into the rear seat of his car, and
started for home across the sandy
plains. The salmon, Mantakes said,
gave out with a lusty sneeze when
desert dust blew into its gills.
Startled, Mantakes whirled

DOUBLING UP . . . While on
the subject of outdoor oddities,
consider the two-in-one "catch"
made by Arthur Noteboom of St.
Peter, Minn. He landed a 6 3-4 -pound
bass when he shot a small
teal on the opening day of the
duck hunting season. The duck fell
in open water, and when Noteboom
rowed over to retrieve it he found
a bass choking on the bird. He
scooped both of them into his boat
Then there's the strange catch
Charles Evaneho made while lish
ing in a pond at Wilkes-Barre. Pa.
He came up with a Phi Beta Kap
pa key on his hook. Evancho re
turned it to its owner. Wilbur L.
Williams of Scranton, Pa., w ho re
ceived it while a student at Co
lumbia University 20 years ao
Williams had lost the key while
fishing in the pond.
And there's the case of the buck
who canae lo dinner. The deer
crashed into Mrs. Walter Nus-
baum's home at Lehightown I 'a..
through a window while Mrs. Nus
baum was entertaining Mr. and
Mrs. Walter Andreas. The buck
was upsetting furniture and smash
ing dishes when Andreas tackled
hina. He was wrestling the intruder
when police arrived and shot the
125-pound deer. Air who participat
ed in the capture were invited to
a venison feast.
I A pre Christmas present for ang
lers of western North Carolina has
I been wrapped up by the Division of
j Game and Inland Fisheries in the
form of an extension of its project
to improve fishing in several large
reservoirs through increasing the
food supply for game fish.
Under the project, numbers of
gizzard shad, a choice forage fish
for largemoulh bass, have been
provided by the Biological Read'
justment Division of the Tennessee
Valley Authority for stocking in
North Carolina reservoirs. These
have been placed in Lakes San-
teetlab, Fonlana, James, and Rhod
hiss.
New realeses of shad were made
in Lakes Santeetlah and Fontana
the last week in November, under
arrangements completed by Dr. R.
W. Eschmeyer of the TVA. A small
lake on an arm of Norris Reservoie
was drained by TVA biologists and
the shad recovered for distribu
tion. Luther Skaggs. superintend
ent of the Marion State Fish Hat
chery, reutnred with 80 very large
adult shad. Half of these were
placed in Lake James and half at
the Marion Hatchery to determine
if the lish can be propagated un
der conidlions at that hatchery,
which appear favorable.
A load of 75 adult shad was car
ried by Superintendent Leo Rieger
of the Waynesville Hatchery to
Lake Fonlana.
The Tennessee Division of Fish
and Game assisted
third load of 150 shad from its
fish rescue operations. These were
taken to Lake Santeetlah by Clyde
Anderson, superintendent of the
Mannon State Hatchery. Randolph
Shields of the North Carolina Divi
sion supervised the moving of the
fish to this Slate. On a later trip,
in December, Mr. Shields and Mr
Sltaggs obtained 600 adult gizzard
shad which were released in Lake
James, and 300 which were taken
to the headwaters of Lake H hod
hiss. First releases of shad under the
project were made early in 194(i.
when 75 large adult shad were
placed in Lake Santeetlah and 200
smaller adults in Lake Fontana.
The presence of gizzard shad in
the North Carolina reservoirs will
be an important addition to the
food supply for game fish, accord
ing to Dr. Willis King, supervisor
of fish resources of the Division ol
Game and Inland Fisheries. The
shad, native to the large rivers ol
the Tennessee system, is known to
be one of the principal forage
fishes for largemouth bass, and
the good fishing which has persist
ed in Norris, Douglas, and Chero
kee lakes in East Tennessee is at
tributed to the presence of thcsi
fish. The shad reproduces in tre
mendous numbers, and feeds ex
clusively on plant materials. Since
they do not compete with game
fish, they form a vital link in the

Perhaps the heps have been too
busy with fun and frolic to make
some New Year's resolutions. But
it's never too late.
Former Police Commissioner of
New Yoi k Louis J. Valentine, who
spent a lifetime in law enforce
ment, believed that so-called
juvenile delinquency in kids could
lie curbed, providing Ihe kid was
put' on the right path early in life.
That is one of the reasons why
he appeared on radio's Gangbuster
program after retirement from the
I ml ice department. He said he
wanted to be able to reach the
youth of the nation.
Here are some tips he wanted
me to give to teen-agers. It was
some of the last bit of advice he
i riii"
it
offered before his recent death:
1. Attend religious services at .
least once a week. Join in your
church's club activities.
' 2. Have the utmost respect for
your parents. Remember they
have learned by experience and
have your interest at heart.
'6. Keep sensible hours, im
prove your body with proper
nutrition and your mind with
good literature.
4. No matter how hard you
bave to work for it. plan at least
two years of high school educa
tion. 5. Never minele or befriend
questionable characters, espe
cially if you know them to lie
offenders of the law.
6. Never flaunt disrespect of a
police officer under any condi
tions, even if you feel justified.
You will have your say lo
prove you are right at Ihe
proper time. Mockery of a police
officer or the law will sain you
no good, and will cause unwar
ranted and antagonistic prac
tices. 7. Be a good citizen and re
frain from defacing, marking or
injuring any person or property.
It is just such trivialities that
can bring you in conflict with
the law.
8. Don't be a so-called "drug
store cowboy" or "cowgirl." In
publie hangouts, remember two
is company, three or four is a
mob.
. Never congregate in
"shady" appearing club rooms
where the atmosphere is con
ductive to wrong thinking and
which may be the breeding
plaee for crime.
10. Never try to make "easy
money" by betting on horses, pin
kali games, numbers or other so
called games of chance which
are primers for gambling.
There tips may not apply to all
of the heps you know. I'm sure
most of them are pretty sensible.
But eveiwif just a few profit, by
reading them much has been gain
ed, don't you think?
And don't forget those other
resolutions which the heps make
every year and manage to live up
to-r-lor a few months at least:

The Hazelwood baseball team
celebrated its successful season last
summer with a banquet at The
Lodge on Monday night. The team,
champions in the Western Carolina
Industrial League, had its banquet
during the holiday period so that
players who left to attend college
shortly before the season ended
could be present for the celebra
tion. George Bischoff, business man
ager for the club, was toastmaster
and introduced the wives of the
players and other guests. Tom
Bud i Blaloek, team manager, in
troduced the members of the team
and spoke of their contributions
to its success.
Carlton E. Weatherby W.T.H.S,
coach, gave the highlight address
on "Sportsmanship," describing
the advantages of competitive
spoils in the building of character
and community leadership. The
player, he said, learns more by
losing occasionally than by win
ning all the time, so long as he
still has the hope to win, and will
overcome his mistakes, in the
"next" game. The fact that a
man alibis for losing is not an in-
dicalion that he is a bad sport,
remarked the coach, but proves
that he still has the hope of win
ning when his team plays again.
Bill Milner, an outfielder of the
baseball team and an outstanding
football player at Duke, gave some
interesting comments on the grid
iron season.
