FISH IN Indiana are becoming extinct. Who wants to buy a couple of rods and reels? Fish in Kentucky are extinct. Anyone in the market for a fine tackle box with about $100 worth of plugs and other “sure-fire” miscellany? The fishing trip to Dale Hollow, Ky., the other day with members of the Izaak Walton League just about finished me with the fishing business. That or ‘else quit brag- #_, ging and lying. ‘ The two-day outing was in the fire for months. Thirty-five fishermen could hardly wait for the chartered bus to pull away from the 1100 E. Vermont St. mooring. One man was figuring how much his meat bill was going to go down. Another fisherman, a gentleman I know intimately since I pay his income taxes, sat in the bus and figured with pencil and paper the future fish supply. Doesn't a guy ever learn? “ Dib SIX P. M. was our departure time from Indianapolis. We pulled in the Wisdom Fishing Camp near the Tennessee border at 2:45 a. m. Every man was noisy, happy, confident. Of course, some were happier, noisier and more confident than others. Right here I-would like to interject a serious observation. For sheer forgetting business problems, getting away from daily routine, erasing everything from the mind, I don’t think you can beat fishing trips like the ones the Izaak Walton League take several times a year. It might not be good for the stomach but the spirits sure get a hin, " . oo *

Right to the Point By Harman W. Nichol

WASHINGTON, Apr. 18 (UP)—It might shock you to learn that our very young do a little thinking of their own on gloobal affairs. In fact a bunch of 10 and 11-year-olds at the Peninsula School in Menlo Park, Cal, got so worked up that they formed a committee of grade fivers and sat right down and dropped President Truman a line. That was a month ago. swered, I found out about the letter through Afton H. Ward, their classroom teacher. The teacher said that the matter came up during a spirited discussion of things international. The note to the chief -was done in pencil by one of the students and was signed by all—including small fry named John, Bill, a couple of Davids, Lloyd, Keith, Russell, Tibby, Suzanne, Janie, Dick, Johanne, Kenneth, Betty Jane and Anne. They were as polite and diplomatic as youngsters that age possibly can be. Sa SO THE LETTER started, “Dear Mr. President, we have been discussing the international sityation and think there must have been some solution. We have some suggestions.” ® Then the kids went down the line one, two, three, four and five. Under number one, they allowed that “the world ought to get together (not just a few

A. Auble and Carl Murat were from West Newton; Claude Gilliatt, Seymour, and Lloyd Palmer, Mooresville. Everyone had a fishing buddy. Claude Gilliatt, his son Gene, Jack Chambers and I had much previous hunting and fishing (not catching) experience so we decided to be a team, The foursome would split the $35 pool for the largest bass and the largest fish, no matter what species, caught. y By the time our strategy had been worked out,

Monty Wray was head man for the day with a 14-inch bass. Puny thing compared to the stuffed fish on the walls of the camp. Throughout the camp in the early evening hours you could hear the men vowing to get to bed early. The next and “final day of fishing was brutal. Again I don’t want you to get the wrong impression so I'll say from the standpoint of no fish. oe we WHY IS IT that something always isn’t right? The excuse at Dale Hollow was that we were too early.

No fish but lot of horseplay, lot of lies, laughs, relaxation, friendly rivalry on the trip. That's what really makes a fishing trip. It isn’t the fish you catch. Right, fishermen?

Pupils Tell Harry How to Keep Peace

In section number two of the note, the pupils of grade five asked that every country in the world fill out this ‘“question-air” and have it really represent all the people in the country. The questions were set down, A. B. C., etc. “A. Do you want to rule the world? “B. If so, why? “C. Do you want peace? If so, what would you be willing to give up to get it? “D. Do you believe in the Ten Commandments?” 8 hb Bb 0b IN SECTION three, the young thinkers put it to the commander-in-chief square from the shoulder:

—“Why don’t we,” they asked, “find the truth behind the Korean War and do something to stop it? How did this war really start?”

Section four didn't get down to cases, but asked a rather sensible question like “why do we have to go around the world killing each other?” “We think, instead,” the letter to Mr. T. suggested, “that it would be better if we used our money to save lives, like in studying disease. Why waste our cash on weapons to kill lives?” There may have been some adult tutoring oh the last section of the note. It was: “We should use our natural resources for more worthwhile things than wars.” The letter concluded:

“We realize that being President is pretty rough and we have confidence in you and we
