WHY WALL STREET

JOURNAL READERS

LIVE BEHER

By a SubscriberI work in a large city. Over a periodof time I noticed that men who readThe Wall Street Journal are betterdressed, drive better cars, have betterhomes, and eat in better restaurants.

I said to myself, "Which came first,the hen or the egg? Do they read TheJournal because they have more money,or do they have more money becausethey read The Journal?"

I started asking discreet questions.I found that men who are well off have tohave the information in The Journal.And average fellows like me can winadvancement and increased incomes byreading The Journal.

NEW JOB PROBLEM faces local, state,and federal administrations as hundredsof thousands of students graduate inTune from schools and colleges. OurGovernment is studying the situationfrom a dozen angles, involvi)ig Health,Education, and Welfare, Labor, Commerce, Interior, and even Defense Departments. There is talk of creatingnew youth activities along the lines ofthe Civilian Conservation Corps, establishing camps in areas where the servicesof young men and women can well beused. Throughout this spring the multitude of high school seniors on sightseeing trip.s to tlie Nation's Capital keepasking, "Where can we get a job?"Machines and new techniques in thisjet and rocket age are steadily cutting down employment in factories,offices, supermarkets, and on farms andranches.

BILL SIMMONS, veteran receptionistin the White House press room lobby,bemoans the change from trains toplanes in today's Presidential travel. Billwell i-emembers the last special traintrip across the country in the late '3()'sby Franklin D. Roosevelt. It was aleisurely affair. There were parades inmany big cities. President Rooseveltreviewed the Pacific Fleet in San Francisco harbor, and salutes from the bigguns roared all afternoon. "We eventook time to visit Yosemite NationalPark," .said Bill. Newspapemien whomade that trip agree with Bill. In thisjet-plane age they travel thousands ofmiles and see nothing except the newsevents they cover.

RETIREMENT HOMES will be builtas a project of the National As.sociationof Letter Carriers. They will be lowrent retirement-recreation apartmentunits. The first will be a $4 millionretirement center for letter carriers incentral Florida, Other Go\ ernment employee unions are closely watching

developments. Under the law, Government unions may build non-profit retirement centers for members on 100 percent loans guaranteed by the Government.

HOMEMADE AIRPLANES have started such a "do-it-yourself" craze that anew trade organization—ExperimentalAircraft Owners Association—has beenformed. More than 4,000 aircraft kitshave been sold. Even homemade helicopters are being put together. Someof tlie little autogyros in nearby lieldscan take off within 40 feet in a 10-mile-an-hour wind.

THE JEFFERSON STATUE is one ofthe cleanest in Washington. Someweeks ago it was one of the dirtiest,but when Rep. Samuel S. Stratton ofN. Y. wrote about it to Interior Secretary Stuart L. Udall, the huge statuewas scrubbed fiom head to toe.

SCHOOL VANDALISM costs Washington $100,000 a year, but electric eyesmay stop a lot of it. School officials planto ask for $10,000 to install electric eyedevices in ten schools as a tryout. Anyone crossing the unseen rays of lightsets off loud sirens and also calls police.

ROCKING CHAIRS never were more

popular than today. Since White HousePhysician Janet Travell prescribed arocker for President Kennedy, she hasbeen deluged by letters asking whereand how to buy them. Rockers, however, should be selected to meet theneeds of a person. Dr. Travell pointsout, and the letters do not give theheight, weight, and age of the writers.The rocker used by the President camefrom Asheville, N. C.

FOOTBALL SPECTACULAR maycome when the Washington Redskinsopen their season in the New MunicipalStadium this fall. President Kennedy,

it is expected, will throw out the firstball. Someenthusiastic fans say he mayeven kick off. No President has everattended a pro game of the Redskins,but President Kennedy is a real football fan,

"MOONLIGHTING" CRACKDOWN,widely rumored in Government circles,is denied by Administi-ation heads. Theword is applied here to federal employees who take extra jobs after regular working hours. Some drive taxis,others work in stores or restaurants.Others do professional work such asteaching. Workers have nothing toworry about as long as their extra workdoes not conflict with their Governmentjobs.

How I Turned %000 into a Million'Starting in my spare time

AN AMAZING STORY THAT MAY CHANGE YOUR LIFE

by William NickersonPerhaps the hardest

thing about making amillion dollars — or even$200,000 — is the act ofbelieving it to be possible.This may be the stum

bling block which will keep you from seizing upon the extraordinary opportunitypresented here.

Out of every thousand people who readthis page, perhaps only 10 will be able toovercome their ingrained skepticism enoughto send away for more information. And outof those ten, perhaps only one or two willexploit this opportunity to the hilt. Butthose fortunate few may enjoy the kind offinancial success that millions dream of but

only a few achieve.

You can pyramid personal savings oi$2,500 ($50 a month, plus interest, lor 4years) into an estate worth $219,972 in 14years . . . $1,187,195 in 20 years.

Your chances ior success in this field are

better than 400 to 1 —in fact, 1600 timesbetter than if you went into business —according to actual U.S. government statistics.

And most, if not all, of your new wealthwill be yours to keep tax-free — not evensubject to capital gains tax!

I did better than that. When I was 25,my wife Lucille and I started saving partof my first modest earnings as a telephonecompany employee. In three years we hadsaved the down payment to buy a home. Ibegan looking about for a way to insure amodest retirement income to supplementmy telephone company pension.

From "Scratch" to $500,000 by 42

Starting with only the $1000 cash equityin my home, I pyramided this modest assetinto $500,000 by the time I was 42 — all inmy spare time. I retired at 42 to concentrate on my investments —with considerable time for gardening, swimming in ourbackyard pool, hunting, fishing, andtraveling.

Many friends turned to me for adviceon how they could follow me up the roadto fortune. Finally I decided to write aunique guidebook, in which I would sharemy money-making secrets.

But editors who read my first manuscripttold me: "Ah, but your success depended onstarting during the depression. It couldnever happen again!"

Another $500,000 jn Only 2 Years

This led me to study other men's money-making experiences, and current, non-de-pression-period opportunities. Although Ihad not intended to increase my holdings,I found so many opportunities that in 2years 1doubled my estate to over $1,000,000.

Now my book. How I Turned $1000Into a Million, is ready at last. And in

it I reveal — and tell how to use — these 4

basic principles of traveling the last remaining road to great fortune still open tothe average person:

1. How to harness fhe secret force of

free enterprise — the pyramiding power ofborrowed money. If you have ever experienced difficulty in arranging a personal loan(or a commercial loan to go into business)you may have the idea that banks won'tlend money to the "little fellow" for thepurpose of making money. But I will showyou how you can get lenders to put upgladly at least three dollars for every oneof yours, thereby quadrupling the earningpower of your capital.

2. How to choose income-producingmultiple dwellings in which to invest yourown (and your borrowed) capital. If youare interested in investing in income-pro-ducing property for income alone, then youwill probably get along all right withoutany advice from me, although even there Ican give you many tips. But if you are outto pyramid your capital, there is a definiteset of conditions to look for.

3. How to make your equity grow. Afair market value of an income-producingproperty is in ratio to its income. Therefore, if you increase the annual net bymeans of the steps I outline, you increasethe market value of the property — therebyincreasing your equity.

4. How to virtually eliminate the "toxbite" on your capital growth. I will showyou how you can increase your net worthsteadily without its being subject to income taxes —not even capital gains tax!J. K. Lasser's famous guide. Your INCOMETax, says of this method that "the mathematics have almost unparalleled attraction."

If you have about $2500 right now — orif you can save only $50 a month for thenext four years — you can start out soundlyalong the road to a million dollars. To enhance your progress you will need an additional personal investment of $50 a month,or $600 a year, for two more years afterthat, making a total investment from yourpersonal savings of $3600. But then you willstart receiving income from your investment. In addition, if you follow my instructions carefully, your capital can grow at thefollowing startling rate:

In 2 years, your $3600 grows to $5,800.In 4 years, you have $11,575.In 6 years, $21,681.In 8 years, $39,363.In 10 years, $70,548.In 12 years, $124,884.In 14 years, $219,972.In 16 years, $386,376.In 18 years, $677,583.In 20 years, $1,187,195.

How far you want to go up this ladderdepends on how much retirement incomeyou would like. You can conservatively expect to earn an average net return of 6%

on your personal equity. So, if you wouldbe satisfied with a retirement income of atleast $12,000 a year, you might decide tostop when your equity reaches $200,000.

"There Must Be a Catch to Itl"

Right now, it would be understandable ifyou were sputtering, "But — but —it's notthat simple. There musf be a catch to it!"

Of course there's a catch to it! There arehundreds of "catches" —hundreds of pitfalls and traps for the unwary who havenever traveled what I call the "realty roadto riches." But I made it, by learning as Iwent along. And you have a priceless advantage which I never had —the advantageof being able to know beforehand everything I had to leam by trial-and-error.

My 497-page book is literally the productof a lifetime, into which I have pouredevery distilled ounce of practical knowledge I gained along the road to fortune. Itanswers all the questions on real estateoperations that my friends have ever askedme. I lead you through one actual transaction after another, setting forth each stepin detail.

This method of making money is notdependent on continued economic boom orinflation. It is benefited and underwrittenby America's continuing population boom,which is expected to result in 77 millionmore people by 1980. And it is comparatively recession-proof.

Fabulous FloridaPart One: Convention City^ Greater Aiiami

By HORACE SUTTON

IT TOOK some brave explorers to discover only a few years ago that notonly could man exist in south Floridain the summer, it was downright pleasurable, Although it was a radical ideaat the time—well, the first fellow totaste an olive must have thought itpeculiar—lolling about in the lowerlatitudes during the summer monthshas become popular sport. The twincities of Miami and Miami Beach,where the hotels were once nailed shutin May, now bubble with activityaround the calendar.

Man, woman, or child set loose inthe environs in July or August not onlycan suwive, they can swim in the sea,flop on a beach, watch a poipoise playbasketball, see a parrot fire a cannon,commune with wild birds in the nearbyEverglades, sail the lagoons lined withpalatial estates, .see a monkey play thepiano, catch a bonita, commune with aSeminole, and loll about in the greatestcollection of luxury resort hotels the

The iumping porpoise is always a hit at the Seaquarittm.

world has ever seen. This I discoveredagain when I returned to the GreaterMiami area recently to do the groundwork for these articles for Elks andtheir families who plan to attend tlieGrand Lodge Convention in July andfor the thousands more who will vacation in Florida this year.

I have called Miami and MiamiBeach twin cities only because they livealongside one another. In aspect theyare not twins at all. Miami, the city onthe mainland of Florida, i.s a busymetropolis of half a million, a commercial center not only of south Floridabut for all Latin America. Its tall commercial hotels with their rooftop aeriesrise along Biscayne Boulevard overlooking Biscayne Bay, its myriad attractions man-made and man-developedlie south and west of it.

