Ewers, much praise is due: Under his direction the heavy debt of a few years ago has been almost wiped out. But past achievements- are not sufficient and at the annual meeting opportunity will be given to discuss further improve- ments in the conduct of the Fall Fair. "It has been suggestéd that a "hobby" contest be started, and prizes given for such'things as model areoplanes, sailing ships, ete." Such a move should be welcomed by the young péople as an encouragement in the art of making things. Boys and girls who are busy making things generally develop well and keep out of mischief. "os . : Another class that has been suggested is one for "antiques". Recent events have shown a greatly increased interest in this line; and a collection could-be made to-day that may not -be pos- sible in a few years. 1 : ] - That was a good move to place that fence along the track in front of the Grand Stand. For years this has been a danger spot, and it has been a matter of surprise that no accidents have occurred at this point, for people have been very careless in crowding on to the track, and crossing at times when horses are running. An additional improvement could be 'made by filling in the deep holes in front of the Grand Stand. Some changes will likely be made in the place where the stock judging is to be done. The suggestion has been made that a roadway be cut from the stables to the centre around which the race track runs. . A proper show ring or rings could then be made and the stock judging could be carried on without dividing the crowd to the extent that is now common. Further accommodation for cattle is contemplated, and 'an offort will be made to revive local interest in sheep and hogs. In these two classes local exhibitors have been discouraged because breeders from a distance, who have specialized in various lines, have come in and taken all the prizes. When. these were excluded by a mileage ruling, no exhibits were made. Arrangements could be made to secure a better water supply, both for stock and for the building where the ladies' exhibits are made. { : The growing number of exhibits in the building has pointed to the necessity of building a small lean-to to be used by the secretary for an office. This would faciliate carrying on business with the exhibitors, and give much more room for the placing of exhibits. : As Port Perry Fall Fair is the only one in South Ontario outside of Oshawa, every effort should be made to make it a credit to the County and one of the best in the Province, This is a fine farming district, and a good Fall Fair is an essential part of the community equipment. ; A considerable amount of money is required to finance this enterprise, from which the residents of Reach and Scugog receive the greatest benefit. By far the largest share of the prize money goes to-the farming community, which is quite proper. The Di- rectors would appreciate greater support from the rural people. . It is quite evident that Hon. Duncan Marshall is going to bring the Fairs back to their proper service to the farming com- munity as will be seen by this item clipped from the Globe. - When Mr. Roebuck announced action would be taken against the owners of the games, Hon, Duncan Marshall, Minister of Agri- culture, announced that Government grants to agricultural fairs, big or small, would be withheld this year if these games were per- 'mitted to be operated at the fairs. alle ; Port Perry has been pretty free from the midway frauds for some years past, Ensuring a Fish Crop. ANNUAL CROP SYSTEM URGED FOR GAME FISH Ottawa, Jan. 8.--J. A. Rodd, Do- minion Director of Fish Culture, to- day proposed a policy which would embrance 'the active co-ordination of all game fish industries across Can- ada, His proposal, made before the Na- tional Fishery Conference, called for taking steps to develop the country's game fish resources on a sound and scientific basis; to co-ordinate and stimulate research projects and ex- perimentation and to bring develop- ment in freshwater fish culture more in line with scientific practice in the agricultural field as speedily as may be feasible. The Dominion official urged the view that fisheries should be regarded as annual crops to be developed and reaped in somewhat the same way as land "crops. Game fish resources should be treated as factors in na- tional wealth. "It is fairly evident game fish gen- erally in Canada ave not being main- tained at their former level or at an abundant level," he declared. More and more streams each year were "suffering from overfishing and, as "angling intensity continued to in- crease rapidly, it was essential that the situation be met. To meet it there must be a solution of various ques- tions, which could only be dealt with by research, investigation and experi- ment somewhat analogous to work that has been done in regard to agri- cultural problems, : Great need existed for additional research knowledge upon such ques- tions as the maximum productivity of lakes and streams, fish parasites and disease, control of enemy fish, proper stocking standards, and effects of soil erosion. Recognition shoffld be had of the principles of prior rights tor the fisheries in all . irrigation, drainage and water-power projects. "I believe the time has come when sport fishing should be placed in the same category as golf or tennis", W. A. Found, Deputy. Minister of Fish- eries, said. In Provinces such as New Brunswick, huge sums were paid out annually for guides alone. "I submit we have reached the point where sport fishing is such an asset, in the way of bringing large amounts of money into this country annually, that it would be well worth while for the: various Provinces to consider the desirability of placing sport fishing under permit only, even to their own residents." __By.so doing, Mr. Found declared the people in the community would reap the benefit of great expendi- tures of money in their district, and the attractiveness of fishing would be maintained "as an inducement tourists, to y DAD PP esimirmiiisinsinis Leadership School at Belleville A week of unusual interest. for young people of the United Church will be that of Jan. 20th-25th.

Administrators of is humanly possible, be free The exile of Lindbergh was not due solely to over much publicity; but to a sense of insecurity in administration of the law.
