Another little trick in Bass fishing, and Bass feeds very much as Speckled Trout do on the 'surface and on live aquatic life, you will find on a windy day to fish on the lee- ward shore of the lake for the wind will blow food from the trees and from the rock' across into the deep rocky shoals near the shore. We have found that fishing upwind on a time like this we get considerably more fish than we would under normal cir- cumstances. We had a very interesting ex- perience last Sunday--we hooked into a Bass with a live frog and lost the Bass but retrieved the frog, minus one leg. A few min- utes later we lost the frog to/an- other Bass. About five hours later we caught &'Bass and cleaned him and found our three-legged frog inside him. I think this is sort of carrying coals to New- castle when the fish brings you the frog back. Having just got back yester- day there is not much more I can gay but I understand that the Club at Oakville is well under way and 1 think it is ome of the greatest ideas. One thing we should remember about all these fishing clubs, their prime object is conservation not social activ- ity. There are too many fishing clubs in Canada that «all them- selves conservation clubs, and the only conservation they prac- tise is by keeping the good fish- ing spots to themselves. We al- ways want to bear in mind that any fish that the Government al- lows any club to place in open waters are the fish that belong to the public and should not be used for private enterprises. Too many clubs nowadays will get specifled trout, etd, from the Government, plant them in some little secret lake and consequent- ly in about five years have excel lent private fishing. 1 think this is just a method of cheap chisel ling and is getting your fun at the other fellows expense. I think that all fish should be placed in the most accessible places because after all Govern- ment hatchery fish are property of the tax payers of the province. and as tax payers they should be entitled to have as much fun out of them as the fishing club who helps to plant them. 4 vince you.

That has been said many times and it is no doubt a splendid idea. Many people have hobbies and we have been very surprised to note the type of hobby they have. 1 won't go into the many different hobbies people have, but suffice it is to say that many of these hobbies evolved into a prof- itable business. I had an occasion a short time ago fo visit a man in Tonawanda, N.Y., who, 1 had heard had a hob- by of working on reed organs, Te- building them and even rebuild- ing some small pipe organs. This man is a bridge-keeper over the canal in his city, and in his spare time he works at these organs. He works on shifts at the bridge, and his name is Finch. "1 have not yet met Mr. Finch, but I did meet his wife, and she seems to know as much about the organ business as does her hus: band. On being shown into the Iiv- "WILF ov ago t 8.8 Fon 08 BACK ROAD FOLKS = RED, THE FAMILY PET, VISITED THAT BUTTERNUT RIDGE -AGAIN = SCOUT CAMP ON MARTHA WAS RIGHT: - By STANLEY. ing room, carpeted with broad- loom to the walls, I was amazed to find a small pipe organ in the process of rebuilding. Tools and organ pieces were strewn around and Mrs. Finch could see my sur- prised for she said, "Don't you think I am a very patient woman to put up with this kind of thing in my living room?' TI agreed with her for I know what would happen if I tried it in my home. When I do work like that I am gently ushered out to the back shed. In the room also was a two- manual Hammond Electric or- gan, and about this time the 19-year-old son came in and com- menced to play a short recital for us. It was explained that the fam- ily rents rehearsing time to stu- dents of the organ and there is an earphone afitachment which the student puts on his head, and by turning a switch he can hear what he is playing, but it can't be heard by anyone else in the room. The son took me down- stairs into the cellar to show me what he called his dad's real workshop. There was a little reed organ, the kind one can buy occasionally for. $10.00 or $15.00, and it was in the process of being electrified, if you please. Mr. Finch had plans which he figured out him- self on how to so construct the organ that a switch turns on: the motor in the back of the organ, and it is almost soundless. He had put pedals on it and had tak- en off the old pull-out type of stops and replaced them with the modern tab stops. It is apparently done by plac- ing a fan on the small motor and placing it in a sound proof box at thie back of the organ. Mrs. Finch explained that her husband had made over 20 fans before he was satisfied that he had the best for the particular job. I was quite surprised and in- MANY OF OUR SHAREHOLDERS ARE MEN BUT. . . women outnumber men among regis- : tered individual shareholders of Dominion Textile's common stock.

He now sells his plans all over the United States and has customers in almost every. State in the Union. The pipe organ he was working on Mrs. Finch explained, was one he had picked up in a small church in Buffalo for a few dol- lars. "He has an order for it when it is rebuilt and he will be well paid for his spare time working," she said. It impressed me as a very in- eresting and unusual hobby, one which Mr. Finch enjoys working at, one which sets other people working and one which gives pleasure to those who like organ music and on top of that, his spare time is not wasted for he makes some money at it. I once electrified a reed organ myself, but it was a cumbersome affair and did not stand up very long. Never know, I may try this new idea. Winner of the Week If MRS. R.
