ATION "Where You Are Paid To Save" According to letter received by Curt Butterfleld, president of the 20-30 club, the National Catfish Derby sponsored by the 20-30 club is not the only one in existence. In 1952 the Parris Manufac turing company in Savannah. Tenn., and a southern sports man suggested a catfish derby as a means of putting Savannah on the map.

Festivities for the Savannah National Catfish Derby begin about the middle of June and last through July. The Derby is divided into f series of weekly contests with prizes awarded each week to the fisherman catching the largest catfish. At the. end of the Derby month, a grand prize, usually a boat, is presented to the person catch ing the largest fish of the Derby. Separate Prises Separate prizes are given to lady anglers and to commercial fishermen. Other activities in clude beauty contests, river cruises and open house tours into interesting Savannah homes. Like the Rogue valley Na tional Catfish Derby, no ent.-y fee is collected. The Derby is "a promotional enterprise designed to promote the Savannah area and attract tourists. The Rogue Valley National Catfish Derby began in 1936 be cause of an argument during a pool game between Frank Perl and the late Delroy Getchell over fishing abilities. Frank De Souza and Kenneth Anthony also were connected with its origin. As a result, the first derby was held at Savage Dam. The Medford 20-30 club began sponsoring the Derby in 1941.