Across the bay, anchored by thelong lines of its connecting ca\iseways,floats the world-famed sandbar calledMiami Beach, host to 1,5()(),()()0 guests

every year. Its 379 hotels and its 2,700apartment buildings, which all but blotout a view of the sea, can store 140,000visitors every night. No matter wherein this maze of inns a visitor may findhimself installed, he is scant minutesfrom the nearest pool, the nearest stripof sand, the nearest golf course, shop,restaurant, or sunswept strip of tropi-cana. Here, in the dead of winter, adouble room of the fancie.st sort in thefanciest of hotels may run as high as$50 a day. In summer this same roommay cost as little as $20 a day, butanyone with $15 cotild put up elsewhere in a comfortable room for awhole summer's week.

IN GEOGRAPHICAL FACT Miami Beachis a series of islands one to three

miles off the mainland, virtually all devoted to pleiisurable living. The placewasn't even founded until 1915, butthereafter it was designed as a playland.Pioneers who came in 1915 were day

trippers who took the nickel ferry fromMiami, brought along their own foodand drinking water. Landing at theedge of a dock, passengers ran alongthe two-block-long duck walk, along agauntlet of mosquitos who lived in themangrove swamps. The mosquitoshave long since emigi-ated, and theBeach is equally free, these ultra-civilized, concrete, and chrome days, fromragweed pollen. The count, hay feversufferers may be fascinated to hear, is0.26, one of the lowest of any place inthe U. S. Well, heavens, where wouldit grow?

For the public there are eight ocean-front parks and nearly two miles ofbathing beach. Somewhere, shelteredbehind the Great Wall of hotels, ismore beach, for Miami Beach measuressome nine miles of sandy shore.

Not long ago, stockholders of a shipping line were invited aboard its newesthixiiry vessel to hear the president's report given in the shi])'s theater."

The Day Business Meets Its OwnersBy ARTURO F. GONZALES, JR.

If you own stock in an American corporation, you're entitled to a voice in "man-aging the management." And, more and more shareholders are voicing their views

EVERY SPRING the robins comenorth, major league ball players headsouth, and American stockholders scurryin a dozen different directions to attend corporation annual meetings inboardrooms, ballrooms, tents, and auditoriums from Berkeley to Bangor.

And their scurrying is intensifyingnoticeably. Each year more and moreU. S. companies are finding more andmore stockholders in attendance, andthey have to do a more professionaljob of getting their corporate storiesacross to these stockhholders. In theprocess, they hear a lot more commentfrom opinionated shareholders thanever before in busiiiess history. As aresult, management men running en-teq^rises both large and small are tak

ing a long, hard, new look at the tradition of the annual meeting.

Why this dramatic increase of shareholder interest in annual meetings?The rapid multiplication in the numberof American shareholders is one verygood answer. Every day some 4,000new investors take their first plunge inthe stock market. By actual count,nearly one of every twelve citizens nowholds a share or more of Americanfree enterprise.

Then, too, that intangible called"corporate public relations" has prompted more and more firms to make theannual meeting a frilly and fun-filledafirair, replete with box lunch, take-home samples of the cor^^orate product,and all the ballvhoo of a carnival. This

tends to bring out shareholders by thebusload.

Not long ago, for example, well over500 stockholders of the Matson Linewere invited aboard the newest Matsonluxury vessel to hear the president'sreport given in the ship's theatre. Theywatched a color motion picture aboutthe maiden voyage of the vessel, weretaken on tours of the ship, and laterdrank champagne from glasses in whichorchids floated, tapping their toes allthe while to tlie music of the ship'sorchestra. Many left with portfolios ofwater colors, "suitable for framing,"showing gorgeous and glamorous Mat-son ports of call.

General Electric has been serving itsovei"flow crowds with fancv closed-

"Years ago, the annual meetinp was an empty and routinefunction, carried out solely to satisfy incorporation regulations."

circuit TV views of the main proceedings. American Machine and Foundryhas scheduled regional meetings aroundthe country so that its president mightmeet as many shareholders as possible.The C&O Railroad recently took itsstockholders on a sightseeing boat tourafter its main meeting concluded.

Western Airlines not long ago gaveits stockholders the highly publicized'champagne fliglit" treatment, servingearth-bound meals on airplane trayswith flight stewardesses handing outchampagne, shrimp cocktail, and squabstuffed with wild rice, as well as tinyorchids and vials of perfume.

But ballyhoo alone does not explainthe increased interest in annual meetings. Tens of thousands of stockholdersare showing up today because theysincerely want to know how their company is being run, how it will do inthe coming twelve months, and why itdidn't do better in the year just past.They get their chance at that tensemoment when management shoots itscuffs, dons a nervous smile, and movesto the podium to make a statement tothe assembled throng about the company s current position.

Years ago, management didn't haveto put up with this kind of an ordealat the hands of its stockholders. The

annual meeting was an empty and routine function, carried out solely tosatisfy incorporation regulatioiis. Minutes of last year's meeting were usuallyread to a small gathering of managerswho had been ordered to show up,just to make the whole thing legal.More than once even the reading of theannual report was waived, and the directors of the company were usuallyautomatically re-elected in perpetuity.One of these old-style corporate meetings in New York was clocked by abusiness reporter as concluded in exactly four minutes and five seconds.

But this type of meeting is almostas dead as the dodo today. Manyshareholders have suddenly realizedthat the coiporation annual meeting isthe legally-constituted forum by whichAmerica's profit system functions. Theseshareholders have also embraced thenotion that their purchase of stockentitles them to have some say in how"their" company should be run. Theresults have been lively.

Stockholders have become increasingly aware that they—and not the company's management—are the real "owners" of the firm. The former presidentof a large steel company made theirpoint not long ago when he admittedthat "The industrial manager of today

is a 'hired hand' who no longer has aproprietary interest in the enterprise."Stockholders increasingly see the corporate annual meeting as a device forclosely watching their "hired hands."Most believe that these annual meetingsare business parliaments at which thetwo distinct and separate branches ofcorporate government convene to discuss at length the running and the improving of both the corporation and itsprofit picture. Consequently, manystockholders show up at annual meetings today to ask questions—and to demand answers.

"Sir, just what do you do that isworth $150,000 a year to us?" is theway one independent shareholder questioned a president not long ago.

During the past few hectic years,bristling stockholders at annual meetings have gone so far as to criticizealleged too-high executive's pay, too-elaborate executive offices, and overly-generous stock options for top executives. One proud president was evenhounded into purchasing some stock inhis company by a pugnacious stockholder. Quite obviously, managementno longer has the complete control itonce had over its annual meetings andmust expect to be questioned on every

Take

Your

Tackle

To the

Convention

By TED TRUEBLOOD

IF YOU'RE A FISHERMAN, July is agood time to be in Florida. The last ofthe winter visitors have gone home toair out their houses and mow theirneglected lawns, leaving the fishing—atthe very time when it is best—to thonatives and the comparatively few visitors who come at this season for thespecific purpose of enjoying the superlative sport that it affords. And this year,the Elks Grand Lodge Convention is atMiami Beach, in July!

Residents of Greater Miami, whichincludes Miami and Miami Beach, boastthat no other metropolis has so muchto offer the angler. In fact, Allen Cor-son, for many years fishing editor ofIhe Miami Herald, once said that oilthe other major cities of the nation com-bmed could not duplicate the fishingthat the area within easv reach ofi.:rreater Miami provides

There is the Gulf Stream, „f course,iuid if you want to catch a sailfish, it'stor you. Charter boats with well-(jualified skippers, who know a greatdeal more about Gulf Stieam fishingthan I do, are available in both Miamiand Miami Beach.

If you re a bass fisherman and wantto catch the biggest bass you e\-er .saw,one of the best places in the world todo it is only about 75 miles from Miami.Lake Okeechobee has produced a greatmany ])ass of ten pounds or better, andthere is always the chance for a realInnker. Boats and guides are available.Nor is Okeechobee the only spot to fishfor bass. There are a hundred others.

There are reef fish, bay fish, bottomft.sh, and fish that can be caught frombridges, causeways, and seawalls. Inshort, there i.s .so much fishing, of sucha tremendous variety, that nobody could

possibly sample it all during an entiresummer, much less during the weekyou really ought to spend at it, eitherbefore or after the Convention.

Theref{)re, I have a suggestion: Takealong the tackle you use at home. Ignoresailfish and bass and all the bottom andreef fish and concentrate instead on

those species that are especially suitedto fly, bait-casting, or spinning tackle.This includes baby tarpon (10 inchesto 10 pounds), snook, bonefish, weak-fish (locally called trout or speckledtrout), ladyfish, jack cievalle, and channel bass (called redfish in Florida).Many other kinds of fish will be hookedwhile you're fishing for the seven I'velisted. They're all fun, but I preferthese, and I've given them in the orderof my choice.

It might come as somewhat of a surprise to the trout fishemian from Montana, the steelheader from Washington,or the Missouri bass angler to learn thathe doesn't have to buy different tacklein order to enjoy fishing in Florida. It is

true. howe\'er. A baby tarpon is justabout the finest fly-rod fish that swims.A snook on bass tackle will do everything a bass does. The only differenceis that the snook will do it harder, faster,and longer. A bonefish on a fly or onlight spinning tackle will make runs thatare simply unbelievable. And untilyou've hooked a jack that weighs aboutas much as a good bass at home, youhave no idea how strong a fish can be.

So your fly rod or bait-casting orspinning outfit is perfectly adapted to agreat deal of Florida's most excitingfishing. Many of your flies and lureswill work, too. You'll need long streamer flies and bucktails, most of themeither white or yellow for bonefish.snook, tarpon, and others. You'll wantpopping bugs—the same bugs you useat home for bass—for snook and tarpon.For your casting or spinning tackleyou'll need popping or darting top-water plugs, some under-water plugs,spoons, and feather or bucktail jigs.Most of these lures are already in yoiu"

tackle box, but rob the piggy bank before you leave so you can buy a fewmore that often are good in Florida butseldom are seen in the North.

So you're in Miami. Where to go?Almost anywhere! There is water inevery direction, and there are fish in thewater. It's almost as simple as that.You'll head south along the FloridaKeys toward Key West for bonefish, ofcourse, and this is one place whereyou'll need a guide the first time or two.There's a knack to seeing them on theflats and to hooking them once you haveseen them. Later, you can wade theflats alone and do all right. It's an easyhalf day from Miami to Key West, andthere is fishing all the way.

There are canals to the west andsouth of Miami that are ideal for plugging or fly fishing, and you don't needanything but a car to reach tliem. Justdrive along until you see fish working,or an inviting spot; then park off thepaved surface of the highway and startfishing. But, really, it's foolish for meto tell you where to go. You can getup-to-date information from any tackleshop and an authentic guide book, complete with maps, as well.

Now, here's another thing that willsurprise the first-time visitor: Many ofthese canals, such as tlie one along theTamiami Trail between Naples andMiami, are salt or brackish water, evenmiles from the Atlantic and Gulf. Yousee, Florida is, roughly speaking, 400miles long, 40 miles wide, and onlyfour inches high. To get the dirt tobuild the roads, they dug canals. Theydug the ditches and built the roads onthe banks. The canals flow into theGulf or Atlantic, as the case may be.The tide rises and falls in them. Andfish! Fish of many kinds wander in, findthings to their liking, and call it home.

