Ehter Message -T

It is easy in the northern hemisphere: to grasp the lzlastcr message. of the Resur-, rection. All around are reminders in the: form of quickening nature. Water runsi everywhere after ll hat is usually a winter” silence. Plant and animal life take on renewed life and man himself feels a new” joy in living.

Joy and life are essential parts of thel Easter message. Even the most secular recognize the spirit of the season by re- viewed interest in what they wear and eat. Their reasons may be obscure even to them- selves but few can altogether resist the Easter spirit.

. . . . l The great lllllSlt' inspired hv the sea-,

son can today be heard by people every-l-haV9

where, rather than by the favoured few. In this country we enjoy a large freedom of worship as well as of thought and action. It is a freedom we should prize the more because so many others have been de- prived of it.

Easter lilies are, like Easter music, symbols of the joyful season. They breathe of life and beauty. Shakespeare spoke of sermons. in stones. The sermons today are derived from living things. Death has been relegated to the status of a doorway rath- er than the end of life.

A worthy cause

An Easter Monday play under the aus- pices of the St. Charles Auxiliary Societyl of the Charlottetown Hospital has become traditional, and this year will be no excep-i tion to the long established rule. The costs of hospital operation. as everyone knows, been rising continually, and Monday's benefit performance will provide all our citizens with an opportunity of showing their appreciation of the splendid work the ;Charlottetown Hospital is doing, as well as iof enjoying excellent entertainment. 1 The production this year is under the fdirection of Mr. F. M. Maclntyre and is a lsparkling comedy entitled ”Don't Darken .My Door". supplemented with orchestra i and specialty acts. The Auxiliary and cast deserve every support in their praise- iworthy efforts, and it is expected that, as ton other occasions, the attendance will be ,both large and appreciative. "

ference, Mr. Carson supports the principle argue

of compensation. for he does not against it. He deals merely with the ques- tion of administration.

He tried to prevent the sale of alcohol to the In- dians, finally using force, defeating them at Tippecanoe in 1811. From 1811 to 1813 he was actively engaged in the war with Britain.

APRIL 4. 1953

--on- .:---.-:.:1.

For I good many year: now I have been in the practtooof taking my rod out. of it: case, prepara- tory to its annual overhauling. on or about. the Idea of March. Oc- oaslontlly. for one reason or an- other. I have put. it off to st. Patriots. This year, for the first time. the ceremony did not take place until All Fool's Day. Whether or not this has any special elgni. licance is a question I am not prepared to answer. -

Whatever may be uld about anglers in general it. will be ad- mitted that. they are noted for harborlng great. expeclatlonst in their hearts. I would so so for as to say that the expectation is the beat. part. of the fun of fishing. better even than the cn.t.ch itaelf. If we knew for certain how many fish we were going to get. on any particular trip. or whether we were to get parry at all, most of us would just as soon stay at. home.

At. the very moment. I took my rod out. of its winter hiding place on Wednesday morning. great. ex- pectations filled my heart. This year I will do much better than last. Bigger trout will come to my lures and fewer of them will get away. There will be more water in the ntuanu, better fishing wuthr, more eouthenly winds. I shall profit. by last year! min- takeo and errors in Judgment. This bustneu of fishing all day and sometimes far into the nigh with not.h.lnz to show for it. in a thing of the put. In all probabil- ltIyIwlnbeoneoft.he"Openi.ng Day" prize winners, a distinction which so far has never fallen to my lot. .

How do I know these things? Well. to be perfectly truthful, as beoomu an experienced angler, I don't. know them at all. In ex- pressing theee expectations I am simply following the tradition 'ol' the cult, a. tradition that. allows no room for little hopes. By the time the season is over I shall very likely be a sadder and a wise: man. but. that can wait. I would. be I. poor specimen of a fisher- man if I proceeded on the basis of put. experience and permitted matter of fact. realism to govern my plans. The cult would dleown. mo and I doubt if. in such circum- stances. I could even get A license. Certainly I would not. deserve om.

. . .

Where to go on Opening Day is always a matter that gives me plenty to think about for two or three weeks prior to that great day in the calendar. The Island roads are not. too helpful at this time of the year and, for some reason, the pavement. never seems to reach the best fishing places. Only about a year ago I brought this matter to the attention of the Honourable Mr. Mcxlnnon but, apparently. my suggestion that all other sections should be neglected in favour of the trout spots did not get beyond the consideration stage.

I am almost certain that I could get. not limit. at. a little stream only a stone's throw from my own place. The trip could be made on

Men have been known to wall: from seal River to Cardigan and hm. Again for leea urgent. reasons. To be Peffwtly frank. I have never caught anything bigger than . minnow at Seal River. But.

Blr, olael dream conquest: are mt counted in this very practical age, so I must. try for something more tangible and more likely to be accepted dc ”".to.

. . . If I do have another try this year I think I will follow the' ex- ample of the giant. who went fish- lnc. IA duorl-bod by the llth cen- tury poet. William King: "I-Ila angle-rod made of a sturdy oak; Hie line A-cable which in aim-rm ne'er broke; Ru hook he ballad with I dro- gon'I tell; And set upon a rock and bobbed

for whale."

The poet does not say what. the big man used for a bobber but. no doubt, a, hundred gallon oil drum would serve the purpose. Th: but would present. a. real difficulty since, so far as I know. Island dragons are now extinct. I men- tioned this to a neighbour who immediately suggested that I. three-year-old steet'a head would do an well.

Izaak Walton. who made the sport. of angling into A fine art. said that it. is somewhat like poe- try, men are born so. He said also that all lovers of virtue go ta- angling". Thoreau, on the other hand, said that he could not fish without losing his self-respect. Here is one instance where great. minds did not. think alike. For myself. much an I admire Thor- eaub philosophy of life in manv ways, in this respect I am a dis- olple of the Waltonian cult. IV: a. matter of opinion, I suppose. and each man muet choose for himself.

Moot fishermen. I fancy, luv! read Walton's great work. Then may be a. few who haven't. For their information I quote his di- rectiona for using frog u bait. Incidentally. the frog is no furth- er down the line of xeepeotabllfty than the common worm.

"Put your hook, that II to any the arming wire, through the frog's mouth. and out. at. his gills. and then with A fine needle and silk sew the upper part. of his leg with only one stitch to the arm- ing wire of your hook. or tie the

foot in a matter of minutes. It innit likely, however, that the first day will find me in that parti- cular spot. For no reason at. all except that distance lend: en-
