Ask Sunday Shooting Be Considered Golf Echoes of Wednesday's abortive attempt to introduce the question of Sunday shooting into Fish and _Game Committee deliberations were heard again yesterday. Most outspoken in their support of Sunday hunting were Joseph San-- son of Sudbury and J. S. Wilson of Massey. They pointed to Sunday golf, fishing and other recreation as justification of their contention. "For some reason this subject was dropped like a hot potato yester-- day," Mr. Wilson said, "and I don't see why. Up North, if a man has a job he's a lucky dog, but he can't take time off work to go hunting CANT ENFORCE LAW REQUIRING FISHING GUIDE Tremendous Opposition From Tourists to Clause, Hon. Harry Nixon Tells Northern Delegation LAXITY PROTESTED ment of the law requiring a licensed guide to be carried in every boat manned by non--resident anglers was turned down in Fish and Game Committee yesterday"© when ~ Hon. Harty Nixon, Minister of Game and Fisheries, frankly admitted the law could not and would not be en-- forced under many circumstances. Leonard Hughes, representing the Northern Ontario Tourist Trade Association presented a strong argu-- ment in support of his request, de-- claring his organization had re-- ceived many complaints from vaca-- tion _ fishinig spots, protesting against toumsts being permitted to fish without guides. Strongest pro-- test, he said, had come from Mani-- toulin Island. "Manitoulin Island would be the first to complain if we enforced that law strictly," interrupted D. J. Taylor, deputy minister. "There has been such tremendous opposition to that clause and it has been so impossible to enforce that A. V. Howell, president of the Georgian Bay Commercial Fishing Association, urged sportsmen's or-- ganizations to sit in with commer-- cial fishermen at a round table con-- ference in future, and thresh their problems out together before any representations were made to. the government.

The only time he can shoot is on Sunday." Dr. H. James of the Ontario Fed-- eration of Anglers, reminded the committee that Thursday morning had been set apart for discussion of fishing problems. He made a strong plea to the government to forbid the use of spears in fishing for a few years. The spear--fishing privi-- lege had been granted for the pur-- pose of catching non--game fish, he said, but the weapon was now being used openly in some sections of the country for the spearing of game fish. muskellunge season were evenly divided in their views. About half appeared in favor of retaining the present season from June 20 to Oct. 31, while others endorsed the plan to shorten it by opening on July 1. 4 5 Dr. H. James of the Ontario Fed-- eration of Anglers, told the commit-- tee that his organization had sent out a questionnaire on the subject and found fishermen everywhere in favor of a shorter season. MARCcH 3 Dr. Bruce Macdonald, chairman of the Board of Governors, was of the opinion that a reduction in the grant would mean either a reduct tion in salaries or an increase in fees. '"We will have to reduce our estimates and some one will have to suffer. This is a state university and we must carry on according to the decision of the government." _ Russell Bowles, of the students' co--operative residence, said the ac-- tion of the government was the same as placing a mortgage on the futures of many young men who may, in time, become the nation's leaders. "If it means that the fees have to be raised," said Brig.--General C. H. Mitchell, "then it will be a serious thing in the Faculty of Science. Some students may have to discon-- tinue their courses, while others who were contemplating coming here in the near future may find it will be financially impossible. putnaryiedionitineydatistcinitis.

"The only way by which we can meet a reduction of $100,000 is by increasing the fees of the students and observing the strictest -- economy. Expenditures have already been cut to the bone. There can be no salary increases. "But it would be a calamity if higher educational opportunities were open only to those who have the means to attend university. There will have to be a substantial iIncrease in the bursary and loan funds available so that students of ability without adequate financial resources will be able to secure the higher education they desire," he continued. The estimates showed that the grants to Queen's and Western On-- tario are to be reduced by $25,000 each--to $250,000 and $235,000, re-- spectively.

Education leaders last night de-- plored the Ontario Government's decision to cut grants to three uni-- versities and predicted the action might lead to increased student fees and a stoppage of salary increases for members of the staffs.
