His first, best country ever is at home." IS LIFE ONE GREAT DISASTER? If we were to take the daily news summary as a fair picture of life, we should be a hopeless peo- ple. The only redéeming feature would seem to be the deeds of hefoism in times of tragedy. But life is not like that, Day by day most of our people live simple, useful and happy lives. They perform their daily duties, contribute to the wealth of humanity, and bring up their child- ren to live in wholesome and industrious ways. It is true that tragedy does come to most peo- pleat some time in their lives; but it is not their daily lot as a rule. When tragedy does come, hope and courage are found to be rooted in that simple home lifé that sometimes seemed to be monotonous; but was the soil in which the virtues grew. ; x ,» The years may pass for most of us without any great testing time. But times without num- ber our people have shown their power to meet 'disaster and grapple with difficulties, and they have done it without any radio announcement or - - flourish of trumpets.

We do not trouble as to the self-importance of the other person, being too much occupied with our own.

Too LOVE, WAR AND CUSTOMS (Financial Post) Headline writers have almost forgotten the Honeymoon Bridge at Niagara Falls which crashed so spectacularly a month ago. But 'its demolition is producing strange manifestations. Until park authorities stepped in a few days ago, about 150 tons of steel had been salvaged by means of a steam derrick perched on the edge of the road above the Maid of the Mist dock, But someone recalled that the steel had been fabri- cated in the United States (away back in the 1880's so having ceased to form an international span it was subject to customs duty, That means each piece must be salvage under the eagle eye of customs officers and transported in bond to the Steel Co. of Canada plant to be melted. 'What will happen then? Well, since all is fair in love and war, part of it will be melted into souvenirs, stamped with a die of the old bridge, to be sold to future honey- mooners. The rest (it is expected) will be bought by Japan for purposes which most people will suspect are anything but romantic, >odg " EDITORIALLY, WE AGREE In scanning the editorials in the various Can- --adian newspapers, 'one is struck that they are written in a vein that is grit agreeable to our ideals.

Comic--Kathleen and Ruth Car- On Monday evening about twenty of the business men of Port Perry took a trip to Oshawa to hear Mr. A. Walkinshaw give a talk on Muskel- lunges The Oshawa Club had gracious- ly labelled this meeting as "Port Perry Night" and the large contingent who attended gave 'evidence of the in- terest Port Perry people are taking in the preservation of the 'lunge. Mr. Walkinshaw, who is Past Presi- dent of the Toronto Anglers, attri- buted the depletion of 'lunge largely to the illegal use of spears and nets. He said that ordinary legal fishing did no harm. Referring to days of forty | years ago, he told of times when Lake Scugog provided 250,000 pounds of 'lunge--out of a total million pounds for-the Province. In those days com- mercial angling was. permitted, and the lunge were sold as low as Cc. a pound. That day is long past, both as to the quantity of 'lunge available, and the legality of commercial fishing. The problem now twofold--the con- servation of the present supply of 'lunge, and the artificial propagation of this fish. To grow 'lunge artificial- ly is a difficult task, largely because of their voracious appetites, and be- cause they will not eat ordinary fish food, living almost entirely on min- nows and other small fish. Over a period of months--perhaps years-- this fish diet proves to be very ex- pensive. It is estimated that the cost of raising an' adult 'lunge may run from $4.00 to $5.00 each. In addition to the danger of net and spear, 'lunge are exposed to extinction' at the very outset if the spawn is not kept covered with water until the eggs hatch. Particular attention should bé given to see that the high water levels are maintained at the spawning sea- son for the spawn is laid in shallow bays and lowering the water an inch or two may destroy the life of the prospective 'lunge. One means of knowing whether lunge are disappearing from any pav- ticular waters, may be noted by the gize of the fish caught. If they are big, it is evidence that the big ones are not being replaced by young lunge --only the big ones being left. Mr. Walkinshaw had conducted a Province wide questionnaire regarding the disappearance of 'lunge, and read many interesting letters, Among them was om Greggry Clark, of The Star Weekly, who advocated re- stricted motor boat, and certain par- ticularly attractive lures. He also suggested that the season be closed on September 16th. The speaker favored the rod license, and the prohibition of spear and net. The latter is less dangerous than the spear. Once the fish is speared its life is ended, even if it is speared by mistake. When taken in the net, the lunge can be returned to the water. In Great Britain the policing of game fish waters is done by local authorities, who know the persons likely to do illegal fishing. In this connection, the Government welcomes the formation of Anglers Clubs, be- cause they create public sentiment in favour of protecting the fish. Because of the tremendous difficutly in raising 'lunge--the probable living outcome of four million eggs being about four thousand .fry--it is essen- tial that conservation should become the watchword of the Anglers Clubs. At the conclusion of Mr. Walkin- shaw's address, Mr. Brock, and Mr. Farmer were requested by President Mills to speak for the Port Perry dele- gation. Mr, Brock gave an expeér- ienced description of fishing condi- tions in Lake Scugog, and thanked the Oshawa friends for their goodwill gesture.

