As you can see,however, he really is not "exercising" inthe usual sense of the word. Quite thecontrary.

Yo//r Trouble Is NOT''Just Imagination"

Contrary to the advice yon may be getting from well-meaning but misinformedfriends, ihcse nervous disorders arc not

the result of vonr imaginatitm. Nervescontrol all our organs, and emotionaltensions can strain your muscles to produce sucli svniptoms as backache, orpains aloiig tlie ribs, or i>etwcen theshoiihleis. They can causc just as painful and jusf as serious an ailment as youcould get fioin a germ or an organicdefect. If an)lhing, your nervous ailment is e\cn worse.

what Our ReadersHave to Say

niinds me of the

time I deliveredR Bf papers for my son,

who was in bed

with bursitis. His father had to go towork early, so was unable to take overthe job. However, unlike the summerlikescene you picture, the snow was knee-tleep in Indiana at that time, and Iwaded through drifts that almost stoppedme. Needless to say, I found anotherboy to deliver the afternoon papers andto take over the route until Tom was ableto resume his own deliveries. Thanks for

the memory.Mrs. Robert Green

Casa Grande, Ariz.

I am building the toy chest that youdescribed and am greatly interested inall the articles on home repairs and "DoIt Yourself." I also like very much youradvertising section. I and many othershere in French Morocco patronize manyof the mail order houses advertising withthe Elks. Keep up the good work.

I have only the highest praise for theElks Workshop, and, I might add thatmy copy of the magazine is minus tliatarticle when it is passed on to someoneelse.

Preston Skinner•

In your December issue you printedan article entitled "Freedom's Facts,

Reds Fear Exposure." which was takenfrom the monthly bulletin of the Ail-American Conference to Combat Com

munism. I certainly appreciate thisarticle and will look forward to more

like it. It was well written, to the point,and in language that the average readercan understand. There is much at stake

in this "Fight for Freedom," and fightfor it we must.

The Elks Workshop section in themagazine has given us considerable helpin our tasks around the house. We have

filed several articles for future use.Mrs. E. W. Lillard

The cubs were foo hungry to stay inside and outside was the grizzly^

The _MAi\ had jiktcIv gone out for alittle lumt. in thehui^h of the mountain evening. After a long go of cari-

lioii jerky and snowshoe rahljit. he was thinking that ahrat'c of rock plajniigan. now fat and sweet from the newhn(lf< of spring, would eal mighty well. So he had pocketedsonir :-ln)l siit;lls foi" his .110 picked up hi,-; hatlcict.hinociilais and head<'d out the tinihcrline slope for a brushysualc ulicre lately hf had been hearing the plump, mottledbirds cborlliiig aiotmd iii the willow runs arid duarl bncn.

He was a quarter mile from his shack wlx-n he ha[»penetlto feel in his pockets and tli.^eo\er that he bad bi'ongbtalonir no rifle cailiidses for the .-110. Just the liLdil shotshells. Witli a frown of uneasiness he thought of the\ici()iis rogue grizzlv whicii piowled that mountain andhad its la\-tip in a iumble of wiiulfall and giant bouldersa mile on norlh. For a moment he ^\as of a mind to gohack and set the macazine of hca\'\' slugs that he made a

point of always carrying. But he was tired from a Ion,,day of hand-drilling in an outcrop of yellow ruck, andthe bitterness of finding that the carnotite yellow was onlystain deep had left him in a devil-may-care mood. So |i(.shru<rged and went on. Chances of meeting up with 1]-,^dish-faccd brute were small, he told himself. And anyhowthe biir grizzlv ^vouId probably jusi rear up for a loc»khim and then get gone. Two times it had drifted into hisuei!ihborh(K>d while he was prosjU'Cting. atul (wo tintegiiad gone hum[>ing off.

When he angled down into the swale he found the birchand willow lhi<'kets like a ciiicken yard for feathers. But ashe turned his 'glasses up anti down tlje draw, lookitiij forbobbing heads, he became aware of a curious, puzzlingnoise out the mountain slope several hundred \ards. \nodd. conlinnnus kir-rir-yackin^. it look bis tlioushls awavfrom ptarmigan and his di.«ap|)oinlment of that dav and

.hi-Lf

As he thumbed his binoculars, studying the dog-wolf, den and cubs, he realized that disaster had struck.

the whole bitter enipty-haadedness of his hard-rockingmouths liack in tiioso lonclv ranges.

The noise sounded to him like cub animals, small ones—a diminutive barking or yapping. A'ot fox whelps, hedecided; the timbre of the yapping was different. Andprobably not coyote cubs. A few coyotes were beginningto appear in those sub-Arctic Kockies, but imlike wolves,which were friendly and trusting animals where theyweren't persecuted, coyotes wouldn't den within miles of aman's place. So it had to be a litter of wolf cubs.

The plaintive, quavering sound got to him as he listened.Like any ex])erienced Northerner, he was genuinely fondof wolves and hated to see the creature maligned by peoplewho knew nothing whatever about it in the wild—its loyally to kin, its great courage, its awe and respect for man.In all his years in the tundra and mountains of the Nortli-west Territories he had never heard of a wolf attacking ahuman. Rogue grizzlies often M'ould, and pumas, and evenihe big sled dogs of the North, but a wolf—ncit'r. To himihe lean, tawny hunter always seemed like an incarnation

of the spirit of those rugged and unfrequented regions thatwere now its last refuge.

The constant kiy-yiy-yacking told him that the wolf cubswere in bad trouble of some sort. "Lost or—something, thelittle devils," he muttered. "Guess I ought to go lake alook and see what."

He climbed out of the swale and headed out through theboulder field toward a hogback which kept him out ofsight of the place where the sound \\'as coming from.

It was eleven o'clock of the early-June evening. Justinching dowii behind a sawtooth range in the northwest,the low, reddish sun lay slant and beautiful over the poppyflats below and the fresh, virginal green of the aspendrogues, and against the cloud-high glaciers and snOAv-fields of the surrounding peaks it was shattering into cold,pale fires of orange and amethyst. The break-up had comea fortnight ago, unlocking the mountain streams and lakes,but the distant thunder of huge wet slides piling down theavalanche pathways still came whispering across the eveningsilence of that wild, lonesome land.

A LONG about the middle of January over 250,000 slight-** ly maniacal men and women braved cold, an interminable and dismal New York subway ride to plunk downS1.50 to cram themselves uncomfortably into the world'sbiggest armory. They were the vanguard of some 25.000,.000 people who are already—or will become so in 1956^slightly off their respective rockers. The subject of thismass dementia is boats.

At New York's National Motor Boat Show—the first of35 throughout the country—something more than 815,000,.000 was spent for boats and boat gadgets. But this bigmoney is a mere drop in the bucket compared to thebillion plus that fervent U. S. boatmen will put out thisyear to support what has suddenly become far and awaythe biggest sport in the nation.

In a mass movement which baffles psychologists, peopleare taking to water like lemmings—without the suicidalovertones. They find themselves in a brand new worldspeaking a brand new language and possessed of a brandnew sense of well being, such as is experienced by the heirsof rich and recently deceased uncles. All this drives thema bit balmy. I know. I am one of them.

The purchase of a boat causes more changes in familylife than the unheralded arrival of triplets. Moreover, trip.

lets do not require near the tender loving care which mustbe lavished on a boat to maintain it in prime condition.And triplets are cheaper.

But whatever the apparent handicaps involved in boatownership the boating boom has been hitting new peaksevery year for five years and this year (1956) is not likelyto be an exception. At least 500,000 outboard motors willbe sold, for example, and tens of thousands of cruisers willbe delivered to ecstatic owners. Indeed, in many cases itis a problem to get a power boat at all. Some makers arebehind as much as two years on their orders for custombuilt jobs.

Nobody knows how many boat makers there are—morethan twenty major outfits specialize in boats for outboardsalone. Probably there are more than 100 substantial producers. As a result, the variety of stock boats available issubstantial, far greater than the variety of automobiles,even when dozens of manufacturers were turning them out.Add to this the thousands of boats that are built annuallyto owner's specifications and it is obvious that you can anddo encounter almost any size or shape that imaginativemen can conceive.

A good rowboat that will take an outboard can be hadfor $100. There are quite a few stock boats moored near

my modest little job (S4,000) that cost a shade over000 without accessories, of course. Outboard runaboutsand cruisers go up to as much as $2,500. Inboard boats—where the engine is built into the hull—start at 81,500.The most popular ones cost as much as a new and largeautomobile. The "do-it-yourself" boys, as usual, can comeout much oheaper. For around S250 they can buy a kitcontaining everything except the tools needed to put together a really respectable runabout.

Whatever the cost of the original boat, the real shockeris in fihe accessories. Most neophytes are under the delusion that all you need to do with a new boat is put in someoil and gas and away you go over the briny. I was prepared to add a couple of life jjreservers and a deck chair.But that was before my wife, Pat, enticed me into a trapcalled The Crow's-nest, a shop deceptively located on tliesecond floor of a New York office building.

This little place is to the turncoat landlubber what Tiffany's is to a non-union chorus girl. The sales room is onlyfifteen feet square but you can buy more stuff there in afew minutes than in a dime store all day—but not for adime. Pat is normally a very slow gal with a buck.

day with beach-cruising, fighting snook will not soon be forgotten.

SOME DAYS afisherman never

forgets. The potential for such a dayoccurs occasionallyeach spring somewhere along thewhite-sand beaches ofsouthwestern Florida.

I have been luckyenough to be at the right place at theright moment, and a few others I knowhave been equally fortunate.

These rare days depend on a combination of factors: first, on the whims of atiny fish known as a glass minnow; and,second, on a condition of weather. Theremust be a several-day calm spell to permit the shore waters to settle and clear;then, if the glass minnows have gatheredclose to the beach, there will inevitablybe a third and most important factorpresent: snook. In singles, in pairs andsometimes in groups of six or eight,snook parade slowly along the beach,drifting silently and eflorllessly, appearing as little more than hazy gray shadowsfloating over the white-sand bottom. Butthese snook aren't wandering aimlessly.They are hunting. A patch of glass minnows triggers them into action. They roarahead, mouths open, and the waterchurns and explodes in a silvery sprayas the minnows leap clear of the surfacein a desperate effort to escape. By tlietime the excited fisherman reaches thespot, it is calm again. The minnows havescattered and the snook have continuedon their leisurely journey up the beacli.

These are big snook—eight- and ten-pounders and sometimes twice that size—and they are hungry snook. They arebright as clirome and as full of spunkas a banty rooster. The plug-caster whospends a day with these beach-cruisingsnook won't forget it.

The snook is just naturally the sort offish that makes an impression. Tu startwith, his name is outlandish. Snook is animprobable name for any fish, let alonea rough and humorless character likethis one. Perhaps some fish such as hisneighbor the mullet, which cavorts aboutlike a dumb but happy individual, couldbear the name appropriately, but not thisone so labeled. I have been told that thename comes from a similar Dutch wordmeaning pike. What business a Dutchman had naming a Florida fish I don'tknow, but it is as good an explanation asany. The Spanish-Americans have a muchmore fitting name: robalo. Translated,this means bass. The snook, or robalo, as

he is called along the Texas and Mexicancoasts, is essentially bass-like in his sporting characteristics, and so the Spanishname fits like a glove.

This is strictly a semi-tropical fish, existing in the warm coastal waters of theCarribean, around the Gulf of Mexicoand down the eastern Mexican coast toCentral America. Some of the largeston record have come from the CanalZone in Panama. The snook is a saltwater fish, but he isn't particular justhow salty. Sometimes just a pinch or twofor seasoning satisfies him. The importantthing is that—although a salt-water fish—he is by no means a deep-sea fish. Heis essentially a shallow-water resident.Some of the best Florida snook fishingis in rivers and canals far from the seaitself where he lives and acts much asdoes a black bass. Other likely placesare around piers, bridges and jetties.And the most reliable snook fishing isgenerally in the maze of shallow channels in the Ten Thousand Islands.

This shallow-water habitat makes himthe perfect game fisli for the simple

reason that he is available to anyone witha rod and reel. In my own experience Ihave taken as many or more by walkingthe shore and casting as I have from askiff. Whether a man is a plug-caster, afly-fisherman or a bait-fisherman, there islittle need of his resorting to more thanhis own personal know-how to get themost sport out of snook.

Photo by Dan Holland

The biggest killing I ever participatedin was simply a matter of walking,wading and casting; however, it was along way from Florida's snook waters.This happened a number of years ago atEighth Pass in Mexico, a narrow gut thatconnects Mexico's inland salt sea, theLaguna Madre, with the Gulf of Mexico.It was not only the one time I kept too.many game fish, but it was the only timeI ever fished commercially, for in effectwe were doing just that even though wewere plug-casting.

Mexican commercial fishermen were

working the area with nets and webegged transportation from them down tothe pass and back from Matamoras,which is directly across the border fromBrownsville, Texas. In return for the ridewe gave them the snook, or robalo, wecaught. It was a good deal all the wayaround. The Mexicans got the fish, whichthey wanted, and we got the fishing,which we wanted.

The first day the Mexicans pulled theirnets under the heat of the relentlesstropical sun while the several of uswalked the beach, waded and cast our

plugs. The snook were scattered, whichmade netting difficult. That evening thefish we had accounted for on rod andreel far outnumbered those which our

Latin friends had taken by net. This factmiglit have spurred them to greater efforts, but it didn't. A Mexican has a convenient and relaxed attitude toward en-

PLAN ELKDOM'S PROGRESS

ON FEBRUARY 16TH we celebrate the 88th Anniversary of the founding of our great Order. It has

[jrown from the small number of men who met in NewYork City in 1868 to more than 1.150.000 fine Americancitizens who beb'eve in and practice the cardinal virtues ofCharity, Justice, Brotherly Love, and Fidelity. Never beforehave our humanitarian and ))atriotic expenditures beenso great or our prestige so high.

Naturally you are proud of the Elks National Home atBedford, Virginia, where our brothers have all the comforts of a fine family, and of the Elks National MemorialBuilding in Chicago. Every member who visits either placegoes away a better Elk and better American'.