Along the Tamiami Trail—an easy

day's trip out and back to Miami—aremany bridges, all numbered. The localpluggers and fly fisheimen locate tlieirfishing spots in relation to tliese bridges,so if the tackle dealer says, "Lots of bigsnook near Bridge 61," you park nearbyand start fishing.

Out the Tamiami Trafl about 75miles, as I recall, a road turns left toEverglades City, while the Trail continues straight ahead toward Naples.Not far from this corner there are somecuts (dead-end ditches possibly a quarter mile long) at right angles to thecanal beside the road. They were dugto provide extra dirt for highway construction.

Dan Holland and 1 were fishing themone morning, using fly rods and poppingbugs, when I came as close to havingheart failure as I ever hope to. We hadbeen catching baby tarpon, mostly fishfrom one and one-half to six pounds,and an occasional snook. I laid my bugout in the middle of a wide spot and, Iswear, a tarpon as long as I am rolledout and took it. He made a noise likefiring a shotgun with the muzzle underwater, the way tarpon do, and all buttook the rod out of my hands.

I was too petrified to set the hook-there was no use, anyway. He nearlybroke the leader on the strike. Aboutten yards of line peeled off the reel.Then he was gone. The hook had failedto engage a vulnerable spot in his bony-mouth.

The whole thing didn't last five seconds, but I'll never forget it. And thingslike that can happen to you at any time,with any kind of tackle, fishing saltwater in southern Florida. You neverknow what you'll hook.

Big tarpon are the exception in thecanals, however. You fish for them offthe Keys, or in the Ten Thousand Islands out from Everglades City or

^. 1

Catching a jack crcvalk- f)ii ijonr oifM tackle wiV .shotc you hotc poiveiiii] a fi.s'/j can ho.

Maico, which is a few miles farther upthe west coast. In the canals you getbaby tarpon—fish from ten ounces toten pounds, mostly—and they're tops onlight tackle.

First, they stiike like lightning. Theman never lived who could hook all, oreven the majority, of baby tarpon.Second, they don't sulk. There's nevera minute of pulling against a deadweight when you've hooked a tarpon.It's all violent action, mostly jumping,from the instant you set the hook untilhe tips over on his side exhausted andyou turn him loose. Third, once you getinto them, there is no faster fishing.

You locate a school by driving alongthe Trail until you see them rolling.You deteiTnine which way they're goingand stop the car a short distance ahead.You make a cast, jerk the bug, and gela sti'ike—instantly. You missed him. Another hits it. He's off with the firstjump. The bug falls back to the water.A third fi.sh strikes. You hook and landhim. You cast again. Another strike. It'sterrific! A man with a weak heart shouldnever fish for tarpon.

Snook are a little different. Somefolks like them better than tarpon,which are my first choice, but I wouldn'targue the point. Snook are great fish. Ialso feel that a snook of five or six

pounds gives a better account of himself on a stifRsh bait-casting rod. Theplug slapping against his face seems todrive him wild. A tarpon is wild to startwith, and I'd rather hook him on a fly.

Anyway, when yoxi're fishing forsnook, go at it just as you would forbass at home. Cast close to the overhanging grass along the canals or amongthe mangrove roots in the islands. Letyour top-water plug lie still for a fewseconds, then give it a sharp jerk, Continue the jerk-and-reel process untilyou've retrieved it for another cast. Youmight hook a tarpon—or a jack or red-fish or .something else. But you're mostlikely to find your snook close to cover,just like bass.

One of the great things about bothsnook and tarpon is the fact that the>'hit on the surface so consistently. Astrike on top where you can see it, andespecially a strike so violent that italmost makes you swallow your palate,is worth a dozen underwater. But the\don t always hit on top. Sometimes youhave to use sinking plugs or flies. In thiscase, darting plugs with erratic actionand long streamer flies are usually theticket.

Sometimes you can catch both snookand tarpon—and jacks, redfish, trout,ladyfish, and maybe half a dozen othervarieties—by wading in die warm surfand ca.sting off the beaches, still usingthe same freshwater tackle that youbrought from home. I like that, thoughthe casting itself is more fun where youhave a target—a hole among the mangroves. for example, which you find

To quicken the spirit of American patriotism . . .These words are found in the Preamble to the Constitution of the Benevolent and Protective Order of EUcs.They signify the intensely patriotic nature of Elkdomand our dedication to the preservation and perpetuationof our American way of life.

In these troubled times when we, as loyal Americans,see our democratic principles challenged from withinand from without, each of us must ever be mindful thatone of the primary objectives of our Order is that ofpatriotism. When we became Elks each of us made asolemn pledge to uphold and advance the patrioticobjectives of our Order. Patriotism is a quality deeplyembedded in our Elk history and underlies many ofourmajor programs of the past and in the present.

As we prepare to observe Flag Day onJuno 14th, the184th anniversary of Old Glory's adoption as ournational ensign by the Continental Congress, we cantake great pride in the fact that our Order has madeloyalty and service to our country an integral part ofthe reason for its existence and of its activities.

Let us never forget that it was tlie Order of Elkswhich in 1907 designated June 14th as Flag Day. Thiswas more than 40 years before Flag Day was recognized by Congressional resolution. When the GrandLodge made the Flag Day observance mandatory in

u express purpose of calling uponall Elks to renew their allegiance to the Stars andStripes. Flag Day was intended to be a day of re-dedication, in a spirit of patriotic fervor, to the Flagand the great American heritage of freedom and theriee institutions which it represents.

It IS important that we keep that purpose clearly inmind as we ready o„r lodge programs for this comingJune 14th because there is ahvays the possibihty. whenan observance is repeated year after year, that it mightslip into a pattern of routine sameness. We must neverallow this to happen in observing the birth date of ourcountry's Flag. Every Flag Day observance should beapproached in a spirit of renewed interest, dedication.

Patriotism

And Flag Day

and enthusiasm so that it will be carried out in a manner fully expressive of and appropriate to the inspiringpatriotic meaning of the occasion.

We should also remember that the si:)irit of Flag Dayis not reserved by Elks for just one day of tlie year. Itis kept alive throughout the year in our Elk lodges aswe regularly honor the Stars and Stripes at our fraternalceremonies. It has been rekindled over the years of ourOrder's history by acts of patriotism, of love for Flagand country. Our record of service to the nation, in twoWorld Wars, in the Korean War, the splendid work ofour Elks National Service Commission, should be asource of great pride to every Elk. These good worksare evidence (^f our Order's patriotic pur^Dose and aremanifestations of Elkdom's unceasing endeavors "toquicken the spirit of American patriotism.'

When we as Elks observe Flag Day this year, remember that it is:

Vowr flag and my fiag.

And Oh! how much it holds;

Your land and mij land

Secure within its folds;

Your heart and my heart

Beat quicker at the sight;

Sun kissed and wind tossed

The Red and Blue and White.

The one flag; the great flag;

The flag for me and you;

Glorified all else beside

The Red and White and Blue.

—Your Fl.\c and My Fla(.

FREEl»OM':S FACTS

An Economic Threat

THE RECESSION we are recoveringfrom should serve to remind us of animportant fact: that freedom can thriveonly in a strong society and strengthcan be maintained only when backedby a healthy, productive economy. Thecommunists know this, and thus theywould like to undeiTnine our economy.At the same time, they know that productivity is necessary for them to bestrong, even if their goal is anythingbut freedom. This month's excerpt fromFreedoni's Fads against Communismtells of recent gains in the Soviet Unionand of the threat thereby posed to theFree World. Freedom's Facts is themonthly publication of the All-AmericanConference to Combat Communism,whicli is composed of 50 national organizations including the Order of Elks.

The men in the Kremlin are gloatingover reported gains in Sovietindustrial output in 1960. Tnid,the Soviet labor newspaperclaimed (Feb. 10) that Sovietindustrial output rose 10 percent in 1960, "far above thetarget set for the second yearof the Seven Year Plan." Especially rapid growtli was notedin the output of electricalengineering products, powerand chemical equipment, automation devices, and syntheticfibers.

"Moreover," says Moscow, "capitalinvestment in 1960 was 11.5 per centliigher than in 1959, with investmentin machine building up 23 per cent."

(Whether or not the Soviet figuresare accin-ate, the USSR has proven itsability to grow industrially. At the sametime, their monolithic society has notproven capable of maintaining its goalsin agriculture. This may prove to be afatal flaw in Marxist-Leninist economics. Both the USSR and Red Chinasuffered food shortages in 1960, andthe result was that changes were madein the system to make agriculture moresimilar to its free counterpart that produces so successfully in the West.)

Even with the lag in agricultin-alproduction, Tnid claimed gains in output of grain, meat, milk, and eggs overthe 1959 figures. Also claimed wereincreases of 1.5 bilhon rubles in government spending for public education,health services, social insurance, andother social welfare benefits.

Tnid points out that, as USSR economists figure it, Soviet industrial outputin 1958 was 60 per cent of the U.S.'s,Its output rose to 66 per cent of U.S.

output in 1959 and 73 per cent of U.S.output in 1960. The paper adds, "Ifthis rate is maintained, in 1964 theSoviet Unions' industrial output will be7 per cent above the American 1958level."

On the other hand, says Trud, U.S.output has been lagging with someenterprises operating at only 40 to 50per cent of capacity, and "all this considerably weakened the position of theUnited States—both material and moral—in the economic competition with theSoviet Union."

Implications for the West are serious.Quoting from a Soviet handbook on thesubject; "When the [Seven Year] planhas been fulfilled, the USSR and othersocialist countries will be producingmore than half the world's total industrial outi^ut. Thus, absolute economicsuperiority of the world socialist systemover the capitalist system in material

production will be assured."While that statement is open

to challenge, the implicationsare there. V. I. Lenin promised in 1919 that "capitalismcan be utterly vanquished, andwill be xitterly vanquished, b>the fact that socialism createsa new and higher productivityof labor."

This view is strongly seconded by Soviet Premier Ni-kita Khrushchev. He declared

in 1957: "We do not intend to blow upthe capitalist world with bombs. If wecatch up with the United States in percapita production of meat, bxitter, andmilk, we will have hit the pillar ofcapitalism with the most powerful torpedo yet seen."

Also in 1957, Khrushchev explained,"The growth of industrial and agricultural production is the battering ramwith which we shall smash the capitalist system, enhance the influence of theideas of Marxist-Leninism, strengthenthe socialist camp, and contribute tothe victory of the cause of peacethroughout the world."

Communist leaders now expect toreach the point of victory in 1964, lessthan four years from now. From thenon thev expect rapid surrender of countries in the non-communist world to thepoh'tical leadership of national Communist Parties dominated by Moscow.

From the Kremlin's point of view, atleast, if we do not act to move sharplyahead of the Soviet Union within thenext one or two years, the doom offreedom is sealed for many years tocome. The big point is. howe\'er, thatthere is still time to act.

The Day Business Meets Its Owners(Continued from page 9)

aspect of its activities during this annual conclave.

