What are old fishermen going
to do when they are weathered
out Of their favorite sport? Well,
8 times out Of 10, they are
going to find a coy spot and
bat the breeze about fishing.
The size of the fish are bound
to grow in the process.
For most of the summer,
Howard Swami, who operates
at Piney Portland operates is
a good word because Howard
has his talents moving in sew
eral directionS-had been urg-
ing me to come down and let
him take me fishing.
AS the big blues began to
gather on the Southwest Middle
Grounds, Howard became more
insistant that I come down
and let the best captain on
the Bay" show me where the
bluefiSh were biting.
So it was arranged that
would reach Piney Point the
night before. We would arise
and be up and at 'em early the
next morning.
Plenty Of White Caps
The afternoon I left Wash
ington the weatherman re-
ported Is to 30-knot north
winds on Chesapeake Bay and
said small craft warnings were
up for most points. It did say
the wind would drop the next
day to 10 to Is knots.
When I arrived in Piney Point
the little bay in back of Swann's
store was whipped into white
caps and the Potomac River
across the road looked a little
like a bad day on the English
Channel. And the wind-right
out Of the north-blew with
great enthusiasm until bedtime.
I woke up during the night
and was happy to be greeted
by silence. No leaves rustling
in the trees, and from what I
could see from my window, the
Potomac appeared calm.
But after breakfast, we
stepped out the front door and
when the north wind hit me
from the side, 1 made a mental
reservation that if we did get
out on the bay we were going
to be fishing with one hand
and holding on with the other
Joining us for this wind
blown expedition were Mr.. and
Mrs. Johnny Roberts Of Wash
ington. Mrs. Roberts is Swann's
cousin and was born in st
Marys County. She dearly
loves to fish.
We pulled away from the
dock and I noted that the
white caps around the inlet
in back of SWANS were just
as white as the day before.
Our craft was going with
the wind. One could feel the
blow against ones back, but
the boat did little bouncing
in the following sea.
When we passed the mouth
Of the st. Mary's River, Swami
leaned over and said:
wheeler, we're never coins
to make it out there today"
My friend has got TO qualify
as a prophet on that one.
We wallowed on down the

river, past st. Georges Island,
past st. Mary's River, past
Smiths Greek and Cornfield
Harbor and headed out toward
the bay. The Point Lookout
Bar now became visible. 1t was
a mass of frothy white.
The Norther now was hitting
us almost full on as we turned
into the bay itself. Pretty soon
some Of those waves were COM
ing over the pilot house. The
five of us had to huddle in the
tiny cabin to keep from getting
soaked to the skin.
Our skipper didn't debate
very long, although no one Of
fered any advice. He made a
wide circle and sometime later
we we're sitting in the coy con-
fines of the big room In back
of Swann's store, drying out
with the heater on high.
Capt. Shell Russell, who has
operated charter boats in St.
Mary's County for quite a spell
had the floor.
Yep, these fishermen are
something when it comes to
talking about the size Of a
fish," he said.
Sells His Fish
II had this rockfish I caught.
I weighed it on a good set of
scales and it came exactly to
1912 pounds. A fellow standing
on the dock asked me If l
wanted to sell it.
Sure I told him. I'll sell
it for As cents a pound He
counted out the money and
took the fish"
1T was just a week later
this same fellow was back on
the dock. He was telling me
about the big fish he bought
down here last week. He said
it weighed SO pounds and was
81 inches from the tip of his
nose to the tip of his tail and
that his girth was 10 inches.
He said he put it in the bath
tub and it filled it up from
end to end"
We'll" Swami said, Maybe
he weighed it on Frank Beans
scales. There was a new baby
over there in Franks neigh
borhood and when it came
time to weigh it no one could
find the scales.
Big Hardheads
Frank ran down to his boat
and got the scales he weighs
all his fish with. You know,
that baby weighed 48 pounds"
I think they did Frank some
what of an injustice. We ran
into him later in the day over
at Johnny Shaffer's store at
Tall Timbers. He had the dry
grins over the story of the
baby but didn't bother to deny
it.
He did show us some huge
hardheads he has been catch
ing at night in a favorite spot
in the Potomac River. One, he
said, weighed 6 pounds and
another 4. The reputed g.