You are also proud of the marvelous humanitarian programs of the Grand Lodge, Stale Associations, and Subordinate Lodges—the wonderful service they are renderingto the less fortunate, to America's Youth, to our veteransand those in the armed forces.

You are proud of the fine work being done by The ElksMagazine, the Grand Lodge commissions, and the ofiicersand committeemen of all branches of our Order.

A Cause for InspirationYou are proud of your groat heritage of Elkdom. It

should inspire you to increase your productive endeavorsand thereby promote "A Plan For Elkdom's Progress."

During February and March, the two remaining monthsin our lodge year, you can render invaluable service for our

Membership Control Program. You can get a good newmember or a good reinstatement. You can assist yourSecretary and Lapsation Committee in holding delinquentsto an absolute minimum. You can enable your Lodge toachieve our goal of a five per cent net increase in membership.

We have many fertile fields for new I^odges, and experience has shown that they are needed if we are to continueto grow. Let us redouble our eflorts.

Everyone's CampaignThe campaign for the Elks National Foundation is now

in full swing. This year we want individual contributorsas well as the continuing support of State Associations andLodges. Remember, "Those who bring sunshine to thelives of others, cannot keep it from themselves." We needthe support of every Elk to give meaning to our theme:"Every Elk, Every Lodge, Every State Association a Contributor and Participant in the Elks National i^oundationProgram This Year." Won't you make your contributionnow?

Just a little extra effort on the part of each Elk willenable his Lodge, his State Association, and his GrandLodge to have the greatest year they have ever had. Itwill make our Birthday Celebratioii the finest we have everhad and will add to the happiness of every Elk. You will,I am sure, make that extra effort because you are determined to

"Serve Elkdom—Live Elkdom"

(J GRAND EXALTED RULER

"IFe are pledged never to forget so long as a single disabled veteran remains in a hospital. The Elks ISational Service Commission's program inwhich every Elk shares is redeeming that pledge."

The battle of the typewriters hasopened on Capitol Hill and mimeo-

-graphs are clattering at high speed inthe opening salvos of the 1956 politicalwar. It's going to be a humdinger. Presidential primaries always make Senatorsand Representatives trigger-happy whenit comes to press releases and publicityand they already have begun firing.Presses in the Government Printing Office are roaring and reporters are kneedeep in statements. It is not entirely because the Presidential contests this yearare wide open affairs. The whole technique of political campaigning haschanged in recent years what with TVand radio, tape recorders and Hi-Fi.News transmission is swifter and wirephotos and facsimile processes have beenperfected to an amazing degree. Members of Congress have been quick to takeadvantage uf these mediums and tlieirown radio and TV studios are crowded.On the House side the press productioncenters around the member's local problems. Over on tiie Senate side it's moreof a National affair. One third of theSenate, 32 seals tu be exact, will figurein the Fall presidential clecticjn. Of these17 are Hei)ubiican with several in hotlydisputed territory. Finirteeu are Demo-cralic with 9 of them in the South wherethere is little chance of an upset. In theSenate the Uepul)licans admittedly havetlie toughest figliL to hold what they liave.Statements from members of the Partyon both sides of the Capitol are beingcarefully scanncd for political implications. To the i»oiitical weather prophetsat GOP and Democratic headquartersthese press handouts are regarded as somany straws in tlie wind. Right now thatwind here in W ashington is blowing inall directions.

PLAN RECEPTION CENTER

For years Washington has needed ahospitality or reception center and plansfor one are now gaining support. Underconsideration by the National ParkService is a proposal to establish thecenter in the space on Pennsylvaniaavenue between the Commerce Dept. andthe Hotel Willard. Tlie old temporaryInformation Building on that plot hasjjeen lorn down. Tlie new receptioncenter may be below ground with a

18

sunken plaza like the skating rink inRadio City New York. It will be a placewhere visitors to the city can meet, getinformation and be made to feel athome. At the same time other uglytemporary buildings are to be razed untilby 1960 the Nation's Capital will be themost beautiful in the world with manynew government buildings. Some of thesewill have to go outside the 10-niile squareDistrict which is now too small to holdthem.

POSTMASTERS SALARIES

Annual report of the Post Office De-j)artment will omit postmaster salaryfigures for the first time because theyvary considerably under the new lawpassed last year. First class postmastersnow get from §5,280 to §14,800; secondclass, §4,300 to §6,390; third class from§3,880 to §5,460; fourth class up to§1,500 (based on gross receipts). Postalpay, however, is still a matter of publicrecord for those who want to know whogets what.

those funny penguins

Another chapter was added to thestrange tale of the Antarctic penguinswhen an elaborate plaque was presentedat the Zoo here to Commander GlenJacobsen, skipper of the Navy ice-breaker"Atka," for bringing them to this country. Five members of the crew receivedgold watches and medals for catchingthem. The donor's identity is secret except that he is an American citizen livingin Argentina. Nobody knows why he isso interested in Emperor penguins. Allthe funny birds have died except one inthe zoo here and two in New York. Everyvisitor who sees the one in the Zoolaughs at it, it looks so stuffy. Comdr.Jacobsen said it was no trouble to catchihe birds. "They walk right up to you, because they think you are another penguin," he said.

DIVER DIDN'T SMILE

Chief Petty Officer Joe Tallarico, a 33-year veteran deep-sea Navy diver, wastrapped for 8V2 hours 130 feet down inthe icy Patuxent River, never lost consciousness, was rushed into a decompression tank when he was finally brought to

the surface. After hours more in the tankas the pressure was gradually lessened toavoid the dreaded "bends" the Chiefcame out. "A big smile" yelled the photographers as usual as the flashbulbspopped. Joe looked at them quietly."1 don't feel much like smiling," he said.The picture without a smile was one toremember.

INCREASE VACCINE PRODUCTIONS

Federal and State Health officials arewatching for black market operations inSalk polio vaccine. Surgeon GeneralLeonard Scheele says manufacturerspromise stepped up production beginning in February. The program thisSpring will be to get the vaccine to themost susceptible age groups of children,gradually including the teen-agers.

BIRDS GET BREAK

Giant search-lights at airports whichare used to measure altitude of cloudshave been throwing migratory birds intotail-spins and killing about 25,000 annually, it is estimated. The birds fly intothe beam and get confused and plungeto death "flying blind." This Spring, during the northward flights, the big lightswill be turned on only as measurementsare taken. Some 48 species of birds, ifthey could talk, will say "Ihank you."

WASHINGTON WHISTLES

It costs §346 to recruit a civilian inthe Army and another §3.500 to makehim a soldier; §10,000 for a trainedtechnician. . . Smithsonian Institutionhas a 337V2*pound sea bass caught inthe far Pacific which had a big chucksteak in its stomach probably thrownoverboard by an American sailor. . .Air Force says it will e<jntinue to court-martial civilians overseas despite a District Court ruling they are unconstitutional. . .

BY HORACE SUTTON

ILLUSTRATED BY TOM HILL

The honorable Leroy Collins, asoft-spoken gentleman who makes a

modest dollar by running the State ofFlorida, was saying in New York theother day. as the winter's season wasabout to unfold, that 500 people aremoving to Florida every day. The governor didn't mean loiirisls. who are nowin annual migration in figures a gooddeal heftier ihan that. He meant peoplewho had sloughed through their lastsidewalk of slush, leaned into theirlast January blast, sneezed and hackedtheir way through their last frigid winter.

I don't blame anybody wlio has hadthe gumption to do it, but for thoseof us tied by one means or another tothe icy climes that stretch north of theFlorida borders there are all sorts ofways to take seasonal respite. As far asti'ansportation is concerned, the threemajor airlines involved in the annualshuttle to the south, namely: Eastern,National and Delta-Chicago and Southern,have been forecasting between twentyand twenty-five per cent more traffic to

Florida retreats tlian they carried a yearago. National Airlines, now whizzingsouth out of New York on DC-7s in threehours and a half, is forecasting roughlytwo hours even for the 1.100 miles whenit gets the jet-powered DC-8s some threeyears from now. After all, the forecastfor Europe is about six hours and ahalf. New York to London. Eastern, evenwith today s Constellation equipment, willwhip you down from the chill winds ofLake Michigan in four hours. And whata difference a sixth of a day makes.

You might think that everybody wouldgo by plane what with the speed andall, but that's not the case, and theSeaboard Airline Railroad and the Atlantic Coast Line have had extra sections running to Florida since back inDecember 15th. As usual, it seems apparent that a berth or a roomette on thetrain of one's choice will require a billto the right hotel porter in New Yorkor Chicago once we are in full season.For those who by hook or by crook obtain the ducats and the space. Seaboard

Airline Railroad (wliich is a railroadnot an airline) is talking • about newstainless steel Pullmans with observation dome cars of the kind already inuse on the Western roads.

There still is, too, a mobile army thatrolls south by car, and there is evengood news for these types, too. Besidesthe battery of shining motels that haverisen by the side of the road with eachpassing year, there liave been somehighway improvements too. That oldstandby byway to the palmlands, U. S.17, has been spruced up between Savannah and Jacksonville. For one thing,the Talmadge Bridge will take youaround the worst parts of Savannahtraffic. All kinds of new concrete bridgeshave been put in along the route, andmuch of the road has been widened

and resurfaced. I can't say how muchhas been done to eliminate tlie local

speed traps where any municipal constable with a car, a siren, a pistol and apad full of receipts could come awaywith a fast ?15 for minor infringements.All practitioners of the law have done,of course, has been to make life easierfor the car-hire people from Jacksonville south to Key West. And a greatbooming business it has become. Couturein Miami. iNational in Jacksonville or

Avis or Hertz will all have a car waiting on the line for you at the airport or

•w

train station, and you can drop it rightthere wlien you're through, paying forit, if you've made advance arrangements,either with a credit card once backhome, or else at the time you pick upyour transportation ticket.

I don't know what all these new 500-a-day residents do once they are ensconceddown in Florida, but it would seem thatmany of them go into the hotel business.Few Miami Beach hotels, as a primeexample (and I would suspect fewmotels) are run by hotel people. Tlienew Lucerne, one of This Year's Hotelsin Miami Beach, is, by way of prime example, owned by one B. I. Binder, agent who came to the Beach in 1945looking for a vacation from his linenbusiness. What he had in mind, of course,was a vacation of a week or two, but itdidn't work out. Now he is sitting, inthe sun, of course, with several milliondollars worth of liotel.

Tlie Lucerne, which as you might expect, is done in the Swiss tradition, ispart of the current Miami Beach trendtowards the European motif. I guess itall started last year with the opening ofthe mammoth Fontainebleau, or Fon-laine6/ue, as it is known down there,which visited upon the unsuspectingFlorida scene a multi-million dollar out

cropping of French. Why even the mayor(Continued on page 56)

WILL YOU SMOKE MYNEW KIND OF PIPE

30 Days at My Risk?By E. A. CAREY

All I want is your name so I can writeand tell you why I'm willing to sendyou my pipe for 30 days smoking without a cent of risk on your part.My new pipe is not a new model, not a newstyle, not a new gadget, not an improvement on old style pipes. It is the first)ipe in the world to use an ENTIRELY^EW PRINCIPLE for giving unadulterated pleasure to pipe smokers.

I've been a pipe smoker for 30 years—always looking for the ideal pipe—buyingall the disappointing gadgets — neverfinding a single, solitary pipe that wouldsmoke hour after hour, day after day,without bitterness, bite, or sludge.

With considerable doubt, I decided to work outsomething for myself. After months of experiment-inff and scores of disappointments, suddenly, almostby accident, 1 discovered how to harness four greatnatural laws to give me everything I wanted in a pipe.It didn't require any "breaking in". From the firstpuff it smoked cool—it smoked mild. It smoked rightdown to the last bit of tobocco without bite. It neverhas to be "rested". AND it never has to becleaned! Yet it is utterly impossible for goo orsludge to reach your tongue, because my Inventiondissipates the goo as it forms!

You might expect all this to require a complicatedmechanical gadget, but when you see it. the most surprising thing will be that I've done all this in a pipethat looks like any of the finest conventional pipes.

The claims I could make for this new principle intobacco enjoyment are so spectacular that no pipesmoker would believe them. So, since "seeing isbelieving", I also say "Smoking is convincing" and1 want to send you one Carey pipe to smoke 30 daysat my risk. At the end of that time, if you're willingto give up your Carey Pipe, simply break it to bits—and return it to me — the trial has cost you nothing.

Please send me your name today. The coupon or apostal card will do. I'll send you absolutely free mycomplete trial offer so you can decide for yourselfwhether or not my pipe-smoking friends are righwhen they say the Carey Pipe is the greatest smoking invention ever patented. Send your name todayAs one pipe smoker to another, I'll guarantee youthe surprise of your life. FREE. Write E. A. Carey1920 Sunnysiclc Ave., Dept. 102, Chicago 40, Illinois

But, after an honest trial, if you'reat all like the other men to whom I'vetold my strange plan, you'll guard it with your last breath.Don't jump at conclusions. I'm not a manufacturer ofany fancy new lure. I have no reels or lines to sell. I'ma professional man and make a good living in my profession. But my all-absorbing hobby is fishing. And,quite by accident, I'vediscovered how to go to watersthat everyone else says are fished out and come inwith a limit catch of the biggest bass that you eversaw. The savage old bass that got so big, because theywere "wise" to every ordinary way of fishing.

This METHOD is NOT spinning, trolling, casting,fly fishing, trot line fishing, set line fishing, hand linefishing, live bait fishing, jugging, netting, trapping,seining, and does not even faintly resemble any ofthese standard methods of fishing. No live bait orprepared bait is used. You can carry all of the equipment you need in one hand.

Thewhole method can be learnedin twenty minutes—twenty minutes of fascinating reading. All the extra equipment you need, you can buy locally at a costof less than a dollar. Yet with it, you can come in afteran hour or two of the greatest excitement of yourlife, with a stringer full. Not one or two miserable 12or 14 inch over-sized keepers — but five or six realbeauties with real poundage behind them. The kindthat don't need a word of explanation of the professional skill of the man who caught them. Absolutelylegal, too—in every state.

