THE NEWSPAPER SERVICE | OF THE DRYDEN DISTRICT #8 COVERING THE TERRITORY : BETWEEN FORT WILLIAM © AND KENORA., VOL. XI DRYDEN, ONTARIO, JUNE 2nd, 1933. No. 22. ® ue coLuMNIsT It happened exactly as I said it would, when I told you a couple of weeks ago, that I was going fishing on the 24th of May. Neither the prophet Ezekiel with his visions, nor Jeremiah with his lamentations, could have done any better in the an- ticipations. I knew the ending of the day, before I started out at dawn. I could have painted the panorama before I saw it. Everyone, caught fish but me. I caught @ for being away at all, and cold because of my well known abstemiousness. But it was never- theless, a glorious day. And if I write of fishing to the point of tiresomeness, it is not, heaven knows because of my personal prowess, but because I cannot refrain from telling of the glories of this beauteous country, and only in fishing or hunting does one discover the magnitude of it all, and enjoy the lure of new adventures. I could, of course, sum it up in the one sentence: "'It is a magnificent country," so could for that matter, say 'She is a lovely woman,'"' leaving to imag- ination, the rosy cheeks, the car- mine lips, the shell shaped ears, the alabaster brow, ete., ete. But no writer worth his salt leaves so much to fancy. The details are required. And so with nature. Although fifty-five miles from home, we were fishing by about nine o'clock. The clearness of the water was so exceptional that I simply must tell of it. We traversed a creek between the large navigable lake, and the smaller lake in which we were to fish. The creek might have been a mile long. I cannot tell; it wound and wound until IT was dizzy. Like my little dog, I was undecided because of rotation, which was head and which was tail. The boat drew over two feet, the water looked six inches deep, and yet we went on and on, without a serape to bottom; limpid and so pure, I could have quaffed it forever. At the land- ing was a waterfall, infinitely more beautiful than the mythical Ladore. We portaged beside the stream, running from the upper lake; canoe, skiff, paddles, oars. tackle boxes and grub, and at the end of this toil, we came upon a vision that was Paradise. Tall pine trees, finding root in steep cliffs, nature alone knows how, extended in irregular para- llel, to close the horizon, at fully - two miles distance. This closure we found upon investigation, a trick of vision, because through a lovely narrow aperture, we paddled into a larger lake, stretching for leagues into seem- ing infinitude. You remember the poet saying. "That only God could make a tree." I am sure he was right, just as sure as I am right, when I say that two gods must have made this lake. One alone could not have done it. And impious men like floated upon its bosom. This may be the explanation, why I never catch fish. My com- panions are' generally rude busi- ness fellows. Nature means noth- ing to them, and so, while T am gazing at glacial rocks, they are busy with line and troll. I believe the party caught a geore of trout while I was mus- ing. I am not much concerned. us, Announcements Ln EY Announcements in this column are charged at the rate of 50¢ per inch, per week, with a minimum charge cf 25c¢.

I like fish when someone cleans and cooks them. But I prefer to watch the eagle scream down from the ethereal cloud flecked blue, or to see the fish hawk float with apparent lassitude, keeping a wary eye on flopping fin, then drop with keen speed, somewhere, to think it over. I like to analyse the difference between the stinging mosquito and the biting fly. pleasure is to dam the croaking frog, and shiver at the loon's lone cry. 1 love the coming warmth of sunrise, and paradoxi- cally yearn for the mizzle of a drizzilng rain. I claim with sniffing nostrils the smell of skunk. Pine, spruce, birch, tamarac, and poplar, each have an interest for me. And when a moose heaves me out of his way, I make no complaint; it is his domain. In short, I love Audubon more than Walton, and in the language of the Vagabond, to h---11 with fish. | GOLF pode alo £5) GEES () SER () GED () GE () GHD () EE ) GDER () SEE () SEED () S¥ED- () SHED () -GNED- () SIR APPS SAPP L POS PS PPPS PLS SPP PPPS PPPS I Now Carry a Supply of : GOLF BALLS BASEBALLS & BATS TENNIS BALLS PLAY BALLS THE REXALL STORE Harris Drug Store hi Phone 69 PRESCRIPTIONS FILMS DEVELOPING CIGARETTES TOILET GOODS TEES Reg.

Wabigoon lost ome of its old- est and most respected residents on Friday last (May 26th), when Mps. Christina Bjorklund passed away peacefully at the home of her youngest daughter, Mrs. Bert Rhind. The deceased lady, who has been in failing health since the death of her husband three years ago, has suffered for several months from heart trouble, and although she rallied sufficiently to take a drive and visit her old home the Sunday before her death, she became weaker during the week and passed away rather suddenly on Friday afternoon. She was 73 years of age. Mrs. Bjorklund came with her hus- band and family to reside in Wabigoon about 25 years ago and during that time she endear- ed herself to all who came in contact with her by her many acts of kindness and generosity. The funeral was held on Mon- day afternoon from St. John's Anglican Chureh to the Wabi- goon Cemetery, the service being conducted by the Rev. Geo. Plumeridge; the large attendance of friends and neighbors and number of floral tributes testi- fying to the affection the de- ceased held in the hearts of the people. The surviving members of the family are: a son in Sweden and four daughters, Mrs. Nelson, Dyment; Mrs. Friehagen, Simp- 'son, Sask.; Mrs. Berglund, Fin- Bert Rhind, several grand- mark; 'Wabigoon, and Mrs. and children; to whom the sympathy of all are extended.

New Talent Skowing Up To Advantage. By scores of 10-8 and 9-7 the Dryden Baseball Club auspicious- ly opened the season in a friend- ly series' with Wabigoon, in games played last Saturday night at the local diamond and at Wabigoon on Wednesday night. Both games were of the free hitting variety, which always pleases the supporters. With many new and younger players on the line-up, the first appear- ance of the teams was watched | with interest, and although the old reliables were responsible for the wins, it will not be long be- fore the new blood will tell. fixture, the locals were forced to stage a determined rally in order to finish ahead in the stretch. The game was interest- ing throughout with victory al- ways in the balance. Barber pitched for Dryden with Elliott and Count Sfreddo sharing the catching duties. Lundmark start- ed for Wabigoon and was vre- placed by Woodsworth. George Ponton did the receiving. In the second game, played at Wabigoon on Wednesday night, Dryden forged into the lead in the second inning and carefully protected the advantage all the way. Wabigoon threatened in the sixth and seventh frames, but failed to get on even terms. Darkness halted proceedings in the eighth. TLundmark and Woodsworth again shared heav- ing duties for Wabigoon with Ponton behind the bat. Barber was on the mound for Dryden with Foote catching.
