Take six or seven fellows, who have kept their nose to the grindstone month after month, in this overâ€"populated area, and expose them to that northern air and anything‘s liable to hapâ€" pen. Between everybody taking turns at cooking, washing dishâ€" es, and going to the store for more provisions, etc., it was a crazy mixedâ€"up weekâ€"end. We all had a wonderful time howâ€" ever and did catch a few pickerâ€" el, perch and pike. One meal consisted of a seven pound roast which we barbeâ€" eued on a rotating spit over charcoal. It takes one five pound bag of charcoal briquetâ€" tes, and about three hours to give you the juiciest, tastiest seven pound roast you‘ve ever eaten. Despite the fly bites. the sunâ€" burn, and lack of sleep, all the fellows have asked me if we can do it again in September. I‘m considering it. IN DEFENCE OF THE ; NORTHERN PIKE It is still my belief that the Northern Pike is more deservâ€" ing of the anglers‘ respect, and is entitled to a more dignified status and protection than it now enjoys. 5 Since devoting one of the *Woodland Topics" columns to the Northern Pike, I enjoyed reading a very interesting book by F. H. Wooding, entitled "The Angler‘s Book of Canadian Fishes". _ The section devoted to the Northern Pike pleased me very much, and I take the liberty of quoting the following lines in this column: Two weeks ago I had the pleasâ€" ure of playing host to some of the Editorial and Advertising types from this paper. . It was supposed to be a weekâ€"end of fishing at my cottage on Lake Nipissing. Actually the fishing part was the least of the memâ€" orable two day outing. How can a bunch of fellows be good fishermen in the daytime when they stay up most of the night? "It (the Northern Pike) can ®lmost always be depended upâ€" en to provide good sport, even when other species are hard to get, and its habit of smashing at a lure, making good runs, soundâ€" ing, suddenly rising to the surâ€" face to churn water into a boil, are all that an angler has a right to expect of any fish. 303%$ pUXNDas w.

D. Birr as he told me about the time he was staying at Oâ€"Peeâ€"Chee Lodge just south of Temagami. Having fished all | day in that area, he and his‘ companions were about to reâ€" turn to camp with a beautiful i‘ catch of pickerel which, he estimates, totailed up to about twenty pounds of fish. In the act of pulling up anchor, the stringer and all was lost overâ€" board. Three or four unhappy fishermen watched their days catch slowly disappear below the surface of the lake. | ‘Northern Pike taken from cold, clear waters are cleanâ€" cut, powerful creatures and exâ€" tremely _ good _ eating. _ The Northern Pike is a noble fish, deserving the dignity of the name given it." "Go on", said the other guests back at camp. ‘Who‘re kiddin‘? You didn‘t catch all those fish you say you lost." Who could prove the veracity of their claim? "OK." said the Americans, laughing, as they took off from the dock. Some hours later the boatload of anglers returned. Before tying up, one of them yelled out, â€" ‘"We saw your stringer of fish." "Where?" said Mr. Barr. "About a hundred feet in the air‘! Came the answer. About a hundred feet in the air! What do you mean?" said Mr. Barr. "How could my stringer be a hundred feet in the air? We saw it sink in the lake." Next morning, a boatload of American fishermen set out on a fishing jaunt, and Mr. Barr shouted to them, â€" "Don‘t forâ€" get to look for our stringer of pickerel. We lost it right at tye spot â€" where _ you‘re _ going." ‘Just as we were rounding a | the point" _ related _ the _ excited | the fisherman, ‘we were surprised | jce to see a large hawk, â€" or it could have been an eagle, take off slowly from the water carrying a string of fish in its talons. It was quite a struggle for the bird who barely made it over the tree tops. We beâ€" lieve you now. There they were, â€" about twenty or twentyâ€"five pounds of fish a hundred feet in the airl" Your car picked up, "Supertest" safety serviced and delivered at your convenience.

King Street School is the nearâ€" est school and busy Weston Road is the only route. Sandra has to understand and obey the rules of the road. Sandra is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Derrick Harris, who live at 85 St. Johns Road W., near the southern limits of Weston. Sandra was spotted by Deputy Fire Chief George Parker as she carefully watched for a gap in the traffic and made her left turn signals to enter Weston Road from King St., on her journey toward home. (Motorists be careful! Sandra says she has many friends who also take this hazardous route to school). Councillor J. D. Service, chairâ€" man of the Parks and Recreaâ€" tion Committee, recommended to North York Council Monday, the expenditure of $150,000 for Council also approved the exâ€" penditure og $39,900 for proâ€" posed parks development, which included the grading and deveâ€" lopment of Exbury Park, and Lanyard Park, for a total cost of $12,500. the construction of an artificial ice rink and a community buildâ€" ing. I Of that amount, $120,000 is‘ allocated for the ice rink, which | will be erected at Glen Long| Park by the firm of R. T.

He pointed out that ferâ€" tilization and seeding of new areas is a calculated risk, and is | heavily dependant on right timâ€" ing and suitable weather, with | the risk that the turf may still be unsatisfactory. He also ob served that with seeding there | seemed to be a greater amount / of weeds, than with a good es ; tablished turf. . Any one. Large, medium or small ... Canadian or imported ... new or used.
