Fish Story — But True
During the February cold spell
we notice a thick coat of snow and
ice covers the lake. It is a re-
minder of the years when settlers
along the old "Sauble Line,"
known today as Highway 21,
would look for cold weather to
freeze over the lake, Ice fishing
was, then the means of bringing
in a few extra dollars to the home
to tide them over the winter mon-
ths.
Gill nets and trout hooks were
set out in chosen spots on the
lake and every morning you could
see the fishermen on the spot,
anxiously awaiting their luck.
There was much to be done
before all was in readiness for
winter fishing. Most of the people
hooked their own nets; they
bought their own thread and oth-
er material to put their nets to-
gether, and then they would start
work in early fall. After their
farm work was done all the family
would take a hand in knitting
nets; at night they would huddle
close together beside a dim light,
known as a Cabesh. Perhaps you
would be interested to know what
a Cabesh is; it is a piece of wool-
len goods saturated in fat, then
placed in a vessel and lighted.
When well made it would show
light for hours.
Women folk were the fastest in
net work, and when the young
girls were not at a neighbouring
house dance, or
a date in their
home, they took part in the work
too, and became quite artful.
A set of nets meant about four
or five. It did not take long to
make one. Fish were plentiful in
those days and sometimes it was
hard for the fishermen to dispose
of their large hauls. There were
no shipping quarters in those days.

News
(By Pat O'Brien, A.S.M.)
The Lone Patrol
A Lone Patrol—of course they-
're haying fun, why shouldn't
they? • They're a Patrol—a small
group of Scouts, grown into a
strong gang with real fellowship.
They have Teamed what fun it
is to go hiking and camping with
your best pals; to build your own
fire, and cook your own food—to
swim, to dive, to paddle a canoe—
to live your life according to the
Scout Code—to sit around a
glowing camp fire and sing, and
laugh, and listen, while someone
tells a story that will make your
hair curl.
The Scout Patrol is the swellest
boy's gang in all the world. The
Patrol is the unit that really mak-
es scouting go. It is a group of
boys, usualy six to eight of them,
who pal together because they
like to do the same things. A
Patrol is a team with all the fel-
lows playing the game of Scout-
ing, all of them working towards
the same goal. "All for one, one
for all."
The main reason I have told
you about a Lone Patrol is that
with no Scout Master our troop
can not be run legally, and with
only five to eight boys attending
the meeting there is not much use
of having a troop meeting. But
with a Boy Scout Lone Patrol it
could be run with little or no
trouble at all, so all boys inter-
ested in forming a Lone Patrol,
be sure to come to the Boy Scout
meeting this week, Wednesday,
February 26.

They had to sell their fish to ped-
dlers and sometimes had to wait
a week or ten days for a sale. The
fish were stored in ice banks near
the shore until they had sale for
them.
