PAGE TWO 1-C Sports Afield By Ted Kesting In the late fall when cool nights drop the water tem peratures into the 80s, bass often bunch up back into the roughest, hardest to reach, cover in the lake. These back behind, impossible-to cast-to spots are known as the “boondocks." Let’s run through the “wheres and hows” of boon decking. They just might add up to a heavy stringer of two for you. ;Tackle: Because of the nigged spots you get into, and the need to manhandle a roughneck bass, a 20-pound test line, a sturdy rod with a flippant tip, and a reel with a: drag you can lock, if need be are recommended. :And be sure your stringer, if. you use one, is strong, pre ferably with locking snaps. be dragging your fish o-v e r logs, deadfalls and lipnbs. : When you leave home, gear fdr the day. This means packing a lunch, taking foul weather clothing, etc. Some fisherman prefer an ice chest for cold drinks, as well as a place to keep the fish fresh. : One final item. The use of a : golf glove on your non cgsting hand is wovth trying. You’re going to hang lures in Places you can’t get to, and you’ll simply have to break the line.

CHOWAN COUNTY TAX OFFICE cuts and abrasions that can get sore as blazes, especially if you handle many bass din ing your day out. The boat should be large enough for two men, but no larger. And it should boast a fairly shallow draft. An electric fishing motor is ideal, but be sure K has a rugged prop. Flooded timber is one of the prime .spots for boon docking. It takes experience to learn to recognize bass hang outs. Here are some to watch foe: clusters of trees, short pockets, lily pads, duck weed and outback water— overflow areas where water is found outside the normal body of the lake. According to Homer Circle, Angling Editor of Sports Afield Magazine, when a big bass pows your lure, over a log or deadfall, you’ve got to do a number of things fast. Hit him, hard, with a low rod tip and a full sweep up ward, with all the muscle you can muster. This, hope fully, buries the barb. Then you reel like mad, lifting your rod tip, to get that bass’s head pointed up. There’s not time or place for being sporty. Like play ing the fish and watching iti jump. You’ve got to work on that booger fast, hard and rough to get it into the open —out of the snaggy cover. THE CHOWAN HERALD, EDEHTOM. NORTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY, JANUARY XL Wl And contrary to what many of you will accept as sport ing, if you want bass on the stringer, big bass, there is no room for netting or for play ing the bass until it turns belly up. You get it headed toward your boat, and when it is near enough you hoist it into the air, grab the line just above its mouth and ease it into the boat. Give a bass, a big one, time to cavort around in the boondocks, and ypu’ll lose' not only bass but also the lures in their mouths, as they break lines on snags. ABSOLUTION Upon motion, duly second ed and unanimously carried, the following resolution was adopted: We, the Board of County Commissioners of Chowan County, wish to express our heartfelt congratulations to Charles W. Overman upon his completion of substantial ly 29 years of service to Chowan County as Extension Chairman or County Agricul tuial Agent. His administra tion as County Agent was evidenced by much progress in the agricultural life of Chowan County. He intro duced many new programs for the farmers of the County and promoted the use of the most advanced techniques, seeds, plants and practices by the farmer. During his ad ministration agricultural op erations progressed from the type which was “mule pow ered” to the most modern mechanical farming with the use of the most modern tech niques. He had a large hand in promoting this progress in' Chowan County. Most signi ficant is the fact that during his administration the farm income, exclusive of govern mental payments, increased until last year a total of more than $7,770,000 was received by the farmers of the Coun ty. We wish to extend to Charles W. Overman our sin cere good wishes upon the occasion of his retirement from this important position. Knowing that he has always participated in church, civic and community affairs as well as hobbies and - sports, we feel that he will continue to have a full and active life in the community and we wish to extend to him and Mrs. Overman every good wish for an interesting and pleasant retirement for many years. BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS W. E. Bond, Chairman Bertha B. Bunch, Clerk Make Going To Church A Habit JESUS INTERPRETS GOD’S LAW International Sunday School Lesson for Jan. 29 Memory Selection: “Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets; I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill.” —Matthew 5:17. Lesson Text: Matthew 5-7. In this lesson, special attention is devoted to Christ’s role as a teacher; and in this regard it is especially noteworthy that it was His wont, after an occasion of great stress, He often with drew from the crowds and spent His time in the midst of His devoted disciples. He was constant ly cognizant of the fact that He would not al ways be in their midst—that they must carry the Gospel to the peoples of the world, and do sc after He had paid the price of the world’s sins on the cross. Jesus was, in His day and time, something of a rebel. He did not subscribe to the letter of the law, as it was oftentimes literally written and accepted. He looked deeper into the text, putting into it a truer (although, by the stand ards of that day and time, a more radical in terpretation than the more conventional die hards were willing to admit). If we look back through previous lessons, we will continually have been struck by the fact that while Christ never gain-said the stringency of the Gospel demands. He brought a broad and liberal outlook to the interpretation of those de mands. He “saw the woods, despite the trees.” The bigger issues always overshadowed those of little consequence, in Christ’s eyes. Just as the widow’s mite was of greater consequence than the riches of those who could afford more— because of the sacrifice it represented. Restraint and goodwill towards one’s fellow man was the keynote of Christ’s life on earth. Hard to put into practice—human nature being human nature—yes. But of such was to be the Kingdom of God. But, along with restraint, Christ advocated, also, a policy of attack. Dis armament of a kind that is hard to beat. For with restraint and forebearance—of kindness and tolerance in the face of unkindness and intol erance, must come a sense of obligation. Attack ing with kindness the one who injures you must inevitably disarm that adversary. And if any doubt exists that Christ did not practice what He preached, we have only to look towards Cal vary for vindication of His beliefs. This„ then, is the ideal Christian life, the life that He lived. But if we do earnestly study the doctrines of Christianity, we are constrained to emulate the Saviour. Hard? Yes—and we may fall from grace a dozen times or more in the attempt. But, surely, if we try hard enough— if we try constantly—to live as God’s laws in tended for us to do, we must inevitably be more worthy of His love, and of the sacrifice His only begotten Son made on our behalf when He laid down Hi 3 life that our sins might be forgiven. And certainly God will judge us not from our failures, but for the effort we exert to live tr~ Godly life. God is Love.
