Is Sport
Worth It?
The delights of the sportsman
are too numerous to list. Every
person who reads this message
knows what it means to take a
a trout or kill a bass ... to flush
a covey of quail ... to bring down
a deer ... to hear a hound bay
at the tree ... he understands
the deep pleasure of the woods
. . . the zest of camping beside a
clear stream ... the earthy joy
of tramping the fields.
But nature does not always stay
in balance.
Through all the ages, man in
his migrations westward has
left .a blight on many of the
earth’s most fertile areas . . .
Lands and streams once teem
ing with nature’s gifts have
been made barren by man.
When nature ceases to be in
balance we can no longer have
the beauties of nature—nor fish,
nor game, nor trees . . . not even
water to drink or use for power.
Often. we cannot survive except
by moving on.
Only recently have we become
aware of the need for restoration
and replenishment . . . soil con
servation . . . forest and flood
control . . . vigilance against the
pollution of our rivers . . . breed
ing and feeding grounds for fish,
flesh and fowl. On these billions
of dollars have been spent. Much
more remains to be done.
It is all worth it!

Stone Heads Forestry
In Southern Region
J. Herbert Stone has assumed duties as Regional Forester
of the Southern Region, U. S. Forest Service, succeeding
Joseph C. Kircher, who had held the post since the estab
lishment of the Region in 1934. Kircher is now stationed in
Germany as Forest Control Officer of the American Military
Government.
Stone, who last was stationed
as director of the Central States
Experiment Station in Columbus,
Ohio, has been with the Forest
Service since 1927, the year in
which he received his Master of
Forestry Degree from Yale Uni
versity. . He previously has served
in the South as assistant super
visor of the Cherokee National
Forest in Tennessee, and as super
visor of the Nantahala and Pis-
gah National Forests in North
Carolina.
As regional forester, Stone will
be in charge of administration of
activities on the 26 National For
ests in 11 southern states from
North Carolina through Texas.
These enterprises include timber,
wildlife and range management;
watershed protection, fire control,
recreation, road and trail develop
ment and maintenance, special
land use, and acquisition. The
Government-owned lands in the
Southern National Forests now in
clude about nine million acres
from which were cut 393 million
board feet in 1945.
Stone also will be responsible
for Forest Service cooperative
work with state, federal and pri
vate agencies in the region.
Through congressional legislation,
the federal agency is authorized
to cooperate in state and private
forest fire control, timberland
management and marketing ad
vice, and the production of forest
tree seedlings for planting on
farm woodlands. At the request
of the AAA, the Regional Forester
also administers the Naval Stores
conservation program.

MOREHEAD CITY, N. C.—A
30-pound cabio was taken on a
handline by an unidentified sports
man stillfishing near the Atlantic

The cabio, also known as ser
geant-fish, black salmon and other
names, is occasionally taken in
these waters by sportsmen going
after cero and channel bass, ac
cording to Aycock Brown. World’s
record is an 84-pounder, but the
usual size around here is from 10
to 15 pounds.

“One of the greatest days I
ever had on a trout stream,” the
famous scribe-angler remarked.
Oh, yes! He frequently consulted
his “Solunar Tables,” and swears
by them.
He was seconded by Mike Hu-
doba, whose Washington column
for Sports Afield is the most in
formative reaching sportsmen over
the country. Mike himself tied
into some big boys and hauled
them in.
They were part of a group of
outdoor writers who invaded Geor

were attending the Tennessee Val

RANDOM CASTS
Salt-water sportsmen are finding
their way back to Southport, N.
C., with the reappearance there
of party boats, absent during the
war. . . . Ray Camp, N. Y. Times
rod and gunner, was due in Man-
teo, N. C., this month for his first
offering to channel bass since be
fore the war. . . . Stops booked
for Camp included Oregon Inlet,
Hatteras and Ocracoke. . . . W. K.
(Pepper) Martin, of Columbia, S.
C., used a Johnson spoon and
porkrind last week to take four
bigmouths totaling 22 pounds
from Potato Creek, near Manning.
. . . Martin’s largest fish weighed
7 pounds, 2 ounces. . . . Eddie
Finlay, heavy-hitting sports edi
tor of the Columbia, S. C., Record,
devoted nearly seven full columns
of a recent issue to fishing and
conservation. . . . Eddie, who takes
fishing as his No. 1 sport, has
opened a “Sportsmen’s Corner” to
his readers and is inviting com
ment and questions. . . . South
Carolina and Georgia still are
missing out on the offshore fish
ing, leaving the bait to be taken
by North Carolina and Florida.
. . . Coast Guardsmen on patrol
during the war say the fishing is
just as good off the S. C.-Ga.
coast. . . . We wonder who will
start the boats to moving, and
how much longer these states will
wait before encouraging develop
ment of salt water fishing.

Voigt Makes Tour
Of South Carolina
COLUMBIA, S. C.—Bill Voigt,
assistant executive secretary of
the Izaak Walton League, spent
several days in South Carolina
this month visiting various con
servation groups in the state and
explaining the program of the or
ganization.
He was the guest of the Rich
land County (Columbia) chapter
of the league and visited fish and
game association groups in Green
wood, Cheraw and Orangeburg.
There has been considerable agi
tation, as yet largely unorganized,
in the state for better enforce
ment of the game and fish laws
and for some change in the state
system, which provides for the se
lection of wardens either in the
general election or by legislative
delegation appointment.
