Good Fishermen
Are Scientists
The billiard player who can
call and make his shots is uni
versally admired for his skills.
But the fellow who can
score regularly with a rod and
reel seldom earns the same ac
claim. Yet, Mercury outboard
fishing experts maintain this
guy not only can match the cue
handler in terms of skills and
experience, but he also possess
es the analytical attitude of a
scientist wihen engaged in his
piscatorial angling pursuits.
If you aspire to the lofty
levels of the experts, you’ll
have to approach the subject
with an intense desire to learn
the habits of your quarry in a
limited number of frequently
visited waters.
Your primary tool is a note
book or an acute memory, as
is often the case with many
fine fishermen.
Your other tools will include
thermometers to measure tem
peratures of water and air, a
barometer, a keen sense of ob
servation and a bit of scholar
ly briefing on the personal
habits of each fish you seek.
You’ll discover how many
days at certain water tempera
tures are required before
spawning activities commence
or an insect hatch comes off,
at what temperatures fish ap
petites are sharp, and how
many days of a certain air
temperature are needed to
bring water temperatures to
productive levels.
You’ll learn how high and
low barometric pressures in
relation to storm fronts affect
feeding habits on a certain
pond or stream, how rainfall
and rising water levels en
courage or discourage strikes.
After a period of probing
and recording, usually years,
say the Mercury outboard peo
ple, your observations will fall
into a meaningful pattern.
You’ll discover a correlation of
factors that’ll enable you to

Physical Fitness
2-Day Program in
Atlanta Mar. 21-22
Over 400 high school principal#
and coaches, as well as physicians,
from every county in Georgia, are
expected in Atlanta on March 21
and 22 for the first "Physical Fit
ness — Georgiatown, U. S. A.
program.
Sponsored jointly by the Fulton
County (Atlanta) Medical Society
and the Atlanta Public Schools,
the 2-day program is a "clinic'*
for physicians, coaches and teach
ers interested in improving the
seriously declining physical fitness
standard of Georgia school - age
citizens. The courtesy, cooperation
and assistance of the Georgia
State Agricultural Commodities
Commission on Milk also has
made this program possible on a
state-wide basis.
A series of outstanding physical
fitness leaders from all over the
nation will be in Atlanta to ad
dress the assembled group during
the seminar. These include Mr.
Zollie Maynard. Consultant for
Health and Physical Education,
U. S. Department of Health, Edu
cation and Welfare, Washington,
D. C.; Dr. Joseph Wolffe, M. D.,
Medical Director of Valley Forge
Heart Hospital and Medical Cen
ter, Norristown, Pennsylvania. Dr.
Wolffe is also Past President of
the American College of Sport#
Medicine.
Also in Atlanta to address the
"Physical Fitness — Georgiatown,
U. S. A.” gathering will be Mr.
Robert Hoffman, President of the
Hoffman Foundation and holder
of such titles as "World's Heal
thiest Man” and "Mr. Physical
Fitness”. Mr. Hoffman is winner
of over 600 athletic trophies.
Other guest speakers will in

fessional football team as well an
Athletic Director of the Coving
ton (Ga.) Boy Scout Camp, and

The Georgia State Agricultural
Commodities Commission on Milk
is sponsoring Dr. Dolton.
Dr. Fred Allman, Chairman of
this "Physical Fitness — Georgia
town, U. S. A." program for the
Fulton County Medical Society
said:
"In other states, where simi
lar programs have been Instigated,
the physicians, teachers and
coaches returning to their local
communities after attending such
a seminar as "Physical Fitness —
Georgiatown, U. S. A.” have
formed a leadership nucleus in
building a program of greatly im
proved physical fitness and over
all health among their school-age
charges. And physical fitness and
good health, like optimism and
laughter, are highly contagious.
Soon the adults are infected and
before they even realize it, the
community is a lot healthier and
happier, in spite of themselves.”
Treat Rawhide Laces
If you’re putting new raw
hide laces in shoes or boots,
heat the ends just below the
charring point. Hardened
points lace easier, never get
soft.
