F French River, Ontario, accord-
ing to J. G. Strathdee, who runs the
French River Bungalow Camp at
this Ontario resort, that he and his
mother, while paddling down the
River, past the golf course, struck a
muscalunge at least four feet long
which was sunning itself near the
surface of the water. The muskie,
whicn was as surprised as the canoists,
leaped several feet out ot the water,
then vanished from view.

French River station is on the
Canadian Pacific Railway, 215 miles

the main channel of the French River
and within 200 yards or the station.
In addition to the Bungalow Camp,
an outlying sub-camp is situated at
Pine Rapids, at the head of Lighteen
Mile Island, inthe heart of the best
fishing waters of the upper French
river.

It has as an adjunct Pine Rapids
Camp, which is 25 miles up the river.
These two camps accommodate
ninety people, and there are plenty
of fish—muscalunge, Great Northern
pike, pickerel, and small and large
mouth black bass. There are thirty

Here is a tale told by Mr. Strath-
dee, about a “muskie” with a tooth«
ache, In August, this big fresh water
tiger needs a fish dentist. Last year
a visitor to French River hooked a
80-pourider which immediately drop-
ped to the bottom of the river and
sulked. The knowing Indian guide
tapped the rod with his knife; the
vibrations went through -tne pole,
down the line to the mouth of the
“muskie’, and irritated one of its
sore teeth. The muskie then leaped
clear of the water, and proceeded to
give tne fisherman a fierce EEL last-

At the regular meeting of Poplar
Manor Women’s Institute, held on May
9, Mrs. T. D. Smith was appointed re-
presentative of the Institute to the

A flower show, concert, lecture on
educational topics, and installation of
a radio were among the matters con-
sidered in relation to future programs.
