L U FRED DUCHAHME, Curresinondet9t1
Mr, and Mrs. Morley Fournier Many times it was said that this
and boys of London, spent Sunday
last, with Mr. and Mrs. Ed. Corriv-
eau, the latter's parents.
Yours truly and Mrs. Ducharme
were Thursday visitors with Mrs.
Theresa Hartman and family of
Zurich.
Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Hawkins
and Mr. Andrew Ducharme and
friend all of London, spent the
weekend at the home of Mr, Will-
iam Ducharme of this highway.
Mr. and Mrs. Pat Rau, of Lon-
don were weekend callers with re-
latives and friends in this neigh-
bourhood.
Glad to report that Mr. Fred
Seimon, after being confined to
his home for some time due to ill-
ness has now recovered to be out
and around again.
Ice Fishing
Today if we look to the west of
this highway we see Lake Huron
with a thick coat of ice, strips of
it is from frozen water, while the
greater part of it is slush, that is
frozen snow saturated with splash-
ing water in the early part of the
winter by north and westerly high
winds. Years ago fishing on the
lake with gill nets and hooks was
not only a hobby as perhaps today,
but settlers along this highway did
so for gain. They prepared for fish-
ing in the late fall, putting their
gill nets in readiness. The average
amount of nets each fisherman
had was probably five or six.
was too many exspecially when
fishing was poor, or perhaps on a
morning when temperature was 20
to 30 below the zero mark.
It was not necessary for them to
go far out for chances were as
good closer to shore for good hauls.
Most of the fishermen had trout
hooks out that was cenessary to go
out for perhaps three to five miles
and many fishermen were fooled
when pulling up their hooks with
only a bluewater haul
Fishing was like anything else,
once you started you formed a
habit from it and you would always
expect a better haul from one mor-
ning to another, Today there are
not quite as many who gill net fish
in winter, it is more difficult to get
started and besides the fish are not
so plentiful. In those past gone
years old timers were glad to pull
out in a morning lift to bring them
a dollar worth of fish that meant
change to carry them through the
winter month.
With the necessities of the home,
and pehaps with a little change
left over if the season was long en-
ough it meant much to them as in
those days money was hard to pick
up and besides what one could put
together was by hard and tedious
work. The older fishermen had
their places picked to set their nets,
and would remain put during the
winter season, while others with a
few empty nets for a few mornings

would move to other spots in the
hope to increase their luck; and
be more favorably rewarded for
their task. Some of them were
lucky and by spring they had put
together a fair stake which they
could boast of, while the greater
number of them only came out of
the rut in the spring for their win-
ter toil.
Fishing today is not like the
years gone by, as fishermen prefer
hot weather and where they can
camp along some stream, river or
perhaps some small lake in wood
lots with plenty of shade, and
where they can launch their hook
and line in a still water and where
they can place their self at ease.
They are not there to enrich them-
selves so long as they can string
a mesh of fish to satisfy their fill
They go not like those mentioned.
on rough ice with penetrating cold
to contend with for they go into
those wild spots to inhale the pure
air from the woods, and the scent
from different wild flowers and
green shrubs which gives them
vigor on their return to resume
their shop work or those who have
other delicate work to do, Such is
the fishing of today.
Mr. and Mrs. Frank Ryder and
family, of London, and Mr. and Mrs.
George Kushat, of Kitchener, were
weekend visitors with Mr. and Mrs.
Leon Bedard, of this highway. We
also report that Mr. Leon Bedard
left on Tuesday for St. Joseph's
Hospital, London, where he expects
to go through an operation. He was
accompanied by his wife, who will
remain in residence with her
daughters in that city during her
husband's stay in the hospital.

we are trying to carry on with
that frosty old termagant, Madame
de Winter, who has been planting
her icy feet in the small of our
warm backs for lo these many
year.
Oh, it's easy enough to be trap-
ped into this false delight in win-
ter. Each of us has within him
the tattered remnants of a small
child who once wallowed in snow
with the grunting pleasure of a
small pig rolling in wet mud, And
it's this buried memory of the poys
of winter that gets us in trouble.
The other day, for instance, I was
out with my son, who was learning
to ski, rather gingerly. I was eg-
ging him on to try the steep slope.
"Let's see you do it, Big Shot, if
it's so easy," he suggested. There
was no way out. I put on the skis,
swallowed once, closed my eyes,
and pushed off, my overcoat flying
out behind me. Seconds later, with-
out once having opened my eyes,
I found myself at the bottom, still
on my feet.

A draw was made for a $50.00

from the tickets sold went towards

ages suffered to his car on the way
to a fire. The balance went to-
wards defraying expenses for the
school patrol they are sponsoring.

ard Schenk, Thursday evening The

and. and ten girls were present.

ment: Begin record book and each

ing `schuss" or "slush" or what-
ever it is skiers cry as they skim

my iron will, which always comes
to my rescue when I decide I'll
learn to play the tuba, or write a
novel, or take up Russian. But
some people, who don't have the
same firm control of their fancies,
are caught up in the artificial ex-
citement of winter, and go char-
ging about in the snow, uttering
shrill little cries of simulated
pleasure.
I have alway maintained that
Canada in midwinter is fit only for
jackrabbits, alcoholics and children
under twelve. And the sooner we
get back to our age-old feud with
Winter, and forget this game of
footsie we're trying to play with
her, the sooner we'll regain our
old, decent, Canadian, midwinter
surliness.
