Dropping a line
BY KATHY BROMLEY
Earlier, this summer, when we
were experiencing record-break
ing temperatures, we decided that
we would take advantage of it and
do something different for a
change. A nice break from our daily
routines.
The boys had mentioned about
going fishing numerous times
before, but we kept putting it off
and telling them “Maybe tomor
row.” This time though, we were
easily persuaded, so off we went
with hooks, lines and sinkers.
After we arrived at a local fishing
pond, it took us no time at all to bait
our lines and wait patiently for a
curious fish to react accordingly.
Unfortunately, the novelty was
soon beginning to wear off, as I was
getting restless, thinking of all I
should have been accomplishing at
home. It wouldn’t be honest in
saying that I never got a bite - the
mosquitoes are a different story
altogether.
Without as much as a nibble, I
soon began to wonder if there was
any connection between the turtles
that were peeping their heads
through the water, and the fish. I
then began to assume that the
turtles were informing the fish of
the eager fishermen (and woman),
that were awaiting their prey. The
more Ithoughtof it, the more sense
it made to me. I’d be further off
dropping aline to our readers as
opposed to the fish, who were
showing no interest at all. Maybe
there is some truth to having bad
luck after having had fish and chips
for dinner, prior to our departure!
We all tried to re-locate our
lines, hoping to find THE spot, that
apparently didn’t exist. None of us
couldevensaytoothers -- “You
should have seen the one that got
away”, for neither did we. I soon
discovered that the “Ponds cold
water’ ’ that I had stepped in, didn’t
have the advantages that “Ponds
Cold Cream”, normally used, has.
The sky was soon giving obvious
signs that a storm was quickly
approaching. As the wind increas
ed, ripples in the water moved
rapidly. I found myself becoming
slightly sea-sick, even though I was
located on shore. Disappointed, we
began packing our gear, to return
home, empty-handed.
Suddenly, something dawned
on me and I reached an encourag
ing conclusion - “If there is any
truth to the theory that fish go
around in schools, heck, they’re
still on holidays! Better luck in the
fall.
QUOTE OF THE WEEK: Doctors
will tell you if you eat slowly, you’ll
eat less. This is particularly true if
you come from a large family.
Blyth Scouts
need help
As people make back-to-school
preparations the Blyth scout move
ment, including Beavers and
Cubs, is preparing for the new
season.
Activities and outings will be a
part of the usual very active
program with details about regi
stration still to be decided. One
problem which has come to light
already is that again there is a
shortageofleadersatall levels.
This presents an opportunity for
more members of the community
to become involved in this worth
while movement. Present leaders
can fill interested persons in on
details of requirements.
The group committee which
supports the leaders and boys also
needs an infusion of new blood,
