Chapter 2
When Nat awakened, he was
at fir s t surprised at his
surroundings. It was a minute
or so before he adjusted to the
events of the day before and
became aware that he was at
the Lodge
He dressed in the old fishing
clothes he had worn the day
before when he had stumbled
on this place
He went to the main hall of
the Lodge to find about 20
people there. Phil detached
himself from Gene, who had
been talking to him and came
over to Nat.
“ Just in time for breakfast.
Afterwards, you, Gene, and I
w ill go down to the Hut pool.
There should be a good hatch
today. Do you have any small
Ginger Quills?"
“ Mine may not be exactly
like the Ginger Quills you
know,” replied Nat. “ 1 tie my
own Long ago I quit using
strips of flight quill for dry fly
wings Mine all have hackle tip
wings.”
“ You w ill find others here
who agree with you once you
get better acquainted That is a
beautiful Orvis you have. It is a
three weight, isn’t it.”
“ Yes, I just got it this year. It
is a beautiful rod to use once
you get your tim ing adjusted to
the slow action.”
Gene had wandered over and
joined the two. “ I have an old
Hardy that I use all the time.
With a once a year overhaul, it
has kept just like it originally
was.” In keeping w ith his
massive build, Gene's voice
boomed through the great hall.
“ We have a great collection of
fine rods here at the Lodge. You
are welcome to use any of them
at any time. A ll of them are
fitted with matching lines You
w ill find Edwards, Thomas,
Leonard,
Uslan,
F a rlo w ,
Hardy, and Ritz, as well as
Phillipson, and some classic old
Grangers on the rack.”
“ I am afraid I ’ll not be here
that long,” Nat answered.
“ Nonsense,” Gene boomed.
“ You w ill put off leaving until

Phil interrupted “ Lets eat
and get to fishing or we w ill
miss the best part of the
morning's fishing." With that,
he led the way to the dining
room.
Once on the stream, Phil led
the way downstream to the Hut
pool The stream came off a
riffle on a slight curve into a
long deep pool. A rock at the
foot of the riffle diverted the
stronger current back to the
opposite side of the pool where
it ran dark and smooth along a
cut bank At the tail of the pool a
broad gravelly beach extended
back from the near side. At the
rear of this gravelly stretch,
stood a quaint eight sided one
room shelter.
When Nat firs t glimpsed the
hut, he was tempted to shout
out, “ I ’ve seen this place

Armed with a batch of fluorescent
“Turn Off the Light" stickers and the
PGE Watt Watchers Guide. Mr. and Mrs.
Don Schmeiser began a test period
to see if they could really save watts
and dollars.
They turned down their heating from
72° to 68° and found it comfortable
They cut down on TV watching and
remembered especially to turn it off
when they left the room They cut the
use of major appliances. Mrs.
Schmeiser even began drying her
clothes outside again on nice days
And of course, the kids helped by
reminding each other to turn off the
electricity when it wasn t being used.
The results? The Schmeisers not only
cut their electric usage by 30 7%. but also
found a guaranteed formula for saving
watts in the future
"I believe the things we’ve done are
what every family can do. and be able
to see the results right away!"
And see the results, they did!
The Stavers are successful and
conscientious watt watchers.
The first thing they did was turn
down their water heater 10° Next. Mrs.
Staver began a quick n easy collection
of no-bake cookie recipes to try out
on her two young children (Dad loved
them, too!) She also put a three
second time limit on the refrigerator
door being open
Besides using less hot water at bath
time and air drying their washed
clothes, the Stavers also insulated the
heating pipes under the house
But the thing I feel made the most
difference? Mrs Staver revealed, "is
not turning on the hot water during the
day You d be surprised how little you
really need
If people don t start saving electricity
now they re liable to be without
it later on?
The McCaffertys know how important
saving electricity is: "When you ve
got a two-level, six-bedroom house and
three teenagers, you know you've got
your work cut out for you
So while Mrs McCafferty cut down
on the oven, dishwasher washer and
dryer use. the rest of the family helped
out by limiting their use of
conveniences
They eliminated the use of the air
conditioner entirely No radios were
left on There was no TV watching
before 6 30 pm They took short
showers instead of baths (' saves about
half the hot water")
We even had a general rule in force
where a person would be fined a dime
for leaving the lights on in the room'"
I don t want to lose my electricity
this winter Mrs McCafferty concluded
Everybody s going to have to help to
make watt watching work.
