Fishing Permits Make Sense Even For 'No-Gallus' Angler (EDITOR'S NOTE ? The fol lowing article on North Carolina fishing licenses is reprinted from the Charlotte Observer.) There are too many poor peo ple in North Carolina at any time There are never so many of-them as when the Cleneral Assembly tackles the question of whether a bait fisherman should pay a little license fee. That is when vou learn that the creek and river banks are inhabit-, ?d, in spring and summer, by the iged. the infirm and the poverty stricken. All struggling with a cane )olc and'fishing worm to provide he evening meal. That is when you learn of Kast ?rn Carolina's exhibit in poverty, he "no-gallus" man." He is one step worse off than the "one-gallus iran" of Gene Talmadgo's Georgia. \nd it is asked in the Legislature, n his name, how a man who can lot support his pants can afford to ;o buying licenses to fish in the rriek. That question has sealed the < loom of a series of so-called "fixh ng .worm bills." Now, from Raleigh, the Wildlife Resources Commission declares its intention :o give the idea still another try. It is to be hoped, in all defer ?nee to poverty, that the eommis don makes the grade next year. For the storv of the galluses, or the lack of them, has been exag gerated. and the facts that make rood sense of fishing licenses for ishing worms have not been under stood. As things stand now. a bait fish erman can spend the ? entire year on the creeks and rivers of his home county without paying a cent for the privilege. Yet his neighbor, whose angling tastes may turn toward a plug or fly, must pay at lea6t (1.10 a year to cast the same waters. It is the task of the Wildlife Commission to police those waters, to replenish the fish, to remove the scavengers and to educate the i public in conservation Yet its I labors, which benefit all fisher men, are sunported by only a por tion of them. The commission is eligible to re ceive federal aid under the Dingle Johnson Act. Those funds come from taxes on fishing equipment, which is sold in large quantity in North Carolina. Yet the funds are distributed among the states .ac cording to fishing license sales, and North Carolina is proportion i ately low in those sales because of j the exemptions under the law. The promise of the "fishing I worm bill" is better fishing for everyone in North Carolina, now and in the future. Its price, $1.10, is low even by the standards drawn in General Assembly oratory, i As low, in fact, as the price of a set of galluses. High School Grid Scores i I Canton 25, Bethel 0. Clyde 19.

Clyde Still Unscored On As Mars Hill Beaten 19-0 rjyotft ? ?p ^ro^n lers Uug Able Vrg Defy By JIM THOMAS , SAN FRANCISCO (API ? If you want to take a shot at catch ing the world record brown trout. I can tell you where he lives. 1 found his address on a trip , j to Eastern Shasta Countv in nor thern California, an area that is criss-crossed with crystal clear j streams which are inhabited by grown-up rainbow and brown ; trout. It's a country where the na tives refer to an 18-inch rainbow, going maybe three pounds, as "a nice little lish". I caught those "nice little ! fish".. And then I went visiting I with Jack Bell, superintendent , t of the Department of Fish and Game Crystal I-ake Hatchery, j and that's where I learned about the monster browns. ? It's easy to reach these mons ter browns ? or the water in which they live. The place is called Baum I.ake. And it's easy to see the mon sters. tort. Nearly all of the fishermen who have staved in the area have done it. No one knows just how big they are but the estimates run up to about 4 feet long and eight to 10 inches across the back. Fellows who've stood on the banks and watched them swim past throwing a six inch wake will give you odds that at least one will break the world record, if he's ever landed. And the world record is 39' !? pounds, set by VV. Muir who took the mons ter fish from I.ake Awe, Scot land, in 1866. For a quarter of a century Raum Lake was closed to fishing. But two years ago the Depart ment of Fish and (iame made ar rangements to open it up. Sinee then scores of persons have seen the lunkers. and four men have hooked them. Two of the anglers who man aged to entice the big boys were fishing from the banks. They were in about the same fix as the early day cowboy who roped the locomotive. The darned things just wouldn't stay snubbed, and when they came to the end of all the fishermen's lines they just went right on. The other two fished from boats. One was unfortunate enough to hook his fish near an old sunken fence. Me was in business lust long enough for the brownie to take a couple of turns and a half hitch around a post. Then all he had to do was un fasten the snarled up end of his line. The fourth lucky angler was in a boat and in good water, lie cut loose and let the fish fight the rod and the boat too for an hour and 45 minutes. Then the old brownie got tired, or remem bered a date. Anyway he rolled over and wrapped up the line and kicked it loose with a swipe of his foot-wide tail. Of course, fish don't spend 25 or 30 years retting big without retting smart too. At least the California browns don't.

In the fourth quarter, Rogers sparked another march and the (Cardinals drove 52 yards, climaxed ; by the former's plunge from the two. Commenting on the Mars Hill game, Clyde coach H. B. Grlffn said his line played better than expected?particularly on defense. He singled out McCracken for praise for his "excellent" ball handling and faking. He Called Rogers "ffte best ball player on the field?who got the necessary yardage when we needed it"?and added that Caldwell and Martin also ran well. The one gloomy note in the vic tory over Mars Hill was the fact that Rogers suffered a deep lacera tion on his forehead which required i six stitches to close. Coach Griffin ; said he will probably keep his var I slty fullback out of this Friday's I game against Bakersville. In Rogers' place will be George Med | ford. 160-pound junior.
