The variety of designs submitted in answerto R. C. Crouse's puzzle of last issue indi-cates that a lot of heavy thinking took placeamong our readers, and many a deep newforehead furrow was ploughed. Some of theanswers were really ingenious, and we'd noidea there could be so many ways of plant-ing those 19 trees in a grove of nine straightrows with five trees in each row.

Here was the official answer as submittedby Mr. Crouse:

how it works, although the spacing may notbe too accurate on account of the difficultyof laying out the design in type.

Among the brainy customers who camethrough with this of some other smart solu-tion to the puzzle were Bruce Wilson ofMines, Howard House r of Port Colborne,The Boys of No. 2 Pilot Mill (who said theyhad no trees but worked it out with bubblesfrom their flotation circuit ), L. Couvrette ofLevack, " Mac" McIntosh of Port Colborne,Bill Becket of the Electrical Shop, E. H.Capstick of the Mill, Tom Fraser of Orford,Nick Treflak and Bill McCormick of Creigh-ton, P . J.

As for that niceyoung lab lady who is still trying to dope itout, we suggest she change from evergreensto willows-they 're easier to handle.

The one and only answer submitted toTamie came from E . H. Capstick of the Mill:the man in history who is supposed to havedied from fallen arches was Samson, whenhe pulled down the temple of the Phillistines.

Cliff StewartSays Make Your'Own Trout Flies

The really incurable fisherman, whosefriends and relatives sadly shake their headsand abandon all hope for his recovery, isthe one who ties his own trout flies.

He may be on the opposite side of the veilas far as other people are concerned, buthe is a very happy fellow, and we're inclinedto envy him. His fishing trips are infinitely'more interesting because he is constantlyobserving and studying insect life in linewith his hobby, and his catch is usuallybigger and better than average because heknows more about outwitting the finnydenizens of the lakes and streams.

The other night we spent a couple of hourswith Cliff Stewart, Open Pit superintendent,who has many hobbies and excels at them allbut likes making trout flies as well as any-. ,thing. To get really good at it, he told us,you must learn something about the eatinghabits of the fish you want to catch, so youcan dish him up a tempting morsel, and youmust also get wise to the life cycle of theinsects he eats so you can imitate them asclosely as possible when making your fly.

Since 90r- of trout fly patterns are basedon the May fly, the first step in becominga fly-tyer is to study the stages of its growth.From the egg comes the nymph which, asits wing case develops, becomes very agitated,,darting here and there, to surface and backto the bottom of the stream. When the wingcase splits the winged fly emerges and isknown as a dun: its wings are dull in color,usually gray. The dun molts and becomes aspinner, or imago. with different colored bodyand transparent, sparkling wings. Thefemale spinner lays her eggs on the surfaceof the water and dies as this is done. becom-ing what is known as a spent spinner.

-Even with that brief description," Cliffsaid, "you can see how the various stages inthe May fly's life give you a big field forcreating artificial flies. Once you becomefamiliar with the appearance of the fly ateach stage of its growth, you're all set tomake some imitations. Of course you can doit by looking at pictures or reading books,but you'll be much more successful if youhave actually studied the insect itself." aFish are selective as far as color is con-corned, Cliff explained. They can Zell the Idiffercnee not only between colors but alsobetween shades of color that the humaneye cannot detect, Since an expertly tied flyis a compromise at best. the fly tier is wiseto stud n i'torni fliesy .

In order to fish flies properly, of course,the fisherman must know what stage of de-velopment the fly is supposed to represent,so that he can effectively simulate its action.

Some of the Finished ProductsTurning to the desk holding the amazing

variety of materials he uses in making flies,Cliff selected half a dozen of his finishedproducts, hooked them lightly into hisfingers, and held them up for the camera.Some are merely attractors, which make noattempt to look like a natural fly, and othersare imitators, which are supposed to fool afish into thinking he's biting at the realMcCoy.

Some of the different types of trout flies,Cliff explained, are the streamer timitatesthe minnow), dry fly (imitates flies on thesurface of the water), wet fly (which is fishedunder water), nymph to wet fly imitating

The parts of an artificial fly, Cliff showedus, are: tip, butt, tail, joint, hackle, shoulder,wing, topping, horns, head, ribbing, throat, - ;y t "^'tag, cheek, and body hackle.. But all fliesdo not have all parts. A

Y

If you look back too much, you will soon beheading that way.

Nothing but money is what these three ;members of the Electrical Department at'Copper Cliff collected for bright ideas theysubmitted to the Suggestion Plan Com-mittee.

Art Edwardson (left) thought it would bea good idea for the line gang to use aportable rock drill for drilling post or anchorholes in areas inaccessible to a compressoroutfit, instead of doing the job by hand.'The Suggestion Committee quite agreed withhim, and voted him $160 for bringing thematter up. This tidy sum he is using to putit new roof on his permanent home on TroutLake. Which seems to us a fairly sensibleway of preparing for a rainy day.

Dick Jensen (centre) suggested moving theconverter hood limit switches in the Smelterfrom between the hood counterweight cablesto the floor, where, enclosed in boxes, theywould require much less maintenance. Thistoo was regarded by the Suggestion Com-mittee as a first-class hint, and they awardedit the neat sum of $82.00. With that kindof money Richard can open the door to hishome in Norway, which he hasn't visitedsince 1930. If he can't get passage bysteamer, he plans to fly; the Suggestion Planwill help him sprout the necessary wings.

His Eighth AwardGino Sylvestri (right) is better known as

Bill, and still better known as the man whohas picked off the following bundles of let-tuce under the Suggestion Plan: $10, $10,$19, $150. $25, $30. $5 . His latest achieve-ment is a $31 touch for a method of rein-forcing the resistance grids in cranes andother equipment where vibration causedbreakage. This donation. he says, will comein right handy when he and his wife takea jaunt to Toronto to visit relatives thissummer. In case he runs short of sugar,he also says, he has two or three more sug-gestions in the box. We must admit. in viewof his Suggestion Plan r e c o r d . we can'texactly blame Bill for c o u n t i n g a fewchickens before they are hatched,
