That is what happened to Carl when he went down to the fish houses to procure a cohoe salmon for Good Friday dinner. There in fish boxes, fresh out of the icy water, he saw some fea]f it}:. Right away liis month began to water. He used to catch them i *the°Bayfield River which flowed at the back of their farm on the �tftli,, concession,%nley Township. His .wither .stuffed and roasted ihekn:,And were they' delicious! ''Lucy has an allergy for fish. She might eat a small portion one day and get away with it, but if she ate some the next day, she'd be ill. So she couldn't help eat a stuffed redfin.. cl Nevertheless, the memory of those fish kept haunting him, so } April 10, .he,went clown and purchased two big fellows one six and a half and one seven and a half pounds: Carl's mother used to can extra redfins and suckers which he caught, so that when eaten the pones were oft like those found in tinned salmon. But he couldn't recall how she did it. So Luey telephoned Mrs. L. H. D. MacLeod no, her husband .had always salted fish, she said, but she'd tasted the home canned product. In a few minutes Mrs. MacLeod arrived with an old book on !canning and .under "Fish" was the following "Scale fish and wipe 'with damp cloth. Cut into pieces of serving size. Pack into thoroughly sterilized jars and add 1/2 teaspoon of salt to each pint jar. No water is required, Process for 90 minutes at 15 lbs. pressure or in ;hot water bath for four hours, counting the time after the water ;starts to boil." Carl knew that his mother had used vinegar but he didn't know the quantity. M1 So Lucy was instructed to telephone his cousin, Miss Bertha I Diehl, Clinton. l i Yes, she had canned suckers and redfins by various methods but she Jiked the open kettle method the best: "Remove the backbone and ribs. Cut. in serving portions and cook in a solution of equal parts vinegar.and water. Pack into sterilized jars hot, adding a little of.the fluid so that it filled the jar, and add a teaspoon of salt." This sounded like a choice method to Lucy. Carl cut up one of the fish, wrestled with removing the big bones, and then his courage gave out when he thought of watching the pot Ito see that the fish wasn't over -cooked. He packed the portions into jars, added the salt and appealed to Lucy: "How much vinegar?" She, who had no knowledge of its use with fish except when her mother soused herring, made a wild guess at; "one tablespoon to a jar." If they are on the acid side, it will be her fault. Later, Lucy asked Mrs. Nelson Heard if she knew the proportions, "It's so long ago," she replied, "I think Maw put in a teaspoon of salt and the same of vinegar to each jar." Then she went on to tell that she had read once that red fruit colouring could be added to make the fish look like salmon. `Mrs. Heard recalled once when she was a little girl that her father, the late George Lawrason, caught so many back at the river that he had to get; they±lterses and wagon to haul them up. And then he gave them all away! "Mr." quickly cut up the second fish, wrapped and consigned it to the locker. He'd had enough of old-fashioned methods and was glad to use the modern freezing method of preservation. From these two fish he extracted considerable roe. He had called the fish "shad" and Lucy discovered in a modern cookbook that shad roe was a great delicacy and so she read the recipe out to him. And he enjoyed roe for supper. With so many names attached to this species of fish, Lucy began to make inquiries, Fresh water Fishes of Eastern Canada by W. B. 4Ott'u s that,the American, Sha is a p. fish, which has made its' way in ;the L Lawr ace and Ottawa avers. In rare instances Gizzard, shad has been caught in Georgian Bay and Lake Huron. .The fish which is often known locally as "Shad" is a Northern )R,edhorse (moxostoma aureolum) commonly known as Shortheaded redhorse, redfin sucker, mullet. It eats mainly aquatic insects and molluses, from the bottom of the lake or stream. Occasionally it is taken by commercial fishermen. The flesh is flaky and sweet -tasting.

KELCER A representative of the Department of Lands and Forests told Huron County Council Friday that an open deer season November 3, 4 and 5 in Huron is a "good idea." The deep population is fairly plentiful now and a deer season would not do any great harm, it Live fox pups are required for experimental purposes. The animals will be given a new anti -rabies serum, released and test made to discover whether or not the animal becomes immune to the disease. Foxes are thought to be the most susceptible to rabies. For more information, contact the Department of Lands and Forests. It was noted that not all municipal clerks claim the ears HARBOURLITE iNN ANNUAL MOT.
