DEEP JOY AND THANKSGIVINGGREET ANNOUNCEMENT OF V-E

One of the most momentous days in history was Monday , May 7, when shortly

before 10.00 a.m. the news was flashed to a waiting world that Germany had

capitulated in unconditional surrender to the Allies. At Port Colborne Refinery the

ill-fated Mosquito bomber, "F for Freddie", by an unusual coincidence was "shooting

up" the plant as a Victory Loan publicity stunt when the great news broke. As if

by special arrangement, "F for Freddie" zoomed low over the Refinery just as the

As his wounds healed, Pete did a lot of!thinking . He says he began to dread coming,home more than he had dreaded the prospectof being killed in battle. He was afraid of.how people would receive him.

Pete says the thing he dreaded most was sympathy of pity. Above everything he wantedpeople to receive him naturally, making no lmention or fuss about his loss. He was desper-ately anxious to get to work, and to show he 1could make his own way. He didn't want to'hear anybody say, "He can't do very much.but we'll find him some sort of a spot wherehe can get along."

Miles Tokarek, reagent operator in CopperCliff Concentrator since he was discharged fromthe Army three years ago , has an interestinghobby which he is confident could be turned

into big business if he were to hang out his

to get.After a couple of years in gold dredging

It would not be difficult to find a man orwoman who had never golfed, or who had neverplayed badminton or chess, but it would be amuch more difficult task to find a person whohad never fished.

Perhaps the urge to hunt and fish is inheritedfrom our very remote ancestors, although whatis sport to us today meant survival in the pri-mitive times. In any event, what better escapeis there from the pressure of modern life than

to get back to the en-vironment of our ances-tors where woods andwater meet. There wehear the song of thebirds, the whispering ofthe trees, and the mur-muring of the brook; wesee the dappled leafyglades, the glint of thesun on water , and themyriads of brightlycolored flowers. Add tothis the fascinated ab-sorption and excitement

patience, and it is nothard to understand why

fishing has so many dyed-in-the-wool devotees.One of these is James Savage, of the Copper

Cliff High School staff, who has long studiedfish and their habits from a scientific as wellas a sporting viewpoint, and to him the Tri-angle went last month for the following inter-view on a subject dear to the hearts of so manyof its readers.

At this season of the year, Mr. Savage tellsus, fish of the trout and salmon family are fore-most in the thoughts of the angler. This familyThe Salmonidae) is considered by many to be

the most colorful and interesting of the familiesof fish. It includes all the salmon and trout,and thus embraces many of the best game andcommercial species. The Salmon family in-cludes the Atlantic Salmon and its two land-locked varieties, the Sebago Salmon common inNew Brunswick and the Ouananiche (pro-nounced Wan-an-ish) found in the neighbor-

The world's record speckled trout, weight 14 1/2 lbs., length 30'/2 inches. It was takenin Rabbit Rapids , Nipigon River , in 1915 by Dr. Cook of Fort William with live minnow bait.

Opinion differs, Mr. Savage says, as to which I leader with a fine tip is necessary. In makingmember of this noble family is the gameist . the cast the rod should he checked just beforeThe Kamloops and Cut-throat Trout are held, the end of the stroke. By doing this thein very high regard by fishermen of the WesternProvinces, while in the East the place of pre-

l eminence is held by the Speckled Trout. It issometimes called the Brook Trout but this nameis rather misleading because it is by no meansconfined to brooks; it is at home in the GreatLakes or in ponds of an acre or less, and whereit has access to the sea it will feed in salt-waterand return to fresh-water streams to spawn.

The largest Speckled Trout on record wastaken from the Nipigon River in Ontario byDr. J. W. Cook of Fort William. It weighed141/2 lbs. and had a total length of 30?12 inches.On another occasion Dr. Cook took two trout Ion one cast in the same river . One weighed !five pounds and the other over six.

Although every enthusiastic fisherman dreamsof catches like this it must not be supposed thatthe taking of fish is the whole concern of theangler . He is equally interested in the schemesand appliances for outwitting his scaly adver-sary and Mr. Savage suggests that if he is tobecome a skillful fisherman he must study, notonly his rod, line, hooks, and methods of cast-ing, but also the habits of the fish and the,insects upon which they feed.

There is probably no subject more contro-versial than that concerning fishing lures andmethods of fishing. Every fisherman has hisown ideas on the subject and is prepared toargue ad infinitum in support of his particulartheory. A novice will set out with a greatarray of gaudy trout flies, try one after anotheruntil he finally catches a trout, and promptlyconclude that he has at last found the properfly, after which he will vigorously extol its meritsto his fellow anglers . The sad truth is that anexperienced angler probably could take his limit!in the same water with almost any suggestivefly. It has been proven by experiment that, nomatter how many times a fly is rejected by asuspicious trout, it will be taken when presentednaturally. To accomplish this is the whole art

The great bulk of their food consists ; off two decisions against Cliff ' s brother Herb, well and truly known.of bottom organisms , particularly the immatureor nymph stages of aquatic insects . To thisfact is due the very successful results reportedfrom nymph fishing.

Nymph fishing gives good results in pond,lake or stream , but it seems to be especially welladapted to stream fishing . In stream fishingwith nymphs, no water deep enough to hold atrout should be neglected . The back-water ofrocks and logs and the eddies around projectingpoints are very likely places. It is advisable tocast the lure so that it hits the water upstreamfrom the point where a trout may be lurking;this should be done so that the nymph is wellunder water by the time it reaches the likelyspot . The angler then draws in his slack line(by hand) until he has almost straight contactwith the lure . He then twitches the line andso creates a jerky , wobbly movement which isextremely life - like. It has been found that evenin waters where trout have become wary of theordinary artificial flies, they are invariably de-ceived by nymphs presented in the mannerdescribed above.

"But remember ," Mr. Savage told us in con-clusion, "I'm not guaranteeing a thing. Theother day I went out after trout myself, and Ididn' t catch a solitary one."

"THE WOMAN IN THE WINDOW"

It could happen to anybody" will probablybe an average public reaction to the deadlyweb of circumstances which traps Edward G.Robinson and Joan Bennett in "The Woman

in the Window."

In contrast to his usual "killer" roles, Rob-inson in this pic plays a mild-manneredpsychology professor, devoted to his wife andchildren, who quite innocently gets into a spotwhere in self-defence he is forced to stab ahalf-crazed attacker. The drama of the storycarries on from this point to reach exceptionalpeaks of tension before the surprise climax is

reached.Miss Bennett's role is that of an artist's model

and girl friend of a wealthy but savage-temp-ered financier. A striking portrait of themodel displayed in an art gallery windowaccounts for the title of the film. The troublebegins when Robinson , looking at the painting,finds Miss Bennett also watching it, immedi-ately recognizes her as the original, and acceptsher invitation to look at some of the artist's

i other work in her apartment.
