Tom Cooper and I brought new thrills to our fishing one day in mid-April. No, we didn't discover some new way to fish a plastic worm. We didn't develop a killing fly pattern for trout. We didn't sink eight thousand dollars into a new boat. In fact, we didn't do anything innovative whatsoever. What we did is get a bucketful of 'minnows and a handful of cane poles and go Ashing for crappies on an old millpond. I don't know about you, but it does my old heart a world of good to chunk all the modern con veniences from time to time and get back to basics. I'm as attracted as anyone else to any new fishing gadget, which explains why I have three rooms full of tackle; but there is a lot to be said for simple pleasures. As it turns out, we had excellent , luck with smallish crappies and both of us took renewed delight in watching the cork bounce a few times before sliding deliberately ? beneath the waves. Someone once wrote that there is no sight in all of nature so pretty as "the rings on the water where the cork was. ' If you're already a minnow and natural bait cane poler, you prob ably agree with that sentiment. If, on the other hand, your fishing has become more and more complicat ed in recent years, you're a prime candidate for reacceptance into the cane pole fraternity. There are lots of advantages. For example, my entire outfit ? pole, line, cork, hooks and split shot ? cost less than one good balsa crankbait. The minnow bucket was $1 .10 and three dozen minnows set me back an additional buck. Best of all, I could carry it all to the car in one hand. No 'fess up. How long has it been since you could do that? When we arrived at the lake, we launched a 12-foot jon-boat and soon located an old tree lap that looked like a dandy condominium for crappies. When I dropped my baited cork into the top or the lap, the cork never stopped going down . When fishing would slow down on one lap, Tom and I would find another one nearby. Within a couple of hours, we had 35 or 40 crappies. That evening, we filleted them into bite-size chunks, rolled them in Bisquick, and quickly fried them in hot oil. They fed six people, all of whom agreed that they were as tasty as any fish they had ever eaten. Tom and I both had to admit that the trip had been one of the most enjoyable we'd taken in years, but we re concerned about what this is going to do to our images. For example, we wonder what our comrades in the "Rainbow Camp, Steam Whisky, Bluegrass and Ace High Straight Apprecia tion Society * will think. When they're comparing exotic patterns of size 24 Tricorythodes flies, will they think us crass for mentioning that we prefer to hook our minnows through the lips? During heated discussions of the aesthetic beauties of natural split Tonkin cane flyrods. compared with the superior casting qualities of graphite, will our friends be amused when we admit that we prefer slender one-piece 14-foot cane poles to the more coarse jointed canes which cost more? Will they understand our pas sionate preference for real cork "corks," as opposed to plastic corks? Can they fully appreciate the comforting sound of a bucket of crickets chirping away on the bottom of a wooden skiff while you're drifting down an eastern black water river? Why should we worry? Of course they'll understand. Watershed , Inspector Targeted By Panel As Significant Needs The Hoke County Rural De velopment Panel, a 16-member body representing the U.S. Depart ment of Agriculture and the public service agencies within the county, named the construction of a water shed and the hiring of a building inspector as two important needs during their last meeting. April 26. Family Dollar Names Buyer Family Dollar Stores, Inc. ? (AMEX symbol FDO), has an nounced the addition of Len Lan dry to its buying staff, according to . an announcement made by Lewis E. Levine, executive vice-president. Landry is a native of Houston, Tex. Prior to joining Family Dollar Stores, he was associated for 12 years with a large, publicly-held discount chain. AROUND TOWN (Continued from Page 1) for office, and maybe you can see how the officials feel that are sitting at the table and trying to keep their minds open to give the right decisions. This isn t always done, but most of the time the officials think so. Just another sermon, so say amen Morris. ? ? ? Dear Mr. Morris: Just a word of correction re garding the class of 1962 reunion picture in last week's edition. It appeared as if all the ladies were listed by their married names except for myself. No harm done -? but since I was the winner of the sag gift of Geritol for the largest family (6) and having had my marriage certificate longer than my diploma (almost 18 years), just wanted to let others not present know that I am still Patsy Irion Miller Mrs. James O. Miller Many thanks." y -j Willie Featherstone Jr.. the pan el's unofficial chairman, said the group feels a watershed would serve a two-fold purpose - an abundant supply of water would be a lure to industry and the site could be used for recreation. The group agreed that any sources of federal or state funds for such a project should be explored. The panel endorsed the idea of a building inspector and noted that the county presently has only an inspector for electrical, plumbing and heating and air conditioning work. Featherstone said he feels that the lack of an inspector might encourage outside builders to come into the county and do inferior work and this may contribute to a rise in sub-standard construction. The panel also endorsed three other projects, the planting of azaleas on the median strip along N. Main St., a pavillion or band stand for concerts and entertain ment and public restrooms in the downtown area.
