Whitby Rotary Club Will Grow Corn and Peas On Dunlop Property At Lake The Rural Relations Committee of the Whitby Rotary Club has elab- orate plans made for the planting of crops on the Dunlo 5 property, again placed at the Club's disposal by the Company. Last year, it will be recalled, the Club grew several varieties of corn, under the able direction of Rotarian Bill Forbes, of the Stokely Van Camp Com- pany, and netted over $2,000 for crippled children and other club enterprises. Mr. Forbes was able to secure from fertilizer compan- jes in Canada generous donations of fertilizer, and at the Rotary luncheon last week he announced that these companies were again making donations. To date they oe been made to the value of The Club this year is diversifying efforts and plan grow- ing 35 acres of peas and 15 acres corn. Work on the land has already commenced and every Rotarian is expected to do his share. So, from now on, at intervals, armed with the necessary tools, members of the Club may be seen in the corn and pea fields. The successful experiment last ear attracted widespread attention in government agricultural and oth- er circles, and owners of farm pap- ers sent men here to get the fact and take pictures. Whitby receiv- ed a great deal of valuable public- ity as a result, "The current issue of the Rotar- ian, official organ of Rotary In- ternational, carries a brief story on the corn growing project of 1952, with an accompanying picture of several members of club mounted on a tractor used last fall for the harvesting of the crop. The article notes that it was a unique way of raising money and com- mends it to other clubs in and the United States. The site on which the crops are to be grown was purchased a few years ago by the Dunlop purposes for industrial purposes. Ontario County Asks $200.000 For Roads Ontario County, whose 1953 road budget was trimmed by $90,000, may yet have a substantial road program for this year. In the Coun- y Council's deliberations last week in Whitby, council members ap- proved a resolution calling for a $200,000 expenditure on paving this ear, subject to approval of the Peartmon of Highways. Reeve Garnet Wilson, of Cann- ington, chairman of the County Road Board, introduced the reso- lution. It was seconded by Reeve Pred Lamb, of Brock Township. The resolution read, '"That, if pos- sible, to have the Department of Highways approve as construction mulch paving, this council ap- proves of debentures to the extent of 000 for this purpose. If not, that a type of plant mix be used for that purpose with the approval of the Department of Highways." The resolutjon has been introduc- ed to permit a paving program in the county this year. In January, the road board brought in a pro- posed program costing $405,000, which was approved by the county council. Of this amount, $100,000 was set up for mulch paving, At last week's session of the county council, it was learned that the Department of Highways would pay a subsidy only on an expendi- ture this year of $315,000. This would almost wipe out any mulch paving program. It will be noted in the resolution that it asks the Department's ap- proval of mulch paving as con- struction. The Department of Highways does not consider mulch treatment as construction, only maintenance, and debentures can- not be issued for maintenance.

Mac- Intyre decided to expand the or- ganization and go out to the citiz- ens and gather as much money as possible into the treasury. Mem- | hy bers of the Board who have in the past few weeks approached citiz- ens and obtained not a few sub- scriptions of $500 each, were en- thusiastic with the reception they had received wherever they went. They were of the impression, 100k- |ed tha ing at the financial returns in hand that the surface has not yet been scratched and that with a mighty big effort a modern artificial ice arena for Whitby can be assured. Accordingly, steps will be taken forthwith to expand the organiza- tion so that a complete canvass can be made of the town, with the object of giving all citizens who wish to subscribe to what will in the final analysis be a community | ing enterprise, with all who give to it as partners, with a voice in the operation when a permanent or- ganization has been set and in- tors. The question of cost and and site of the building will be determined. 1t was decided to invite all izens interested who would canvass to come to the Town next Monday evening at el g'Slock, Rom this A ti oped, will come a ture on which future plans for [A arena be based. Members of the Board, in m e are making specific : on citizens whose names they have accepted for it felt ag already not~ t there are others who, when abproachied will be willing to sub- scribe. In addition to a local appeal, the thought was advanced that not a few who were former citizens here, many of them natives, who have gone out into the world and made good, might be contacted by; letter. It was not thought impos sible--not by any means, that some formers citizens might be awaity opportunity to do some! th an thing for their home town, a that an arena subscription might, | furnish the opportunity.

DYER Correspondent BROOKLIN -- The April meet- ing of the South Ontario Trappers' Council was held in Port Perry Scout Hall on April 24. The meet- ing was opened by President Bert Simpson who called on the Secre- tary - Treasurer, Matt. Agar, for the minutes of the previous meet- ing. The men present were very disappointed that, through some misunderstanding, Wildlife Man- agement Officer for Lake Simcoe District, Mr. J. 8. Dorland, , was not present. It was their wish that he be present at the next meeting, if possible. e President called on the Lo- cal Conservation Officer, Ben Smith, who, through knowledge re- ceived at Ranger School, was able to give some helpful information on pelting and stretching of fur pelts. In the case of beaver the pelt is split from nose to tail, the feet chopped off and four legs pull- ed through and not opened at hind legs as other pelts. It is then stretched open -- oval shape. The fat is then cleaned off. Fox and lynx are cased, i.e, turned in- side out on a board, fat scraped off and then tacked snug on a board -- not stretched. After par- tial drying they are turned with fur out. Coon can be stretched either cased or open. Mink and muskrat are stretched acsed, Coon, when cased, and muskrat are left with fur inside when dry. All fur is subject to fat burn (splitting the removed -- thus lowering value of fur. Northern Beaver are better than local Beaver because longer winter yields thicker fur. With muskrats it is a different story -- the best Ontario muskrats come from Trent Valley area -- this in- cludes Lake Scugog and Rice Lake. It was agreed that there is more wild fur in the district than 20 years ago, due to conservation measures and the low price for some furs. It was also mentioned that in 1953 and 1954 mink will be sealed the same as beaver are now. ASK CHANGES After much discussion it was de- cided to recommend to the De- partment of Game and Fisheries that, in the Game and Fisheries Act, Section.8, Sub Section 1, re- main the same. That Sub Sections 2, 3 and 4 be withdrawn and in Section 2, viz, "That a trapper,' after obtaining written permiss from a Landowner or Lessee be' permitted to trap on any Properd: in the Province of Ontario." Sub" Section 3 viz. '" written . mission be obtained from the Land: - owner of Lessee." Sub Section 4, "That a trapper trapping in ag" area, register with the local Cor servation Officer", That Sub Se tion 5 remain the same. It was moved by W. Hope and seconded by P. Armour, that these sectional changes be placed before the prop: er authorities for adoption for our' next season. This was carried" unanimously. It was moved by' Bill Wakeford and seconded by George Prosser that a recommen- dation be made that the ope: of the muskrat season be 14 day earlier and continue till the closing date to take care of irreg- ular seasons. This motion was ear ried. On recommendation: of th President, it was moved by Edé gar Slack, seconded by Albert Stiner, that the coon season be, longer (viz) Oct. 15 - Feb, 28) due' to the nuisances coon are becom: ing in their ever - increasing num. bers. This might eliminate the ne-' cessity of townships and counties' offering bounties for coon eradicas tion because of destructiveness in the corn fields and chicken ranges. Carried. There was only time for a short discussion on the possible advan- tages to the trapper of co-operative buying of supplies and co-operative selling of furs, but all were keen- ly interested and hoped to hear more on this subject at future meetings. It was moved by John Joyce, seconded by Bill Wakeford, that the meeting adjourn and that the next meeting be held in the Scout Hall at Port Perry on Friday, September 18, at 8 p.m. Canada exported $17,185,000 worth of fish and fish products in 1952, a slight drop from 1951.
