SOUTH PHONE: 345-555 LETTERS to the EDITOR THE OAKVILLE-TRAFALGAR JOURNAL CONSERVATION 2 A The early part of the year is time for fish and game clubs to hold their annual meetings, During this season, progress during the past year is reported, and plans are laid for the future. During February we were fortunate enough to be present at several of these meetings. One thing which features gath- erings of this sort and usually is a guarantee of good attendance Is ithe distribution of prizes for the largest fish taken by the members, which leads us to an in- teresting point. We' can't help being struck at the wide variety of sizes which win awards in the various areas, Certainly there's an. amazing dif- ference between the prize-wining fish in many of the localities we have visited. For example, the St. Lawrence is a tremendous waterway, and should be almost unlimited in its food potential for. fish. But it just doesn't rate with the Ottawa, for some reason, at least In the fish which have been recorded. Now, over in the Bay of Quinte area, the bass particularly are larger. Not just a few ounces, mind you, but a pound or more in many cases. We're convinced 'this deserves some investigation. This recording of "best" fish isn't valuable merely from the vinning angle. It has many more important features. It en- ables us to make . comparisons, year by year, in selected areas. The authorities are able to de- April 9th, 1951 The Editor, The Oakville/Traaflgar Journal, Oakville, Ont. Dear Sir: On behalf of the executive of the Oakville and District - Branch of the Canadian Red Crosg Society may I express to you our thanks for the splendid support your paper gave in our recent financial campaign.

But let us assure you that it's no "ama- teur's job. It' lookg simple on the face of it, but it takes an expert to draw the proper conclusions! We took in an interesting meet- ing of this nature over in Picton, where Major Ray Young, Bill Norton, and the Jones brothers have developed a really fine club. They've only been operating for three years, but they've built up a fine "record. Their annual dinner meeting included the Ia- dies, and it was gratifying to see that interest in conservation was not limited to the men. This type of understanding is going to be valuable come May, when the old man wants to slip away for a few speckled beauties! The previous night we took in the Belleville and district meet- ing. And here was a particularly interesting . piece of news. Dr. Van Blakslee reported on the lo- cal re-stocking program for the lakes and streams in Hastings county. Van told us that applica- tions for 'speckled trout will total nearly 100,000 in 1951. That's an awful lot of trout for one county. As they are mostly yearlings, the cost of raising them to that point would be nearly $7,500. All this without cost to the resident angler. Speaking of speckled trout. Down in Ottawa, when we at- tended the annual presentation of prizes of the Fish and Game Club, there was quite an amus- ing incident. The boy who won the, junior competition had taken a speckled something over two pounds in weight. Erskine Smith, the past president, said that the lad could soon enter the. senior competition, where the fish were much bigger! The winner in this event, by the way, was better than seven pounds. In order to give some encouragement to the young fellow, , we told him as we gave him his prize that there are hundreds of anglers who'd give their eye teeth to come any- where mear two pounds! In fact, we've heard a good many rave Badminton Winners Ted Stone won the men's sing- les championship, and Mrs. R. H. McDonald captured the la- dies' singles in the badminton tournament at Oakville Club Saturday evening. Runners-up were, Bob Snowball and Joan Farley. = Winners of the men's doubles were Ted Stone and Bob and Barry Home as runners-up. In the ladies' doubles, winners were Mrs. R. H. McDonald and Mrs. 'C, H. Windeler, with Miss Nora Crossley and Mrs. E. W. Whittington runners-up. Mrs. Whittington and Alfred Robin- son took the mixed doubles, runners-up being Mrs. Windeler and Doug Ahern. A large crowd witnessed the tournament, which was preceded by a dinner and followed by a dance, BUD'S JUVENILES STILL UNBEATEN IN T.H.L. Still flying high in T.H.L. King Clancy competition are Oak- ville's peppery juvenile squad, which downed Toronto Nagels 40 over the weekend for their fourth straight victory against no defeats. Scoring was well spread over the lineup, with Mucker Milne, Ralph Simmons and Tom Gibbs providing markers to go with burly defenceman Graht Redshaw's first tally in many a moon. The local youngsters meet Lake- shore Saints at Dixie arena Wed- nesday night, the hook up with Daveys at Ravina Gardens Satur- day evening. Kenny Brown is handling the team while coach ud Corbett enjoys a vacation in the deep south. Lloyd Percival, Sports College director who has contributed to the coaching of both lads, waxed ecstatically enthusiastic 'over their showing in a letter to the Journal yesterday. "The group of U.S. coaches who were at the meet practically mobbed Sutton trying to get him headed in their direction," he reported. "This makes (the fifth record Pete has come up with in 10 months, and his time for the 500 is the fastest ever recorded in the world for a lad of hig age. He is probably ihe outstanding junior in the country at this time." Lloyd 'also remarked the U. of M. coach Don Canham is expecting big things of Ross. "Unfortunately the officials made a bad mistake at Montreal, making him run an extra lap, They gave him an ap- proximate time of 4.20 for the proper distance, which would haye meant a new punior indoor record. He really looks good." IN ARENA IN SE Devotees of roller skating, old and young, who have been count- ing on skimming through their paces at the new arema when the new floor has been completed, are in for a bit of disappointment. But the wooden wheeled equip- ment may be brought out next fall, according to arena manager Ted Kennedy. "We'll definitely consider roller skating in September, after the summer skating school is over over twelve inchers. and before the ice goes back in TO CONSIDER ROLLER SKATING PTEMBER for a new hockey season," he told the Journal thig week. "But we just won't be able to make It be- fore then. Laying of the new ter- razo floor won't be completed un- til June 1, after which 28 days are needed to allow the surface: to harden properly. We need four days to put in a new sheet of ice, so we'll be hard pressed to have everything shipshape for the July 2 opening of the figure skating school."
