Mark Shut in’s Day
This Coning Sunday
Shut-in’s Day, an international
set aside to encourage remembrance
of the sick and disabled, will be cele
brated this Sunday, June 6th. The
day is sponsored by the Shut-In's Day
Association . “International”, founded
in 1942, Rev, Arthur J, McKaye, a
United Church minister in Goderich,
who died last November, assisted
greatly in the formation of the as
sociation, but the plan actually was
founded in the mind of Ernest Barker
of the same time, who has been an
invalid for many years, Mr, Barker,
who was confined to his bed as a
young man, conceived the idea and
worked incessantly to develop the
plan. He is now secretary of the in
ternational organization.
No one is backing the S.I.D.A. fin
ancially, and none of its officers re
ceives any financial remuneration for
his or her services. The continuance
of this work depends entirely on the
generosity of its friends.
Those who are interested in the
work of the association may become
associate members by paying a fee
of $1.00 per year. No obligation is in
curred. Contributions should be made
to the Shut-In’s Day Association, Box
474, Goderich, Ontario.

Reading about writer Ernest Hem
ingway the other day, we were inter
ested to learn that amongst other
things, Hemingway was a great ad
venturer in food. He liked to try new
foods, and in his search for different
taste sensations, he didn’t seem to
mind trying the most outlandish
dishes. The article mentioned that he
had been known to eat worms, out
neglected to say whether he ever
went on a steady diet, or whether the
experiment was strictly a one-shot
affair.
One thing we do admire about Hem
ingway is his, nerve, and we've often
i wondered if his experience with worms
was suitably rewarding.
While we’ve never been particularly
interested in worms as a diet,' we must
admit there are other things which
might' make good eating, if one only
had the nerve. We never suspected
that raw oysters would be very palat
able until we were practically forced
into eating them, and the same could
be said for our experience with eels.
Surprisingly enough, eels are delic
ious and who knows what other
quaint and appetizing dishes are wait
ing to be discovered.
Nobody has ever been able to ex
plain to us why groundhogs shouldn't
ipake good eating. They’re clean ani
mals and they live off the best clover.
Compared with pigs we would imagine
they’d be a very good culinary bet.
Only we've never had the nerve to try.
Or take crawfish, the rivers around
Wingham are filled with these close
relatives of the lobster. In Europe
fresh water crawfish are considered
a delicacy, yet nobody bothers with
them here. Who knows but what the
meat may be as delicately flavored as
that of expensive and highly-touted
lobster or shrimp. Nobody will know
until they try.
We understand that in Europe the
flesh of the carp is highly prized, and
in some parts of Europe it is even
used as a Christmas delicacy, instead
of turkey. Suggest eating carp to the
average Canadian and he'll look at
you as if you were crazy. Yet the carp
in Canada came originally from Eur
ope and probably haven’t lost any of
their eating qualities en route.
Some of the most unprepossessing
animals undergo a sudden metamor
phosis when transplanted to the table,
and emerge as expensive specialties.
Somebody in Florida thought rattle
snakes might be tasty and made a luc
rative business of canning them for
people who have lots of money to
spend on food. Englishmen eat Snails
and appear to like them, and frogs’
legs fetch a fancy price on the mar
ket, even in Canada.
But to our mind the payoff in
strange foods was related in an article
in one of the outdoor magazines. Ac
cording to the writer, there is a brisk
market somewhere Or other for snapp
ing turtles, to be used in turtle soup
or some other such concoction. And,
according to this aticle, enterprising

TRIPS TO NORTH NOT
WITHOUT HAZARDS
To open the season up properly we
sneaked away for our first expedi
tion to the Ontario Northland over
the week-end of the 24th. Our des
tination this time was the famed wa
ters of Lake Nipissing and our ob
ject was a bagful of the pickerel and
pike which are supposed to infest the
lake.
Results were not actually a bagful
—we had to come home with four
of the former variety—but we did
have d lot of fun and a couple of de
licious meals since.
The north and west shores of Lake
Nipissing seem to offer the best fish
ing particularly if you rent a boat and
get yourself out to the rocky island
which lies about four or five miles
offshore. We made our headquarters
at the hamlet of Meadowside, between
North Bay and Sturgeon Falls, but
Verner, Lavigne and many other spots
are equally handy.
Chief observation about camping
facilities would be that they are got
ten, at least in the lodges we struck.