Nebraskan
Even though I shoot the TO-
pin from the left side, Joe,
usually miss it. What tip can
you give me to help me make
this spare regularity" asks q
reader in Nebraska.
Most bowlers will miss the
10-pin. Their ball will hook to
the left of the pin and leave
it untouched. I think this
comes as the result of their
fear Of the right gutter.
So, ignore the right gutter.
Pretend you have plenty of
room to the right of the 10
pin and release your ball boldly
to the right. Let your hook
keep the ball on the lane and
bring it back into the l0-pin,
as we show.
And don't face the l0-pin
spare with a defeatist attitude
Be confident you can make it.
You'll be surprised how often
you can with the right attitude.

Fishing Spotty
After Daysof
Rough Winds

4AAC AlIIO-WCCh ICpOlb VII .GLIc
fishing available to us was on
the discouraging side.
Continued north and north
east winds knocked the spots
off the situation at practically
all Of the ocean points through
Wednesday. Not enough fisher
men had been out after that
to get much of a line on how
things were going to shape up
after the blows stopped.
No one fished anywhere Mon
day, unless he was foolhardy,
and reports from the Chesa-
peake Bay area were spotty, to
say the least.
Eel Floaters Active
Some of the eel floaters were
reported catching rockfish
weighing Is and II pounds
around the Stone Rock out of
South River, but the fish were
rather scarce.
Saturday, before the blow
started. Capt. Bud Whitman
and his party caught 80 nice
rockfish cumming on the Hill.
Most Of the fish went above 8
pounds. Mrs. Sally Hazard of
Washington caught the largest
one-a 5-pounder.
There are schools of rockfish
breaking all over Herring Bay
around 6 pm, and they can be
found from the No. l can bouy
on to Holland Point. But they
have been choosy and hard to
catch. Some fishermen have
been doing well with casting
plugs. They seem to prefer the
large green number with the
bucktail on the end.
Trollers haven't been as sue
cessful with these fish.
One boat picked up Is big
blues around Sharp's Island
this week, and one was reported
to have been a 6-pounder.
Big Blues Still Around
The big blues still are on the
edge of the Ships Channel be-
tween the 16 and 16AA buoys
off Point Lookout when the
boats can stay out there. The
yellow rag mop still is the
killer with them.
Capt. Rhode Langley went
to the Southwest Middle
Grounds Tuesday, leaving Solo
mons at II am. He picked up
"a Of these blues. the largest
weighing 6 pounds.
Closer to Solomons, the boats
fishing at Flag Pond and Punch
Island were getting so to 70 of
the smaller size blues. Some
rock were mixed with them.
Elsewhere the reports were
pretty discouraging, except
that Wachapreague, Va, re-
ported five channel bass caught
in the surf, along with one
albacore. No boats had been
able to get into the ocean.
Didn't Stay Out Long
At Chincoteague, Capt.
Stanley M. burlington said two
boats went out from there and
one returned with 200 trout
and the other with 100. but the
weather didn't let them stay
out long.
At Ocean City the report was
that no one had been out ocean
fishing in six days and that
the fishing around the bridge
and jetties was poor.
Indian River Inlet also had
a six-day hiatus on fishing
outside, but a few founder,
rockfish and black wills had
been caught in Delaware Bay
and on the jetties.

