enthusiastic rod and rel artists a number took to the back woods to try their luck according to report the fish just werent hungry and they paid little attention to the tempting bait offered them to make matters worse hip streams were swelled by the heavy lain and were running too fast we under- sttml that a couple of our local riimrods didnt even venture out of their car- so severe was the storm personally i cant under stand why anyone would venture out of the house let alone drive h considerable distance just to snare a few unwary fish especially under the conditions that prevailed on friday have you ever asked a fisherman why he will walk through miles of hush just to cast a line into a trout stream some say its a form of relaxation others say its a chance to forget the worries and troubles of everyday life and still others just like to fish i believe that fishing if a type of sport that sets in your blood just like golf lawn bowling horseshoes and other forms of relaxing entertainment of course there is a certain thrill to lifting a fifteen pound fish out of the water but its certain that the average fisherman didnt have any such ideas when they left for the nearest pond or stream on friday night if they did then i fear there were many disappointments over the weekend a meeting of the stouffviue park board was held on monday afternoon all members wet e present

understand that scouts have also contacted delenceman mur ray jones were present at the meeting to discuss a possible interlocking schedule between the markham league and the ontario county group comprising pickering brougham ajax and brooklin it was felt that some arrange ment might be worked out if no more than four clubs wished to place an entry in the mark ham loop it was thought how ever that the secretary should first get in touch with union- ville and aurora before any de cision could be reached the ontario county group will hold their organization meeting next week considerable discission was given the problem of oasa games interfering with local playoff contests it was felt that oasa games were a deterrent to fan interest because they came at a time when the two lop teams were ready to meet in the group finals and thus the declaring of a champion was de layed indefinitely no definite solution to the problem was reached if and when he comes here buttonville will field
