Community Sale OXDRIFT PRESERVING THE FIST. One of the Problems of Ontario's St imer Paradise. On the good ship "Waubic" which plies between Penetang and Parry Sound, five disgruntled cottagers re- turning to their homes after their summer outing, were discussing in fishing. - "In seventeen years," said a To- ronto man, "I never caught so few black bass, pickerel and lunge. Five years ago, I could row around my cottage and hook three or four good black bass. This year, I caught nary a one. I went far afield to lakes and shoals where former years I went for a day's big sport. And I. was lucky if I caught one bass this year." And so the lament passed from one to the other. Each had heard of some fertunate individual who had caught this year all the black bass he wanted. But these cottagers from the Severn to Parry Sound swore that even the prevalent pike was be- coming a rarity. ' Now, each of these five cottagers also told of his own private reason for the shortage of game fish on the Georgian Bay. ; "I found a hoop net in a chan- nel," said one. "I caught -a trap net while trolling out in the open," said another. "The settlers &pear all the big lunge in the spring," said another.

The big fish, dazzled by the light, do not fee, and are jabbed with a spear, No doubt hundreds of the finest thirty and forty pound kings of fresh water game fish have been thus de~ stroyed at the spawning season. Fish hogs have had much to de with depleting the Georgian Bay. Fifteen years ago a party of a hune dred Americans pitched camp about twenty miles north of Penetang. They had an elaborate big tent camp. Their sport was bass fishing, They had a daily "pool" for the catcher of most bass. They could not eat all they caught in this sweet, little competition, so they buried the surplus bass in a nearby sand beach, Great pits full of bass. hemes re- main to-day to testify te the methods of girvhe hogs.

Mr. D. McDonald, Deputy Minister of Game and Fisheries, states that two boats, a steam launch and a gagoline launch, are continually on patrol along the north shore of the Georgian Bay between Penetang and 'Manitoulin, to enforce the fish and game laws. The difficulty is to secure a game warden who knows the territory amd yet who is not a resident of the district he patrols. The resident game warden is a weak institution. He pinches the poacher only to have his cattle shot or his house myster- iously set afire, Hoping patrons will appreciate the effort to enjoy modern labour conditions, and e#tp pace "with Dryden's progress, ; Yours for brighter times, M.- ALLAN.