How does management feel aboutthis growing trend towards "corporatedemocracy"? Outwardly, the era of thedespotic board chairman who regardsthe annual meeting as a pain in theneck, a waste of his time, and a blastednuisance to be disposed of as quicklyas possible, is gone forever. However,many firms frankly attempt to avoidstockholder interrogation by stagingtheir annual meetings in as inconvenient a location as possible, in hard-to-get-to Hoboken, for instance, ratherthan in New York City. Not long agoa leading company held its annualmeeting at a remote women's club inFlemington, New Jersey. If the president of the firm had been desperatelyneeded for a decision at the homeoffice, he would have had to be contacted by pay phone in the lobby-theonly telephone in the entire building.Many other firms continue to hold theirmeetings in relatively-inaccessiblereaches of the country such as Water-town, New York, Saltville, Virginia, andso on. The thought behind this corporate "inpublicity" is to keep attendance down and the questions at a minimum. Ironically, manv of these samecompanies hold their board of directorsmeetings (which only corporation executives can attend) in New York Citv,the most convenient spot for all.

Theie aie still anumber of crusty chiefexecutives around who become apoplectic gavel thumpers the moment a stockholder stands on his feet to ask questions. One company slaft, for instance,became quite disturbed several yearsago over the fact that some particularlyvocal stockholders were bringing elec-tnc-powered megaphones into the annual meetiiig room to make sure thatt ey were heard at the podium, since

years had been quite successful in "not

.k® ^ was thatthe corporation was reduced to search-

the "^"^Ployers" going intothe annual meeting.A corporate official vvas once re-

vVTJ"' frustrationby stockholders continued motions tocut s unusually high paycheck. Downon the meeting room floor an elderlyshaicholder loy;il to the executive,promptly challenged the questioningstockholder to physical combat and thetwo nearly tangled in the aisle'

An independent shareholder notedlor needling coriDoration top executivesis Mr.s. Wilma Soss, president of anorganization called the Federation ofWomen Shareiiolder.s in American Busi-ne.s.s, Inc. (FOWSAB). She campaignsregularly for more women on the top

30

boards of corporations, basing her argument on the fact that most of thenation's corporate wealth is recordedin the names of women, as well asfor other corporate reforms. She hasappeared at annual meetings in widow sweeds (mouniing the death of a corporate dividend), in 19th Century attire {to point out that the companywas living in the past instead of thefuture), and has even come accompanied by a 200-pound bodyguard aftershe had been threatened with expulsionfrom certain meetings by irate corporation executives.

There are some executives who stillsay, in effect, "If you don t like theway we are running the company, sellyour stock." But this is a little bit likesaying "If you don't like the way theUnited States is being run. leave thecountry." The vocal supporters of increased corporate democracy believethat the give and take of the annualmeeting is one way to improve the corporation without selling stock. Theymaintain a dissatisfied person has aright—and even a duty—to work for andto cast his proxy votes for the changeshe wants made in the administration ofhis corporation.

Lawyer Stanley Coughman recenth"stated their view when he said, "Themost dangerous pitfalls for the investorare ignorance and laziness; . . . stockholders arc apt to get the kind of management they deserve. To obtain bettermanagement, stockholders shovild become better corporate citizens."

A recent editorial in the FinancialTimes of Canada said the same thingin slightly different words. "To waituntil the operations of a company havebegun to sour before showing curiosity

as to how the company is doing is tantamount to locking the door after thehorse is gone. The decline in corporation fortune sets in long before there isanv serious impairment in earnings orin dividend payments; and if the shareholder takes an intelligent interest in hisinvestment, he will save himself a greatdeal of worry and ultimate loss. . . .The days when the observations of asmall shareholder at an annual meetingwere treated as an impertinence havegone. . . . The shareholder who doesnot take advantage of this change inthe attitude of direction and management should not be holding commonstocks."

The vehicle by which an independentstockholder can change his corporationis the proxy statement. Corporate management, through the proxy, must eachyear ask the shareholder for the rightto continue at the corporate helm.Proxy forms are usually distributedwell in advance of each annual meeting, and through them an independentstockholder can voice his approval orhis condemnation of the way his company is being run. Too many stockholders today blindly sign the proxyautomatically, and return it to management. This is an unknowing ballot forthe status quo-things as they are. Tovote for a change in the way the company is being run, the shareholdershould withhold his proxy or vote it inopposition to management's wishes.

One of the most important itemswhich many independent shareholdersare now voting their proxies for is asecret ballot in the electing of directors.Employees, for instance, often hold 5per cent to 10 per cent of a firm's stocktoda\-, yet they feel they cannot vote

JUNE 14 IS FLAG DAYElkdom will pay tribute to the Amer

ican flag and all that it stands for againthis year. The date of Flag Day isJune 14,although some lodges will holdtheir obsei-vances on either the weekendpreceding or following.

"Ours being a patriotic fraternity, itbehooves us to promote pride, fervor,and familiarity with all that Old Glorystands for, not only among our membersbut all Americans. There is no middleground—either we are Americans or wearen't. Let us leave no doubt in anyone's mind where Elks stand."

So wrote Patrick H. Kiiig, member of

the Grand Lodge Committee on LodgeActivities, to all Exalted Rulers. He alsostressed the need for submitting reportspromptly for judging. Accounts of thoseFlag Day observances—programs, clippings, photographs, etc.—that are judgedbest will be displayed at the GrandLodge Convention. Awards will also bepresented there, both for lodges withmore than 700 members and for thosewith fewer than 700.

'Mrs. Wihua Soss, president of FOWSAB,has appeared at annual meetings in19th Century attire to point out tlurtthe con^pamj was living in the past."

ugainst inanagenient openly for fear oflosing their jobs. Similarly, small businessmen who are suppliers to a company and who own stock in it may alsofind it embarrassing and unprofitable totry to vote down even a very bad management. A secret ballot would allowall stockholders to vote on principlerather than expediency.

If you, as an independent businessman and a small shareholder, have adefinite view about the way the companies whose shares you own shouldbe run, you can actually have yourviews voted on, via the annual proxy.Securities and Exchange Commissionrules are set up to guarantee that yourviews will be heard.

Perhaps you want a post-meeting report issued so that stockholders whowere unable to attend the meeting canknow what went on.

Or you may want an "outside" director on the board to represent independent stockholders.

Maybe you would like to put a cashceiling on the amount of money anexecutive can earn.

Or perhaps you want a woman onthe board of directors—or the annualmeeting held in a large metropolitanarea.

All you have to do is to make yourproposal in writing, in less than 100words, and have it in the hands of thecompany secretary just 60 days priorto the date of the previous year whenpi'oxy material was mailed out. Thenyou must plan to attend the meetingyourself (or have someone attend foryou) to make your motion verballyfrom the floor. If ycnu* motion earns3 per cent or more of the votes of thestockholders—both those attending andthose submitting their proxies by mail-it must be carried on the proxy formfor the following year.

Quite obviously, your maverick suggestion has a slim chance of beingvoted in. Far too manv of the nation's

more than twelve million stockholders(plus the investment trusts and the insurance companies which own largeblocks of stock) automatically votetheir huge holdings for managementwithout a second thought. But a goodsuggestion that gets other stockholdersstilling can often spur management intovoluntary acceptance.

If you do vote your proxy regularlyand suggest ideas intelligently, you willbe fulfilling your role as a corporatecitizen. Keith Funston, president ofthe New York Stock Exchange, believesso, and he says: "We believe it is theright of the stockholder—in his role ofresponsible owner of property—to casthis vote in the affairs of his company.

"We at the Exchange feel so strongly about the importance of the right tovote that for the past thirty years wehave refused to list any non-votingcommon stocks. And recently westrengthened that policy by makingsolicitation of proxies a prerequisite tolisting. The New York Stock Exchangeis the only securities marketplace in theworld to have such a requirement, and95 per cent of all companies on theExchange conform.

"Our form of capitalism is changing.We seek millions of new and financially-qualified shareholders to supply thegrowth capital our expanding economyneeds.

"Our responsibility is to provide amarketplace that merits confidence andis used by responsible people—one thathelp tlie flow of money into businessso business can provide goods for consumers and jobs for workers. We can'texpect people everywhere to buy a direct ov/nership interest in industry unless they have' full knowledge of whatthey are doing. Investors must be giventhe facts."

So, in the spring, while MickeyMantle flexes his muscles in Floridaand the robins wing toward the maple.sof the north, more and more Americanstake off a day from work to wanderinto the annual meetings of the companies whose shares they have purchased. Undoubtedly, they find there awarm corporate smile, a friendly handshake, and a box lunch of cold chickenand sandwiches waiting for them. Theyalso meet an interesting collection ofpeople. They find retired inventorsshouting from the annual meeting i^oorthat their devices are being used by thecompany without royalty payments.Some show much more interest in thesandwich fillings and the souvenirs thanin the functions of corporate management. Professional meeting-goers areon hand to heckle management on allsorts of personal matters. But most important, there are hundreds of peoplejust like themselves who are out merelyto get a close look at how their corporation is faring, and who are interestedin making it work better and more prof-itablv in the vears to come. • •

CAXASTA

Play Cards WithJohn R. Crawford

PEOPLE often ask me which card gameis my favorite. That is a difficult question for me to answer, as I honestly likedozens of games. However, if I mustmake a selection I would have to pickbetween four: bridge, poker, canasta,gin rummy.

I don't think a week goes by that Idon t play each of these games at leastonce. Of the four I unquestionablyplay bridge the most. Does that makebridge my favorite? I don't know. Ithink that a great deal depends on mymood.

If I am in a thoughtful mood andinterested in the science of cards-bridge.

If I am interested in liie mental processes and psychology of the people Iplay with-poker.

If I feel like a game that exercisesmy memory and ingenuity-gin rummy.

If I feel like a game ofbig and sometime unpredictable swings—canasta.

The first three of these games emphasize the three skills that a card expertmust have to play any game well:Knowledge of the science of the game,knowledge of the psychology of youropponents, and a fine memory.

The fourth game that I mentioned,canasta, is a game of great excitementand is easy to learn; but, as in all cardgames, the "three skills" are required.

Last month I discussed some of thebasic aspects of canasta science, including when to meld and not to meld

lu discard pile, andthe fact that the side that gets the first^c (discard pile) is almost alwaysthe winner of that hand.

Perhaps even more important thanmelding properly is discarding properly.Here is where a good memory plusknowledge of your opponents and theirpsychology will be of great assistance.

EARLY DISCARDINGThere are two objectives you strive

tor ni discarding at canasta. One isnot to give the pack to your left-handopponent. The other i.s to keep yourright-hand opponent guessing aboutyour hand so that he may throw a cardthat will give you the pack.

You can't do much about the formeron your first couple of discards. Since

54

they are made very much in the blind,any card, except a black three, mightgive your opponent the pack.

However, often there is somethingyou can do to keep your right-handopponent guessing about your hand inthe early play.

You do this by matching his discards.Let's say he throws a five; it is yourturn to play and if you have a fiveamong your odd cards, you throw it.Next he throws you a seven and youhave one seven and throw it. He nowknows you haven't iives or sevens, butsince both of his cards probably weresingletons and he has no more, thatinformation won't help him and hisnext discard must be a different denomination that might give you thepack.

As a rule, any player will discard anodd card on the first couple of plays.This is natural enough; in the early partof the hand, when the pack is small,everyone is ttusy clearing out his handand building up to the count. But evenin this weeding-out process there isgood and bad strategy.

