There's a difference between big and little fish other than size. Big fish don't get that way by accident; usually they're smarter than their brethren and as a result they're more difficult to catch. There's a difference in fisher­ men, too. Every angler who keeps his lure wet most of the time is ?;oing to luck into an occasional big ish. But only a few fishermen will land that lunker. The remainder settle for a tale about the "big one" that got away. During a recent meeting of the Braniff Outdoor Council, these fishing experts discussed the matter of landing big fish and came up with some thoughts that will be helpful in your efforts to catch a trophy fish. Their recommendations were to have a new line, a strong knot; proper drag on the reel, and a rod with enough backbone to do the job. Hy between you and the fish, it makes sense to have the best available. Monofilament line weakens with stress and time, so wise anglers break off several feet of the forward section every hour or so of fishing. Line size is even more important. With luck you can land a 100-pound sailfish in the ocean on six-pound test line, but you don't have a chance of handling a lunker bass in the weeds with such a line. When fishing where underwater debris is likely to be found, load your reel with 16- or 20-pound test line. It gives you power to turn the fish and eventually land it. Don't go after big gamefish with tackle that won't do the job. Save the light-duty gear for bluegill and panfish. For big fish use a stiff-ac- tion rod. one that'll sink home the hooks. This is especially important with tough-mouthed fish such as tarpon, muskie. dorado and pike, but it also holds true for big bass. team to tie knots that don't weaken your line Several knots have been developed especially for monofilament line. With patience, care and a little practice, you can learn to duplicate them. Check the drag on your reel fre­ quently. One that is set too loose will allow a big fish to run for cover. If it is set too tight, the line is likely ' to break. Perhaps the best advice the Bran­ iff experts can give is to be patient when you do have a big fish hooked. Play the fish, work it slow­ ly and carefully to the boat. Even if you do everything right, landing a trophy fish is an accomplishment. No greatness exists unless it is based upon principle and not upon profits.

Fascinating Facts A b o u t P l a t i n u m Piatinum, one of the world's most prized sub­ stances is a wholly precious metal. (Eighteen karat gold, by comparison, is 25% base metal.) In the early 19th cen­ tury, platinum was so highly regarded--and so rare--that it was actually smuggled into Europe from South America. Still just as rare, prized and precious, platinum is easier to find today --in beautiful pieces of jewelry at fine stores everywhere. You can't beat platinum! As a matter of fact, it is ex­ tremely tough and resists scratches and nicks. It never tarnishes. (Which means you seldom have to polish it!) Even acid will not corrode it. This incredible durability and gleaming, eternal beauty make platinum the knowl­ edgeable choice for wedding bands, engagement rings--any piece of jewelry that you want to last a lifetime. * * » More and more Americans are choosing platinum rings, not just for diamonds, but also for semi-precious stones of all colors, shapes and sizes, because not only does it make the strongest setting, but it enhances the brilliance and beauty of a stone like no other metal. Last year sales of platinum for jewelry jumped an astounding 48% as shoppers chose this shimmer­ ing metal to project their personal style and protect their valued jewels. • • • * It takes a good busi­ ness man, these days, to be able to pay all his taxes. h ALL ABOARD! .FOR McHENRY SAVINGS & LOAN 5th ANNUAL MODEL RAILROAD SHOW Dad & Mom bring the kids!

OF THE PAST...The 28-room Chateau de Mores, built in 1883, stands as a memorial to the dreams and ambitions of Marquis de Mores near the town of Medora, North Dakota, named for his beautiful wife. The Chateau, a state historical site, contains original furnishings. HEALTH HINTS B E A T I N G T H E B A C T E R I A It may surprise a lot of people, but you can make your homemade salads safer if you add mayonnaise or salad dressing. Bocause of their high acid content, quality dressings retard the growth of spoil­ age organisms and food poisoning bacteria. According to food scien­ tist and microbiologist Cynthia Keller of Monsanto Company, one of the main causes of food poisoning is foods that are held for hours at warm temperature before they're eaten. The salad can be con­ taminated by bacteria in the ingredients, utensils, con­ tainers or on the people who touch it A low acid content in salad supports the growth of food poison­ ing bacteria, as does high temperature Fortunately, there are a number of pre­ cautions that can be taken to prevent bacteria growth • Use clean utensils, con­ tainers and food preparation areas • Make sure you use good -quality ingredients r • Don't leave the food above refrigeration tempera ture for hours at a time KEEP FOOD SAFE with chemicals and cleanliness. Most commercially pre pared salads are protected by chemical additives that inhibit the growth of micro­ organisms So are com­ mercial mayonnaise and salad dressings It 's these consumer protectors that allow you to keep dressings so long in the refrigerator. With the care taken in making the commercial pro­ ducts, and with your taking proper care of foods you make at home, it should be safe to say you can help prevent food poisoning from finding^your family 01 LETIZIA FINANCIAL CORP.
