the tribune stouffville ont thursday september 8 1949 vacuum packed always fiksh lievk it ott xot by lewis milligan aving resolved to quit fishing ive away my rod and tackle i to be a stillfisher but had srly taken to casting and what 1 backlashes snags the loss ilugs and spinners and the con- ious exertion with little result mnd it a strain on the nerves a weariness of the flesh i id of course go back to still ing but no i was through nc e fishing i argued that it was illy pastime anyway in my fishing days i used to contend it was a good excuse for do nothing especially when i ild fish all day without getting ibble but when i became tired asting i began to feel sorry for poor fish including myself i oned that it was a form of sm to impale worms and frogs a hook to say nothing of stling with a bass fighting for life and afterwards removing hook from its gills 3 with this humanitarian live i went on my holidays to lakes minus all piscatorial ipment and with a fixed deter- ation to sit around and relax i ild read a book play bridge if duld find any victims or just the world go by in quiet medi an on the beauties of nature from the maddening crowd for long days i kept strictly to my lution for i was deadlazy and content to watch the foolish ermen sally forth laden with tin boxes of elaborate tackle cans of livebait 1 smiled piti- y upon them as they launched r boats and disappeared into distance and laughed when f returned at sunset with few no fish and stories of the big 3 that got away n the morning of the third day ose feeling refreshed and i ntered clown to the beach for a i after which i sat on the anda and tried to renew my xation the fishermen were lg out again and one of them ted me to come along no 1 ive given up fishing then i moment of weakness i added ve nothing to fish with that was a fatal admission and when i was offered the use of a rod and line i had a brief struggle with my resolve and yielded to the tempta tion 1 would go for the sail perhaps drop a worm to the fish just to be sociable next morning 1 found myself on the beach with a borrowed rod and a few worms and hiring a boat just for one day only i would show those fellows how to catch bass not the little bits of things they were bringing in but big ones hut i wasnt going to over exert myself would row leisurely around the shore from long exper ience i knew that the bass were where you caught them but that they had favorite haunts i was informed that the best of these were around some submerged rocks off shore some distance up the lake i didnt feel like rowing that far and i doubted the informa tion anyway they had not pro duced the evidence i was after big game there must be grandparents and greatgrandparents of the fish they had brought in and i decided to explore fresh rocks and waters new sighting a little rocky cove i told myself that it looked like a good place for bass it is true that i was rather tired of rowing but i attribute my decision to a shrewd fishermans instinct so i pulled in dropped anchor and line and waited nor did i wait long for it seemed that a fish had also been waiting there for me a strike and a run i let him run on a slackened line until i felt him strike again then jabbed in the hook then came the tugofwar a leap in the air a dive for deep water and the battle was on between man and fish the rod bent double as i tried to land him gradually he grew tired and so did i for when i had with difficulty swung him into the boat i relaxed and renewed my resolve to quit fishing having proved my prowess as an expert fisherman with ample evidence displayed on the lawn before the unbeliving eyes of those wellequipped spratcatchers i was satisfied but such is the weak ness of human nature the native hue of resolution was sick- b mx fn 60 smms mm m flflf pb ll5 cmemix ip ip hi mix and rift into bowl 2 c omoxiftod pastry flour or 1 ji c oncenifted bardwheat flour 4 tp moric dnkink iwdcr h tp kilt cut in

is on the pro perty belonging to amsey is at the rear of a cottage owned by william knoppeser kitchener it was intended to supply the cottage which adjoins the conestogo river seeing the bodies in the well 21 feet clown the hired girl summon- edamsey who descended and found his brothers dead life had been lied oer with the pale cast of thought on the following morn ing i thought of how another and an even bigger bass might be wait ing out there to challenge me to piscatorial combat and i felt that it would be craven cowardice on my part to disappoint him so i went and dropped him a line and believe it or not he struck viciously ran off and struck again i nicked him and a tremendous battle ensued he fought like a tiger broke water twice plunged and went round in circles under the boat at last i brought him to the surface on a dangerously bent rod but just as i was about to swing him into the boat he looked at me with a gleam in his eye shook his head in a defiant no and dis appeared beneath the wave all right i said youve won al though i challenged him for ten days afterwards he never appeared again but he provided me with a good fish story to which those jealous spratcatchers listened in awed silence extinct about five hours fumes which killed the two men were the result of a dynamite blast set off in the well early tuesday morning provincial police said after the blast the brothers post poned further work to allow the fumes to escape umbrella circulates air shortly before dinner amsey descended into the well an open umbrella was worked up and down to circulate the air amsey said it was felt the excavation was safe and his two brothers resumed work after dinner dr wagner said amsey was not in the hole long enough to feel effect of the flumes the brothers working on their first well did not realize the danger of carbon mon oxide he said the public should be warned he commented that the gas is odor less tasteless and invisible when the two brothers returned to work in the afternoon israel apparently descended while enos remained at the windlass above it was being used to haul buckets of loose earth to the surface and the workers also ascended and des cended by it believe rescue attempted police said when israel entered the excavation he apparently be came stricken they surmise the older brother enos above the slipped a 14foot ladder into the hole and attempted to go to his brothers aid apparently he too became stricken police said a small cut over enos lip was either inflicted as he fell from the ladder on being affected by the fumes in descend ing or in falling after attempting to rescue his brother israel was found lying on the umbrella used in ventilating the well enos was found at the foot of the ladder the bucket which had apparently worked free from the hook was also found in the hole w c mcdonald ro optometrist commencing saturday august 13 at stouffville every saturday 2 pm to 9 pm eyes examined lenses prescribed prescriptions
