Bailey) The detailed statement of the ap propriation made uy the Appropria tion Committee of which 1 ant a mem ber -and call your particular attention to the fact that we appropriated $2,992r.-19,(lO more than the Revenue Hill, which passed the House and is now in tho Senate calls for. Please note this detailed statement especially on the laet that two hun dred new teachers.' are provided for, for .which $120,(HhUi0 for the first year and $ 12ti,iioo.uO for the second year have lu en piovided, which fund wiis not in the last budget. Note also the money allowed for raised certi- cates, increased certificates for the first year and second year, sick leave and compensation insurance, all of which items were not in previous budgets. I believe that i' our school ieopIe will study this appropriation state ment that they will agree that the present legislature has done all that was humanly possible to do. I followed Mr. F.rwin's program all through the appropriation com mittee and voted for every tax that would enable us to increase the teacher's salary and the increase al lowed the teachers will be a minimum of twenty per cent the first year and an increase of twenty-five per cent for the second year and while Mr. brwin wanted more appropriation, the ap propriation committee, as you will note, has already appropriated prac tically three million dollars more than the revenue bill will yield.

Miss McDowell, who is a sister ot Mrs. Frank Williams, Rosewood ave nue is now a senior in the W'omans University of North Carolina, Greens boro, N. C., which she entered follow ing her graduation from high school. She was a student in the Waynesville. S. C. high school for three years, and was enrolled in the Point Pleasant Beach high school during her senior Miss McDowell's many local fnends will be happy to learn of her acad emic success and the honor recen ay bestowed upon her. Hut rain or no, a handful of the old guard was on hand, .; ready to drop their poles- when the -sacred hour .struck. That was up at fishing hcaduartfi . ior Maryland, l-islinig Creek, near Frederick. Going . rathcii ftirther it.ield, the Herald Food Section interviewed Mr. Ijiiuriston Hardin, of Waynesville, N. C., ah inveterate .fisliernian' of .(Caro linian mountain streams for the past 1(1 years. Mr. Hardin tells' 0 that the now Great Smoky Mountains Na tional Park is -one. of the greatest paradises for fishermen in the whole world. Thole are (ilM) miles of splen did' trout fishing stream.s fast water with plenty of drop, and clear as glass. TEEM WITH BASS And in addition to the trout water, I hey have a number . of fine lake s that teem simply teem with black bass. There are also 2,000 mills, of stf'am which are controlled by the National Forest Service; These 'are open' for only ,30 days during the summer, and must be fished .under regulations of the Fore-st Service. When Mr. Hardin gut -through showing u.s the gorgeous ..photographs of mountain streams and waterfalls which Representative Zebuloh Wea ver keeps handy in his office at the Capitol, we decided we'd have to make the Great Smokies- vacation headquarters-this--year,- Higher and more mountainous than the Adiron dack section, this" is a natural resort region which hasn't been exploited. FISHING POINTERS We also found out a few pointers on fishing, while we had such an ex pert at interviewing distance. S we asked a few questions about rods annd flies and such. Mr. Hardin makes his own flies- both body: and hackles. Even the feathers are home grown, because he raises his own chickens. He has had the best lutk with a gray hackle, known affection itely in the Great Smokies as the "Little Gem." It has two feathers; a gray one and a yellowish one. The gray one comes from his Plymouth Rocks the yellow onr f rorri a mon grel breed that sprouts this particu lar shade, which appeals to the trout ish eye and heart. His best rod, Mr. Hardin told us'; is a five-ounce rod, made by Alby & Imbrey, an old firm in the game, but a rod no longer obtainable. With it he has caught trout as long as 25 inches. The record for that region is a 29-inch r-ainbow trout, weighing nine pounds, caught oh Cataloochee Creek which is probably tho finest trout stream in all America.
