He should know something of what he is talking, staving lost .his fishing business when fishing ceased. His argument is that smelt attacks trout fry. The millions of smelt ate up all young lake trout. Lamprey eels, he 'con- tends, have been with us for anany years, but only attack ad- ult trout. It .could be the trout didn't have a chance against bo.h smelt and eels. Smelt were introduced into a small Sake near 'Lake Michigan sante years ago to provide nat- ural food for salt water sal- mon, es an experiment, The salmon all died, but smelt escaped into bhe Great Stakes where they now are caught by millions every spring when they come to shallow water at spawn- ing time. Another bit of information gleaned during holidays was Mow 'widespread is the fame of a Staffa man, W. 'R. Parsons, as a mover of .buildings. When the old Shiells' store at AniberleY was removed to a nearby farm to become a chicken :house, it whs .the 'Parsons' :outfit that came to do the job. That is over 30 miles from Staffa. * a: * There is a little story goes with this. The day,after the moving a neighbor called to see the familiar old store on its new location. He teasingly said to Mrs. Bill Kempton, wife of the new owner, that the would like a pound of 'butter, please. I have no butter, but I can sell you tea;' she answered, While removing old cartons from the attic she had found 100 pounds of tea, put away probably in the day* before the trucks made daily visits. The Kemptons found it still made de- licious tea. and were happy at an unexpected bonus with the building. * * * The opening of a :brewer's re- tail warehouse in the Town of Kincardine was heralded as a great thing for the local merch- ants who felt much shopping was diverted to nearby Walker- ton which already had an oasis. * * * The tall stone lighthouse at Point Clark -will be 100 years old in 195 7. Lighthouse keeper !Campbell says the structure is due for re -pointing and a coat of whitewash next year, but no ceremonies.'

HAME O'MINE THE SBAFORTH NIOWS--Thursday, August 10, 1956 Last night a .dream recalled an boyhood years Back .in theur ld home wit la lr pioneers.o 0 o wth The dreamt did not disclose rn age just (then, Memory whispered "you Wer nine or ten". The home was (built in eightee thirty-six, Kind neigihbors helped to built :they nralde the +bricks. The fawn 'continues in the faunil name, To -day I'm surely proud to ca it 'hame' 1 A shouse of many rooms, It ha to be With 'fourteen .echiddren in ou Seven boys, seven girds wilt] Moth and Dad, No waste, no want, content wit] what we had.` Were +I to write a verse fa every year, Many would bring a smile ani some a tear. Yet through alt all we had a lo' of fun, A good ,prescription that foe everyone, With dog and gun, arty dog faithful hound,. The nearby ;woods a happy hunt ing ground. Woodland is now changed t waning 'fields of grain, I'd like to be that barefoot fbo: again. To me those memories are 'pre aious still, Home, churc(r and school, the +miller and the mill.. The ponds where I caught fish, a barefoot lad. And there I learned to wad' with dear old Dad. Three dozen meals each day, a bedtime snack, Can you +blame ane for w•ishin to go back, The tallow candles shed a mellow ligtht, No sleeping pills were needed there at night. Some+lives we see are short, others are long, Some 'filled with kindly deeds, and some go wrong. Now as I scan bhe years I plainly see That Providence has been most kind to me.
