not much good for fishing .
Friday was also a sweet day with
plenty Of moisture and boats full
of water Saturday, started
off like it would be a beautiful
day and by II p. m. the same
old story, rain) Sunday,
fooled US again, the early morn
brought a bright sun but soon
clouds covered him up and the
Arctic breezes began to blow.
Ny, how the folks did freeze and
squak Monday, a trifle bet
ter but still cool and windy .
Tuesday a little warmer but on
the whole what week! Pretty
May flowers and beautiful, beau
tiful spring. Oh Yea!
"Ted" Helser and his family
have come to the lake so often
this spring that they figured
they might just as well as move
out. They have decided to rent
a cottage for a while, especially
during this (good ? ? p fish
ing weather. | have always
heard that if you fall in Buckeye
Ocean" you always want to
come back again.
The Wright brothers, that's
"Spick" and Jim" were out
again this past week and done
themselves proud" with the gills
on the flyrod.
Haven't seen DR.. and Mrs. Nc
Fadden lately. DR.. ought to be
here since all these rains keep
the "cats" biting fine.
RED" Porter and Al Kincade
don't care if it rains or not. They
come fishing just the same and
once in a great while they get
a real nice mess.
Oh yes ? ? Did you hear of
the guy who jumped in his boat
and rowed quite a long distance,
got himself all set on the spot
and didn't have any bait. He
ties his boat to a far distant
shore and walks back to the boat
house for worms and then
there was a lady who went a
fishin' and caught a hook in her
slacks. A gallant hero came to
her rescue and with nippers cut
the barb, backed the hook out to
avoid ripping her fishing togs
and all was well ? Sh-h-h-h
military secret we are told.
The "gills" are taking to the
spawn pretty well in spite Of the
bad weather and it is a question
whether one will be able to fish
a little later in the season with
all these priorities on tires and
next gas, they say.
Deacon" Hartman and the
Mrs. were out the other day and
caught nice catch of fish. |
hear though that the Mrs. caught
the most.
George Miller and his brother
who work at the OWens-Corning
plant came fishin' the other day
and took home some real nice
''gills". By George, you're get
ting better, George.
y
Harry Oakleaf and son Ralph
rented a boat the other day and
raised pretty nice mess of fish
in spite of the ICE.

John James from Owens-Corn-
ing promised early this spring
to be on hand when the blue
gills started to bite. John, don't
let the weather bother you for
what fish cares whether it rains
or not.
They tell me that Clyde Kim
bic, the Granville street barber
who lives up at the park is be-
moaning this weather too. He
can't go fishing and even park
activities have been limited. Just
sets and reads. Clyde says:
"You can do that reading" stuff
in the winter time and Pm ready
for my summer activities now,
by gosh"
Charlie Tanner is another one
of those "fellers" who can take
it. He sheds the rain like water
on a ducks back for he proved
it Saturday when he sat right
out in the rain and kept on fish
ing. When Charlie makes up
his mind to go fishing he just up
and goes fishing.
"Henny" Vogel likes the looks
of his tackle box so well that he
wants every one else to see it.
He just leaves it set in the mid
die Of the parking lot a couple
hours and there you are. Nice
going "Henny".
Bud" Snyder is another one
who has the habit Of leaving his
tackle box just "sit". Yep, left
it on the pier and was we'll on his
way home when he discovered
that he had left it.

If Hank" Miller doesn't bring
my lantern back pretty soon
