MRS. MARY JAY IS GONE
Students at Newton County High were saddened Friday
when it was learned that Mrs. Mary Jay had died Thursday
night at Georgia Baptist Hospital. She had been very ill
about a year ago but had recovered sufficiently and resumed
her work as director of girls physical education at NCHS.
Her last trip as chaperone for the girls basketball team was
to the state tournament at Fitzgerald in March.
For eight years she had commanded the respect of girls
and boys and was most certainly beloved by the students
and. adults alike. She leaves hundreds of friends here in
Newton County.
Manager Larry Parnell of the Mansfield Red Sox (Major
League) has joined forces with the Life of Georgia Insurance
Co. here in Covington. Joe Marks, former pilot of the Mans
field team, will take over the club for a couple of weeks.
Crackers Return to Poncey June Bth
Atlanta Crackers will be on the road through Thursday,
June 7. On the Bth they will return to Ponce de Leon Park
to meet the Columbus team in a four-game series. That will
inaugurate a homestand that will extend through June 19th.

GIRL TROUBLE?
Beware, men, we’re rapidly on the way to losing our one
remaining sanctum sanctorum-
For years now the insidious forces of womanhood have
been infiltrating our areas of retreat. Remember when our
saloons became cocktail lounges, and gals started occupy
ing them? Well, it happened.
And the racing game, long a racket that belonged to
man alone, now bothered by the chattering companionship
of female-type women. They are driving racing automobiles,
motorcycles and boats, and beating lots of men in the pro
cess. It’s a sobering spectacle.
The same is true of barbershops, where in days of old
men gathered to sing and enjoy the companionship without
being bothered. Now, however, women by the hundreds are
going to “our” barbershops to have their hair cut.
The one area that remained aloof, long after the others
had succumbed, was fishing, where slimy bait and difficult
casting reels defied the advanced of femininity, the fishing
men at Mercury outboards report.
But now even that is going by the board. The invention
of the American closed face spinning reel made the most
fumbling female an expert caster. The development of feath
erweight canoes and cartop boats that can be launched and
delaunched as easily as falling off a log made boating avail
able to the most willowy participant.
Then Mercury outboards developed lightweight motors
that can be transported easily, clamped on a transom with
a minimum of effort, and operated safetly by the most in
expert gal.
So what happened? You can tell, by counting female
noses at almost any fishing dock in the country- “Our” sport
has been adopted.
There's only one answer, men. We can’t whip ’em, so
join ’em. Take your wife fishing the next time you go.
And you know, you just might enjoy it!

Bream Fishing
Reported Good
At Jackson Lake
By Bob Short
Most people think the hunt
ing season is over, but it isn’t.
For example, crow hunting in
the spring and summer is bet
ter than at any other time of
year.
The “regular” hunting season
closed on Feb. 25, except for
spring gobbler hunts. Quail,
rabbits and other farm game
were the apple of the hunter’s
eye until closing day.
But now sportsmen can keep
their shooting eye in shape and
enjoy a sport by hunting such
varmins as bobcats, nutria, bea
> vers, skunk, flying squirrels,
crows, hawks, owls, mice, bats
and other unprotected animals.
Caution: Be sure to have a
hunting license and don’t pos
sess ammunition capable of tak
ing a deer or turkey.
For those who prefer not to
spend their time hunting, fish
ing is improving and should get
better within the next few
| weeks.
Best fishing spot in the state
, currently is Lake Blackshear,
। where anglers are taking nice
i strings of bass, bream and crap
pie.
At Allatoona, bass are strik
, ing and crappie fishing is pret-
Ity fair while at Blue Ridge,
i bass and walleyes continue to
keep anglers busy and smil
i ing.
Lake Burton offers some good
bass and crappie fishing in full
and clear water (it’s been low
almost all year) and a Lake
Jackson, fishing is good for
bream, fair for bass and crap-
I pie-
Black, plastic worms and liz
ards are taking bass at Lanier.
At Seminole, bass, bream and
crappie fishing is improving
steadily. Lake Sinclair anglers
are taking nice strings of crap-
Ipie and bass.

Chamblee Forfeits Football Game
To Rams; Used Ineligible Player
Newton County High School
officials have been notified
that Chamblee High has un
covered information that they
used an ineligible player in
their 13-0 victory over New
ton County Rams last October
6th and therefore they (Cham
blee) have forfeited the game
to NCHS.
With this latest development
Newton’s 1961 record will be
corrected to read: 7 victories
and 3 defeats instead of a 6-
4 slate.
Howell C. Martin, Principal
of Chamblee, informed NCHS
that the Rams can “count the
game as a victory on the basis
of a forfeit.” Chamblee used
an ineligible halfback, L. C.
Ferrell in the game here in
Covington.
The unfortunate mix u p
came about as a result of a
birth certificate for the Fer
rell boy. He was born in Rich
mond, Va. and was 19 years of

Coach Milton McLaney on
Monday ran some of the
school's film of the game and
it showed that Ferrell was the
outstanding ground-gainer of
the Chamblee team. He scored
one of the two touchdowns and
was continually a thorn in the
side of the Rams in the game.
His punting and passing was
also excellent in the game.
Coach McLaney added.

It's Not the Color That Counts
The beginning of spring — that time when the
hours of daylight become progressingly longer than
the hours of darkness—brings anglers out into ths
open when nothing else will.
Wann 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
man winter prepares to fade out of the scene for a
while.
With the large amount of rain that has fallen
over Georgia during the past winter months,
lakes, rivers and streams are bursting at their
hanks, 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
begin to take action as they strive to outsmart the
wily fish enticing him to strike their inviting baits.
In plotting methods to assure a good catch,
anglers think of every possible device to use.
They 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
difference in colors of bait and if so what influence
does it have on their striking?
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
of fish under study, and it was found that the fish
would take equally well a red, blue or green fly. Color
had nothing to do with their striking the lure, but
the size of the fly, the pattern and the life-like action
it cast in the water seemed to be the determining
factors.
However, other experiments have proved that
fish can distinguish color if their eyes are in the
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
hours of the day, they seem to be able to distinguish
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
’eminole. Lake Blackshear, the Chattahoochee and
Hint Rjvers are the best fishing spots in this area
thus far this year. They may prove to be real “hot
spots later in the spring.
And, in north Georgia several lakes including Sin-
^ ir > Nottley, Allatoona, Lanier, Weiss, Burton and
Blue Ridge have been turning in some mighty favor
able reports. Predictions are that these will be top
spots for fishing this season. r
