T H E D I L L O N E X A M I N E R |By JIM RHODYI No Wasted Time One of the hardest things an avid hunter or fisherman has to face is the lack of activity engendered by bad weather or improper stream conditions.

BROADW A Y A N D M A IN STR E E T 'Dear Old Golden Rule Days/ Help Resolve Labor Difficulty ------------------------ — By BILLY ROSE — ---------------- ----- The following story was passed on to me by one of the field men of the national labor relations board. I'm running it, not be cause I’m jumble-brained enough to think it proves anything, but because it’s an interesting yam. If you find any moral or mess'age in it—well, remember you’re strictly on your own. . . . In December of 1947, a strike was called in a textile plant in New England, and when the picket lines first appeared everybody thought they were only part of the usual bluff and bluster that went withj contract-re newal time. But as the days added up to weeks and the weeks to months, and ApriKseem so far away as to be entirely visionary, the sports man is hard put to find anything to interest him or anything to oc cupy his time. It seems an interminable wait between monthly issues of the out door magazine. Tackle and equip ment manufacturers haven’t issued their alluring new catalogues yet and it seems there is absolutely nothing to do. , But there is, for here is the op portunity and the time—if properly employed — when the sportsman The strike, as far as anyone could make out, had nothing to do with wages and work- ' é These periods present the op portunity, too, to clean that gun which has been neglected. can take steps that will insure him many happier hours afield or on the stream. During the long evenings there is time to get rods and reels in order and to check lines, go over the tackle box and fly book to de termine the need for new lures, and, in general, plan the coming season’s campaign. These periods present the op portunity, too, to clean that gun which has been neglected, to chart future trips afield as the open sea sons wane and to get special shoot ing equipment in shape for early spring forays after ‘‘varmints.’’ It is an old adage that acquiring new equipment is a major factor in the enjoyment a man gets from hunting and fishing—and there is an almost equally great satisfac tion in keeping that equipment in good operating condition. To the sportsman, there are few exasperations that can match that of a reel breaking down on a fishing trip, a ferrule loosing on a fly rod, or a casting line breaking just when a good fish is well-hooked. These are some of the things that can be prevented by the sportsman who gainfully occupies the dead-of-win- ter months by seeing that his equip ment is maintained in the best pos sible conditions. A A A Game laws are made to protect your property. Respect and obey them as every good citizen does. A A A Firebug Facts Here are some pointers for the inveterate \firebug” who isn’t hap py unless he can start a forest fire somewhere: Before going into the woods, he should notify the nearest forest ranger of-the address of his next of kin in case he gets trapped in his own fire. He should tell millions of duck hunters to stay home and shoot at cans and bottles, for waterfowl won’t nest and breed in foodless, fire-scarred mudholes. He should tell the fishermen, too, that he is doing his best to shrivel their bass streams to dust. He should notify all citizens hop ing to have new homes soon that he is burning up their lumber sup ply, so they might as well be pre pared to wait awhile longer. He should tell resort owners to seek some other business, as he’s intent upon destroying their’s by burning up the woods and forests that attract the vacationers. And, last, he should make a will, bequeathing to posterity and his own children, blackened hillsides, disemboweled farmlands, devas tating floods and a wildlife black out. These recommendations come from one who has had long experi ence with the \firebug” type of outdoorsman. They were written by Richard H. D. Boerker, retired Missouri forester. A A A Lake Trout Lake trout is the fresh water fish that is most like \deep sea” fish. They have a desire for the deeper waters of the lake and thus taking them has some similarity to the long-line fishing necessitated by those fishing in salt water. There are a few weeks each spring and fall when the lake trout will take surface lures, but the op posite is generally the rule. A sal mon spoon is a good lure for lake trout Billy Bose ing conditions, but seemed to be based on the in ability of labor a n d manage ment to sit at the same table without throw ing four - letter words at each other. A l b e r t Hanson, presi dent of the textile company, had one meeting with Burt Murphy, re cently elected head of the union; but after a few minutes of invective and table-thumping, both men had stomped out and from then on had refused to talk to each other except through local headlines. And when a national labor relations man had offered his services as mediator, he had been told to peddle his pa pers elsewhere. • • • TO A FEW insiders, however, the animosity between Hanson and Murphy was nothing new; in fact, it had been going on since they were kids in a village 60 miles north of the mill town. They had competed for the same position on the school baseball team (Albert had gotten it), and pulled the pigtails of the same junior miss (Burt had mar^ ried her). And they had continued to cat-and-dog it during the years when Hanson was fighting his way up from salesman to plant presi dent and Murphy was organizing the workers. One day, as the strike was go ing into its fourth month, the textile man got a note from old schoolteacher. \Dear Albert/’ it read, \ l , haven’t seen you in al most 40 years, and I’d appreciate it if you would come by the schoolhouse at 10. Sincerely, Anne Peck,” Hanson chuckled at the precise, schoolmarmish handwriting, but he remembered the old lady kindly, and so on Saturday he got up early and drove the 60 miles to his home town. The schoolhouse looked much as he remembered it, and so did the room inside with its neat rows of desks. But the thing that hit him right in the nostalgia was the sight of Miss Peck herself, still sitting behind her desk on the raised plat form in front of the blackboard. “ It’s been a long time, Albert,\ she said. “ Not so long as I thought,” said her old pupil. \Let’s see. Seems I used to sit right over there.” He walked to a desk near the window and wedged his bulk Into the seat. “ That’s right,” said Miss Peck. “ Helen Brennon used to sit in front of you and Burt Murphy had the desk on your right. Now, just ex cuse me until I finish correcting this paper.” J t t L B e a u t i f u l G a t e TO O , have sat a t the Beautiful G ate O f the tem p le, asking alms, Begging for p altry copper coins T o be tossed to my o u t-ftretched palms.

