Judging from the large repre- sentation of tennis clubs through- out the Province and the enthu- siasm shown by them at the reor- ganization meeting oi the P.E.I. Lawn Tennis Association held at the Travel Bureau on Thursday night, it looks like the racquet- wfeldlng sport is headed for an un- usually active season this year. particularly in the field of devel- opment for junior players. ..-. O C S Sparked by the keen interest dis- played by the Canadian Lawn Tennis Association in its offer to assist the Provincial body in an administrative and financial cap- acity in an extended program of junior player development. Island tennis supporters gathered hereon Thursday night to re-organize the Provincial Association, which has been practically non-existent for the past number oi years. as the initial step towards regaining the widespread status that tennis has enjoyed in the Province a decade or more ago. I I l The efforts of Lt. Co]. JM. Mc- Avittie, President of the C.L.T.A.. ‘who has made two visits here during the past few months to confer with local tennis officials in the interests of promoting better tennis. has stimulated enthusiasts all over the Dominion in a full- scale program oi tennis develop- ment as a whole and in the junior ranks in particular. O C O

As far as the local organization is concerned. headed by its new president, Mr. Wilfred F. Taylor. Kensington, they will endeavour to develop a program this summer which will not only take in a ser- ies ot district junior tournaments wherever playing courts are avail- able throughout the Province but also to sponsor a Provincial Jun- ior Tournament whlch will be held in Charlottetown. where the var- ious winners of the district tour- naments will compete for Island Junior titles. with the view oi sending the Provincial winners on to compete in Maritime competi- tlon. I I I

In order to make this program oi tournaments possible. the Canad- ian Lown Tennis Association has offered to make a substantial grant to the Provincial Association to finance the holding of these tournaments for the purpose oi procuring prizes for the winners and providing transportation fac- ilities for visiting contestants to and from the point where the Pro- vincial tournament will be held. it is also hoped that. with the co-op- eration of the individual clubs. a series of inter-club or inter-district competitions will also be carried out during the’ season.

A l th o u g h the reorganization meeting was only the initial step in the formulating of the exten- sive summer program, and many oi the details and promotion work will still have to be worked out bv the Assnfs executive body. the enthusiasm shown by the various club representatives at Thursday's meeting is a good indication that the project has been launched on (he right foot and has the potent- ialities oi developing into some- thing that might well rejuvenatr- the whole tennis trend in this Province.

May 24th just passed was, from a (routing standpoint. as .400: a fishing day as could be drummed up anywhere. For some unknown reason trout are allergic to an east or NOFGB-SL wind. The wind held from that quarter through the day which was cold and cheerless 1n the bargain. There is some com- fort to fishermen in the knowledge that Mother Nature saved thous- ands of her finny family by giving them (the fishermen) the cold shoulder over the holiday and those same trout who sulked in their underwater hideouts lived to be caught another day.

S O O

In contrast the catch was heavy on May 24th. 194.8. The weather was invaluable and the trout in o. reciprocal mood and as a. conse- quence many fishing baskets were filled to over flowing. Last May 24th I spent most of the day in southern Queens and Kings Count- ies but I heard so many reports of the hundreds of fishermen. both resident and non-resident that run rough shod over West Prince that same day that I decided to have a looksee into the goings in that area last Tuesday. 0 O

1 gambled on the weather being favourable and left for Prince County on the evening of the 23rd. 1 found conditions as I expected from the minute I stuck my nose outdoors. Such well known fishing spots as the Big and Little Pierre Jscque, Howl-an. Ge-tsonts. Cains. Gards, Long Creek Bridge-Round Pond and Doyle's Bridge were. in most instances, devoid of anglers and those who had the iemerity to venture forth and wet their lines were either troutless or had so few fish that they might just as well have been that way for all the dif- ferencc it made. '

Inquiries through the week have shown that a. few passable catches were made in southern Queens and Kings counties but those were the exception. There is always some trout hole that appears to reward an angler with a catch sometime during the day or evening ii'he has the necessary patience ‘or stick-to-it makeuo. regardless o! what weather conditions may be.

The Sunday preceding the holi- day was also somewhat of a. disap- polnbment notwithstanding that weather conditions appeared all to be desired. I know of three 3 pounders being taken by different anglers in Eastern Kings on Sun- day last. One was ‘e. real honest to goodness sea trout and a treat 101’ the eyes. It was hooked off a sea- ward sand bar and rewarded the lucky fisherman with a scrap that left his arms limp as dish rags. Every fisherman looks and hopes fior just such a break and that's what makes the trouting game so fascinating. '

Despite the absence of fishermen and trout 1 didn't consider the ef- forts of the day wasted. One had time to wander off the beaten trails and talk to different people and ask questions about trout and whatnot. Once I found myself in unfamiliar surroundlnzi- A 11"- row winding creek with marshy grass grown bank; interspersed with alder clumps meander-ed to the sea a scent quarter mile away.