This amazing method was developed by a littlegroup of professional fishermen. Though they arepublic guides, theyrarelydivulgetheirmethod to theirpatrons. They use it only when fishing for their owntables. It is probable that no man on your waters hasever seen It, ever heard of it, or ever used it. Andwhen you have given it the first trial, you will be asclosed-mouthed as a man who has suddenly discovered

agold mine. Because with this method you can fish with-in a hundred feet of the best fishermen in the countyand pull in ferocious big ones while they come homeempty handed. No special skill is required. "Themethodis just as deadly in the hands of a novice as in thehandsof an old timer. My method will be disclosed onlyto those few men in each area who will give me theirword of honor not to give the method to anyone else.

with Ed Faust

ONE of the oddities of the dog worldis that despite the wealth of its

people and its love of sport the UnitedStates has originated so few of the officially recognized breeds. Of the 112 recognized by the American Kennel Club,the governing body for pure bred dogs,only four breeds can claim this countryas their own and all are mixtures of Eu

ropean ancestry. Of these the most widely known and one of the leading breedsin popularity is the perky little Bostonterrier. As is apparent from the name,the Boston originated in and around thatcity.

Sometime between 1865-68 a dog ofmixed breeding but strongly favoring aterrier type was imported to New England from old England. Breeders are ingeneral agreement that dogs of thistype were the result of a cross betweenthe English bulldog and the bullterrier.From the bulldog our little Boston getshis pushed-in sclmoz/.le and largely fromthe bullterrier his lively disposition. Originally he was called tlie Boston bulldog,the brindle bull or Boston bullterrier.

Many early s})eciniens carried straighttails and it was with the dog known asBarnard's Tom that tlie characteristicscrew tail that marks today's Bostons began to appear.

The imported dog, Hooper's Judge, wasmarked pretty much as is the modernBoston—brindle and white, the brindle

predominating. In the standard established for the breed, all white, too muchwhite or absence of white are consideredfaults. For siiow puritoses. solid black,liver and tan or mouse color disqualifiesa dog of this breed. The coat should beshort, smooth, bright and fine in texture.

It was not until 1894 that ihe American Kennel Club recognized the Bostonas a distinct breed for sliow classes andregistrations. Among other early designations for the breed was "The Roundhead". While the name was descriptive,it was hardly suited as a breed name.Thus, those more seriously interested inthese little dogs came to happy agreement in the name Boston terrier. Theroundhead designation stems from thefact that many early specimens were whatis technically known as appleheaded. i.e.---a round skull. Today's Bostons, whilehaving abrupt skulls or brows, are required to be fialheaded. But it is that

34

InIhe DoghouseFor all that we love dogs, only four breeds

can claim this country as their own.tendency toward a large skull that nodoubt enables our little Boston to bethe highly intelligent dog that he is. Hisbrain box is big. unusually big for sosmall a dog. which affords greater capacity for brains.

Contrariwise, we have seen certainbreeds in an effort to streamline them being bred with narrower skulls downthrough the years. Some of the latter,originally wide-skulled breeds, were notedfor their intelligence before breederstampered with them. As the brain capacity of such dogs became more and morelimited, naturally intelligence has beenbred out of them. I could cite shining, ornot so shining, examples of those breeds,examples which you, if you are an observant dog admirer, have probably noticed. Yes, I could name such breeds butwon't as I have no wish to have a war onmy hands with their breeders.

No need here to point out to the ownerof a Boston terrier the many virtues of tiiebreed but to those who are not acquaintedwith these good dogs I'll say that theymake one of the best of all housepets.Their's is a lively intelligence but of suchnature as to be easily controlled. Theylearn quickly and are remarkably cleanand not at all vicious. Their livelinessmakes them alert watch dogs and theyhave plenty of courage. One of the storiestold of the breed, and it could be truemaybe it is. relates that a Boston terrier

that gained considerable prominencemany years ago in the show ring wasnamed Hector and from that pooch comesthe saying"When Hectorwas a pup."

If the Boston has a fault or two it isnot in his disposition or character but inthe way he has been bred. His extremelyfore-shortened muzzle subjects him insome instances to nasal and pulmonaryailments as he grows older. He may findbreathing a bit difficult and if he couldspeak he'd probably deny it but he snoresat times. Another handicap, mostlyamong the smaller specimens, is that thelarge head of the puppy often calls forCaesarian operations on the whelpingmother of the litter.

For show purposes Bostons are dividedaccording to their breed standard intothree weight classes: lightweight, under15 lbs.; middleweight, 15 lbs. and under20 lbs.; heavyweight, 20 to 25 lbs.

As mentioned before, in the matter ofthe Boston terrier, the American KennelClub is slow to recognize a breed officially. It required nearly thirty yearsof consistent breeding before the A. K. C.accorded recognition to the Boston. Thebreed must meet requirements of breed*ing true to the standard established forIt and this is no overnight matter. Forexample, we have another Americanbreed that was established perhaps longbefore the Boston and yet went unrecog-

SALUTE TO ELKSOn December 2, the New York "Jour

nal American" paid this striking tributeto Brooklyn Lodge No. 22. which we reprint because actually it is a tribute tothe Order as a whole.

"All too infrequently do we considerhow much our lives are enriched by thegood works of those neighbors wbo join

"in groui)s to perform them."Yet Brooklyn and Queens have deep

reason to be grateful to their many out-standing civic, patriotic, religious andfraternal organizations, whose constructive activities have done so much for thecommunity.

"In the world's largest city, often criticized for impersonality, their zealous en-deavors epitomize the spirit of warmhuman concern for others.

"A major case in point is BrooklynElks Lodge 22, with clubhouse at 912Union St., which has announced anelaborate schedule of events to celebrateits 73rd year of social and philanthropicexistence.

"As disclosed by Frank L. Coppola,Exalted Ruler of the lodge, the four-month-long birthday program is typicallyone of service.

"Included, among many other altruistic activities, is a youth aid plan designed to build belter citizens; the providing of rehabilitation aid to veterans;the awarding of scholarships to outstanding high school students, and thedirect support of recognized charitieswith money and other assistance.

"It is with pleasure and sincere appreciation of its work that we today congratulate Brooklyn Elks Lodge 22 onthe occasion of its 73rd anniversary.Many happy returns!"

ELKS N ATId N A L F O U N D ATIO N

As we go to press, Grand ExaltedRuler Walker advises that he has received a telegram from Max Barrett. Exalted Ruler of Lincoln, Nebr., Lodge,informing him that as of December25th, Lincoln Lodge has a total of 270Foundation contributors, of whom 267have subscribed SlOO, for total pledges of?26,753. Sixty-two of the §100 pledgeshave been paid in full. Total contributions forwarded to the Elks NationalFoundation from Lincoln Lodge amountto $8,780. With the aim of having everymember of the lodge contribute to theFoundation, Lincoln is conducting oneof tlie most outstanding drives in the history of that great benevolent Elks organization. The progress Lincoln has madewas reported in our January issue.

•

In the August issue of The Elks Magazine there was a report on the winnersof the "Most Valuable Student" contestconducted annually by the Elks NationalFoundation. This was accompanied by aphotograph of the winners, Robert Evansof El Dorado, Kans., and Katlileen JoanneKampmann of Naches, Wash., who wassponsored by the Ballard, Wash., Lodge.

The most interesting part of tlie awardsis that both of these young people arepre-medical students. For that reason, itoccurred to Past Grand Exalted RulerDr. Edward J. McCormick, who is also apast President of the American MedicalAssociation, to write a letter to the Editorof the journal of the American MedicalAssociation, in which he covered very impressively, yet briefly, the outstandingqualities of the Elks National Foundation. Dr. McCormick is a Trustee of theFoundation and in his letter he emphasized that all expenses for operating theFoundation are paid by the Grand Lodge,su that the entire income from ihe Principal Fund is used solely for humanitarian purposes. He also brought to the attention of the subscriijers to the Journal,who are almost exclusively members ofthe medical profession, the great workthat the Foundation has done in theawarding of scholarships and in contributions to combat cerebral palsy.

When the journal reprinted Dr. Mc-Cormick's letter, it ran a photograph ofDr. McCormick, grouped with the twopre-medical student winners.

•

Past Grand Exalted Ruler John F.Malley, Chairman of the Elks NationalFoundation, urges lodges to include intheir Bulletin a paragraph remindingmeml)ers to read The Elks Magazine,and. in particular, the regular '"Joy ofGiving"' column, which each month carries information in brief form with re-

gard to the Foundation in action. Mr.Malley is convinced that every Elk whoappreciates the good work sponsored bythe Foundation will be anxious to contribute to the cause.

•

Ernest Cunliffe. who is a student atStanford University and the recipient ofan Elks National Foundation $400

Scholarship, wrote a letter to Mr. Malleyrecently that summarizes the sinceregratitude of the hundreds of able studentswho have had their education furtheredby the Foundation.

"The ceremony at the Pomona ElksClub was a marvelous experience. It wasa proud moment for my parents and mewhen { was presented witli a check forS400. That night will remain in my mindforever a.«< one of my happiest.

"I feel that the oiJftortunity offered bythe National Elks Foundation is one ofthe' finest things for the youth of Americato strive for. As for the interest shown bythe Pomona Elks Club in helping me, Ican offer nothing but the highest praise.I realize that the award will greatly aidme in gaining the best education I canreceive. I am majoring in Civil Engineering and plan on receiving a B.S. degree,"

•

The Elks National Foundation has prepared this "In Memoriam Certificate,"which will be issued whenever anyonesends a gift to the Foundation in memoryof a deceased person. Chairman Malleyhas prepared the certificate so that it isapplicable to all person.®—men. women,members and non-memlx-rs. This reproduction is considerably reduced, and theactual certificate that the Foundation issues is beautifully printed on fine-gradepaper, .size x 11"- making it appropriate for permanent jireservation.

NEW LODGES KEEP ELKDOM GROWING APACE

The Order ofElks continues to

grow with America,to which, as a distinctly Americanorganization, the Order's destiny is irrevocably linked.

Since the beginning of the GrandLodge year in Julyto December 31,Grand Exalted Rul

er John L. Walkerhas granted dispensations tor eight newlodges. Seven ofthem had been insti

tuted to join theever-growing ranksof Elkdom. The total of new lodges instituted in that period was eight, includingone for which dispensation was grantedby Grand Exalted Ruler Jevnick.

These figures show that there is noslackening in the rate at which ihe Orderis expanding. Whether the final figuresfor the year l)ear this out will dependon the energy with which those in chargeof organizing new lodges perform theirresponsibilities. An estimated 50 lodgesare in various stages of formation, andGrand Exalted Ruler Walker made astrong appeal for aggressive action tobring them into being.

"Our country is growing, and in somesections the growth is phenomenal," theOrder's leader pointed out. "We shallbe derelict in our duty and oblivious ofour opi)ortunity if we do not make surethat Elkdom keeps pace with the country's growth. Every community that cansupport an Elks lodge should have one,and there are literally hundreds of suchcommunities that are simply waiting forus to start the ball rolling. We should beespecially anxious and eager to bringthe advantages of Elkdom to those inetro-politan areas that are sliowing tremendous increases in population, not over-

.-vi./-

looking the smallercommunities where

the need is just asgreat, and the opportunity just as attractive.

"We should never

oppose the organization of a new

lodge, in any community where population and other fac

tors clearly showthat it is a soundproject, on theground that it willdamage existinglodges. This is amistaken idea com

pletely disproved bythe facts. Tlie record shows just the opposite, that a new lodge will strengthenthe existing lodges and they will allprosper together."

Among the new lodges instituted wasone with the largest charier membership in history. This was Beaverton.Ore., Lodge No. 1989, which was instituted on December 3 with 707 mem

bers. Grand Secretary Donaldson reported that only nine lodges ever startedwith a charter membership in excess of400. Of Beaverton's 707 charter members, 583 were initiates. It is located nearPortland, which is a rapidly growing metropolitan area.

Other lodges instituted since July 1:Orange, Tex., No. 284; Garland, Tex.,No. 1984; Erwin, Tenn., No. 1985; Farm-ington, Mij:h., No. 1986; Fayetleville,Ark., No. 1987; Walterboro, S. C., No.1988, and Lewisburg, Tenn., No. 1990.

One other lodge awaiting institutionis Redwood City, Cal., No. 1991.

This year will see the birth of the2,000th Elks Lodge, but the total oflodges will be some 250 short of thefigure, owing to the fact that manynumbers have been assigned to lodgesthat no longer exist.

What do Elks DO and EARN?

Of course, you know as a lodge member that the 1,175,000 Elks are men ofmeans who on the average are leaders in business, social and community life, butdo you realize to what extent?

Like all sound businessmen, before appropriating money that in many casesinvolves thousands of dollars, prospective advertisers demand factual data fromthe various magazines they are considering as to the nature of the readers theyreach. Purchasing power and the types of business in which the readers areengaged are primary considerations.

To obtain that information. The Elks Magazine engaged a concern whose solebusiness is to conduct reader surveys because, of course, data from such anorganization is much more acceptable to a prospective advertiser than if amagazine itself obtains the information.

The survey was made by having a group of experienced interviewers equippedwith question-type data sheets personally interview a sufficient number of readersto obtain an accurate cross-section of the total readership of The Elks Magazine.The personal interview type of survey is considered far more accurate than attempting to obtain the information by mail.

While by no means totally unexpected, the results were most gratifying, andyour Elks Magazine feels that the information obtained is of general interest tomembers of the Order. For that reason, this month we are presenting the firsttwo divisions of the survey, namely, occupational status and personal income, butwill continue in the months to come with the survey's remaining eight divisions.

