Some of the boys were standing
around outside the store the other
day drinking Orange Crushes and
chewing Cannonball. The subject
of dry weather quite naturally came
up.
"You know, it's been so dry
around here this summer that the
last string of bluegills I caught had
fleas," allowed one fellow.
"That's nothing." said another.
"I had to dust off a fish the other
day just to see what kind he was."
"Yeah, it's pretty bad all right,"
someone else said. "1 haven't
caught many fish in the lakes where
I usually try my luck. The last time
1 looked at my favorite one, there
wasn't enough water in there to
make a good hog wallow. All the
fish were sneezing. 1 think they had
hay fever."
It has been a strange year. The
Piedmont has been suffering
through the worst drought in
recorded history, and yet if you
think back, parts of this past spring
were uncommonly wet. One friend
of mine swears that it got so wet on
his farm that he was catching
catfish in his rabbit boxes.
But it's different now. and as far
as fishing goes, there's really not
much you can do about dry
weather. The water is low, clear
and very warm, and the fish are just
not in the mood to do much
feeding. There are exceptions, of
course.
One friend of mine has done
fairly well by concentrating on a
couple of ponds that are fed by
strong springs. One of these ponds

it is now possible to drive from

having to post a cash bond for

tion of the individual's driver
license, the non-resident may be
given a citation and released on his
own recognizance instead of being
required to post collateral or bond.
The member states of the Com
pact now are North Carolina.
Virginia. District of Columbia.
Maryland. Delaware. Pennsylvan

A resident of any of the states
participating in this Compact
agreement who receives a citation
in a member state and fails to abide
by the citation will have his driver
license suspended by the home
state until he complies with the
terms of the citation.
Commissioner Powell said "In
this modern era the traveling
motorist often carries little cash
and his credit is not acceptable in
another state. In many instances he
is required to spend time in jail
until cash for bond can be ob
tained."
"North Carolina has found the
Non- Resident Violator Compact to
be of tremendous benefit not only
to our residents but to the residents
of the other jurisdictions who are
members. It saves the motoring
public considerable time and often
eliminates embarrassment to them
for failure to have adequate funds
to post bond," he said.

is nearly bank full despite the
drought, and he's caught some fish
out of it. He claims that the
ultra-clear water makes it difficult
to take fish during strong daylight,
but he's had pretty good luck in the
early morning and late evening.
People who fish the larger lakes
are not finding much action, and
the same is true of stream and river
fishing.
One friend of mine likes to wade
Piedmont streams and small rivers
this time of year, but he readily
admits that it's been frustrating.
I've had similar results fishing for
mountain trout. The streams are so
low and clear that the trout are
inactive, especially during the day
light hours. Also, they can see you
from such distances that it's diffi
cult to put a fly over them.
There is one bright spot for
stream fishermen, however. If you
can arrange to be on the stream ?
either a trout stream or bass and
panfish stream -? during one of
those rare showers, you can often
experience fantastic fishing as the
water rises and grows murky.
Virtually all gamefish react favor
ably to the sudden influx of cool,
oxygenated water. Also, food is
washed into the stream and the fish
go on a wild feeding spree.
Even so, the arrival of the first
half of the dove season has been an
exceedingly welcome event. It may
be dry, dusty and hot in the fields,
but 1 haven't heard much com
plaining. After all, it's dam hard to
get good action on a bass plug when
it's leaving a trail in the mud.
Let's face it!

Recently Congress finally got around to allow all
Americans the advantage of tax sheltered pen
sion funds.
Now, if you're not already under a corporate or
self-employed pension fund you can put up to 15
percent or a maximum of $1500 a year in First
Federal's qualified IRA Plan. This would allow
you to defer (taxes) until retirement, which is a
real advantage, since most retired people are
under a much lower tax rate.
Remember the sooner you open your Individual
Retirement Savings Account, the earlier your
savings and the interest you earn become tax
exempt. See us soon for full details.
