Show WORLD OUTDOORS IN THIS commercial-minded world of ours, wt observe (at least, some folks do) everything from felt hat day to National Ragweed Rag-weed Control Month. Most of these observances go unnoticed except for the few people who are concerned, con-cerned, says, with felt hats and ragweeds. Although we have a "Let's Go Fishing" week observance, ( this column proposes we shorten short-en It down to a "Let's Go Fishing" Fish-ing" Day and use some sort of unforceful but effective method to make everybody participate.
