GRENIS Piano Tuner 30 Bronte Trends By Ruth Sargant | -- During the last few years fish- ing, which was once Bronte's ma- jor industry, has become a minor thing. This year only two boats --Freeman Bray's Al and Bill Bray's--are operating so far. The fish most desired at this time of year is a freshly caught whitefish. Several hundred pounds will 'be caught by the Bronte boats in the next month or so: The fish are caught with gill nets designed the same as those used in the-last century, The net consists of two side lines, one . | fitted with floats and one with sinkers, haying, about seven feet of web between them. For white- fish and mesh, when stretched at opposite corners, measures four and a half, inches. = When set in the water the net stands like a fence on the bottom of the lake. The fish come along, stick their heads in, try to back up and, due to the fine thread, they are caught in their gills. | The line and web are bought separately and "simmed" togeth- er locally, Mrs. Laura Reid has probably simmed the most nets in Bronte. During the past year she has been simming nets for fishermen from many ports on the Great Lakes. When fishing was going full blast in Bronte, almost all, the women could do this' work and years ago even knitted the web. In general, a net is about 150 yards long and 16 of these are joined in one long line to form a 'gang' The gangs are set straight out from shore, starting about a mile out, A buoy is placed at each end and the net left three or four days in the lake.

The net can be put back without coming into port. A nor- mal day's work would be to lift and set back two gangs of nets. Obviously to work every day a fisherman must have several Severe damage, gangs, Freeman Bray began the An east blow does filling the nets with moss, clubs, bed springs, tin cans, in short everything but money. The four gangs yielded on their first lift a total of 400 pounds. 'This is just fair fishing for this time of year. Last year was bet- ter than ever for whitefish, and of course the fishermen are hop- ing 'this year will be the same.

Nothing will reduce production costs and increase profit more than a rigid culling of the herd. Experiments have shown that although there may be some su- perior dams in a mediocre or poor producing family line, the off- spring of these dams will tend to revert to the average production of such family lines. It is par- ticularly true in the selection of herd sires, A recent survey of 233 dairy farms in British Columbia dis- closed that the cost of producing one pound of butterfat varied from 12.87 cents to 127.47 cents. Obviously the milking efficiency of these herds varied considerably and no doubt the farmer with low cost maintained the efficiency of his by getting rid of unprofitable producers. Higher Production Key To Price Problem Kenneth W. Taylor, WPTB chairman, knows what he's. talk- ing about when he says that greater production is one of the biggest factors making for price decreases, says Canadian Grocer, discussing the official's testimony before the Price Probe committee in Ottawa. After censuring "a small min- ority" of the daily newspapers for 'clamoring for reinstatement of price controls," the grocery business paper declares: "But the WPTB chairman says controls are not good for a coun- try with a free economy such as Canada. Mr. Taylor ought to know because of his long associa- tion with the board." "Everything all along the line, including labor costs, freight, truck, container, label, shipping case, office supplies, and all other costs would have to be frozen. "And unless prices to the pro- ducer were controlled too, heavy government subsidies would have to be paid. That would mean millions of dollars added to our tax bills."

Reeve Reports (Continued from Page 1) would make it easier for plows in winter, and by machine levelling we could grow some grass and use mowers, keeping the weeds down much better. It is not always possible to carry out this work everywhere it is needed because of the loca- tion of telephone poles havin been permitted in the past to far away from fence lines, There are many problems like this, and they do not make our road budget easy to balance while still giving eyeryone what they want on their roads. There is only so much stone for use this year, and we will try. to put it where it is most needed and will do the most good. Even- tually, by this process, all roads will be in excellent condition, but it is not possible to do it all at once. The process of modernizing a road system that was capable of handling traffic under one set of circumstances but is not satiss factory for present-day traffic is a slow process. We have made progress and will continue to do so with the careful use of our funds each year. Sm Thursday, March 25th, 104g Wanted to Buy OLD STRAW OR Hay Any Condition 20 TO 30.
