Licenses in Lindsay Officials were invited to dig up facts and figures regarding the Trent Waterway System, to modify existing statistics and bring out the facts and figures. They discovered that the traffic in all kinds of water craft has trippled in recent years. For instance over 4,086 boats locked through at Bobcay- geon in 1959 and Lindsay had a lock- age of over 600. The lockage at Bobcaygeon showed an increase in one year of over 800 boats, the highest figure for one day being 115 boats. Facts also disclosed that over 3,000 boat owners were issued permits and licenses at the Lindsay Customs Office the number having increased by hun- dreds in the last two years, Although the Scugog River from Lindsay to Port Perry is not officially charted, it is part of the Trent Canal Waterways system. The channel on the Scugog River is only listed at a mere 4 feet ih depth and the channel from Lindsay to Sturgeon Lake is set down at 6. feet deep; although the Lindsay-Sturgeon Lake channel was cleared of weeds and sunken logs and stumps a couple of years ago, appar- ently the passage way to Lake Scugog has not been cleared of stumps for several years and boatmen have had difficulty deciding between stumps and buoys. Witch Stories Editor's Note-- The following item was sent to us by Mr. Wm. Dowson of Willowdale, who obtained permis- sion to reprint it from Mr. J. Fairfax- Blakeborough"s column in the Darling- ton and Stockton Times of Co. Dur- ham, England. A North country Master of Hounds in a letter to me says: "I read in one of your books that you heard from the lips of an old Bilsdale huntsman, that on several occasions a local witch by name of Peg Humphrey had been run by hounds when in the shape of a hare. Once it is recorded, the pack ran her to her house and the whipper in saw the hounds "click hold of a leg" as she disappeared through a drain hole Those following were very frightened of the consequences, and when the huntsmen entered Peg's kitchen they found her in her natural form, panting and examining an in- jured leg. This belief that witches assurhed the shape of a hare to disguise their com- ings and goings was pretty. general a century ago. This week I was much interested in a story in "Sporting An- ccdotes" (published 150 years ago), which tells of a witch believed to have taken the form of a fox. I have never heard this bit of witch lore before, sb I have copied part of the story which will probobly interest you. It tells of hounds running a fox to an old wom- en's cottage, where scent and all trace of the quarry vanished, and concludes "There were some among us, partic- ularly the huntsman and the whipper- in, who declared that unless the old woman was set adrift we should un- kennel no fox that day. They believ- ed her to be a witch, who in the shape of a fox, we had hunted to the cot- tage in which she lived alone, There she had found it highly convenient to resume human form for the securing of her person. I know not what might have befallen her and the cottage had not the huntsman spied the fox on the roof top." 150 F't.

Pub- one of the highest production-cost areas in the world, and those who in- tend to survive commercially cannot ignore this ugly truth." The Ugly Truth The chairman of one of Canada's oldest and best known industries got up at the annual meeting the other 'day to explain why last year his com- pany spent over $60,000,000 establish- ing new plants in Britain and France instead of this country. Some People Are Just Plain Pig- Headed | Here is a front page story which appeared inthe Renfrew Mercury, one of Ontario's better weekly newspap- ers, It refers to a dispute between the Steelworkers' Union and the Dom- inion Magnesium plant located in Ren. frew. In a recent wage negotiation dis- pute, Dominion Magnesium offered the Union a wage increase of 8 percent now and 38 percent increase. a year from now with no other changes in the agreement. Now read this carefully-- the in- crease was offered despite the fact that Dominion HAD LOST HEAVILY for the past two years and was still in a loss position, "It just does not make sense to go any deeper," stated the company manager. "Our employ- ees are the highest paid in the valley. Since the inception of the Steelwork- ers Union at the company plants, over $146,000 in union dues have been sent by the company to the American un- ion. In the meantime our sharehold- ers are getting nothing" he added. Dominion Magnesium has evident- ly been priced out of the market with Norwegian and Italian competition, plus dumping from the USA. How does the matter stand at the moment? Latest reports are that the union is prepared to go on strike come hell or high water! Again we ask you to read the head- ing at the top of this article.

Whatever intrigue might be inferred from: Mr. Phillips story, no one would suggest that an enterprise goes somewhere else to court inefficiency and higher costs. It goes because it has to.
