We can learn the habit of tvsentment. the habit of gellang way with cheat- ing, with playing; a dirty game. having no regard for the good character of the opposing team. and many other habits which car- ry over into everyday life and make home, school, neighborhood and community all the poorer and much less enjoyable for us all. But we can learn good things too. Take a basketball game. for example. They learn, if the coaching and the management is good and of good character, to play by the rules of the game and to make themselves more and more proficient in that respect so that rules become u help rather than a detriment to smooth play. They learn the value of diet and rest, to be good Imsts and good guests, how to be gracious when winning and to take defeat in their stride. and, in fact, many other attitudes almost too numer- ous to mention.

It has become so much a habit with us to tie on a badger, that we just automatically pull one out ot the tty book. Trout are 6ckle critters no mat- ter how much you know about them, and we crawled back to the car for our dinner with only two ot them tor the ice box. After we had punished a number of sand- wiches and had a nap, on decid- ed we should do some exploring tor new water: he had heard about. We did the exploring-we even found some of the water. but the trout were conspicuous by their absence. 7 _ Back again on the old stream,] we decided to travel down it for a ways and try some of the sec- tions we had so far neglected. This proved to be a good move and we picked up a couple more nice fish.

I had fished this stretch in other years, but it was the first time I had dropped a fty on it this year. Exactly nothing happened and the badger came darting back without being molested. A dozen casts later, the same thing had happened. . ' * "_""""-' Going on down the stream for a short distance, I found that ev- ery rip was full of small trout. Evidently the stream had been stocked and the trout were all ganged up in this one section. Not wanting to harm too many of the little fellows, I picked up my last cast and walked back to- wards the car. Stopping to look at the long rapids again, I decid- ed to throw a couple more casts over it. The first cast a trout that looked as long as my arm curved out of the water and hung for a moment over the fly. I struck as he came down and felt the hook bite in-but only for a second- wthen the line went slack. Returning again to the car, I told on about the fish and felt I was being very conservative when I mentioned 14 inches. Ott looked just a trifle skeptical. but when I tied on a long tapered lea- der and a No. 14 dry Mashigammi, he walked down and leaned over the bridge to w_atch. . .. ' The little tty floated like a cork. On the first two casts nothing happened at all. -Moving down to the lower end of the pool, I rose two small brook trout which I re- fused to strike when they took th tly. Luckily neither of them hooked themselves. From the bottom end of the pool I gradual- ly lengthened my cast until I was able to drop the fly back over where the big trout had risen. This time he took without any hesitation, .and the fun was on. He first got under a log which was in the same pool, but I man- aged to get below him and got the leader from around the log. Then he started up stream. I put a good bow in the little Heddon road I was using-and followed. Bucking the fast water, he tin- ally steamed up into a long quiet section of water. and I started to feel a lot safer. l yelled up to Ott to beat it back to car and fetch the net-which he did--on the double. He claimer after he had never done a hundred yards in nothin§ ttat before. The trout still had a ot of Ie', left in him but the little bam 0 had taken the keen edge off his strength. A few minutes later, we were admiring him as he sagged in the meshes of the net. __ "By golly, that was really some- thing," on said with a big grin all over his face. "Here", he said pas_sing me his emanate? "Have a decent smoke and calm your nerves-you shouldn't have to smoke those weeds you burn after catching a fish like that." The dry fly enthusiast wrll soon be coming into his own. for there is now a definite hatch every day after the sun comes out. - While dry thes sometimes do not produce as many large fish " do the wet, certainly during the summer mths they do pro- [ED duce more of the average size fish and very once in a while-a Whopper.

In one match, Freddy was the vic- tor and came up with a death grip on the trout. The next match he was thrown for a loss and the trout got away. That's the way it works out, Freddy, in this trout fishing business, sometimes you win-other times you don't. One of the most beautiful brook trout we have seen in a long time was taken in the Sault Ste. Marie area by "Hahny" at the Walper Cigar store. - _ You notice I refer to the fisher- man as "Hahny at the Walper Ci. gar store". Many fishermen will recognize him by this description, but certainly wouldn't if I gave yog_hi.s he}! name- . . - . "Hahny" claims this fish was taken on a "sick" worm, but later elaborated to the point where he stated the worm wasn't sic4r---it was stone dead.

You Can Ruin Your Concrete Don't use too much water in} mixing concrete and don't forget) to screen the pit-run gravel, The) advice comes from the Experi- mental Farm at Swift Current, Bask., where special attention is, given to farm engineering. Think of a brick wall. Here large pieces of baked clay (bricks) are held together with mortar. A mortar that is too "sloppy" oozes out, and a weak wall will result, In many ways, concrete is similar to a brick wall. Coarse material is held together by mortar.
