JUNE TO SEPTEMBER ~ Conmult any Canadian Pacific Roilway agent Busted a fow crows this week although I found them harder to call than I expected they would be at this time of year. Heard of a chap the other day who claims he can call crows right up the gun barrel without using a call. That I must see one t these days. 1 have more than enough trouble even with a call. Am going to try the north country again next week for a day or two. Am assured by King Wyte of the Star that he knows where to catch speckles at this time of the year. I‘p going to find out if he does. You can still hear some of the young ones that haven‘t learned to call properly as yet, but they still seem to know where the man with the gun is Trout streams are low at presâ€" ent and have been for the past couple of weeks. â€" _ Then we switched from the larger streamer to smaller patâ€" terns of dark wet flies. We took a few on these until finally by about 10 p.m., they seemed to go off their feed entirely. "lame" trout. Tut, tut . . did that "m" get in there? While the water in the good streams is not particularly affectâ€" ed by dry weather, the trout make themseilves scarce during the bright part of the day. The water is so clear and the trout so timid, they cither feed very early in the morning or late evening. We found them taking well last Saturday morning when we first arrived about 7 p.m. After the sun started to hit the odd patchâ€" ces of stream, the striking slowed up until hardly a trout showed. Switching to small dry flies and a 4x leader, we persuaded the odd lish to come out of hiding, but they were very odd. There was a storm brewing during the day and it may have been a contriâ€" buting factor to the reluctance of the fish to feed. . If you have a fishing reel that is acting up, these boys can also fix tiat. § Slips that pass in the type . . . the Port Arthur district, accordâ€" thg to a Department of Lands and Forest report, have speckled and We do not doubt but that the uide‘s tale is true. Howevet, we think it in their entire interest to muke sure that everyone trying this wasteful stunt, be picked up by a game overseer and taught a lesson that will curtail any repeâ€" tition in future. Two Waterloo boys, Tom Oberâ€" le and Jack Barrett have gone into the live bait business. You <cin buy practically anything you think the fish you are seeking, will fancy. _ Americans are inclined to be fish hogs when they come to this country and the one day limit is not proving to be the entire anâ€" swer. It is a big step in the right direction, but there just isn‘t enough active game overseers to curtail the activities of some who will kill fish and game even though they know they will not be able to use them. We doubt if we have ever heard of a case where a person has been proseâ€" cuted for wilfully wasting fish or rame. This is a brand new type of business for this community and we will be more than interested in how they make out. Welfare of the fish and game is a must if they are to carn a living. If they know of persons killing game fish and then letting them spoil or just killing them for killing sake and then burying them, then it is up to the guide to see that a game overseer is notiâ€" fied and that the person responâ€" sible for such waste is prosecuted. Frankly, while we detest this sort of thing, we think the guides are as much at fault than the soâ€" called sportsmen * catch. The guides claim the majority uf the offenders are "Yankees" and while that could be, we have wur share of Canadians who are also gamme hogs.

About eighty people attended and from all reports a good, time was had by everyone. To Uncle Walâ€" ter Heldman and his capable committee, we take our hats off for a job well done. He promises more such evenings in the future. Since last reporting the Club news to our members, the Departâ€" ment of Lands and Forests have sent us the pheasants we have been talking about for some time past. Twentyâ€"one of the birds were full grown and were reâ€" leased by Fred Merner, District Overseer, at the Club property. The following week we received thirty pheasant poults. The first day we had the poults we had considerable trouble with the poults peckin at each other and we had to release three or four. Since that time however this trouble has been overcome and the birds are coming along very nicely, under the expert superviâ€" sion and feeding of Irvin Clemâ€" mer. Take a run out and see them sometime, just for your own saâ€" tisfaction. f Rumor has it that Bill is now practicing up for the deer season this fall.

Ron Buddell remarved. R. G. Given, city clerk, told the committee that tennants at the units are presently paying rents of from $37.50 to $40.00 monthly. He felt that the tennants would. suffer no hardship if asked to pay a little more rent to cover the inâ€" crease asked by the city. In an 1948 agreement between the municipality â€" and Central Mortgage and Housing the latter agreed to pay a set price in lieu of paying taxes. However, the committee pointed out, since that time the mill rate in Waterloo has increased about oneâ€"third. The committee agreed Monday night to ask the Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation, lessor of the units, to form a new agreeâ€" ment with the city which would provide for a larger payment to Waterloo in lieu of taxes on the 83 units. Tennants at 83 units of the housing enterprise in the northâ€" west section of the city may be requested to pay increased rents amounting to approximately $40 yearly if a recommendation by the housing and special commutâ€" tee is approved by Waterloo Council.

Who invents these games (and their names) and gets them startâ€" ed in popularity, is a question that has often occurred to me. No doubt manufacturers of playâ€" ing cards and games have reâ€" search departments who devote their time to dreaming up such bill by the _ city covering weedâ€" cutting operations on his properâ€" ty. Appearing before Waterloo Council Monday night, Mr. Scheiâ€" fele charged that the amount of the bill was incorrect. Three weeks ago the council‘s board of works committee was told that Mr. Scheifele made no efforts to pay the city for cutting the weeds until the amount was added to his tax bill. He then complained to civic officials. The committee at that time, although feeling that their workâ€" er‘s timing on the job was corâ€" rect, agreed to bill Mr. Scheifele with $120.99 instead of $145.74.

Good thing, too, for on their long migrations, these coldâ€"weather birds often walk most of the way. I think it‘s about time they moved into new territory in anâ€" other househoid, particularly since we are now on two weeks of holidays. We aren‘t going anywhere this year but had planned picnics and the like. If I‘m not mobile soon the two weeks will be shot and we won‘t be able to claim even a trip to Waterloo park. Well, I‘d better get this in the mail . . . see you next week. Over a week ago a whole army of oneâ€"dayâ€"fluâ€"bugs moved into our household and set up camp in me! The only trouble is, they have overstayed their welcome and the one day has stretched inâ€" to ten. I enjoy the game, despite the fact I always manage to obtain the lowest score. Of course that is just bad luck, although I noâ€" tice the high scoring players inâ€" sist it is pure skill! I have found it amusing too in the sense that one can almost reâ€" cognize the profession of a player by the words he chooses. Natural enough I suppose. A medical man who is an ardent fan of the game filled the board one evening with such words as tumor, suture, duct and event (as in blessed, he inâ€" formed us!) How long the game will retain its popularity before another takes its place, I don‘t know. But meanwhile I‘m all for it. Each word you make must be connected with one already on the moard by a mutual letter. Of course there are all sorts of rules to make it more difficult and you are completely limited by the letâ€" ters you happen to draw. If your letters consist of q, z, x, and the : O D OE su s like, you are in for some mt admit it! You‘ll be making a soâ€" cial faux pas! Devotees of the game will inform you that everyâ€" ene knows about scrabble . . . and if you haven‘t heard of it, you soon will. We were introduced to the game a few weeks ago after finâ€" ally bringing ourselves to ask a scrabble fan just what it was! The name itself suggested fiftyâ€" two pickâ€"up. Cards are not used at all but small wooden blocks with the letters of the alphabets, each worth certain points, printed upon them. You play it on a board and the whole idea of the game is to think of words that can be made with one or more of the seven blocks in the player‘s possession. It have never heard of SCrebble, for Roudoors sake dont things . . . at least it would seem to be so. ,;LCS w\ PAGE SEVEN J a«r
