NEWS ITEMS
BV0),7, 5114() ,4040 Was Swallow,
ed by a whale we have had fish
stories; The Leeli Ness Munslw
being the most publicized. The
Maitland river has had some 'kind
of a sea serpent for two centurnes.
Old man $herdan was one of the
first to see it when he was mayar
of Sunshine and head of the anti-
vice squad. He thought it was ono
of Love's calveS that had been
drowned in the August f1:10d.
Other,s thought it was a crocodile,
some just a huge log and so the
tall tales grew. and growed, The
truth is, it was a huge liOrthern
pike whom ' we called Lenbell,
after Len Lamont and 13id
These two gents are in, no way
connected with the story except ,
Fishermen are all 'liars and with
the exception of Al Logan these
two are the greatest,
One Sunday morning, the 7th
of June to he exact, two of our
Prominent citizens; instead of
grabbing a prayer book grabbed
fishing Dole, got in their dory
and started west on the polluted
waters of the Maitlana jOhn
Clark and John McWhirter. Now
when I want a favour done
John Clark is a first cousin but
when we meet in high society
well; he's just a distant relative.
One thing we have in common is
we are both musically inclined, Of
course Jack jUst plays the lowest
of the loW class music on a mouth
organ while I, the Ring of all
high class music, on the violin.
When John gets on top of a roof
he can make Turkey in the Straw
sound like the Blue Danube
When. the two gents got in the
boat Clark handed the oars to Mc-
Whirter and reached for the
mouth Gl'e'an and started that
,great old sea song, row, row, TOW.
A more appropriate number would
have been, pull for the shore sin-
ner, pull for the shore. Lenbell
Who had been 'lurking around the
Somerville slides came out to
listen and made the biggest mis-
self. r have lived through two
eartbetnakes) land Slides, the dark
day and saw three bridges in a
row, in one night, washed away,
Piave tig toyed and laughed at
the best fishermen int the land,
nOW I will go clown in history as
the biggest sticker that ever sWatti,.
Woe is to think, T was cap-
tured by an ordinary dumb mud
turtle trapper and another sissy
who isn't Man enough to take his
liquor straight but has to mix it
with cream puffs and' Milk shak-
es. It shouldn't have happened to
a. carp or even a pollywOg.
Well, the gents got, the fish home
hung it head tip and tied a bag
of coinont to its tail to make it
stretch, Then they crainnied the
poor thing's Belly with bnek shoi,
ro1i i+ bOaritg, tiOs, bdlts and. a
couple of 0)1(1 plow shares and got.
Hi Rutledge to , weigh it. For two .
days they blew and they puffed
about that fish until Torn 'Clarniss
was sick and tired of listening 50
he decided to show the bOy$ that
when it came to fishing they were
:lust a pair of pikers, He locked
the shop so tight even Bill Cardiff
couldn't get in, gassed the car and
headed for Thunder Bay. He ar,
rived home with a fish that could
have swallowed Lenbell alive and
whole and never put a bulge in
its belly. Nov if this bad been Ike
Rann, Doe Stevenson, George
Davidson and quite a few others,
We would :have thought, and
rightly so, that he had bought it,
This cOtidn't ,happen with Tom
cause he was born on the 3rd
line where deceit is unknown and
the first lie is still untold. It is a
we'll known fact that George
Washington was born in .a wig-
wam on the Calvin Campbell
place. Tr Tom could have sold
this monster and, got 1j of what
they eharge at Thompson and
Stephenson butcher shop it would
have paid for his gas, his Meals
rooms and champagne with en-
ough left over for a. new snit of
clothes.
When I was in the Maritimes
was quite a fisherman. but. that
is another story so will just
say so long for now.
