Just Go Fishin' By DEWITT MACKENZIE AP Foreign Affairs Analyst I see by my newspaper that General Lucius Clay, having written some of the great history of our time, is hankering to get home from Germany so that he can go fishin'. Now that's grand news. It's good to know that our military commander on the coldwar front belongs to that great fraternity which recognizes fishin' as one of the most Important things in life. There's nothing which will put an overworked man on his feet quicker than to get back to nature with rod and line. There's no music so soothing to frayed nerves as the song of a running reel. But fishin is more than a pick-me-up for weary nerves. By tak ing a chap out of the hurly-burly of every day life it gives him a chance to get acquainted, with himself. That's important, you know.

If you want to get acquainted with your fellow, go fishin' with him. If you want to get ac quainted with yourself, do you likewise. I don't know whether we ever had a president who wasn't a fisherman, but we've had many who were. Certainly there have been plenty among the incum bents of recent years, beginning with Mr. Truman. Among his immediate predecessors were F. D. R. (not overlooking Vice President "Cactus Jack" Garner, of Texas), Hoover, Cal Coolidge (the worm fisherman) and Teddy Kooseveit. Lauds Hoover's Pet Trout Speaking of Mr. Hoover, did you ever hear the story of his j big trout, Moby Dick .' it was ! related to me over the luncheon table in London by Hugh Gibson, distinguished diplomat and auth or, wno at tnat time was u. s. ambassador to Belgium. That I was back during the Hoover I presidency. ! During a trip to the states Gibson had been Hoover's guest in the presidential summer camp at Rapldan, near Washington. The first day the President hand- ; ed Hugh fly-flshin' equipment and told the ambassador to catch ' a trout for himself. Gibson being i an eager fisherman, rushed to his assignment. ! For a considerable time the angler cast with indifferent luck, but kept working along the stream until finally he came to a magnificent pool. It was ideal for trout. Hugh carefully ma neuvered himself Into position and made a beautiful cast. As the fly touched the water there was a violent swirl and a strike like a ton of brick. Hugh set his hook, and the fight was on with what obviously was a big fish. The battle was long and thrilling, but finally the prize was brought to net and his ex cellency found himself possessor of a trout weighing several pounds. Gibson carried the trout back to camp and turned it over to the cook in the kitchen. A little later the President strolled In and. after taking a look in the kitchen, came to where the envoy was sitting. "Hugh, where did you get that big trout?" asked Hoover and Gibson described the pool. "My gosh," exclaimed the chief f , v ' 1.4.., y-i, 4 FAMILYiNINE-Joseph Doyle, of Salem.

UP) A college boy came to a hard de cision two months ago to quit school so he could care for his widowed mother. Today, after 45 days of professional baseball, he's the property of the Boston Red Sox. That's the saga of rookie catch er Sammy White, who has rock eted from the University of Washington campus to the big leagues in one of the most meteor ic rises of Pacific Coast League history. General Manager Earl Sheely of the Seattle Rainiers, with whom White signed last March 7, announced the deal yester day and hung a $75,000 price tag on It. The transaction, however, was not all cash. It involved an undisclosed sum and five play ers, two of whom will report immediately to bolster Seattle's executive, "you've caught Moby Dick. He was presented to me by the citizens of , and has been hand-fed ever since." But you don t have to be a president or an ambassador or a many starred general to be able to go fishin'. We little folk of the rank and file are the equal of kings In this respect. When we are tired, and worried be cause of hard times, we always can get rest and peace from the music of the singing reel and the laughter of. the woodland stream. How George and Jean won 2,000 college scholarships These two young Westerners, Jean Hath away of Chico, California, and George Emde, Jr. of Lodi, California, will begin college next fall with the help of $2,000 scholarship awarded by Standard of California. They were chosen as outstanding among 4-H Club and Future Farmers of America members who raised and showed their own livestock at the recent Grand National Junior Livestock Exposition in San Francisco. Four other scholarships of $1,000 each were also awarded to Mary Lee Hay of 'Lovelock, Nevada; Robert Young of Quincy, California; Ralph Boyd of Lancaster, California; and Jamei Buell of Bucllton, California. Scholastic ability, leadership, personality, records in club projects were all considered by 4-H Club and F. F. A. judges. We'd like to say "Good Luck!" to George, Jean, Mary, Robert, Ralph and James. We know they'll do i fine job in school... and later as good citizens of the West, Standard Oil Company of California if 0f5TANoD i wobbly pitching staff. White's sale to Boston calls for 1950 delivery, giving him a full year of seasoning in Triple A ball. To the 22-year-old, 6-foot 3-inch, 195-pounder it's a dream come true. His first reaction was "you're not kidding me, are you?" his next was "I'm tickled to death that It's the Red Sox." To opposing coast league pitch ers In his 29 games he's already become known as "Sammy the whammy." His stick work has kept him at the top of the Raini ers since the start of the season March 30. His current average is a lusty .345.
