narty and shower in honour of mr and mrs walter hopes recent marriage thev were the recepients of many ishermex ix a boat by lewis milligan fishing is perhaps the only form of private enterprise which lias so far not been threatened by sociall ization i refer of course to fishing with a rod and line plus the bait it is an enterprise into which the profit motive does not enter for if one were to strike a balance of costs and production which one never does the whole business would be found to be an utter failure in deed it might be said that fishing is the only enterprise in which a man can actually boast of his losses i do not profess to be an expert fisherman for i have been content to potter around the shores and the dams at a village on the kawartha lakes dropping a line to the bass and inviting him home to dinner many an hour have 1 spent dangl ing a juicy worm in the mystic depths only to bring up a naked hook or at most a pestiferous sun- fish many a time have 1 cast a tempting lure into turbulent waters never to see it again job is by no means the only paragon of patience he was a peevish fellow compared with a fisherman that is not to say that fishermen even the most patient do not occasionally give subdued utterance to a sense of frustration there are more ab stract than concrete dams associat ed with fishing usually 1 like to fish alone but this year i accepted an invitation to go exploring in a boat witli an eld erly major he had all kinds of tackle and live and dead bail and i presumed that he was an expert fisherman and a good oarsman but he proved to be neither first of all in passing tlu the lockgates he zigzagged from one side to the other and finally his oar hit the con crete wall at right angles and broke the oarsocket this should have been a warning to me but i stayed with the ship and we finally reach ed our destination dropped anchor and proceeded to explore the depths within a few minutes 1 had a strike and brought up a goodsized picker el to the delight of the major who removed it from the hook and pro ceeded to fasten it to the end of a chain of safetypins having done this lie dropped the fish overboard and was about to secure the other end of the chain to the other side of the boat but the fish finding it self once more in its native element dived to the bottom chain and all as the major was behind me 1 was unaware of what had happenedbut the two or three words that escap ed his lips convinced me that it was something tragic i turned and there he was gazing into the water as though he were contemplating diving in after the escaped prisoner that was another bad beginning but there was worse to follow after he had exhausted his stock of choice language on that fish and having no success in still fishing he decid ed to stand up in the iwat and cast towards the weeds i was fearful at the outset over this proceeding and was about to suggest that he might cast more comfortably sitting down when his plug caught in the weeds and he sat down on the side of the boat for an eternity of se conds he was balancing on the edge of the boat with his exterior under water which was flowing freely into the vessel with a tremendous effort he recovered himself and tumbled into the bottom of the boat soaking up a considerable quantity of the moisture during those split- seconds of imminent peril the major uttered never a word as he sat there he seemed subdued and grate ful in spirit until he looked around for his rod and discovered that it had gone overboard after he had bailed out i decided to go ashore on leave where i wrung out my socks and put them lovely gifts the chivarie gang to dry on the hot rocks while ire- oreted them with a pressure sumed my favorite pursuit of feed- cooker i ing the sunfisn worms
