1 i h'\avck 20 * | unbar Staying, -- I Game Committee o _ e | Told by Minister _ & Y f 1 Game and Fisheries Minister] George H. Dunbar has no intention| of resigning that position. He madel that clear yesterday when the Leg--| islature's Fish and Game Commit-' tee met representatives from [ish; and game protective associations| from all parts of the Province. Previously, Mr. Dunbar hadl learned the Ontario Federation of' Hunters and Anglers intended lo!i suggest formation of a commission to administer the department, and,| obviously -- angered, Mr. Dunbar] jumped into it before it was| presented. "I have no idea of resigning no matter what the newspapers say,"| he declared. "I have been appointed| a Minister of this Government and| I'm going to stay there as long as| the Prime Minister wants me} there." ' He declared the Ontario Federa--| tion had held its annual conven-- tion at the King Edward Hotel, and "I hope you enjoyed your-- selves. We gave you $500 and so I hope you had a good time. I don't know what occurred there, but I read about it in the press. That is not so good. when you have to hear things at second hand," he said. Austin Peters, President of the Federation, later declared represen-- tatives of the Department had been present at the meeting, but through an oversight Mr. Dunbar and D. J. Taylor, Deputy Minister, had not been invited. He also de-- clared the $500 had been a grant to |assist in educational work and had \not been spent on the convention. 'The federation, he continued, was \now in a position where it would Inot need further grants and would I not again ask the Department for | one. \ _ Mr. Dunbar declared no one per-- son in Ontario could know the en-- 'tire Province, but that the Depart-- ment had a better overall picture of game and fish conditions. "The Department is going shead by leaps and bounds. Our hands were tied during the war and even today we cannot get materials to add to our hatcheries. "You have got to crawl before you can walk. I think we are using good, sound common sense and feeling our way along. That is the way we are going to do as long as I am Minister of the Department," he said. Henry Heineman, Pittsburg, president of the Northern Ontario Outfitters Association, declared he disagreed with Mr. Dunbar on men and materials. "At Marathon, there are plenty of materials and plenty of men to put them together on the construction of a new paper mill and townsite," he said.
