It was ta co-ardinate film-making in the diffenent branches o! gavenniment anti pnevent duplication o! set- ups and staff. Today the National FiliA Board is Parliament Hill's prize exani- pie of haw the weakest seedling o! bureaucracy manages ta gnow and blossorn inta fuli-grown ex- travagance. Fram its modest start back in 1939 as an inter- dcpantmental group of civil ser- vants, acting without additional remuneration, anti a commissioner andi a stenognaphen as the anly paiti staff, the Film Board has grown into a branch o! govern- ment which in the coming yean will cost the taxpayens of the na- tion over $2,000,000. That's the public figure, but it's flot the to- tal. For the Film Board also is paid by other gavenaîment de- partments ta make pictures for themn anti this concealed spcnding amountedti t $630,000 in the past 16 months. This indicates the nav- enous capàcity fan eating up pub- lic funtis by the N.F.B. "white cile- phant." At the tume the National Film Board was cneateti, the govenn- ment's film activities cansisteti o! a Motion Picture Branch locateti in the Department a! Trade anti Commerce. It cost the public treasury approximately $90,000 annually ant idt consitienable ef- fective work in promoting Can- adian tratie abroati. It was the then Tratie anti Com- merce Ministen, Hon. W. D. Euler, who in 1939 introtiuced ta Parl- lament the legisiation for the creatian o! the National Film Boardi. He explaineti it as an ec- anomy measune, tiesignedti apre- vent over-lapping and duplication o! governmcnt film activities anti as "not an onganization that la going ta nequire the expenditure o! a great deal a! public money." Its oniy paiti officiaIs, be qsaid, would be a Commissioner and. a stenographen, or possibiy twâ. Tc the then Consenvative leader, Hon. Dr. R. J. Manion, the Trade anti Commerce Minîster gave the pletige that, sa fan as he was con- cerneti the new board wouid not be built up into a large depart- ment. But Hon. Mn. Euler ceasedti t *be Minster o! Trade anti Com- merce. Anti John Giicson be- came National Film Commission- ci-. Swiftly Grierson moved in the direction o! building Up a huge new govcrnment braxch.

Important Study 0f Brown Trout The Department of Lands and Forests, Fish pnd Wildlife Divis- ion, is carrying on a research pro- ject at the provincial forestry sta- tion at Orono. The department hopes to replenish southern Ont. ario stneams with much needed trout. Department officiais are calling upon laymen anglers in this dis- trict ta help them. They* want weekend fishing enthusiasts who visit Wilmot Creek-the streani which nuns through the provincial forestry station at Orono-to pro- duce their catc.'os for inspection if requested. Conservation auth- orities, it is pointeti out, want only ta make a study of fish footis -how much the fish are eating, where they are getting it anti to approximate the number of fish being caught. Similan inspection has been going on at other points for sanie time. Fisheries experts of the depart- ment are working on the assump- tion that southern Ontario's in- cneasing lack o! forest reserve is causing spring waters ta dry up faster. What water is le! t, offic- iais say, is warmed up more quickly. The Brown Trout, baving a somewhat higher tempenature range than other trout, seenis ta be the logicai fish for the restockin.g of these warm water streanis. It is, however, essential that com- plete information concerning the habits of the brown trout be ob- taineti before any lange-scale pro- grami is begun. To get this in- formation the work on Wilmot Creek is being carrieti out.
