Art is an ardent fisherman and knows about the fishing in Florida. It was too cool and unpleasant in Sullivan County for Art to sit on a bank here swinging his bamboo pole — so he started off for Florida where the warm weather makes this type of fishing more pleasant. He wrote his family during th e past week that he had caught a shark nine foot long. He didn’t say he got it with his bamboo pole. We assume that he didn’t. Some other fisherman must have talked him into trying for shark. Luck has al ways ‘ been with Art, particularly when he goes fishing, ahd he very likely got this one one his first try. His wife, who stayed behind on the Swiss Hill farm, has decided, sud denly, that she is going down to Florida, too. Possible she’s going to have a look at her husband’s big fish — that 9 foot shark. A r t w i l l s u r e l y h a v e s o m e t h i n g t o t e l l t h e b o y s a r o u n d t o w n n e x t spring when he returns, about catching big ones — not about the big ones that got away. f Jeff Debate Teams Score In Newburgh Tourney The Interscholastic Debating League of Eastern New York held its annual tournament Dec. 13 at Newburgh Free Academy.
