The raccoon that wouldn't come down
They said old Andrew Jackson was so fierce he could stare a raccoon out of a tree.
So (the story goes) a friend made a bet on it. And "Old Hickory," who could be as obliging as he was terrifying, set out to help his friend win.
One night he and the financially interested parties went into the moonlit woods. They spotted their game, a small round silhouette high
They said old Andrew Jackson was so fierce he could stare a raccoon out of a tree.
So (the story goes) a friend made a bet on it. And "Old Hickory," who could be as obliging as he was terrifying, set out to help his friend win.
One night he and the financially interested parties went into the moonlit woods. They spotted their game, a small round silhouette high on a limb.
Fixing his baleful eye on the target, Andrew Jackson stared. He scowled. He glared all night—but the raccoon never came down.
Even so, Andrew Jackson hadn't failed. For at sunup the men saw that what he had been staring at wasn't a raccoon after all, but a huge knot on the tree. And he had stared some of the bark off that!
A TALL STORY. But no taller than the man, born 188 years ago, about whom it was told. For tough, tough Andrew Jackson—soldier at 13, senator at 30, major general at 35, and our seventh president at the climax of his career—was one of the true giants of our nation's youth. Personally fearless, relentless toward his enemies, but self-reliant, honest and straightforward, he was the very embodiment of the early American spirit.
That spirit is as vital today as it was then. And you are an active part of it every time you invest in another United States Savings Bond.
For Bonds, which pay you good interest (3% compounded semiannually, when held to maturity) can make you personally independent in the best American tradition.
If you haven't already started on the Savings Bond road to individual security and independence, why not begin today? Sign up for Bonds through the systematic Payroll Savings Plan where you work. Or invest in them regularly where you bank.

Report Fishing Good at Isabella
Southland fishermen will find excellent angling at Isabella Lake, 50 miles northeast of Bakersfield, the Automobile Club of Southern California reported.
The lake, recently turned over to the Kern County Parks Department, rewarded 2200 anglers with 5,000 trout and 7,000 catfish last Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Trout ran between 12 to 17 inches and averaged one pound.
Isabella has sanitary accommodations, but a camping area is still under construction, the Club said.
Fees for boat-launching are 50 cents for rowboats; $1.50 for in-boards, and $3.50 for outboards; no rentals.
Anglers were also reminded of the April, 30 opening of Marino and Barrett Lakes, 40 and 60 miles east of San Diego, respectively. Both places will be open Wednesday, Saturday, Sundays and holidays.
Marino, with camping facilities, offers shore fishing only. Boats are for rent at Barrett, but a rock slide has ruined its camping site, reported th eClub's touring Bureau.
