Campers Return From Canada With Fish Tales and Tales of Bears
Deputy Register of Wills William C Taylor heads a party of eight that spent two weeks fishing around Ontario lakes near Lake of Bays in Canada. They traveled by wagon and motorboat with four French guides, tainted by porcupine raids and frost on July 17. They reported abundant deer and a lone bear, and a woodsy life of fishing, eating, and sleeping in the ozone. Leon Le Bay in Alaska sent Taylor a pair of mucklocks and a walrus tusk as a souvenir.