FIVE MINUTES later, Burt Mur phy walked in. There was a grin on his face, but when he saw the tex tile man he stopped smiling. “ I’ m glad you got my note and could come,” said Miss Peck. “ Do you remember where you used to sit?” \What’s this all about?\ asked the union boss. The old lady looked at him over her glasses. \If you’ll take rOUNG EBEN CLIFFORD drew A rein and studied the broad val ley of thè Hoosick at hjs feet. An hour ¿go he had abandoned the trail made by his predecessors on their ride from Bennington to Al bany, and skirted the western shoulder of Mount Anthony. If In dians were wait ing to a m b u s h h i m, Eben felt sure they would choose the Hoo sick. It offered a means of escape, should the mail rider by any chance be accompa nied by an escort. Eben felt once more of the leather pouch that was tied behind the sad dle. Contained therein was a dis patch of the utmost importance for Gen. Newton at Albany. Col. Albee of the Bennington garrison had called Eben aside that morning. “ No one is supposed to know you’re carrying the papers, Eben. An escort would only excite suspi cion. You must go alone. There is, of course, the possibility that Bon- ney, the white renegade, and his Indian cutthroats, have learned what I’m up to. In any event, if you’re attacked, destroy the pa pers.” He sat for a long time study ing the valley without moving. A curious sense of excitement stirred his blood. Without know ing why, he sensed danger. A minute later he glimpsed a column of smoke rising from the summit of a hill across the valley. A signal fire! They had sighted him. Eben sucked in his breath. Well, his chances of getting through were pretty slim now. There was He kept to the high ground for an hour, watching the smoke signal. only one ford in the Hoosick that was accessible at this time of year. They’d never let him cross it. The sensible thing to do was turn back and insist upon an escort. A thin smile played across his lips. Sensible, but not advisable. Eben explored the river for half • mile in both directions, then urged his mount into the stream. T HE WATER WAS ICY, breath taking. In another moment the horse's legs went out from under Mm, and the swift current was car rying them rapidly down stream. Eben did all he could to help the noble beast in its fight to reach the opposite shore. He was begin ning to think he had underesti mated the strength of the current, when they struck a sandbar. The horse floundered, nearly lost its footing, then gripped hard and held. Eben breathed a sigh of re lief. After a momentary pause he urged the beast toward the west bank. Ten feet from his goal he drew rein sharply. A loose stone had come tumbling down from the high bank. Eben sat very still, his heart pounding. A feathered bonnet showed above the embankment. He tried frantically to get his mount toward the east bank, but the river sheared off there; the strength of the current was against him. The Indians were running along the bank, howling and screaming their triumph. In an other moment he’d be swept against the high west bank and they’d be upon him. Remembering Col. Albee’s in structions, Eben unwrapped the leather mail pouch, gripped it tight ly and flung himself from the back of the floundering horse. Instantly water swept over his head. He swam as long and as far as he could beneath the surface. Then he bobbed into view and a sense of dismay sent his heart downward. He was within three feet of the west bank. A leering Indian was reaching out toward him. Dimly, as he went under again, Eben heard a chorus of wild shouts. He was far below the spot where the Indian had stood, but equally as close to the bank. To his amazement there were two soldiers standing there yelling and gesticulating. One of them was Gen. Newton.' The sound of gunfire came from upriver. “ Thought you might have seen their smoke signal and realized they had sighted us,” Gen. Newton was saying. “ Figured Bonney would be up to something, so I led a detachment out to meet you.” Eben sank to the ground. It was good to rest. i r neciAin D ] ] LAST WEEK’S J UùùWU L L ANSWER ^ . ACROSS 1. Charges for services 5. Old measures v (length) 9. Girl’s name 10. Encounter 11. A. ball 12. Medieval stories 14.

Do you remember how it was with you two in the old days? Most of the time you were pretty good friends, but every now and then you’d get into an argument and make so much noise that none of the other pupils could do any work “ And when you did, I’d just stop the class, make you stand up, and tell you to go outside and not come back until you had straightened things out. Sometimes you’d go out in the woods and settle it with your fists, and other times you’d go down to the brook, sit on the bank and talk it out, but you'd always come back smiling. Stand up, you two.” The two men got to their feet and walked out of the room. “ You heard what the teacher said,” said the labor leader. “ Do we go into the woods and slug it out?” \You always had a pretty good left,” said the textile boss. \How about letting a conciliation board settle our argument?” “Fair enough,” said Murphy, “but I still want to play first base.” “ All right, if you’ll keep away from Helen Brennon.\ . \Seeing as how she’s my wife,” said Murphy,, “ that’s going to be tough. But if you’re still stuck on the girl, drop around tonight and I’ll get her to fry up an extra chop.” Then the two men walked back into the schoolhouse to report. 1 E3SCRE B By INEZ GERHARD ARBARA STANWYCK, whose latest release is \Thelma Jor dan,” is going to team up with Robert Siodmark, its director, to do something which should have been done long ago. They will film the world’s greatest short stories, in featurettes that will run BARBARA STANWYCK about 25 minutes. \Some of Holly wood’s top stars are interested in appearing in them,” said Siod mark, “ as an experiment in hand ling roles vastly different from the assignments they get in feature films.” Some of the world’s best literature. is in the short story form; filmed as they should be, as shorts, they can substitute for a second feature on double bills. Ben Grauer, whose first film for the U.S. Bureau of Census will- be used to prepare census takers for the work that begins April 1, has completed two additional films. His first training film was reviewed in Washington by the Bureau’s top executives, who requested supple mentary films to present other as pects of census-taking.