OCCUPATIONAL STATUS34.8% are Business Owners17.6% are Executives14.9% are Professional Men18.8% are Clerical or Sales

7.2% are Craftsmen3.6% are of Other Positions3.1% are Unknoivn

personal income22.5%~$10^000 or over33.8%~,$6^000 to $9,00017.3%—$5^000 to $5,99914.5%—$4^000 to $4,999

7.5%—$3,000 to $3,9994.5%—less than $2,999

Trial of Big Loupe(Continued from page 5}

When the man reached the hogback theyapping was only a few rods on ahead.He slipped up behind a rock, rose upcarefully and looked.

On a flat-top granite boulder out theslope, a big, tawny dog-wolf was pacingrestlessly back and forth, in the way of abewildered, harassed animal. By an ancient jackpine snag a rod or two from theboulder he saw a wolf den, a shallow,large-mouthed burrow with an apron ofdirt in front of it. Outside, eight smallfuzzy cubs, about five weeks old, werewandering around forlornly. They werevery small, their feet awkwardly big fortheir size, and when they tried to runthey would go tumbling.

It took the man only a look and a listento realize that the cubs were famished.Several of them were gnawing at somedry old rib-bones of a mountain sheep,others were eating leaves of cinquefoiland bitter avens, and now, close up, hecaught the note of starvation in that incessant kiy-fiy-yacking.

He recognized the dog-wolf on the boulder instantly. It was a handsome, high-spirited animal, with a queer mixture ofshyness and friendliness, which he hadbeen seeing for several months and hadnamed Loupe. During the Nahanni Moon-of-the-Long-Dark the big fellow and hissilver-gray mate had often tracked aroundhis shack at night and followed him in themid-winter murk, close enough that hecould talk to them, and with his glasseshe had several times watched Loupe outhunting recently. Swift as an eagle'sshadow and weighing a good hundred andthirty pounds, the big tawny could overhaul a caribou at one rush and hamstringa moose with one snap of his powerfulcarnassial teeth. The master hunter onthat spur of the Liard Rockies, when hewent ranging down into the timber forcaribou or coursing the high heathermeadows for bighorns, he was invariablyfollowed by a retinue of scavenger birdsand animals for the left-overs of his kills.

As the man thumbed his binoculars,studying the dog-wolf, den and cubs, herealized that some disaster had struck thewolf family, and he soon formed a roughidea what the disaster had been. The

famished yapping of the cubs could onlymean that the she-wolf was not aroundto suckle them and hadn't been aroundthere in some time. Through the strongx-10 glasses he noticed that a patch offoot-high crowberry just beyond the denhad been trampled down, as though by afight, and on the dirt apron and whitishflint-rock he made out some ominous darksplotches. Then he spotted a set of hugegouge marks on the jackpine, where abear that could reach nine feet high hadcleaned its three-inch claws, and withthat the signs all added up:

Two or three days ago, while Loupewas out hunting, the prowling grizzlyhad discovered the den and killed theshe-wolf, in her valiant defense of heryoung, and had lugged the remains off toits lay-up in that fastness out by thechimney rock.

But there was still another puzzle, andthe man was quite a little while understanding that one. Though the cubs hadnot been weaned, they were of an age tohave cut their needle-sharp milk teethand could handle meat, and why hadn'tLoupe brought in any game for them?The big fellow certainly understood theirfamished yapping; in fact, it had him onraw edge. There was plenty of game allaround—hoary marmots, rabbits, lemming—and bringing in food was his natural job during the time the she-wolf wasbig with whelp and thereafter while thecubs were den-bound. So what was hedoing there pacing the rock and actingso muddle-headed, while his hungrybairns ate leaves and kiy-yiy-yacked athim for food?

Occasionally the wolf would lie downwearily on the boulder, but almost atonce he would be up again, snarling ata skulking fox or monitoring the air outtoward the chimney rock or eyeing threeravens that were sitting in the blizzard-twisted jackpine and watching the cubstoo interestedly. Up the slope a rusty-brown carcajou slunk out on a low jutand lay regarding the den, with evil patience. High overhead a golden eagle wascircling in tight spirals against the rose-tinted cirrus clouds.

TV Show Boosts Elks National FoundationAn alert Exalted Ruler and his talented

wife cooperated to bring the Elks National Foundation to the attention of a nation

wide audience viewing the WCBS-TVshow, "I've Got A Secret," November 20.They were Alton B. Garnand of GardenCity, Kans., Lodge No. 1404 and Mrs.Stella Pajunas Garnand, the world'schampion professional typist.

Failure of the panel to guess her"secret" netted Mrs. Garnand §40, anda supply of Winston cigarettes, productof the R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Co.. sponsor of the show. Mrs. Garnand asked

Moderator Garry Moore to send her earnings to the Elks National Foundation,telling him and the TV audience: "Tdlike to donate my money to the Elks National Foundation. I found out they givescholarships to worthy students."

When Mrs. Garnand was invited to appear on the show. Brother Garnand. sensing the opportunity for publicizing theOrder's great benevolent agency, suggested that Mrs. Garnand donate her winnings to the Foundation. She acceptedthe suggestion with enthusiasm, realizing,as she put it, "the great value of the ElksNational Foundation."

One of the most surprised and pleasedviewers of Mrs. Garnand's appearance ontelevision was PGER John F. Malley,Chairman of the Foundation.

"I was watching television when to mysurprise you instructed Garry Moore tosend the money you had won to ihe ElksNational Foundation," Mr. Malley wroteMrs. Garnand. "Your favorable commentin regard to our educational program washeard by millions of people throughoutthe country and was of inestimable valueto us in our promotional campaign."

Grand Exalted Ruler John L. Walker

toddlers to take care of—it's rough, fellow," the man muttered. "1 happen toknow. And with you it's double rough—you don't have any mission boardinghome where you can put 'em." He studiedthe burrow thoughtfully. "If those fuzziesof yours would only keep inside the den,where they wouldn't draw so much attention, you could get away for short huntsright arou]id close. But they're too hungry to stay inside, I guess . .

He stopped there, suddenly seeing thegrim dilemma the wolf was caught in.Goaded by the yapping of the cubs, alongwith his own hunger, tiie big tawny washalf frantic to go hunting and bring backfood, but he couldn't leave, he didn't dareleave. With all those enemies aroundthere, watching, waiting, the small cubswould fall quick and easy victims if heleft. And undoubtedly the lingering odorof the grizzly was a constant reminderthat as soon as the bear slept off its meatgorge it would come lumbering backthrough the boulder fields to dig out thecubs and make a mi^al of them. So the

didn't see the show but heard about itfrom many Elks who did.

"Although I was not privileged to seethe show, many of my Elk friends toldme about it almost as soon as the program was over and I have continued tohear about it," he wrote Mrs. Garnand."This year I am doing everything in mypower on behalf of the Elks NationalFoundation, which symbolizes the greatheart of Elkdom. I want you to know thatthis tmexpected publicity from you wasone of the finest things that I know of.Please accept my sincere thanks."

Garry Moore, TV personality, is cmoied as theIBM counter and timer ticks out the typingspeed of Mrs. Stella Pajunas Garnand whenshe appeared on the CBS-TV r^etwork show,"I've Got a Secret". Mrs. Garnand typed ata rate of 7 60 words a minute.

wolf's instinct to guard his young washolding him there at the den as thoughby an invisible tether, while the cubssteadily grew weaker, bonier from lackof nourijijiment.

Down on a moraine flat a colony ofhoary marmots set up a chorus of shrillwhistling. Wondering what had alarmedthem, the man looked all around, a littlejumpy about the grizzly. Then he followed the wolf's gaze upward and sawwhat the trouble was . . . Scarcely a hundred yards high, the golden eagle washovering dead over the den. on the vergeof plummeting down and picking off oneof the cubs.

The alej t Loupe sprang off the boulderand loped over to the burrow. In a greatwrath the eagle came diving down, clacking its beak ferociously. But it prudentlychecked its swoop while it was still safelybeyond the leap of the crouching, snarling wolf, and went sailing out across thevoid, with a screaming chuk-a-lac-a-lncof disappointment.

Unaware that thev had been shielded

from danger, the cubs rushed to the dog-wolf and crowded hungrily around himand under him, all eight of them, jostlinghis legs and reaching up to nuzzle hisbelly fur. For half a minute big Loupestood there among them, stiff-legged, wagging his tail awkwardly, helplessly. Butthey kept besieging him with their importuning, and presently he backed off,fled over to the boulder and sprang uponto it, where they could not get at him.He could liaul down a caribou or moosesingle-handed but the eight weanling cubsthat had to be both guarded and fedwere something his instincts could notcope with.

The man wished he could somehowhelp. He thought of taking one of thecubs himself, to raise; they made a finecompanion, utterly loyal and as gentleas any dog. But one whelp less, he reflected, wouldn't solve Loupe's problem.He might shoot them a marmot, but thenthe cubs would probably stay inside theden better and Loupe could get away onshort hunts. But that wouldn't help anywhen that rogue bear came back, as comeit would.

Far down the mountain adun-gray animal drifted out of a pine woods and

trotted out upon a little prairion of Eskimo grass and blue lupine. Behind it camea second and a third, in single file, andstill others, till half a hundred of themwere spread out fan-wise over the mountain meadow. A band of caribou, allmales, tiiey liad spent the fly-torturedday down in the dense pine thickets andnow had come out to pasture in the evening cool.

Glancing at Loupe, the man saw thatthe wolf was watching the caribou intently, his siiarp ears up, his tail twitching.Presently the wolf began prancing andslavering, and the man had a hunch thatthe sight of all that big game would provetoo much for the hungry, cub-liarassedfellow. The marmots, rabbits and lemming of the mountainside could not pullhim away from guarding the cubs, butthe windfall of meat down yonder—thatwould. And a tragic hunt it would turnout to be. Three miles down and back,on top of the stalking, killing—by thetime Loupe got back with food for hiscubs, there'd be no cubs left alive to eatit.

His hunch proved right. For a minuteor two the big tawny kept prancing theboulder, watching the caribou, watchinghis cubs. Then, finally, he leaped ofF theboulder, made a rush at an overbold foxand then went streaking off down themountain. . . .

The fox started to slink in again beforetlie wolf was a minute gone. The carcajouslipped off the jut and came diagonalingdown the slope, with its peculiar, weasellike gait. The man thought, "Like thedevil you will!" and moved out near theden himself, protectively. But he sworeat Loupe for drawing him into the wolf-family troubles and hanging him up there

for probably an hour and putting him indanger of a jam with the grizzly. Thebear's awesome gouge marks on the iron-hard jackpine and his awareness thatbears too, especially big, heavy ones,were most active in the cool of the mid

night dusk, made him finger around againin his pockets. But he had only the birdshells with No. 4 shot.

The three scavenger ravens were following the wolf down the long, brushymountainside, and by watching them hecould tell roughly where Loupe was.Halfway to the prairion the big fellowtrotted out onto a sentinel rock and stoodthere a few moments looking back up to-ward the den and probing the current ofcold ground-air that was flowing downfrom a lofty snowfield to the northwest.Then he was off again, after his big kill,and the ravens went with him, flying fromsnag to snag.

The sun had slanted down behind the

distant peakline and the slow twilightwas creeping out of the canyon-like valleys and spreading up the mountainslopes. From a hundred points within earshot of the snag the quiet, flute-like vesper song of the golden-crown sparrowsbegan arising. The man winced as helistened, remembering other times, happier times—the early years of his marriage, before he suddenly found himselfalone, with the two little ones. Poignantlythe twilight calling reminded him of thecottage at Resolution, his assayer job,and how at evening he and Paula listened to the golden-crowns on the granite swells behind their home. Out of the

depths of his loneliness the notion occurred to him that the untimely deathwhich had visited that cottage at Resolution had been not unlike the visit of

this rogue grizzly. As unexpected as itwas pitiless.

As he got up and flung a stone at afox, he became aware that a family ofgray jays were quarreling at somethingfive hundred yards out toward the chimney rock, and with the glasses he sweptthe gulley-cut slope in that direction. Thebrush and "balancing boulders" kept himfrom seeing the slope very well, but afterwatching a while he decided that thetrouble out yonder, whatever it was, couldhardly be a thousand-pound bear.

He turned the binoculars down the

mountain, and as he waited for the wolfto show up on the prairion he got tothinking about the boarding home at FortSmith and wondering how things werethere with the two little folk. Recently hehad been wondering a lot about that.Motherless and among strangers, theirdaddy hard-rocking around back in theLaird ranges after a will-o-the-wisp fortune—were they beginning to realize theywere parentless and homeless? It coulddo things to a small child, that feelingof being different from other children. Ofbeing a waif, unwanted.

"A lot of room I've got to talk," hethought, "about that wolf down yonderfor going after a caribou. What am I after

but the big kill? I could have kept myjob, made a home for 'em somehow."

In a little while he began thinkingthat Loupe should have reached themeadow and that something had delayedthe wolf. He looked for the ravens andwhen he finally spotted them he was surprised to see they were only a few thousand yards down the mountain and werecoming back—a sure indication thatLoupe had abandoned his hunt and wasreturning.

"What the devil?" he muttered. Aminute later he caught sight of the wolfagain—heading up the slope at a deadgallop, straight for the den. The bigtawny appeared to be hackled up andsnarling, and the man in all his days hadnever seen a wolf^or any other creaturecover broken ground in such a wild,breakneck fashion—tearing through thebuckbrush, leaping wide gullies and taking the traprock slides like a bighorn atfull flight.

A SUSPICION struck him and he hurriedly swept the slope to the north

again with liis glasses. Though he still sawnothing of the shaggy silver-tip, he feltpositive tlie bear was out tliere somewhere. likely approaching the den craftily, out of habit. Either Loupe had seenthe brute or else the heavy smell of it haddrifted down to him on that river or snow-field air. Nothing except the dreadedgrizzly couki have turned the wolf backfrom tiis big kill. Nothing else could bebringing him back up the mountain atthat lu-aclJong clii).

Then, jarringly, he sighted the bear.Not more tiiaii a hundred yards distant,it came clambering out of a deep washand trundling toward the jack])ine.

