L;m was more than a mile south of Silver Lake when he against his ribs as he rememâ€" bered the vivid picture of the huge Canadian goose swimming near the shore when he walked into the sheltered cove yesterâ€" day. He gripped the .22 calibre rifle securely and anxiously, realizing how large a target the bird would present. Even a poor shot could not miss a bird that sizeâ€"and Lance Crandon was no poor shot! Perhaps Fleet Wings wouldn‘t be in the same cover! The idea sent his moccasins patting even faster along the hardâ€"packed trail. . He left the beaten path and hurried up a winding one that led him over several blueâ€" berry barrens and up a sloping ridge overlooking Silver Lake.

His brown eyes danced misâ€" chievously. The wild goose was even closer to ths shore than when Lance first discovered him near the tiny spring that fed into the lake. And Fleet Wings, apparently, was completely unâ€" aware of the boy‘s presence. _ Denise and Susan will be moving to Vancouver on July 20 and were presented with a pair of boudoir lamps as a token of affection. > Placing the gun in front of him, Lance stretched out full length among the bushes and watched the graceful goose move slowly over the lake like a huge piece of brownishâ€"gray foam. ‘The minute Fleet Wings came his way he would shoot.

Swimmers‘ itch is a condition eaused by the presence of a naturâ€" allyâ€"occurring parasitic fluke that infects waterfowl. It undergoes a complicated life cycle in which an intermediate form develops, existing in certain species of smails.

If only he didn‘t have to attend school every day, he could do this all the time. Schooll A frown clouded his young face for he suddenly remembered that he was supposed to work on a naâ€" ture project this weekend and {u had done nolhins about getâ€" ing his brother John to do something for him. One thing Lance Crandon did not intend to work on was a nature projâ€" ect. He didn‘t believe in that stuff about ". . . being kind to dumb animals and treating naâ€" ture with respect." As far as he was concerned, man dominated nature and had a right to treat it any way he felt like treating it. Miss Roberts‘ crisp, chilling words came to him: "I‘m countâ€" ing on you this time, Lance Crandon, to take part in this nature project.

She went on leecturing him, the whole class centering its atâ€" tention on him.

Twice in the next hour Lance raised the .22 when Fleet Wings came within firing range, and twice he lowered it. He would shoot the great bird later he told himself. This was the very first time he had been so close to a wild Canadian goose in such a manner as this.

Should they conâ€" ‘tact humans they penetrate the skin but soon die because humans are unsatisfactory terminal hosts. . A temporary itchy rash is produced because of an allergenic response to the minute cercariae, which usually persists for a week. ‘The boy became .so involved in observing Fleet Wings that ‘The Borough of Etobicoke, Recâ€" reation Department, invite you and your family to the concert in Kinsâ€" As many of the cercariae enter the skin as water droplets evaporâ€" ate after swimmers leave the water, the seriousness of the rash can be reduced somewhat by brisk rubbing with a rough towel.

Why, it would be dark soon. It was at that moment that Lance had an idea, an idea born out of a new discovery! He pulled out a soiled note pad and a stubby bit of pencil and started sketching the huge bird out on the lake. His fingers moved swiftly and surely, porâ€" traying the curving neck of the goose, the white patch near his eye and every other feature that Lance wanted to capture. When he was finished he looked in amazement at the lifeâ€"like creaâ€" ture on the paper. If the bird flew away this very minute and he never saw it again, he would be able to say he had wild ‘Fleet Wings captured by his pencil and from a wild environâ€" ment. As an afterthought he made a list of all the sounds (some such sounds as crickets, frogs, birds, waves, bees, etc. make) he‘d heard during the day while he lay watching Fleet Wings. In conclusion he wrote down all the things he learned about the wild goose. dale Park, on Monday evening, July 24, at 7 p.m., featuring Shan Clifâ€" ford and his banjo. Kinsdale Park is situated at Berry Road and Stephan Drive. The sun was easing itself out of sight when the boy moved slowly to his feet and lifted the unused gun. Across the smooth, darkening lake a loon per;:rmed his weird and lonely wild yodel. Fleet Wings saw Lance for the first time and he lifted his huge, colorful body into the air and circled high overhead. â€" Lance waved to him,‘feeling sad now that his wild friend had gone. "So long, Fleet: Wings," he cried; "take care and maybe some day we‘ll meet again." He started for home, wonderâ€" ing what Miss Robert would say on Monday morning when he handed in his note pad as his nature project. If she liked it, next week he‘d be back doing another on the loon out in the lake right now making more fuss than a dozen Canadian geese. Cool weather and a bit of rain certainly doesn‘t dampen the enâ€" ternity. Last Saturday‘s Ontario Outâ€" door‘ Swimming .

Etobicoke‘s Kurt Pluntke, who was right on Bucy‘s heels for twenty odd miles, suddenly found himself caught in a very strong current that swept him out of contention before he realized it.

He is aiming for a peak effort at the Lake St. John 28â€"mile grind next month. RON WALLBANK Last. Saturday‘s swimming at Brantford saw a man who really believes in the Olympic Games motto, "It is more important to compete than to win." North York Swim Coach Ron Wallbank donned his trunks to allow his other three boys to complete a relay team. Mr. Wallbank, who is also a school teacher, is obviously dedicated to educating children both academicâ€" ally and physically. To those few who criticized his effort, you obâ€" viously don‘t appreciate talent. Several years ago, Wallbank would have outclassed most of the competitors at the meet. He was the championship freestyle swimâ€" mer on the University of Toronto team. If some of today‘s comâ€" petitors had his talent and knowlâ€" edge of the sport, they might turn out to be as good as he was.
