With cutoff shorts arid sneakers, We waded in the river Mew wore chest high waders, In case ofalligators. The little crabs were best, But everyone tried the rest The worms and suckers and frogs, Crickets, hoppers and polywogs, No matter what you chose, The fish were biting in droves. Pongracz was there alright.; He'd been fishing half the night, And the boys from Detroit were back. But they just didn't have the knack, The Hereford Head made it too, With the Thompson Boys to boot The Moleman was a counting, But the pressure was a mounting, After twenty minutes at the river, The Sturgeon Boys were declared.the winners. The Bass came out of the water, Tail walkin' like they ought to They jumped and fought some more, But we dragged them into shore. The Great Lakes reels were working fine .Though patched with tape and binder twine. With six fish on our stringers, We were looking forward to:dinner.

Well six and six made twelve, And twelve was most of a dozen. So said he, ',Won can go free, , But don't be back 'til morning." Back in the bush he glowered, 'Cause we stayed for another hour We didn't fish no more, But we finished up the two four And laughed and laughed and told some jokes, 'Cause he was sittin' in the Poison Oak. - Most of this was fiction, ' But_it could of well been fact So Saturday morning at the river, You'd better clean up on your act! the end I' hope you enjoyed n y -little poem about bass -- fishing.

Historical groups are defended The youthful ap- pearance of 'the new president of the Ontario Historical Society, Dr. Gerald Kilian, who teaches at King's College, London, gave credence°to the scorn he expressed in his talk for those who deride the efforts of local historical societies. One description in particular had aroused his ire. "Local societies are uniformly filled with little old ladies of both sexes!" Dr. Killan was ad- dressing 70 members and guests of the ,;Bayfield Historical Society, who were gathered around him on the lawn of the John 3Hiwdm'arsh lo'g cabin—on ` the shore of Lake Huron. It was . a perfect summer evening with a gorgeous sunset backdrop. The cotton- wood' trees rained down their fluff and 'a few mosquitoes were on hand. The audience replete, after a 'happy hour' and a bang-up pot -luck supper were in a receptive mood, though some took ,ex- - to certain of the young speaker's remarks. This led to a spirited interchange at the end of his talk as to whether plain historical facts are 'sterile' - the word Dr. Kilian ° used, as to the value of oral history, the need to support . the parent society and other • matters. His—defence of local societies* was justifiable; he has acted as chain -nail of the local societies committee of the Ontario Historical Society and has seen "the increase in numbers of young people like myself, who have yet to reach their mid-life crises". Dr. Kilian has arranged many regional, conferences for local Turn to page 13.
