‘Uncle’ Moise Kaplan Dies;
Authored Book on Fishing
Once there was a man in At
lanta with a manuscript about
deep sea fishing and he wanted
the services of a professional
writer.
So, he contacted a young re
porter on the Atlanta Journal
editorial staff about giving the
manuscript a quick going-over.
Just to see that commas and
semi-colons were in the right
places and the subjects had
proper numerical verbs, the man
said.
It sounded like a job for a
proof-reader and not for a cre
ative writer. But the time was
on the fringe of the depression
and any prospect of a few extra
buoks made even such an as
signment worth while to a strug
gling journalist.
The main reason, the author-
to-be selected the Atlanta Jour
nal reporter was, he said, be
cause he wanted a person who
had never gone fishing. In this
way, there would be no projec-
tiim of different views into the
manuscript on' deep sea game
fishing.
No person in those days could
have had any fewer ideas about
deep sea fishing or been more
removed from any tinge of being
a fisherman than Adolph Rosen
berg and so the shiddach was
arranged.
The reward of the set-up
proved not to be the few bucks
paid for the job but the great
pleasure of getting to know

and rare individual.
Mr. Kaplan was interested not
only in having the manuscript
checked for grammatical mis
takes and accuracy. He engaged
in voluminous correspondence
and personal visits with author
ities in the U. S. Department of
Fisheries in Washington to see
that all his scientific data were
correct.
Then the historical facts were
researched and checked out.
The book turned out as a mag
nificently prepared volume with
color plates—rare for the mid-
Thirties, marvelous charts scien
tific and legendary as befitted
the esoteric world of the imagi
native fishermen, thick and
beautifully printed and illustrat-
ed. ’ ' -
Moise Kaplan’s "Big Game
Fishermen’s Paradise” never be
came a best seller, It wasn’t that
kind of book. It nevertheless
proved quickly to be an author
itative work in the field. Sports
men and businessmen, provided
you can distinguish between 1 the
two, amateur and professionals
alike found the material en
chanting and worthwhile, often
with practical ideas and sug
gestions. Certainly it placed into
graphics much that existed in
folklore and legend and for this
reason the book has literary
merit even. It was a boast for
the rapidly expanding world of
deep sea fishing. Especially in
, Florida.
How it happened that this At
lantan authored the book is quite
a story.
The beginning was perhaps in
the mid-Twenties, when he and
his young wife Florence moved
to Miami to make their home
and engage in real estate busi
ness.
Things looked up until the
mid-Nineteen Twenties. Then
the real estate bubble burst and
in 1925 a terrible hurricane
shook the daylights out of the
apartment where the Kaplans
were living and killed so many
people in the Miami vicinity the
exact number never became
known.

Mr. Korn was a native of Po
land and had lived in Savannah
for the past 67 years. He was a
retired owner of Savannah Shoe
Hospital, a member of Congre
gation B’nai B’rith Jacbb and
of the Workman’s Circle.

Mrs. Celia Gertman Korn; two
stepdaughters, Mrs. Dorothy Mas-

"We peeked up our trunks and
came beck to Atlanta,” Mrs.
Kaplan once reminisced.
Mr. Kaplan entered the in
surance business and did quite
well. He found that his hobby,
deep sea fishing furnished a
fascinating sports ground for en
tertaining and signing up policy
prospects. Many insurance peo
ple find the golf links an af
fable place for such matters.
Certainly a golf course is more
ubiquitous but hardly aa glam-
rous as deep sea fishing.
Apparently the idea worked
well and Mr. Kaplan flourished
in his work, qualifying for the
Million Dollar Round Table on
numerous occasions.
As he moved into the 1930s,
he decided to place his experi
ences and observations on fish-

tag into a small pamphlet. It
was gobbled up by the Florida
State Chamber of Commerce. A
reprint at state expense was
exhausted. They asked him to
expand the initial work into a
larger work. This is how the idea
of the book was initiated and
grew.
It is recorded somewhere that
for every hour spent fishing, an
extra hour is added to a per
son’s life.
And so it seemed tor Moise
Kaplan. He had the very spec
ial flair of making people feel
uplifted and blithe against the
gloom of everyday problems.
This special knack he used to
good purposes, as for instance
the creation of a Korean War
Orphanage and other worthwhile
efforts. The Jewish Home in At
lanta waa a special project of his
and he left them a bequest that
will help in the current building
program. ’ - - i

“A -complete deal package” is
the theme for the newly reor
ganized car agency known as
Neal Pope Ford in DeKalb
County.
Mr. Pope has taken over the
former Vego Ford at 4051 Bu
ford Highway and set out from
top to bottom to change things
for upgrading the standard for
customers all the way around.
This means, he says, that
through redecoration, remodeling
and reorganization of both fa
cilities, staff and officers we can
achieve a higher degree of sat
isfaction in sales and service.
Mr. Pope grew up in DeKalb
County and attended Decatur
Boys’ High, Armstrong Junior
College in Savannah and Mercer
University in Macon. He is ac
tive in the Civitans of Decatur
and prominent in the Avondale
Sports Association. A U. S. Navy
veteran, he and his family, in
cluding two sons, live in De
Kalb.
He has been associated with
Ford agencies for seventeen
yeans, having been identified
with a metropolitan Atlanta firm
before acquiring the Vego agen
cy. He has won national rec
ognition on several occasions
and attended various training
schools for the lines of auto
mobiles his firm specializes in.
He has made these staff as
signments to broaden the scope
of the new agency by bringing
qualified personnel to the agen
cy: Horace S. Hitchcock, secre
tary-treasurer; Bill Skinner,
