At this time of the year, with hundreds of people fishing through the ice on “The Kettle” and on Johnson’s Bay, the discussion naturally arises as to whether or not it is a harmful practice. Those who fish, claim that it does not hurt summer fishing, and others who do not live at the lake in the winter time, claim that ft injures fishing, because so many ‘fish are caught during the winter time that these fish, full of eggs, cannot breed. However, employes of the Conservation department claim that the ... number of fish which are caught through the ice and reported each winter, is greatly exaggerated. They claim that from actual observation, hundreds may be fishing, but that only a few are actually catching fish. Those who do fish, many of them farmers, say that during the winter is the only time that they have for fishing, for in the summer they are too busy with farm 4rork. They also say that most any time of the year, eggs can be found in fish. Ono suggesttion which has been made to the local Conservation club j is to close Johnson's Bay and the Kettle to ice fishing, and to permit those who like to fish through the . ice, to put out as many pike lines as they like, letting these lines remain in the water overnight. Those who suggest the plan state the fun of ice fishing would be combined with removing predatory fish from the lake. WINTER SPORTS WILL PAY The growing interest in the sport of ice boating in this community deserves the support of everyone. Interest in ice boats is growing, and every week sees someone else become afflicted with the desire to own a boat. Last week, one of those “infected with the bug* purchased a commercially manufactured boat. It will bo the first boat not “home made* to be pat into service in this community. Others are expected to follow. This means that summer residents of Lake Wawasee will come to their homes In the winter time to enjoy this sport. They will spend money, bore, and merchants, mechanics, monos odd jobs, the coal men—in fact every one will benefit if the sport is made to grow and develop. What would it mean to this community if a huge ice carnival were to be held on Lake Wawasee? Anyone can readily see that it - would mean money. An Ice carnival would help tide this community over the deadly, frosen, unprofitable winter months which now exist. A carnival is not sn impossibility, either. Some cups, donated to act as stimuli to the encouragement of ice boating might easily become a profitable investment for this community The Administration feels that the government should pay to the farmers the money which it contracted to pay under the AAA. A Contract is a contract, certainly—but what of the ones who had gold promisee, winch the government refused to pay? When is a promise, a promise? When its good politics to remember to keep it.

A FEW HINTS FOR THE CAKEMAKER Cake-making is one of the most complex fields of cookery, says Miss Eva L Buel, extension nutritionist of Purdue University. Good cooks that trade recipes always give the ingredients and the amounts, but seldom give the little tricks of technique which they use is mixing the ingredients. The right temperature is one of the essential points in successful mixing of the cake batter. Um room temperature for best results. At this temperature the fat is workable and need not be • creamed before the is added. Cakes fall hoc anas too much anger has been added or it has not hewn mixed well enough, rather than because it contains too much fat. Too much baking powder causes arewibiin—, a coarse texture, and an undesirable flavor, and in many cases results in a fallen cake. ■ Cake failures, when the anxiety for a good cake is great, are often caused by overbeating. Tunnels, a small volume, and a smooth, unbrowned top are characteristics of such a cake , • Eggs beat more readiy at room temperature. Rubbery cakes are due to either too much wg or underbeating of the eggs. Overbeating of eggs is another cause of crambHsesa.

CANADA TO DROP itsccccamps Found That Camps are "Hotbeds” of Communism—Youths There a Loee Their Ambition. OTTAWA, Ontario —Canada’s unemployment relief camps, where from &0,000 to 40,000 young single men have been earning their keep and 20 cents a day by building roads and airports for the last four years are to be gradually abolished by the dominion government. The camps were established throughout Canada in 1932 in an effort to solve the unemployment problem among single youths living in large urban centers. The idea proved popular. In the last two years the csmps have been a “happy hunting ground" to communists for fomenting trouble and the scene of many riotous disturbances. The government's first move In the scheme to abolish the camps will be to transfer them from the supervision of the department of national defense to the labor department. Millions of dollars have been expended in the maintenance of the relief camps during the last two years. The 20 cents a day allowed the youths for luxuries alone cost tax payers $1,500,000 a year and millions were spent on food, clothing, bedding, fuel and other necessities. Since the camps were inaugurated about 70,000 single, homeless unemployed men have obtained relief. About 40,000 have been dropped for various reasons. Many stayed for a few months only. Hundreds have drifted from one camp to another. The chief complaint against the camps has been that tens of thousands of young Canadians were bearded together, prevented from living a normal life and deprived of ambition. , The youths themselves grew more and more discontented with their monotonous existence in the camps and were willing victims to communistic agitation. The discontent blossomed into a series of riots in Saskatchewan and British Columbia, scene of the largest camps and the abortive “hunger March" to Ottawa last summer.

