THE FLESHERTON ADVANCE WEDNESDAY, JULY 12, 1933 â-  ( • â-  : : I : i;; I.: t: \ * J)i$ciissed Problems •f Troat ConservatioD Dr. Arthur B. James, president oi the Ontario Anglf^Tii' Federation spoke before a gathering of angHng enthusiasts in the town hall on {"^ri. day evening. Dr. James touched on the problem of the disappearing ol game fish from the streams and lakea of Ontario and suggested remedies to prevent the total disappearance of these lish, especially of the speckled trout, bes« and muskeionge. During his address Dr. James stat- ed that one of the main causes of the disappearance of trout from the streams was the cutting down of swamps and underbrush along creeks, causing the water in the streams to become warm. Erosion of the banks takes place and, as trout will not live in wurm water, they disappear. Other causes of the disappearance ot game fish was that of the pollution of streams by refuse being dumped, which kills the food of the fish. The catching of fish under the seven inch legal limit is another of the main causes of the depletion of the fish in streams. It takes about three years for a young fish to reach seven inches in length, the breeding age and if these are taken out premature- ly their progeny is l(>3t to the Stream Dr. James also stated that a thret year o:d fish will lay approximately 350 eggs the first year and reach the maximum of about 1500 as an adult It is impossible to legislate tht people into keeping the fishing laws, Dr. James stated, as the fisherman is alone on the stream and on his honor not to take small fish from the stream. He stressed the importance of education or the saving of the trout streams; this to be done by reaching the young people in the schools with literature and the writing of essays •on fish conservation. Fishing clubs in various centres could also assist in spreading conservation a)ropaganda. He regarded education away ahead oi legislation in protecting the streams. If we are to conserve the heritage of trout in the streams we must not fail to keep the small trout therein and urged the fishermen to play the game fairly when nobody is watch- ing. Dr. James gave several instances of the stocking of lakes and streams, that are now fishermen's paradises. Maline Lake in British Columbia did not have trout six years ago and to- day it is well stocked with speckled trout and many have been caught up to 4 and 5 pounds in weight. The European 'Mrov.n trout was imported into AusWJiIia and the stream-s there were stocked with these game fish that never had trout in them before. The object of the visit of Di". James was tt form a club for the anglers of this ^district and assist in the pro- tection of the speckled trout in local ^â-ºhStreams. Another meeting is short- ly to be held, when it is expected that a strong organization will be formed. "Memories" By A. S. THURSTON MITCHELL â€" George MiteheU cami to Flesherton in 1888 and established a private bank, having formerly been a school teacher in NkhoUon at a salary of $300. He married Miss Sarah Elizabeth McGirr in 1889. In 1906 he sold his bank to the SUndard Bank of Canada, and continued to manage the branch for some years, retiring in 1925. Conservative in politics, Methodist (United) in rel- igion, past Master of Prince Arthur Lodge No. 333, A.F.&A.M., and mem- ber of the school board for many years, at present being on the High School Board. Their family consists of Lulu (Mrs. Otto Clippert%n) of Toronto; Kendall 1705 Bumham Bldg., Chicago, 111; Harold, killed in action during the Great War; Iva (Mrs. G.

(Stopping at a gas- oline station in the south of Chicago some few years ago, we got into con- versation with a mechanic at the gar- age and discovered that he knew "Capt. Mitchell" being al^o in the air force. We infer that Kendall is famous in the Windy City!) Ring Lost 12 Years Found In Eagenia Twelve years ago last November Mrs. J. E. Large of Niagara Falls lost her wedding ring at her home in Eugenia. No trace of it was found and it was regarded as lost for all time. A week ago Mr. Walker Sloan, who is residing in the Large home r.t Eugenia, found a round small band in his garden and on brushing off the earth found it was a gold ring. Mrs. Sloan recalled the loss of Mrs. Large's ring and the initials thereon corresponded with those of the owner, Mrs. Large was delighted with the return of the ring, which has had quite a career as it had been lost for a year before its long sojourn in tht gi'ound.

