"Mother has packed a lunch for us," he would smile, "if you hurry up you can get some worms gathered by the time I get the ear out." We would go fishing. There was always this routine on the twenty- fourth of May. We somehow or other knew that eventhally we woald go fishing, but it caused a floster Int- certainty in our minds. I suppose we were always dreading the time when Father would be serious about it. The truth of the matter is, he enjoyed fish- ing just as much as we did, We never caught many fish but we always man- aged to light a fire and have lunch and come hotne exhausted aad happy with some minor members of the fish family, hanging on a forked WillOW That's why I went fishing this year, although I had a lot of work waiting to be done.

Boyle As a "boy I think the twenty-fourth of May ranked alongside of Christmas as being a favorite day. Christmas was the best of course but the twenty- fourth always came at the right mom- ent to give a relief from the day to day routine of attending school. When the day opened my father would always think up some work for us" to do around the farm. This made us highly indignant and we protested about the ttadition of Empire Day and how we were always allowed to go fishing. Father would then go into a long harangue about how slow the weather had been, and how much he really needed us to help him get caught up with the work around the place. Finally, after we had argued all the way through breakfast, he would throw up his hands in mock de- pair and say "All right . . . all right, you can go fishing and I'll Slave away here and see if I can get a little of the work done."
