River Possibilities
Paging Mr. Walton
rests I n t he newspaper at one of our contempor-
aries wh e re three 'followers of Isaac Walton" were pursu-
ing their favourite spore on a "piaeaten-m.1 expedition".
Which is something like calling- a spade a glorified imple-
ment of agriculture.
Somehow we doubt if many "followers of Isaac -\\Tal-
ton" have ever heard of the idI boy, and we are pretty
sure that darned few of them have ever read his treatise
on fishing. If you suggested a -piscatorial expedition"
to most anglers, they'd wonder what you were hinting at.
With poor old Isaac dead these three hundred years,
perhaps it's time we dug up a more fitting name for mod-
em anglers.
And in the interests of plain let's hope -there
will be nothing piscatorial about it.

Far Fields
Every sqrraner thousands people from the south of
the province trek north in search of recreation and, in
mana- cases, fish. Even in Wingham the tendency is for
angfers to go north fn search of sport.
While there is no doubt that fishing in the north
country is in many ways superior to the local product, it's
not as 'simple as 211 that. If you know the spots up there,
tad know the local habits of northern fish, you'll probably
orne home with a bagful.
Unfortunately we aren't all in that position. Anyone
atilo is host cruising the north on the off-chanee of catch-
ing -fish may find. paradoxically enoutzh. that the fishing
back borne is more proeiwtive than the greener fields far
away.

doing to the DPP
Time was when friend Fido was content wit a few
scraps from the table and the odd knuckle bone as a special ,
,Sunday treat. No one worried whether he had a balanced
diet or enough vitamins, and Fido seemed to thrive on
whatever happened to be handy.
Modern science has changed all that. Now we are
assured that Fido's food should contain everything that
humans need—plus chlorophyll. Dog food ads speak of
"wholesome ingredients", -carefully inspected meats",
"spotless kitchens" ,and -veterinarian's foimulas". And
while everyone knows what kind of meat it is, one brand
is purported to come in chicken or liver flavour.
We have no doubt that these preparations are as rich
in protein, fats, vitamins and minerals as their labels claim.
And, for all of us, they may be chicken flavoured too,
although we prefer to take their say-so for that.
In our humble opinion, however, modern science has
failed the canine world in one respect. No one has yet
prepared a dog food that any red-blooded dog would pre-
fer to the contents of a garbage can.

John Hanna is the proud possessor
of scene very interesting pictures of
1 the town in earlier days . . Taken
I about fifty or sixty. years ago, the
prints are a bit dim now from fading,
t but there is still a lot of good sharp
detail there . . A couple of the
photographs show the inside of the
Hanna stare as it was around the
t turn of the century, with everything
from drygoods to groceries, and no
less than seven clerks behind the
counters . Another picture shows
.Wingleam's first fire department,
complete with horse drawn hook-and-
ladder and pumper • .. In those days
the firemen had an official uniform
which they apparently wore on such
ceremonial occasions as when sitting
for the photographer In a picture
of earlier vintage can be seen the
main street, near the site of what is
now the town ball, with what looks
to -be Adams' feed store in the fore-
ground .. The old store of J. H1111118„
situated farther north than the pres-
ent site, can also be seen, with its
front Verandah over the sidewalk,

All this talk about black or white
sidewalks In Wingham reminds us of
the spat of trouble they had in Luck-
now over the same black mixture
Seems the village decided to rep*
Lucknow sidewalks with the black
bituminous mix, which was spread on
the sidewalk on Friday`night . On
Satutday morning one of the village
merchants promptly temoVed the
offending :nit, 'terming it "road ma-
terial", piled it up in a Gentile of
heaps on the 'thirh, and tailed upon
tine council to have it removed .
Result Was u. fine for the merchant,
'but -we have not Yet heard whether
subsequent, bituminous deposits linVe
been found oh the sideWalk in front of his store or not,
It's amazing what a difference a
saving of three cents will make
Some enterprising people have put a
30c package of cigarettes on the
market, and they're selling like hot WI
cakes . All over town, all of a sud-
den, you can see people puffing away IN
at these newcomers in the smoke
field . . . And, strange as it may seem, —
suffering no ill effects from same . •
Some of the people claim they're if
better than the 33c brands, others say -.=
they're just as good, while still others Al
(and most honest ones, it seems to
us) say they're not quite as good, but
that the conventional brands aren't
worth the three cent difference . .
Not being amongst those who know _
tobacco best, we wouldn't know. .
But what beats us is how a bunch of i
unknowns can come along, -market a E
product nobody's ever heard of, and n
sell it—simply on price, and we pre- .Cjs
sume, quality.
