center of attraction was the throne which had been made for the queen to reign. The background was a red heart covered with lace net and velvet roses. A white wrought iron chair with a red velvet cushion formed the throne seat for the queen. Miss Janet Autrey, senior of Calvert High School was selected as queen. Each girl's name was placed in a box, and the name drawn determined the queen.

The Rev. W. B. ThornlbuTg crowned the queen and presented her with a crown and -a box of candy from the Youth Department. The toastmaster for the event was tihe Rev.

Mr. Thornburg. The invocation was given by Jimmy Stout, and the welcome by Miss Debbie Stout. Special music was a recording by Jim Nabors, "The Lord's Prayer." The guest speaker for the evening was Randy Cooper, senior fullback for the Baylor Bears, Waco. His subject was "Love Conquers 'All." He brought some very humorous thoughts as well as inspiring ones.

Washington CONGRESSMAN BOM POAGE Mr. and Mrs. James M. Shepp visited in Marlin Sunday with Robert Sproles, who is a patient in the Veterans Hospital and with his wife and children, Ronny and Janice of Fort Worth who were also visiting with him. Before returning to Hearne, the Shepps also enjoyed a visit with Miss Hester Fore at her Marlin home.

This is written on Wednesday as Congress is adjourning for the combined Lincoln and Washington birthdays, and Mrs. Poage and I are leaving for home February 10. Several members of our families are sick -and we are taking this opportunity to visit them. Our Agriculture Committee was one of the first to organize at a meeting last Friday. On February 9 we started hearings on sugar legislation.

Today, we considered the Rural Telephone Bank Bill, and favorably reported H. R. 7, which is the same as the bill of that number which we reported last year. It is surprising, but committees of the Congress never seem to reduce the number of bills awaiting their consideration. Just as fast as we dispose of one measure, something new develops.

I suppose that this situation will become not acute in the future. The business of government seems to constantly enlarge at all levels in all countries. Somewhere this process must be reversed or else we will ourselves a completely socialistic state in which the government does everything for everybody. I was invited to the White House for breakfast this morning. The President and his advisors gave us a briefing on his proposed revenue sharing and departmental reorganization.

I am afraid that Mr. Nixon is leading us down the same path of bigger government that we have been traveling for so long. He proposes even greater deficit spending and envisions the government assuming still further obligations for the performance of responsibilities which we have long looked upon as belonging to the individual. There was also a report on the progress of the Vietnam war. I find myself in full accord with the attack on the communist supply lines.

I think they should have been cut years ago, but I cannot believe we will ever be able to walk away from Vietnam without we are willing to sacrifice the South Vietnamese people who trusted in us. The President has recommended as a part of his environmental protection program a much stricter control ever the use of pesticides and economic poisons. I believe we all realize that this is necessary. Our committee announced last year that we would go into this whole matter this sp'idng. We realize that there must be a proper balance between the use of poisons and the protection of our ecology.

Therefore, I joined with Mr. Belcher, the ranking republican on our committee in introducing the President's bill "By that we do not necessarily endorse its provisions but for the purpose of getting it before us for study. This bill should be referred to our committee and will be one of the vital measures for consideration this session. Is our future in the bag? Some scientists give our planet thirty more years. Then population zero.

No mushroom cloud to ring down the curtain. Just pollution. Silent and simple-minded. Like people scattering trash. Paper.

Government and industry are spending millions to do away with pollution. But there's one source of pollution they can't control. People. We have to do that job ourselves. Your automobile is a good place to start.

Most experienced fishermen learned early in the game that no two bodies of water are alike. In fact, that goes for areas too. Even the Texas coast, with all its water, has many personalities.

A good fisherman can catch fish in most any water. This is mainly because he takes a good look around before he ever casts a lure. Texas is blessed with many fine lakes, all stocked with game fish. Basically they are the same species- bass, crappie, catfish and bream. There are several species of bass.

In most Texas lakes and ponds, it is possible to take the largemouth black bass, sometimes up to seven or eight pounds. But, the abundance usually goes to the white or sandy. The Kentucky spotted bass is in the minority in most lakes of Texas. In fact, there are many fishermen who apparently don't recognize a Kentucky. There are also several species of catfish, usually all found in the same waters.

But catching these fish is another thing. What works fine in some impoundments, or even streams, doesn't work in others. Naturally, there is a difference in the fishing of East Texas and West Texas. In the East Texas pine timber area even the water is different. Al though fairly clear, it still has a dark color, caused by the tanic foliage.

In that area the takes are generally devoid of rocks, but many of them are loaded with dead timber. Because there is so much timber in these lakes there are many floating logs, Usually they, hang up in some of the brush. Naturally, the brush, trees and logs make an ideal habitat for fish of all species. Needless to say, such water must fished differently. Underwater lures are difficult to use because of the multiplicity of brush on the bottom of the lake.

On the other hand, many fishermen are finding that plastic worms work wonders in this water, when fished in the approved manner with a slip sinker and weedless rigging of the worm. But when you get out of this black land country, through the cross timbers and into central and west Texas, fishing is entirely different. It too is difficult to fish. There are many rocks, ideal cover for fish. There are deep canyons leading into the main body of the lake and water backs up into these canyons.

Such tributaries are the spawning area for white baas. Blacks like this water, too. These lily pads of the East Texas waters are absent, but much of the water is covered with algae. This is hard on the fisherman, but the covering of the green stuff does provide some protection from the hot sun for the fish. So, fish hide there.

Naturally, the best bet for fishing is to know the water. But if you don't know it, then take time to study the impoundment. Try to learn something of its personality. Most of the hikes have maps, some of which show the various depth of the water. Get one of these maps, then try to stay on the curves.

Better yourself an electronic device called the fish finder. Remember, however, that this equipment does not suffice unto itself. You must pay attention to the things around you. This is what makes fishing worthwhile. Furthermore, it adds not only to your enjoyment but to the number of fish on your stringer..
