First of dll I would say to protect the fish during spawning scason as it is obvious that if the female fish are allowed to be caught, speared or otherwise destroyed, there will be no eggs, fry, nor small fish to grow into big fish, * pe The next. thing is' to protect the eggs and give them a chance to hatch out, This means to get rid of enemy fish who eat eggs or other fish. The small fish are the next to care for, One great logs in Lake Scugog is from the water going down and small fish getting caught in the shal- low pools, which as the water gets lower and lower eventually dry up and all the small fish inithem are thus killed. The government should he urged to keep up the water levels. Often the lower lakes want water and the gates are opened at Lindsay and water that we_cannot afford to lose is let into Sturgeon Lake. You can see from this that although a female fish will lay' many thousands of eggs, yet the logs is tremendous .| and only a few of the eggs which arc hatched out ever grow into big fish because one enemy after another takes toll of them and if the female fish are spared, speared or 'caught 'in nets before they can lay their eggs we would soon have no game fish left, that means the Game Wardens must be watchful and always alert, Next, the young fish whe have es- caped these dangers should have pro- tection by not allowing the fishing season to he too long, nat allowing fishing from motor boats, limiting the number anyone is allowed to catch in one day and making them put back into the water any small fish caught. If these regulations are carried out and every citizen should make it his business ta see that no one is allowed to break them and get away with it, we would have plenty of fish for all real sporting fishermen" who enjoy : fishing in season and who'are too good sportsmen to abuse the privilege. This would attract tourists here from all parts and we would have a big summer colony every year which 'would also help bring business and money to Port Perry. The government should look after the carp each year because they de- HOW TO MAINTAIN BETTER FISHING IN LAKE SCUGOG JUNE 16th, 1988 the Prize Essay, written by Shirley Gilboord, 14years old, a pupil of Port Perry In competition with eighteen other silver cup donated by Mr. stroy the eggs. The water should be kept up one foot higher than it is now because when the 'lunge lays its eggs, the female and male go side by side in a circle and the female drops the eggs, and when the water goes out the eggs which are laid in a shallow place are decayed, and therefore we have no young lunge, The bass lays its eggs on a nest, which is often a stone or old log or anything of the sort and the nest is always kept very neat and clean. The lunge leaves her eggs but the bass stays and keeps guard over her eggs until they are hatched and can care for themselves. When a female bass is keeping guard over the eggs she will jump at any little object to protect them. When fishermen are fishing and she sees a hook or anything she will dive at it 'and is often caught that way, therefore fishing should not be allowed during the spawning season. After we once have the fish we have no trouble in attracting the people. As it is natural, if you go to a concert and you don't like it you wouldn't go again, and you tell your friends about it and finally no one goes to the concert. Well, it happens with fish- ing, skating or anything. It is plain human nature, Some people. will not go to places which haven't a good appearance to attract them, Perhaps if we had more signs lead- ing to Port Perry it might help, or re- pair the country roads leading to Port Perry, If we had a park many a family would come, the older people could enjoy the comfort and shade ot the park while the younger people went fishing, Take away the dump and build a nice, long, sandy beach. I once heard a man say he was coming from the east, as he came down Black's hill he thought to himself he would stop in and have a nice swim to cool himself off and go fishing, as he came to the dump it turned his impression for Port Perry, completely opposite to what he had been thinking, so he stepped on his- gas at the Main street, and went right on up the hill. This shows what a dirty dump may do to a town when they could do better. If we had the weeds cut down and had clearer water for swimming this and many other small objects could at- tract thousands more people to Port Perry. cerning this County were growing less as the years passed and it behooved us not to wait too long to gather to- gether all the historic records avail- able. At the January session of the council, this task was assigned on the suggestion of His Worship the War- den, to a special historical Committee comprising Reeve A. W, Jackson, ot Whitby; Frank Gerrow, Scugog; W. M. Letcher, Port Perry; James Blan- chard, ex-M.P., Cannington; and him- self. . Realizing the magnitude of the task, this Committee approached Dr. T. E. Kaiser, Oshawa, who very kind- ly made known to them the fact that he was in possession of certain his: toric information which he would be very glad to turn over to the County. The committee accepted this kindly and generous offer and as a result this gathering would witness the formal presentation of an oil painting of Hon- T. N. Gibbs, first Warden and the Book of Remembrance constituting a record of service of all who served overseas from Ontario County, Dr. Kaiser's Address He first referred to the painting of the Hon, T, N. Gibbs, he stated that it was painted 76 or 80 years ago by a notable artist while he was a mem- ber of the House of Commons. It was not a public picture but painted for the family. He built the property known as Bishop Bethune College which was his home and his family hung the picture there where it re- mained until his death in 1882. Briefly Dr. Kaiser explained that the portrait was the direct gift of the grand- daughter of the late Hon. Mr. Gibbs, Mrs. Mary Ferrier Robertson, Kelona, B.C., whose mother had recently pass- ed away. It was a strange co- incidence said Dr. Kaiser, that Mrs. Robertson's mother died on the very day that work. .was started tearing down Bishop Bethune College, the old family home. . History Reviewed Dr. Kaiser reviewed briefly the his- tory of the Hon. Mr. Gibbs, his ser- vices as a member of parliament, us a member of the Senate, reeve of Osh- awa, warden of the county and a guiding spirit morally and financially in many of the community enter- prises. It was therefore, fitting said he, that an oil painting of him should occupy a prominent place in the coun- ty"s legislative hall.

Dr, Kaiser called upon his hearers to guard well: those things that had made her and would keep her great. The heroic elements [of mankind were not yet out of ex- istence, he pointed out. It was well that we might stop for reflection and pay some heed to the men, who by their spirit of self-sacrifice, had saved for us the privilege and the land which we now enjoy. Let us guard and cherish these faithfully. Interested in Problems. Dr. Kaiser was pleased to see the wide interest being taken today by Canadians in the Government of the country. Never before, he said, had he seen such an interest visible as was in evidence today. It was a sign that the people were alive to the important problems facing them and were willing and eager to lend a hand to those in authority. This he stated, was as it should be. Dr. Kaiser was not in favour of the abolition of County Councils, This branch of civie govern. ment brought together the flower of the county, men inspired with high ideals of service, men who were close to and realized more than any other governing body, the real and vital needs of the people. In the County Council, he saw a training ground for men who had gone out and would con- tinue to go out to render services, to serve in larger fields of governmental service. It would be a mistake, said Dr. Kaiser, if such a body as the County Council was abolished, ------ oe ---- DIED SELLARS--At Prince Albert, on Monday, June 13th, 1938, Mary Jones, wife of the late William Sellars, in her 96th year, i es PGE es eae DIED STEELE--In Reach Township, Lot 1, Con. 2, on Monday, June 13th, 1938, Elizabeth McCoy, beloved wife of the late Wm.
