The Seaforth News, 1955-06-23, Page 3t tart SPORTS COLUMN Egcrstea 9citccedow o Two days of every year, the fishing hamlet of Rossport, Ont., on the shores of Lake Superior, is turned into a teem- ing settlement, From many parts of Canada and the United States come hun- dreds of keen fishing folk, with rods, lines and myriad forms of lure, to take part in, or witness the annual Rossport Fish Derby, rated the richest lake trout derby in Canada, set this year for July 24 Saturday morning, the fishing enthusiasts begin arriving and by Saturday night close to 4,000 are roaming the one main thoroughfare of Rossport. Sunday, the remainder of the 6,000 enthusiasts come in by car, truck or boat. Tent cities form along the highway and lake shore and some even camp in their cars. Hotels and motels are booked to capacity for the annual fishing classic months before the actual happening. Sunday morning there will be hundreds of boats of various shapes and sizes ranging from the poor man's punt to the rich man's private yacht Some boats will be lined up at the point, one-quarter of a mile from the dock, one hour before the whistle blows to start the fishing folk on their eager trail. Rich prizes await the winner, but we doubt if the prizes are as great a magnet as the chance to do battle with a fight- ing lake trout that ]nay range up to 30 pounds or so in weight. For this is a real sporting event, where a fisherman's dream may come true,. where expert or novice, amateur or veteran can fulfill a wish of winning an angler's prize. This is one of Canada's major fishing events. In fact, It has become a national sporting event, patronized by fishing enthusiasts throughout Northwestern Ontario and from distant parts. Rossport is not only famous for its big and sporting lake trout, it- is the mecca of the Rossport fishing industry( where the quiet charm of inlet and island provides a setting''gf-Dn- surpassed grandeur for a restful rendezvous. An all-round Port Arthur athlete who starred in lakeheed hockey and baseball, Weikko Koivisto, brought in the prize- winning lake trout at the 17th annual last year, with approxi- mately 2,870 fishermen participating, His catch weighed 15 pounds, three ounces. Fishermen's luck figured his triumph. Weikko caught the winner about two minutes after a fishing rod had been put in his hands by another contestant, who said he didn't think the fish were biting well, and he'd had enough for a while. Weikko won a trip to Florida, and a trip to Bermuda went to a couple who only recently had been blessed with even better fortune in the form of a pair of bouncing twins.

Calvert DISTILLERS LIMITED AMHERSTBURG, ONTARIO s me Dreams That Really Came True The world of slumberland, girls and handsome men, of startling adventure and nerve - shaking horror ... the Iand of your dreams, shocking and most deeply personal world of all . is coming under the probing spotlight of science. The experts who head the in- vestigation are the husband - and -wife team of Drs. Joseph and Louis Rhine, of Duke Uni- versity, North Carolina, Over the past twenty years they have already established new fron- tiers into the unknown in their investigation of telepathy. They conducted the amazing tests with 10,000 packs of picture cards that brought a surprise ending—the discovery that the mind-reader was "reacting" not the card being telepathetically "shown" to him but the card next in the pack, the card un- known to both the telepathic "transmitter" and "receiver." Instead of telepathy, in fact, here was evidence of a sixth tense—and researchists hi every part of the globe are now un- dertaking tests in what they nowadays call ESP, extrasen- sory perception. Now the Rhines are moving on, exploring a further new ter- ritory in th e uncharted and mysterious hinterland. This time, they're mapping the space -trav- el that goes on in your sleep! A schoolboy in bed in Hert- fordshire dreamed that his home in Bruges was blazing fiercely. He was so alarmed by the dream that the head -master wrote to his mother. The house• had in fact been burned down. A woman in Florida awoke sobbing uncontrollably because she had dreamed that her son had died in a blazing 'plane. Trying to be sensible, she re- minded herself that her son was not in the Air Force and a cheerful letter arrived the next day, announcing that he expect- ed to be home soon on leave. Within, five nights, however, the woman dreamed the 'same dream again. She was so dis- traught that her doctor made arrangements for her to be ex - NO DUMMY SHE—This window "manri,quin" in a store window had scads of pedestrians doing a dowhie-take. They'd look at the "dummy" for several minutes, admiring its lifelike appear- ance.. Then the "dummy" would move. The bathing suit model is actually Carc'e Nielson, a finalist In the Miss San Francisco contest. She got a big kick out of relclining with complete im- mobility and then suddenly corning to "life."

