FLY FISHING AND ANGLING
IT NEEDS A WELL FILLED PURSE TO ENJOY A DAY AFTER THE TROUT
By VERNON MORGAN
London.
Fly fishing in England is a pastime for the well to do. There are so few rivers and streams, especially in the south, that it needs a well filled purse to enjoy a day after the trout.
The result of it is that though there are few keener anglers than the Englishman, especially the working class man, the art of casting for trout is completely lost to him.

ARMY SPORTS
PARADE
In 1689 King William III of Orange caused a Regiment to be raised in Edinburgh who were named after their Commanding Officer as Canningham's Dragoons. Since then they have had the fortune to be in most trouble spots throughout the world and have in the process built up a reputation second to none, and changed their name to 7 (QO) Hussars in the passing years.
Being the first cavalry regiment to be stationed in the Colony they have certainly added to thin high reputa- tion and in a review of their sporting activities their successes have been so many and varied that it is difficult to know where to start..

BETTE DAVIS Says
AN ACTOR MUST GET AS MUCH EXPOSURE TO ACTING AS POSSIBLE

Bette Davis, who has won two Academy Awards, says that the usual fear of a new actor that he will be seen too often on the screen is 100 per cent nonsense.
"Too many young actors today believe that a solid career is built on one or two pictures every year," she said. "Their logic is that too many appearances will dilute the public's Interest in them. They're wrong.”
