City Grocers Ask—
(Continued from Page 1)
TplSHERMEN as a class are no-
” toriously difficult to discour-
age, but there are few among
even that, avid tribe who will go
to so rr^uch trouble to creel a
trout as Singin’ Sam, above, the
radio star of “Refreshment Time,’’
radio program heard five times a
week over 263 stations.
During a recent trip to the keys
south of Miami Beach, Fla., Sam
was lucky enough to catch a beau-
tiful 250-pound marlin, but not
until he had undergone a succes-
sion of bad breaks, including a
fire that burned most of his fish-
ing equipment.
Sam, an ardent angler since his
boyhood days in the Kentucky
hills, thinks fly-fishing is the
greatest sport in the world. When
he is down south, however, the
emphasis is changed to deep-sea
fishing — at which Sam is no
slouch.
“Man,” he says in his deep,
rumbling baritone voice, “I really
thought I had a funny acting fish
on that last trip. I played it and
played it, but when I dragged it
in I found it was only an old bar-
rel.” This shows Sam as he
missed a giant tuna. (Because he
was posing instead of fishing.) A
few hours later, however, he
caught the 250-pound marlin. He
also hooked some big sailfish
while fishing off the Florida coast.
He thinks the only way to cure
his yen for fishing is to have a
home in Florida near the sea.
“This might cure me,” he says,
“but I doubt it.”

orders placed by 11 a. m. before
noon and resuming delivery at 4
of all orders placed between 11 a.
m., and 4 p. m.
Owners and managers of the four
firms met in the chamber of com-
merce office Wednesday afternoon
and worked out the three-times-a-
day delivery plan. They ask cus-
tomers not to request them to make
exceptions to the agreement as each
of them signed he would obey its
provisions.
In several nearby town, grocers
and other retailers have gone on a
one-delivery-a-day basis while in
others the service has been entirely
abandoned.
Claud Holley, chamber of com-
merce manager, asks housewives to
cooperate in the new plan, assur-
ing them Shamrock merchants are
trying to give the best service pos-
sible under the conditions brought
about by the automobile and tire
restrictions of the federal govern-
ment.
Due to defense requirements the 'amount of steel
available for making garment hangers has been
greatly reduced. However, most people have many

Red Cross personnel serving the
armed forces must be launched in

before the Japanese attacks, cases
