VICPW on the lunch committee are Mrs. Jim Mrs. Ivan Hoggart, Mrs. Don Mc- Dean, Mrs, William Gibbings, It was a pleasant trip from' Montreal to our first long stop at Levis. Watching the country- side in its fresh blanket of snow was as fascinating as any summer spectacle. I was glad I had chosen this season of the year for my trip, Rabbit tracks made a crazy quilt pattern in the fluffy white surface of the strip farms by' the railway tracks, which are pecul- iar to the Province of Quebec. Here and there would appear a large disturbed sflot where per- haps a fox had flushed a pheasant feeding near a bush. I watched for the fishernien I I had seen at one time, sitting patiently on the frozen St. Lawr- ence, perched on a box or wooden chair over a small hole cut in the ice. I remembered the colourful picture they made with their bright habitant tuques and long knitted scarves dotting the wide expanse of white beauty with a splash of red or blue, This trip so far, I had not spotted a single fisherman. Long 'before insect repellatits were concocted or the word "to- getherness" was coined, I was tak- en on a fishing trip. I suppose searching the river for a bent over figure had reminded me of the in- cident. We were summering that year, in the Haliburton Highlands of Ontario. Nearby was an excellent golf course which my husband was greatly enjoying, but apparently with a stricken conscience. One morning, when I was all puckered up to kiss him goodbye and hie me to the beach for a sun bath, he announced he was taking the whole family fishing, I was instructed to pack frying pan, butter, salt and pepper and rolls. The idea was that we would catch a fish, then pull into shore and cook it pranto. This was sup- posed to teach the two lads some- thing, I believe it was camping lore, and provide a relaxing time for me with nothing to do but twiddle my thumbs. What fun we were going to have, all of us to- gether. Perhaps my husband could play par golf, but I soon had my suspic- ions he was no fisherman. Hiring the boat was a cinch. We were ev- en able to augment the bamboo poles, and "spinners" we had bought at the corner grocery in the resort town, when advised by the boathouse owner, after he had looked over our tackle, to rent some of his equipment. There were armies of mosquit- os and a few black flies left over from the spring,invasion, who soon found my sun-suited hide was not only vulnerable but apparently tasty. After I •had let out a few yelps I was implored to keep quiet or the fish wouldn't bite. Head of the house insisted, when I invited him to row further out on the lake away from insect headquarters, the fish always ran in schools on You Can Depend On when kidneys fail to remove excess• acids and wastes, backache, tired feeling, disturbed rest often follow.

We did finally catch a fish. But not before hours had been spent in untangling lines, seeking new and better spots and arguing at great length as to the advantages of trolling over still fishing. Person- ally I preferred the ftrolling, even if my hands were blistered from rowing while two boys and a man pursued their separate bobbies. Building a fire was quite a task, especially when father insisted on showing the boys how to light the twigs and dry leaves we had gath- ered, by twirling one stick against another, When we were all prac- tically exhausted with hunger he gave in and lit the fire with, a match. Thank heaven he volunteered to scale and gut the fish, which must have weighed all of a pound. We then cut it in four tiny pieces and fried it in the butter. It was at this moment, when we were all drooling in anticipation that we discoverel that I had forgotten the salt. If ever a proud fisherman was deflated, it was at that mom- ent. The fish not only tasted flat, but the entire adventure had sud- denly lost its flavour as well. Both parents decided "togetherness" or fun "en famille" was more enjoy- able with one member of the fam- ily on the golf course, another on the beach, a third in a tree hut and the fourth slung in a ham- mock with a good book. Wonder if the habitant wives ever sit over a fishing hole in the ice? Perhaps on the day my train rode along the river's edge, they had protested and won their argu- ment that fishing is a waste of time.
