CHALLENGING CAREERS
FOR YOUNG WOMEN
Cytotechnologists - specialists in the study of human body
cells — are in growing demand today, as more and more
doctors make the “Pap smear” a routine part of their examina-
tion of women patients. This detection aid is a major factor
in conquering uterine cancer, the second greatest cancer killer
among women.
The cytotechnologist is the good right hand of the pathologist.
To her trained eye, the microscope reveals the very secrets of
life. Her judgment and alertness can mean the difference
between life and death to women.
Security, pleasant colleagues and the satisfaction of being part
of an all-out attack on the most dreaded of diseases are somo
of the satisfactions in this rewarding new profession.
Chemistry or biology students who have completed two
years of college (or the equivalent) can qualify for this
new career field.

American Cancer Society in your state.

Water —
It will soon be awards time in 4-H, and this year should see
nearly 3,000 winners added to the steadily growing list of top-
rated agricultural club members.
Fifty of the 800,000 boys and
girls enrolled in the national
4-H Agricultural program will
win a free trip to the National
4-H Club Congress in Chicago
next November. Six will re-
ceive a $500 scholarship and the
remainder will merit county
medals.
Delegates to the Congress
will help to celebrate 10 years
of sponsorship by International
Harvester in this particular pro-
gram. However, the company
has supported 4-H in several
areas since 1919, according to
the National 4-H Service Com-
mittee.
Agricultural projects under-
taken by 4-H’ers throughout the
state help to improve the home
farm and to prepare the way
for future jobs on and off the
farm.
Local 4-H Club leaders, county
and state extension workers,
parents and residents of the
community all have a share in
helping the youngsters select
and complete one of the many
projects in the agricultural pro-
gram.
The county extension office
can supply additional informa-
tion about joining a 4-H Club
or organizing a r- ~~ one.

The flat bottom boat is nothing
new. Under the name of skiff or
pram it has been around for ages.
In Arkansas a good many years
ago someone dubbed it the john
boat and that name has stuck. No
one knows exactly where the name
originated. But it serves its pur-
pose well.

