Eight-Year Career
True Fisherman Uses Willow Pole Amateur Polgar Makes
by WILLIE JACOBS
SPRING IS here and it is time to go
fishing.
Fishing is a sport which, although
it owns hut one name, can mean a hun-
dred types of sports.
There is deep-sea fishing and there
is trot-line fishing, but neither of
these really brings out the true spirit
of spring.
THE REAL ART of fishing comes
when willow jjole and twine string are
used on the bank of a small stream in
the shade of a towering eottonwood
tree.
Even the smallest youngster can use
a hook, line, and pole and can yet as
much fun out of fishing as any exper-
ienced angler.
Before one fishes, however, he must
find bait. Along with the pole and line
comes the best bait for a fisherman—
worms.
Worms, n .1 earthworms, can be
The best container for worms is an
old tin can, which can be easily found
and carried.
After the bait has been secured, a
string, a cork, and a hook with a bit
of lead fastened just above it are
needed before one can start for the
creek.
THE FIRST THICKET of willows
along the bank of the creek is a good
producer of poles. Any limb of con-
siderable length can easily be cut off
and stripped and made ready for a
day's duties with the fish.
Then comes the process of baiting
the hook. The wiggling worm is hard
to fasten on the hook, but there is but
one sure way to get the job done.
Some people just hang the worm on
any way it will stick, but the sure \vay
to catch a fish is to string the worm
on the hook and then spit on it for
good luck.

with extra care to make sure that the
hook is not too deep or too shallow. If
the cork lies on its side, the hook is

About one out of every ten Ameri-
cans—some sixteen million people in
all—today has some type of emotional
disturbance which handicaps him and
prevents him from enjoying life to the
utmost. Frowns, clenched jaws, and
forced smiles on the faces of these
disturbed people are indications of the
inner turmoil they feel.
People from all walks of life suffer
from emotional tensions. Tension is not
exclusively a product of big business
or Wall street. The strain of modern
living in the Jet Age has developed
new personal problems and magnified
some of the older ones.
What is commonly known as the
With the Alumni
Grad Teaches
In Tyler High
"nervous breakdown" develops from
the small tensions we all are prone to
feel at times. For psychiatrists say
that all men have a breaking point.
Numerous people go through life mak-
ing small compromises with them-
selves and thus remove the imminence
of a "crack-up." However, from no
apparent cause, these same people may
suffer from insomnia, depression, un-
happiness, and loss of ability to con-
centrate. Eventually, the inevitable
breakdown occurs.
According to Dr. William G. Men-
ninger, a psychiatrist, everyone has
his share of neuroses, which are re-
treats fom responsibility. These neu-
roses may cause excessive shyness,
chronic fatigue, inability to get along
with people, and a necessity to prove
oneself. Psychosomatic illnesses—those
physical ilnesses which have their basis
in emotional disturbances—may result
from neuroses or tensions. Common ill-
nesses are stomach ulcers, migraine,
arthritis, arid high blood pressure.

"A Polgar in the making" might be the
title given to llewsie Dunaway, senior from
Columbia, Mix*., who makes hypnotism his
hobby.
Dunaway estimates (hat Mtltce his career
began eight years ago, he has hypnotized
over two hundred subjects and has hud them
doing everything from getting drunk on water
to regressing to their kindergarten school days.

Party Preference
I >i<l you know that t 0 per cent of the people
in Denton favor a two-party system in the
South ?
This fact was discovered in a poll con-
ducted recently by one of the two political
organizations on the campus, the Young
I lemocrats
The Young Republicans, the other po-
litical organization, is striving to make the
proposed tw . party system a reality. The
group has a long way to go, according to
the poll, because only 111 per cent of the
people interviewed listed themselves as Re-
publicans.
Itoth organizations have been invited to
send delegates to the student political con-
vention at Linden college in St. Louis April
10-21.
Key speakers at. the meeting will be Dan
Thornton, ex-governor of Colorado, Republi-
can, and Thomas defining, United States
senator from Missouri, Democrat.
Delegates of the two parties, after hear-
ing llenning and Thornton, will split into
separate units and nominate their choices
for president. At the last convention, Steven-
son and lOisenhower were the choices of the
two factions.
The mental suggestion expert first became
interested in hypnotism at Pearl River junior
college of I'oplarville, Miss. A student at the
college had a book on hypnotic suggestion
which Dunaway began reading. Since that
time, he has read numerous articles on hyp-
not ism and many publications on mental telep-
athy and clairvoyance.
Dunaway, an ex jet pilot in the United
States Air Force, compared the thrill he got
the first time he hypnotized a person with
that of flying a jet aircraft.
The Southerner .■> first hypnotic conquest
came at I'earl River. Several students were
it ting in the college store where Dunaway
was working. Mental suggestion came into
the conversation, and Dunaway bragged that
lie thought lie could hypnotize a person. He
did. "It scared me, but all the same it was
quite a thrill," he declares.
Quizzed about the hypnotic feat that made
the deepest impression on him, Dunaway re-
called an instance last semester when he put
a North Texas student in a trance ami then
asked him to name the children who sat at
his table in kindergarten.
1 lie student named six children and also
bis teacher. When awakened, he could not re-
member them, but he recalled them later when
their names were told to him.
Commenting on the future of hypnotism,
Dunaway said, "There is great promise in the
fields of medicine and dentistry for hypnotism,
for it can be used as an anesthetic without
thi' aftereffects that drugs have."
To be successful in hypnotism, Dunaway
said that a person must be able to paint a
mental picture in the mind of the subject. He
disclosed that he once- hypnotized a person in
.'10 seconds and that he has kept subjects under
the power of his suggestion for as long as a
week II" has also broken habits such as smok-
ing and biting fingernails by hypnotic instruc-
tion.