His good sense warned him to get awayfrom the den, ease back through theboulders and take himself out of the picture. while he still coiild. In the battlelooming up between Loupe and the bearthe wolf didn't stand a chance on earth;he would get mauled and killed, like hismate, and ihen what? A half-ton grizzly,meat hungry, its blood uj) after a fight,and himself with nothing but the ptarmigan loads for his gun . . . But he madeno move to leave. Still at a dead gallop,the wolf swung past the den and withoutwavering or jtausing went charging outto meet the grizzly and try to turn it; andit was something about the wolf—hisstark courage, his going certainly to hisdeath against an enemy seven times hissize—that made the man slay.

When the bear saw Loiii)e it stoppedand reared up, evidently to see how manyfoes it had lo deal with. It seemed to bean old hand al raiding dens and knewthat a ring attack by several determinedwolves could be punishing. But when itsaw only the one defender it droppeddown and came on. The man was nearenough, crouching behind his rock, thathe could hear its low. piglike grunting. Itdid not aitpcar particularly hostile towardthe wolf, as yet. just hungrily intent on

the mess of cubs which it had seen whenit killed the she-wolf.

Feinting lunges, the wolf circled thebear several times, keeping out of reachof its deadly, claw-armed swipes. A heelbite was his only way of getting at hishuge enemy and presently he went flashing in for one—a quick snap and wrenchand back out again. The bear growledfrom the pain of the bite but its massive,thick-furred hock was proof against hamstringing. Surprisingly nimble for soheavy an animal, it pivoted around andswung at Loupe. Missing him, it turnedand lumbered on for the den, as unstoppable as a rolling granite boulder.

The hopelessly uneven fight movednearer and nearer the jackpine, and theman cursed his helplessness as hewatched. He could see that with everyyard of his retreat Loupe was gettingmore desperate, taking more chances.Each time the wolf lunged in he held hisbreath till Loupe got safely back outagain. It seemed to him that the bear'sfearful swipes were missing by next tonothing, and he knew that inevitably oneof them would catch Loupe and send himtumbling, torn and bone-broken.

The fight reached the patch of crow-berry where the she-wolf had made herlast-ditch stand, and there Loupe failedto get back safely from a lunge and bile.The man swore and fingered his .410itchingly as he saw the wolf get hit androlled. It was no solid smash but a glancing swipe across the haunch, and Loupewas up again almost instantly. But theblow left him shaken up and visiblyslowed. In a vicious temper now from theheel biles, the grizzly rush at him to finishhim off. Loupe got away and the bearturned again and made for the burrow.

The cubs had fled into the den andwere slaying there, terrified by the snarling and growling of the battle. The threeravens had returned to the snag and froma dead limb above the den they werewatching the fight with macabre eagerness, expecting a feast one way or other,lo the man they looked like grotesquecheer-leaders as they kept side-hoppingalong the limb and flipping iheir wingsand uttering a hoarse kwank-kwank-kwareece!

On the apron of dirt the wolf, unsteadyand ]im))ing a little, lunged in for a lasttime, and got hit again, hit solidly, andknocked against a juniper bush a dozenfeet away. He struggled up, nearly helpless. a left haunch torn and bleeding fromthe savage swipe. When the bear went forhim that time he was too dazed and groggy to escaije. He could only crouch andsnarl and wait for his death defiantly.

Without stopping to think or tote upthe consequences, the man whipped uphis gun, took a quick but careful aim andshot- it was like something he could nothelp doing. All along he had told himselfthat he was going to keep strictly out ofthe battle, bui when he saw the bearmaking for Loupe his gun seemed tocome up by itself and he leveled, aimed

the weapon and shot instinctively.At the flash and bark of the .410 the

bear jack-knifed entirely off the ground,with a great roar of pain and rage. Forseveral moments it writhed and twisted,clawing at its hind parts—the one sensitive spot, acutely sensitive, of its big,hulking body. Its explosive roar was soloud and fearsome that the ravens jumpedhigh off the limb and flapped away anda fox which had been sidling up closestreaked off like a blur of red.

When the bear got over its twistingand clawing, it reared up to its fullheight, ignoring the wolf, and glaredaround to locate its other enemy. Theman had half risen to get in his shot, andwas throwing a fresh shell into the chamber of the .410, and the bear saw him.With another roar it dropped down andcharged.

Thinking in swift flashes, the mancoolly waited. He had heard fellows sayit was like that; when you suddenlyfound yourself looking at death asthrough a thin pane of glass, you wereincredibly cool, you could think like oneof those whirring calculator machines.He had not planned any gun tacticsagainst the grizzly; in fact, he had notplanned to argue with that ugly bigcustomer in any way whatever. Butwhen the bear dropped down and camefor him, he found himself thinking fast,planning fast and deciding exactly whathe would do and exactly when.

HIS thought was to try and disable thebrute, in spite of having only the

light shells. Two shots at close quarterscould do the business. But they had to beright. At the right split second. In theexact right places.

His rock was a scant seventy-five feetfrom the jackpine, and the bear wascoming at a gallop, but he waited, waited,gun butt against his cheek, aiming, wait-ing. The grizzly's head looked to himbigger than a bushel basket and the darkish eye-patches were as plain a targetas a person could ask for.

He took his first shot when the bearwas only about forty feet from him. Withthe flash of the .410 the grizzly lurchedagainst a rock, pawed at its right eye-patch, but then came on. The man fineddown on the left patch and shot again,with the bear hardly thirty feet in frontof the gun muzzle.

As he leaped up. whirled and startedrunning, lie had a flitting glimpse of thehuge, shaggy animal barging on towardhim, and for a brief little eternity hethought that his second shot hadn't scattered enough, at that pointblank range,and he'd maybe missed that left eye-patch.

But the terrible roaring didn't followhim. As he ducked behind a rock andslammed in a fresh shell, he saw thebear crash head-on, blindly, against theboulder where he himself had beencrouching a few seconds ago. It didn'tcome on, chasing him. It didn't know

where he was. It couldn't see him. Itcouldn't see anything. Still roaring, itwas squatting on its hind legs and swiping all around, smashing and demolishing everything within reach. But it wasswiping around blindly now, in the groping blackness of its sudden night.

The man silently reloaded. He was directly up wind from the bear and only adozen steps away, but he figured it waswise to sit tight rather than try to escape.The bear might hear him. It still hadears and nose to guide it, and it couldcover ground fast, blind or no.

As he waited, wondering what wouldcome next, he caught sight of the wolf,slipping around through the deerbrushbelow the den and watching. The bigtawny was limping and bleeding but heappeared to have no disabling wounds.The man flung an oath at him for leavingthe cubs and then an oath at himself fortangling with a huge rogue grizzly. It wasa crazy chance for a man to take. Especially when two little folk over at FortSmith hadn't anybody on earth to lookout for them except himself. Even livingin that lonely, savage country, with itsavalanches, rock slides, blizzards and theconstant danger of accident or sickness,was a gamble he had no right taking. Inthe mountains anything could happen;you never knew what or when. You wentout to get a couple of ptarmigans andyou wound up battling a grizzly for yourlife.

As he had feared, the bear finallycaught his scent. At once it stopped itsroaring, its aimless swiping around, andstarted toward him. Not with the lungeand rush he had expected but slowly,stalking him—reaching out with one pawand then with the other, almost cat-like.A tense hush fell, except for the golden-crowns. Again the man waited, gun up,reasoning he had a better chgnce if hedidn't run. His hobs clattering on thestones would be a give-away. He figuredthat after the bear got close and heemptied his gun at it, he could still dodgeand run—if he had to.

But he didn't believe he'd have to run.At an ordinary distance the scatterloadsof the .410 were hopeless against a biggrizzly, but at muzzle point they couldtear a pretty fearful hole. Two or threeshots, placed right, could blow the bear'sbrains out.

The grizzly came on, step by slow step,and its crafty silence was a little morehair-raising to the man than its roaringhad been. He waited a few seconds more,with a steely grip on himself, till hecould have tossed a pebble into the grizzly's open mouth. Then he played his lastcard. As fast as he could work the boltand shoot, he poured in his full clip, sixshots, into that open maw.

He was set to jump and run, but itwasn't necessary. His first blast stoppedthe bear cold. As he pumped in the restof his shots tlie grizzly sagged and cavedin and then slowly toppled over. Thrashing and clawing, it went rolling down the

slope, lodged against a rock near thejackpine, and gradually quieted. . . .

When he was sure it was good anddead, the man walked down past it tothe burrow. The cubs were huddled together at the back end and he couldn'tquite reach them. So he found a straight,slender stick, poked it in. and got a furtwist on one of the cubs and pulled itout.

As he patted the little thing and gentled away its panic, he saw Loupe pacingback and forth in the deerbrush andwatching him anxiously. He called down:"Take it easy, fellow. You've still gotplenty of 'em left. This one is my cut. Iknow a little person that needs a pup. I'mtaking it to him, myself. You can have

' this country; me. I'm getting out."He stepped up to the bear and fixed

things with his hunting knife so thatthe cubs would have no trouble gettingat the meat. Then he turned towardhome. But he got only as far as the hogback when the heebeejeebies struck him.They came on so hard that he had to sitdown on a rock, shaking all over, his legslike rubber, sweat running down his face.

In a short while a fuzzy head appearedat the mouth of the wolf den. Thenothers edged out. sniffling the air. smelling meat. In a couple of minutes allseven of them were outside, rushingaround madly. One by one they found thehuge windfall of food, and the man could

hear tlieir tiny growling and spit-figliting.The cub that he had stuck inside hisshirt began to wiggle around, and as hepatted it quiet he could imagine a littlefellow at Fort Smith showing it to theother kids. "Looky what my daddybrought me! It's a wolf pup. My daddybrought it from 'way back in the mountains. My daddy . .."

Yes. they'd have a daddy again and ahome again, his two tykes. The mountains could keep their will-o-the-wispfortunes, their bitter disappointments.He'd had enough.

In spite of the gathering twilight thethree ravens presently returned, alongwith the foxes and the carcajou. Thebear's carcass was drawing them in dangerously close, and the man was relievedwhen finally the wolf came back and tookcharge. At Loupe's show of fangs thefoxes fled, the carcajou slunk off, theravens on the dead limb side-hopped andkwanked disappointedly.

"Okay, fellow, it's all yours now," theman said, getting up. The rubber wasout of his legs and he felt steady again."Just don't pitch off after any more bigkills and leave your fuzzies by themselves."

terprise. The situation was easy to solve.Conveniently, they had brought along ajug of mescal. There was a full moon thatnight, huge and orange as it rose overthe tropical water.s. Our friends didn'twaste so lovely a night sleeping. As welay in our tent we heard them until themoon was high overhead strumming theirguitars and singing—and, quite likely,sampling the mescal. All the next daythey slei)t in the shade. There was noproblem.

We fished for three days, while thePescadores slept the days away and sangthe nights out, and we filled the hold oftheir little fishing vessel with robalo. seatrout and redfish. We estimated that wegave them a ton and a half of robaloalone. I'm not proud of my part in killing so many game fish, but, I have toadmit, it was fun.

The Mexicans and the natives of theCaribbean have long (considered thesefish a delicacy, but it was in comparatively recent times that the snook becamecommercially important in Florida. Fiftyyears ago, Jordan and Evermann writingin their famous "American Food andGame Fishes," remarked that at KeyWest the snook was "little valued asfood." As I understand it. someone eventually discovered that if a snook wasskinned prior to cooking, the flavor wasmuch improved: then things changed.

Snook rarely appears under it? own nameon the restaurant bill-of-fare. Usually itis sold as "red snapper," a subterfugebut not too serious a one since its fleshis almost as firm, white and flakey as thatwhich has made the true snapper a favorite table delicacy. In any case, the daythis was discovered was a black one forthe snook and the sport fisherman. Commercial fishing in Florida is carried outto an intense degree today, and peopleacquainted with the situation over aperiod of time have seen an enormousdecrease in the snook population as aresult so that it has become a seriousconservation problem.

I have never seen snook fishing inFlorida to compare in volume with thatat Eighth Pass, Mexico, although it undoubtedly once existed. Even today,though, there is much that in its ownway is just as exciting. The best of allwas on the beach near Naples. Florida, afew years ago. Conditions were right andstayed right for several days. The glassminnows had gathered in numerous smallpatches and the wind blew gently out ofthe east if at all. No one could have askedfor more fascinating fishing. The snookwere cruising and they were big. and thewater was clear. Even with clear water,though, a fisherman must be alert andhave keen eyes to spot them, especiallyif they are cruising twenty or thirty yards

out. Occasionally ihey work right in tothe beach, poking their flat noses into thegentle breakers where they lap thesmooth sands: then they are easy to see,but they are jii.st as easily startled awayby a quick or careless motion.

the fish or behind them where it willstartle them into deep water. It shouldland in their path eight or ten feet ahead,temptingly close and yet far enough awaynot to spook them. Then watch out! Theywill race for it, almost too fast to see themotion, and the fun is on.

We had more than our share of thisbeach fishing, with just enough snookcruising by to keep us continually onedge and just demanding enough to makeit interesting. And besides the snook,

j there were other plug-hungry fish forvariety: jacks, ladyfish, sea trout, redfish,and, most exciting of all, an occasionalbig beach-cruising tarpon. The tarponappear darker in the water than snookand ominous because of their huge size.We hooked a few and had the thrill of

I that first breath-taking leap, but that wasall. They didn't stay around. A fewsharks and rays came by, too, but theyare easy to spot and avoid because theylook black in the water, much darkerthan any game fish.

With snook accounted for up to twentypounds, we thought we had seen everything, but the show was only starting. Upuntil that time the glass minnows hadappeared as only small gray patcheshere and there along the beach; then onemorning we discovered an enormousschool of them. The glass minnow is sonamed because it is virtually transparent.Only the eye and part of the digestivetract are opaque; yet there were so manymillions of tliem concentrated in that onemass that the water was black with themover an area that must have been an acrein size. Around the edges of the blackswarm, jacks, ladyfish, sea trout andsnook churned the water as they feastedon them. Outside these were the bigsnook, the redfish and the tarpon slashing into the smaller fish and the niinnoWs.In still deeper water beyond them hovered porpoise. Occasionally these wouldplow into a school of marauding snook,sending a shower of them into the air,just as the snook had scattered thefrantic minnows. Each in its turn waseating something smaller—or being eatenby another a size larger.

