'But You Shoulda Been Here Yesterday' ? n? n r\Kf n'.u HT l/fvm IT&l""? "??" AP Newsfeetures The vacation fisherman wh hears the familiar resort-Jak phrase, "you should have beei here yesterday when they wet' hlting." can be understandably de pressed about the whole thing. What he has really done ? thoughtful husband and fathei that he is ? amounts to takini the family to a pleasant spol when swimming is fine, the weath er calls the family outdoors fot sun and play, and where the fish ing is good practically any other time of year. For it is an unfortunate irony that most inland Ashing is best earlier in the summer and later in the fall. Rut old Dad can get a few crumbs while the family is eat ing his cake, if he knows how. After all, the popular vacation lake* all contain fish, or they wouldn't have become popular va cation lake* in the beginning. And it's a fact that sport fishermen can't take all the fish out of any reasonable lake. It's more likely that a busy resort lake is over populated. with fish actually stunt ed from overcrowding. The vacation angler can take his cue from that. He can look out of his cottage window and see the evidence. On a sunny summer day. the. shoreline resounds with the porpoising of families in swim ming. The lake itself buzzes with motor boats and cruisers. These fellows are doing their iishing early in the morning. Around noon thin peaceful spot will become a swimming hole for other outdoor worshippers. Result; No fish. But let him look .it the same water by the dawn's early light, or j on those eool drizzly days when! everyone else wants to stay in | doors. For instance, in the black bass j range which is virtually border to \ border, the man drifting quietly a few yards off shore a half-hour ] before daybreak may find a lunker i greeting his frog or plug or pop ping bug close to where the young ? 'uns will be shieking four hours i hence. In the off hours, he'll find that even the busiest lake reverts large ly to its native type. And at mid night when the walleyes move in shore things look just about the way they.did when the only tracks on the beach were made by moc casins. And he may be the fellow they mean when they tell a new guest tomorrow. "You should have been here yesterday." 'Dr. Minnie' Will Confer j With Latin College Women Hy JANF. EADS WASHINGTON ?

Congressional Reporter Takes Pictures To Forget Oratory By JANE EADS WASHINGTON ? Roy L. Whit man. as official reporter of debates at the U. S. House of Representa tives for some 20 years, has not only had to listen to but record for posterity the lofty, and sometimes not so lofty, oratory of our lawmak ers. f doubt if Mr. Whitman has de veloped ulcers, or even jitters, while jotting down the verbiage of congressmen, for with his gentle and understanding wife he has in dulged in a hobby that takes him far afield from politics and the tur moil of the day's work, "He's been interested in pho tography as long as I've known him and that's been about 45 years," Mrs. Whitman told me. "We're roamers and with his camera we've traveled the length and breadth of this country three times. We've also been to Canada, Mexico and Hawaii.' Recently the Whitmans showed; their collection of outstanding col- j or pictures of Hawaiian island J scenes in a National Capital Parks program on the Washington Monu ment grounds. The pictures were made during ; a month's trip to the islands in ; 1952. They rented a ear and hired | a driver to take them around. Mrs. ' Whitman said In the United States, they visit the national parks in their own car. "As soon as Congress adjourns we're going to Europe and I guess we'll be coming back with a lot of new pictures." Mrs. Whitman said. "We'll start with the British Isles and wo are looking forward to go ing to Scotland. We'll try to take in all tbp territory we can." The Whitmans take pictures only, for their own enjoyment and that' of their friends and never have any picture-lecture in mind when they ! start out on their vacation junkets.1 Usually they try to spend part of the summer at the family place at | Bar Harbor. Maine, where they are joined by their married son and daughter and six grandchildren. The son. Dr. B. L. Whitman of'j Drexel Hill. Pa., has two young daughters; the daughter.
