18 tvin 9 September, 1945 Guaymas waters grow 'em big. The natives and seasoned fishermen there are hard to impress. Luis CanaHzo, cordial, Latin'correct host at Miramar Beach Hotel, curls his lip at anything under five pounds even if it's caught by a paying guest fish' ing off'shore with light bait'casting equipment. If you're fishing from a launch, using regular deep-sea equipment, anything you can carry yourself won't elicit too much .comment. During the winter season (October to May) you can tie into Totoaba (white sea bass), rock bass and spotted rock bass, silver sea trout, jewfish, Spanish mackerel, and yellow tail. The summer season (May to September) offers you your pick of tuna, sailfish, rooster fish, shark, giant ray and, of course, the king of game fish, marlin. July and August are the hot months. Hotels include the Southern Pacific's luxurious La Playa de Cortes and the popular Miramar Beach, both on Bacochibampa Bay, near Guaymas. Tariffs at the Miramar start at $3.00 for a single room. Attractive, comfortable three and four room cottages, just a good cast from a sandy beach, are also available. Dinner at the same spot starting with all the famous Guaymas shrimp you can eat and offering a selection of steak, lobster, wild duck, fish, or venison brings a check for $1.00, American money. If the resort employed a publicity agent he could shoot "cheese-cake" on the beach 365 days a year and not worry about goose bumps spoiling the pictures. The air — sinus suf L STINE is a tanned blond jumping bean. Officially, his beet is Atchison, Topeka, and all points mid-west where the Associated Press might conceivably reach. And where Stine reaches, there the PA fakes root. He's a Field Representative. Before joining forces with the PA, Al served a year in the Army Air Reserve Corps, and before that, was probably the wackiest member of WHB's soles force. Before that he had been born (some thirtyodd years ago); kicked out of high school for a whole month, because he wrote an all-too-clever parody on the school song; and had gone into his father's undertaking business for a spell. He's probably the only onetime gag writer in the world who holds a funeral director's license. At promotion they don't come much better. Al is married to Carol, a red-headed gal with a sparkling good nature and freckles. Recently they visited Guaymas during Al's recuperation from an operation. And that's how come SWING got this story. ferers take note — is warm and dry, even on the shores of the Gulf. No measurable rain falls during the winter season. Abelardo I. Rodriguez, Sonora's present governor and one of Mexico's most able and progressive leaders, is driving hard to pull his state and Guaymas to the front. The parade has started. Give him time and he'll have Hollywood's stars shining in Sonora's sun! The other day an old man who had lived all his life in one house puzzled his friends by moving next door. They asked him why he'd bothered. "Eh," he told them, "I reckon it's the gypsy in mc." — from Old American J^ews
