It s Not the Color That Counts
The beginning „f spring —that time when the
horn’s of daylight become progressingly longer than
the hours of darkness—brings anglers out into the
open when nothing else will.
Warm weather affects fishermen like candy affects
a young child—they always want more. And it
seems as if warm weather is here to stay now as old
! while Wln ^ er prepares ^ ade ou t °f the scene for a
With the large amount of rain that has fallen
over Georgia during the past winter months,
lakes, rivers and streams are bursting at their
banks and as the weather gets warmer, fish will
begin their period of spawning.
In warmer temperature fish are more active, thus
requiring more food. This is the time when anglers
begm to take action as they strive to outsmart the
I wily fish enticing him to strike their inviting baits.
In plotting methods to assure a good eatch,
anglers think of every possible device to use.
; 1 hey try different types of lures as well as every
'* imaginable color, and use equipment ranging
from a cane pole to a spinning outfit.
QUESTION PUZZLES FISHERMEN
One controversial question that often arises
among fishermen is whether or not fish can dis
tinguish between colors. Can thy actually tell the
d™f r -t n n e m C0 4°u’ S J? f and if 80 what influence
does it have on theit striking?
j There are arguments pro and con on this question,
and many hours of research have gone into the
attempt to answer it.
In one test, colored flies were presented to a group
° f fi fh u . nder 8tad y- and it was found that the fish
would take equally well a red,.Tblue or green fly Color
had nothing to do with their striking the lure, but
the size oi the fly, the pattern and the life-like action

shade and they are looking from the shade into
sunlight.
Biologists agree that both sides of the issue are
correct. It seems that fish are color blind on a bright
day when their eyes are in the sun, and they are
looking into the sunlight. But, during the shadow

the brighter colors.
Whatever the answer, you can bet that anglers
will continuously plot better ways to catch fish and
increase their creel.
GOOD SEASON AHEAD
Several Georgia lakes and rivers have already
reported good fishing, and it will be better as the
weather continues to get warmer.
Reports from south Georgia show that Lake
Lake Blackshear, the Chattahoochee and
+'u in ^-/^ 1V fu :S are ^ es t fishing spots in this area
thus far this year. They may prove to be real “hot

ATLANTA — Sixty-five-year-old
veterans with wartime service need
only a ten percent disability based
on medical evidence to qualify for
a pension, Georgia Veterans Service
Director Pete Wheeler stated this
week.
The amount of the pension is de
termined by a scale based upon the
veterans other income. A pension
can also be denied if the veteran
has substantial capital assets.
Married veterans drawing social
security payments at the same time
will: not normally be seriously pen
alized on the amount of their pen
sion. If the social security and
bther income amounts to between
$1,000 and $2,000 a year a qualified
parried veteran will receive $75.00
month pension.
Single veterans without depend
ents, however, are limited to $70.00
per month if their social security
apd other income is between $600
and $1,200 a year, and to only $40.-
00 per month if their other income
is between $1,200 and $1,800.
The law does, however, exempt
from income that portion of social
security payments which the vete
ran has contributed to the program
himself. This normally means that
several months pass before the so
cial security payments count as in
come.
Veterans 60 through 64 years of
age require a disability of at least
50 percent to qualify for a pension,

It s spring again and if you’re looking for proof, we can suggest one
sure sign. The 1962 Tour of Homes and Gardens is already underway.
This annual event, sponsored by the Garden Club of Georgia and
local garden clubs, opens some of the loveliest private homes, gardens,
and historic buildings to public inspection and admiration.
Eleven communities are participating this year and among the new
comers is Thomson, Georgia. Taking its theme from the state organiza
tion, "Georgia In Living Color,” the Thomson Council of Garden Clubs,
is handling local arrangements.
High on the list of “musts” you see is “Hickory Hill,” home of the
late Senator Thomas E. Watson, father of Rural Free Delivery and
one time presidential candidate. The original estate covered nearly a
quaarant of Thomson. The present 20 acres abound with beautiful
trees and shrubs, many planted by Watson. For years, between No
vember 1 and March 1, he planted a tree or shrub every day.
Other homes on tour are "Pine Bloom,” colonial home of Mr. and
Mrs. E. E. Lokey. It was once featured in House beautiful magazine.
With its second story baloony and wrought iron railings, the John.
W. Wilson home suggests the flavor of old New Orleans.
Georgia peaches and fine houses are two products of Seymour Farm,
belonging to Mr. and Mrs. P. S. Knox, Jr.
The contemporary home of Dr. and Mrs. John Thomas was among
the first built on the original estate of Hickory Hill, and to complete
the homes tour is the contemporary house of Mr. and Mrs. Alien.!
Rimmer. U
Many gardens are to be seen, but visitors will particularly enjoy-
the countless camellias, fiftsei*, flowering cherry and other plants in the-
Lovelace Gardens. Also indlfnled are the Savannah River Valley Me
morial Garden and Dudley Nurseries.
Several churches round-out Thomson’s first Tour of Homes and
Gardens. Circle March 30 on your calendar and plan to go. The tour
lasts from 11:00 a.m. ’til 6:00 p.m.; tickets cost $1.60 and may be-
purchased in the Thomson City Hall. — by Sarah Conmb
