Household Hint Department. Dur

sevation officials Dragged persis-
tently about the superiority of
boiled fish as a delectable dinner
dish. From Robert J. Furlong, dis
trict supervisor at Gladwin, we re-
Gently received the following recipe.
Furlong said he got it from his
wife, which makes it authentic:
Put pieces Of fish filletS into
shallow pan holding one quarter
water in which one tablespoon salt,
six black peppers, one bay leaf, Is
sprigs Of parsley, and one-half car
rot, have been boiled for five min

Inland Waterway. ChebOygan-
Petoskey. What Herman w. Kays,
president of the Emmett County
Sportsmen's club, proclaimed to be
the longest inland waterway in the
United States, is the Cheboygan-
FetOSKey water route via the Che
boygan river, Mullet lake, Indian
river, Burt lake, Crooked river and
Crooked lake.
With group of Northern Mich
igan boosters, we travelled the wa
terway on one of three Chris Craft
SpeedboatS loaned by Robert Ora
ham, one of the three Graham
brothers of Detroit automobile
fame. About a half century ago,
before advent of the automobile,
resorters induced Congress to de-
clare the route a federal controlled
waterway. Neglect followed. Now
resorters are trying to interest the
federal government or the state
conservation department to do
something about boating hazards.
