Prizefighting has nothing ' to commend‘it, and notwithstanding the gowcmmmommw - WWW The Fenelon Falls Gazette. Friday, July 8. 1910 Nothing to , Commend If. The eventnof the week 'has been the fight at Reno ; that is, more widespread and kecner interest has been taken in it than in any other recent occurrence, onl‘yiHalley’s comet and the death of King Edward being in anything like the same class. Since the fight occurred, figuring out why it was that the black man had such a snap, and moralizing on the badness and goodness of prize fight- ing in general, has been the order of the day. Jack London, who wrote up the affair for the News, says that unfair rebates and putting scrap iron into life preservers are much worse than prize fighting, and nobody has attempted to dispute his statement. But two wrongs don’t make a right, evenif one black interest manifested in Monday’s con- test, the “ sport " is being gradually discouraged, and promoters are having more difficulty each year in finding a . apiece in which to hold a fight. The {prohibition of pictures of the fight in moving picture shows in. Ontario by the Provincial Government will meet with general approval. Preserve The Fish. out by various. branches. of the Ontario : Fish and Game Pretective Association, asking farmers and residents in the neighborhood of fishing waters to help in the preservation of the fish by refrainâ€" _ ing from catching them in. the close sea- . .son,land by observing" the law in other respects. It is urged that it is infiniter more profitable to ,the farmer to see to it that the laws. obeyed than to in: dulge in illegalities‘ or permit others to ; do so. As an. illustration of what occurs ‘ when fishing deteriorates or disappears altogether, the experience of Mr. South- worth, of Newboro, is given. This gentleman for ten years ran a hotel on Charlestown Lake, which was so famous for the excellence of its fishing that, numbers of tourists from all parts of the ' country used to visit it. The local resi- dents, however, did not appreciate the value of this tourist traffic to them- selves, or the fact that it was the angling which attracted it. . Illegalities flourished; the fish gradually diminish- ed ; until Mr. Southworth finally had to . abandon the hotel as hopelessly un- profitabb, because no one would go there any more, the staunehest old- timers deserting it for better fields of 'sport, the stray angler visitor leaving hurriedly and utterly disgusted. Thus to-day not only have the residents and farmers practically no sporting fish, but likewise they miss the yearly harvest of dollars from the pockets of the visiting anglers. We do not think for a moment that farmers or residents of any district should be deprived of any of the natural products of the locality in which they live in order that outsiders may come in and enjoy them, and it is sometimes seriously questioned whether the fishing done by outsiders or the illegal fishing done by residents is responsible for any falling elf that occurs. Instances have been known where farmers have had a flock of partridge or a. couple of deer feeding on their own farms all summer, and on the first day of the open season somebody from town came in and killed all or most of them. Still, there can be no question that the destruction of fish and game out of season does a great deal of harm, more especially the catching of fish while spawning. The protective assnciations are doing good work in pointing out that breakch of the law are injuring themselves, even if they happen to avoid capture and fine. Address and Presentation. On Thursday evening the ladies of the Methodist church, held an open mission- ary meeting, when Miss Terrill, who was the delegate to the W. M. S. Con- vention held in_ I’eterboro, gave a very interesting report, and at the close, Mrs. Cragg was presented with a purse of gold, and M rs. Maybee read the following address : Dear Mrs. Craggzâ€" Now that the time has drawn near when you are to leave us, we, the ladies, ' Perrin, Nellie Pearn, Ada Akister, Ham- of the Methodist church, desire before you go,: to express our good wishes to you, and to show our appreciation of the work you have done during your stay among us. We regard your conduct and spirit as becoming a. Christian worker, and your zeal for our good as most worthy of a follower of Jesus Christ. Your noble, Christian. life, has ever had its influence for good on our lives, and your example cannot fail to bring forth fruit to the honor and glory of God. We realize that your devotion to our various church meetings has meant much self sacrifice on your part, and we can assure you that your efforts have not been in vain.- We pray that you may be richly rewarded for your labors, both in this life and the one that is to come. ' As a slight evidence of our esteem, we ask you to accept this purse, anchwe earnestly pray that God’s blessing, which maketh rich and addeth no sorrow thereto, may rest on you and yours, as you go to your new home and field of labor. _ Signed on behalf of the ladies of the Methodist church.
