"Bill, a very tired and very happy fisherman wants you to write about 8 good sized paragraphs for "Up The Stream" by Bob Wilson, as told by Bill Kftiah. Y'-? are to use the Southport date line and don't you dare show me the copy before you send it off. It is to be your own stuff." Incidently, it may be remarked here that today's circulation of The Times-Herald, several editions, in all of which the story of the Southport fishing will run goes to 201,000 copies.

There were three parties here j 11 this week from Washington, I , D. C., and they arrived at various times, staying from two to three days in each instance. One of these parties was headed by Don. N. Carpenter, ! hunting and fishing editor of I The Washington Dailey News. , | His crowd was composed of | George Koplin, Wilbur Moxley and Harry Sydel. They enI countered bad weather from ! the start, but made what they j called splendid catches. All were j 'highly pleased. Over the radio and through his column in The . Daily News, Carpenter has been giving Southport some , very valuable publicity. He is very much sold on the fishing possibilities here, and through his good offices hundreds of eastern' sportsmen have become very much interested lo, cally. With Don one of the boosters, Southport is assured of Rpeiner hundreds of sportsmen '! from Washington and Maryland p j this season. 11 Another Washington party . this week was headed by Bob Wilson, the "Up The Stream" I man on The Washington Times 5 Herald. His party was composed of Mr. and Mrs. Ralph i Murdock, Mr. and Mrs. Lester ( Smithison, Bill Garrison and John Stranford. Stranford is j business manager of The Times . Herald and Garrison is owner . of one of the largest sporting , goods houses in Washington. i Perhaps it was only fitting II that he should catch a couple j of the biggest amberjacks taken. His largest fish weighed - 36-pounds and he got another , that came just two pounds un1 der that.

Returned Purse ; Makes First Day , Guest Happy ; I Caswell Lodge was opened for the season Saturday, and of one of the first day's guests the management made a lasting friend. The gentleman in question had been dpwi) for several hours, when suddenly he missed his pocketbooH. Immediately he instituted a frantic search, but no sign of the missing wallet was found at any of the places he had visited^ during the day. Remembering that he had heard a splash in the waters of the Caswell yacht basin while down there earlier in the day, the man was making preparations to have boys dive in and search the bottom of the basin at low tide. At this juncture, up walked H. H. Thomas, manager of the Caswell properties and presented the owner with his purse. "You know what is in there"? the happy gentleman asked. "Nope", confessed Thomas. "I didn't look". "Just seventeen 20-dollar bills", he said, and began to count. A recheck revealed that there actually had been 20 of the twenties?or four hundred aoiiars. Caswell Lodge will be managed this year by Mrs. Kathleen Sadler and will remain open throughout the summer season.
