«Hooray, at long last the big day was here, There were literally thousands of Ontario anglers who were chomping at the bit as they anxiously awaited the last stroke of midnight Friday. June 28. The 1963 bass season was then offic- ially open and anglers are treated to a bonus fishing per- iod this season. since bass is open until November 30. in- stead of closing October 15 as in past years. ’ L‘UREs FOR LOUDMOUTHS of bass: the largemouth and the smallmouth bass. The large- mouth is often called the green bass and the smallmouth is known to many as the black bass. Technically speaking, these are not bass at all, but are members of the sunfish family.

This time it would seem that everyone is finally getting hot on the idea and a comprehensive plan to obtain a swimming pool should result. May- be by this time next year you'll be able to wet your feet in a municipal pool â€"â€" with a little bit of luck! MORE SOFTBALL _. According to reports from the O.A.S.A. there will be more softball action in this area than ever before. Teams from around the area are hurrying to enter the various categories of O.A.S.A. pllaydowns "and the end result can only be a real treat for all died-in-the-wool softball fans. 1' FOOTBALL IN JULY M Football practice for the championship winning Richmond Hill Indians is scheduled to start in July.

At times it is impossible to get the bait to the bottom without having another bass on the hook. bass. Technically speaking, these are not bass at all. but are members of the sunfish family. Few angling thrills can com- pare with the Kersplash of a lunker largemouth smashing a surface lure as the silvery |spray flies in the moonlight ,and your heart leaps up into lyour throat. I Largemouths will readily take live bait with small frogs being real dynamite; especially if cast beside a patch of lilies or an old dead stump. If there are a lot of snags or weeds for the bass to run into. I would suggest hooking the frog through the lips and set the hook almost immediately after the strike. The bass takes a frog head first and if you hook it between the back legs, your line will often be hopelessly tangled before the bass has the frog down far enough to hook him. WHERE TO FISH The smallmouth is generally found on shoals or around rocky shorelines. He frequently inhabits the cool. shady waters under docks and boathouses, and can also be found at the drop-off out from sand and gravel beaches. Early in the season. look for the smallmouth along the shorelines or on the shallow shoals. and as the water warms on in the summer. fish the deeper shoals. In the fall of the year. he works his way back into the shallower waters again. His cousin, the largemouth; frequents warm and weedy waters such as one finds in in- land lakes and bays. Look for the largemouth around patches of lily pads. large weed beds and shallow, stump infested bays. METHODS OF FISHING Smallmouths will often hit a lure with gusto. but the majori- ty are taken on live bait. When fishing smallmouths with worms, use about a No. 4 beak hook with a couple of split shot well up the line from the hook..Hook the worm once or twice at one end and let the other end dangle. After casting out and letting the worm sink to the bottom. keep the bait moving by slowly retrieving, but pause every few seconds to let it settle. When you get a hit allow the fish to run giving it lots of time to get the worm down. before setting the hook. Largemouth bass will also strike artificials, but the most enjoyment and excitement can be had by fishing them with surface plugs after dark. Consider the three-point racing hydroplane. At wide open throttle it's almost air- borne. At times the propeller is the only part touching the water.

When enough speed is attained, the boat is lifted completely out of the water until it rides on only the foils. J. Addison M.P.

Following are excerpts from his opening address at the cer- emony. “Today marks the official opening of the Aurora Centen- nial and the Dominion Day weekend, the birthday of our confederation. Today the people of Aurora pass on to the next generation the torch of lib- erty and progress given by their fore-fathers. “We have here today a pro-‘ duct of the United States in‘ the American space capsule “Aurora 7”. It has been paid for by the people of the United States. In that nation, more than half their total budget is allocated for defence pur- poses because of the strange kind of world we live in. We Canadians spend less than one- quarter of our budget for the same purpose. But Canada has the highest old age security payments. in relation to nat- ional income, of any nation in the world. “This has been the fruit of our own efforts, yet we have paid a high price for these social measures. One of the ways we have adopted to find this money has been to -allow our Canadian industry be sold in large part to investors out- side this country. Correct Imbalance “We do not want to keep others from some participation in our development; we shall continue to, need outside cap- ital. But we must at the same time move to correct the imbal- ance by expanding our own Canadian investment in oursel- ves. By doing this. we shall at the same time provide for a continuation and improvement of the welfare and other meas- ures our people desire. “When the year 2063 arrives, one century hence and Aurora’s bicentennial year. will our country still be free and in- dependent? This ls an importâ€" ant question and one that will be resolved in the next few years. How it is resolved will depend upon Canadian determ- ination. “Already 60% of our man- ufacturing, 98% of the rubber industry. 97% of the automâ€" obile industry, 77% of the Correspondent: Mrs. Gordon Read AV. 5-4001 The combined Sunday school and U.C.W. picnic is to be held at the Graham farm.

Greater speed is certainly the most noticeable. But increased efficiency is al- so important. This means a boat equipped with hydrofoils can go faster and further on less fuel. A smoother ride is said to be another advantage. at least when the water is only moderately rough. In rough water, small hydrofoil boats operate at a disadvantage. And steering is a little tricky. Tight turns must be made at reduced speeds. At the present time hydrofoil boats can probably be most aptly described as futuristic ideas, says Brier. Although some are in use today. they are not without their limitations and drawbacks. But one thing’s for sure - if the present trend continues, you can expect to see a lot more of them in the future. u lull l Two Hill this an accid Elmer S aghy am The cl Beverley institute of the : number schools 1 safety p: He sh( ty is tau levels ii the area In th magnetit school a used as figures. show the students.
