Good fishing tackle, a reliable boat and motor suited to the type of water being fished, a nourishing picnic lunch or snacks all these are important. But, as is often the case when traveling, getting there can be at least half the fun. Teaching your child how to fish can be one of the most rewarding experiences of all. "Although skill is important, says Bill Cullerton, member of the Fishing Hall of Fame and the Johnson Sports Advisory Board, "it should play a secondary role when teaching a boy or girl how to fish. Fun, First "Too many adults, he added, "overlook the fun of fishing when taking a youngster out for the first time. We lose too many of them because the lessons become boring and dull. One of the easiest ways to start a fledgling Izaac Walton off on the right foot is to show him, how to rig a fishing rod, put the line on a reel, how to set the reel properly on the rod handle, how to attach the swivel and hook or lure to the line, and how to tie the simple knots most commonly used in fishing. "About 30 minutes of instruction should lay the groundwork for a sound, basic casting technique, Cullerton noted. Just as important as being able to cast a lure 100 or 150 feet, is the ability to be accurate with each cast. It wouldnt do a beginner any good to be able to cast a country mile, if he cant lay his lure up against a log, or next to some lily pads, where the really big lunkers often hide out. To help the student angler learn how to cast accurately, place a waste basket about 20 feet away, then have him try to cast a practice casting plug into it. His efforts wont be too successful at first, but being will soon lead to Eersistent mark with frequency. As his skill increases, keep moving the basket farther from the student, until it is 50 to 60 feet away.

A Fathers Responsibility EDITOR'S NOTE: These Honorable James Farmer, For- are the remarks of the mer Assistant Secretary, HEW, when he accepted the Fathers Day Committee's Humanitarian Father of the Year Award, May 19, 1969. "We, ail fathers, have a responsibility not only for our own children, though that is our primary our first We have another responsibility for all of the chil- dren of the land: what ever their color, whatever theh language or their na tional origin. What we need, it seems to me, is a sense of an extended family. All of the kids those who are poor and black and who are Puerto Rican and who are white, who are poor and middle class and upper class are all our children and to some extent they share the common alienation. We must respond to it. We must respond by improving the quality of their lives. We must develop a passionate concern for the education which all of our children especially in the cities, but all over the country receive. And that, after all, is a prime responsibility. For without education it is impossible for the child to pull off the shade and the shield of ignorance, of alienation and of unawareness. If he is to enter into the nations mainstream, then we must provide him with an education which equips him, which gives him the basic . . . the fundamental tools. I then urge all fathers whatever their color to see every child in the country as his child. The child might hate him and might reject him, but what father has not known occasional hate and sometimes rejection from his own child.
