FISHERMEN AND FISH HAPPY
SACRAMENTO, Calif. <A>) _ A
major problem of California fisher-
ment who yearn for better black
bass may have been solved by a
transcontinental air trip from Ten
nessee. The shipment brought
brood stock of adult threadfin shad,
a highly rated bass forage fish,
for stocking in the warm inland
waters. The bass gamesters had
everything there but an adequate
live food supply.
Now fishermen and fish are
happy.

ip Washington, D.C-; Bx-idgeport,
(^pnn., and Westtown, Penn.
These in addition to writing and
drawing the adventures of Pogo
Possum and his friends in the
depths of southern Georgia’s Oke-
fenokee swamp.
Yesterday Kelly was the first
comic strip artist in history to be
honored by representation in the
permanent exhibition of the Li
brary of Congress. By special re
quest of the library, he will present
to it a collection of drawings of
Pogo, showing the development of
thd character through the years.
This collection is to include art
from the first appearance of the
character in comic books to sam
ples of recent strips, Sunday pages
and original drawings for books
about Pogo and his friends.
The library decided to request
this permanent exhibit, according
to its officials, because in their es
timation Kelly’s work constitutes
gn unusual use of black and white
by an American artist and is a
modern day continuation of and ad
dition to the folk lore tradition and
folk art of the country, by virtue
of Pogo’s whimsical observation on
the events and mores of our times.
Today Kelly will be master of
ceremonies at the Barnum festival
in Bridgeport, Conn., that city’s
annual recognition of the contribu-
tipn made to its civic Ijfe by the
famous <;ircus man, P. T. Bamum.
On? of Kelly’s popular characters
in the Qkefenokee swamp is a
straw-hatted bear, a circus per
sonality who operates under the
name of “P. T. Bridgeport.”
Wednesday, Kelly will be the
commencement speaker at West-
town school, Westtown, Penn.
This talk will be the latest of
some 75 speaking engagements
filled by Kelly since last summer.
During the past nine months he
has addressed, he estimates, more
than 60,000 newspapermen, jour
nalism students, and members of
newspaper and general scholastic
societies. His usual topic is “Free
dom of the Frees in our Free So
ciety.”