PAID FOR HOSPITAL CARE TORONTO MILK PRODUCERS EFFECT NEW ARRANGEMENT Were Harried Here FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY OF WEDDING OF MR. AND MRS. JOHN DUNCAN CLARKE Mr. and Mrs. John Duncan-Clarke celebrated the fiftieth anniversary ot their marriage very quietly on Wed- nesday of this week at their home, "Ardo." Weston. Mr. and Mrs. Clarke were married at the home of the bride's parents Earnscliffe, Flesherton, on July 5, 1883, the officiatiog clergyman being Rev. D. C. McDowell. Mrs. Clarke is the eldest daughter of the late J. ,W. Armstrong, J.P. Mr. Clarke was at one time Man- aging Editor of the Hamilton Times and has had an interesting and varied newspaper career. He also held a Government position at Ottawa for some time, and retired to Weston nine years ago. Owing to Mrs. Clarke's delicate health, there was no formal celebra- tion on Wednesday, but many con- gratulations were received from rela- tives and friends in Hamilton, Lon- don and Ottawa, in which cities the couple resided prior to coming here as well as many messages from friends in Weston and Toronto. One son, John H. Clarke, of Win- chester, Mass., together with Mrs. Clarke and their daughter, Dorothy, and Miss Dorothy Lamed have just returned home via Prescott and the .\dironda;:k3 route, after a pleasant two weeks' visit with Mr. and Mrs. Clarke at "Ardo." â€" Times and Guide, Weston. Entrance Resolts 44 CANDIDATES WROTE AT THE FLESHERTON CENTRE .\ND 41 SUCCEEDED Crows Ate The Bugs Crows are generally regarded as destructive pests, but the action ol several of them last week makes one believe that there is a little bit of good in the worst of them. 'Mr. George Johnson of Rock Mills noticed some crows in his potatoe patch, and they were very bu^y picking the potatoe bugs from the plants. This occurrence is about the only event that we have heard that w^as in favor of the black marauders. .\fter doing such good work the crows immediately stole some young chickens on the same farm. It seems that any good they might have ac- complished was too much for even themselves and they decided to live up to the rascally reputation they have acquired. The Toronto Milk Producei-s' As- sociation has effected an entirely new arrangement between producers and distributors, in the Toronto area. Under the new plan, the distributing company will agree to accept a defin- ite quota of milk from each shipper. The distributor, each month, will not- ify the producer of his quota for tJie following month. The producer may, if he desires, ship in milk exceeding his quota for whix:h he will receive a lower price. Producers are to ship to one dairy only, and any sur- plus milk must go to the same dairy. This, it is believed, will do away with the uncontrolled flow of surplus m!lk from one dairy to another, with the resultant depressing effect on prices. The following is a list of the am- ounts paid to Grey County by the different municipalities for hospital maintenance during 1932: Artemesia, $714.SS; Bentinck, $31- 50; Collingwood $-_'21.t)8.

ORANGE CHURCH SERVICE IN ST. JOHN'S CHURCH Flesherton L. 0. L. No. 2S53 and Carnation Lodge L.O.B.A. attended as a body at the morning service of St. John's United church. Rev. W. J. Scott, the pastor and an Orangeman, preached an excellent sermon, taking as his text Romans 1: 17, "The just shall live by faith," depicting the causes leading up to Martin I.uthers excommunication from the Catholic church and the formation of the Protestant church in Europe. Thei-e was a fair turnout of members of both lodges, besides a number of vis- iting brethren. The Entrance Examination results for this centre were received Tuesdaj evening and the successful candidates are published below. Miss I>orothy Hare of Orange Valley had, we are informed, the best average in these examinations with five pupils trying and all passed, four taking honors.

Osprey & Artemesia Co-operative Co., Ltd. FLESHERTON Grey County Using New Style of Road Grey county council decided at its last session to lay a cheap pavement on the two- half-mile stretches on the county line, one north of Hanovei to Green's Corner and the other in the village of Elmwood. The one will be a tar molch and the other a gravel mulch. The mater- ial is applied hot to the graveled road- way and then consolidated by means of the maintainer and roller. --^ similar strip was laid recently from ChesJey south to the first comer. It was a tar mulch. It is estimated that such a road will cost about $3,000 a mile and will be good for at least five years without attention. If this is the experience, the county officials believe it will pay them to extend such a cheap pavement, as it costs them a good deal of money every year to maintain this road. By trying out the two gi-ades of material on the same road, with the same gravel and the same mount of traffic, the county feels it will be a fair experiment to see which mater- ial makes the best road. cp^m and if any reader haa a hen that feels like accepting the challenge, the way is clear. In the meantime the honor remains undisputed with the Campbell hen. OVERDUE SUBSCRllTIONS -A. newspaper has to depend upon its subscribers as well as its adver- tisers to furnish the necessary fin- ancial support to enable its publica- tion. These are difficult times, and extremely so for the average ne^'s- paper. Individually subscription ac- counts are small but in the aggregtite they form a considerable volume of money. The .Advance would apprec- iate it if subscribers whose accounts arc in arrears will remit promptly. The address label tells the date tc which your sub-:ription is paid.

Bennett Cl LL DAIRY COWS IN DEXM.\RK GO TO HAPPY HINTING GROUND The slaughtering and burning of cull dairy cows is proceeding rapidly in Denmark. This ha-s been cited as one practical method of reducing over production and lowering production costs of milk. --Vlso. it has been indicated, far too many Canadian dairy cows, having outlived their milk producing usefulness, are shipp- ed to market, instead of being con- signed to the soil from whence they came.

Not A Fish Story This is a story about an Egg, a real big Egg. in fact the largest per- fectly shaped egg that has come into our possession. The hen that laid the egg is an ordinary grrade barred rock and the man that owns the hen is Mr. .\ngus Campbell, up on the eighth line of Nottawasaga. Mr. Campbell was so impressed with the size of this particular egg that he presented it last Saturday to the Editor and casually suggested a big egg competition. Here are the di- mensions, Shi X. 7^ inches, weight weight exactly 4 oz. When you stop to realize that a real good extra weighs l^] oz. you will have a better idea of the size of Mr. Campbell's chsdlenger.
