CAMP-FIRE MUSINGS By Jack H r • Shows Them How He Does It TONY ACCETTA (left), U. S. professional all-around bait- and fly-casting champion, discusses the fine points of the art with Kenneth A. Reid (center), general manager of the Izaak Walton League of America, and William S. McLean, director of advertising for the Fisher Body division of General Motors, following a preview of "Let's Go Fishing", new 2-reel sound motion picture produced by the automobile body-building organization and starring the champion. The film, which presents a comprehensive lesson in fishing and bait casting with emphasis upon sportsmanship, will be made available without charge to groups expressing a desire to exhibit it. Deer Are Where You Find 'Em! * "Pink" Gorman and "Toddy" Engeln were over to the writer's house a couple of days before the deer season opened. They were all het up about a trip to Wisconsin and wanted us !o go along, but five hundred and twenty miles is ia long ways to drive jast to get a little roast venison and we saic^ "No!" Pink and Toddy left McHenry the next morning and we moped around the house all day thinking that the trip would have been fun at that. About ten o'clock the next morning we were out in the yard when we heard a "Whoop!" and there was Cash McDonald sitting in a-^ear about a mile long. You all know Cash! He's the fellow that writer spoke of when he wrote "You Cassius has ere a lean and hungry looks. He thinks too much.' Such men are dangerous.!" Cash thinks too much all right, he's one of those fellows that"thinks about thousands, when us ordinary mortals are thinking about quarters. Hence that big car and all the other trimmings. "Well!" yelled Cash, "What are you standing there for? Grab a gun and we'll get started." Ten minutes later we were in the car and, when those sixteen cylinders started working, that car went places fast. It kicked the road behind it at better than a mile a minute- and we pulled up to the cabin at Moose lake about nine p. m. There was a light in the cabin and we kicked the door open and asRed "What does this mean? This is a private cabin, etc!", and then we stopped. There was Pink and Toddy, and Charlie Hubbard, and three guys we did not know, all parked in front of the Are, burning up our wood that we had worked so hard to chop earlier in the summer. Charlie is supposed [to keep an eye on the place, so wo never let on that we knew Pink and Toddy and, turning to Charlie, we asked, "What are these men doing in my Cabin?" and we made it sound as gruff as we could. "Why," said Charlie, "that red-headed fellow and his pal said they were friends of yours!" "Well, they aren't!" we replied, "the whole bunch look like Chicago gangsters to me. Get 'em out of here!" The fellows we did not know started to gather up their things and Toddy looked a little queer, but Pink just stretched out his legs and said, "Oh, |pu go Jump in the lake!" only lie wasn't as polite as that. Then we laughed, and Pink took the teakettle, off the crane and filled us a glass of something that was hot and tasted good, and "the whole eight of us bunked in that three room cabin that night. The next morning the season opened and the gang split up and -ifrere posted on runjvays where the deer were supposed to pass. The woods seemed full of hunters and we could spot Pink's red topknot over behind a stump. He looked just like a red-headed woodpecker. You could hear the other hunters crashing through the woods and soon .the bullets were whining through the trees. Things seemed to be getting a little thick around there and Charlie and the writer started back to camp. We have made friends with so npany deer that we're kinda got over the thrill pf shooting 'em and we Just hung around camp the rest of the day. We asked Charlie if he'd seen anything of the buck we'd partially tamed during the summer and he replied "Whitey's around somewhere, I hope he misses the bombardment." The day passed and vone by one the gang came back to the cabin.,. Pink and Cash had a buck but how we kidded the rest of 'em. "What hunters you Chicago gangsters proved to be< Come on with me and I'll show you where they are!", and I'll be blamed if they did not take me up. Well! It was up to me, and I determined to lead 'em a chase down through the swamp and back up the ridge. We took the trail back of Charlie's pigpen and, as we rounded the corner, there was "Whitey" eating hay and he had another buck and a doe with him. Don't tell me deer haven't brains! "There's your deer, boys!" we remarked, and there was not a gun in the party. There was a gasp, and the next, instant we were alone. The gang disappeared in a mad scramble for the cabin and their artillery. We went along to' protect "Whitey," but it was not necessary. That wise old buck just stayed right there and munched hay and the gang were too good sports to shoot him. «• As we said before, "Deer are where you find 'em."

This group reported evidence of an infiltration of Communistic ideas into the Federal Government.. In a report signed by five Democrats and two Republicans, the committee reported it was "convinced" by evidence before it that David J. Saposs, chief economist for the National Labor Relations Board, "is either a Communist or is sympathetic with Communist teachings." "From his own expressions and activities," it 4s impossible to reach any I other conclusion," the committee went" on. "When it is considered that Mr.' David J. Saposs occupies one of the key positions in the National Labor . Relations Board, and that he was j publicly defended by Mr. Warren Madden, chairman of the National Labor Relations Board, a most astonishing situation is presented. "In defending Mr. Saposs, Mr. Madden places a stamp of approval upon Mr. Saposs' expressions of Communist views and his activities along this line which creates a grave doubt with regard to the National Labor Relations Board in view of these facts." Saposs Is Like Amlie Mr. Saposs is still the chi^f economist for the Labor Relations Board. Of course he denies he is a Communist, just as Mr. Amlie does--and takes re- \ fuge in the same explanation, namely,1 that such expressions of his .as "capitalism cannot be stabilized" and "bourgeois democracy is a sham" constitute descriptive writing and not hi® own opinion. • - . | Well, if Messrs. Saposs and Amlie are not Communists, they certainly are not Democrats in any sense of the word. If they do not preach a totalitarian doctrine, they certainly are not preaching Amerincanism. In this age of pinning a label on everyone--such as liberal, Tory, reactionary and leftwineer-- a word descriptive of the Amlies and Saposses should be coined. We think we have the precise word which fits them. They are COMMUNOCRATS, which means persons who talk the revolutionary jargon of the Communists but pose as lovers of democracy. Communocrats are what the Communists call "fellow travelers," that is, sympathizers outside of the party membership. Those who are catspaws for Communism might also be included within the meaning of „ . ,. . „ , Communocrats along with the parlor . re ^ .S^°V, called the "American potato. •: DR. C.
