Juliani Aho (1861—1921), spn
cf a pastor, was a consiunmate
master of two arts: story-telling
and fly-fishing '^In ihy deepest

more a fisherman than a writer.
My literary passion dies when the

"My First Fishing Pdle," the
flrst of Aho's famed fishing
sketches which he fervently hop- :
ed would someday be translated
into English, is presented here as
an adaptation prepared by Pro-feisor
John L Kolehmainen, Tlf-fin,

Mi3ii£takable (^mphasis: "OI course
''Oas in our houae can manage that."
Patiher has understood my plea; to-niorrow
ihe -vvill fulfill my Wish.
The next morning doesn't begin
auspiciously. I follovv father like a
puppy. He goes . to the storehouse,
tiikes out a bag of seed to sow a
nearby field. I offer to carry th.e
vooden sovving box. iPather steps
lolsurely from, one furrow to another:
I step courageously in his tracks even
though clods and stubble hurt my
bare feet. The field slopes toward a
•lake; lt's a tranquil morning and the
fish are splashing among the reeds.
When father refiils the seed contain-er.
I remark: ".'yi, how the fish are
gambtoling there." Father admits that
they appear to be doing just that.
V/hen we reach the head of another
fuiTow I climb on a fence and observe,
"Pekka's fishing agam by the bridge."
Father begins. to \vhittle, paring off
the bark. •'Whatis father whittlmg?"
"Oh, I'm just a-whittling." "May I
have it?" It*s a sort of wooden ball
the size of my thumb-tip with a'
slender stick though the center.
Father iinished his sowing and we
retum to the yard. He sits down and
is about to smoke but can't find his
matches. I dart off to fetch some and
light his pipe. He looks at me along
the pipe's stem, squintmg one eye,
but saying not a word. This a good
omen, I recall, for he always does
this vvhpn a pleasant thought crosses
his mind. But vhen Matti, the hired
hand, takes a sliarp-toothed harrow
to the field, father calls after him,
•Don't pasture the gelding : when
you're through.". My throat tightens.
Father apparently isn't going to make
my fishing pole today. No doubt he
has forgotten ali aljout it. Perhaps
he doesn*t even know how.
Nonetheless I follovv. him to his
study. He seats himself at his desk,
vvhich has a curtain-enclosed book-shelf
on one end and.tool chests on
the other. On the former are hLs
Bibles, Testaments, and manuscnpts,
v-hich one dares not touch. In the

chests are his secular tools: hammers,
chisels, pliers, drills. bits, and knives
of every description. ,
Father reflects. He draws a long
puff on his pipe, puts it on a shelf,
and ojiens the plier drawer. He selects
the two smallest ones. Prom a second
drawer come a small brass anvil and
a tiny hammer; from other recept-r.
cles emerge a sharp-pointed knife'
and a file as thln as a spring. He al-ways
uses these tools in repalring
v/all clocks. What's he up to now?
He finds a roll of brass wire, and
having fixed his glasses on his nose
(something he does only when fix-
Ing the finest clocks-, he cllps off a
piece. He lays ^ it on the anvil and
tappmg with his hammer flattens one
or.d. What wonder is in the making?
Father"s fashioning a hook, thafs
what! He tests the point and the barb
\vith his fingertip. He.lets me try too:
the barb is really Sharp, hke the point
cf a needle.
Father frowns over his glasses and
asks: "Bo you pian to catch roach or
perch?" "Roach and perch!" I res-ponded
eagerly. ''Yes, but slnce the
roach has a small mouth/ the hook
should be small, on the other hand,
the perch has a large mouth, so the
hook should be large — vhat about
that?" 'Father will make it exactly
ar. he thinks best." I was overjoyed
at being asked for guidance. "Shall
We make it in between, not too large,
not too small?" "Lefsdo it that way."
I replied, and my pride again mount-ed.
With his pliers father bends the
wire into the shape of a hook. He
forms an eyelet. Then holding it Ih
Lont of his nose, he asks: "WiU this
do?" I nod my head approvingly.
Excellent, it shines like gold.
Father" .meditates a momcnt, then
prepares to refill his pipe. He knocks
out the cold ashes, puts fresh t^bacco
into' the bowl, lights it, draws long
puff s which he sends whirling toward
the ceiling and at my request at me
He now places the hook into. the
bowl, pressing firmly around itwith
his thumbnail. "Ahaa," I say though
I have no idea why this is belng done.
: hope fcr the best, fear the worst.
After a while father removes the red-hot
hook, dunks it in a basin of wat€r
v/here it sizzles and turns bT0wnlsh-green.
An Involuntary laugh escapes
me, and father smiles too as he com-ments,
'-Look, my little rogue, vhafs
ha.ppened to its color." The hook was
now fiiiLshed: A.mäd haste 8wept oyer
me to get it at once into a lake. into

TV VyRESTLERS PUT ON
AN ELABORATE SHOW
By TOM MCEWEN
By virtue of the labors of my son
Normie, the McEwcn houseiiold re­cently
acquired a TV. On the. install-ment
pian of course, which is pro-b^
ly one of the greatest sportlng
features of this age.
Wlth the aid of tliis TV I have been
brought closer to the .sportlng World,
or to be more precise I should say
sport has been brought closer to me.
Either way, I find I am becomlng a
confirmed addict of one purlicular
TV weekly feature, wrestling; At lejist
tl:at's what they call it;
Each Staurday night I find my­self
.seated and awaiting "The Main

The Mlssus heads for the kilchen or
somewhere out of TV range, whJle the
rest of the family move coutlously
around as if in fear of running foul
of one of Ali Pasha's deadIy"cobras"!

If thero are rules they go through the
