ONTARIO YON.RT:6N L * MINISTER PUBLICITY Teddiri' kwn farsighted as Mrs. Robinson in 'S'wiss+ Family Robinson?, but I did put a roll of snare wire in my coat pocket. Just •a minute!" With sure hande Colin formed a loop and taking care that his sha- dow did not fall upon the water above the fish, with infinite pains he lowered the wire into the stream. "We'll take one of these outside fellows," he muttered to Nels, who leaned over watching and holding his breath. The loop was over the head of the fish. "Just back of the gills is what does It." With a snap of the wrist, 'just like chain lightning' as Nels said admiringly, the sucker was lying on the bank; his fellows in com- plete ignorance of the fate that bad befallen him and that was hovering over themselves. Four times more Colin slipped the snare over the head, behind the gills, snap, and out. "Granddad," whispered Nola. "Let me try --please!" "Of course, lad. Here you are." But Nets was too anxious. He wanted to make sure, and the snare tightened on the sucker about the middle. Nels yanked for all that he was worth, but the fish gave a tremendous flop as it felt the wire, and by the time Nels bad it on the bank its startled compan- ions were well on their way back to the lakes. "Gosh!" said Nels, "I got him but I'm sure not as slick as you are, Granddad." "Never mind, you'll learn. And half a dozen is plenty. Never take more than you can use or give, away. It's the first law of sports- manship." They broke off a willow branch and strung the fish .on it. "I wonder whose farm this is," puzzled Colin, as they walked across a pasture field towards the orchard. The chimneys of a house showed 'behind the trees and there was smoke coming from one of them. "If I were going along the road I would know whose place it is because we are not that far from home. But if you ever want to get completely turned around within a mile of home, just gaze at the rear view of your neighbor's house. The rear view of your neighbor himself wouldn't fool you nearly as bad- ly." They went through a gate into the barnyard and were half way to the house when a voioe behind them said: • "Well, for gosh sakes, Mr. Mc- Kenzie, what are you doing here?" Nels and Colin turned and look- ed at the smiling man standing with a pail of feed in each hand. "Pete!" exclaimed Colin. "Pete Armstrong! Is this your place?" "Well .now," said Pete, "and whose place did you think it was? Had you heard that I had moved?" "No, no," said. Colin. "It's just that we came at you from behind and you looked different. This is my grandson, Nels Kelson. You know Sigmund Kelson at Brig End Mills, married to my daughter, Janet. His boy. And we are on a tramping trip, and wondered how chances were for getting supper here, a.nd the privilege of sleeping on your river bank." "The place is yours," said Pete, heartily. "If you remember, it dans near was yours during the real hard times a while back! If ever you want a good fellow to hold your mortgage, Nels, get your grandfather here. He's one in a million. And he didn't even know the farm when he came to it!

The pageant shoWe James R. Scott Speaks to South Huron Teachers James R. Scott, Seaforth, was guest speaker at the annual meet- ing of the South Huron Association of Women Teachers' Federation on. Wednesday, June 2. Mr. Scott, who has been commissioned to write the history of Huron County, outlined the work of three men, Galt, Dunr lop and Van Egmond, who were responsible for opening up the Hur- on Tract to settlement, In closing, Mr. Scott appealed to the teachers to continue - certainly - to teach reading and spelling, but to try al- so to develop in their students some of the sturdiness and ability to think for themselves that char- acterized the pioneers. The talk was enthusiastically re- ceived by the 35 members present at the meeting, which opened with a dinner at the Dominion Hotel, Zurich. During the business ses- sion, Mrs. D. Innsley, Exeter, re- tiring president, received reports of the year's work from the four units of the Association-4Goderieh, Clinton, Hensall and Exeter. Miss Luella Johnston and Miss Winnie Gray, both of the Clinton P.S. staff, were elected to the posi- tions of president and secretary - treasurer, respectively, for the next two-year term.

As for sleeping on the river bank, it's the spare bed and the hemstitched sheets for you, if I know my wife." "I know you mean well. Pete," explained Colin. "But Nels and I have made special rules regarding this trip. We are not to sleep in a house if we can help it. We have sleeping bags with us and we are only going to sleep under cover if it rains." Pete shook his head, bewildered. "1 know you aren't crazy, even if you act like it, But we can give you some supper anyway. Letty!" Mrs. Armstrong came to the kit- chen door and stood with two small children peering out at the visitors from behind her skirts. Her face lit up at the sight of Colin. "Come in, Mr. McKenzie. We haven't seen you for ages' You're' just in time for supper." "We brought an offering, Mrs. Armstrong. Half a dozen suckers. We caught them on your own prop- erty, so you don't need to feel backward about accepting them. The water is still so cool that they are as firm as can be. Nels and I will scale and clean them right away." Colin and Nels went to work on the fish on a board near the pump, one of the shy children bringing them the dishpan and pumping it full of water to receive the fish. Nels scaled While Colin cleaned, and every fish was so full of eggs that Nets and the children marvel- led. When they were finished. Nels had scales in his hair and in his eyebrows, and he wasn't quite as anxious for a feed of fish as he had been. As they worked. Col- in told Nejs and the children about the different kinds of fish he had caught in his young days -the rain- bow trut, than which there was nothing prettier ran or swam or flew; the shad that seemed to have caught some of the sunrise or sun- set in their scales; the black bass -the gamest fighter of then all. "If you ever. °ate one of those trout," said Colin longlingly, "you'd think these suckers were only fit for the cat." When the fish had been salted and delivered to Mrs. Armstrong and the waiting frying pan, Nels and Colin washed on a bench by the side of the house and combed their hair by the reflection from the kitchen window. Mrs.- Arm- strong apologized because there was no pie or cake in the house. but Colin held up his hand. "Mrs. Armstrong," he inquired, solemnly, "have you any of that jelly you used to make -elderberry and snow apple, I think it was?" Mrs. Armstrong looked gratified. "Why, yes, Mr. McKenzie, I still have a few jars. Shall I open one?" "If you want to live in a boy's and an old man's memory forever more, you will. And doyou re- member what you used to serve with that jelly?" Mrs. Armstrong nodded. "Buttermilk biscuits! .I can bake them while the fish are frying. Come away in and listen to the radio until supper is ready. - IV It was getting dusk when the Pilgrims took up their sleeping bags and went outside into the warm spring night. Colin had fin- ally convinced Mrs. Armstrong that her spare bed and monogrammed trousseau sheets were not •for them. Pete Armstrong and the children had. gathered some brushwood from the nearby orchard and some dry tinder -like twigs from the tall Lom- bardy poplars that surrounded the Armstrong homestead. Pete donat- ed a few sticks of maple firewood from the woodshed and for an hour and more the Armstrongs and the Pilgrims sat around the crackling fire, while the -"Nature that never did betray the heart that loved her" -got in her good work, even on careworn Mrs. Armstrong. She sat on an old quilt with bafby Elaine in her arms, and the flickering fire- light showed only the large intelli- gent eyes, the broad brow and, good-tempered miouth.The lines of strain and worry were miraculous- ly concealed in the semi -darkness. Looking at them. from his corner of the shadows, Colin thought: "I should have helped these good peo- ple more. They've had a grim time of it. Just letting them take their time with their interest wasn't en- ough."