Over a period of a couple of days wesaw this vast swarm of minnows gradually but steadily diminish in size as theywere devoured. Millions vanished beforeour eyes, fodder for larger fish, and undoubtedly this same drama was beingenacted elsewhere along the shore. Lifeis the dearest possession of the indi-

; vidual, whether it is man, beast or glassiminnow, but it also is the cheapest com

modity of all. In the sea it is a never-ending cycle of kill and be killed.

Of course, everyone with a rod andreel was in there pitching, doing his partto add to the confusion, although a punyartificial lure didn't make much impression among such an abundance of naturalfood. The awesome spectacle was interesting more from a spectator viewpointthan from that of an active fisherman.

There was a local fisherman, however,a commercial netter, who wasn't slow intaking an active interest. Early the nextmorning he ran a net completely aroundthe swarming fish and pulled them flopping onto the beach. I thought that wehad made a terrible kill years before atEighth Pa.ss. but our efforts had been insignificant. The experience of the greatconcentration of glass minnows was newto me, but not to this commercial fisherman. He knew what he was doing. Everywhere along the beach that the minnowsappeared, he ran his net and made ahaul. The snook were fat with roe that

time of year, and the toll he took—notonly at the moment but for the future—was appalling. As efficient as the killersof the sea are, there is none so deadlyas man.

No one could logically blame the particular netter. He was doing no morethan the law allowed. He was out to makea living—and he was doing it, all right.The fact stands that he killed more fishin two or three days than a thousandwinter visitors could do all season. Hewas to blame for one thing. With eachhaul of the net lie brought in manyrough fish—ladyfish, needlefish and thelike—along with the merchantable fish.These are food for future snook, tarponand redfish—his future as well as thatof the sport fisherman—but in his hasteto make another haul he left them in apile to struggle, die and rot on the beach.The actions of some people are governedby law alone and it was his legal right tokill everything his net would hold. Hedid it well.

That ended it, of course, and there maynever be another such concentration ofsnook. But, as efficient as he was, thenetter didn't get them all. There are stillcalm days in the spring when the bigones cruise the beaches. The plug-casterwho is on hand to take part in such aday is lucky. Maybe he will land onlyone of these big silver-sided fish, but hewill have something long to remember.A snook hits hard, runs fast and jumpshigh. He has everything it takes to makea day a fisherman will never forget.

Boom in Boats(Continued from page 11)

ing has been the same since. Boat Fever.When we emerged from the Crow s-

nest we were completely bereft of asubstantial sum of cash. However, wehad prepared by opening a chargeaccount. A partial list of the apparatus

we had acquired follows: a plastic casefor carrying charts (you don't use mapson a boat, you use charts), a magnifyingglass with a built-in spot light, a wirefrying pan frame with disposable aluminum pans, a galley pan with three

compartments, a mahogany wall rackfor glasses, three dozen plastic glasses,a wall rack for a salt and pepper set, awall rack for spices, a wall rack forbooks, a square skillet, a plastic bottle,a stainless steel ice pick, a foldinggarbage gadget, two folding yacht chairs,two clothes hammocks, a stainless steelbean bag, ash trays, a special towelrack, a set of plastic nautical typedishes, a nautical table cloth, a floating key-holder, a special magnet to fishout tools that fall in the bilge, a newtype mooring buoy, a canvas sea bucket,a supply of signal flares, a rubberjacketed flashlight, a waterproof nylonfoul weather suit, two pairs of Kleets, aspecial deck shoe . . . but why go on.The idea is clear. And this, our firstshopping tour, occurred before the boatwas even in the water!

When the boat finally did get in thewater we avoided swamping by returning half a truckload of accumulatedgear. Actually, it's surprising how few"extras" you really need.

The first trip as master of your owncraft can be an exciting business

even after you have the usual test runswith an experienced skipper. The fellowwe bought our boat from was so busyselling boats he had no time for instructing beginners. He did show mewhere the engine was and where to putthe gas in. By dogging his heels forseveral hours, I was able to nag him intogiving me five minutes of instruction onthe water. Half of this was devoted toadmonishing me not to fight the wheel."Let her sail herself," he said airily.The rest of the lesson consisted inshowing me how to come up to a dock.The main point was to head into thewind, he said. This time it didn't workbecause if we had headed into the wind,which was blowing quite hard, we wouldhave been going away from the dockinstead of toward it. Anyhow, somethingmust have gone wrong because wesmashed into tlie dock so hard my teethchattered.

"Well, you get the idea," said mybusy instructor. After that we were onour own.

Next afternoon Pat and I made ourfirst cruise solo. When you first put tosea, or for that matter, to lake or bayor river, the chances are you've spentsome time beforehand studying the appropriate charts. I had—for hours.Nevertheless, I had one before me now—just in case. I cast off the spring lines,ran over the location of the life jackets,noted that the anchor light was off,checked my burgee for wind direction,had a second can of beer, assured myself that the gear was in neutral, thethrottle and choke in proper position.Then I moistened my lips and pressedthe starter button. Nothing happenedexcept a grinding noise which remindedme of the last time my automobilewouldn't start—the time it cost $97.65

to fix it. "What has happened now?" Iwondered.

A half-hour later, after checking andrechecking everything from the gas tankto the anchor, I discovered that I hadfailed to turn on the ignition key. Thisis about par. Some beginners discover itin ten minutes, a few take an hour. HereI also made my first of a series of discoveries, all tending to prove that boatsare not automobiles. The starter on amodern car won't work if the ignitionisn't turned on. The starter on a boatwill, but the engine will not.

Now with the engine purring I cast oflFthe last lines, put the gear in reverseexpecting to back out of the slip ashandily as I back out of my garage. Butinstead of backing straight out, I foundthe stern swinging to starboard andthe entire craft drifting rapidly to portwhere someone had thoughtlessly mooreda fifty-footer. Yelling to my wife to fendoff the impending collision with a boathook, I attempted to retrieve the situation by slamming the gear to forwardposition and gunning the engine, meanwhile spinning the wheel hard to starboard. The boat gave a responsive leap,all right, but it didn't leap to starboard,not by about ten feet. It leapt straightahead where a formidable 18-inch thickpiling buttressed the edge of the dock.

At this point, I really wished I washome in bed but several of the "this-ain't-no-automobile" lessons had beenlearned. One is that a single screw boatis about as unpredictable in reverse (until you know her well) as a rodeobronco. It tends to swing with the direction of the propeller. Another lesson wasthat water is no highway. There aretides and currents and winds that willmove a boat in spite of its engine. Thethird lesson was that an auto steers fromthe front and response to a turn of thesteering wheel is instantaneous. A boatsteers from the rear and the response isdelayed. When you gun the engine andspin the wheel you'll travel quite a fewfeet straight ahead before the powerresponds.

Well, somehow, with the aid of thehelpful boating fraternity—who quicklyrally to a colleague in difficulty, plus abenevolent Providence, the neophyteskipper—as I did—maneuvers his craftout of the congested area into more orless open water. Here is when the boatbug first bites him, but good. Temporarily free of the dangers of imminentcollision, with his prow knifing throughthe clear blue water, with his wakewhite and churning, if not exactlystraight, he becomes indeed master of alittle world of his own. The passengers(one nervous wife and two awed kids)look to him for leadership; on his seamanship may depend their survival. Asskipper he is boss, the law supreme. Hecan and does shout orders and has them

obeyed for everyone knows that he cannever leave his solemn duty at the wheel.Here the lore and law of the sea confer

upon him a stature—a grandeur—he cannever achieve in his job or his home.And best of all, this a wife senses inher man and her belief in his importance is finally realized. By some alchemyhe has at last become the guy shethought he was when she married him.

A man with his first boat is as giddyas a small-fry Davy Crockett with hisfirst coon-skin cap. He goes overboardin several directions at once but in his

eagerness to master the art of seamanship he goes overboard particularly onprinted matter. My boat, "Muchachita,"was not yet in the water and I was noexception. Convinced that the lore ofthe sea lay for me between the coversof something or other, I really stockedup. I started out simply enough with abook on how to operate a boat. Before I'dread the first chapter I realized I shouldknow the time of the tides and im

mediately dispatched a runner to getme a copy of the Coast and GeodeticSurvey tide tables. This gave me preciseinformation on the exact minute of highand low tide for every day of the year atf-uch places as Recife, Brazil, and Como-doro Rivadavia, Argentina, for whichI was grateful but not exactly thrilled.It also gave the information for WilletsPoint. New York. This gave me somecomfort for "Muchachita" was to be

moored only a few miles from there. (Itwasn't until some months later that I dis

covered the time of high tide at WilletsPoint was not even remotely close to thetime of high tide at Muchachita. Thisgap I bridged by buying still anotherbook, handsomely illustrated, calledTidal Current Charts.)

Another of my original purchases wasa tome called the "United States CoastPilot" which informed me. among otherthings, that the Minnesota River entersthe Mississippi 1.808.0 miles above llieHead of Passes. But it did not tell me

where is the Head of Passes so I couldn'tutilize this information. It also told me

the hours a certain drawbridge on theAcushnet River in Massachusetts willopen at my toot. That is, it would openif my boat was big enough to drawfifteen feet of water. My boat draws IV2feet of water and a couple of times that sbeen too much. This book, incidentally,is j)articularly handy when used with asupplement which lists 68 pages ofchanges and modifications in the originalvolu me.

Naturally, I couldn't face the idea ofgoing out in a boat unless I was? on thelist of the Navy Department's Hydro-grapiiic Office to receive the weekly"Nniice to Mariners." and I had to armmyself with the official "Pilot Rules torAtlantic and inland Waters." This wasfree. There is another book givingsimilar information which costs S5.00

and which I miraculously managed toresist. I purchased the "Inland Waterway Guide" just in case thi- notionstruck me to pack the family into the22-f()oter and lake off for Florida. I got

a pampiilet on weather forecasting IRedat night, sailors delight; red in themorning, sailors take warning), and for10 cents a treatise on the hurricanewhich was most informing about everything except what I should do if suddenly I found myself in the eye of same..

The rest of my sea library was a bookon navigation which turned out to befull of things that looked like logarithms(whatever they are), a pamphlet oncloud forms which contained many pictures of you know what, and a bookletwhich gives all the symbols on nauticalcharts and says what they mean. Thereare more than 650 of these symbols andabbreviations. You have to know whatthey mean before you can read a chartand you have to read a chart to knowwhere you think you are. Wouldn't youfeel siliy to be cruising in a dense fogfeeling your way with chart and compassand encountered the initials P.D. on thechart and not to know it means PositionDoubtful.

That was all my reading matter except for a 500-page volume called

'"Piloting, Seamanship and Small BoatHandling" by a painstaking fellow namedCharles Y. Chapman who is regarded inthe boating fraternity somewhat as themore superstitious early Romans regarded Jupiter. What Mr. Chapmanomitted to say about boating could besummed up in two words— noth ing.He even included a sixteen-page nauticaldictionary which enables one to tell acat from a cat block from a cat boatfrom a cat-harpin from a cat head froma cat's paw, should such a desire everovertake one.

Obviously, the owners of not all ofthe 5,600,000 pleasure craft which arethe measure of the boating craze haveacquired as much literature as I have.But these include everything from acanoe to a 150-foot yacht, and the canoeand row boat boys don't need a library.More than 800,000 of these 5.6 millionare cruisers, or boats with sleepingfacilities. It is in this class that theboating boom has been most notable.With a cruiser a man isn't tied to

night's ashore. He can take off for twodays or for two weeks. At the very least,he has groceries aboard, a stove, a refrigerator, a private toilet. The bunksmake up into berths, often covered withluxuriously comfortable foam rubber. Insome cases the bunks become a real

double bed. Thus equipped, a man cancontemplate a cruise that begins, say atNew'York, and includes visits to Cleveland, Detroit, Chicago and Duluth. Or hecan take off for Florida and New Orleans

—or for Kansas City, for that matter.Most important, he can cruise these

great distances without encountering thehazards of the open ocean. A trip beginning at the Mexican Border, at themouth of the Rio Grande, follows theprotected Gulf Intracoastal Waterwayto. Florida. There begins the InlandWaterway which follows the AtlanticCoast northward. At New York, theHudson River leads to the Great Lakes.Along the entire 6,000 mile route fromBrownsville to Duluth there are only26 miles of open ocean.

Nearly 30,000 cruiser owners havejoined some 190 branches of the 42-yearold United States Power Squadrons,membership in which has increased arecord 11 per cent a year since 1949.These squadrons sponsor a S500,000-a-year education program on pilotingsafety and seamanship which in themetropolitan New York area alone had4,200 students enrolled last winter. Another 15,000 have joined the Coast GuardAuxiliary which not only sponsorsclasses, too, but provides free safety inspection for any boat owner requestingit.

What the total effect on the boat crazewill be on the U. S. economy no onecan now foresee but it has alreadysparked a brand new industry which isone of the most flourishing in the country. Tliis is the business of operatingmarinas.

A marina consists of large strings offloating docks which can berth far moreboats than separate moorings. They havefresh water and electric outlet connections for each ship; they can supply aboat with most of its needs including

gasoline or diesei fuel, ice and amechanic. They also provide restaurantservice, and the more plush of them,particularly in Florida and California,are fully and beautifully landscaped andinclude, inevitably, a luxurious swimming pool.

These marinas can run into money. Areally big job which would accommodate500 boats would require an investmentof §500,000. But smaller jobs are paying off handsomely in popular boatingareas. Within a year of opening, a welllocated marina can be expected to beoperating at capacity and taking inmaximum profits. Even in northernwaters where the active season is onlysix months, the take is handsome. Amajor reason is boatmen aren't stingywhere their yachting pleasure is concerned. This is their fun and they are%villing to spend something on it. And,too, they usually have the money. Another factor is the marina reaches theirpocketbook in a dozen ways. Mooringrentals, repairs and dry storage arebasic. But food and beverage sales, supplies, gasoline, hauling and launchingfees, marine insurance, sale of secondhand and new boats, all keep the cashregister ringing merrily.

