The Wilmot Rod and Gun Club will have moving pictures â€" of wiidlife shown at their next meetâ€" ing so they are making a special request for a good turn out. Betâ€" ter plan to be there and spend a pleasant evening with the boys. Of course there are still the rainbow trout and the lakers to be considered and we expect to spend some time with them. The trouble is that as soon as the bird seasun opens, 1 want to hunt birds every Saturday and as often in between as my conscience will let me. When am I going to go after the rainbows? In all seriousness fellows . . . don‘t hang up your trout tackle yet. There is a lot of good fishing to be had between now and the freezeup. suffering will not become acute until after the bird season is all over. We are at the moment of writing, completely surrounded by guns we have pulled from our gun cabinet to handle and toss up to our shoulder at the pheasant on one wall and the woodcock on the other. Somehow the big trout swimming over the doorway to our den does not look nearly as impressive as he did last April, and as he will again next spring.

By top notch we mean ‘in the same class as the American ‘magazines such as Outdoor Life and Field and Stream.

In our opinion he is in a genâ€" leral way, on the right track. Being a user of fine doubles myseif, i couldn‘t help but think that Mr. Landis had hit the nail right on the head when he said that one of the most tragic misâ€" fortunes in the shooting game inâ€" sofar as the wing shot is conâ€" cerned, is the gradual disappearâ€" ance of the moderate and higher pr'ifed double barreled guns.

There are several difâ€" ferent versions as to how he found this out and not knowing the true version, I guess I had better not elaborate &n it any $NOaRC e : N T The Waterloo Rod and Gun Club: Hope I‘m wrong, but from a sign in Doug‘s Recreation store window, it would appear as though there might be an open season on Waterloo residents this year. What Mr. Landis probably means by calling the double a gentleman‘s gun" is that the avâ€" erage user of a good double makes sure that the two shells he has are used in such a manner as to inâ€" sure clean, fast kills of individâ€" ual birds, while some repeater a‘gd automatic owners depend on Mr. Landis calls the double barâ€" rel a "gentleman‘s gun" and deâ€" plores the craze which turned so many beginners to the pump and automatic. "fire power" to put something in the game bag. _ cabinet, the average pump or automatic feels like something which could be used to prop up a sagging fence post. Possibly the gunmakers of today could turn out just as handsome a job as their fathers did twenty years ago, but we have yet to see a samâ€" ple of it.

The three deaf mutes, for instance, who were our neighbors, a husband and wife and the wife‘s brother. The children of the couple bore three quite normal children all of whom have grown into normal and worthy citizens. _ To distinguish between people of identical Christian and surâ€" names the people of Glengarry county, for instance, tack on deâ€" scriptive nickâ€"names. Well, the ’people of this community did the same, and one man was known ‘as "Tom" while another who owned the same surname and "Tom" as a Christian name was known as "crazy Tom". Crazy or not, he built some mighty fine rowâ€"boats, one of which I reâ€" paired and painted during this year‘s holiday. A number of them are still in use on both sides of the river in the district. Crazy Tom had a wife who weighed around the three hundred mark. No one knew just what was her exact weight because she could never be persuaded to step on the scales. One day Tom fooled her. He got her to help him with the haying by giving ber the job of building the load on the hayâ€"waâ€" gon. She used a ladder both to mount the empty wagon and to dismount from the wagonâ€"load of hay. After a couple of loads had been weighed, wife and all, Tom returned to the weighâ€"scales and weighed the load of hay without. her. The difference, so they say, was 310 pounds. Mrs. T. was very mad at Tom which, she said, caused her to get the gout; but that‘s another story.. Mr. B., a quarter of &a mile down the road, had a badly cleft palate and almost totally uninâ€" telligibly. Being quite normal children, all of my contemporaâ€" ries could imitate him to a "T" and did so frequently. By dint of much practice we developed a sort of Mr. "B." language which any child attending the local school could understand â€" but which defiied interpretation by eavesdropping adult. Our parâ€" ents, having in turn threatened and appealed to our better naâ€" tures, gave the matter up as a bad job. If I remember rightly, by the time I had completed my second year in collegiate, the Mr. "B" dialect had faded out entireâ€" ly, although Mr. "B" himself was still very much alive. ! was a mere lad, oddly enough, 'the people and the events were not worth my notice. Now, they ’have taken on the lure of disâ€" tance. Let me tell you about some }ol them. _ _First, the old people of the community. There was the couâ€" ple who lived in a little shack a stone‘sâ€"throw from the railway station. The shack had only one room and the floor was of earth. The occupants were supposed to be demented, but that was no deâ€" terrent to having a family. There were three children. There would have been four but, it was found eventually, the yo est died at birth and was bu:'li.;s in a field close by. What became of the others no one around seems to know. It is presumed that they moved away upon the death of their parents. Anyhow no one around there has heard of them since that time. Like all other places it has hisâ€" m:y and .lehc :nouqry.dwn made by people w ved many years ago, from the &me of lge first British settiers, through the wars between us and the U.S.A., until the aresent day. History, I presume, is still beâ€" ing made in that little place, but to me, it is not nearly as interâ€" esting as what was being turned out a number of years ago. When I was a mere lad, oddly enoush. and all other natural wonders are wonderful, but there‘s nothing so interesting as people. . _ Take those people in the little place in which I spent seven years of my boyhood, for inâ€" stance. It‘s on the shores of the s:dl_‘;vmyce in Eastern g)unhno it‘s strictly a farming district very good farming district.

DUCK SEASON OPENS THIS WEEKâ€"END The first opening day for game is nearly upon us September 19th will see duck season usher in the 1983 shooting. Lots of ducks are going to be on the reâ€" ceiving emf of a charge of chilled shot, and plenty of hunters will be coming home with their chests out, and their game bags loaded. But sure as shootin‘ there is goâ€" ing to be some hapless chap comâ€" ing home on a stretcher, and some very sorry hunter is going to be walking with his head bowed in shame, knowing that through his carelessness, ignorance, intemperâ€" ance, he has forever deprived a fellow sportsman from enjoying those glorious moments that only a hunter can know. Some family will always remember opening day as the day that the sportsman of their family was killed or cripâ€" pled. They won‘t look forward to it with excitement and anticipaâ€" tion. Let each and everyone of us who takes a gun in his hands remember, and never forget for a second while he is handling the gun or when he has set it down oy it:self. that many generations hard put for a reason so many years prior to those of atomic exâ€" plosions. Then there was a suiâ€" cide h‘.lzmt and, of loni‘er and more excitable duration, the conâ€" jectures connected thereto. That was good for a few years to bolâ€" ster any h"‘ conversation. The l:lplc is sti ucfiebrated, after a fashion. Let it not be concluded that this Eastern Ontario rural comâ€" munity was inferior in any reâ€" spect to any other normal comâ€" parable part of Canada. We had our share of fine, progressive, happy, normally industrious peoâ€" ple. Scattered among them were caused little damage but no end of conversation for days afterâ€" ward.

The conservation officer thought for a while and could not quite imagine what sound shots were, so he asked the hunters. The told him that they heard a crug in the bush and snapped a few shots at it; they even said one of the party shot a deer like that last year and that they didn‘t want to miss any opportunity of getting their deer this year. The officer was so fAabbergasted at their ignorance of all the rules of hunting safety, that he just got in his car and drove away to anâ€" other part of the district, and one can‘t blame him too much for getting out of the part of the country where maniacs like that are running loose with guns. our world, odd, ordinary, clever, leaders, Canadians.
