The fishing season hadn't even
opened before the boys had plan
ned one of the biggest mass cam
paigns against the fish = and
against each other-in the history
Of this lake. It looks like it's
going to be fishing to the death
in a big duel Of the rods. Oppon-
ents are members of the Black
Cats and the Rotary Club, and it
should prove an interesting COM
mentary on whether staid, exper-
fenced business men or young, en-
thusiastic fishermen are the bet
ter.
The campaign opened yester-
day along with the opening Of
the fishing season and it'll run
for a month. Now the boys
have made the winning difficult
and have kept conservation in
mind It would seem. The
prize goes not to the group with
the most fish in a month-but
to the group whose member, or
members, has caught the larg-
est fish. The reward? A
turkey dinner at which both
will eat heavily, but the winner
will enjoy it more because that
organization keeps the bucks
in their pockets. Looks like
good sport.
One of the popular outdoor sports
has opened in this precinct. Watch
ing the deer run about the woods
and the hills to the east of the city.
Numerous people have reported al
ready seeing the animals. At dusk
is the most likely time when they
come out to feed on the grassy
stretches along the road. The
other night Art MacDermond and
Bob LATERAL were out in the dark
ness, arranging spotlight on the
curious visitors. Reported sight
ing several before they left. ;. It's
still one Of the major natural
thrills in this part, and in summer
at eventide you can spot dozens of
cars from Sank Centre, Ward
Springs, Grey Eagle even, with
their occupants watching for the
white-tailed critters. ..
If next Sundays a good day,
the resort men are looking for
virtually every boat on the lake
to be out. It's the first week.
end of the fishing season. -.
Sank Centres City Park contin-
ued to be the number one spot of
the town. When last Sunday came
on warm-warmest day Of the year
thus far-the Park got its first
bid. It seemed to enjoy its
huge popularity. All afternoon
people came by foot or car to the
place. Picnics were waged, and
it's a good time now before the
mosquitoes come out in full crop.
While the rest of the town
sweltered in early season heat, the
Park was unbelievably cool with
a northwest wind sweeping it up
in little ruffles. Motor boats skid
ded around the lake. people sat on
the grass, some went swimming.
-. All lolled lazily. -.

Track over and done now
they're turning to spring foot
ball at the school, head coach
Ray Schwartz announced. -.
The plans this year, If time
still permits are to stage pub
lie inter-squad game as a tune
up performance and preview
showing of what the fans might
expect for next fall. The in
ter-squad game is something
quite new here. It's designed
to be an interest stimulator.
Another method for keep
ing interest from tagging Is
the West Central Conferences
ruling permitting only Is days
of practice. That's enough
and adequate to brush a few
fundamentals into shape before
the fall opening. -.
