1( Pishing Arrests
Made At Lake James
Nine game wardens, including
llufus Hatcliffe of Haywood county,
were called to Lake James over the
past week-end to clamp down on
fishing law violators. Due to the
rainy weal her, the violators were
not active as they had been earlier
in the season, but 16 arrests for
persons without licenses were
made as a warning that Western
North Carolina waters would be
protected for legal sporting activi
ties only.
Mr. Ralcliffe states, however,
that the fishermen of Haywood
county are following the state laws
quite well, and that very few warn
ings or arrests have been necessary
here.

New Clubs, New Score
For Local Linksman
A new set of woods and some
new post-war golf balls enlivened
the spirits and ability of one local
linksman enough to cut 10 strokes
off his usual score, and now his
buddies, Joe Rose and "Red" Pre
vosl are asking for a handicap be
fore setting out for the next 18
holes.
Our hero, who does a little
hanking as well, is Jonathan
Woody. He hit his new mark of
73 last week, and is hoping to keep
the good work up.
Golfers To Play
In Blind Bogey
A Blind Bogey tournament is
scheduled to be played Saturday at

PITCHING
He Couldn't Take
Ilis Own Advice
J C Little, Jr.. of Raleigh, has
a red lace.
Little was chairman of the Jun
ior Chamber of Commerce com
mittee charged with urging citizens
of Raleigh and Wake County to
vote, but Little didn't vote in the
prima ry.
Hack in 1941, Little registered
to vote in a city primary. Short
ly thereafter he entered service
Several years in the Marine Corps,
including overseas duty, and Little
couldn't remember whether he was
registered for the Democratic pri
mary, in fact, it hadn't occurred
to him I hat he wam't.
When Liltle attempted to vote
at Precinct No. 2. registrars were
unable to find his name on the
books. And for a good reason
Little was not registered.
Liltle has decided that he must
register early for the next r lec
tion or withdraw from the Jay-cees.
