HUNTING AND FISHING
STORY CONTEST ....

Remember when the A.S.
announced a HUNTING AND FISH-
ING STORY CONTEST sponsored
by the Rod & Gun Club - that
was in the September issue.

Well, it's now April and
‘the winner of the contest

has been announced. .
Bill ''carp-to-carp wal let-

ing'' Dobie was presented with
a trophy during the recent
Rod & Gun Club meeting. Hon-
ourable mention went to Tom
Soukup on his story about

the ''kidney-kid'' bear.

The delay in presenting
the trophy which many people
have almost forgotten was
due to a combination of

‘difficulties. The judges
‘had to decide, there was a
tle; trophy was ordered;

and the frequency of this
publication, were just some
of these problems. For those
who are left wondering just —
how the stories read, we are
reprinting both below.

Dobie on his winning, and

Congratulations to Mr.

The following ts a story
told by an Anglican Bishop
who spent many years in
northern Ontario mintstering
to the Indians.

It seems that the hero of
our story was a very clever

.young man who had studied hard

at school and. now was attend-
ing university to become an
electrical engineer.

He was spending his summer
vacation visiting his family
up north on the reservation.
On the final day of his vaca-

to pick it up a larae carp
picked it up in its mouth and
many thanks to all contestant swam off a short distance

-s for entering their storie- with it, .

very much enjoyed.

Tropny" to
winner

Btll Dopte.

He reached into the water
again in an attempt to grab
the wallet from the carp's
mouth, but just as his fingers
were about to grasp the wallet
the carp passed it to anoth-
er carp.

After several hours, he
finally was able to grasp his
wallet and to his great
relief retrieved it.

After arriving back at
school he was talking with
some of his fellow students
and they all related where
they spent their vacations,

tion he went down to the river What they did, and so on.

to fish. Fishing and huntina
were the things he loved to
do.

While standing on the»river
bank he noticed a number of
large carp swimming idly
around and he bent over to get
a better look at them. As ‘he
did so, his wallet which was
in his shirt pocket, fell into
the water, and it was very
important that he retrieve it

- because it contained all his

plane tickets and money to ao
back to university. So he
reached into the water to get
it, but just as he was about

When he told about spend-
ing his vacation with his:
family and friends on the
reservation away up in the
north, one of his friends
remarked that it must be
very primitive with none of
the so-called better things
of life,

Our hero replied, "0h,
it's not so bad, you see, up
at our reservation we have
Carp-to-carp wal leting''.

a later date.)
