LAFF OF THE WEEKI
A husband came home in the early hours of the morn

playing golf with some friends. You see we were using
night clubs.”

Can those MacGregor DX golf balls get that long distance?
Well, Jack Nicklaus drove one 341 yards in the 1963 PGA
Driving Contest. And, they’re made right here in Coving
ton . . . Another product the local MacGregor plant turned

Little Known Chemical Facts
A new type artificial leg. permitting more graceful,
efficient walking, contains a chemical fluid akin to that
used by planes in the Arctic.
Plastic substitutes have been used successfully in test
cases to replace seriously injured knee ligaments in athletes.
A Chicago inventor believes his chemical timekeeper
can replace parking meters and at far less expense. The
timer, a strip of special filter paper, would be placed on
the windshield by the motorist when he parks. As air pene
trates the timer, its color slowly changes. When all the color
disappears, the parking time is up.
Chemicals used to fabricate radio and television equip
ment number an estimated 92 or more, ranging from acetic
acid to xenon.
It was not until 1945 that man found the last of the 92
natural chemical elements. Since then, he has created 11
new ones.
Plans for construction of a pilot plant to produce 100-octane
gasoline from coal are under consideration. Success could
lead to a plant producing 31.000 barrels of gasoline daily
from 10.000 tons of coal at a cost of 13.6 cents a barrel.
To date some 150.000 organic chemical compounds (those
containing carbon atoms similar to those found in plant
and animal matter) have been synthesized or isolated from
coal alone.

Channel catfish fingerlings
are being furnished by the
State Game and Fish Commis
sion on a limited basis, Di
rector Fulton Lovell announced
this week, and the Depart

ers.
Another “first” for the Com
mission, channel catfish finger

thousands of farm pond own

nishes over 7.000.000 of these

“Adding channel catfish to
our list represents a major ac
complishment of our Fisheries
Division technicians,” Lovell
said.
“Through tedious experimen
tation in spawning and hatch
ing techniques at our Walton
County Fish Hatchery we have
developed a method of mass
producing these fish. A new
hatchery recently purchased at
Cordele will be producing
channel catfish in mass next
year.” Lovell commented.
“We encourage the stocking
of channel catfish in farm
ponds under proper conditions
in preference to native varie
ties because these fish will not

Fishin' Terms
Fishermen, who seldom miss
an opportunity to discuss their
favorite pastime, have concoct
ed a number of colorful terms
to describe their prey, their
equipment and each other.
Here are a few of the more
picturesque expressions which
the angling fans at Mercury
outboards finally culled from
some fishing glossaries and
pass along for the benefit of
newcomers to the sport:
Double Blood — A populai
fisherman’s knot used for join
ing two pieces of leader or
joining a leader to a line. This
is one knot every angler should
know. If you can tie a double
blood, you’re one of the boys.
Horsing—trying to land a
fish too rapidly, or with brute
force instead of skill. This is
one of the best methods of
losing a trophy size fish yet
devised by inept man.
Jack Salmon — Southern
name for walleye pike.
Jig—A weighted lure de
signed to be fished with an I
up-and-down motion. This act
is called “jigging.”
Linesides — A largemouth
bass.
Lunker- A big fish of any
species. Before you use this
term make sure that the fish
referred to is really big. For
instance, a lunker bass should
be at least six pounds.
Scull —The act of paddling
with one hand to move the
boat along slowly. Almost a

Booster club officials have
already ordered football tickets
to the Gator Bowl game at
I Jacksonville, Fla. for Decem
j ber 28. This is the highlight
! entertainment trip for the foot
| ball team and coaches each
year. The Ram basketball team
will attend the Kentucky State
high school tournament at Lex
ington. Ky. in March as their
rewarding trip from the Boos
ter Club.
