In 1933 more were released in Nation River Valley in the Rideau district. - Releases were made from Normandale and Codrington game and Prescott counties in 1933 and 1934 "and any- one of these plantings may have been the originators of the present stock," a department official said. Hungarian partridge, they say, like other upland game birds, are preyed upon by the usual furred and feath- ered enemies. The factor which af- fects their numbers more than any- thing else are probably winter star- vation, caused.by food being covered by deep snow or ice; hay mowing operations which may destroy nests before they can hatch and sometimes may kill or injure the sitting hen. Despite these' hazards, however, every indication is that 'the eastern Ontario Huns may provide interesting shooting in the future. "re A pilot model of a forest "fire .en- gine" somewhat new in: design and operation and one which its planners expect will help speed up the system has been developed and tested by the Ontario Department. The new unit is already being hailed by some fire control men who have 'they touch another fire breaks out. three miles ahead of the main ones, | raster rate of growth and much larger| p-- uphill movement of superheated air increases the spread and intensity of the flames, Its drying action pre- pares the growth ahead for quick ig- nition, "The rush of wind--which becomes terrific--breaks off bark, twigs and carries them ahead. When they reach the 'end' of the updraft,' they drop to the ground--and every, time That is why, in many places, plowing a fire-break doesn't always prove ef- fective," He pointed out that during the- Mississagi and Chapleau fires of 1948, flying, burning embers and branches started new fires as far as LEB J "Many formers in southern Ontario are planning construction of farm ponds will also serve to irrigate land watering cattle but also to provide recreation and good fishing, accord- ing to officials of the Ontario Depart- ment of Lands and Forests. Such ponds will olso serve to irrigate land during. dry weather, improve the ap- pearance and value of the property and provide a source of water in case of fire, Basic requirements "for a good fish pond, the officials say are: ample size, at least one acre; pure and abun- dant water; shallows for spawning fish and deeper portions for hidin and wintering; . food in plenty and variety; shade and shelter from the glaring sun and anieans of draining the pond completely. A new pond should be allowed to lie fallow for three or four months in the spring until the newness has worn off and insects: and minnow life have become established. These may be introduced originally by pro- curing a tubful of water and aquatic weeds - from some other farm pond which. has already become éstablished with a known insect and minnow / pop- ulation. "Question of proper food is all im- portant," the officials say. "Many people believe this requirement will take care of itself. Such is not the cases ume enough to raise the fish, An acre of water will produce just so inany pounds of lish euch year ac- cording to the food supply. Another mistake 1s that of planting too many Aish_in---the beginning:- Small num- bers of fish planted result in less com- petition for food, This provides a fish," ; District foresters, it was stated, mers with information on the creation ol larm ponds. * on About 4U- per cent of Ontario's re- sident and visiting deer hunters scor- ed this year, according to preliminary ligures compiled by district foresters 1 . - i - 1] DON'T LET THIS HAPPEN TO YOU!

That is the simple story 'told by lecturers of the Ontario De- partment of Lands and Forests in ur- ging extreme care in the woods. Speaking to. members of fish .and groups, the Department fire fighting experts declare 86 per cent of the average of 1,200 forest fires a year are caused -by-human carelessness. "This seems a strange time to talk about forest fires, when there is plen- ty of snow in the bush, but people forget so quickly, "declared a veteran ranger, "They just don't seem to understand that once the warm spring sun shines we are, year after year, faced with an almost insurmountable task in keeping fire out of the bush." "How do fires start anyway?" he was asked. : "Simple!" was the reply. "Joe Doakes is walking -along the bank of a stream. The wind is blowing from a dry region, sucking up the moisture from the timber on the banks above him. He drops a cigarette butt, or throws away a lighted match, The updraft created by the fire which fol- lows carries away the protective moia- ture froni the sloping ground and the ests.

According to the Game ard Fish- eries Act, "no person owning, har- -| bouring --or- claiming to-own a dog} shall allow it to run at large during the closed season for deer in a local- ity which. deer, moose, cariibou or wapiti usually inhabit or in which they are usually found." Dogs found running at large, it was pointed out, may -be killed on sight by an officer and already several animals have been destroyed: Finders of stray dogs are urged to notify the nearest conserva- tion officer. erat Ph re Lloyds of London writes all forms of insurance except life insurance. s * 0 0 eyes in the opposite direction. » * 8 4 ' Ouija boards get their name from a combination of the French and QGer- man Words for "yes", * ss ments than one thick one because the Food must be present in vol-| will gladly supply neighborhood far-}- Facts an F ---- | REY W BGR Both the sea horse and the chame- leon can move one eye without mov- ing the other, and they can move both News is formed from the' first let- ters of North, East, West and South, ~ * + 2 It is warmer to wear two thin gar- Prince Albert Ou Sunday al the Church Service we were favored with two lovely vo- cal solus by Mrs, Hunt, of 'Loronto.
