyond your own
back yard. Like at Monkey
Island.
New Bedford is on the

Acushnet River. Close to Buzz
yards Bay and in the shadow
Of abandoned cotton mills and
neat, modern homes is Monkey
Island. More ally, the
black-topped promenade end
ing in a stone jetty that ex-
tends well out into the river
was named in honor of a for
mer mayor, Francis j. Lawler,
but to every fisherman it is
still Monkey Island.
At Monkey Island right now,
you can catch bluefish. Fur
thermore. these are no snapper
blues, but whoppers of 3 to
sometimes 8 pounds.
Now bluefish are no stran-
gers to New Bedford waters.
For many years. snappers have
been caught drifting sand cells,
small silversides or killifish
from the bridges. The blues ar
rive in late August and the
fishing gets progressively bet
ter until October.
Bite Only at Night
But this fishing is different.
First of all. the blues bite only
at night. They won't touch, as
most blues do, a cast plug or
lure but insist on chunks of
fresh mackerel on a 20 or 80
hook. An incoming tide is best
and the fishing is good from
about an hour after dark I'M
til an hour after daylight.
The other night this writer
saw a barrage of flashlights
and found an angler leaving
the jetty with six of the incest
