AN IDEAL PLAYGUOUND Ontario i.-- luc.-sed with many beau- tiful spot-* where wearied shut-ins may get a breath of natural air and wander ah.ns: wu'.frways or skim over inland watera and fish fur the elus- ive finny tribes durinj; the hot July and August weather. Amonij.all the thousands of spots where nature Ivr.ipts to recreation we b«lieve none can excel the Bruce pen- insula, which in the.sc days of motor travel is easy of access with a few hours' run. To the people of Bruce and Grey counties this is e:*pecially convenient. Three or four hours will take you to Lions Head, the centre of the farming community, and which really constitutes the jninping-off place from civilization to the wilder- ness of rocks, lakes and small streams. Here it is but six miles across the peninsula from G'.»orgian Bay to Lake Huron, and through the centre, clear to Tobermory, runs a ITOod motor road, which this year is traversed by innumerable tourists. From Wiarton this road leads through Mar, LioriK Head (on the side) and Miller Lake to Tobermory. .A.11 al- ong this route are many small lakes which team with black bass, and on the Lake Huron side many bays exist where canipip" parties can find fine bathing and fishing grounds. It is 34 miles north from Lions Head to the end of the Bruce jjeninsula, and every foot of the way is of great scenic beauty. For miles at a time one may travel over this highway and never see a human habitation, only woods, rocks, 'burns," small streams and glimpses of blue lake. All water courses north of Lions Head run to Lake Huron. At the "Tub" .there is good accommodation for tourists. Last week wt had the pleasure of a trip to Lions Head and Pike Bay. At the latter place we found an ideal camping, bathing and fishing ground, SO.ME I'ETTV THIEVING A number of casts of petty trievingr have been drawn to our attention rec- ently, small acts that in themselves are not a great loss to the victims; but nevertheless they hate to be caught in sucli a manner. One of these was at Roy Pipers on the west back line when a thief entered his granary in the barn and helped himself to about twenty-five bushels of grain, and as part pay on the transaction left a grain bag, maybe by mistake. With people like that aiound a community a person is hardly safe from their depredations and if caught, should be severely punished. Plan To Conserve Grey County Fish Want Fishing Season From April 1 To August 15 ASSOCIATiON" FORMED Condemn Present System Of Dumping Fish Into The Streams and Lakes (Durham Review) Sportsmen from all over Grey Coun- ty, to the number of 80, were present Lat the meeting in the Town Hall on Wednesday afternoon and formed the Grey County Fish and Game Protect- ive Association. The meeting, which was presided over by Dr. D.Jamieson, M. P. P., a member of the Fish and Game Committee of the Legislative .Assembly, was a most enthusiastic gathering, and the organization form- ed should prove an effective instru- ment to aid in the protecting of riv- ers and streams in this locality and 're-stoeking them with fish. The officers elected were as made in streams, but later Mr. T. Al- lan countered him on this point, when he said six cans of fry were taken by one man at Diirham station and dump- ed into the Rotky at Glenroaden bridge, a height of ten feet. There was no inspector in charge of these fry, the Durham man pointed out, though Mr. McBride stated an inspec- tor always accompanied shipments. At the invitation of Dr. Jamieson, many of the visiting .sportsmen visit- e<l his game preserve at Wilder's Lake and were delighted with what they saw there. CEYLON follows: with a few cottages, tents and a sum- President â€" Mayor Snetsinger, Thorn- mer hotel. Some of this camping ground had been pre-empted by a happy family party from Markdale and Toronto, including Hon. I. B. Lucas, Mr. .Johnston Lucas and Mr. • T. Berry, with their families. They are enjoying the time of their lives fishing and bathing, and nature here is not crowded with humanity as it is at some of the "beaches." The bath- ing is as fine as it is atWasaga, and the black bass are just waiting to be hooked, as our friend, Mr. Tom Berry, can prove to the satisfaction of Doubt- ing Thomases. For ourselves, if we had a whole summer to spare from toil and only pleasure to think about, that whole summer would be put in up on the Bruce peninsula. DUMPING OF FRY A week or so ago 50,000 trout fry were placed in the hydro pond by the Game and Fisheries Department. Those who know say this fry might] as well have been dumped on the ground, for all the benefit they will be. When the big fellows at that point get through feeding on them Bread Lunches -- Bully!

The membership fee to the Associa- tion *as placed at a $1.00 and many have already joined. The county will likely be divided into districts, while the whole executive will be used to form by-laws governing fish and game matters for the County. Want Fishing Dates Changed The matter of closing the streams for two or three years to protect the fish, was not mentioned, but it was decided to memorialize the govern- ment to change the fishing season from April 1st to Aug. 15th for Grey County. Some wanted it closed on Aug. 1st, in order to more thoroughly preserve the spawn. The government will also be petitioned to appoint more game inspectors and the meet- ng went on record, though there were some red hot dessenters, to have the government game preserve at Kugenia thrown open to the public. The Eugenia preserve was a live topic and Messrs Hartman, Munshaw, PetHar. McTavish, Latimer and others all took part in a lively discussion. The vote taken however, does not mean that the government will be asked to through open the reserves. The advisibilily of that step will be left to the Association newly formed. M. M. McBride, M. P. P. of Brant- ford; Mr. Black. M. P. P. of Adding- ton and Deputy Minister Rapsey of the Game and Fisheries, were present and gave addresses. How To Raise Fry Mr. lleimbecker gave the meeting the benefit of his experience in rais- ing trout. His method was to keep the trout fry in pools' for the first summer and feed them with liver and meat entrails. Out of 100 fry ex- perimented on in this manner, 90 per cent had lived, and after a season were from 4 to 7 inches long. He declared the present system of dump- ing fry into the streams was ab.sol- utely no good. Mr. Front of Owen Sound agreed with him and said the .system of throwing the fry into the Sydenham river bad not been successful but the tank system now in vogue was work- ing satisfactory. Mayor .Snetsinger of Thornbury, the new President of the Association stated that by throwing trout fry in with suckers, they woud live but not produce, as suckers destroy the spawn He advised bass and pickerel mixings tor ^'t!\nding water Indies. He wsnt- ed nil slrenms free to tlie public. M. .M. McBride, M. P.
