SMELTS SOON?? (Cont.) for size. He's a slender, silvery fellow with minute, loose scales, a sharply formed tail and a mouthful of tiny, sharp teeth. He looks something like a cisco or lake herring except for the larger mouth armed with the teeth, Maximum size is about 1, inches and weight around eight ounces. Some ardent smelters claim, by the way, that the little fish smell like cucumbers, ' The flesh has a fine flavour but a hearty meal requires a lot of smelt. Some of the rangers of the Department of Lands and Forests claim that one should cook 65 fish for each hungry person, That may be an exagger-- ation, but it is a fact that the average diner can dispose of a dozen smelt without much effort, 0-0-0 SOFTBALL ASSOCIATION ANNUAL MEETING MARCH 30TH _ The annual meeting of the Terrace Bay Amateur Softball Asseciation will be held on Wednesday, March 30th, at 7:00 pem., in the small meeting room ~ at the Recreation Centre, All those interested in seftball are urged to attend.
