Esso’s Road News Features Lake Phelps i j Says Meteor Struck Sec tion and Gorged Out Big Lake Geologists say that thousands of years ago a flaming meteor struck s the marshy lowlands of North Caro lina’s coastal plain and gouged out Phelps Lake’s vast bed. Fishermen add that, whatever its source, the state-owned lake is a mighty good i place to take your rod, says the cur rent issue of Esso Road News, month ly travel paper. Now being distribu ted by Esso Dealers throughout sev eral states, the publication contains articles about many other places of interest to motorists, a calendar of coming events and a' detout map r showing construction work on main i highways. Esso Road News goes on to say: Largemouthed bass, white and speck led perch, jack and crappie feed on the spring-fed bottom, and, as usual, bream are plentiful. A network of canals, dug by slave labor in ante bellum days, ties Albemarle Sound to the lake, which lies on a plateau fourteen feet above the level of the surrounding country. Pettigrew State Park, a strip of wooded ground that borders the lake’s north shore, is a wildlife sanc tuary, but the miles of surrounding swampland afford excellent bear, deer and duck hunting. Still standing on the lake shore is the plantation house built in 1804 by Josiah Collins as nucleus of his 25,- 000-acre estate, where slaves reaped rich crops of cotton, tobacco and rice. The old house has been restored by the state as one of the main attrac tionos of Pettigrew State Park. Built of hand-hewn cypress, the mansion dozes stolidly under a canopy of elm, water oak, sycamore and cypress , trees, planted in the days when harp- I, sichords tinkled in its broad halls. Cooling breezes sweep through full-length windows and down the corridors, whirl emptily up graceful stairways and whistle through arched fanlights. The floors are of widfe heart-pine and the rjiantels are hand carved. There are no furnishings, but the state plans to convert the house into a museum. The entire Phelps Lake region is wild and unsettled ocuntry, but you can rent a boat for $2 a day at J. E. Pierce’s place on the shore at the end of the road from Creswell. Mr. Pierce will arrange your hunt ing party if you plan to take a guide—a sound suggestion if you don’t know the region. Prices range up to S4O a day for a party of eight persons, including boats, motors, food and guides. Phelps Lake is 6 miles south of Creswell, N. C.

Pasteurization is a great scientific discovery that will kill the harmful bacteria that may be found in raw milk. The following diseases may be contacted through raw milk whether it be Grade ‘A,’ or ‘D,’ but if your milk is pas teurized, you have no worry: 1. UNDULANT FEVER. 2. TYPHOID FEVER. 3. CHOLERA. f 4. SEPTIC SORE THROAT. 5. DIPHTHERIA. 6. SCARLET FEVER. 7. TUBERCULOSIS. This information is found in the 10th edition of General Bac teriology Written by Edwin O. Jordan, Ph.D., who is the pro- Ifessor of bacteriology in the University of Chicago, (pp 670 and 671). We .have in Edenton a few restaurants and grocery stores that handle raw milk. When you use a bottle of milk, look at the stopper and see that it is labeled PASTEURIZED, also be sure to get the protective Seal-right hood that protects the pouring lip of your bottle from germs that may be contacted through handling.

You use that left hand f to add tip tension to the back cast, . thus giving distance and ease; to re trieve line, meanwhile working the t fly; to set the hook positively when j to do so with the rod tip would bring ; only missed rises; and to play a fish. I Jason Lucas, noted angling author ity, has some interesting comments on the first of these uses. All tourna ment distance casters, and many who fish for steelhead and salmon in j wide rivers, attain maximum distance r by employing what has been known I indiscriminately as the “double haul” J or the “left-hand haul.” { Lucas differentiates between these and also divides the latter into two , parts which he calls the short left hand haul. Let’s concentrate on the latter two, since the double haul is suited o’.ly for the very experienced ! fly caster with good tackle. The short left-hand haul is so sim , pie that anybody who can cast a fly at all should catch onto it in 10 min . utes. On your back cast, see to it that your left hand, holding the line • is, say, as high as your chest. Then, , as you begin the forward cast give a smooth, rather quick tug down with . that left hand. This pulls more bend , into the rod tip, puts more power there. So if your back cast is slightly listless and weak, this will compen sate to a great extent; if it has proper snap, this haul will let you shoot considerably more line than you could have otherwise. Remember that sometimes it' will be but a gentle tug of a few inches; on a long cast, or casting into a stiff wind—where this pull is invaluable— there will be a longer, sharper tug. get used to it. I recommend that even the beginner use a short pull at first, until you try this method. He should find him self casting more easily and positive ly than ever before, and be able to lay his fly neatly farther off. The long left-hand haul is more difficult, suitable for the moderately advanced fly caster. It gives still greater distance, but to get the full benefit from it, one should have a rod with goc-d backbone, and a properly fitting three-diameter line. ■ Even the veteran at ordinary trout fishing will regard this long left hand haul*as an emergency measure, to be used only when he cannot wade to within easy casting distance of some promising spot. In this method, the first part of the back cast is made as when using the short haul, except that more pow er is put into it. The rod tip must stop, as usual, slightly behind the vertical. But, once that upward toss is executed, the tip is allowed to move again, to drift farther back. At the same time, the left hand sweeps up fairly h ; gh, permitting line to shoot out backwards through the guides, but not to slip through the fingers. THE CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON, N. C., THURSDAY, AUGUST 25, 1949. I Then, as the forward cast is begun, ; the left hand whips the line quickly i downward, sometimes clear to the hip. j This pulls a very strong bend into i the rod, to send the line forward j with high speed, allowing one to make j a long shoot. | Poultry Council Is 5 Formed In Chatham i To meet the post-war problems of 1 small profit margins and keener com , petition from other sections of the . country, poultrymen of Chatham > pounty have formed a Poultry Coun i cil to improve the utility of the breed r ing, hatching eggs, baby chicks, and . broilers io the Chatham area, accord . ing to F.