Let's say you have three odd cards inyour hand. It is yoiirfirst discard so you haveno clue as to what toplay. You .should discard the heart kingfirst, the club seven atyour next turn, and the

black three the third round, when thepack will have become fairly large andworth protecting.

Most players would do just the reverse and as a resuU might easily losethe pack on the third round when theythrow the king.

The reason for playing the king firstis twofold: Even if your left-hand opponent has kings, at that stage he mightnot have the count; and if he does havethe count and takes the pack on thefirst round tiiere is no harm done, because the pack is so small at that stage.

The theory is to make your dangerousdiscards early.

DISCARDING AFTER A FEW ROUNDS

After two or three rounds have goneby, your technique of discardingchanges. If no one has taken the dis

card pile it will contain anywhere fromnine to thirteen cards, and it is now aprize well worth fighting for. Yourstiategy now is to avoid throwing anymore odd cards and try to play safe.By now you should have three clues tohelp you;

A. The cards you have thrown thatyour left-hand opponent didn't take.

B. Cards that are already in the discard pile.

C. Cards that your left-hand opponent has thrown.

Case A speaks for itself. It you havethrown a card that your opponentdidn'ttake, there is a fair assumption that thedenomination is safe.

Case B. If several cards of a certaindenomination have previously beenthrown, that reduces the percentagethat a pair is held by your left-handopponent. Let's say a five was turnedup and your partner and right-handopponent have each thrown a five. Ifyou have two fives, or even one, it ishighly unlikely that this early in theplay your opponent can take a five.

Case C. This is the single most important piece of advice I can give theaverage canasta player. Remember verycarejuJhj your left-hand opponent's firstand second discards. They were probably singletons, part of the process ofcleaning out the hand and building upto the count. After a couple of rounds,your safest discard generally is a cardmatching your left-hand opponent's firstor second discard (except when he istapping, which I will discuss next).

Here is a little hint to help you toremember. If your opponent throws aking on the first play and a seven onthe next play, put your kings and sevenson the extreme left (or right) of yourhand. Now when you are pressed fora discard after the pack has grown alittle, you know where to look for yoursafest throws. In this case the kingwould be a fraction safer than theseven, simply because it was the firstcard thrown and is slightly more likelyto have been an odd card.

TRAP DISCARDING

Trap discarding is sometimes called"fishing" or "advertising." Very simply,it is discarding from a set of three or

more in an effort to coax your opponentto give you the pack. Some players"fish" as often as they can, others hardlyever throw from a set, particularly earlyin the play.

Here are examples of trap discarding;

f ' /J0 A A 9 9 5 f) 5 4 4 3ER 4 ¥ 4k ♦ 4 4 ¥ 4 ♦ 4|

\f—7

A is a perfect hand to trap with whenyou need 50 or 90. Your correct play isto throw two fives on your first twoplays and then a black three. Afterthree rounds you will probably havedrawn some card that you feel fromprevious plays is safe to throw andkeep your hand in wonderful position totiike the pack, with your four pairs.

In hand B you have the countwhether you need 50 or 90, and athreesome to throw from. But youshould not fish with the five. TheI'eason is that you would have to throwcompletely strange cards the next coupleof rounds, and you leave yourself withfin unplayable hand if you lose thepack. If you throw a couple of oddcards and after a few rounds the packhas not been taken, then you go toyour lives, both to fish and to try andP'ay safe.

discarding hints

Vary xjour game: Don't always throw••iingletons the first couple ofplays. Butneither should you trap too often, particularly on hands like B above. Varyyour style, keep your opponents guess-

Spo«/ng a trap: Here is where psychology enters into the game. You justlave to study your opponent's habits

decide whether he is the "tricky"ype or not. This is all the advice I

give you for spotting a fish on thenist couple of rounds. After a fewlounds, however, when the pack hasgrown, any brand-new denomination

^fit is .started is very likely throwna gioup of three or more.

When not to play safe: The advice Iave given yoti applies when both sides

'leed the same count, or when youre needs less than the opponents,

owever, you don't play safe, and youseldom fish, when you need a higher

1the other side. If you needon the opponents need only 50 or' ^ is extremely difficult for your side0 build up to the count and still pro

tect the pack. So don't play all-out forthe pack, if you need a higher countthan the other side; just treat it as aboon that might come your way but ismore likely to go to the opponents. • •

IIV THE DOG HOUSE

Watchdogsfor the

Animal

WorldBy ED FAUST

ONE OF THE UNANSWERED, perhaps unanswerable questions of anthropology is when dogs were first domesticated by man. All we know is that theassociation began long before historywas recorded, but the time of its beginning is veiled in the mists of antiquity.

Despite an alliance so ancient as todefy successful research, it was onlya little more than a hundred years agoin England that it occurred to men toform a society for the prevention ofcruelty to dogs and the protection of allanimals. Up to that time, ill treatmentof dogs and other animals was a common practice. Horses were overworkedand beaten without restraint, other thanoccasional individualprotest; dogs wereemployed to pull heavily-loaded cartsand worked on treadmills to the point ofexhaustion. The brutal so-called sport ofdog fighting was accepted by many assimple entertainment.

But the society for the protection ofanimals awakened the conscience of theEnglish people so that these deplorablecustoms are now seldom seen in thatcountry. It wasn't long after the Englishsociety was formed that a similar organization was created in the UnitedStates by Henry Bergh, who organizedthe American Society for the Preventionof Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA).

The story of Henry Bergh is an interesting one. Bergh was a New Yorker, a socialite, connoisseur of art, andali-around good fellow. He was a well-to-do man moving in circles of equalaffluence. It wasn't until he was well

36

into middle age that he showed particular interest in animal welfare. Itwas only then, when he returned fromRussia where he had served as secretary for the American Legation by appointment of President Lincoln, that hebecame deeply stirred by the prevailingunhappy lot of most domestic animalsin this country, particularly in andaround New York City. He industriously solicited his many influential friendsto form an organization dedicated toanimal welfare.

The work was not easy. Kindness toanimals was not as widespread as it istoday, and the idea of a group of individuals pledged to fight crvielty was awholly new concept. In fact too fewwere aware of any obligation to animals. But Henry Bergh was persistent,and in 1866 the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals was created—first an-d now the oldest body of itskind in the United States. Today thereare approximately 700 recognized humane societies in this country. Thenumber of informal groups engaged inanimal welfare work nobody knows,but there's little doubt that there arehundreds throughout the nation.

IN MOST PLACES, maintenance of animal shelters and dog pounds is up

to local or state governments, whichissue dog licenses and collect fees aswell as enforce license laws. But theSociety for the Prevention of Crueltyto Animals is strictly a New York stateagency with state-wide powers, operating chiefly in and around New York

ASPCA PHOTO

City. It derives part of its income frombeing the sole authority delegated byNew York City to issue licenses, collectfees and enforce the law governinganirnal protection. Its other sources ofrevenue are from memberships, endowments, and bequests.

To detail the operations of the manyrecognized animal welfare agencies inone issue would be impossible, butsince most of them function much thesame as the ASPCA, it will be of interest to use that organization as anexample. Very often I receive lettersfrom readers who express deep concernfor animals, and there may be someamong them to whom this couldbe useful for establishing an animal welfarestation. For an organization of privateindividuals to sponsor such a projectwould be purely a matter of charity,dependent upon voluntary contributions. If local government can be induced to participate and share theexpense, so much the better. Unfortunately, some local governments havean eye only to the collection of licensefees and maintaining hit-or-miss supervision over dogs and their welfare. Accommodations for impounded dogs mayrange from poor to downright disgraceful. Some private agencies lacking sufficient public support are unfortunatelyhandicapped financially and thus areunable to afford even the barest necessities for distressed or homeless animals.Not even the ASPCA is free from thewant of money, as long established andwell organized as it is.

Rod and Gun

(Continued from page 11)

among the Ten Thousand Islands oralong the canals.

Dan Holland and I were fishing offthe beach at Marco—left turn bet%veenEverglades City and Naples-one day,when I saw a big tarpon roll. He hadan eye like a grapefruit and must haveweighed 125 pounds. I put my plug infront of him with my puny, little bassoutfit-an act of indiscretion whichEaves Allison once described as )^stlike shooting grizzly bears with a Flitgun—and gave a couple of jerks. Something took it.

I bore down on the spool or my bait-casting reel with my thumb. You bassfishei-men, did you ever see a mansthumb just melt and run away? Mmedid. It smoked, I swear. I whippedthe handkerchief out of my pocket withmy other hand and pressed do\^i onthe spool with a wad of it while thehne sizzled out. r ^ n

It peeled off for a long time, fast allthe way. I called to Dan, "Ive hookeda tarpon as long as you are, but hewon't jump."

Dan said nothing. He was trying tointercept a school of big snook thatwere cruising through the clear water.

Mv fish finally stopped, circled, came

my way while I gained some line, thenmade another mn. Then he circledagain. Then he dogged it. He justhung out there, about 100 yards away,and nothing I might do could move himat all.

At last, witli aiTTi muscles aching, Ifinally got him coming. He protested alittle more, but not much, and I slidhim up on the beach. He was a jackcrevalle that might have weighed tenpounds. All bass, trout, and muskiefishei-men should meet a jack. Personally, I'd rather not hook them.They're too hard to land. I like fishthat exhaust themselves by jumping so1 can land them quickly and then castagain.

We drove down along the Keys oneday, south from Homestead, which ifmy memory serves me right is about 25miles from Miami. We stopped at KeyLargo. Here, in a spot where we couldsee a vast expanse of shallow water,one of the famous "flats" of the FloridaKeys, I caught my first bonefish.

I had two able mentors, Dan Hollandand Joe Brooks. Wading in the warm,shallow water-you can get a quartermile from shore and still not be waistdeep—we soon saw a small school of

THE ElKS MAGAZINE 'What worries me is, is fhe world ready for them?'

bonefish cruising. Joe said, "They'remighty spooky. Cast well ahead ofthem."

I laid my big, yellow sti'eamer flydown about 15 feet ahead of the swiftlymoving fish. Joe said, "Too far. Castcloser."

I picked up the line—they were about40 feet away—and put the fly back eightfeet in front of them. He said, "Tootar yet. Closer."

I put it down a couple of feet aheadof the lead bonefish and gave the line apull or two. He took it. I set thehook. What happened then was incredible. I saw that bonefish well, andI'm sure he couldn't have weighed morethan six pounds, yet he ran straightaway with the speed of a greyhound,while I held the rod high to keep theline clear of sea fans and coral, for afull 100 yards!

Suddenly, he stopped, and I reeledhim in—all the way. When I got him tomy feet, 1 discovered that I had onlyhalf a bonefish. A shark or barracudahad bitten him squarely in two. I hadlanded his head and a third of the body.

' I

After that, I caught some bonefishthat sharks didn't get. It was great.They were not nearly so wild nor hardto hook as I had expected, but their firstrun was simply unbelievable. For afive or six-pound fish to go 100 yardslike an express train—and most bonefishwill go 100 yards on their first run—isreally something. You don't see howanything that size can have so muchpower.

