i WRIGHT FAVORED
' Spartanburg, S. C. - IUPH -
j Long - hitting Mickey Wright
held the favorite's position in
the opening round today of
j the Peach Blossom Open, but
hometown heroine Betsy
Rawls refused to be written
I off.
Anyone who is willing to
make general statements
aboRt commercial fishing
when he knows very little
about it should be willing to
accept any verbal lashing that
results from it. The letter
from Mr. Cellars of the Co
lumbia River Salmon & Tuna
Packers association was an
unexpected rebuttal to the
article on the petition to make
steelhead a gamefish, but it
was welcome in that it dem
onstrates how easy it is to
use statistics for whatever
end you choose.
BUT YOU SAID . . .
There are three species of
salmonoids that consist the
major part of the commercial
fishery in the Columbia river
during the summer months.
These are the Chinook and
blueback (sockeye) salmon,
and the summer steelhead.
The chinook average about
16 to 20 pounds, the blueback
average 4 to 6 pounds and
the summer steelhead aver
age about 6 to 8 pounds. When
Mr. Cellars says, "The Colum
bia river steelhead is the big
gest of all known steelhead
species on the Pacific coast",
he is talking about how big
they can get, not how big
most of them are. However,
even the record book would
show how wrong he is in
thinking that the Columbia
river steelhead is the largest.
Bigger fish are elsewhere,
AND HE SAID . . .
I was leading with my chin
when I said, "Any commer
cial fisherman who catches
steelhead when he is fishing
for salmon should not be in
the business." It would have
been more accurate to say
that any commercial fisher
man who catches more steel
head than salmon when he's
after salmon should not be in
the business. Mr. Collars was
right to lake me to task for
making such a general south
ern Oregon statement.
YEAH BUT . . .
All of the facts regarding
which fish, where, and at
what size were taken from
the reports of the Oregon fish
commission. It is somewhat
understandable that Mr. Cel
lars has disregarded the find
ings compiled by that agency
which is maintained for the
continuance of the commer
cial fishery. He will use those
figures that support his point
of view and I wil use those
that support mine. To do oth
erwise would be less under
standable. AND SO . . .
The crux of the prjlcm is
that there is more and more
pressure on the steelhead fish
eries of all the streams on the
west coast. This pressure is
caused by the tremendous
growth in the number, of
anglers who want to catch a
steelhead. Protection for the
resource is necessary, and it
must come now while we still
have enough of the resource
left to work with. To wait
might make the job too ex
pensive and complicated. The
Columbia river steelhead re
source is in need of this pro
tection because to split the
run between the commercial
nets and the sports anglers
will not allow it to survive.
BECAUSE . . .
To believe that the steel
head should be caught com
mercially because they are
being caught commercially is
the kind of reasoning that
would have the market hunt
ers still killing our deer and
waterfowl. The history of
conservation in this country
is that when a resource is
threatened by whatever cause,
one of the first regulatory
measures has been to slop the
commercial exploitation of
that resource. Steelhead are
providing a living for the
commercial fishermen who
catch rrore steelhead than
salmon. But this is not enough
reason to allow steelhead to
be caught by commercial fish
ermen. This fish is worth far
more to the state of Oregon
when it is sought by the
sports angler as a means of
recreation. (Or whatever.)
THE ANGLER'S LOG
The weather being what it
has been the past few days,
not much can be expected
from the local anglers except
a few weak, half-frozen alibis.
Some fish are being caught,
but the urge to keep trying
for a limit is showing signs
of a steady weakening. It's
too bad that the snow and
rain are more of a cause of
this than a feeling of conservation.

We'd like to have a nickel for every
time our competitors tell a motor
prospect that "a Merc's great for rac
ing .. . but it won't hold up."
When you stop to think about it, this
is the nuttiest thing anyone could
say. If a Merc's ereat for racing, it's
got to hold up.
Mercurys do win more outboard races
than any other motor. But, what kind
of races do they win? Races that
prove fridurance.
Races like the Mis?sippi Marathon
106S miles at full throttle. Just as
stock cari are rused on ie race
tracks, so are Mercs prorl in the
gruelir marathons. But, this is just
a normal Jay's work for a Mercury
atOur test Ponler?it Lake X, Florida.
In fact? back in 1937 two standard
cprod(Utie GO hfi Men set the
world's outboard endurance record
. . . 50,000 continuous miles in 68 days
(and nights). And, the new Mercs are
even better today. The slide-rule boys
will tell you this is equal to 30 years
of average boating!
We're proud of our racing record. It
proves the guts of our engine . . . and
our engineering. It proves a Merc can
take more punishment with less
maintenance.

It proves a Merc gives you more

Dodge trucks just won't give up.
That's been my experience with three of
them in more than 20 years. Now I have a
one-tonner. I farm 525 acres of tobacco,
wheat and corn, with a few head of cattle.
. So the Dodge Is on the go all the time,
on the road, in fields, across gullies.
In 35,000 miles the brakes or engine haven't
had a wrench on them. And the V8 engine is
giving better than 15 miles to a gallon!;;
T. D. Carter, Summarfitld, South Carolina
DODGE TRUCKS FOR 1962 can do better than
that. More than 50 engineering advances
make these the toughest, most tight-fisted
Dodges ever built. Most gasoline-powered
models have new distributors and high-speed
starters; all have a 35-amp alternator as standard
equipment. And their prices are lower than
most of the competition's, right In
