SUGAR and SPICE
(By W. (Bill) B. T. Smiley)
Well, I've been deer hunting in
the north woods. It's not so bad,
really, Sort of like running a-
gainst a stone wall with your head.
It feels so good when you stop.
And there's a certain modest pride
in arriving home in one piece and
looking only ten or twelve years
older than when you left.
* * 'I,
Then there's- the comradeship, pf
course. If you're lonely, go hunt-
ing with a gang. There's something
intimateo about a hunting camp
that welds a firm friendship a-
mong . its members. It's difficult
to be lonely,, in a hunt camp, where
'quarters are* close you find the
fellow next to you already has one
leg in your long underwear when
you're trying to pull it on. •
Anybody can be a deer hunter.
All that's required is the lungs
of a racehorse, the stamina of a
bull elephant, the dogs eT an 01-
ympic marathoner, lots of heavy
clothes, and a vivid imaginapon.
The last-named is the most impor-
ant of all, just as it is to the more
successful fishermen, golfers and
other true sportsmen.
*
When you encounter a small
fawn at a range of 15 feet, and he
gives you a cool -once-over before
ambling into the- bush while you
fill the air around him with hot
lead; forget it. By the time you
get back -Co camp, he's a huge
buck, he was 300 yards away and
going like the wind, but your clang-
ed gun: jammed; and you were so
mad you.. .almost wrapped it a-
round a tree. * *
You could even be blind and go
deer hunting. One of our - party
spent about' 80 hours in the bush
and. didn't see a -deer, though' guns
were slamming, hounds' tonguing,
and hunters hallooing all about
him. My theory was that he'd
been bitten by, a deer as a child,
and had a complex that wouldn't
let him believe those ereatures
flashing- past Were really deer,
He claimed his bullets were get-
ting worn out; putting them 'n the
rifle every morning, and taking
them all oat again at. night.
I did- a little better than that.
After about: eight days and eight
hundred miles of tramping around
the bush, looking at the pretty
Christmas trees sand wondering
what they'd. fetch in the city, I
rounded a corner and carne face
to: face with the etierhy, huge-. wbuotht()about 50 pounds, dressed
.11! * '4+ *
We both leaped.' backward in dis-
may, but he- had 'the -advantage of
me, with his four feet, Both of
mine went out frofn under me, my
musket- went up and I went down,
It was' • downright hurniliatng,
crawling .around in the snow, try-
ing to find my rifle, with the deer
helping' arse look. By the time.rd
found it (cleaned. the snow ouf of
the barrel and, brusher myself off
So he'd stop taking me for Santa
Claus, he'd got bored and wander-
ed off.
* k, * *
After that, I confined myself•to
hunting for a nice, quiet thicket
where I could eat my lunch out of
the wind. Those lunches were the
highlight of the day. After a
weary tramp, you'd find yourself
a secluded spot, and light a cherry
fire. Just as You were about to
set-to at your ham and jam sand-
wich and tin of sardines, about
eight hunters would materialize,
none of them with any lunch.
* * *
They'd stand around the fire,
watching every swallow like so
many sad-eyed hounds, until the
stuff was choking you. I got so
that I'd set a huge spruce on fire,
so they could see it for miles, then
run like blazes for . a half-mile,
crouch behind a stone, and gulp
my grub.
* *
What I looked forward to most
were the evenings. After a garg-
antuan meal that would make an
ulcer specialist rub his hands with
glee, it was wonderful to lie back
on your bunk, pleasantly exhaust-
ed, and breathe in the good, clean
hunting smells of the wood smoke,
tha gas from the lamp. Sort of
real and vital y'know.
You acquire a completely new
vocabulary when you go deer hunt-
ing. First, you drop all your g's
and slam a bad word between
every pair of good words. Then,
it seems, deer hunting, is never
carried on in the bush. It takes
place. in and around such things
as slashes, sloughs, burns, greens
and ridges.
* * *
Thus, when yoti are telling about
where you saw that big buck, it
was ddfinitely not in the bosh.
It was on the- edge of that green,
just below the big ridge, back of
the slash, between those two little
sloughs, on the: other side .of the
burn. As there are about 600 of
each of these articles in any square
mile of hunting ground, you are
perfectly safe. Nobody can go
back, find- the little fawn tracks
and your empty shel4 twelve feet
from them ,.and call you a liar>
*
After a few 'days in the bush,
all deer hunters, are cast in the
same mold-, They eat like pigs,
look like hairy apes, and smell like
a gathering of venerable- goats.
* *
These are a few random and
hurried impressions taken from
the voluminous notes I made in
preparation for the volume I am.
writing. entitled Buck or Buddy?
or How To Toll Friend From Doe.
While you're waiting for its pub-
if you see a fellow being
dragged off at the end- of a rope,
kicking and screaming, about this
time next year, that'll be me going
deer hunting again,
The Bible Today
(By 'UM W. H. Moore)
"The Gospel of St. Mark is us-
ually the first book of the 13Ible
to, be translated into a new-lang-
uage" so stated the Rev, Pharn
Xuan Tietnam a gifted modern
translator, He gives the following
reasons:
(c1) S. Mark is the easiest Gos-
pel to translate from the literary
standpoint,
(2) Since St. Mark is the shor-
test of the four Gospels, it takes
less time to translate it and it can
be revised' quickly.
(3) This book does not contain
a lot of proper names which are
hard to translate,
,(4) The tribespeople understand
it easily when they read it.
(5)- 'I have seen many people
saved as the result of reading this
book. „-

THE RATEPAYERS of Goderich Township
have done what. was to be expected of them and
are holding an election this year. The folk
there can be counted upon to demand what is
their right in a democratic country, and to show
more enthueiasm, and interest in the, affairs of
their government than perhaps, other neighbours
of Clinton, or of the town itself.
With almost all of the municipalities in the
county showing a trend to acclamations there is-
a contest for Reeve in Goderich Township. The
present reeve is- being challenged for his job by
one of his councillors, in the time-honoured step
to "move up'". The present reeve is more than
usually interested in keeping his seat this year,
COMPULSOR
WHEN YOU GO to buy your 1958 car lic-
ense, you will be asked for a certificate from.
your insurance agent which states that you
carry a minimum of $10;000 and $20,000 Public
Liability and Property Damage of at least $5,000.
If you can't produce- this •certificate, you will be .
required to pay an extra $5 registration fee. '
(This particular little certificate, which we
received from our own insurance agent, almost
became lost' beyond recall in the welter of papers,
etc., which have accumulated on our desk during
the past six months. If you have come close to
losing yours-, put it away in a safe place, now.
It's worth $5 to you).
The Motor Vehicles Branch of the Depart-
ment of Transport has announced' that as of
January 1, 1958; all owners of motor vehicles
who do not have this minimum requirement of

Also, ' and here's' the important part: the
government has announced that an owner .of a
motor vehicle who cannote pay a judgement for
-damages arising from a motor accident to at
least those minimums mentioned, will be prohib-
ited .from owning or operating a motor vehicle.
If a judgement is rendered against him, -all per-

And—if assets are not available the claim-
ant can ask for re-imbursement from the Un-