Do 'Em A Favor
Feel sorry for fish? Always
underdogs In their battles with
anglers? Think they’re getting
a raw deal generally?
If you’re inclined to hold these
opinions and want to do some-
thing about them, the fishing
department at Mercury out-
boards has Issued a set of rules
practically guaranteed to make
you the most popular guy on any
lake..,with fish, that is.
Pick up right where you left
off last fall. Don't worry about
such trivia as tackle inventory
nnd clean-up. It’s a nuisance,
and, besides, it might defeat
your basic purpose. ‘
Rusty hooks are not only diffi-
cult to set. should some dull-
witted fish make a pass at your
plug, but they may snap during
a tussle. Since they already
have a good start, they’ll oxidize
and disappear all the faster,
leaving the fish quite unharmed.
If last year’s line performed’
satisfactorily, use it again. The
"weakened, perhaps frayed, four
or five feet at the end is bound
to part, freeing another Linker
to tease the next guy along.
Pay no attention to rod fer-
rules or wrapping; if something
does give way, you’ll be home
all the sooner. Any sand that
might still be in the reel, or a
loosened screw or two, will-ac
complish the same result.
Don’t worry about the tank
of last year’s outboard fuel. Gas
is gas. So what if a slight gum
has formed? A good row back
to the dock will tune up those
flabby muscles. And the fish
won’t be tempted by your offer-
ings for a day or* so. c
There are many ways to tip
the odds further toward fish,
observes Mercury, but simple
neglect of tackle and gear is not
really necessary.
In fact, we might add, it’s
been our experience that most
fish have a fairly good handicap
to begin with.
In most of Texas about the only
flat bottom boats are homemade
affairs. Usually they are built for
river use. Generally they are con-
structed of 1x12, caulked with a
heavy application of tar on the in-
side and covered with green muck
on the outside. They are the kind
you find tied up under an over-
hanging willow on the river bank.
Now, however, the john boat,
flat-bottom or square-end, as you
might prefer to call it, is coming
into its own in Texas.
You’ll find most of them in East
Texas. They are numerous on such
lakes as Caddo, Texarkana and
Lake o’ the Pines.
The john boat is an easy boat
to handle. It can be transported
on top of the car without too much
trouble.
Today john boats are being made
in both aluminum and fiberglass.
Weights are about the same, usual-
ly slightly more than 100 pounds.
Two men can handle one on top
of a car, with relative ease. Es-
pecially the 12-foot models, which
are lighter.
Most practical and popular john
boat is the 14-footer. However, in
Arkansas they use a great many
of the 16 to 20 foot length for
float fishing.
In fact, the 16-footer is almost
a standard item on Arkansas
streams. They have plenty of beam
and ample freeboard. And they
can be powered by comparatively
light motors.
The john boat has ample space
for carrying a duffle bag, an ice
box and comfortable swivel seats
for the fishermen. Three men can
fish in comfort from one of these
longer boats. „
On East Texas lakes, however,
the 12 and 14-foot boats are the
most practical. In fact, they are
ideal for the diversified fisherman
—the man who doesn’t care too
much what kind of fish he catches.
One big advantage in these car-
toppers is that they can be hauled
right to the bank of the lake or
stream, thereby eliminating long
rides across open water. If you
know where there is a good tree-
top expanse of water you can drive
up to the shoreline, slide the boat
in the water, and with a small mo-
tor be in your fishing spot in a
matter of minutes.
After you reach your destina-
tion manipulation of the john boat
is simple, although perfection takes
considerable practice and exper-
ience.
I like to watch experts fish from
the boat along from tree to tree
with the greatest of ease.
Most of these fishermen use a
comparatively short cane pole.
Rigged up with a line slightly
shorter than the pole, they use
two hooks. One may be baited with
a minnow, another with a worm
or a cricket.
They move up to a brush pile
or a tree stump protruding from
the water, drop the hook to the
bottom and jiggle the bait a cou-
ple of times. If there is a fish
around it usually hits pretty quick.
If not, the fishermen quietly move
on to another location.
These fishermen do not bother
to string their catch. Most of them
have wire baskets hanging over
the sides of their boats. They drop
the fish into these baskets.
In the course of a day they will
get. a mixed assortment of fish.
Some will be bass, others large
bream and crappie. Occasionally
they’ll pull up a good catfish or
two.
This is an economical way to
fish. Initial price of the boat is
comparatively small. A 3-hp mo-
tor is ample and it doesn’t cost too
much. With a cartop boat, no
trailer is involved.
Not only is transportation of the
john boat simple, but so is its
storage.
It can be suspended from the
ceiling of your garage, completely
out of the way. Then when need-
ed, all you have to do is lower
it on top of your car and tie it
securely to your luggage rack.
John boats make excellent auxil-
iary boats. As such they certain-
ly have earned their place in Tex-
as.
In 1900 Fort Sam Houston in San
Antonio was the largest military
establishment in the United States.

Judge Betts denied San Antonio’s
applications for judgment after
John D. Wheeler and A. W. Worthy
argued the case for San Antonio.
Betts said he had studied the case
and did not need to hear argu-
ments from assistant Attorney
General Frank Booth and GBRA
attorney Victor Bouldin before
rending a decision. He said judg-
ment will uphold the Water Com-
mission’s actions in assigning the
water to the GBRA, on a finding
that has had substantial evidence
to support the decision. It also will
overrule the major contention by
San Antonio that it obtained a legal
priority to the water by being the
first to ask for it.
San Antonio attorneys were ask-
ing Betts to interpret a 1931 law
which has never been interpreted
by the court. This is the Wagstaff
Act which says a city may take
away any irrigation, hydro-elec-
tric, industrial or recreation water
supply held by anyone else under
a permit issued after 1931, if it
needs the water for domestic case.
This means, Worthy and Wheel-
er argued, that the State’s policy
is that when a city must have
water for people, industry and
others must do without it if the
supply is limited.
Judge Doesn’t Agree
But Judge Betts declined to
agree, so the Third Court of Civil
Appeals, and then the Texas Su-
preme Court, will have a chance
to say what they thing.
San Antonio first moved to get
a water supply from the Canyon
dam site in 1952 when it filed a
presentation with the Water Com-
mission (then the State Board of
Water Engineers).
The board refused to accept it
for filing because of a special law,
and San Antonio got that knocked
out in the Supreme Court. The
presentation was filed, and San
Antonio spent $239,000 studying the
Canyon dam site, and made appli-
cation for a permit. It was denied
in 1957 after a hearing 1956, and
the present lawsuit was filed.
Judge Betts dismissed it in 1959,
but the Supreme Court agreed
with San Antonio and sent it back
for trial, which finally came this
week.
