THE TA -LE OF TWO FISHING MEN Theyear was nineteen forty-seven, ' The .month was May, the angler's Heaven, Two fishing men, I know them well, Each ote £1, bad to tell. They asked me would I be -the Judge, As neither one of them would budge, I :said I'll do the best T can And weigh the stories man to man.: . And noav the first fo tell his tale, A barber chap,- his name Lorne Dale, The other man was Charlie Sills, A noted angler, used to thrills. Lorne said he caught a speckled trout, Tim hook securely through its snout. Then tip, a yank, that bent the hook, And it was bake safe 01 the brook, I never did feel quite so low, AswhenI saw that beauty RV, T'Ve fished and caught some big ones too. Hoy, this was tops, I'm tolling you, Said Charlie: tonne, you had a dream, I know that hole, I know that stream, :Lives just a big mud turtle, lad, And that is what made Lone so mad. I saw hi:n there not tong' ago, And hooked him 'too, but let trim go. The setting- son got in your eyes, Its fooled a lot of fishing .guys, I think I lean a bit towards Lorne, I've fished since ever I was born And when o big one gets away Well,. I'm not saying what we tar, There still 11143 turtles, still some trouts. Don't let this get you on the outs. We'll have our jokes, we'll fish again, That is the way with sporting men, ST.

Brown: A full week of fine weather has given the farmers a good chance to getcaughtup with seeding opera- tions, and many acres of corn and beans have been sown during the last 'week. The Junior Farmer Live Stock Judging Competition, held in Exe- ter last Wednesday, was a definite success, considering that many of the boys were home making use of the excellent weather. One point of interest was the fact that the high Township team was composed of three boys with. no previous judging experience, except that which they gathered' while in attendance at the Agricultural Short Course,. held in Exeter last January. The' Junior Farmers from all three Clubs, Exeter, Clinton and Blyth will be going to Guelph on Friday, June 27th, to participate in the.
