season which seems to fit into the editorial classification while the editor does not pretend to be a fisherman himself he can sympa thize with the thoughts expressed in the following fishing is considered one of the finest sports in the world true fishermen from isaac walton down have made their mark on the outlook and philosophy of men it is disturbing then to find sportsmen who will not abide by rules forumlated by fellow fishermen for the conservation of game fish we do not mean to criticize too severely the small boy with a bent pin or perhaps a one cent hook who in hi enthusiasm antici pates the trout season rather let us look at the expert fisherman with equipment knowledge and experience who ia not satisfied to abide by the law most of us wait until the season opens can the fellow who beats the deadline be considered a good port potpourri a new house is being constructed by howard kentner on a lot on emery street near the station extensive grading and gravelling i being

evening he phoned referee pat patterson in toronto and got no answer the next morning he cal led again and asked the lady who answered if pat was there pat was and came to the phone where were you last night says ken i was up at archie kerrs in acton was the reply what did you say in acton at archie kerrs ken say who am i talk ing to bucks butcher shop no doubt pat vance ia still wondering who

unique instrument a wash tub rig ged up with one string and played in a similar manner to a bass viol the modern aires figure on bringing him back again some evening next fall just for once the herald was right last week in the announcement of a future game and picked friday even before the hock ey executive was sure to those who were mystified about the change in headline we can explain that half the heralds are printed wednesday afternoon and the balance thursday morning so a new headline and a few lines of type were added after wednesdays victory in bracebridge now that hockey is over for another year baseball will take its place in the sports picture with lacrosse also being promoted as a new sport in town by recreational director j l self acton now has the common battery type of telephone replacing the old crank system while the difficulties ofcop- ing with the flood of calls asking for hockey scores of outoftown games can be appreciated we still think it takes less time to say six four for georgetown than sorry we are not allowed to give that information as a service to readers we print next week a list of new telephone numbers which have been added since the last telephone book was issued 9esy are arranged so that readers may clip them out and add them to their current phone book the adventures of flitt the butterfly page 8 tni huhuoani outs meats ateamef la

they had breakfast started atod the kettle singing on the stove even the ket tle was happy they were just sit ting flown when there was a timid tap tap tap at the door that must be the wind rattling the door said flitt but almost right away there was another tapping and along with it flitt could hear the sound of sobs in a flash he opened the door and there stood the most unhappy looking hummlnd bird you could ever imagine come in come in said flitt kindly have some breakfast wit us and tell us what is the trotfble bravely the tiny bird tried to dry her eyes on her little rose petal handkerchief while she explained that she and her baby brother were sipping honey from the honeysuckle flowers when a big ugly hawk swooped down from the sky and snatched her brother right out of the air he flew straight off toward the mountain with him all the green forest folk knew that the hawk had a home in the mountains and that sometimes he snatched tiny birds and animals and kept them in a hole in the rock until he was ready to eat them no won der the little humming bird was sobbing as soon as flitt got the story straightened out between the sobs of the unhappy bird he ran to tkc spider telephone in no time at all he had the woodpecker family the robin family and the bluejay fam ily on the line after explaining the trouble to them he asked them all to meet him at the edge of the green forest as quickly as they could possibly get there what a chattering and fluttering of wings there was when flitt ar- rived everyone was so sorry for i the little humming bird and an i xlous to know what flitt was going to do to help him come along and ill explain as i fly said flitt in that way we wont waste time we dont know how long that wicked hawk will keep hi prisoner before he decides to cat him of course he said these last words in a whisper so that the little humming bird wouldnt hear him as soon as the birds heard the plan they flew so fast that it wasnt lone before flitt was left far be hind quickly the little humming bird darted back to help flitt hop aboard and hold really tight she said well soon catch up to the rest of the birds in no time at all they were right back at th front of the others for hum ming birds arc the fastest flyers of all as they arrived at the top of the mountain they could see below them the wicked hawk kitting on a ledge of rock he was standing guard near a hole in the mountain with twigs fastened across the op ening they all knew what was in that hole the baby hummingbird who would be almost frightened to death every time he would come to the front of his prison the hawk would slash at him with his long claws or peck at him with his sharp beak does everyone know his part whispered flitt they had to be very quiet so that the hawk couldnt hjftir them and fly away with the little hummingbird ok now said flitt there was a swlih of wings md the blue jays flew down one after another right over the wicked hnwk s head just out of reach of his sharp beak mr hnwk was so busy watching tlum that ho didnt notice fht robins flying at him from both sideb i irst one robin would give him a sharp pltk on bin head and when ht turned to see that one another robin would swoop from the other side and give him another sharp peck the blucjays kept dart ing at him from above in a few minutes mr hawks hoad was get ting very sore and he was in such a mad rage he didnt even think of flying away and what do ydu think the wood peckers were doing while the other birds were annoying the hawk they were working feverishly at the twigs that were holding the baby humming bird a prisoner chop chop chop weht their little chisel beaks first one bar then another was cut away just as they were working on the last one th hawk noticed what they were do- lng he made a mad dash at tbe woodpeckers with his funt claws ready to attack them bul they jus 1 managed to fly a way out of his rthch now it was mj sunbeams turfs t help flc felt a little frightened but ho danced down right jri front of mr hawk he gtood right still mid shone his shiniest right into tin bad hawks tyes this dauded mv hawk so much that he just couldnt sec u tiling your know how it is when you look right up into the sun night away the other birds swoop ed down again each pecking mr huwk as ahey flew t by 1hii kept him so busy that it gave the woodpeckers a chance to finish their work in a few second the frightened little prisoner was free and he dar ted straight up to join his sister by this time the wicked hawks head was terribly sore he backed up on the ledge and screamed for mercy not until he promised never to come near the green forest again did they leave him alone flitt and the birds flew swiftly back to the green forest and were greeted with cheers from the other little folk who had heard of the rescue you can just imagine how happy the humming bird family was to have their baby safely home mother humming bird was just too overjoyed to talk she bus ied herself serving honeysuckle tea i in her tiny little acorn cups to all who had helped in the rescue fath er humming bird cleared his throat and made a grateful little speech to thank them once again flitt and mr sunbeam had come to the aid of someone in distress and made the green forest a happier place to ike frosh were you ever bothered by athletes foot soph just once when a full back