But despite the efforts of scores of enterprising marina barons the need for

marinas is steadily increasing. In someplaces applicants must wait two to threeyears to get a mooring at a public dock.In California only the foolhardy wouldpurchase a boat before lining up a placeto berth it. Indeed, the need is so greatthat a boat manufacturers' associationhas issued an elaborate 64-page brochurewhich tells in enticing detail how to getinto the marina business. The outboardpeople have a similar booklet, completewith blueprints.

The fact that there are now almost one-tenth as many pleasure boats in theU. S. as there are automobiles is one indication of the growing boat congestion.But the significant fact is that all theseboats are buzzing around on their ownwith virtually no traffic cops to mindthem. This adds measurably to thehazards of boating. Boatmen generallyare pretty responsible people but thereare enough water cowboys around to putyour heart in your throat from time totime. One day last summer we werecruising in Long Island Sound with astiff breeze and whitecaps making mewish I'd stayed in bed. Few boats wereout and I was concentrating heavily onkeeping my prow into the wind at justthe angle that produced the least pitchand roll. Suddenly a thirty-five footerdoing about eighteen knots passed mewithin ten feet. He was so close I wasalmost swamped in his wake before Icould cut my engine and come about.It was a moment of really seriousdanger.

Now there was a square mile of waterin which we were the only two boats and

this guy not only had to pass dangerouslyclose, he didn't even slow down to reducehis wake. If I had had a gun I wouldhave shot him as a menace to navigation and not a jury of boatmen in thecountry would have convicted me.

There are, of course, rules of conductfor any given situation but the onlypractical enforcement behind them is ahard look. There are no drivers licenses,no tests of competence. The Coast Guardsimply issues the craft a number andaway it goes. Happily, the anarchy issoon to come to an end. In New York

State, for example, a legislative committee is now preparing a code of lawsregulating boating. Such regulations willdoubtless soon be universally adopted.

Not long ago boating was essentiallya sport for men. Only the largest boatshad the facilities that appeal to womenand at best their bunks were uncomfortable. Boats were built to be sturdy orfast or dependable or maneuverablequalities with which men are mainlyconcerned. Nowadays, stock boat builders care almost nothing about what theman wants. They are designing boatsfor women with emphasis on privacyand convenience and shelf space and afunctional galley. Most of the smallestcruisers now have a private toilet andmany of them include a wash bowl. Stallshowers are being built into the mediumsize boats. So far as facilities go thelarger boats are no less convenient thana well equipped home.

Since boating has become a familyaffair there is no question that it ishere to stay. A family of five with agood cruiser which likes to travel nolonger need to contemplate the nation'sjam-packed highways. There is a vastnew world awaiting them wherever theygo. Life on a boat is never dull and it iscompletely relaxing from ordinary cares.

Moreover, a family which follows theusual pattern will trade in its boat for abigger one every few years (good boatsdepreciate far less rapidly than automobiles). By the time the kids have grownup and mama and papa are ready toretire they can sell off the old homestead and live on the boat. When theyget tired of being in one place they justtouch the starter button and headwherever they like without one thoughtabout rent and taxes.

That s the way it will be for me. ComeR Day we're heading for Captain Bill'sdown at Marathon in the Florida Keys.We'll moor up there awhile and lollaround his big swimming pool and talkgood boat talk. We've never yet been atBill's long enough to tire of it but ifthat should happen we'll just mosey overto the Bahamas and contemplate thatcrystal blue water, those magnificentbeaches on a jillion islands, with theworld's finest game fishing, just by tossing over a hook and line.

From where I sit this sounds like apretty good program—worth a try anyhow. My gosh! What have I got to lose?

To The Man With

HERNIA

Who Can Not SubmitTo Surgery

The man condemned to live with rupturefaces a grim future.

There is only one known cure . . . surgicalcorrection. Yet, for many, this relief must bedenied or delayed. That leaves only one question in the mind of the hernia sufferer: "WhatKind of a truss should I wear?" Until recentlythere was no choice. The only truss made — asteel and leather contraption—gouged into yourabdomen and rubbed your skin raw. It was uncomfortable, bulky and expensive.

Now a New Way to Snpport HerniaLess than two years ago a man who had suf

fered from hernia himself devised a new kindof support. It Is revolutionary. There are nosteel springs. No leather. No hard, gougingknobs. No unsightly bulk. "RUPTURE-GARD"Is suspended from the waist. It is comfortableto wear as a pair of trousers — and just as easyto slip on or off.

WORKSHOPSoldenng^Handiest of a Handyman's Tricks.

BY HARRY WALTON

ONE of the most useful techniquesanyone can master—and anyone

can—is soft soldering. This is the joiningof metal parts with a molten alloy oflead and tin. You'll find it useful in all

kinds of jobs, from mending a brokentoy to repairing a leaky roof gutter, in•wiring a hi-fi set, building a model railroad, making custom jewelry, or patching a hole in a garbage pail.

If you've tried to solder, only to seetlie metal slirink away instead of clinging to the pieces it was to join, you probably overlooked some simple rule. Soldering is really easy; here's all it takes:

• Clean work. Solder can bond onlyto metal. All rust, paint, grease, insula-lion and the like must ])e removed.

• The right flux. Oxygen in tlie airforms a film of oxide on metal, off whichsolder rolls like water from an oiled plate.Flux is an active chemical that removes

the oxide and keeps more from forming.• The right solder. Any standard

brand will do. You can buy it in bar,strip or wire form for use with separateflux, or in tlie shape of hollow wire thathas the flux right inside. Aluminum requires a special solder.

• Ample heat. Unlike cements, solderdoes not merely stick to the surface. Itpartly dissolves into the metal beneath,and for this the work itself must beraised to solder-melting temperature.

CHOOSE YOUR IRON. Altlioughsome soldering can be done with a flame,most requires a soldering "iron" (thebusiness end is actually copper). Thecheapest is the kind you heat on thekitchen range, but an electric one is moreconvenient. For radio, electrical andhobby work, a 75-watl iron is adequate.If you plan to do larger work, makethings of sheet metal, or repair household articles, get a 100-watt or 150-wattiron.

Cored solder comes with either acidor rosin flux inside. Acid flux is quick-acting and better for general work, but

52

its residue must be washed off, or it willeventually corrode the parts. For thisreason, acid-core solder should never be

used for electric or radio wiring. Userosin-core solder for this; its residue isharmless.

If you buy solid (uncored) solder, getseparate flux. It comes in fluid, paste orpowder form.

Pliers, a file, a scraper or wire brush,sandpaper or steel wool, and a piece ofasbestos board or an asbestos shingle toprotect your workbench will be useful.Cut the bottoms and tops out of a coupleof small tin cans to practice on.

NOW TIN THE IRON. A new solder

ing iron must be tinned—its tip coatedwitli solder—before it can be used. While

tlie iron is heating, file each of its lipfaces, or rub them on sandpaper, untilclean and bright. As soon as the heatdarkens the copper, touch eacli face withcored solder (or apply separate flux andplain solder). Rub one flat side after another on a tin-can top and feed in moresolder as necessary, until all liave a brightsilvery coating. (Figure 1) If a blob ofsolder clings to the iron, wipe it off witha wadded rag.

In time, es|)ecially if the iron overheats. this coating may burn off. If thishappens, file the tip again and retin it.

NOW TRY A JOINT. Hold the hotiron near the edge of a second can ^opand feed a little cored solder in betweenthe iron and the tin plate. Then rub theiron about to tin an area about longalong the edge.

Turn this over on the spot on the first

can top where you tinned the iron. Pressthe hot iron on the uppermost piece.Wait until you see solder ooze out at theedges. Tlien hold down the top piece withthe end of the file and remove the iron.Keep the parts absolutely still until thesolder has set.

Joining two pieces that have been separately tinned like this is called sweatinga joint. It makes a strong repair.

HOLD EVERYTHING! Sometimesthe work slips as you wait for the solderto harden. In this case, it may suddenlychange from bright silver to a dull grainyappearance. When solder crystallizes thisway, the joint is sure to be weak. Applythe iron again until the solder melts,taking time enough to heat the work too.and try not to let anything shift after youremove the iron. Use tweezers, pliers,weights or wire to hold small or awkward pieces in position.

SOLDERING OTHER METALS.Tin plate is easy to solder because it already has a thin coating of tin. Brass,copper, galvanized iron, monel and steel

FILE0RR0D7O -HOLD WORK DOWN L

TIP OF IRONFLAT AGAINSTWORK PARTS

require a little more care in tinning. Thechief thing to watch is cleanliness; sandpaper. scrape or file the surface rightdown to bare metal.

Experts insist that solder should bea{)plied only to the work, not to the iron.You can cheat on this a bit, however.Hold tlie hot iron with one tip face flatagainst tlie work (it won't transmit heatif tilted up on its point). Wait until thework has heated up; then push the endof tlie .solder into the corner formed bythe iron and the work surface.

Being fluid, the molten solder will conduct heat rapidly from the iron to thework, and the whole job will be donemore quickly. But don't melt solder ontothe iron and then carry it to the work,nor expect to make a joint by drippinghot solder on comparatively cool metal.

Once the solder flows on. move theiron around slowly to spread it. If thesolder remains pasty instead of flowinglike quicksilver, the iron is not hotenough or the job is too big for it. Shouldthe tinning stick only here and there instead of coating the surface uniformly,the work probably was not well cleaned.Too much solder, on the other hand, mayform a lumpy surface; wipe the excessoff with a rag or steel wool while it isstill fluid.

Where the joint area is small, the partsneed not be tinned separately. Hold theiron on one side of the joint and touch

cored solder to the other. (Figure 2) Itshould flow into the joint of itself. Donot use too mucli; excess solder does nogood and may have to be filed or scrapedufi if it proves to be in the way.

HOW TO PLUG HOLES. Leaks indishpans. tanks, pails and so forth canbe closed by soldering, provided you canapply enough heat. It's not the size ofthe patch, but.how much metal there isaround it to dissipate the heat thatcounts. Sometimes you can do a big jobover a gas-stove burner. letting it supplyextra heat while the iron does the actualsoldering.

Very small holes can be sealed by tinning around them, and then wiping afilm of solder over the hole with the iron.Bigger ones can be plugged with a screw,nail or rivet held in by soldering overand around it. (Figure 3) For still largerholes, cut a piece of sheet metal slightlybigger than the opening, tin it and alarger area around the hole, and sweatthe patch in place, running extra solderaround the edges. (Figure 4).

To repair an enamel utensil, carefullyscrape away the enamel right around thehole. Solder to the metal beneath.

USING A TORCH. Some heavy workis best done with a torch. Those having atank of i)ressurized gas are convenient,and can be bought with special solderinglieads. In general, alcohol torches are toosmall for big jobs.

Clean the work area, put on flux ifyou are using uncored solder, and applythe flame near but not directly to the spot(flame hastens oxidation). When thework is hot, apply solder directly to it.Let it How freely; then remove the flame.

Electric wires can be joined with asmall alcoliol torch or an iron. Strip offinsulation cleanly; run stranded wire repeatedly over a knife blade or through afold of sandpaper until every strandglistens. Twist the wires together tightly.A[)ply the flame or the iron, touch rosin-core solder to the wire, and when it flowsfreely into the joint, let the wire cool.

HOW TO SOLDER ALUMINUM.This metal conducts heat away fast. Ittakes a big iron for any but small jobs.Special solder is required; some brandsare flux-filled, others are meant to beused without flux. Read and follow thedirections carefully.

Aluminum solders do not flow on; theyusually must be rubbed in, either with

the bar of solder itself or with an iron.

This mechanical action helps the solderto bond with the aluminum. A strongerjoint is usually made if the aluminum isnot merely cleaned or brightened, butdeeply scratched with a rasp or scraper.

If the second piece is also aluminum,tin it the same way and fuse the partstogether with heat. If the other part is a

metal that will take ordinary solder, tinit with that and then sweat the parts together.

POINTS TO WATCH. Some soldered repairs fail because they lack reinforcement. For instance, soldering a broken rod or stem together end to end isuseless. But if a sleeve made of tubingor rolled up from sheet metal is slippedon both parts and soldered, the joint willhold. (Figure 5).

Wire from old coat hangers can bescraped clean, shaped, and soldered intomany useful objects. But a joint made bysoldering wires where they cross is weak.Form a loop in one, push the otherthrough, and solder the joint as in Figure 6.

Don't solder directly to nickel orchrome plating. Remove the plating andsolder to the base metal beneath.

Never repair food utensils with ordinary lead-tin solder; the lead contentmakes it toxic. An aluminum solder thatcontains no lead is safe for food vessels.

Some toys, jewelry and machine partsare die-cast of alloys that melt at aboutthe same temperature as solder. If youtackle such a job, be careful not to damage the part. A very hot iron, quickly applied to make the joint before heat cansaturate the piece, may turn the trick.

Beware of plastic attachments on apiece you may want to solder; the plasticpart may shrink, swell, change shape oreven melt from the heat.

TRUE TOLERANCEWe are always pleased when we meet

a man who proudly produces an Elkcard that he has held for 25 or 30

years. A casual introduction, recently.led to just such a rewarding experience. It also revealed an insight intothe character of our Order that gavean extra dimension to our own pride in Elkdom.

The gentleman whom we met began lo reminisce abouthis experiences in the Order, which led him to relate thereason why he had become an Elk. As a young man, livingin New York, he had joined several organizations identified with his religious faith and national origin—you know,he said, the groups to which I naturally was attracted bymy background. Then one day, when he was in conversation with an aunt, she gave him some advice. She told hernephew that he ought to join an organization in which hewould brush up against men of other cultural backgrounds,with other points of view, men with whom he would haveto compete socially and intellectually. You should, shesaid, join the Elks.

