Later, I was put ashore for a short portage, and got an inkling of what the coureursâ€"deâ€"bois suffered. Any man who tells me that "the bugs don‘t bother me" is a liar. When you‘re swallowing about six with each labored breath, and your nose and ears are full of them, it‘s not hard to believe that a man could go inâ€" sane in a very short time, alone in the bush. But once on the lake, we got a modicum of relief. And the fishing was very pleasant. It was one of those tooâ€"rare summer days that are ideal for fishing: Cloudy, odd flash of sun, threat of rain, and just enough breeze to ripple the surface. __ We trolled and chatted and ate sandwiches and had a slug of rum. It must have been the last item that did it. After more than an hour without even a snag. I was caught on bottom, right after we‘d had a snort. We backed up to try to save the lure, and sudâ€" denly the bottom began to move. I knew it wasn‘t a real fish. A speckled, rainbow, or bass will fight, jump and try to snag you under the boat. This was an old rubber boot. Besides, there were no rainbow, speckled or bass in this lake. It‘s hard for the average chap to get away from the daily bind: wife, kids, job, mowing the lawn. He‘s fortunate if he can sneak a game of golf or get out fishing, without experiencing a deep guilt feeling. This week, I did it, have no guilt feeling, and spent one of the most enjoyable days I‘ve had in years. He doesn‘t have to worry. It took us three hours to get on the lake and I couldn‘t find my way back there with the help of a bloodhound _ handcuffed to _ a Mountie. We began on highways that dwindled to gravel concesâ€" sion â€" roads that shrunk _ to mountainâ€"goat paths that ended in solid bush. A colleague who is an ardent, crafty and persistent angler, and is leaving the area, decided to treat me to a day‘s fishing at one of the secret places he has reâ€" connoitred over the years, and would rather sell his wife and children into slavery than reveal its location. But finally, there was the lake, lovely and utterly solitary. Just us and the bugs. And we were outnumbered about eight million to one. Mosquitoes the size of starlings. ‘ We Rent Most Everything FOR FURTHER C INFORMATION & RATES 125 UnionSt. E.

Don‘t be pressured into buying on credit rather than paying cash. Ken Montagano, public relations officer for Twin City post offices, points out that the usual restricâ€" tions on the number of articles accepted for posting to Romania have been lifted for the remainder of the year. Buying on credit Cash price, down payment, total finance charges, annual percentage rate (interest rate), amount of each payment, total number of payments. Gift parcels for Romania conâ€" taining food, clothing, linen and other household articles will be exempt from customs‘ charges in that country up to Dec. 31. The exemption arises from the distress caused by the floods which created so much damage there earlier in the year. Don‘t be fooled by talk of low payments or easy credit. The law requires all the followâ€" ing items to be filledâ€"in on your purchase contract: Tax lifted on parcels A nice day. Two strikes, two lakes, two fish. And my wife nearly died of shock when I walkâ€" ed in holding them. My partner took a 10%â€"pound lake trout as the sun went down and total peace reigned. He didn‘t like to, but he was forced to smile as he laid it down beside my ‘‘big one"‘. that my rotten line, unâ€"used for two years, wouldn‘t break, I caught a glimpse of him, and my suspicions were confirmed. Just a dirty big sucker I‘d probabâ€" ly hooked by the tail. Another hour without a touch and we decided to move into the other secret lake, where the big speckled are. After a vicious 60â€"foot portage of sorts, which left me gasping like a trout out of water, we were on it. Again, a completely lonely little lake, wooded to the water, with not a cottage or waterâ€"skier in sight. . _Oh, well, I had to get my lure. So I dragged him up, my partner netted him, and with considerable chagrin I discovered I‘d caught a 5%â€"pound lake trout.