MISTORY OF SYRACUSE SETTLEDIN 183 S "* * 111 1 The following is taken from the history of Syracuse and ’Lake Wa- , wasee, compiled by George W. , Miles, and printed in the Syracuse Journal weekly, in 1909: In connection with the question of whether the Baltimore & Ohio railroad company can be compelled to ‘ open away for the passage of boats ! through The Channel, the story of i the first steamboat that was ever run on our lake will be of interest. It was of size sufficient to carry 50 or 60 passengers, and belonged to Martin Hillabold, and it ran in the early times of the war—about 1862. It had a disagreeable habit of getting people to the farther end of the lake and then breaking down, , or refusing to work and failing to get them home again—much such a bad habit have many of the costly gasoline launches of the present time. Old timers remember particularly one excursion party of which Hon. Joseph H. Defrees was a member. Somehow the steamboat had won the confidence of its owner and engineers, and a cheerful party of a few men and a goodly number of women were hastily got together to enjoy a ride on it. Mamas, some of them war widows, left their kitchens and their little ones to enjoy the sport and joined the party, expecting to return in an hour or two. But alas! the boat’s promise to reform had been fraudulent, and intended to deceive. It got them far up on the “big lake” and then sat deliberately down, and kept them there. Nor did the pleadings of the 1 women and the tearful tales of crying babies at home affect it in the least. The men of the party labored and belabored, but effected nothing. And the coming on of night had no effect on the stubborn boat, which quietly sat on the water and refused to butigeu I do not know how the party were finally rescued, but they did not reach their homes till 1 or 2 o’clock of the following morning, until which time the town was uncertain whether the boat had been sufficiently criminal to carry the whole of them to the bottom of the lake. After that, this steamboat was unable to ever regain the confidence of the people of the town, and. it fell into disuse. But old timers still remember it well, and at least two of them, Mrs. Oliver Cromwell and Mrs. Ed. F. Holloway, who were of the party I have told you about, would be quite willing to testify in any court that there was a steamboat on the lakes here as early as 1862. And further as to the question of whether Wawasee is navigable water. Over in Michigan the courts have held that streams down which logs were floated were navigable though they were too small to float boats. Oh! the great rafts of logs that Mart Hillabold and his men used to bring from the upper end of Wawasee through the channel to his saw mill at the foot of Pearl street! Hundreds of them, held together 1

with pdles stapled fast to them, and propelled with other poles in the hands of the men who Wood upon them. And such logs! Great black walnuts and poplars and oaks with diameters of five and six feet and even seven feet—such logs as will never in all the world be seen in these parts again. Unless, indeed one of them shall be brought up from the bottom of the lake. For sometimes thqse rafts encountered storms that drove them out into the wild waters of the lake, where the waves broke them up, while the men took to their boats for safety, and some of the heavier oaks and walnuts sank to the bottom, where many of them still lie, bedded in the ooze and marl I have no doubt. The second steamboat on the lake was called the Modac, and was owned and operated by John Egbert, now of the Sanders & Egbert Co., of Goshen. That was in 1875, the year after the railroad had closed The Channel with its bridge. It was of size similar to the first one, and of not dissimilar construction. But it was more faithful disposition and seldom refused to go, or to make an honest attempt to do so. But its engine was small and weak, and was at times unable to hold it against a strong wind. It ran on the smaller lake for a part of the summer, but there being hardly enough people here to give it a profitable business had each of them ridden on it every day, a thing which, of course, each of them could not do, along in Julf it was in some way taken over or under the bridge and for the rest of the season it ran on the larger lake. I have no record of it after that. All I know'is that Mr. Egbert retired ■tfrom the steamboat business and became a druggist in Goshen, and afterwards a lumberman, much to his own profit I am certain. And then within a year of two, Capt. Abr.ham Jones, who had first associated with him, Mr. Thomas Doll, built the Roxy, the first steamboat on the lake with power sufficient to give re sonable assurance that if you went up the lake on it you could likewise come down again. And when this boat had outlived its usefulness, Mr. Jones had built its successor, the Anna Jones, a much larger boat, that remained,, in commission until two or three years ago. At the time of thv building of his hotel at Vawter Park (and that was in 1885) Captain John T. Vawter placed on the lake the Gazelle, a beautiful and well appointed boat, that also continued in commission gExpbunthemuvdooairafanf ! Tnatmmt which is bringing f amrelief.

until two yean ago. Tha Gazaue could accommodate 100 or xaoru pMk sengen and in its time was much admired. Later (in what year Ido not know) Capt. Ed Rosson put in commission his boat, .the Wawasee, and still later Geo. Lamb and Jos. P. Moore brought from, somewhere the American Girl, with her steel huM, and these two are still in commission. But with the improvement of gasoline launches, of which there are many more than 100 on the lake, the steamboat business has grown ! unprofitable, I There was still another steamboat lon the lakes that I have not told I you of. In the early 90’s it was put 'on the lake here by half dozen of the town’s business men who hoped to help the business of the town by running it to the bridge where it met Mr. Jones’ boat for the transfer of passengers. But the trouble of transferring people across the railroad, and the uncertain connections there, proved obstacles that prevented the success of the business. This was the third and last steam boat to be tried on the small lake. In the times when the only passenger boats were propelled by sterm, the people of the town were little disposed to agitate the opening of the bridge for them, for a swinging bridge would then have been necessary. But now that gasoline launches have taken the place of the steamboats, and all necessary to permit them to traverse The Channel freely would be to'slightly raise the present bridge, the expense of which would be no more than five or six thousand dollars, the railroad must be compelled to restore to us this old passage way between the lakes. And that it will shortly be compelled to do so I have not the slightest doubt. a MAIL DELAYED. Mail was delayed in arriving in Syracuse, Tuesday morning, as the , rear axle of the truck on the “Star* mail route, broke .right in front of the postoffice in Cromwell, and the ' mail had to be brought on to Syracuse in a touring car.
