As a matter of fact crude reels • were 'used over 304• years ago. At that time, within two° feet of the end of the rod, there was a hole made to put in a wind, turned with a- barrel to gather up and loose line. The earliest type of reel with, which we are familiar, consisted of a. spool with handle riveted directly to the spool. These reels were made • of brass a and were. without click or drag. Reels of this type are still on the market and retail at about one dollar. The mulitplying reel was an American invention,' introduced by a 'Kentucky watchmaker about 1834: Black bass fishermen . everywhere still fav"pur the orig- inal style reel, with few refine- •ments. Innovations such as free • spool, level winding and anti - back -lash devices now are built in- to these reels, but the general' construction remains the sante. Also extensively developed have been the big game fish reels.. These reels' are now built in sizes large enough to hold 1,000 .yards of 39 -thread line. They are equip- ped with handles that turn one , way only, and adjustable drags that can be controlled by the ang- ler. We have come quite 'a Way. since the first ,riniitive reel was lashed to a ro:.

Unless, the': circum- stances are exceptional, the most serious criminals. with whom. they , deal are, motorists who .transgr:.ss the provisions of the Highway . Traffic Act. When they, are call- ed upon to display 'courage they. show that they can tackle 'tiny - thing, from a bank bandit to 'a murderer. And it is to their credit that the highways! of''Ontario 'are .clean. and well , kept, • in the traffic sense.
