Ladies who have husbands inâ€" terested in huntin‘ ‘n‘ fishin‘, have a cinch when it comes to buying Christmas gifts, and don‘t seem to realize it. A tie, a shirt or a pair of socks is somethinl’ he will go out and buy himself if he has to have them. But many is the time when the grub winner will do without some item of equipment he would love to own, so that there may be more money for the little woman and the kids. dy the other night to see what did happen at the party, we discoverâ€" ed he was decorating a Christmas tree. Probably hopes someone will put some more fishing tackle under it for him or mayge even & live trout. mo MAROAERERRT "*Trâ€""*~~rv lars, a case fo Â¥G ‘ l P R ' shooting coat oi J Cl knee boots, wil t p . 121 "‘ your thoughtfu Ree LLLL JS WA d ression you / P w Pm ghmml > 4 l as we c By Herb Smith women ‘gowfl husband has a Freddy Shanks| Heck, we‘ll eve tells us there) we can get som were close t\the tie and soc 200 persons &t) mas. the annual Christmas parâ€" * * ty put on by| News is scar the Waterloo| Waterloo Rod a Rod and Gun|the Wilmot Ro Club.

Henry P. Davis, Remington reâ€" presentative, claims that Ameriâ€" can sportsmen are the luckiest in the world. Henry is a good enough authorâ€" ity that I shouldn‘t disagree with him, but I do. I think Canadian sportsmen are better off than the Americans when it comes to a seâ€" lection of fish and game and streams and lakes and the like. News is scarce from both the Waterloo Rod and Gun Club and the Wilmot Rod and Gun Club. The two parties they have held recently must have been too much for them. Hap Veitch, secretary of the Wilmot Club, says to wish everyâ€" one a very Merry Christmas and a sloppy New Year. What does he mean, "sloppy New Year?" Toemmy Jackson claims he is&c:; ing to tie so many trout flies this ling? Funny how some small thing will bring memories back. ression you see on his face ,'hmtmummh% Frankly we can‘t see where the I have taken a lot of lakers, but . Despite doing everything posâ€" sible the wrong way, I managed to land that fish, much to the amazement of my companions. The laker had caused me so much trouble that I threatened to have him mounted and hung in the cotâ€" tage. i have caught a lot of lake trout on this same outfit and one that is even lighter, since that first day. The only thing I have against this super light tackle on some of these big fish is that you can‘t do much with them for the first little while you have them on. Your line is too light to force the issue andâ€" your rod pr@bably wouldn‘t stand the strain if you did put on the pressure. Howâ€" ever, I can think of a lot less pleasant ways to speng my time than being tied to a bigâ€"laker by a slender ‘thread line‘. Try it this spring if you like fishing for lake trout. You will be amazed at the fight these fish can put up on light tackle. tew years, most of them g been taken in the m on a fy rod and ei streamer son. It took a lot less time than we had aliowed to put the cottage in shape and we had the best part of the afternoon to put in. As 1 remember it, 1 took a lot of kidding about that s um::s outfit. The rod was too %‘ slender and the reel work . a coffee grinder, according to my companions. You could almost see them praying I would hook into a big laker so they could see the resultant mess they expected me to get into. 1 nad set the drag on the reel too light ‘because I did not know wnat the spimning line would take. The result was that the fish aeparted for the other side of the lake and darn near made it beâ€" fore I could get some more tenâ€" sion screwed on the reel. Then I got too much and the reel handles nearly beat my knuckles off. Ill-oi{mufi“ndh Then I acquired a light spinning It was bought with the idea of ing it on brook trout in some of :fies@uMqMMl occasionally get into. The first year I had it, we arâ€" rived in the north country a day ahead of the speckled trout seaâ€" It seemed only natural that we should put our tackle together and go out to try the lakers. So serious was their kidding that I began to wonder if I really had made a mistake in wmg the outft for lake trout. e were probably out about an hour when a small laker of about six pounds smashed at the fly rod size wabâ€" bler 1 was using. _ _ h With a Ay rod, 1 would have been in command of the situation at least so far as its possible to be in command when you are hooked onto a rampaging wild bred fish that doesn‘t want anything to do with you. o s s With the spinning outft, I was completely at a loss and if the fish hadnt been so obliging, 1 probably would have lost him alâ€" most as soon as I buried the hook. i C Y â€"@=\<\fZ)\3 ,g‘«'-fu‘\‘\"w mmb %}v///fi,\g'y' o m S ALL REDUCED From $39.95 to $69.50 WINTER COATS OPEN THURSDAY, FRIDAY AND SATURDAY UNTIL 9 P.M. NEXT WEEK MONDAY AND TUESDAY UNTIL 9 P.M. l Following this teenâ€"age kind of Christmas meaning there came a more serious note. ‘That was avout the time of the first world war and I remember that it seemed odd, if not actually a mockery that, while we Chrisâ€" tians were cglebrating the birth of the Prince of Peace, we should; at the same time be in deadly earnest killing other Christians who were also celebrating the selfâ€"same Christian feast for the |selfâ€"same reason. I knew some German young men, having met them at a world conâ€" ference. I knew they were in the fightingâ€"lines and I had every reason to believe they were as Christian as I. I also knew a numâ€" ber of Canadian fighting men whom I had every reason to beâ€" lieve held no brief at all for Christian principles. ~ Was No Peace The only way then was to forâ€" get the whole thing, immerse myself in the recreation job I was doing in military hospitals and hope that, some day, all of the Christians would be able to see how they got themselves into such a hofrible mess. That time did come, partially at least, and Christendom enjoyed some meaâ€" sure of universal unification lgin â€"until the Second World War when brother, again found himâ€" Peace on Earth â€" But How? commotion helped to wear off the effects of the gorgings. lnd!uintotbcnmhcnw plenty to eat, and of all, lots of nice black Christmas cake and nuts and candies for in between meals. I don‘t remember having Enemy Was Christian I have never quite got over the shock of that realization. Surely there was something wrong someâ€" where. Even to suppose that all the Allies were Christian and had an unquestioned Christian cause while the enemy were unâ€"Chrisâ€" tian fighting a pagan and unholy cause, failed to cushion the shock. Later, Christmas meant parties, presents to send, Christmas dinâ€" ner and our own hnu;xd:;oup at home to whom was some guests who could not go to their own homes for the feast. Church and the Christmas music came more into the picture about this time. I can‘t say that we had less fun than when we wefe younger, but it was different fun, probably a little more serious, not necessarily quiet, although certainly less boisterous. _ _ _ _ Christmas, when I was a child, #HBâ€" WATBRLOO Gifts 4 sing ‘Peace on earth‘ when there is no peace?"
