be success fully completed first and then a practical exam schedules announcing dates and places will be posted well in advance to ensure adequate service apparently a person who has lost his licence will have to take the exam so hunters should be sure to keep their previous years licence it was previously possible to get a licence by signing a form stat ing the person had previously held a

approximately 5400 in 1966 t the federal department of fisheries has applied chemi cals oampricides to lamprey- infested streams which kill young lamprey but not fish in lake superior electric fences placed across selected rivers to kill spawning adult lamprey measure the degree of success in chemical control which has cut population of lake superior sea lamprey over 90 per cent in five years the number of adult lamprey killed by the electric fences before and after the chemical treatments indicates the re sult of the chemicals on the lamprey population chemical control was begun in lake huron this past sum mer in m68 the lampreybear ing streams in manitoulin is land wilt be treated and to complete the first round of chemical treatments in 1969 the remaining lamprey streams located in

oppor tunity in 1967 to help make a visit to the confederation train or caravan exhibits a memorable and valuable experience the train which started january 9 at victoria on a crosscanada tour of 63 cities and the confederation cara vans visiting more than 700 commun ities are in effect travelling teaching aids the story of canada from primeval times will unfold before the eyes of children as they experience by sight and sound an adventure through his tory lifesize models sound effects lighting artifacts and photography will enable children to live through great events since the preiceage era standing on the timbered deck of a viking ship at sea or peering through the slit of a sandbagged trench in no- mans land amid the din of battle such experiences produce a more lasting impression than would a film or tele vision program visitors to the exhibits will be in a three dimensional world which will af fect all their senses as a good stage presentation usually creates a more last ing impression than does the two dimen sional cinema or television screen so will the confederation exhibits influence youngsters the exhibits also are likely to devel op a curiosity among the children and adults too about the historical back ground of our country a journalist commenting on a pretour visit to the ex hibits told us that they make you want to head for the library to check the whys and whens of certain devel opments in canadian history what for example were the under lying reasons for the riel rebellion in 1885 were english laws enforced in canada up to 1931 when the statute of westminster was passed were the west coast indians descendants of early immigrants from asia questions like those are prompted by a visit to the train or caravans a quebec writer visiting the train also said its like another world to me ive discovered so much about the history of the west i simplv didnt know anything about the train or caravan exhibits do not constitute a complete history of can ada in fact there are many gaps but they do provide broad impression teachers can ensure that a visit is a valuable experience by helping before hand to fill in some gaps both in the exhibits storv and in childrens know ledge of history a guide to classroom discussions is to reach the dsksofteachers well- before the train and caravan arrive in communities in the form of an at tractive centennial commission color folder it indicates how the story of canada is told byme exhibits class room discussions baed on the folder can helpchildren gfsp the significance of what they see and hear on theirs- its the centennial commission has a great appreciation for the contribution teachers can make to the train and caravan projects qcieens park report by george a kerr m i a the fifth session of the 27th parlia ment of ontario opened last week in toronto the details of the speech from the throne have been reported exten sively in au daily newspapers however there are a few matters in the docu ment which may be of more interest to the people of halton than others a new housing program to be known as home ownership made easy which through the use of the first letter of each word will be called the home program briefly the program pro vides the assembly and servicing of residential land and disposal of lot by outright sale and lease the provincial government hopes to increase the sup ply of lots and thuv reduce market prices generally the laaetag h will mean that a home buyer will have to have a down payment on the house component alone which could be about 200000 on a dwelling valued at 15000 the intent of this program is to put horn ownership back within the reach of lower and middle income families it is hoped that if this program is a success it could have a sharp deflationary effect on the home market the government through this pro- grant is trying to encourage home own ership there appears no doubt that people have a different fee and at titude about shelter that hev own or will eventually own than about shelter they rent the objective is to nuke more homes available to wore people in ontario the program la assigned primarily to cope with the housing shortage in metropolitan toronto and some of the other larger cities in ontario such as hamilton the shortage is not as acute in halton but there are areas such as milton and oakviue where it is almost impossible to buy a home under 20000 i am informed that it is almost impos- rible a boy a home at all in milton for a family with children or to lease shel ter at a reasonable reijt low cost housing is also in short supply in bur lington but the construction industry in this town has up to now kept pace with the demand an ontario housing corporation de velopment has finally been approved for oakviue so this should help ease the situation there other important matters in the speech include a statement that the on tario government plans to take over con trol ol the battle against air pollution in the province the idea is to divide the province into ireas and relieve munici palities of the responsibilitv of enforcing regulations so that there will be one agencv applying uniform legislation with the funds facuties and technical help needed to with this battle the government announced two other important steps a public en quiry into problems related to divorce laws and compensation fpr people m- tured going to the aid of police amen reference was made to the new securities act recently proclaimed which will help aoid loss of savings of people who invest with finance and trust ccnpanics and

to well recognized in those days that apples did not come true from seed in 1835 alan mcintosh johns son introduced the pro pagation of the mcintosh by grafting and budding and the actual introduction

brothers held an exhibit of new fruit and hlatt sent four specimens of the ihawkeye the name of the sender was missing and the nursery gave it the name de licious to identify it for no other purpose than to find the sender the nursery set up another show the fol lowing year and asked nil who had entered previously to do so agalrt fortunately hlatt entered again and the starks were able to make a

pose of grafting named variet ies in them when they grew he selected the hardiest seedlings and left the rest am ong the ones left unknown to him was the northern spy a neighbor roewell humph rey dug up some sprouts which had come up around this seedling and planted them the original tree died before it bore the spy takes 12 to 15 years to come into bearing to humphreys trees by good luck saved
