The Greater Omaha Guides ) HOME-MAKER’S CORNER ft— Week-End Catch By LOWELL JONES McClure Newspaper Syndicate. WNU Features. -'1 *‘/"\H, STOP laughing and help me get loose!” Sue wailed as she looked up into the mirthful eyes of the stranger. “I didn’t mean to make fun of you. but you do look queer stuck there in a foot of water,” he said, unfastening the seat of Sue’s mas culine trousers from the barbed wire fence running out into the lake. He helped her up and, as their hands touched, neither spoke. "You must be Pop Sorensen’s daughter and you’re seining minnows for the week end tourist rush. You don’t believe all that witchcraft about thunder storms, boat colors and such foolish ness, do you?” he asked. “I have faith in what Dad says. Our guests never go home empty handed and they think he’s the best guide around here,” she replied. "Well, your dad has scientific competition now,” he warned. She gathered up the two pails of live minnows and started back to Piny Point. She reproached herself for listening to the stranger’s talk, but there was something about his calm assurance and the gentle way he had helped her to her feet that held her interest. "There’s no way of getting around fisherman’s luck no new scientific tricks we don’t know about, are there, Dad?” she asked at dinner. “You’re darned tootin’ there ain’t. Say, you haven’t been talkin' to that aew guide, fresh out of the marines, feller named Ted Holbrook, have “I’m warning’ you to keep away from Susan.” you?” Sue felt the color rush to her cheeks. “Ah ha, I thought so. Well, see It don't happen again,” he warned. “The boy’s been farin’ pretty well, even ignorin’ all the signs a feller in his right mind ought to heed. But it’s all fisherman’s luck.” But Ted's luck didn’t change and, as the word spread that he was sending his guests home with full strings. Pop Sorensen lost a lot of business. On week-ends when Sue went out on the lake, she could see Ted and his guests in Ted’s new white boats and more than once her heart stood still when she knew he was watching her across the still water. One evening he appeared at the Sorensen cabin. “Howdy, Miss Sue,” he said. “We haven’t met much lately and 1 was wondering if you’d like to go to the dance with me Tuesday.” “Oh, Ted, you shouldn’t have come. I’d love to go with you, but Dad . . .” Just then Pop Sorensen stormed into the room. "I’m warnin' you to keep away from Susan and off my property, young feller.” he roared. "Anyone who's been sayin’ the things around town you have isn’t welcome on Piny Point.” "See here,” Ted proposed, “we ean prove who’s right and decide about the dance at the same time. I bet I send my week-end guests home with more fish than you do, Pop Sorensen. And if I win, Susan goes to the dance with me.’’ Saturday was gray at first and Ted’s party went into the lead as folks all around Chippewa Lake anx iously awaited the outcome. Later the sun came out During the aft ernoon Pop Sorensen’s luck changed and his boats began to fill with bass and sunfish. As they compared totals after din ner Ted’s party trailed by ten. "It’s just what I was sayin’, young feller, your beginner’s luck has changed. You got to abide by the tried and true rules to come out ahead in the long run,” Pop chided. Ted looked around for Sue but she was nowhere to be seen. "And if you’re huntin’ fer Susan, I don’t know where she went. You won’t be seein’ her after tomorrow’s haul is counted, anyway,” Pop add ed. Pop Sorensen, sure his fisherman’s luck had changed the day before, was dumbfounded to learn at dusk that Ted was ahead two sunfish in the two-day total. “That’s a pretty slim margin,” Ted observed as he stood with Sue on the Piny Point dock. “There must be something in old-fashioned fisherman’s luck, aft er all. But we'll never leave any thing to chance again, you and-1,” he said, taking her hands in his as she looked fondly up at him. “Say, what’s this on your hands. Sue?” “Oh, that . . . that’s just some green paint that wouldn’t come off," she answered. "Your white boats looked so terribly bright when the sun came out yesterday, and paint ing even the bottoms after dark is a messy job." 9 A Glamour Cake is a Sure Way to Win Enthusiastic GI Compliments IF you are one of the war brides yearning to register as a queen cook when your serviceman hus band returns, it’s good strategy to concentrate on baking a luscious cake.