However, there are ways in which ten-
ions can be reduced by the person who
suffers from them. Psychiatrists say
that "crying it out," "laughing it off,"
or "sleeping it off" may relieve ordi-
nary daily tensions.
World and national leaders have
found various means of releasing ten-
sions resulting from a hard day's work.
Sir Winston Curchill, British states-
man, paints to escape tension. Presi-
Ford dent Eisenhower plays golf. Fred Allen,
comedian, was a bird watcher. Conrad
Hilton, hotel magnate, goes dancing
nir'.tly.
Many methods of relaxation are
available to Americans and it seems to
matter very little what method is cho-
sen, as long as the tense person is re-
laxing and forgetting his troubles.

Went shopping last week end in "Big D."
Anil I've got the scars to prove it-—sore
feet and flat pocketbook.
Shopping in Dallas, or for that matter in
any large city, is a ball. Never a dull moment.
Of course you take your life in your hands
to walk down the street. It's a fight from
the word go.
Anybody's a sucker to go downtown on
Saturday. But we went. If we'd had a bull-
dozer to clear our path down the sidewalk,
things would have moved a lot faster. As it
was, we (two other coeds and I) got way-
laid several times during the day.
Sidewalk photogaphers kept taking our
pictures and stopping us to try to sell us
their bill of goods. The first guy was a
smoothie. "Hold it, girls. Now smile," he ex-
claimed with an automatic smile.
Then came the sales talk.
After handing one of my friends an en-
velope, he asked her to supply her name and
address so that he could mail her the picture
of the three of us.
She complied. Then as we turned to walk
on, he slyly said, "Of course if you want the
pictures, I can make each of you one for four
dollars."
"But we don't know that the picture will

Another man. Same pitch. Well, not exactly
the same. This one wanted "the privilege of

studio window."
Talk about flattery! This guy had his line
down pat. "It's my job to survey young ladies
who pass by. I can give nine such offers, it's
seldom that three such attractive young ladies
pass at one time. I could stand here all day
and not find three young ladies with such
perfect features, excellent profiles, etc."
We got an II by 14 portrait for $1 in this
deal. But we'd learned our lesson this time.
No soap. We got away from him in a record
five minutes. And walked right down the
street and got stopped again.

is that the average man "is suffering
from a fear of losing his male superior-

world of the magazine's pages, he pulls
the floor shut against female intru-

According to Newsweek, however,
there is a flaw in that theory. News-

Our reaction to this latter statement
is. "So what?"
Just pick any three current men's
magazines—say Esquire, Argosy, and
Bluebook. Each one is designed pri-
marily for men; yet each one aims at
a slightly different audience.
Esquire, generally considered to be
the magazine for affluent business and
professional men past 40, contains
articles on |*>rsonalities in the news,
travel articles, fashion articles, good
fiction and cartoons, and some editor-
ial comment.
Argosy, aimed at the younger and
more active group of men, features
articles on hunting and fishing, tin-
usual crimes of history, biographies
of sports personalities, its famous
Court of Last Resort, and fiction and
cartoons.
Bluebook, while admittedly a pulp.
so-called is possibly a shade above the general
pulp level in quality. It is for the work-
ing man. It has features on science,
sports, cars, do-it-yourself articles,
and fiction and cartoons.

read these magazines—at least in part.

The professor, starting to grade the set

key and made another.

Russia, the United States, and Can-

action from American negotiators in
London appeared generally favorable.
The plan was submitted Monday at

Disarmament . 'ib'.ommittee. It. was re-
ferred immediately to Washington. De-
tails of the proposals remained secret.
The American delegation, led by
Harold Stassen, President Eisen-

ters, seemed friendly to the plan, but
it withheld full approval, suggesting
that some points needed clarification.

What is Texas' second-ranking crop,
led only by cotton?
It's the tourist, according to latest
releases by the State Highway de-
partment. Based on spot checks, fig-
ures show that 3,700,000 out-of-state
vehicles entered Texas in 11)55, carry-
ing an average of 2.7 persons who
spend $7.6!$ each day and stayed 5.5
days.
That pushes the value of tourist
trade to $412 million. The cotton crop
was worth $700 million.
The number of tourists increased by
1,000,000 and spent $136 million more
dollars.
The highway department estimates
that information given tourists at
seven state-line information bureaus
causes guests to stay longer to see
scenic attractions, and if so, makes the
bureaus more than worth whatever
expense they incur.
No figures were given as to how
many Texan# leave the Lone Star state
to visit other states, but the size of
Texas would tend to hinder such
travel.
It has been said that when a Texan
has a two-week vacation, he starts
driving. At the end of a week or bo
he finds he is just reaching the state
line. By then there's nothing to do but
turn around and go back home.
Going somewhere, anyone?