Every angler should catch a bonefish.It's an experience you'll remember. It'sbeen talked about and written aboutand you should do it. To me, however,both snook and tai-pon are more fun. Idon't contend they're better fish. Isimply like tliem better. When I goback to Florida-as I surely will—I'llspend more time with snook and babytarpon. I'll use my fresh-water tackle—the same tackle I use at home—and I'llcatch some trout and ladyfish, wliichare terrific on a fly, and redfish and afew jacks (you can't help tliat) andsome bonefish. But mosdy, IH fish forsnook and tarpon. I have some newideas on how to catch them. • •

A/1 example of what could happen (hut probably won't) if you try deep-sea fishingtohile in Florida is the experience last year of Brother Jaiues A. O'Brien. An attorneyend a member of New York No. 1 Lodge, he teas fishing off Key West when hehooked a giant mako shark. After an hour and a quarter the shark called it quits. Noscale was available to weigh the monster, but it teas estimated at 1,150 pounds, anunofficial world's record. The huge fish was thirteen feet five inches long. Shown inthe picture are FUght Officers Max Abbot and John Paskarak, on leave from the RCAF,Homer Gilpin, whose skiff was the scene of the battle, Hoinerita Gilpin, and Mr. O'Brien.

Institute of MercyThe battle against cerebral palsy is

being waged in places other than clinicsand hospitals. As is tme of all of man's•stniggles to rid himself of tragic healthproblems, study and research are ])e-hind each new medicine or techniquethat is administered at the front line ofpatient care.

In addition, new methods, materials,and infoirnation must be disseminatedto those who will administer them.Toward that goal, Boston Universityand the Massachusetts Elks Association,in cooperation with the Children's Medical Center of Boston, conduct an Annual Institute on Cerebral Palsy.

This month, nurses, therapists, andf)thers who deal with cerebral palsywill convene for two weeks of lectures,demonstrations, and clinical experiments. Most of them will attend on

scholarships provided by the Elks National Foundation, which will total approximately $2,000. The MassachusettsElks Association has provided a grantof $1,500 for defraying expenses of theInstitute itself.

During the first week of tlie Institute,consideration will be given to orthopedic surgery, speech, physical and occupationaltherapy, social service, dentalwork, p.sychological evaluation, community planning, and educational andclinical methods in dealing with secondary school children.

The second week will focus attentionon education of the preschool and elementary school child, training of thementally retarded, speech and hearingcounseling, seizures, recreational methods, and vocational counseling, training,placement, and guidance.

President Harold C. Case of Boston University (second from righ!) receives ocheek for $1,500 from John F. Malley Past Grand Exalted Ruler and Choir-man of the Elks Notional Foundation. The check was presented in behalf ofthe Massachusetts Elks Association to underwrite the Ninth Annual Instituteon Cerebral Palsy, sponsored by the Association and the University in cooperation with the Children's Medical Center of Boston.

to be built with a theme to be in thelocal vogue. On the beachfront scenecame such palaces as the Lucerne witha Swiss theme, the Barcelona whichwas all Spanish, tlie di Lido which inspired ideas of Venice, the Eden Rocwhich was Franco-Italian and has acopy of the "Winged Victory of Samo-thrace on the front lawn, the Americanawhich culled the best of all the Americas, and the ne plus ultra of them all,the Fontainebleau, which is ConventionHeadquarters for the Elks.

Built on the Harvey Firestone estate,the Fontainebleau opened with greatfanfare in 1954 with 565 rooms and anatmosphere that made Versailles looklike a public park. It cost 15 milliondollars, a price which probably includesthe price of bringing over the mayor ofFontainebleau, a city outside Paris, forthe opening. He planted a tree whichwas supplied by a local nursery because the tree he brought with himfrom the Forest of Fontainebleau wasimpounded by the agriculture inspectors at the port of New York. Even thepress agent wore a beret on openingdav, and the ceremonies were notmarred by the fact that the mayorlooked up at the great hotel and pronounced the exterior architecture tobe •'bouiikhame," a fish stew servedin a soup plate in Marseille.

Nonetheless, the Fontamebleau became the subject of a Saturday EveningPost article. It also became a success.Last fall the Fontainebleau unveiled agiant addition with 485 more roomsand a giant ballroom in which 5,000can have dinner at the same time. Onlythe ocean keeps the Fontainebleaufromgetting any bigger. If all the diningfacilities were to be in use at one time,the Fontainebleau (which you will hearcalled the Fontaineblue in MiamiBeach) could serve a whole U.S. division at one setting, or 15,000 people.

Farther up-Beach, the motels, too,decided that they should have a theme.The Thunderbird (all Indian) labelledits wash rooms "braves and squaws."The Sahara decorated its front yuidwith plaster-of-Paris Arabs and camels.Then came such exotic names as Suez,Tangier, Tahiti, Bali, and other handles adapted from way stations of theworld that conjure thoughts of romanceand adventure. With their intriguingnames, their fanciful architecture, andtheir rates, which in summer could dropdown to $4 or $5 a room, the inns ofmotel row north of Miami Beach offeran attraction that is not easy to turndown.

An effortless way to see the hotelsand estates of Miami Beach is to glidealong the inland waterway on a sightseeing boat. The commentary offers awho's who to the winter estates of the

Gimbels of New York, the Donaldsonsof Minneapolis, the Honeywells of Indiana, the Briggses of Detroit, and theMaytags of Iowa. The tour takes inthe hotel where the romance started

between the Duke of ^Vindsor and Mrs.Simpson and the former home of JamesCox, three times governor of Florida,presidential candidate in 1920, andnewspaper publisher. The Gray Linewhich runs the tours also has on handand available for rent a Lounge Cruiserwhich will accommodate 80 people fora floating reception. It is equipped toserve refreshments and canapes.

Window shoppers and real spenderswill find a striking innovation in thenew Lincoln Road Mall in MiamiBeach. Opened last fall, the eight-block pedestrian strip is lined withhandsome shops and decorated with allsorts of flora, with shade structures ofMartian design, black and white stripedsidewalks that are supposed to remindone of Rio. The mall is closed to allvehicular traffic except a silent littletrain that takes the footsore iip anddown the rose-tinted roadway. Amongthe ground rules are no bikes, no dogs,no roller skating. An advantage forsummer visitors are the seasonal saleswhen stores are eager to unload themerchandise left from winter. Althoughmany stores will post "sale" signs in thewindow, it doesn't necessarily followthat all items shown in the window areon sale.

Fountains play at night along theLincoln Road Mall, which has become 1a place to stroll in the evenings. It is '

.especially favored by husbands sincethe stores are closed. While nocturnalactivity is not at its mid-winter pitch,there is enough to do up-Beach. Forinstance: At the Fontainebleau thefamed La Rondc Room is closed butthe Boom Boom Room is open withguest stars each night. The Mona LisaRoom of the Eden Roc is closed, butHarry's American Bar is open and usually jumping. Galas will be held everySunday night. The Bamboo Room ofthe venerable Roney Plaza stays open,and at the mammoth Carillon Hotel,the French Dressing review will continue all summer.

Miami Beach acts as if it discoveredt^ating, and it ofters a broad rangefrom grand hotel dining rooms tosandwich counters. Its cafeterias areprobably the biggest, fanciest, andbest stocked in the world, Hot cornedbeef sandwiches, hot pastrami, sourcream with pot cheese or garden vegetables, bagels, and blintzes are amongthe dishes you will find on Miamimenus. Blintzes are light, thin pancakes wrapped around a portion ofcheese. As for bagels, the butt of somany comedian jokes, they are rollsthat look like doughnuts but are aschewy as taffy. They are often servedwith smoked salmon (called lox downhere) and cream cheese. Some practi-

tioners throw a slice of raw onion onfor good measure.

Aside from these delicacies of theJewish kitchen, Miami Beach alsohouses some famed restaurants, amongthem Joe's Stone Crabs. It's open whilestone crabs last. Last year the placedidn't close until August, remainingshuttered until October. Aside fromstone crabs, which are found only inlocal waters and are served cold witha warm butter sauce, Joe's carries acomplete line of seafood including suchFlorida specialties as pompano andlocal lobster. If you insist on it they'llgive you a steak or chops, but theocean is Joe's preserve and his clientshave included everyone from DamonRunyon (one of whose stories appearson the menu) to Eddie and Liz, whocame both nights when they were lastin town.

For anyone who would like to goout and catch his own fish, there areplenty waiting to be caught—but I'llturn that over to fishing expert TedTrueblood, who writes elsewhere in thisissue about the excitement Florida offersto fishermen.

Only five minutes from the skyscrapers of downtown Miami, Crandon Park,on the isle called Key Biscayne, encompasses 903 acres of palms, beach,and seclusion. The palms are said tocomprise the largest stand in NorthAmerica, and if the resemblance issupposed to conjure memories of theSouth Pacific, as some insist, there aresuch Atlantic improvements hereaboutsas barbecue pits, picnic tables, cabanas,and a 22-acre zoo for youngsters. Morethan 10,000visit the zoo each weekend,most of them small fry who mix rightin with the turkeys, sheep, calves,chickens, piglets, and roaming rabbits.

There is plenty in Crandon Park forgrownups too, not the least of which isthe secluded hotel called the Key Biscayne which has acquired some famesince it was the site for the famousmeeting between Kennedy and Nixonfollowing the election. Kennedy camedown from Palm Beach, 65 miles tothe north, to see Nixon, who was ensconced in a villa on the grounds. Ithas a square pool (which is unusualdown here) and a chip course. Roomscost anywhere from $10 to $14 in summer without meals.

Also for grownups is the EnglishPub, a saloon in the park that is decorated with 400 pewter mugs and acovey of waitresses who dress in thekilt. The pewter mugs all belong tosomeone or other, and among the proprietors are the former Vice President,Mr. Nixon, and the ex-Lord Mayor ofLondon. Don't ask me to explain thegeography, but alongside the EnglishPub is the Jamaica Inn which is sortof a jungle that serves food. The tablesare scattered around an arboretum ofsorts which gi'ows dazzling orchids andtree ferns and sports a waterfall and

the only breadfruit tree growing onmainland Florida.

Off die causeway that leads toCrandon Park is Miami's Seaquarium,a piscatorial installation that resemblesthe Marinelands of Florida and the Pacific. There is a large taiik with portholes where sharks skim by, separatedfrom the edible public by nothing morethan a sheet of glass. Poi-poises frolic,divers descend to handfeed the fish,and a whole show is performed periodically with the spectators shielded fromthe Florida sun by the advanced modernity of an aluminum geodesic dome.Here porpoises play basketball andbaseball, ring bells, and otherwisecavort in a manner as yet unperfectedby any other fish.

A unique feature of the Seaquariumis its lighting system which has beeninstalled for the benefit of visitingphotographers. Lensmen loaded withfast film have naught to do except pusha wall button, and lo, the fish tankslight up like a summer afternoon.Among the residents waiting to bephotographed are spotted goatfish, marbled puffers, octopuses, and man-eatingpiranhas imported from the Amazon.

Anybody inspired by a visit to theSeaquarium to get out and visit withthe fish in their native state will findcharter and reef fishing available froma marina in Crandon Park.