But before this cduld oeciir, a telegram arrived. Her boy had been sent home from the Far East in -a 'plane which had crashed in flames on the night of her first experience. In their laboratory the re- searching Rhines have now as- sembled more than 4,000 au- thenticated cases of clairvoyant dreams, dreams that come start- lingly true and seem to make space and time travel as simple as shopping. Glance through some of these case histories at random, and they'll set you pondering. A girl dreamed of her boy friend when he was on the other side of the Atlantic and recalled next morn- ing that in her dream his hair had turned completely white. "That's funny," he wrote back. "So it has! I couldn't bring my- self to tell yon. How did you know?" Three times in a night a Win- chester woman dreamed that her little girl had been killed in a road accident. The whole ghast- ly sequenece came true in grim reality the following day. Four airmen who baled out of a crippled 'plane came down near a cottage and found a high tea awaiting them. "I dreamed about it," said the little woman who opened the door. "I've been expecting you!" How? Why? What extraordin- .' airy explanation underlies this true -dreaming faculty, the sixth sense of sleep? By no means every such dream seems to look ahead to tragic events. The wife of a former Bishop of Hereford dreamed that she entered her dining -room aft e r morning prayers and found an enormous pig at the table. The dream came true the very next day. The pig had escaped from its sty during prayers. Movie -star Cary Grant once dreamed he was in a huge place crowded with people, when sud- denly a girl took his hand, one Of the loveliest women he had ever seen. Two weeks later, at a Hollywood first night, an actress stumbled and seized Cary's hand to stop herself falling. She was the girl of his dreams. Perhaps the incident should have led to romance, to round off the story. In fact, they met and parted as strangers. Simi- larly, a truly nightmarish dream prevented a processional disaster just before the coronation of Icing Edward VII. The then Duke of Portland, Master of the Horse, dreamed that the crown on top of the state coach became wedged un- derneath the Horse Guards arch. He was so disturbed by the dream that he had both coach and and arch measured. Sure enough, the, arch was -found to be nearly two feet too low, the level of the road having been gradually raised in preceding years. Then there was the startling case of crippled Fred Shenton, who awoke in sudden fear one night in his little house on Can- vey Island. "The sea is coming in!" The cried. "The island's flooded. George is outside in a little boat. .. " His `wife scrambled out of bed and dashed to the window. But outside all was dry and normal. It was precisely a year later that the hungry sea swept over Can- vey and -the Shentons found their son-in-law coming to res- cue them with a little boat just at Fred Shenton had dreamed. Maybe you dream that wild animals are roaming free, like another Essex man who dream- ed that a tiger was loose. Three nights later an escaped circus tiger was actually captured in his back garden. Now research will follow the line established by mathemati- cian . W. Dunne in his classic book, "An Experiment with Time," with its record of dreams written down shortly after waking, which duly came true. There was his prevision of a train wreck north of the Firth of Forth Bridge, the shattered - cars lying on the golf links. In his dream he noticed the sharp contrast between the car- nage and the fresh green grass of spring. Next spring the Fly- ing Scotsman jumped the tracks a few miles beyond the bridge and fell on to the golf links just as he had forseen. The date was April 14th, 1914 - Less familiar is the instance experienced by Maitre Duvelle, the French lawyer, when he dreamed during an afternoon nap of being aboard a ship that struck an iceberg. He wrote a letter describing the dream and the name of the liner, which he recollected as the Gigantic. Was it a coincidence that, with- in a few hours of his dream, the great Titanic disaster occurred? How can you explain the clas- sic of all warning dreams, the nightmare that shook the then Prime Minister of England, Sponsor Perceval, one night in 1812? He came down to break- fast to tell of his dream that, while passing through the lob- by of the House of Commons, he had been confronted by a man in a green coat and brass but- tons, who fired a pistol at him and killed him. His friends tried to dissuade him from going to the Commons that day. Their persuasions would no doubt have been even more forcible had they known that, on the same night, a Cor- nishman in Redruth had dream- ed another version of the same dream. Mr. Williams, of Red- ruth, did not know what the Prime Minister looked like. But he had dreamed that a man in a green coat had shot and killed an important Parliamentary fi- gure in the lobby of the House of Commons. Perceval insisted on going to the House as usual. In the lob- by he was shot by a maniac dressed in a green coat with brass buttons! Who's Top Catcher —Yogi or Car gni? Charley Dressen wi11 talk baseball as long as he has an audience, but he refuses to be coaxed into picking between Yogi Berra and Roy Campanel- la, the game's two leading catch- ers. Charley managed the Dodgers and "Campy" from 1949 through 1951 and coached with the Yan- kees in '46 and '47, so he has had opportunities to study both men at close range. "It's hard to separate them," said the manager of the Wash- ington Senators. "Right now I'd take either one of them for my ball club. "Berra, in spite of what you sometimes hear, is a smart cookie and good handler of pitchers. The same goes for Campanella. Roy is the best low ball catcher I've ever seen, even though he sometimes blocks the ball instead of catching it. The point i4 it doesn't get by hili. "Yoga; at times, has been a little weak on pop flies," Dres- ser went on. "But,he does every- thing else well and has a great arm. He can fire the ball to any base. And they both have power at bat. The. Dodgers couldn't win the pennant without Campy and the Yankees wouldn't have a chance without Berra. They're the difference."
