the fine days and landed some’

mighty fine catches.

I took._a turn through several country. areas last weekend, and {t was difficult to finda pond or stream that didn’t have at-least one person wetting a -line.

The causeways at Vernon Riv- er and North River were popul- ar spots as usual, and Scales Pond was under «heavy pressure re about 20 cars parked along the road. The same could be said for all the best known spots I expect.

At_one dirt road bridge I passed the young fry were out in force and were having pretty good luck with alder and. cane poles and a bit of line. There they were, hanging over the bridge railing, casting furiously into’ the stream below, ferocious- ly intent on yanking pan size fish from the brook. It looked for all the world like a scene from 50 years ago. - - ee And.while the fish get what for over the next few weeks we have some visitors with us who have their troubles in the fall of the year.

GEESE ARE BACK

The geese are in, and in huge numbers. I spotted a good sized flock near Victoria, and. there

. have been other reports of heavy

flights trickling in over the past week or 80.

But I saw for myself what geese in numbers really looked like near Mermaid last Sunday.

It was a magnificent and an unforgettable sight: There they were, spread out over an area a half mile long and pretty near as much wide..We got tired counting after a couple of thou- sand and never did get to the end of them, but one thing for

It was, as I say, an unforget- |

table sight, and I only hope as many like same route as well when it’s time to go south next fall. , , ENTRIES CLOSED Entries have closed in the fish and Game Association Es- vsay and Poster contest and the results should be announced $0-0-4-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-O-0-0-0-0-0-9-D

Here is Lorie Gaudet, a grade three student at the Ang fo Schoo) in Tignish: ‘Fish are be- ing killed by being poisoned. The- farmers spray their crops

land some of the poison gets in

the spring or brook and the figh get it and die.” : And Russel Shea, a grade four student at the same school: “when the birds nest-around your home you should keep your cat or any animal that might hurt them away. They could fall from the nest and some ani- mal might get them but you could help by putting them back in the nest. You could feed. them and not destroy their nests. Some small children don’t know the. difference: Ifyou see _any- one harming the birds make them. stop it. If you see any kinds of birds limping around take them and look after them.”’ :
