TIME and TIDE By JIMMIE HABriSS We have just read portions of an ar ticle by Clifton Fadiman published in The Saturday Review, in which he is quite properly disturbed by the current inadqueacies of high school education. While we agree for the most part with Mr. Fadiman’s views on education, we rise indignant at his disparagement of quail shooting. Unlike Volaire, we even challenge his right to make such remarks. Obviously, he has never hunt ed quail. His essay states: “If he (the high school graduate) has learned little or no history, geography, science, mathe matics, foreign languages, or English he will, naturally enough, learn golf, quail shooting . . . . ” Quail shooting cannot be catagorized, and it is incomparable.

Large Cache Of Liquor Captured Spot Fishing Is Attracting Crowds Spot fishermen feel that their favorite fall sport is just before reaching its peak along the coast of Brunswick coun ty, although thus far there has been considerable delay in the arrival of these tasty little fish. Those who have used gill nets on the beach have netted quite a few, but for the most part they have been small. Muddy water and heavy seas have messed up pier fishing for the past few days. During the past weekend there were literally scores of small boats fishing at both Lockwoods Folly and Shal lotte inlets, and pretty good results were reported.
