MORT WHITE'S BASS1 ENTERED IN PRIZE FISHING CONTEST fflwmgmniimiigBmmBaia- -- A prize bass caught on a fly rod by a Roanoke Rapids man has been entered in the national contest of Field & Stream. The local fisher man, who bids for fame, is Mort F. White, 1304 Hamilton St., manager of the North Avenue Billiard par lor. On last Thursday. June 23rd, in company with fisherman Robert Braswell and paddler Henry Cash well, both of whom witnessed the catch, Mort snagged and pulled in from Jones Mill Pond one large mouth bass weighing seven and one half pounds. 7 Vi pounds of bass is not unusual in this section of North Carolina, but when you land one in the boat of that size on a fly rod, that is something. It may be a national record. Mort was using a Parmacheine Belle No. 6, which means something only to flycasting anglers, and aft er landing the big fish he sent the bug back to the makers of Peck’s Bass Bugs with the note that this particular bug had done its duty and deserved a long rest. On the same bug the same day, Mort had also landed another bass weighing nearly two pounds and four bream. — Hold Meeting Calvary Club On Wedn'sd'y I The Calvary Home Demonstration Club met in the club room of the Calvary School June 22nd at 2:30 p.m. There were 13 members pres ent and the meeting was conducted by the president, Mrs. J.
