Cauif Proledor
By R. CORNWELL
Monticello, Ga.
If you haven't tried your luck at
winter fishing on Jackson lake you
are not getting your share of the
very finest game fish. Black bass
has been striking artificial bait very
well considering the muddy water
and the live bait fishermen are
catching all the fish they want.
In the old days we always called
;the local bass, “trout." We find
there are no true trout in this sec
tion as the water gets too warm
for them. Our trout is really the
big mouth black bass, and there is
no gamer fish anywhere.
Another popular fish Is the crap
pie, or as sometimes called white
perch or spotted perch. This fish
probably grows larger in Jackson
lake than any other lake in the
country. Crappie are often caught
here that weigh 4’i pounds and
three pounders are common. In
Florida where they are oommon,
they seldom weigh more than three
pounds and north of this section
they are only considered small pan
fl'h. This fish belongs to the bass
but not many of the local fisher
men have learned how to fish this
wav. No better eating fish can be
found than the crappie and they
ar° easy to catch now with live bait.
Another fish easy to catch is the
jack. The local jack fish is a long,
snouted member of the pike fam
ily. The jack is not as game as the
bass or as good as the crappie, but
he Is easy to catch on a rough day
when other fish will not strike.
Jackson lake is crammed full of
tham.
Between now and the closed sea
son is the time to catch these fish.
Several fish caught lately were full
of well matured eggs. This would
indicate an early spawning season
which would make the game fish
strike much better.
On January 16, the annual water
fowl census was mads by the federal
B"reau of Bilogical Survey. On
this day State game officials, of
ficers of the Forest Service, the Soil
Conservation Service, the Army,
Navy, Coast, Guard, other Federal
a J State officers and a corps of
specially selected volunteer observ
ers made a careful estimate of the
ducks, geese and swan In their re
spective areas. Of course it is im
possible to count the ducks but a
very accurate estimate is obtained.
On a given day each year nearly
every duck lake is visited in
country as well as Mexico and Can
ada and by comparing results
former years any increase or
crease can be seen.

Tomorrow this may be YOUR child! ]
i
The strong young boy, or the healthy little girl that
waved to you as you left home this morning, may be the j
next victim of infantile paralysis.
It’s a DREADFUL THOUGHT.
One to put aside — but not with a slirug.
It CAN happen to you!
That is why it is so important that every Georgian
do his share in the drive for funds to fight infantile paralysis
January 30, on the President’s birthday.
The crutches and braces of this beautiful child
are a plea to YOU. They represent suffering — but worst
of all, hopelessness.
Infantile paralysis is not a disease of a far-off coun
try, ot state. The recent epidemic in Tattnall and Candler
counties, the increasing number of cases reported to the
I Georgia Board of Health, prove that.
Let’s give, so that medical science can find the cause
of the menace, thus bringing about a prevention,
Let’s help our county chairman raise money by local
celebrations on the President’s birthday.
Let’s buy a button.
Let’s HELP!
Livestock need protection from
rough weather. Even breeder cat
tle and yearlings should have shel
ter from cold rains and hard winter
winds.

Letters To
Old Man Folks-
By Jim Pollywogr
The road to happiness Is paved
with gold,
Leads through the wilderness, I’m
told;
Over many mountains to a troubled
sea,—
And yet, ’twas builded for you and
me!
Across the Morn of a perfect day,
,
Through long deep valleys where
tempters play;
And on and on to rest with the sun,
Where a long perfect day is just
begun!
Dear Old Man Folks:
There is one thing all of us ought
to know'—nobody can take a
road to Happiness of the gol stand
ard! The way you feel now you
may doubt this road being paved
with anything more precious than
mud. But if you’ll stop and check
up a bit, I believe you'll find that
it's you and not the road that Isn’t
gold.
Mayhaps you have been told that
the road to Happiness is a narrow
road and with only here and there
a traveler, and that each traveler
was weary and heavy laden, pegging
along as if—as if he’d never make
it to the end! But If you will look
closely you will find nothing at all
the matter with the road; it’s nei
ther too narrow nor paved with
mud! The road is perfect gold and
it leads to Happiness.
Here, Folks—I am asking you to
stop again and take a look at the
traveler! Isn’t It a fact that his
golden road has turned to mud.be
cause—because he is trudging along
with so many things he has no need
for tor carrvine- carrying, sometnmg something nobody noway
would have need for should this
traveler ever get to the end of the
way with _. ith them. fhpm ,
I have been told that the law