FASHION NOTEBOOK
Sleeves Back Again
In Fashions for Fall

NEW YORK. N. Y, July
17.-Out Of the big blur Of
seeing clothes. and talking
shop with designers that
takes place each season when
we see the new collections,
there are times when we
have to admit the whole
thing has its enjoyable mo-
mentS.
Sunday afternoon we
trotted over to Mollie Parnis'
Park avenue apartment and
relaxed a bit by looking at
her new Cezanne, a matisse,
a Utrillo, and a Dali she has
just hanging around the
house."
Her son, Robert LIVINGSTONE,
a theatrical producer, gave
the party for his mother who
is in Russia at the Moscow
Film Festival.
A Gable
Her Russian greeting was
brief. Two words: Greeting
Press" Gable costs, we
gather, are pretty high in
Russia.
This is one Of the ways we
discover who's behind the
label. In Mollie's case her
home reflects the fact that
she's a woman who adores
collecting Nielsen, paintings,
and Baccarat glass. We also
had a chance to see some
pretty chic coasters her
guests use. They are four by
four reproductions Of FL
Greco paintings.
Where Pauline Trigere is
concerned, behind her dress
label is q very energetic
woman with a sense of
humor.
Doing the commentary for
her newSmaking collection,
Pauline, who was flying off
to Paris late last Saturday
night, told Fashion Editors
she was taking an entire
plum pudding" colored
wardrobe.
It's her favorite new color.
She may have been unwit-
tingly influenced because on
her last trip she took a lot of
Trigere originals to give to
relatives. They told her,
Pauline. don't you ever wear
anything but black?
John Weitz, when he did
the commentary for his very
expensive boutique group,
made no bones about this
clothes are different and
expensive" and meant to be
worn in the country.
Clothes for wild, stormy
days are not chi-chi.
For inspiration he trotS

He has French "combing
coats" with raffles in fabu-
lous silks for evening. He
even ruffles mink in a cape
let for one Of the most origi-
nal fur fashions we've seen.
RuffIes
Arnold Scaasi is another
designer who likes ruffles
and flourishes for flattery
this season. So do Oleg Cas-
SIM, and Bill Blass.
B. H. Wragge sticks with

rendition Of the song Hap
py Days Are Here Again."
now that dresses have made
their acquaintance with
sleeves.
His shoe-string coat is q
big success when done in
bold black and white herring
bone checked tweed.
He has plenty of jumpers
in velveteen and tweed and
they are worn with hand
somely tailored long-sleeved
shirts with artists bows.
There are turtlenecks ga
lore, not only in dresses but
as bibs filling In necklines.
Our color favorite here is a
moonstone blue and a curry
color teamed with navy
tweed.
Scaasi's metallic brocade
evening gowns with their
long coats are a shiny out
look on the subject. Scarlet
red crepe in a Dolman
sleeved, long willowy silhou-
cite is Arnold's newest cou-
ture idea for the woman with
an advanced fashion sense.
A really bright spot in our
collection viewing for fall
and winter was seeing the
Christian Dior group done by
CASTOR Berthelot.
Now in New York, he for
merly designed for the Dior
establishment in Paris for IL
years.
His coats and suits are in
the tradition of the house,
superbly tailored and eye
catching. Lots Of color espe-
cially violet Is seen along
with many claret tones.
He has trench coats ga
lore lots of mohair suits
q cuffed hem on q skirt
is a detail to look for {.
plus a real eye-opener in a
tweed cossack pants-Suit
worn with boots. A soften
ing up Of the neckline for
daytime is seen with small
cowl effects noticeable.
Burke-Amey's fall credo is
plenty Of bias cuts plas-
tron fronts sheltering
cloaks and the use Of
fabulous scalamandre deco
rator fabrics similar to those
on the walls Of the White
House.
Chiffon for afternoon is
one of his suggestions and
these are in prints by the
new American fabric talent,
Tzaims Luksus. He plots q
fashion course Of action that
involves diagonal and checked
woods.

and comes up with q nifty
coat design similar to those

there.
This fall and winter, look
for a romantic wool head
scarf that is a steal from the
headdreSs of @ Peruvian
woman. Trigere likes a
carbon color, lots of long
sleeves, and plenty Of the
princess shape.
Most of her silhouettes are
fluid. Her capes once called
"Pauline's Folly" are every
where in the market.

