For those who want to fish through more than one hole at a time, it is a good idea to rig up some flag signals to let you know when a fish has taken the bait. Most sporting goods stores carry a supply of inexpensive "tipâ€"ups"‘. Fish are generally found in deeper waters during winter; in places where a spring bubbles up from the bottom, or where a healthy growth of aquatic life is in evidence. The white paper technique is ~being used by the federal cabinet more to explain and justify future legislation than to afford an opporâ€" tunity for dialogue concerning tenâ€" tative proposals, K.R. MacGregor, Mutual Life of Canada president, charged at the 1Q1st annual meetâ€" ing of the company today. It appears the government does not contemplate parliamentary committee hearings with respect to the recent white paper on inâ€" come security, he said. He questioned whether these proposals in the long run are likely to provide the best ultimate soluâ€" tions to the ageâ€"old problems of those with insufficient means. ‘‘The changes in approach to income security over the years have been strikingâ€"so striking indeed, that they demonstrate conclusively that the policy of the day is not always right or farâ€" sighted,"‘ said Mr. MacGregor.

Ice fishing enthusiasts believe many species, caught in cold weather, are much better eating than fish taken from the same watâ€" ers during summer months. The flesh is apt to be more sweet and firm rather than soft and muddyâ€" tasting. He said the scheme failed beâ€" cause the incentives were insuffiâ€" cient. He referred to the Government Annuities Act of 1908, â€"saying its major objective was to encourage thrift among wageâ€"earners through sale of annuities at cost, or less, in order to avoid the need for general oldâ€"age pensions. 10 © We Welcome you to compare Price and Quality ®@ 30 day money back guarantee 40% OFF DIAMONDS WATERLOO SQUARE â€" Income security plan is questioned HATASHITA JEWEL SHOP log Chronicle, Thursday, February 4, 1971 In his yearâ€"end report Arthur H.

Referring to present economic conditions, Mr. Taylor noted there was an increase of over $1 billion dollars in the money supply of October and November last year. ‘‘These .factors should more than offset the uncertainty of tax changes, narrowing margins of profit and the adverse effect on many industries of the strongâ€" er Canadian dollar."
