THE
LUCKNOW SENTINEL, 'LUCKNOW, ONTARIO
DAY OF ALL . DAYS
There are Certain ancient and
honourable rituals in, oursociety.
which 'help to ti give our '; lives a
certain continuity: Many of
them are geared to ,the •seasons:
"spring cleaning; " summer.: 'flu;
the burning " . of leaves, getting
stoned out of °• your skull • on Now.
Year's Eve.
One, of the most sacred of
these, forsome of us, is Opening
Day of the trout season. '
Slap' of a beaver tail; chuckle
of running water; splatter of
wild duck taking off from :swamp
feel of the sun on face; mist of
green spreading ,through ,.bare.
bones of branches;, honest • stench
worm guts . on hands;, flavour at
noon of big bologna ''sandwich
with hot mustard; these are the
things which quickenthe senses,
cleanse--the--body : of—its--winter--
stupor, remind one. that\ 'God'. is
still in His heaven.
And these are some of the rea-
sons . I-, have:. never'. missed the
rite, whether • the . mortage is
1, due, or my wife 'is �;aving a' baby,
or. • I, have . a ' date , with Sophia
Loren. ; .
" 'And I hope .to do Iso until .tle
day when they have to carry me
to a quiet spot on the stream and
leave me there In my wheelchair,
to watch the black water • swirl
around the white rock, the : yel-
low :sun pick up the golden grav-.
el of the .stream -bottom.,
Each year the ritual is the
same. And each year it is differ-
ent. There is the year when . you
fall off a log in the • first three
minutes, and :squish and squelch
yourself through the rest .of the
day, a sodden. mess, wet 'fags,
wet matches, soaked sandwiches.
And there is the year when you
hit the • stream at the crack of
dawn, 'fishwith all your skill un-
til sunset, and come home with.
two ' speckled ; trout eight inches
11.1
long. • And there is the .year when.
you go • out at 7:30 a.m., justto
toss a line for : old -.times sake, and
have. caught . your limit before
work time• at 9 a.m,
And ;there's the year when your
bait -can:` falls from your, belt in-
to a torrent, and • you snap the
tip• off your.' rod, and put a hole
in your.. new waders, and get back
to the -car to find a ,flat .tire, and
get home to find your wife calling
the police, because it's four hours,
after sundown; .
But thisyear topped ahem all.
It . was complicated. Our high
school music director, with in-
credible lack • of foresight, had
scheduled an 'exchange concert,
with a city school, for that very
day. Fine. ' But it turned out we.
had to have some of the visiting
youngsters . for dinner. ' Asmy.:
wife it away every Saturday; for
music lessons with the kids, .. this
meant 1 was cook.
Normally, I'd have 'welcomed
a chance to display my culinary
skill. In fact, . 'I. had ; the menu
planned. ' Beef stew simmered in
beer,followed by a sour cream
souffle, ` roast chestnuts and pep-
permint lifesavers as dessert.
Then I realized it; was : Opening
Day.
I' was aha

good host but danged if 1 was

L's your stand. on life insurance
zng for a, college education?
Mrs. Powell
I've never connected the two
life insurrar ;e and college,'I
mean:
Interviewer
Thousands of Canadian/parents
have provided' college educa-
tions for their children this way
through The Mutual Life.
Mrs Powell'
Some kind of special insurance
policy? I still don't see how.
Interviewer
A policy purchased when your
child is young guarantees that
—come what may—the money:
will be available when 'it is
needed.
Mrs. Powell
You really should be talking to
my husband about this: Where
could he find out all about it?

With six year's experience, Donald Morris says:

perfect weed control!

"Atrazine is 'the greatest advance in corn. culture
we've ever had," that's how Donald Morris,
Merlin; • Ontario, sums ' up six years experience
with Atrazine. 'Mr; Morris was an early pioneer of
this new weed -free method of growing corn.
"I treated a' neighbour's cornfield that hadn't
been: cropped for years. It. was thick with weeds of
every description. I said to myself -,'this *Ube a
real 'test for : Atrazine' -rand it surely was.' We
sprayed;when the weeds were about an inch high...
the weeds were coming up' by the millions:' After
spraying, the weeds just disappeared. At harvest
. time the corn wasabsolutely clean," Mr. Morris
-states. Ask your dealer for ,descriptive literature
.: about "Atrazine 65W and don't • forget to:,get your
•
sprayer ready'on'time.. • .

Then it struck:' me. ;`Why not give
these •city. kids, : pampered'' for
y arson steaks - and chicken,;
real north -country' dinner "- spec-
kled trout, lovingly fried 'in but-
ter? . They'd never forget it.
They'dnever forget: it.
With a 'light -heart, hit for the
trout.. stream on ' Opening Day.
Everything was perfect. It was a
fine day, and I knew there were
at least 47 big speckles in there,
justwaiting to hit that butter.
Got 'home at 4:30 ,p.m. with two
six-inch chub and a 14 -inch suck-
er. Went. to the fish market. • They
had nothing but some fairly large
whitefish, which somehow didn't
look like speckled .trout. Called
all my friends. They had either
been skunked, like me, or. stated
flatly,' "The hell with you, Smiley;.
we're putting on a big speckled.
trout ..dinner .;for ;,those :;visiting
musicians; feeding four. 'of them."
Bought two ' pounds of ' hamburg.
You '.know, there are . times
when my . ' love for' • my wife. ;'is
overwhelming. When I arrived at
the house at; 5:30, she was gril-
ling steaks in the oven.
