In particular, we took exception to the one in Owen Sound, conâ€" ducted solely for the publicity of one merchant. Needless to say the damage done to fish population by a contest of this kind is extensive. Eugenie Pond, where most of the "fAshermen" congregate during this contest, has gone from fishing that was exceptionally good to fishing that is exceptionally poor. 6 _ Even worse than the careless person who leaves his campâ€"fire burning, are those persons who drive through the bush area and carelessly toss their cigarette butts or pipe ashes out of the window of their car. There is absolutely no excuse for this type of stupidity and the maximum penalty should be slapped on anyone indulging in it. Rain has not fallen in the north country for several weeks now. A small blaze could wipe out thousands of acres of fine timber and claim the lives of persons located in the area. The Forestry departâ€" ment is taking a very dim view of any and all carelessness which would start a fire. If you persist in throwing your cigarette butts out the window of your car, it could be that one of these days you will find yourself being charged for starting a forest fire, and pleading ignorance won‘t do a bit of good. By Miss Myrtle Becker f (Chronicle Correspondent) \ Mother‘s Day was observed in the village churches Sunday. Rev. C. R. Kauth used as his text 11 Tim. 1:5 and Rev. E. Sider spoke on "Mothers of the Bible". A choir of intermediates sang at the United Brethren Church. If they«@re,‘how is it that hundreds who never fish at any other time of the year, congregate in Owen Sound when the trout season opens. For the most part, these people do not own such a thing as a fly rod, a reel or a tapered line. They fish with long cane poles, a length of chalk line and a gob of worms impaled on a bass hook. Their thought is to catch a prizeâ€"size fish regardless of method. Deâ€" cent sportsmen for the most part have learned to stay strictly away from this area during the Derby. Our wildlife and fish, the greatest assets this country has, deâ€" pend on the forest and fields for cover and food. When a forest fire occurs, not only is the game killed off but the fish too, for the ashes fall and poison the water. In the evening at Grace E.U.B. Church the film "A Wonderful Life" was presented and much apâ€" preciated. The EY.F. was in charge of the opening devotional period. A couple of weeks ago we wrote an editorial deploring conditions brought on by allowing Fish Derbies. It might be hard for the editor of the Herald to understand the difference in the attitude of people, but a fish slaughter such is conâ€" stituted by the Owen Sound Fish Derby, would get a pretty cold reception in Waterloo. Conservation Clubs have always frowned on this type of thing, and as most sportsmen here belong to these Clubs, a merchant starting such an affair would likely find he wasn‘t in business any longer. In our own opinion, the Department of Lands and Forests, while admitting that any fish derby does a lot of damage to the fish populaâ€" tion, has been lax in not clamping down on these affairs. A decent sportsman does not have to be enticed by a lot of baudy prizes to get out of doors. His desire is a natural one . . . the urge to see Spring on its way in, the shaky thrill as the first trout of the season smashes at his fly. We are inclined to wonder how much fishing our friend the editor of the Herald does, that he so avidly believes in the Derby. We are convinced that, were he to sit in on some of the Conserâ€" vation Club meetings in this and other cities, and hear discussion of this Derby, that he would change his views with little hesitation. Forests and fields are now tinder dry. A very little in the way of fire may start a blaze costing into the thousands of dollars, and if you are responsible, you may face a jail term, a heavy fine or both. Roseville : The Herald does not think it fair that we label the Derby as "Cheap Commercialization". What should it be called then when nothing but publicity and advertising is behind the idea. The W.S.W.S. and the Ladies‘ Aid of Grace E.U.B. hurch comâ€" bined their monthly meeting with The Owen Sound Herald has taken exception to our editorial! and wonders if we might be suffering from an accute attack of sour grapes, supposedly because an Owen Sound man thought of the Derâ€" by and not a Waterloo man. s ;Je ;;nie!;ded {hat the prizes, not the sport, were the attraction in this area during the trout season. The Herald says the prizes are "incidental". Editorial Comment dut'or!wbu'imionm dayâ€"3 months for $3.

Indeed, civilization has become So artificial today that none May hope to get exactly what they want Whenever they require it most of all. The manufacturer improves his goods, Not for the benefit of those who buy, But simply to outdo competitors ; Industrialists are eager to install r The most efficient machinery, Not to reduce the burden of their men, But only to cut down production costs ; The working man seeks not to serve mankind, But only to do less and get more pay ; And those in politics propose reforms, Not for the common good of all concerned, But only to increase their own prestige. The higher living standard of toâ€"day Is not the foremost goal which all essay, But a byâ€"product of the silly game Of making money without any shame. Some claim the dreadful impetus of war . Can speed up technological advance And urge the scientists to invent in months What ordinarily, requires years ; But common sense can prove that they are wrong: Improvements for increased efficiency Of all the weapons used in fighting wars Are usually inventions known before; But during years of peace they had been hushed, Because our industry could not afford To scrap the old and to adopt the new, Until our government relte-aed a flood Of propaganda on atrocities And taxed the people who must shed their blood To pay for the increased expense of war. But war has never aided man‘s advance, Except by some quite unexpected chance. (To be continued next week) (Chronicle Correspondent) By Mrs. C.

One brother hased a $1000.00 lot in a ¢oosur':sidenml section while the other purchased a $100.00 lot in a roor section. The replacement cost of either of the houses at 1940 values was $6000.
