Hooker's ex-wife waived alimony rights in 1947 when she moved to California with a new husband. But this year she filed suit to recover 10 years of back payments, at $20 a week. Her suit was de nied in superior court but tho State Supreme Court held she was entitled to the money. Under a Georgia law that stood on the books until 1954, alimony awarded for child support was a permanent obligation, even if the mother did not insist on it.

Horses are unsaddled and turned out to graze on the green grass while the riders loaf over saddlebag sandwiches, throw rocks into the lake to watch the splash and fish.

The waters of the lake are cold enough to make it dangerous to dip brass monkeys in them without damage. Sports Fishermen Have Good i Year Along Pacific Coast In 1958, But Fears Looming By DEVAN L. S1IUMWAY United Press International SACRAMENTO, (UPI) History will record the years 1957 and 1958 as excellent for sports lishermen along the Pacific Coast. But is this good? Or is it bad? To date nobody seems to have definite answers to these puzzling questions. The reason for the good fishing is readily apparent: The water's warmer, thus attracting species that haven't been captured in North American waters before. But the dilemma starts at this point: It's a dilemma that is giv ing scientists king-sized headaches as well as giving sports fish ermen along the Pacific Coast some fish for their money. The California Fish and Game Department, in a monthly report, said that high ocean temperatures ofi the Pacific Coast arc not unique by any means. "However, the warm years of 1957-58 seem more exceptional in normal temperatures which have persisted since 1947," the slate agency said. "The warming in 1957-58 was Pacific-wide phenomenon rather than just a iocal one," it con tinued. "Warming off the Pacific Coast of the United States Is us ually associated with cooling off northern Japan and warm water off northern Japan is generally accompanied by cool water off our coast. When the water warms,' the ef fect seems to be far-reaching. "Tidal anomalies also seem to be related to ocean tempera tures," said the California report "Higher than normal tides occur when water temperatures are higher and lower than normal tides occur when the water is cool. "In addition, the warming phe nomenon has been associated with an expansion and southward dis placement of the semi-permanent low pressure area located In the north Pacific. In other words, more rain in California's coastal areas. For others than the fishermen, here were some of the results. apparently, of the ocean's warming up: Hawaii had its first recorded hurricane, the Peruvian coast was afflicted with the fish-killing El Nino, the ice went out at Point Barrow at the earliest lime history, and on the western edge of the Pacific the tropical rainy season lasted almost six weeks beyond lis usual term. uainornio s research agencies are looking into the whole matter and already a preliminary report lor I9a7 has been published en titled the California Cooperative Oceanic fisheries Investigations. There are some interesting facts m that report: The energy contained In half the oil reserves on earth would be required to produce the change ob served last year in salt content in the 200.000 square miles of the California coast. About four times more solar heat than the area actually re ceived would be needed to explain ne cnangc that occurred. The warming along the coast averaged one degree centigrade during 1957. Meanwhile, back in the fish beds: Sardine spawning during the pe riod was unique because although most of it took place in a coastal band from Punta Baia to San Pe dro, some spawned north of Point Conception for the lirst lime in several years. At the same time, sardines were widely scattered and not very abun dant in 1957. There was an "enormous in crease in the percentage ot young sardines (firecrackers) in the live- bait catch, perhaps up to six per cent compared with three-tenths of one per cent in 1955, tne dcsi previous year. The year 1957, unquestionably was the best sportsusning year southern California ocean anglers have enjoyed since party boat rec ords were reestablished in 1947 after World War II. Ycllowtai! have been caught off all southern California sportsfish- ing ports and in large numbers south of Port Hucncme. The bar racuda catch increased greatly over the past several years. Boats also got skipjack and dolphinfish and occasionally landed yellowfin tuna. And the fish have been moving further and further north. For instance, white scabass were caught off the Golden Gate near San Francisco.
