perch anglers that ever turned
out TO try their luck with the
silvery fish were on tho river
Easter Sunday. Boats were at
q premium and anglers formed q
waiting Hn0 at all lighthouses.
First come, first served YVES the
policy adopted By the prOprietOEs

wait their turn.
Tomorrow looks like another big
day and my advice to those con-
templating trip is to get an
early start. Beat the other fellow
to it BY setting the alarm just an
hour ahead. The weather man
promises fair skies and water con-
ditions are Just right, including
the tides, which are as follows:
High tide 49,. $40 am. 6:46 pm.
Low tide -. .11:5O am.
Among the most successful perch
ers on Easter were the city's lead
ing conservationists, Wood, Kemp
err and Ford. The trio kept only
select fish and their string was a.
beautiful sight to behold.

Supposin' fish don't bite at first,
What are you going to do?
Throw down your pole, chuck ont
your bait,
And say your fishin's through?
You bet you amt, you're goin' to
fish
And fish and fish. and walt.
Until you've ketched a bucket fun,
Or used up all your bait.
Suppose success don't come at first.
What are you going to dot
Throw up the sponge and kick
yourself,
And growl and fret and stew?
You bet you amt, you're goin' 20
fish
And bait and bait again.
Until success will come your way,
