We use a stake so we can pull it up when the bonefish strikes,” Cobb was ha-ha-ing when he got a strike. His reel line had run out, and Parker pulled up the stake. For 27 minutes Cobb, ating and fuming and joking, fought the bonefish. -When it was boated, Cobb pulled out a handkerchief and ““cmofiped his forehead and face. “Phew!” Cobb looked at Davis. “Bob, I’ve caught many thousands of fish in my time, but I had never known tiH “now what fishing really was.” A seasoned bonefisherman gets little kick out of | -Wester who sold his acreage on Sugar Loaf to a million- Cire. because good bonefishing grounds were across the | ~~womtdiannel from the acreage. rere’ 'Parket'é phrasé is apt about bonefish—"‘fishiig “for S——Hettning.” mf eee = MORE DEADLY THAN WARS Bes ae =~ to See which may be the first to kill one million Americans. | War and highway traffic are running & frightful Since 1900, fatal traffic accidents have become com- | mangle. At the present rate, the millionth American will die on our highways sometime in September or October of this year, Meanwhile, statisticians report that American war dead, including those of the Revolutionary War, have reached the total of about 996,500. Consequently, if the present rate of Korean fatalities continues, the millionth American soldier to be killed in war will fall about August. Modern motor traffic, however, is a far greater cause | of death to Americans than war, despite the fact that we have fought two of our greatest wars since the turn of the century. So far, in the Twentieth Century, two world wars and the Korean fighting have produced less than one half the deaths that have Seow en on our highw ays nine mioniths of war in Korea compare with 28,400 paxapns killed by automobiles during the same period. for every Ajmerican soldier wounded, it is estimatec that twenty-five civilians at home have been injured. #4 = Most of the people that we run across are baffled by “<their own ignorance.

Planes could not be FLOWN across the border between the U. S. and Canada, But that didn’t stop 'em. Fighters and bombers were flown to points just across the border and then HAULED across by _ tractors horse teams or even manpower. Once across the legal line, the planes were picked up by the Maple Leaf Lads and then sped across the Atlantic to Great Bri tain.
