surer, and Joel Bowen was re

ture.
Many important items came
up for discussion during the

schedule of home games for

team be re-admitted to the lo

Tom Lovern was to have look
ed into the details of the re
entry and report to the league
and Mr. Stowe in the next day
or two.
Charles Moody, manager of
the Rocky Plains team of the
minor loop, suggested that
many of the teams in that di
vision now had their own play
ing diamonds and that a home
and-home schedule should be
arranged. However,- the Little
League field on Conyers Street
would still be available for
those teams who wished to use
it again this summer. This was

The Fishing Hat
You can criticize a man’s po
litics, kids or lack of social
graces. You might even get
away with a verbal poke at his
wife. But whatever you do, don’t j
ridicule his fishing hat.
A beat-up old fishing fedora
is just about the last expression
of individualism a fella has
left, say the Mercury outboard
people. Its dimensions, shape,
color and age quite accurately
size up t'he man underneath —
his experience as well as his
personality.
Sometimes a hat is the gal
lery for a one-man display of
fishing hardware, gaily fes
tooned with flies and spinners
and flashing spoons that com
pote on a par for attention with
the Mona Lisa.
A hat and the way it is worn
can variously express pride,
snobbishness or even person
al uncertainties. A really wild
creation can be away of tell- j
• ing the rest of the world
“where to get off.” Only out on <
the water are .such attitudes ।
tolerated, and usually applaud- ।
ed. i
A hat represents the sum to- t
tai of many fishing experiences, i
of joy and despair, of triumphs j
and defeats. Under it a man (
can safely embellish his feats |
with rod and reel, and if acer- j
tain “bronzeback" gains a few j
pounds each season, so what? }
A hat never betrays a confi- t
dence.
And, lastly, say the balding
Mercury fishing experts, a hat
is a means for fending off the
sun, the rain, the wind and
hiding the gray hairs that in
evitably develop. You can kid
a man about most everything.
But leave his hat alone.
For bass, blue plastic worms
are often far superior to black
ones.—Spoils Afield.

Newton Countians
To Attend Model
UN Session
Miss Betty Faith Jaynes and
Miss Dana Kemp of Salem Meth
odist Church, and Grady Camp
bell of Covington, are delegates to
a model United Nations Assembly
at Lake Jackson. March 29-31.
Each delegate attending the
model assembly will represent a
member nation of the UN.
The assembly is sponsored by
the North Georgia Conference
i Board of Education. Its purpose
is to give Methodist youth an op
l>ortunity to study major issues
facing the United Nations today.
It will be patterned after the 17th
assembly of the UN.
The meeting will be a time -for
learning by doing, according to
the Rev. Charles Frazier, confer
ence youth director. Four persons
from each subdistrict will com
prise a UN delegation.
The conference assembly is the
culmination of several years*
planning by the Methodist Youth
Fellowship Council and a two
year emphasis on the United Na
tions in local churches. Previous
activities included a UN Workshop
at Atlanta's Northside Methodist
Church in October, 1961. and a
UN — New York City Travel Sem
inar conducted last March. 1962.
Several leaders from the work
shop and seminar will direct thp
model assembly at Lake Jacksoa.
