Old timers of the popular 'Lake­ port town of Goderich scratched their heads Monday and tried to member a week-end when i Perch have been hauled from waters of Lake Huron, than in past few days. Sunday saw the breakwaters the pier lined, with men, women children, all hauling in perch one af­ ter another. It was estimated that on that day alone more than four hundred people fished at Goderich and they hauled in the perch just as quick as they could manipulate the line. One after the other they came because there was no waiting for catches. One old-time fisherman said folks just had to drop the hook into the water and bring it up again, with a fine perch on the end. The popularity of the fishing con­ tinued on Monday and it meant a rushing business down along the wa­ terfront, supplying the fishermen with “minnies,” taking them back and forth to the breakwater. Both tugs operated by Capt. Bert McDon­ ald were going persistently all day' Sunday and one was in operation all Monday afternoon, tending the needs of those who came to Goderich to fish. i re- more i the the and and ANNOUNCEMENT Mr. and Mrs. Albert Scott announce the engagement of. their oldest daughter Verna Pearl, to Mr. Wil­ liam James Rundle, only son of Mr. and Mrs. Bert Rundle, of Woodham, the marriage to take place the end of this month.

FARMERS ARE WARNED TO GUARD TURKEYS a turkey flocks, the frustration of a of turkeys owned by of Lucan, Sunday Provincial police have issued warning to tamers to keep a close watch on their This follows raid on a flock William Boyle, night. Traffic Officer H. Gilchrist was called after a small boy noticed the gleam of a flashlight back in the Boyle fields near a clump of trees in which the turkeys roost. By the time the officer got back to. the trees there was no trace of any thieves and the turkeys had not been disturbed but it is believed that the call to the officer prevented a raid. Turkeys are now nearing the mar­ ketable stage and are usually accus­ tomed to roosting some little distance from farm buildings. Therefore the police issue the warning that steps be taken to prevent raids on the val­ uable flocks. Identification markings on the turkeys also tend to cut down on thefts.

In the middle of the afternoon it was esti­ mated one thousand perch had been caught. A Goderich man said he and a friend sat on the pier from 9.30 in the morning until about 1.30 in the afternoon and between them they had netted 290 fish, which isn’t a bad catch in any man’s country. What’s the reason for it all? The fisherman can’t seem to explain it, except to say there is always a. good run at this time of year and the run this year seems to be exceptionally heavy. On Wednesday evening, many friends of Mr. Thomas Brooke, Clandeboye, gathered qt his home to celeberate his seventieth birth­ day. Covers were laid for sixteen guests and a most delicious chicken dinner was served after which the evening was spent in progressive euchre and bridge.
