Soon we would be backing up to the lake’s edge and plunging the boat into the cold blue water which held Maine’s number one game fish — the landlocked salmon. Ice-out was three weeks ago and the lake’s surface temperature had risen just past 45 degrees. Conditions were still good for trolling streamers, and we hoped mightily that Sebago’s spotted silver-pink salmon would cooperate. We had chosen a shallow . .“ Rae 2 ~ bank launching site, and when the boat swung off on a taut anchor line, we parked the car and carrier in a clearing near the road and got at our tackle. We settled on: extra capacity Delta 5 reels for our No. 8 floating line and 9-foot Conolon Blue 2639 bass bug action rods. We put aboard the tackle and eas SSS Al turned over the 105 horse * > As 4 “s. AD! “7 ° Q. I was told to get a social Security card for my 1llyear-old daughter because a savings account was being opened for her and the number was needed for tax purposes, Will this number be the only social security number she will need, or will she have a to get a num ber when she goes to work? A. The number that will be issued to your daughter is a social security number and she will use it the rest of her life, She will use this number when she goes to work. Q. Even though I'll be 65 later this year, I'm not goingtoretire from my job. Isthere any reason I should contact the social security office at age 65? A. There certainly is--don't SS = = ASL power Chrysler. The Sebago stretches out over 28,000 acres and this was just the swift transportation needed to move on during the day in search of the salmon. It was early morning as the trim Mako knifed slowly up lake in the departing mist. The rays of the sun were in the tops of the surrounding fir and spruce trees, but. below on the forest floor forms were still slip-covered in blacks and grays. We had let out grey ghost to troll, and almost immediately Al’s was snatched up by an early riser. He was a real cavorter, leaping and splashing in a circle around our boat. In the quiet, the splashes as he fell back to water set up a commotion. Finally, Al had him in the boat, and he ran to four pounds. That was all the success we would have with grey ghosts, and soon we yanked them and substituted gaudier black ghosts. I began swishing my rod back and forth for more action as this second ghost vanished in rippling water. It was forget Medicare. Remember you don't have to retire to get med ical protection from your social security. Sign up for Medicare two or three months before you are 65, At the same time you can find out what your social security check will be when you do retire. Q. I lost my social security card some years ago; Can I get a new one? : ‘ A. Yes; phone or write to your nearest social security office and they will send youthe proper form to complete so that you can receive a new card with the same number you had pre viously. the right combination — the line sang as it sped from the reel and the rod’s spine clattered against the gunwale where I sat. He ran out and leaped — the sun dazzling his dripping body — as I lowered the rod tip just in time to keep him from busting too taut a line. He flopped back in the water and circled, and when he cut across his own circle I hauled back and took in line. He ran again and then he was coming out and I dipped the rod tip as before. Another spurt and leap and I had him exhausted on his side in the water lapping at the boat. ie a new place to go this year-Oroville, the historic Gold Rush town at the foot of the fabulous upper Feather River country, 70 miles north of Sacramento. The attraction is the big, new Oroville Dam and reservoir and the various boating, fishing and camping playgrounds that have sprung up around the dam and the huge reservoir behind it, reports the California State Automobile Association. Everything about this dam is monumental. It is the highest earth-filled dam in the world, the highest dam in the United States, and the keystone of history's most ambitious water development project. At 770 feet ---44 feet higher than giant Hoover Dam---it is as tall as a ' 62-story building and as imposing as any of the nearby hills, With over 167 miles of shoreline and a 15,500 acre surface, Lake Oroville is a recreational bonanza, Stretching back from the dam, the blue waters of the lake lap at wooded slopes and
