Highway Census
Being Taken
Paul Winter of Albany Spending
Week at Junction of Three
and Four

Paul Winter of Albany is now
taking a road census here for the
Highway Department. He COM
menced Monday morning and will
complete the same Sunday, next,
at midnight.
So those of you who drive down
the pavement and see a large good
natured man checking you up at
the junction of 3 and 4 three
miles southeast do not fear he is
not going to arrest you. Maybe
you think he has a soft job, just
sitting there, but remember, he
works Is hours a day, continuous
ly from 6 A. M. to midnight, so
you see the chair gets pretty hard.
Then too, he must be careful
where he puts down each mark,
for he has three sheets upon which
to keep separate tab; one for No.
a, one for No. 3, and one for the
combined traffic of No. 8 and No.
4. Then he has TO list the pleas
ure cars separately from the
trucks, and buses have a separate
column. His charts also show the
traffic each hour of the day, so
he will have quite a complete re-
cord.
Up to 6 P. M. Monday vehicles
from 10 states had passed, which
included Ontario and Manitoba.
The heaviest hours traffic had been
between 5 and 6 P. M, when 90
vehicles had passed that point, an
average of u per minute.

Another Verified
(?) Fishing Story

The fishing season has now
been opened for about three
months and since that time
anglers have been acquit-
ting themselves of one fish
story after another until the
air has become infested with
them. Some stories that are
told sound rather ambigu-
Gus, but that is permissible
as competition for the fishiest
story is rather keen.
Since the opening of the
season we have endeavored to
relate at least one expedient
and verified fish story a week.
With this issue the yarns
have eliminated into an I'M
PARALLEL, but corroborated skit
involving the efficient bust
ness manager of the Herald.
M. J. Fleming, while en-
joying an hours fishing one
evening on Sank Lake in front
of his summer home at Spring
Park was entangled in a
very peculiar and astonishing
incident. He cast out his
June bug with a live minnow
for bait. 1t had no sooner
struck the air when a daring
lake gull snatched the min
now. Being unable to sever
the minnow from the hook and
reluctant to lose his captive
he followed it down to the
surface of the water. .
-. A pickeral, displaying an
equally ravishing appetite,
sighted the bait the instant it
hit the water and snapped at
it catching the June bug, min
now and bird within his
mouth. The bird made a
frantic effort to release him
self and in doing SO flew di-
rectly into the face of the
fisherman and ignominously
knocked his hat off.
The bird in great confus-
ion and rather ruffed up, flew
away and as for the fish, he's
still in the lake.
According to information
the fish weighed approximate
ly 80 pounds, but this part of
the story can not be verified
as the Herald business man
ager has a liars license for
fishermen.
