Hambly, of the Ontario Department of Lands and Forests, ex- plained that "this-will preclude flood- ing and spring fur sales with large numbers of late-caught, low-quality fur which is said to have a depressant effect on the entire beaver pelt mark- et." } Ld - Recent discussions have indicated that full-time trappers favour the change. Next winter, greater atten- tion to traplines will be necessary if the large beaver population is to be properly harvested during the restrict- ed season, * FORT FRANCES--Just 220 years ago, history records the first eye-wit- ness account of a forest fire in this district.

Lake of the Woods almost entirely "through fire--and a stifling thick smoke", which prevented him from, "even once eatching a glimpse of the sun." "We must surmise," says District Forester W. T. Forest of the Ontario Department of Lands and Forests, "that the district had been plagued by a whole series of lightning fires such as have occurred in the north, central and eastern parts of the Province 220 years later.

In addition, 'trees which had survived one or two years died. White Pine and White Spruce gppear to be species vived> through 1954, died this past summer," . Blue Grouse For Ontario PORT ARTHUR--Twenty-one Blue Grouse have just covered more air miles in a short time than they pro- bably will again for the rest of their lives. Captured by members of the British Columbia Game Commission, they were placed on a T.C.A. aircraft and flown to the Fort William airport, changing planes at Winnipeg, The release of these birds in this district is a co-operative project be- tween the local Game and Fish Asso- ciation and the Ontario Department of Lands and Forests. The birds were released in Sibley Provincial near 'here, on Lake Superior, and around Gardner, Addison and Rita Lakes. Sibley Park was" chosen. as most closely resembling their natural -habitant in British Columbia. also is a Provincial Game Preserve. The Blue Grouse are much larger than the Ruffed Grouse of this area. Prior, to their release, the birds were handed with a blass leg band. The band is quite conspicious and all per- [ sons seeing one of the birds are asked to notify the district Lands and For- ests office, i . "It is hoped that under protection here they will multiply and offer a real bird for sportsmen within a few years," says District Forester R. S. Hyslop. "So, hunters, if you see a partridge with a brass band on its leg during the hunting season, don't shoot it, but let us know you've seen it." School easier \, Their \Th How About That!
