Ever finish one of those sen tences? Win the roundtrip to Pa tagonia and the fur-lined deepfreeze? Well, there's a man here who topped entering contests 25 years ago and started advising other people how to win them. This year he gave his advice to 23.000 contest entrants. He has built up a million-dollar business on the theory that winning con tests is "science, not luck." Wilmer S. Shepherd Jr. won so many contests himself in the early 1930s that other contes tants began writing to ask him how he did it. So he pushed aside the entry blanks and be gan answering the letters. Contest School Born It wasn't long before he de rided thpre was more cash in that than winning refrigerators ot toasters. And so the "Shep herd Correspondence School of Contest Technique" was born. Today the business has two suites in an office building with a staff of nine. The 25.000 en rol'&i in the course pay $36 5 I apiece. Eight thousand others subscribe to his bi-monthly con test bulletins. Shepherd - trained contestants now known as "Shepherdites" have won more than $4 mil lion. They have won 49 new cars so far this year. A Shepherdite recently won his 1,500th prize. A half dozen of them are scat tered over the world right now on expense-paid tours. Some firms around the coun try write contest entries and sell them, but each Shepherdite s work is his own. Stick To Creative Field "We stick to the creative com mercial field," said Shepherd, a soft-spoken executive type in his 50s. "Last lines, naming con tests we're not in the puzzle field at all. We can t handle TV contests like 'The S64.000 Ques tion.' They require specialized knowledge and we can't provide that." Grange Notes Central Point Grange Central Point Grange met Friday.

The lessons go out in plain envelopes mark ed " Shepherd School." The school has a "library" of winning contest entries 40,000 of them by Shepherdites. Shepherd has on file many letters of appreciation. One rends: "I am, as they say in Dixie, as happy as a dead pig in the sunshine. However warm my sentiments. I could never have woven them into a winning statement without the tech niques you've taught me." GOLD HILL Daughter Born to Marsdens Friday. Juna 14, 19S MEDFORD (OREGON MAIL TSIBTJ1t-ETaWT Br MRS.

As for the lake trout. They've port. Delmar Smith, and Frieda landed them up to 63 pounds in Manitoba, with 10-pounders al most in the common class in some lakes, and 15-pounders far from unusual. Autumn provides the most thrilling times then you can use light casting or spin ning tackle. If great northern pike are your dish, there are plenty of tackle busters. As for size, a native Manitoban wouldn't dream of soiling hs hands on any pike less than 10 pounds (it says here). "Any tima a northern pike won't take your lure you can be sure that nothing else is bit ing," the brochure says. As for lures, they'll take spinners, plugs, live bait anything that moves.

They fall for spoons, plugs or live bait. Another one is the Arctic char big brother of the brook trout, caught in the Barren Lands of Northern Canada. He doesn't come in minnow sizes and he's been taken in 20-pound weights. No native in Manitoba, but a good scrapper, is the small mouth bass. Some anglers will tell you that as far as fresh water fish go, "inch for inch, pound for pound, they are the fightingest fish that lives . . ." And they will suc cumb to a bucktail! Rainbow trout, too. have been introduced essentially, the rain bow is a west-of-the-Rockies trout. These acrobatic tail-dancers will fall for wet flies and small spinners. Dry flies too, par ticularly in early mornings and late evenings. World's Finest Hunting I might go on. as does the bro chure on the delights of geese and duck hunting.
