Sports fish return to Spanish River Six months after many of its fish were killed by a serious chemical spill, the Spanish River -- one of Northern Ontario's better known fishing streams - is returning to normal. "'Surveys of the river show encouraging signs of recovery, but to help things along, plans are being made to stock a million yellow pickerel (walleye) fry below the E.B. Eddy Company dam at Espanola. We'll follow this with another million in both 1985 and 1986," Natural Resour- ces Minister Alan Pope said recently. He said sport and commercial fishing along the Spanish Riv- er, as well as the spring spawning runs, will be carefully monitored. "The ministry's fisher- ies staff is confident the river's many species of sports fish will continue to reproduce naturally. But since pickerel is the dominant sport fish spe- cies in the river we're concentrating on them,"' Mr. Pope said. He said smallmouth bass will be stocked also over the next three years in selected areas of the river. Mainstream Canada Dyed-in-the-wool government waste by W. ROGER WORTH The auditor general, Kenneth Kye, A goodly man, but not found them wanting, For our government, the results were haunting. A learned reviewer might call that atrocious verse, but then, I make no pretense of being a poet. In his own way Ken- neth Dye, Canada's Auditor General, is a reviewer. He and: his staff review the federal government's books and accounting procedures to ensure that all of us can understand that our tax dollars are being reasonably spent. In his latest report to taxpayers, Dye gave the government's book- keepers a disastrous re- view. In fact, it was so bad the Auditor Gen- eral claims the num- bers are out by a whop- ping $20-billion. In real terms, it is a bit like claiming on a credit application your expenditures are $20,000 when they're really much, much more. Bankers doing a credit check would not be amused. Yet the government of Canada gets away with such inaccurate report- ing, and has been for years. How can this be? The country's Finance Minister says it is a "technical matter," and disagrees with the Audi- tor General's criticisms. So nothing is done. There can be no dis- agreement, however, on "some of the blunders Dye emphasized in his report. How to explain, for example, the $350,000 that Ottawa lost on a New Brunswick motel loan guarantee. The properly, which had been appraised at $500,000, was sold at auction for $200 in 1982. The buyer resold the motel a day later for $75,200. A bizarre inci- dent indeed. Then there is the case of the office space. Late in 1983, the federal government started pay- ing rent at the rate of $12-million per year on an Ottawa office tower that won't be used until 1984, At the same time, the government owns or rents space worth $7.7- million per year in the same city that isn't be- ing used. Still Ottawa isn't the only culprit when it comes. to wasting mon- ey. In Ontario, the pro- vincial auditor says the government's Waste Management Corpora- tion spent $16,722 on 22 chairs, or an average of $761 per seat. But when it comes to continued on page 16 Spillane. in anyway.

"Propane is a_ safe and convenient fuel pro- vided it is stored and handled according to regulations under the Propane Code," says Consumer Minister Dr. Robert Elgie. Propane vapor is heavier than air and if released in a building where it isn't readily dispersed will settle in a low area. The smallest ~oark or flame can set it off. All propane cylind- ers, such as those used for gas barbecues, should be left outdoors at all times. Keeping a cylinder in a garage is also dangerous. Regulations for ind- ustry are more complex. Propane cylinders may be stored in a spe- cially designed room fit- ted with a sealed door and explosion relief to outside the building. In special cases where por- tability is required, such as a propane torch, they may be connected for use indoors as outlined Largest Terminal The world's third largest wheat exporter, Australia, ranks be- hind only the United States and Canada.

However, propane tanks, which are gener- ally larger than cylin- ders, may never be in- stalled or stored inside a building.