Mr. Farmer asked Mr, Walkinshaw what, in his opinion, would be the B C.| effect of placing northern pike in Scugog. Mr. Walkinshaw said he did not know, but would. hestitate to adopt" that plan to rid the lake otf carp. He also was not certain of the extent to which carp could- be blamed for the depletion of 'lunge; but ad- vised that Prof. Dyment and Mr: Harkness be consulted. It was further suggested that a definite program be drafted for the conservation of 'lunge in Lake Scugog. A very pleasing feature of the evening's informing entertainment was the presestation of an number of splendid moving pictures by Mr. Mec- Lean of the Canadian National Rail- ways. They were of unusual beauty and clearness, showing the glorious fishing grounds in Jasper Park, Al- gonquin Park, and parts of Quebec. Port Perry people thank the Osha- wa anglers for their courtesy, 'School Days By Margaret Hayes The Literary meeting last Friday afternoon was in the hands of Middle School. Excerpts from Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night" were pre- sented under 'the able direction' of Miss Spooner. The cast of the play entitled "The Gulling of Malvolio" was as follows: Olivia, a rich count- ess, Grace Demara. Maria, maid-in- waiting to Ilivia, Hazel McCrea. Mal- » volio, steward to Olivia, Ivan Dusty. Sir Toby Belch, uncle to Olivia, Don- ald Christie. Sir Andrew Aguecheek, Sir Toby's friend, Beverley Kent. Feste, a clown, Burgess Beare. Fa- bian, servant to Olivia, Morley Bruce. "The Gulling of Malvolio" from "Twelfth Night" is not related with any importance to the primary plot. of the play, but it affords an amusing ~ diversion. The "gulling" takes in several scenes in which Maria makes' a fool of the pompous steward Mal- volio. In Maria's words he is "a time- pleaser, an affectioned ass--so cram- med, as he thinks, with excellencies that it is in his ground of faith that all that look on him love him." Maria, who writes a hand much like that of her mistress, drops in his way an ob- scwre. love letter, which she has writ- ten. Malvolio falls all the more readily into this trap because he is blinded by his excessive vanity. Much mafriment is caused by the scene in which Malvolio finds the letter and reads it aloud, while Sir Toby, Sir Andrew and Fabian who are hiding behind a hedge on the stage, hurl in- sults at his back. The letter directs Malvolio to wear yellow stockings (a colour which Olivia abhors), to-go cross-gartered, (a fashion which she detests), and to smile on her a great deal (although she is very sad be- cause of the death of her brother.) When he appears in front of hen this way, Maria, Sir Toby and Sir Andrew say that he is mad, and he is put in prison. Poor Malvolio is certainly taught a lesson before he is released. LJ * * Doris Phair read 'an excellent in- troduction to the play. Feste sang the epilogue "When that I was a little tiny boy." * * * Mr. Harper gave a report at the end of the meeting. He not only com- mented on the various players but al- so gave some helpful suggestions for impfovements. Thank you very. much Mr. Harper, for a real critic's report. - * * « The two remaining Literary meet- ings for this year are scheduled for March 18th and April 8th.
