: ; jWhite City - Brace yourself
:. and hold onto the oarsl Or
the fish pole.
. Last' Tuesday, ( some 25
members of ' the White City
.domiciliary fishing club took
1 .'off for the hills, lakes and
fish.
And from here on out it's
; strictly up to the ;fish and
'their own protective associa
tion, thinks Manager Henry C
' Herzog, the .staff and other
non-fishing memeers.,
1 The Liars' club Is not mil
' cially nor formally, organized
' at the domiciliary, . but , the
prospective membership list
:could exceed the norm. And
. Included in it are some prize
a " prospects for the famous Wis
consin fishermen's lying club.
,v Pokr Tae Look
j i tFor Instance. With a real
' tool look and poker face the
older fellow in the coffee
shop told this one:
"I was barbering down in
Louisiana along the Missis
sippi years ago, and as usual
the shop-talk got around to
. fishing after a bit,. My. victim
invited me to go down the
. river the next Sunday amid
the glowing accounts of fabu
lous luck.
?;r "I went along In a boat with
my friend and another fisher
man. We came to a big bend
with swirling water and just
below it they said 'this is it.
"I started to get out the
gear and get ready but all of
a 1 sudden noticed they were
undressing. 'Come on, they
.said.' And with that one went
over- the side Into the deep
water and reappeared with a
fine fish in his :hnnd. The
other did likewise. JCome on,
. .they said again. 'It's good.' Ij;
told them to bring them tipi
and I would count them andi
; fish my own -way. .They did'
and I did. , , j

"But soon they failed to ap
pear. And after too long
time I got uneasy.. Still I
waited and waited until !Ij
; "could stand it no longer, and!
disrobed and went over the
tde. At.flrst I could not see,
m, but finally, searching
io. nd, I found them both in
front of two large rocks torm
ina a biff hole. or cave. They
had wmrdi''i.jge fish. but

until one day we. were out on
the hillsides and. came to a
brook. 'We started across a

I knew, he had fallen in the
stream. That's r i g h t r- h e

Two Trips Per Month V -
j. The domiciliary; f I s h I n g
club has two trips a7 month
during the season.. Trips are
made ;to- tthe : various points
along the Rogue river, ;to How
ard Prairie, Sflunw lake Fish
lake!: and othei' accessible
waters. , -
Coffee, and food are packed
by the ..domiciliary kitchen,
and . the outdoor coffee and
sometimes fish . make . for
memorable days for the ar
dent fish, club members. '
The people and the -State of
Oregon also 'are in on thei
pleasure. - The law provides i
that a 25 per cent disabled
veteran is entitled to a fish
ing license, meeting resident
requirements, for 50 cents and
another half: will get- a hunt
ing license.
.Further, ... it has been the
good fortune of the fishing
members to visit and fish, at
resorts where owners provide
boats for, a nominal fee and
assist in every way possible to
make the trips enjoyable and
productive. ' . . y..-
Old Fishing Hole . '
.And, so, on the way back
from one of the trips, an older
member of . Italian descent
went into reverie about a fish
ing hole. of his youth back in
his pative land. He had his
lunch and bottle of wine to
go with it..
But the fishing was bad that
day,- and in desperation he fi
nally, soaked the bait in wine.
He got lots of nibbles and no
ftsh-thosc slow, : tantalizing
nibbles and lost bait.'
Finally , he went tp sleep
only to be awakened a short
time later by . a tugging on
his ankle.' He sat up. and
looked down, and: there was
a fine fish tugging at him with
one widely opened eye point
ing at the bottle of wine. . ;

tion to the county equalization
