There seem to be two kinds of roads

dull, ordinary everyday roads. Then,
there are the same roads when you
take them in Chevrolet—fun roads!
Stepping along nimbly, surely—

come just a little more naturally to
Chevrolet. Few cars at any price are
so beautifully balanced. None in

Sho’ Nuff
Learning that he was given only 8
months to live, a patient told his doc-
tor he would join the communist par-

quite shocked and asked why he
made such a decision.
The patient replied, “It’s better that
one of them die than one on our side!”

New Rod Material
Strange and wonderful things turn
up as the scientists of this day and
age pursue knowledge. A good ex-
ample is the new fishing rod mate-
rial developed by the genius-type
workers on guided missiles.
The stuff is called Missillite, which
Conolon now is using to make rods
that are reputed to be stronger than
glass. The new material is a com-
bination of fiberglass and resin.

It’s the Comprehensive Dwelling Policy—a new and
different kind of insurance policy—and it unlocks the
door to broader, better protection at lower cost.
This remarkable new policy combines 5 kinds of insur-
ance: (1) Fire, windstorm and allied perils, (2) Theft,
(3) Personal Liability, (4) Extra Away-from-Home Cov-
erage, (5) Special Glass Insurance.
It makes possible money-saving, “package” premium

It’s Possible
In the deep South earlier this year,
they say a certain waiter was to serve
breakfast to President Eisenhower.
His greeting was something like,
“Good mornin’, Suh; how you-all.”
Someone remonstrated, “Man, you
know who you talkin’ to? The Pres-
ident of the U. S., no less.”
“Sho nuff?” the waiter replied,

Note for Politicians
The farmer had gone and got him-
self elected to the legislature. After
he’d served in the law-making body
for 30 days, he came home for a
weekend,
“Martha,” he said to his wife, “I’ve-
discovered one thing—it’s the first
insane asylum I ever saw that was
run by the inmates.”

It’s About Time, Too
A young high school teacher had
to leave her class of pupils for a few
minutes, so she asked the biggest,
toughest, most troublesome boy in
class to keep order.
“I’m depending upon you person-
ally,” she told him. “I’ll hold you
responsible for anything that hap-
pens.”
When the teacher returned, she
found every teenager quiet; even the
unruly ones had their noses in their
books. Then the teacher took a sec-
ond look at her monitor; he stood
triumphantly before the pupils; he’d
removed a heavy leather belt from j right—whether she is or not.

CUTTER
In our part of the country we favor
the casting outfit because the heavier
lines help us get our bass out of the
lily pads and brush.
Aristocrats of the casting school
would never use anything but a top-
water lure. Down the scale you find
those degraded people who use deep
runners, spinners and spoons. Then,
there’s the fellow who will bait his
hook with minnows, worms, craw-
fish, shrimp, or anything else the fish
will bite.
There are several categories of spin
fishermen.
At the bottom of the heap are the
cane pole and trotline fishermen.
They catch the most fish. I am not
going to talk about the bait they use.
Least of all am I going to talk about
catfish bait.
Who’s kidding whom? If some-
body tells me I can catch a 15-pound
blue cat by using a dog’s tail for bait,
Poopsie had better get under the
house.

“Slpat” Fishing
One of the outdoors magazines re-
cently published a yarn about “splat”
dishing which is much the same thing
we know as skitter fishing. East
Texans in particular have been fa-
miliar with it for years.
Anyway, these “splat” fishermen
used a stout cane pole and a shortish,
heavy line. Fishing from a boat at
night, in very shallow water right
along the bank, they used a long-
shank hook baited with pork rind.
One of their tricks was to run a rub-
ber band from the eye of the hook to
the barb, making it practically weed-
less.
They dropped the bait out on shore,
then pulled it in so that it plopped
into the inches-deep water. When
the bass took it they horsed him right
in, taking no chances on losing him in
the brush.
The system, with many variations,
works—as many old-timers in Texas
and elsewhere know very well. It is
a form of what you call “meat” fish-
ing, as opposed to “sport” fishing.
Sometimes sport fishing pays off,
.sometimes it doesn’t. 1
n man will be tempted to go after
dish by whatever means.
The other afternoon, I wished for
one of those skitiering rigs. The
weather was warm, so I figured the
bass might be congregated where a
spring-fed stream empties cool water
into the river.
No fish responded, but I saw big
bass splash twice by an old stump,
not 20 feet from where I was fishing
drom the bank. I dropped a topwater
lure on the spot, and the bass took it
immediately — took it under the
stump where my four-pound spinning
line wasn’t anything like enough to
pull him out.
If I’d been skittering, of course, it
would have been a different story. Or
■maybe if I had been in a boat, casting
into the bank with a bait-casting out-
dit, it would have been all right.
Tackle Argument
Talk about debates, you can get in-
to one plenty fast when you bring up
dishing tackle.
There’s the purist who wouldn’t
look at anything but a fly rod, and
who wouldn’t think of using anything
but a dry fly. He fishes for trout and
nothing else.
Then, there’s the fly rod man who
will not only use his rig to cast wet as
well as dry flies, but will go so far as
to fish for types other than trout and
who, upon occasion, might slip a
worm on his hook if nobody is look-
ing.
The Final Test
The boss called the new stenog-
rapher into his office. “Miss Green,”
he said, “You’re the best-looking girl
we ever had working in this office.”
A pleased look came into the girl’s
eyes—but wait, there was to be
more.
“You dress well. You have a nice
voice. You make a good impression
on the public. And your deportment
is of the highest.” ’
“Oh, thank you,” the girl said.
“Your compliments are very pleas-
ing.”
“Enjoy them to the fullest,” re-
turned the boss, “because we are now
going to discuss your spelling, punc-
tuation, and typing.

a screw driver out of his kit, and

the mechanic said, “Fifty dollars.”
“That’s robbery and I won’t pay
it,” the owner cried, but in the end
he did, insisting on an itemized
statement.
“I’ll be glad to itemize it,” the me-
