THURSDAY, AUGUST 5, 1948 THE. DAILY TI MES-GAZETTE PAGE FIFTEEN - Squid Jiggin' Some Fun If You Keep Out Of Way By DAVE MCcINTOSH Canadian Press Staff Writer St. John's, Nfld., Aug. 5 -- (CP) --When you go squid-jiggin' don't look 'over' the gunwales.

There are several barbs on the jigger but the squid as a rule isn't skewered or caught like a fish with its mouth open. It is attracted by the color of the prong and wraps its tentacles around it. The suc- tion holds it until it's in the boat. A veteran fisherman can handle three lines at a time. A flick of the wrist detaches the squid from the jigger and it ex- pires with a sound like air going y PRESCRIPTIONS Quickly and Accurately Filled --- at ----- MITCHELL'S DRUG STORE 9 Simcoe N.

Then the rest of the boats cluster around for the catch. Before the war quantities of squid were dried and shipped to China where it is regarded as a delicacy.
