In the old days their job was to encourage. foreigners to settle in ' Canada and to make the Dominion their home, : "At present there are many re- strictive clauses in the iminigra- tion laws but since the first of tha 'year approximately 2,000 settlers have been able to get through the tangle of immigration red - tape with which Canada's boundaries are now protected, Thes: settlers are self supporting and are bring- ing new money into our Dominion which is the chief 'red tape" re- quirement of the immigration department, The largest group came from the Sudeten area of Czecho-Slovakia. The second largest group consists of Catholics from Nazi Germany. The small- est group is comprised of Jews who have fled. the Hitler persecu- tions.

BAKER ONTARIO CREEL CENSUS A creel census has recently been* completed by interested parties in Eastern Ontario which shows that the average catch for the average fisherman is five fish per day. The census was based on 16,000 creel census cards collected from anglers during 1938... These 15,- 000 anglers fished 48,408 . hours and caught 92,967 fish, thus aver- aging three and a third hours for cach fishing trip and catching 1.6 fish and hour, Of the 15,000 fishermen repre- sented, 4,330 were trout fisher- men who spent 15,404 hours fish- ing and averaged eight-tenths fish an "hour. The average catch in non-trout waters was 1.9 fish an hour. Fishing. in trout waters was decidedly "better in tht northern regions than in the southern pen- insula district, Resident trout anglers caught fewer fish per hour . than did non-residents, the creel census results showed. Women Are Good Fishernien Other interesting sidelights not- ed in the census report were that women anglers who waded in and dropped their lines in the swift running brooks caught only half as many fish as men. But women - who fished the lakes were just as successful as the opposite sex. Of the stream fishermen, only four and a half.per cent. were women while seven per cent, of lake fish- ermen were women, - Restocking Depleted Waters If the total number of anglers were to be multiplied by the five fish averaged a day, the figures would run into startling totals. It is, therefore, obvious that anglers -must depend upon the natural re- production of native fish in wild waters for the maintenance of the fish supply and good fishing. Con- servation officials admit that it is impossible to keep our natural supply by planting from the hatch- cries, without natural propagation in wild waters. The hatchery can serve its purpose in restocking de- pleted watgrs, but the bulwark of sustained good. fishing is clean waters and adequate * protection for Spawning and young fish, Ducks Increase Mcre Ducks Breeding in Western Canada Than in Past Four Ye : ind ; According to Canadian field men connected with Dugks Unlim- ited, in Canada, there are more ducks breeding in Western Canada this year than at any time over the past four ypars. The incréase has been particu- larly noticeable among redheads, pintails, baldpates, blue-winged teal and shovellers. A fair in- crease has been noted among canvasbacks, ruddy ducks, and green-winged teal while scaup and goldeneyes . have shown but a slight increase, : .