So many dry-land attiactions stretchin all directions that Greater Miami hasbecome an enormous car rental iDool.One survey estimates that one-fourthof all the rental cars in the world arein operation down here. The 80 agen

cies in business in Greater Miami count10,000 cars among them, includingeverything from a miniscule compactto an air-conditioned Jaguar. Winterrates may run anywhere from $55 to$90 a week plus eight cents a mile.Add another dollar a day and a pennya mile for automatic transmissions.

A broad selection of attractionsawait by the side of the road. Onein the immediate vicinity is famousHialeah Race Track. Although the racemeeting is held in the prime winterseason, the track is open around theclock for anyone who wants to take alook. It is one of the most beautifultracks in the world with its magnificentgardens and troops of flamingoes prancing about the center field.

Flamingoes promenade, too, at theParrot Jungle, padding over soft lawnsshaded by jungle fronds. Walls dripwith bougainvillea and macaws fly sorties overhead. It is as pretty a sight asyou will see in Florida. Besides delighting the eye and soothing the soul,the Parrot Jungle stages an almostunbelievable show in which parrots,cockatoos, and such scream and spreadtheir feathers on cue, skid down a slide,count up to seven, and set off a cannon.

Should a rainy day appear (heavenforfend!) and you find yourself witha packet of over-energetic small fry onhand, Miami's Museum of Science andNatural History is a logical and air-conditioned place to store them for afew hours. You'll find everything onhand from prehistoric monsters to pop-sickle dispensers. Not the least of theattractions is a 64-seat junior plane-

THE BEST HEAVYWEIGHT I EVER SAW

The Long CountProved It

By ED»IE EAGA>'FORMER CHAIRMAN, NEW YORK ATHLETIC COMMISSION

WIllARD

MUlllN

IF I HAD NOT had a youthful careerin boxing I would probably have selected my top heavyweight from someof the wonderful fighters I saw duringmy seven-year tenure as New York

State boxing commissioner—men likeJoe Louis, Jersey Joe Walcott, RockyMarciano, and Floyd Patterson. However, I boxed both Jack Dempsey andGene Tunney and knew both.

I feel Jack Dempsey was the greatesthitter who ever lived, but I also ratedGene tops for his strategy and boxingability. I regard Tunney as the greatest, based on his seventh round in thesecond Dempsey fight in Chicago.

Tunney was knocked down, not withone left hook but with seven terrificblows. The referee did not start counting immediately because he was gettingJack to a neutral comer, as had beenagreed before the contest.

Tunney was dazed, but in spite of ithe knew enough to look over to his owncorner for the signal that would tell

tarium, but there are also models ofSeminole Indian villages, nuclear reactors, and even a giant Alaskan bear.Unlike almost any other exhibit inFlorida, it's free.

Across the street from the museumstands Vizcaya, the enormous estatewhich James Deering of the harvesterfamily built as a home. Several yearsago it became a museum, and the general public can filter through it now andcluck over the Roman baths, the formal gardens with their jasmine hedges,and the swimming pool that is half in-

him when to get up. It was a towelbeing lifted bv Jimmy Bronson one othis seconds. The very fact that he tookthe long count {it was nine by thereferee when it should have been fourteen) showed his ability to think undeithe most hazardous and difficult conditions.

When Tunney got up the strategycalled for retreating the rest Jheround. Though Dempsey chased him,he couldn't land another blow. ThenGene came out and won the last threerounds by a wide margin and continuedas heavyweight champion.

I have always felt Uiat the man whohas boxing skill and ring generalshipis a great champion. Tunney showedthis in that memorable fight whichbrought more people out than almostany other sporting event in history. Itcertainly had the largest all-time gate:more than two and one-half milliondollars.

doors, half out with a roof of coloredsea shells. As a home it was openedon Christmas Day of 1916, and Deering lived in it for less than nine yearsbefore he died a bachelor.

There is, in fact, no end to Florida'sattractions were time and money tohold out. At Jungleland youngsters canride an elephant. At Monkeyland, 22miles south of Miami, the simians runmore or less wild but the visitors walkinside caged walkways. There is a waxmuseum north of Miami guaranteed notto melt no matter the weather. And

north of Miami, too, 65 miles on thebeautiful highway, is Palm Beach,home of high society and the Kennedy's. Worth Avenue is certainlyworth a stroll, for it is one of the world'smost elegant shopping streets.

For those who would like to get backto nature; Florida nature still exists,more or less as it was before Flaglerstretched his railroad line down theeast coast, in Everglades National Park,an easy drive south of Miami. Openedin 1947, it is perhaps the most unusualof our national parks, for unlike ourwestern preserves, the Everglades tractis a tropical enclave teeming with spectacular birds, with alligators sunningthemselves on nearby logs. Orchids andairplants grow without benefit of man,and egrets and herons flit through thesaw grass in pristine bliss, unaware,perhaps, that man's air-conditionedmonument to his own pleasure linesthe upholstered beachlands just a fewmiles north.

Sometime between July 1 and August1, the state of Virginia plans to opentheir $600,000 Civil War CentennialCenter in Richmond, once the capitalof the Confederacy. Since 60 per centof the war's action took place on Virginia soil, the state possesses what isprobably the greatest wealth of CivilWar .sites. If your vacation plans callfor being in Virginia, make sure totake in the sites and the CentennialCenter. The Center is designed to introduce the visitor to the battlefieldsand shrines that dot the Virginia land-.scape and to review the overall strategyand pattern of the Civil War in thestate. The building was designed by

a "Yankee," but that doesn't detractfrom the project's merit.

Although the ASPCA functions mainly in New York City, it is represented bya staff of special agents in various localities through New York state who investigate and act on reported cases ofcruelty. It licenses dogs in the city butdoes not in other communities of thestate. Unlicensed as well as hcenseddogs are cared for in its shelters for aminimum of 48 hours. The time formaintaining lost or strayed dogs varieswith the institutions throughout the nation: some may keep an animal for aweek or longer; others, located incrowded communities such as NewYork, mtist enforce a shorter time limit.As of May 1, 1959, to April 30, 1960-

latest figures available at this writing—ASPCA rendered shelter service to165,875 animals, of which 72,788 weredogs. It found homes for 14,016 dogsand a total of 20,016 animals of allkinds.

But rescuing lost or strayed animalsisn't all that a large and well-organizedhumane society does. Many in denselypopulated areas maintain animal hospitals and clinics with advanced eqiup-ment for treating sick or injured aiii-mals. The ASPCA rendered medical orsurgical service to more than 32,000animals last year, 40 per cent of thesebeing charity cases.

Another service is investigationwhere cruelty to animals is suspectedor reported. This includes individually-owned animals and those in slaughterhouses, stockyards, markets, labora-

tories, stables, and pet shops. In mostcases abuses are corrected following awarning. Where they are not, courtaction is instituted. An alert humanesociety keeps a sharp eye on animalsused for entertainment, too.

The ASPCA conducts obedience

classes for dogs and also advises onthe care of animals, cooperates withlocal educational officials, school teachers, etc.

Perhaps because it was the first ofits kind in this country, the ASPCA isoften believed to be a national body.The national animal welfare organization is the American Human Association, which was established at Cleveland, Ohio, in 1877. It coordinates the700 humane groups that operate at thelocal level, such as the ASPCA. Although it is a national body, it is notsubsidized by the government but depends entirely upon voluntary contributions and financial assistance similar to that given to the ASPCA. It isthe only national voice for the humanemovement in the United States. It assists established animal welfare societies, advises on the formation ofnew groups, provides counsel andguidance to municipalities, and helpsplan efficient programs to elevate thestandards of humane work.

One of its great achievements was tosponsor the movement that led to thepassage of the humane slaughter bill,H. R. 8303, signed by President Eisenhower and now assuring painless deathto the 117 million food animals used inthis country every year. Its "seal ofapproval" is given only to those packerswhose methods conform to the standards of the Association. It has vigorously and successfully opposed the stagingof bullfights in this country and foughtoflF attempts to establish so called"bloodless" exhibitions.

Twenty years ago, animals used inmotion pictures were subjected to accidents that sometimes badly injuredor killed them. The American HumaneAssociation fought against this, and in1940 a new clause was written intothe motion picture code making itmandatory to consult an AHA representative when animal action was required in a picture. This has beenbroadened to include television prtxluc-tions. Today, no matter how violent theaction may appear, animals receivegood care and humane treatment. Fora long time the AHA has opposed theuse of inhumane wild animal traps andoffers •' 10,000 to the inventor of a practical humane trap.

The AHA Emergency Animal Reliefis another of its services. This functions in times of disaster involving largescale floods, fires, or other emergenciesthat leave animals homeless, suffering,and hungry. In this it readily cooperates with Civil Defense.

Should this reach the eyes of anyoneinspired with the idea of establishing

a local humane unit, I suggest that heget in touch with the American Humane Association, 896 Pennsylvania,Denver 3, Colorado. I am sure thatthe Association's education program,which can be used by animal welfareorganizations as well as public and private schools, will prove helpful. Itscounsel is well worth seeking by anyresponsible person planning a humaneprogram for his community.

Anyone who has a sincere regard for

dogs can also play a part in helping tofurther a better understanding of themand gi'eater public appreciation by participating in the National Dog Weekprogram. This is an annual featureinitiated in 1928 by Captain Will Judy,author and former editor of Dog World.

If you have a question about dogs,drop me a line at The Elks Magazine,386 Park Avenue South, New York 16,N. Y. I'll be glad to help you—but nomedical questions, please. • •

The Jigsaw: A Basic "Power ToolANYONE who has much occasion tomake curved cuts obviously has gooduse for a jigsaw. But this power toolhas other qualities to recommend it-enough to justify its purchase, in somecases, as one's first power tool. Hereare some;

home remodehng, some other saw willbe more useful. But for dozens of homerepair jobs, for making valances, lawnfigures, decorative shelves, signs, t(^s,birdhouses, models, and many otheithings, the jigsaw is excellent. It alsodoes such unusual chores as cuttingmetal escutcheons, sawing metal angleor tubing, and roughing out carv^ings.

In effect a powered version of thefamiliar hand scroll saw, the jigsaw hasa crank mechanism that moves a veitical shaft under its table rapidly npand down. Fitted to the shaft is aclamp or chuck in which one end ot athin saw blade can be fastened.

The machine frame extends over thework table as an over-arm. On the endof this is a spring plunger with a secondchuck in whichthe top end of the bladeis clamped. The mechanism pulls theblade down; the spring plunger pulls jtup again as the crank returns on theupstroke.

On most jigsaws the work table canbe tilted to either side for angle cuts. Ablower keeps work and layout lines freeof sawdust.

• It is one of only two (the other being the portable saber saw) that canmake internal cuts wholly within apiece.• It can cut metal up to thick aswell as plastic and wood.• Its operating cost is low; new bladescost only a few cents apiece.• It is the safest of all power saws.With instruction, even children may bepermitted to use it.

What it won't do is start a cut in themiddle of stock without a hole (as asaber saw can), cut long grooves ordadoes (a circular saw will), or sawaccurate curves in thick stock (a jobfor a handsaw).

