President had to get back to the Submarine Base and we didn’t have much time.” Brau has been fishing in these waters for more than 60 years. He’s guided some of the better known fishermen of the nation. They always come back year af- ter year and_ask for Brau.

Here is her poem: “The song of a biid at twilight Is the pleasantest sound I know On lofty bough, poised for flight The song of a bird at twilight Thrills me, fills me with delight As nothing else I know The song of a bird at twilight Is the pleasantest sound IT know.” Cute, eh? * * You'd think the Japanese Na- vy was coming right up Fleming street from the Submarine Base ; to look at the Jap flag painted anese sub.
