t X p ENTERPRISE E S S COLBORNE CHRONICLE SUCCESSOR TO THE COLBORNE EXPRESS (Established 1866) THE COLBORNE ENTERPRISE (Estal Thursday, May 3rd, 1962 $3.00 Canada --$4.00 U.S.A.-- £ I REMEMBER that I could give you the lingo that he went over finally ending with "the first mud cat ever ught in Cole Creek". I caught my first decent-sized The Good Old Spring Time Last Friday I looked around at the bare trees and remarked trQut tnat day T caught it al_ "Well the leaves won t bL out by jri nt but j didn,t get it It was a the 24th of May this year." On jloyely deep nol just tne kind Saturday you could almost see L{ a place that trout love t0 lurk the buds just jumping out the branches. "Leaves out by the 24th of May". An old saying and usually true, but that was not what I started to write about. Yesterday, in telling a story to the boys and girls, the preach mentioned trout fishing. C what a host of memories awakened because ever since 1 was big enough to walk I been crazy about Irout fishing. No sitting in a boat dangling a line in the water for me. Give me the long winding stream, the trees, the rocks, yes, and even the piles of logs to clamor The music of the gurgling water and the singing birds. No, ther is nothing to compare with i day in spring on a lovely trout stream even if you do not catch a single trout. I remember very distinctly one of my first experiences trout fishing. I had been holi- l the shadows. There ice trees growing on the shore I and their branches, drooping >ver the water, were reflected s though in a mirror. With sup-J pressed eagerness, I baited my r hook and dropped it into the 1 shadows of the pool. What hap- * pened was so sudden that I * completely lost my head. At the s quick hard pull at my line, • landed a whale. Well, the trout 1 gave a yank that would have ^ came out all right but it flew ? through the air and landed in 1 the branches of the tree where • the line immediately tangled r itself in such a mess that - could not get it free. Just i 1 agine that if you can, a speckled 1 beauty, that must have weighed 1 close to a pound, dangling just out of your reach from the / branches of a tree. The branches i were too small to attempt to - climb out on them so I just had daying at my aunts just north to cut my line and leave the of Dundonald and had become lovely trout dangling. Whether acquainted with another bos > Artie McDon Spring-Time Tea and Fashion Show aid. We decided to go fishing out to Cole Creek. We started early in the morning and walked. It was quite a walk but we didn't mind that. The first fish that Artie caught was a mud cat. You should have heard him. I wish ler got it down before the day ended or not, I will never i know. That was the only trout that I caught (or didn't catch) on that trip. I learned a much needed lesson in trout fishing that day even if I didn't bring home anything but tired feet and legs and an empty stomach.

Polio Vaccinations To Be Given During May During the four days starting May 14th, all of the eighty thousand people in the United Counties' of Northumberland and( Durham will be given the op-, portunity to receive poliomyelitis vaccine by mouth. Dr. Charlotte M. Horner, Medical Officer of Health, advises that when one person receives the vaccine, all others in the' family should receive it, preferably on the same day. Similar-! ly, when some persons in a com-. munity receive it, the other living in the community should receive it at the same time. For this reason, the clinics will be held during one day only within each municipality and will be completed throughout the United Counties in four days. School boards, community groups, and hundreds of volunteer workers, almost all of them! women, are collaborating with, the Health Unit in making this; possible. The vaccine will De given on sugar cubes, but spoons and medicine droppers will also be used, particularly for infants, and young children. Dr. Horner reports that, among the millions of persons who have received the oral cine, no serious after-effects have been reported. However, it is advised that persons who are acutely ill should not receive the vaccine, nor should persons suffering from neurological ailments. Others to whom it should not be given are persons under treatment with cortisone or tileukemic drugs, nor is it vised within two weeks before or after tonsil operations or dental surgery. If there is any doubt, the family physician should be consulted. The cine is not as yet being distributed to private physicians, only to Medical Officers of Health for mass immunization programmes. Vaccination by mouth against poliomyelitis has been used various countries for the past three or more years. During the summer of 1961, three million doses of the Sabin vaccine supplied by the Connaught Labora^ tories were given in Japan with great success in controlling epidemic there. Studies have been made in Canada by the Department of National Health and Welfare. It has now been recommended for use in Canada as well as in the United States and in Great Britain. The Sabin vaccine, Dr. Horner says, protects against all three types of paralytic poliomyelitis. For various reasons, the protection may not be complete following one dose only, therefore a second dose should be given, after an interval of six weeks or more. Second dose clinics will be held in the United Counties early in the fall of 1962. Also, since some persons do not respond to the Sabin vaccine alone, use of the Salk vaccine should continue. Easter Seals The Easter Seal Campaign for funds, sponsored by the Rotary Club in this district, has met with a very heart-warming response. To date, a total of $977.90 has been received, a-gainst a target figure of $1,000. It is hoped that the target will be exceeded, when a final count is made. This compares favourably with last year's total of $993.00. All funds collected are used for the sole purpose of aiding crippled children in our own area and elsewhere. They thank you.