However, there may be many better
ones nearby and the fisherman who
is really serious overlooks a lot of
these hardships. However, we couldn't
help dreaming a bit about the possibil
ities there would be for a good opera
tor to develop attractive quarters in
that particular locality.,
Three days of fishing from a boat,
especially the first time out leaves
one more than a bit sunburned, and
to add to our own troubles we were
all but drowned by our fishing col
leagues.
It happened this way: During an
evening bout with the finny monsters
our own luck ran out. There wasn’t
a ropple on the surface and there
wasn’t a twitch on the line, so yours
truly gently Cased himself back on
the tiny foredeck of the boat and pro
ceeded to go to sleep. In the interval
Arn Lillow, of Bluevale snagged a
mighty pike and when he saw the
beast was headed straight for the
boat he just heaved on the line and
landed 35 inches of fighting fish in
the boat. Bob Wenger, perched
watchfully in the stern of the craft,
saw that the pike was likely to back
overboard and take friend Arnold
along so he took Qff in a flying tackle
to get hisj knees on the fish.
They did maintain their hold on
the captive alright, but in the process
they all but threw this boy into the
drink—which was very, very cold at
the time. Complete disillusionment
came when we realized later that the
two of them would have considered
my loss quite calmly in the light of
the catch they had secured.
We found out the next day that
Arn could have won a prize of $149.00
by simply taking himself and the
pike into Sturgeon Falls that evening,
where the Chamber of Commerce was
sponsoring a contest. The man who
won the ward did so with a mere 28-
incher. (By the way, we hope to have
a picture of Arn with his big one
by next week.)
If you are heading for North Bay
this summer we might offer you a
few tips. If possible,, take two driv
ers and do your -travelling at night.
The Great North Road up through
Barrie, Orillia, Gravenhurst and parti
cularly from Huntsville to North Bay
is fast becoming a motorists night
mare. On our own trip We left this
neck of the woods at 10 o’clock in
the evening and avoided the big day
time rush, We blade it in just a little
over six hours. Coming back we de
cided to avoid the holiday tush on the
main highway and swung around to
th'e west of Lake Nipissing to come
down through the French River coun
try and Barry Sound.
Our first grief
about 60 miles of
cidedly sour over
later we arrived
travel the one and only artery to the
south at that point and we found the
cars were bumper to bumper as far
as the eye could see. 'the Provincial;
Police told us they had been coming
through that way for eight hours, and
there certainly was no sign of a lets
tip, To make a long story longer, it
took two houts and ten minutes to
edge oUr way the 26 miles to Orillia.
Moral: Stay Cut of the North on holi
day week-ends.
However, this offering seems to
have developed into a beet session,
A publicity pamphlet, designed to
sell Huron County to prospective in
dustrialists, has been issued by the
Huron County Industrial Promotion
Board, The pamphlet will be distri-
buted at the International Trade Fair
at Toronto this week, and will be used
as an interim promotional piece while
a larger and more comprehensive
hooklet is being prepared.
The pamphlet is six and a half by
nine and three-quarter inches, folded
in three. On the front page is a map
Of Western Ontario, showing the lo
cation of the county, and the .inscrip
tion, “Bring your plant to Huron
County . , , where 46,000 progressive
people are waiting to
dustry expand.1
Inside it is a list of advantages in
Huron County from an industrial
standpoint. The pamphlet claims ex
cellent sites, adequate labor supply,
top transportation, modern services,
low equalized taxes and excellent re
creation as inducements to industry
looking for a place to settle. “Because
Huron County is not industrialized, it
provides a wonderful opportunity for
those firms which locate here now,”
the pamphlet continues. “The citizens
and officials are anxious to co-operate
with responsible enterprise . . . the re
latively small size of the communities
means that any industry will receive
considerable attention and assistance.
If you are considering construction
of a *new plant, investigate Huron
County “where 46,000 progressive
people are waiting to help your in
dustry expand”.
The pamphlet goes on to say that
Huron is Canada’s largest producer
of barley, cattle and poultry, and a
leading grower of swine, mixed grain,
oats, field seeds, beans, corn, turnips
and sugar beets. Farming statistics
for the county are given.
The back page lists the towns, vil
lages and townships in the county, to
gether with their industries, their as
sessment and the name of the munici
pal clerk. A list of the types of in
dustry in the county is also given.
The pamphlet points out that fur
ther information is available from the
Huron County Industrial Promotion
Board.