The lady's advice was, and is, an excellent commentaryon our Order, for it is just as sound today as it was then.In Elkdom, men of diverse religious, social and economicbackgrounds meet, and work and play together, boundtogether by a common devotion to God and to country, yetall completely free to follow and practice their o%vn faithand creed.

True tolerance has surely flo\\ered in the Order of Elks.May it always blossom as sweetly.

"A QUIET PRESS MAY NEED OIL"We ran across an article recently in

thai excellent publication, "The American Lithographer."

Of course, being an article for apublication reaching lithographers, itreferred to a printing press and theadvisability of watching such a ma

chine continuously to be sure that it was not in need ofoil instead of waiting until the press gave notice of its drycondition by some sort of a squeak, if not a more alarmingnotice.

However, it struck us as an expression, a warning, ifvou will, properlv applirable to most anv of the activitiesof life.

A large percentage (if the \merican peofjle today use

54

automobiles. Here, of course, would be an application ofthe expression to a machine needing the same sort of constant attention as does the lithographer's press before avital part has burned out.

How generally do doctors advise people to have periodical check-ups of their physical condition and against waiting for the squeaks or pains that may not have come untila dangerous physical condition has developed.

How about one of the most valuable things in life—afriendship? Do not friendships need constant watching andoiling? How unwise it is to wait until it is evident thatsomething serious has hapj)ened—that the friendship hasgone dry even though it had been going along quietly andseemingly undisturbed.

If the Exalted Ruler of a lodge is to make a success ofhis year in office he must keep the activities of the lodgewell oiled. He will be wise if he watches carefully theinterest and cooperation of his members and does not assume that everything is all right until suddenly the criticism comes, the protests arrive, and it is painfully evidentthat the lodge machine has gone dry and needs oil.

May all of us benefit by keej)ing in mind the quiet pressthat may need oil.

THE FREEPORT PLANWe have been very much interested

in what we have learned recently aboutthe plan that is being followed by Free-port, N. Y., Lodge No. 1253.

On the first meeting night followingan initiation the newly initiated members are the guests, without their

sponsors, at a dinner at the lodge particij)ated in by theofficers of the lodge and some other members.

Someone who is well qualified to do so gives a talk onthe lodge and on the Order. This is followed by an informal question and answer period.

Following this the group tours the lodge building toacquaint new members with its facilities. It is arrangedthat they meet as many members as possible.

On this occasion the initiates are invited to state whatactivities they are mostly interested in and the committeeson which they would like to serve.

It is our understanding that Freeport Lodge plans toextend this system another year by providing for indoctrination prior to initiation. In practice this is coming tobe folloAved by more and more lodges of the Order.

THE BIRTHDAY OF OUR ORDERAs we approach the birthday of our

Order it is appropriate to recall brieflyits accomplishments. Formed onFebruary 16, 1868, by fifteen membersof the "Theatrical, Minstrel, Musicial,Equestrian and Literary Professions"our Order now has a membership of

over 1,150,000.Its founders' aims and purposes were modest compared

with the scope of Elkdom's activities today. It is amongthe greatest benevolent and protective organizations of ourcountry with charitable, community service and patrioticexpenditures of $7,000,000 annually.

The Grand Lodge has over $3,000,000 in assets, notcounting the value of the Elks National Memorial Building.

The 1,750 Subordinate Lodges have assets of over$250,000,000.

Since 1880, when records were started, SubordinateLodge expenditures for charitable, welfare and patrioticwork have amounted to $120,000,000.

The Elks National Home, erected at an initial cost of$450,000, is a real home, consisting of a main building andeight cottages capable of accommodating more than 400residents. At present it is accommodating 300.

When a Brother seeks admission there "Outstretchedhands welcome him and loving hearts administer to hisevery want and need."

♦ ♦ ♦

When our country was drawn into the First World Warthe Grand Lodge approjiriated $1,000,000 for war reliefand Ihe Elks War Relief Commifssion was appointed.

At the following Grand Lodge Session a second $1,000,-000 was appropriated.

In all, the Commission expended $1,371,000, providingbase hospitals, erecting the first reconstruction hospital inthe country and turning it over to the War Department,providing a community house at Camp Sherman, Ohio, andmaking over 40.000 loans to war veterans.

Of this action a representative in Congress said:"The Elks fund thus provided is the first instance ofthe kind in the history of the country where a greatpatriotic, fraternal organization has come to the aidof the Government in so timely, helpful and substantial a manner."

As to the assistance given to the Salvation Army, Commander Evangeline Boothsaid:

"I say without hesitancy that our organization couldnot have achieved its exceptional success in the warbut for the splendid, practical, tangible aid that wasrendered to us by the Elks."

♦ ♦ ♦

The Elks National Foundation, founded in 1928, haswon recognition as one of the important benevolent institutions of the country. It has built up a fund of $5,000,000,has disbursed $1,000,000 and its current rate of disbursement is $175,000 a year from income of the fund, GrandLodge paying all operating costs.

The Foundation takes care of crippled children, givescollege scholarships to deserving students and grants fellowships for advanced training of doctors, nurses and

therapists in cerebral palsy therapy, filling a great need.♦ ♦ ♦

The Elks National Memorial Building, dedicated in 1926in memory of those members of the Order who served inWorld War I, was rededicated in 1946 in memory of thosemembers who served in World War II.

Erected at a cost of $3,444,526.62, it has been referredto by competent judges as one of the outstanding memorialbuildings of the world. Its great frieze, extending aroundthe exterior of the central rotunda and depicting "Triumphsof War" that perish, on one side, and "Triumphs of Peace"that endure, on the other side, is probably the most extensive work of its kind in the world.

♦ ♦ ♦

In 1940 the Grand Lodge created the National Defenseand Public Relations Commission.

The Commission was requested by the Adjutant Generalof the Army to assist in promoting the recruiting andtraining of young men for the Flying Cadet Corps andworking through the Subordinate Lodges the Commissionwas successful in establishing more than 400 refresherschools where thousands of young men were given intensivetraining enabling them to qualify for the Corps.

Al the outbreak of World War II the name of the Com

mission was changed to Elks War Commission. It wasasked by the Adjutant General to assist in recruiting 45,-000 young men for the Ground Crew of the Army AirCorps. The Elks gave him over 100,000.

One hundred and fifty-five fraternal centers for the comfort and entertainment of those in the Services were es

tablished throughout the country.When the need for more men skilled in the field of

construction became urgent the Army and Navy asked theElks War Commission to assist in the drive to secure them,the only organization to participate.

The required number of Army Engineers and NavySeabees was obtained three months ahead of time.

♦ ♦ ♦

When World War 11 was over, the thoughts of Elksturned to those coming back from the service of theircountry with physical or menial ailments calling for hos-pitalizalion. The Elks National Service Commission wascreated to serve these men, which it has done and is doingwith outstanding success. The Commission's slogan is:

•'So long as there is a Veteran in our hospitals, theBenevolent and Protective Order of Elks will never

forget him."The Commission's program, enthusiastically supported

by the Subordinate Lodges, affords continuous entertainment to the patients in nearly 200 hospitals. It suppliesmaterials for their use in occupational tlieraj)y. And whena patient is ready to go home, the Commission, with theassistance of the Lodge nearest his home, helps the veteranto re-integrate himself in the life of his community.

The Commission continues to operate Fraternal Centersfor the benefit of our young men in the Armed Forces.

♦ ♦ ♦

These are some of the highlights that illumine the pagesof Elk history. That history was written by men of ideals,to which they devoted their time and energies, iheir talentsand iheir money. As we turn the page, and begin a newchapter, may we write in letters that will be as bright.

of Fontainebleau, France, came over toplant a tree on the front lawn, and thateminent Gallic maitre d'hotel, ReneBlack, was imported from the Waldorf.

Now this year we have the Lucerne,the lobby of which is done chalet style.All right, it has beamed ceilings. Andpart of the hotel's facade was broughtfrom Switzerland. It has an "Alpine"dining room, a "William Tell" CoffeeShop and a nightclub known as the ClubChalet. The Lucerne aside, another 21—

count 'em—21 million dollars—was spenton two other hotels that opened thisyear. They are the Eden Roc and theSeville, both in the European motif,natch. Eden Roc has long been a famousbyword along the French Riviera, andin honor thereof, the architect (the sameone who did last year's Fontainebleau,incidentally) has decked the place in anaura of Italian Renaissance. Now then,besides 401 rooms, some of them splitlevel, there is under one French/Italianroof the Mona Lisa dining room, Harry'sAmerican Bar, the Marco Polo Loungeand the Cafe Pompeii. As for the 300-room Seville, it is, I'm thankful to say,all except the television sets in everyroom, finished by and large in theSpanish style. I have neglected to getthe word on the Ivanhoe, a fourth beachfront hotel new this year, but I guesswe would all be quite safe in assum-

nized until 1945. The breed is the coon-hound, a distant cousin of the foxhoundand widely distributed in the South, theSouthwest and parts of the East. The doggets its name from his use and proficiencyas a raccoon hunter. The coonhound is anight hunter, as his quarry is a nightprowling animal.

The standard for the breed wasadopted by the Black and Tan Coonhound Club and coonhounds of this colorcombination are the only kind recognized.There are many other coonhounds ofother color combinations but the blackand tan is the only variety that has become well enough established to win official recognition. He is basically a working dog, classed as a hound but a working dog in the sense that he is expectedto be a useful assistant in the field. Thestandard emphasizes that he should be adog with sufficient endurance to withstand hard winters and summer heat. Hemust be a purp that can navigate roughcountry. His coat should be short anddense, coal black with tan markingsabove the eyes, on sides of muzzle, chest,legs and breeching. Black markings ontoes is required.

ing it is Auld English as all get-out.There is, to be sure, much more to

Florida than Miami Beach, and if youare one who would like to avoid theman-made (European) grandeur and getout in the fresh, natural sunshine, oneof the most fascinating views of natureis afforded each year by the AudubonSociety. Now the Audubon people arenormally in the bird-preserving business,but they will go out of their way to showyou a random otter, a crocodile, or evena key deer, nearly an extinct species.More Audubon trips than ever have beenlaid out and they leave variously fromMiami, Tavernier, Fort Lauderdale,West Palm Beach, and Okeechobee City.The trip from Miami, which I took a fewseasons ago, features a look at Everglades National Park, and a boat trip onFlorida Bay to see the roseate spoonbills.The trip originating on Tavernier takesoff for the Key Deer Refuge and pokesamong the keys in search of whiteherons,roseate spoonbills, and the slithery beastsas well. From Fort Lauderdale with anovernight stop at Clewiston, the birderscruise into the Everglades again, intenton spying cattle egrets, smooth-billed aniand limpkins, all of which are birds incase you were wondering.

Anyone who would enjoy a look at aSeminole Indian village, and I don'tmean those commercial shacks set up by

the roadside, might enquire about theAudubon tour No. 5 out of OkeechobeeCity, working into the Kissimmee Prairieand the remote inland villages. Birds,too, of course.

For refugees who just want to settlein a quiet spot there are all sorts of sunburnt nooks down the East Coast—NewSmyrna Beach for example, which doesindeed have a wide stretch of sand. It'san ideal place for families at fees thatmust be considered moderate in the lightof other Florida prices. Lots of good fishhere and a golf course where you canplay away at a dollar and a half a day.Sailfishermen have long known aboutStuart, which is nineteen miles south ofFort Pierce. Although it is five milesfrom the coastline beaches, a pair ofbridges will soon be built over its tworivers and that will open Stuart to someten miles of beaches now reachable onlyby way of a rickety bridge.

Meanwhile, in another part of thestate—over on the Gulf Coast—the accentis on mobility and the byword is growth.The area is laid out for the automotivetraveler, there being no fewer than 600motels in tlie general St. Petersburg area.Some one million visitors are on theirway to the section in search of sun, sleep,solace and a tan and tonic to see themthrough the remaining deep freeze season up in the chilly northlands.

this class that can be said to be pureYank. He shares the honor of being thesecond of the sporting dogs, gun dogsthat is, that are native to the UnitedStates. He has a story-book backgroundand is said to have originated from acrossing of native non-descript dogs withtwo Newfoundland dogs that swam ashorefollowing the wreck of the United Statesvessel "Canton" off the Maryland coastin 1807. The Newfoundland is an American dog, although not a dog of the UnitedStates, originating in Newfoundland, aProvince of Canada. These dogs are perhaps among the best swimmers of alldogs and can endure the coldest waterwith no ill effects. They are likewiseamong the best of retrievers of waterfowl. The writer, who lives in one ofthe better duck hunting areas in the East,can testify to the retrieving ability of theChesapeake. I'm almost convinced thatno other variety of dogs are kept in myvillage unless I count a few stray beaglesused to try to keep the rabbit populationfrom getting too brash.

The Chesapeake is practically waterproof. having a dense undercoat and anouter coat that sheds water like a duck.He's a dog of great courage. On land hehunts by foot scent, not by body scent buthis greatest usefulness is as a water dog

and in this as I've indicated he has fewequals. On the water he gets the game'sscent from the oil which the feathers ofthe bird leaves on water. He too is aboutthe size of the German shepherd (I mention the latter because the breed is sowell-known—so often mis-called thepolice dog) ranging from 23 to 25 inchesat the shoulder to the ground. His coloris from dark brown to dull tan. He's areserved sort of fellow although by nomeans unfriendly but prefers to give hisaffection and loyalty to one or two persons with whom he is more closely associated.

No mention of dogs of this countrywould be complete without giving theAmerican Water Spaniel his due. Thislittle fellow is housepet size in additionto being a right smart gun dog. He'splayful and affectionate. By no means isthe breed new to the American home asit has been known for decades, but itwas not accorded official recognition until late in- 1940. As a boy, never mindhow long ago that is, I saw many suchdogs around the landscape where mygrandparents farm was located. Thebreed then, as I recall, was well established and possessed a common familyresemblance. As a gun dog he can betaught to point, flush or retrieve.
