We had just finished a shore dinner, prepared by our guide, and had nothing in the World to do but have a little rest and go back and catch some more fish. No wives nattering, children squabbling, telephone ringing, tires squealing, newspapers blat= ting headlines. No decisions to make, disputes to handle, compromises to make, people to get sorted out, problems to solve. It may not be. paradise, but Northern Saskatchewan makes a pretty fair approximation to it, if you like fishing, and clean air, and a complete lack of tension, noise and pollution. Some of the weekly newspaper people had elected to go on a fish- ing trip in some of the best fishing., country in the world. It was like asking a boozer to go on a winer tasting trip through Southern France. We were guests of the Sas- katchewan Department of Tour- ism and Renewable Resources, quite a mouthful.

So much for the ming,. It's so good that a four-year-old chim- panzee or an IN year-old senile grandmother could catch fish. I know. 1 caught one over nine pounds. He was only seven when we netted him, but he's been growing steadily since. Aside from the fishing, there is the magnificent feeling of being away from it all. Miles and miles and miles of clean water and thousands of acres of bush, and little old you right in the middle of it. Most of the northern lakes have only a few outfitters located on them, and the government, to cheers from rne, is not leasing ,-,more shore prorty, ithout government intery tion, I can see these beautiful, ne ' lakes ravaged by motor -boa s, ringed with cottages, and soggy with pollution in a very few years, With 20 -odd assorted bodies, men, women and children, and a most congenial group we were, I was,dropped off, after a bone -rat- tling, seven -hour bus ride, at Jan Lake. We were all pretty pooped, and I hit the jackpot. It was my first experience of that renowned western hospitality. My hostess, Mrs. Jean Martin, showed me to a fine, modern, log cabin, com- pletely outfitted with eiterything including indoor waterworks and sleeping room for eight. I had it all to myself. It was like walking deep into the jungle and being shown to a room at the Ritz. The Martins couldn't do enough for me. They don't serve food at their camp (you cook your own) but insisted I eat all my meals .with them, and refused any pay- ment. Garnet, the husband, and Bernard, No. 1 son, fixed me up with a cap, a jacket, a fishrod and tackle, and Mrs. Martin insisted on making a shoredinner for me. Highlight of my whole trip, per- haps, was an hour's flight over the area, at fairly low level, with Bernard Martin at the controls. He flies an ancient but sturdy Aeronca, and it was my first flight in a small, light aircraft for many a year. My wife would have had a stroke if she'd seen her old ' boar '`limb' into than. It was quite a thrilling flight, with a view of lakes and islands as far as you could see. It was made even more exciting by the facts that I had no parachute, there was only one engine, there was no place to land if the motor conked, except on a lake. And we had no pontoons' One other circumstance made the whole trip a good one. My fishing companion was Barry Wenger of Wingham, a friend of 25 years. It was just by accident we were thrown together, but I was glad. There's nothing quite so harrowing as spending two days in a boat with someone who gets on your nerves. Barry and 1 had a great time, talking about our grandchildren, and agreeing that we get bigger fish than this back on the Bruce Peninsula. • Modern Etiquette By Roberta Lee Q. Is one supposed to open one's .napkin into the lap aa - soon as one sill down at the table, or should one wait until the food is served? A. Guests should- wait until the hostess takes up her napkin before opening their napkins. Q. When a ferl is attending a boy friend's church with him and his parents, is she supposed to drop an offering of her own into the collection plate when it is passed? A. Although not exactly rE- quircd of her. still it would be nice of her to give an offering of her own — just as fir any good cause. Q. My boy friend has asked me to go to a wedding with }urn, to which I have not been invited Would this be all right? A. If the wedding is to be in a church, you may go without an invitation. But you ma) not go to the reception following the wedding without an invitation.

This is /where the disfigur, ing white and "off color spots in the Picture are "re- moved" by filling them in with a fine sablepauit b�r!t ht and dyes made for the puri pose -- which are available at most good photo supply stores. And it is here . that the photographer learns about "dust" in the camera, and in the darkroom, and what lack of cleanliness in prosing, particularly, can cost. • Be- cause it may take anywhere from a minute or two, to an hour or longer, to properly "finish" that print. There isn't much doubt that the "bigger the blowup or enlargement the more "spots" appear which would not be apparent in a smaller print — and this means that the 351nm user simply must be doubly vigilant and careful about dust. Good photographers never have felt they had to restrict themselves strictly to the photographic process in pro- ducing pictures. And one of the most widely practiced, and probably least discussed, techniques is so-called "spot- ting" and more recently with the popularity of color, "print enhancement." While almost everyone uses the same materials and equipment virtually every photographer has his own pet methods. One photographer will put several drops of dye on an artist's ceramic "chip" and let it dry. Then with a brush dampened slightly he Will "pick up" a bit of the dye, diluting it with the amount of water necessary, and "spot" the white spot out by "peck- ing" or "speckling" the area out gradually.

Located in India's Bihar State is the Buddh-Gaya temple, cradle of the Buddhist religion. The temple still standing was in all likelihood in its present form over one thousand years ago.
