Former Seaforth Man's Trip Interrupted By Earthquake • An ex-Seaforth man who arrived! in Stratford from Sacramento, 'Cali-, fornia, Thursday morning last, told how his journey in a Western 'Paci- fic train was 'held up for almost six hours because of. a landslide and tunnel cave-in, resulting from the recent series of earthquakes. Andrew Wallace, who had not been to Seaforth since 1920, said that 'he and his daughter, Winni- fred, were asleep at home when' the first tremors s:hook the house about 5.00 o'clock Monday morning two weeks ago. In relating 'his story Mr. Wallace1 said, "All I felt was a rumble. I couldn't make outwhat it was at first." He said' that •his daughter was asleep and the tremor shook her bed, Sacramento is over 400 miles away from the quake's core at Tehachapi, Cal., but the tremor was powerful enough to shake 'Mr. Wallace's home slightly and -put a few pictures out of line. . Train Halted The landslide and tunnel cave-in occurred, be said, between Glen- wood Canyon and Denver, Col, The train was held up there from about 3:00 p:m. until after 8:00 p.m, He said that the train was also held up at Winnemucca, Nevada, where the tracks ahead of the train were upheaved. The • train was transferred to the Southern Pa cific's line in order to continue the trip. Winnemucca is about 430 milers northeast of Sacramento. "We had bad' luck right from the start," said Mr. Wallace. He said' the railmen blamed 'the landslide on the quake. According to a rum- or heard by Mr. Wallace, a wo- men's prison:, near Tehachapi, was, almost completely destroyed. "But,;' he added, "I don't know how true that is." Mr. Wallace continued: "I was in Sacramento in 1906 when the big 'Frisco quake occurred. At that time the pictures on the wall fell off, and the entire house vibrated violently. It was much worse than this present one." 'Holidaying At Seaforth Mr. V lla.ce, holidaying at Sea - forth, made the trip alone and plans to stay at the home of his brother and sister, S. S. Wallace and Miss Agnes Wallace, .Seaforth. He said that he would stay here and "boar' for two or three months. Before Mr. Wallace caught his Seaforth-bound train from the Stratford depot, he was asked, "What about the starling problem in Sacramento?" I -Ie thought for a moment and replied: "We just let them multiply.'•We're favorable to birds down there — poor little things — even- though they do eat all the digs off my 'fig trees." He said that starlings eat figs, cher- ries and grapes, in that order of taste. "But," he asked, as a parting shot, "where do all house flies come from? We have no flies or mosquitoes in Sacramento. "The City sprays all breeding places and this practice keeps the bug popula- tion down to a minimum." No Fish Tales These! There're Yet To Be Caught in Ont. Water There are big fish still to be caught in Ontario, home of lake - lands and angling pleasure, accord- ing to Dept'irtment. of Lands and Forests fish management officers, That is, of course, if you're lucky! In October, 1951, a 9 lb. 2 oz. sma.11month bass was netted by hatchery personnel operating in McCauley Lake. This exceeded the weight of the record bass tak- en in Pigeon Lake In 1930 which was 13 lbs. 4 oz. Only difference is . the bass netted by the Depart- anent's men is probably still swim- ming around waiting for some for- tunate angler to catch it and along with 'it., perhaps, a world's record, Try These For Size And somewhere between the Muskoka Lakes and 'Georgian Bay there is a 23 lb. 9 oz. wall-eye or yellow pickerel . at least, that was its weight in May, 1954, when it was takenduring spawning op- erations in Georgian Bay at the mouth of the Moon River. This monster fish measured 42 inches in length and had a girth of 27 inch- es. A female, the spawn takers stripped it of eggs (probably from 75 to 85 thousand) and released it unharmed in the waters of the Moon; another world's record fish awaiting some lucky angler. The previous and still angling record for pickerel was a 22 lb. 4 oz. lunk- er taken in 1943 from the 'Niagara River off Fort Erie. On the other hand, the next world's record pickerel may be tak- en from the Winnipeg River. There in 1950, Kenora hatchery men weighed in two .huge wall-eyes. One tipped the scales at seventeen pounds and the other was ',just a pound lighter. They were both re- turned to the water. World's Record Trout It is well known, of course, that the Nipigon River breeds Iarge' speckled trout. in 1915, in fact, yielded the world's record for this species, a' giant among trout weigh- ing 14 tbs. 8 ozs. No such whop- per has been hooked there since, but good catches of "speckles" have been reported each year from the area, among which ten -pounders have not been uncommon. .Maskinonge spawning operations this spring were carried out in sew eral new locations. No record fish were noted, but dozens of these great fighters ranging from 36 to 40 inches were consistently netted, and released. The restaurant was crowded and the waiter frowned as he stopped at a table. "Wassamatter?" "I think there's a fly in my soup." "Well, make up your mind. I haven't any time for rumors." STAFFA Announcement Mr. and Mrs. Darrell Parker, Staffa, wish to announce the en- gagement of their eldest daughter, Thelma Irene Elizabeth, to ,Mr. Dennis Joseph Hayman, Detroit, eldest son of Mr. Joseph Hayman, of Kingsbury, London, England, and the late Mrs. Hayman.