If you want to make heavy furniture,build a full-sized boat, or do major

50

A JIGSAW IS BATED by its throat depth—the distance from the blade to theinside of the over-arm support, whichlimits the size of stock that can beswung on the table. Thus an 18" jigsaw can cut to the ceriter of a 36"circle. Most jigsaws will cut longerstock lengthwise if the blade is turnedsideways.

Others bypass the throat limitationby having a removable over-arm. Therebeing no upper blade support with theai-m off, it is necessary to use a thick,stiff saber blade. This is held in thelower chuck and usually supported byan extra guide below the table.

Prices are in proportion to throatcapacity and the thickness of cut a jigsaw can handle. A small 9^2" machinewith a built-in motor, capable of cutting up to V stock, can be had forabout $15. A saw with a removable over-arm and Vk" cut capacity sellsfor about twice that—but the motor isnot included. An 18" removable-armjigsaw costs about $50, a 20" modelthat can saw 2" stock in the neighborhood of $60.

Motors are extra, but you can oftenbuy a used }4-horsepower, 1,725-rpmmotor for a few dollars. Step pulleysshould be used to give you a choice ofspeeds, the higher for cutting woodand the lower for metal.

Read the instructions carefully; itmay be necessary to fill the crankcase

A long bevel cut like this must be fedsidewatjfi to clear the jigsaw's over-arm.The blade and guide are therefore turned90 degrees. Table is aha turned so itmay be tilted to wanted bevel angle.

with oil before starting a new machine.It pays to get acquainted with the adjustments on both the hold-down andtable.

Maintenance is simple. Clean sawdust from around the lower shaft andthe table trunnions regularly, check thecrankcase oil level, and lightly oil theupper and lower shafts, the springplunger, and the blade guide and roller.Avoid excess oil that may drip onto thework; it may stain or cause wood totake finish unevenly. Be careful not toget oil on the belt or drive pulleys.

To INSTALL BLADES, tum the jigsawpulley by hand until the chuck is at itshighest position. Remove the table insert and clamp the blade, teeth pointing down, in the lower chuck. Pull theupper chuck down until the blade slipsinto it and tighten it.

Check with a small square or asquare-cut piece of wood held againstthe back of the blade to see that it isat 90 degrees to the table surface. Fig.1 shows the result of a slanting blade.

Adjust the notched blade guide toembrace the flat of the blade onlv, justbehind the teeth. Set too far forward,it will wear rapidly and destroy the setof the teeth. Adjust the thrust rollerwhich bears the pressure exertedagainst the blade by the work, to justtouch the rear edge of the blade at rest.(See Fig. 2.)

Adjust the hold-down, which usuallyhas spring fingers, so that it lightlyrides the top of the work. After all adjustments are made, turn the jigsawpulley by hand through at least onecomplete stroke to make sure all is clear.

Tips on sawing: Have ample light onthe saw table and clear guide lines onthe work. Start cutting in where the

layout is near the edge of the stock.Advance the work slowly to get the feelof it, letting the blade move in at itsown rate rather than by hand pressure.Turn the piece to guide the blade alongthe line. To change direction, slow theadvance of the work while you turn itin the required direction.

If the piece is hard to feed in, checkthe hold-down. It may be pinchingthe work. A dull blade may also be responsible, but remember that thick stockcuts more slowly and with more feedeffort than thin. Forcing any cut, however, tends to make the blade deviatefrom the line, and may break it.

Avoid backing the blade out of along cut. If you must, do it underpower and turn the work slightly sothat the teeth ride the waste side, leaving the other side of the kerf smooth.You can often avoid backing out, andmake long cuts less awkward, by firstsawing kerfs in from the waste edge tothe cutting line and by making shortend cuts before the long ones (Fig. 3).

Instead of sawing out curves of smallradius, you can form these by drillingholes of the requisite size and jigsaw-ing up to them, as in Fig. 4.

Should you get into a tight spot incutting a sharp comer, with a bladetoo wide to turn in it, nibble awayenough stock in the waste to makeroom for maneuvering (Figs. 5 and 6).

For internal cuts, drill a hole inside

This circle jig is simply « board clompedtemporarily to the table, tvith protruding nail to turn the work on.

To ripsaw you feed the work along aguide fence. Here the tongue of a pieceof paneling i.s being cut off. Clamp fenceparallel to blade's true line of cut.

the line. Loosen the upper chuck and,with the hold-down up out of the way,thread the blade through the hole. Restthe work on the table and refasten theblade in the upper chuck.

Blade teeth are set, or bent, to bothsides for free cutting. If wear or abuse(such as hitting a nail) bends the teethon one side, the blade will deviate orlead toward the other, more freely-cutting, side. You then have to compensate by slanting the work. For ripping

with a fence or cutting disks with a jig,the blade must be sharp and have perfect set.

The rip fence may be a piece ofmetal angle or a straight piece of wood.Clamp it to the table parallel to theside of the blade and the desired ripping width away from it. Feed work inwhile holding it firmly against the temporary fence.

Disks are cut with automatic easeonce a jig is properly set up. Drive allbut Js" of a headless nail into a thinboard at the desired radius from oneedge. Clamp the board with this edgejust touching one side of the blade, andwith the pivot nail on a line with theteeth at right angles to the body of theblade. Start a cut from an edge of theinuterial; then turn it imtil you canpress it onto the nail. Turning it onthe pivot will produce a perfect disk.

Use fine-toothed blades for metal.Two or more teeth should always be incontact. Thus a blade with 32 teethper inch is the coarsest you should xisefor metal 1/16" thick. Use a low machine speed and feed metal in cautiously, negotiating turns very slowly. Burring on the underside of the cut can beminimized by running the blade into apiece of wood, clamping it to the tablewith the blade in the cut, and sawingthe metal on this surface.

Jigsaw puzzles can be lasting familyfun. Glue the picture or enlargedphoto to plywood and weight ituntil the glue sets. Put a veiy fineblade in the jigsaw. Without drawingguide lines, cut the panel into stripswith interlocking joints (Fig. 7). Thencut the strips crosswise into individualpieces, again with interlocking joints.It's best to cut large pictures into foursections, as shown, for easy handlingon the jigsaw table. • •

THE MAGAZINE EDITORIALS

OUR FORTIETH YEARWITH THIS ISSUE, The Elks Magazine begins itsfortieth year of pubhcation.

The subscription price is still thesame as it was whenthe first issue was published in June, 1922—$1 perThe only other thing that we can think of tliat has thesame price today that it had 39 years ago is the 5^entStaten Island ferry ride, and that's subsidized. The ElksMagazine isn't.

On the contrary, the Magazine has returned a profit inevery one of its 39 years. In fact, from its earnings theMagazine has contributed nearly $7/2 million to theGrand Lodge.

These earnings have built an addition to the Elks National Home in Bedford, Virginia. They have paid forthe magnificent murals and other art works in theNational Memorial in Chicago and have paid the entirecost of the Memorial's operation and maintenance.

They have provided funds for our War Commissionin World War II and for the Elks National Foundation.

Expressed another way, these contributions by theMagazine to tlie expenses of the Grand Lodge havemeant considerably lower per capita taxes on every member of the Order since 1922.

Advertising revenue has provided the earnings thatmade these contributions possible. Tobe an effective advertising medium, amagazine must have high readershipand high reader confidence. To achieve this, the management of The Elks Magazinehas adhered to the strictesteditorial and advertising standards. As a result, Elks andtheir families areresponsive toadvertisements publishedin their Magazine. r .u- i

We are grateful to our readers for this loyal support.While we are gratified with the record of the i>ast 39vears we have never been complacent and have no intention of becoming so. Every department of the Magazine is under continuing study seeking ways to producea better publication. This results in the addition of features from time to time, and in better art work, fresher,more attractive layouts. Thanks to the cooperation ofour readers, who send us negatives along with photos,picture reproductions have shown vast improvement in

' TMs Cr'constant endeavor to improve the Magazineand to make it more interestmg, more mformative, andever more welcome in your homes. To this end, we mviteyour comment and criticism.

Partners with ScoutingFigures recently reported by the Na

tional Council of the Boy Scouts ofAmerica .showed that as of December31, 1960, Elks lodges were the sponsorsof 861 Boy Scout units, including CubPacks, Scout Troops, andExplorer Posts.

This represents a gain of 88 unitsover 1959, an increase of 11.34 percent, and, according to the report, itwas the largest percentage increaseachieved by any of the major organizations that cooperate with the Scoutmovement.

Furthermore, it was the largest increase in Elk sponsorship since 1948,

m yT' G^and Lodge hadoHiciaUy endorsed the Boy Scout program and urged our lodges to get behind It. This action, at the PortlandConven^on in 1947, produced a gain ofc,no Flk-sponsored Scout units from308 to 432, as Grand Exalted RulerL. A, Lewis strongly championed theElk-Scout partnership. SucceedingGrand Exalted Rxilers have done likewise. Last year William S. Hawkins putstiong emphasis on Scouting in honorof the Fiftieth Anniversary of the BoyScouts, and Grand Exalted Ruler JohnE. Fenton has carried on.

The reason for this support of theBoy Scouts is obvious. Experience ofmore than 50 years has shown that theScouting program is unrivaled as a de-

52

veloper of character in boys that willhelp them to become good citizens mlater life. By sponsoring a Scout Iroop,an Elks lodge helps to mould boys intomen who share the ideals and principlesfor which this Order stands. What hnerservice can an Elks lodge render.

In 13 years, Elks lodges have nearlytripled the number of Scout units undertheir sponsorship. In addition, of course,hundreds of other lodges support ScouNing financially and in other ways. Thisis a record of down to earth service ^hatshould make every Elk proud of hismembership. But is it all we could do.Right now, there are several millionboys who are waiting to join a ScoutTroop. There is a big job waiting, and agreat opportunity. Let's do more. Letsdo all that we can.

Patriots Strike Back

It was too early when this was written to assess the chances for success ofthe anti-communist invasion of Cuba,or to know with any certainty the objectives of the operation. There wasindication that the objectives werelimited, a preliminary to a full-scalerevolt later. Whatever the objectives,we hope that the courageous men wholaid their lives on the line to free theircountry from the yoke of communisttyranny will succeed and that the cost

in human life will not be too great.The people of this country should

know that the forces of the Revolutionary Council are fighting our batde aswell as their own. Unless the Kremlinsoutpost is driven from Cuba, the peaceand security of this hemisphere areended. We believe that most Americans understand what is at stake.Those U. S. citizens who demonstratedat the United Nations in April in support of the Castro dictatorship certainlyknow what is at stake.

The value that Premier Khrushchevplaces on Castro was made clear by hisprompt threat to send Russian armedhelp to the Cuban Reds. PresidentKennedy called this bluffs with a replythat was immediate, concise, and clear.He told Khrushchev to keep his handsoff Cuba. The President also took theoccasion to say some other things thatneeded saying:

"I believe, Mr. Chairman, that youshould recognize that free peoples inall parts of the world do not accept thedaim of historical inevitability for communist revolution. What your government believes is its own business; whatit does in the world is the world's business. The great revolution in the history of man, past, present, and futm'e,is the revolution of those determinedto be free."

Those words give free men everywhere a guidepost to the future.
