"TOMMY" THOMAS Dear Mr. Wilson: My best wishes to you and | the staff of The Times in your new location. : The modern facilities in the new building will certainly be i of great assistance in helping to satisfy the increasing circu- lation of The Times. With the tremendous growth in popula- tion in our city, it is only to be expected that sales of The Times would increase, demand- ing much larger accommoda- tion and facilities. It. is a pleasure for me to wish you and your staff suc- -| cess in this venture, and also | to take this opportunity to thank you for allowing me to be a contributor to The Times | from time to time.

As a citizen born and raised in the City of Oshawa, | would like to take this opportunity to express my own personal congratulations to the Oshawa Times its staff, and to the present publisher, Thomas L. Wilson. My recollection goes back many years, to the time of Mr. Edward Mundy, the publisher of the paper, then known as "The Oshawa Reformer". It was early in the 'Twenties that Mr. Edward Mundy passed on and the Oshawa Reformer passed into the hands of his son, Mr. Charles Mundy, who became the publisher. It was dur- ing this era that Mr. Chas. Mundy was stricken with a crippling disease and thus Mr. Arthur Alloway, who at that time became a partner in the business, assumed the publisher's chair. | might say, at this time, that it was 'my good fortune to know all these gentlemen per- sonally. "0K. so give me some words. What d'you want 1'say?" "Congratulations, I guess." "Pretty . hackneyed word." "0K. so you think of a better one." Smelt Fishing Brings Results SAINT JOHN, N.B. (CP)--It's been a good winter for the men who fish for the succulent smelt through the ice of the St. John and Kennebecasis rivers The season began last Dec. 23 for Frank Flewelling and Charlie "You're supposed to be the writer." "I can out-write and oui-fight any illiterate artist in this office. "Well, fight your way into your mouldering thesaurus and dig up another word for congratulations." "Keen lad. Now you're coniributing. Here we are . . . say, listen to these: At the start of 1927, the name Oshawa Reformer" 4 was dropped and "The Oshawa Daily Times' substituted. It was during these later years that | became ac- quainted with Mr. T. L. Wilson, who was then advertis- ing manager of the Oshawa Daily Times, and who later was appointed as publisher in May of 1951 when the Oshawa Times came under the ownership of Roy Thom- sori, of Thomson Newspapers, Toronto. place the hut and chop into the ice? Charlie Williams says the best place is where there's a deep- water channel, preferably leading to a fresh-water brook, about 100 paces from shore Williams, two retired gentlemen who have fished smelt since they were youngsters and now make it something of a business. The ice was four inches thick when they began. They got 21 pounds the first day and catches continued good as the ice built up to a thickness of 18 inches. Their fishing ground is a cove just Ketepec, a spot that Charlie thought was pretty good until ¢ yone else started com- I Last year the cove had this year there were ff off 30. SNUG HUT Mr. Fl easily co hut is snug, psible, complete with a stove, shelves, two boxes and three fishing holes in the floor-- the third for any friend who may happen along. They had a con- tract for 10,000 pounds of smelt and as the season approached its end they were. sure they would fulfil it How do they know where to plling's The best bait? Smelt prefer sea- worms but they're hard to get at this time of the year, so gaspe- reaux, also known as alewives, preferably fresh, are used. Mr. Flewelling had wonderful luck with a wisp of hair from a deer's tail last season but '"'the smelt wouldn't touch it this year." He keeps it handy, just in case they change their tastes DEER'S TALE This year's smelt ran from two ounces up. Charlie's biggest was just short of half a pound and was 15 inches long. The biggest he ever caught was 18 inches, right at the end of the season in late March Smelt brought fishermen 25 cents a pound and they retailed from 40 to 45 cents As a result of the lively trade, ice villages have sprung up on both sides of the two rivers. There are big communities at Renfo-th, Rothesay, Drury Cove land Millidgeville. | personally have the highest regard for the Oshawa Times and the present publisher, Mr. T. L. Wilson, and during my long association with this organization have found that The Oshawa Times has always dealt fairly and accurately with all municipal, provincial, federal or political issues. In closing may | again extend my best wishes to Mr. T. L. Wilson and the Oshawa Times on the Official Grand Opening of their new newspaper plant and may the future bring even greater success to Oshawa's Own Daily Newspaper. Lyman A.
