Ross Barnett Reservoir / First frame showing houseboats on reservoir, water and coastline in background / Houseboats appear almost overnight on reservoir / An estimated 25 houseboats now anchored in partly filled reservoir cove. / Subject climbing into boat. Man wearing a uniform and pistol. He will also appear on second roll in two shots, on one the boat is whizzing past and he is waving. This is Larry Watters, one of nine security guards employed by the reservoir commission. / Shot of houseboats in row / Kids playing in water in front of Jubilee II / Reservoir kids learn to swim early / For romp on "front lawn" children don swimsuits, life preservers. / Shot of three kids fishing from houseboat / Modern "Huck Finns" on Mississippi reservoir / Fishing off one's front porch is easy reality. / Shot of dam and spillway... from lake / Eleven more feet of water before dam filled / From core pit to top, reservoir 305 feet high / Like Ross, reservoir many things to many people / Recreation reservoir disappointment to some. / Shot of the boy water skiing. / Water skiers must stay in river channel / Flooded reservoir only inches deep in many places. / Shot of two subjects in broad, flat bottom boat. One man is leaning over side dipping water into a small vial. Both subjects with U.S. Public Health Service. / Public Health Service runs daily analysis / Hugh Vick, biologist, takes water sample. / There is a second shot showing Vick leaning on canopy of boat.

"creel census" includes weighing and counting of fisherman catches. / Shot of Gunter casting toward camera / "Lake Ross" fishing said tops / Bob Gunter almost "catches" cameraman. / Shot of houseboat passing up-channel, fisherman crowded on its bow. / Heading up channel for some fishing / Bow of houseboat dips under "load." / Shot of patrol boat... two frames - in one the boat is leaving, in the second, it's whizzing past. Subject mentioned earlier. Name Larry Watters. / Reservoir has own lake patrol staff, boats / Larry Watters one of nine "security guards" employed by commission. / Last shot of spillway... taken from down spillway. / Unlike any other spillway in southeast / Unique reservoir spillway "only one of its kind." / [Notes included] |