Mary Honsberger Gives Beta Sig Report

A detailed report of the state wide Beta Sigma Phi convention held recently in Anchorage was given to xxi Kappa chapter at it's regular meeting by Mary Hons berger. In addition to telling the Nome members of the full conven tion schedule, she shared the sou venir contents of tote bag which each delegate received. The bags were made up by Anchorage soror- ity members and depicted the "in- ternationaP' theme of the cOnven- ton.
 Beta Sigma Phi chapters are ac- tive in countries all over the west ern world and each bag featured an individual figure in native cos tune representing one of the coun- tries.
 Xxi Kappa members participated in a study program entitled Pub lice Speaking" as prepared by Ruth Mclean. Co-hostesses for the meet ing and a social hour afterwards were Beverly Morgan and Beverly Blaming.

Unemployment Rate for Nome is 9.9 Per Cent

JUNEAU R - Alaska's insured unemployment rate was 49 per cent during the week ending Oct. 12, up from AS per cent the pre- vious week, Labor Commissioner Gil Johnson said today.
 Johnson attributed the rise to new claims filed by persons in the commercial fishing and fish pro- cessing industries.
 The Oct. l2 rate compared with 40 per cent during the same week a year ago, reflecting, Johnson said, the poor fishing season on Bristol Bay and slackening activi- ty in the transportation, cOmmu nications and mining industries.
 Continuing unemployment in sured by state law during the week ending Oct. 12 was 1928.
 The insured unemployment rate by area included Anchorage, 5.1 per cent; Fairbanks 80; Juneau A; Ketchikan 5.5; Nome 9.9; Pe- tersburg 14.9, and Sitka 21.

Hayes Opinion
 Anchors Scott in City Clerk Seat

JUNEAU LR - Provisions of Alaska law calling for the filing of declarations of candidacy by persons seeking municipal office do not prohibit write-in votes, Atty. Gen. George N. Hayes said yesterday.
 "A qualified person receiving d sufficient number of votes is cleo ted whether his name is printed on the ballot or not" Hayes said in an opinion written for Thomas Balone, City Attorney for Nome
 "A person elected to public of flee must have certain qualifica- tions," Hayes said.
 "This is so whether he is a de- clared candidate, who files his dec laration and whose name appears on the ballot, or whether he is elected without having formally filed his declaration.
 "A formal declaration of candi- dacy is neither a qualification nor a prerequisite to public office"
 In Nome's Oct. 1 municipal cleo ton, Balone had ruled that 245 writein votes received by Robert Scott for the office of City Clerk were invalid because he had not filed a declaration of candidacy.
 Scott received more votes than Chuck Frazier, whose name was the only one appearing on the ballot for the office of City Clerk. Frazier received 2O6 votes.

State Chamber
 Told Get Together And Chart Course

JUNEAU R-The State of Alas ka has had enough studies on means to achieve economic devel- opment, the vice president of a San Francisco management con- sultant firm told the State Cham Der of Commerce today
 Speaking before the Chambers Fourth Annual Meeting, Gordon Smith of Booz, Allen & Hamilton said that what is needed now are clear objectives for the future, ef- fective leadership and motiva- ton.
 There is a tremendous need for cooperation between all agen- cies, government and private, in terested in economic develop ment, Smith said.
 He said efforts to achieve eco- homie development have been marked, to some extent, by con- fusion and indecision.
 While he said he did not in- tend to be critical, Smith said there was a desperate need for Alaskans not only to recognize their problems but also to realize that they cannot be solved over night.
 Among major problems he emu merated were small population in relation to the size of the state, high unemployment, high cost of production and high government employment.
 Smith said one of the reasons the state had failed thus far in attracting large capital invest ments is because there is not a sufficiently imaginative effort on the part of Alaskans to attract in- vestment capital.
 "If Alaskans do not exhibit greater internal pride" Smith said, "Alaska's image on the out side will be impaired

SOLICIT COINS FOR
 TWO LOCAL PROJECTS

Golden painted cans are being distributed throughout the various business establishments in Nome. These cans, about 12 in number, are for the collection of donations to the Nome Chamber of Com merce. The money contributed will be used to further two projects: The collection of mining day relics to be placed in Nome proper, and the continued effort to plug for the Nome to Fairbanks road.
