LOOK FOR THE tV;r&& ON THOROBREDSty : i fflnip mm ii i 5 Important reasons why Dayton Tires are DATED: 1 . Natural rubber is fixed by nature. Nature makes rubber from trees in just one form. OeHj minor changes can be made in its compounds. 2. Synthetic rubber is made as man desiresi Through the wonders of chemistry, synthetic rubber is produced in many compounds to meet specific needs. 3. Synthetic tire compounds are improving rapidly. Science already has made tremendous im pro vemcJits, and even longer-wearing tires are just ahead. 4. How can you get the latest and the best? Your eyes cannot tell you whether one tire will last longer than another. What standard of judgment can 70a nae? 5. The answer dated tires by Dayton; As a new special service, Dayton dates each tire to hefp you make sure you are getting the latest and bestr in synthetic tires. , MAKE A DATS WITH DAMON AT SIMS TIRE & BATTERY CO. v ED SIMS, Owner ; Phone 486 Main Street -fry ';oR; 1 iiiwiniMimiomii mi niiwiiiiiTioiffamof-Vr'T-tBirrT-r-nf Shown here are members of the Waynesville Mountaineer basketball team, winners of the Western North Carolina tournament in Canton recently.

ROD AND GUN NEWS By GENE WIKE (N. C. Division of Game and Inland Fisheries) Oh Yes, We're Well Blessed . . . It's the fishing season and high time we take advantage of the blessings bestowed upon us. Inqui ries numbering over a thousand a month flood the state advertising bureau, one fifth of which seek information on North Carolina fishing. And rightly so, for com mercially and, otherwise she's well blessed. Ths state ranks first among the South Atlantc States in the im portance of its fisheries. Some 30,000 people are directly depend ent upon the fishing industry for their livelihood, being employed in fishing, handling, catches, prepar ing the catches, and especially in the processing of menhaden into oil and fertilizer, and in guiding sports fishermen. Over 230,000,000 pounds of finned fish valued at over $4,000, 000 are taken annually: oysters, elams, softshell crabs, scallops, hard crabs (10,000,000 pounds), catches annually valued at three quarters of a million dollars. Yes, there are lots of good fish in the sea, and in inland waters too for that matter. In the" thrty-fifth annual fish eon test sponsored by "Field and Stream" carrying three hundred awards totaling $4,012.50, the Car olinas produced exactly half the prize-winners in the Southern di vision of laregmouth bass compe tition. These must have been whoppers, for it's reported that even ten and one-half pounders couldn't make the grade into the select circle. Texas carried off first honors with a 12 pound 8 ounce entry. North Carolina winners includ ed in early announcement of the contest just completed named C.E. Jordan of City Lake, and C. M. Eargle of Lake Lure. Jordan reeled in second prize in the Southern division with a 12 pound four ounce bass he landed with a hed don rod, pfluegcr reel, ashaway line and shimmy wiggler lure, while Eargle copped ninth place with a ten pound twelve ounce bass he took with a true temper rod, pflueger reel, unknown line and cheek club bait. Honorably mentioned were other Tar Heels, namely: Edward G. Horan's ten pound and four ounce entry from Ledbetter Lake; John L. Armstrong's ten pound and four ounce entry from McCormck Pond; Edward M. Dudley's ten pound two ounce entry from White Oak River; and K. K. Corbett's ten pound two ounce entry from Sanford. There's plenty more where these came from, why don't you try it? Hang On To Your Hat, You May Catch Him Yet . . . Speaking of fishing, you sportsmen had bet ter latch on to your easter bon nets they're biting everything and anything these days. Recently Wayne Owen's car skidded off the highway into Jonathan Creek near Waynesville, North Carolina. He wasn't injured, but the plunge broke a headlight, and when he retrieved the car a twenty-three and one-half inch brown trout was firmly caught on the broken light. During the scarcity of cars on the market, we'd advise a different bait. This One Didn't Get Away . . . John Dixon of Wilmington, report ed what is believed to be a record catch. Using a fresh water rod and reel he pulled a thirty pound bass from the waters of Town Creek, and he's got pictures to prove it. This coupled with three others weighing twenty, eleven, and two pounds respectively, comprised a profitable afternoon's pleasure, not ! to mention the nutritive endow ment. Mr. Bass Strikes Again . . . Max Capcl of Mt. Gilead, says the bass are striking hard and fast in the Pee Dee and Yadkin Rivers. Work ing these rivers the game and fish protector, Capel, spied a bewild ered fisherman struggling with the reel. Two largemouth bass, weight two and three pounds respectively, had struck the plug at the same time. There wasn't much the pro tector could do about it. The fish erman was both legal and lucky, since the creel limit in inland waters of the state is eight bass. Protectors Prowl . . . Fish and game protectors of the North Car olina Division of Game and In land Fisheries are continuing to prowl around the rivers, lakes and streams in search of illegal fishing. By land, water, and even air if necessary, says C. D. Kirkpatrick, chief of law enforcement for the State Division, we'll not rest until we have cleared the waters of nets and traps and swated the loathes that operate them. Banding together for this pur pose, protectors took nine large nets and five fishing traps from waters of Lee, Chatham, and Moore counties recently. They spent a week patrolling the Cape Fear, Deep River, Little River and tribu taries. The largtst nets taken measured over one hundred yards and three violators were appre hended at their nets. However, the closing of the hunt ing season marked a sharp decline in game violations. During Febru ary game protectors reported only forty prosecutions compared to two hundred during January. One al leged violator charged with putting sawdust in Fontana Lake appealed to higher court. Mrs. C. F Kirkpatrick spent a few days in Atlanta during the week. Scott Protests End Of Beef Subsidy RALEIGH Agriculture Com missioner Kerr Scott has protested the contemplated withdrawal of the subsidy on beef cattle on June 30 as a move to save feed. Upon being informed of plans to discontinue the subsidy, which averages around $5 per head on the better grades of beef cattle, Scott wired Agriculture Secretary Clinton P. Anderson that the re moval of the subsidy would not have the desired effect, since very little grain is fed to cattle from May through October. "The result of the subsidy dis continuance, as I see it, would be to discourage beef production rath er than to save feed," Scott said. April Conference To Stress Peace WASHINGTON Plans for a "win - the - peace conference" de signed to bring about "a return to the policies of international unity authored by President Roosevelt" were discussed at a conference of its congressional sponsors. Representative Adolph J. Sabath (D.) of Illinois, told reporters that he and 22 other Democratic mem bers of Congress had joined citi zens in calling the conference be cause "victory, for which we paid so high a price, seems to be slip ping from our grasp." He said the conference to be held here on April 5, 6, and 7 will attempt to "bring home to the American people and their leaders the danger of talking about war. war, war, instead of about peace."
