Play Time is Danger ‘Time if You‘re Careless By DON McLAREN Recreation Director This matter of safety precauâ€" tions when children play is a very important one.

In the case of | bows and arrows the deadly effect| of improper and careless use should be improved every day.) Our archery leaders left nothing to be desired in that respect.

Last year when we were fishing this area, we had gone for a walk one day and came acruss another lake just about the size of the one we were fishing in. Figuring it was right in trout country and that the stream led from one lake into another, we couldn‘t see how there could help but be trout in it. Careful questioning from the odd resident of the area gathered little information other than that there had been trout taken from the lake a number of years ago. _ On Saturday, we decided that the three of us could probably Clrry over the new flat bottom boat Len had had made.

It was decided at this meeting that the fishing contest would be carried on under its new chairâ€" man, Elmer Sneiter. All those1 entering this contest this year, will have to pay an entry fee of fifty cents which goes into the club treasury. Good idea. We started off with me roped on the front end and Jack and Len carryinf the back. The rope worked fairly well, the only trouâ€" ble being :f one of the other boys dropped their side of the boat, they nearly flattened me, and the boat being slippery from being in the water, the two on the back end had a heck of a time ho!ding The meeting of the Waterloo Rod and Gun Club was well atâ€" tended this week. it.

After seeing the lake, Len and I had done little else all winter but plan how to get a boat on :t with the hope we would connect with one or two of the big ones it was supposed to contain. . Finally we stopped and cut down a small tree and placed it under the back end of the boat. By this time we were drmin&it over the sections of ground that was free of stomes.
