WV AZ WV oCONld,
Aus. 26.-Dr. Albert II. E%rldenberg Of
New York Is a fisherman. That ex-
plains why he has been wandering
about. as far north as Newfoundland,
across the Gulf Of 81. Lawrence to Sgd
ney. Cape Breton. and then here. with
him is Mrs. Fridenberg. not quite so en-.
thusiastic an angler as the physician.
nr. Fridenberg fishes all day and
dreams Of fishing at night during his va
cation. Here is the story Of his salmon
trip as he told II to n Sun reporter
to-day: I'VE mean to stay at Kedge-
makooge Lakes for a whiie.' began the
doctor. 'at least until the restless spirit
OF my ancestral tribes is again stirred
by the reports Of big game elsewhere.
Nothing to smile about no supercl!i-
ously I believe my ancestors were
great hunters and fishermen. Maybe one

Anyway, l love fishing. even II I. Is
a hard work kind OF pleasure and rather
expensive n not always productive.
However, to resume. We went up 10
Newfoundland for the sport royal vulgo
salmon fishing. And I got salmon. and
II was great sport. Ono Is FOUNDER, one

duty on. These. au contralrc. are free,
free as air. that Is they are everywhere,
even In your beds and your 'parri,ch.'

"Mommie also thinks that PORK and

When the fish rise to tn fly and YOU
are not thinking OF something else you
strike quickly and YOU sometimes get
them. When you are thinking OF some
thing else. as. for instance. what Is that
cold wet sensation going down tie inside
OF your trousers? you do not wake up in
time to strike and the salmon Is gone.
THE diversion OF YOU thourhts means
that you have stepped ono inch too far
and that the ice water Tapped over the
waders at the middle and IL gently
trickling toward your knees. However.
ooner or later you do get your salmon
hooked and then there Is something

You have been casting for an hour
or two. your shoulders ache. your wrist
is stin. your back IL lame and you be-

shrieking with delight and the guide

Hold on to him! Let him go. Tip
