up at five In the morning you will not know what It Is like Maybe you only do this when fishing or camping George Sargent of Glen Williams took a trip In the rain ana cold oflastweekandwounduplnAlgonqulnPark Fishing was fairly good and he brought home lake trout for supper Ross Walsh of Georgetown took a and one half Inch Brook trout in one of the ponds In Terra Cotta conservation area This one weighed almost three and one half pounds These pond are not producing good as they were I imagine this la J because the stocked fish are taken out but there ore some big trout that get smart and avoid capture Sometimes they make mistakes Kelso conservation area has been producing only fair and Hart Lake near Brampton has given up some great catches Stream fishing Is getting back to normal after the recent floods and things are generally looking up In fact stream fishing should now be fantastic What about the fishing in Toronto For those that do not want to travel extensively there Is great potential for recreational fishing In Toronto Along the the lake shore there Is better fishing than before Not Just coarse fish but pike caslonal walleye and Rainbow trout are caught One of the moat popular locations la the Generating station where you can catch large catfish dogfish and most Important of all Silver Bass We are still receiving reports from the Ministry of Natural Resources concerning trash left by so called sportsmen going out for the early spring fishing The garbage left by Ice fishermen iastarttnatosnowupon A conservation officer in the Tlmmagaml region found beer wine and sherry bottles scattered all over the place These were discarded on the Ice and the shore Fishermen had built fires and around each blackened fireplace there were beercana broken bottles and trees had been cut along the shore for firewood The conservation officer realizes of course that not all fishermen are like this but If we do not control this type of destructive act then we may lose every lake we have OPENING DATES FOR PHOVINC1AL PARKS Many are now open and others will be available to the campers June There are a lot In the North Bay district opening at this

Phone I suppose everyone baa seen the commercials on TV where the thirty year old Canadian Is Jogging with the sixty year old Swede and the Swede looks a whole lot healthier than the Canadian And I suppose everyone now knows that Canadian children receive less physical education time at school than any other Western country And I suppose everyone has noticed that except for swim ming and hockey Canadian sports doesnt exactly command international respect Everyone knows this yet no one seems to offer a explanation as to why Canada la generally leas healthy than other countries Canadians love hockey baseball football swimming and most sports other countries take pride In Canadians dont more than anyone else or drink more or eat more garbage food The problem Is perhaps more serious We don have more bad habits than anyone else our problem Is that we just dont This apathy was evident an the local scale when the Halton Board of Education Physical and Health Education Program Council held an open meeting at Public School on Thursday night Less than ten people turned up about a quarter of those expected The Idea was to tell people just what the council had been doing and what they were about to do Reports from the committees were presented and there was a question and answer period But of course with only a handful of people present the council wasnt able to make much of an Impression Advertising was partly to be blamed suggested one of those present But I think perhaps the problem la that the majority of just couldnt care leas about their own health and more about the health of their children dont know If the lack of Interest shown on Thursday night is general throughout Ontario I have a sneaking suspicion that It Is which seems a great shame when you consider the work the council does The council is willing and able to play a significant part In the physical education of Ontarios children The council has sub committees that cover both outdoor education and physical and health education The 12 members of the council are all teachers from schools in Ontario volunteers who seem to be doing a pretty thankless job which is certainly a of affairs Dave Roberts

Doug Pollard Jack McCallum and Dave King three men who decided to provide a sports and fitness centre for the people of Mlsslssauga and the surrounding area Doug Pollard had founded the Mlsslssauga Health Spa in October Jack McCallum Joined the club two years later and together they built up the facilities and membership of the club until Mr realized that the of the public were beyond the services the club could provide Rather than merely losing weight and getting fit quick he figured that people today were looking for places where they could stay In shape and have fun on a regular basis Some kind of club had to be formed where people could enjoy the facilities of the old Health Spa while also take part in sport Mr Pollard contacted Dave King and the three men set about building
