RECREATION NOTES By DON McLAREN | Recreation Director | I think that we‘ve spent enough ; time talking around the program ; promoted by the Waterloo Recreâ€"| ation Commission and probably not enough in listing the actual activities. While I do not agree with people who think that the | activities are ends in themselves,| I can readily see that those who are no: too much concerned about the deeply underlying and perâ€" manent eeffcts of the program, want to know just what activiâ€"| ties are being carried on. Here, then, is a very briefly summarized’ list of them. To tell about all the work that goes into their promoâ€" tion would take much too Iong.‘ Anyone who has had anything to| do with working with people will Here Are The Actual Activities Of Waterloo Recreation.

Frankly, lnSon't think you can beat the fi)od cane rods. I this despite the fact that -3 authorities as Bergman and Nask Buckingham claim wonder for the new glass rods. However, I nol& they say very little about Szmnt of power these rods have in my personal opinion that is where they fall down. On the other hand the glass rod does not have to be taken care of to near the extent that the cane demands. Personally (again) I would not consider the steel rod for fly fish ing. They cast fairly well and some men do a good LOb with them but I have found they tired my wrist faster than either the cane or glass. i# the truth must be told, I think one of the main reasons I prefer a good cane rod is the same reason I like an expensive gunâ€" pride of ownership A really good cane rod costs a lot of money when you consider that the first fish you hook may make kindling out of it, but the action and feel built into these rods are worth the price. Frankly I gan‘t get excited over either the flas rods or the steel. They don‘t ook like anming except what they are, a substitute. I know this statement will raise hackle feaâ€" thers in some quarters, but that‘s the way I see it. _ On the other hard if we had to make a choice between the best glass rod‘ we could get and a cheap willowy actioned bamboo, we would take the glass.
