In so doing I have naturally contacted their friends and relatives so that my circle of friends and acquaintâ€" ances has grown very large. As I look back over the years and see the development that has taken place among those young people whom I knew during their most formative years, there are a numâ€" ber of them of whom we can all fre! justly proud and only a few who did not measure up the opâ€" rortunities presented to them.

He went on to a{.dthat, having the leaders who given him direction in his boyhood living in his comâ€" munity, gave him a feeling of well being and a source of strength as he tried to rear his own two sons. Then he went on to say, "Remember.how you first met our,-n;? We were up to all kinds of mischief and goodness only knows where the end would have been." I guess he was x:fm. The city detective had just called me un about the gang who were going around breakin* windows of empty buildings. They were making a business of it too, keepâ€" ing track of every window broâ€" ken and tryinf to beat each othâ€" er‘s scores. All this was planned from their headquarters, a very small shack in the back yard of one of their homes. How to get next to the gang was the probâ€" lem. They had an aversion of the law and a suspicion of all adults. At this point you may suspect that this article should have been called "An Ode to McLaren, by McLaren". If so, let me restore your perspective. No one can amount to a hill of beans by his own efforts. If you want to be successful just hitch your efforts and ambitions to something much bigger than any one individual can ever become. Almost anyone knows the truth of that stateâ€" ment. At this time when Federatâ€" ed Charities are giving us our an, nual opportunity to participate in their work of development, let us have the vision to see that in such an investement as we are priviâ€" leged to make, we are not so much helping others as we are helping ourselves to become truâ€" ly successful by perpetuating our own lives through the lives of others. Cream and lotions packed in a suitcase are less likely to spill if carried in an unbreakable, flexible polythene container fitted into the cosmetic case. e Briefly this is how it was done. We selected a leader who, after proving his skill to them with a football, suggested that he borrow the "Y" movie machine and show pictures for them in their shack. That was some movie show. The shack was.about nine feet square and the air in it was so thickly saturated with cigarette smoke that, even at that short range, the picture wasn‘t any too clear. From those unpretentious beginâ€" nings there was formed among the gang the neucleus of one of the best swimming teams that had yet been seen in these parts. The boys had been helped over the hump. That effort was paid for through the generosity of peoâ€" ple who could see that a dollar of prevention is worth thousands spent in police courts, jails and penitentiaries. Boys Given Help _ PHEB Sporting, Fish & Game News If the reason you are not atâ€" tending these classes is because you are too bashful to tie flies in front of other fellows who have some expérience, then you are off on the wrong foot. There are none of us at the class who are experts. We all have plenty to learn and that is one of the reasons we are so keen on the sport. Fly tieing is very much like using the flies in an attempt to <catch trout with them. You never know all about | it so the fascination remains. . i If you are at the stage where | you ‘don‘t know whether you \ want to wrap up some flies or not, then speak to a couple of the ‘boys who have tied them and see | what they have to say about it. If we are to have another crow shoot this year .then we had betâ€" ter start a class on crow calling. We have an expert or two in our \ club you know. With a little pracâ€" | tice even Georgé Pagel could ‘pm-bably graduate from _ the \ "rank" class he referred to at this week‘s meeting. ! I think we have now acquired our youngest member. This is Ian Pirie, son of the proprietor of Pirie‘s Drug Store( sounds like a plug doesn‘t it). Actually lIan is handicapped with a nonâ€"fishing, nonâ€"hunting father and some steps should be taken to remedy this condition. Any suggestion on how to make over a good druggist into a tgood fisherman and hunter would be appreciated. You can address yout suggestions to this column and we will pass them on to lan. P was a poor atâ€" 1 tendance in comparison to the number of members in the club. It would almost seem that some form of entertainment will have_to be offered to induce more of the members to get out to these meetings. There was considerable busiâ€" ness attended to even though the attendance was poor and those of the members who do not agree with anything that is done have only themselves to blame Main thing on the agenda was the brief prepared by Harvey Thompson on the Boat Lake scheme. So that we would have expert advice we asked Jim Gage, biologist for the Department of Lands and Forests to sit in on the discussion. â€" While Jim did not know all about the Boat Lake situation, Te knew enough to enable us to conâ€" tact others for further informaâ€" tion. This man Gage is a smart cooky. If you want to know what color eyes your favorite fish has, he can probably tell you. If you want to know what that same fish is likely to eat for breakfast, Jim can probably tell yeu that On top of all his other qualifiâ€" cations, Jim is a real sportsman, so you can‘depend that when he zives you an opinion on fish .and game that he is interested in then ‘rom the same angle as you are, and not as somethinc to justify the job he is doing. We are forâ€" .unate to have him so close to Waterloo where we can get his help in matters that are just a little too deep for the average fisherman or hunter. Those wanting to learn the ruâ€" diments of fly tieing had better be there for if there is not a lot better attendance than at the last meeting there will be no more classes. The next fly tieing class will be a weék from this coming Friâ€" day, or March 23. It will be held as was the other one, at the Haâ€" cienda at 8 p.m. . Most of the boys who have started ticing flies have now reached the stage where it is no longer safe for their wives to leave the house without taking their fur coats, any hats with feaâ€" thers in them and all the feather filled pillows, with them. "You wouldn‘t reach that stage?" Don‘t try and kid us At one time or another we have had every pillow in the house open and still would if we were short of a particular kind of feather that might be found there. y Until you have fished with fiies you have tied yourself, you have been fishing without getting the most you can out of the sport. I say this despite the fact that Geo. Pagel seems to think that bait drowning for bullheads comes unâ€" der the heading of legitimate sport. You should be ashamed of â€" yourself, George, encoutrâ€" aging such ideas, You should know â€" by â€" now _ that â€" none of our club members would resort to bait regardless of the situation â€"or would they? _ Some of the boys have already been out after the crows.
