Ice fishing is a common pastime in North Simcoe as demonstrated by two Port McNicoll devotees of the sport. Mike Kosecky in the shack talks over the days results with John Lisowski. Whitefish and pike are usually taken in good numbers.

This photo appeared in the same edition of the Free Press Herald on page 14 with the caption below. The long lines of standing rail cars were due to a strike by CPR rail employees which had started on January 2nd. The strike was ended by an act of Parliament on January 11th.
