Could Be Straw That Breaks Back - cont'd from page 1 through the department of lands and forests, lays down the law. There will be a fishing licence for all resid- ents of the province. No longer can people from the twin cities, Ignace, Nipigon, Geraldton, and scores of other Northwestern Ontario places. fish free as they used to. Objections raised were brushed off. Now to add insult to injury, the appointed custo- dians of the land we looked upon as our own have yet another admonition for us. If you catch smelt in a net that's fishing and you must pay the $3. licence. Revolutions hve been started with less cause than this Who knows? Such a silly ruling by soft, highly-paid officials in plush offices at Toronto, could turn out to be the first solid incentive for a popular demand to make Northwestern Ontario a separate province. Res= idents of the four municipalities involved may amalga mate without any plebiscite. Yet they could suddenly become rebellious because of the order that they can't catch smelts without paying Toronto. reprinted from the Fort Willtam Times Journal.
