Scugog Anglers on Lookout for Tag On 'Lunge Anglers have been catching a fair number of tagged lunge and bass in Pigeon and Sturgeon Lakes this sum- mer, These are figh that have been transplanted from the Nogies Creek Fish Sanctuary some seven miles north-east of Bobcaygeon, and the tag is in the form of a small plastic disc tied to the left cheek bone with mono- filament line. Each tag bears a num- ber which identifies the fish and thus enables fisheries workers to look up its history. -- The Nogies Creek Maskinonge Con- sérvation Project is. a joint effort car- ried on by the Toronto Anglers' and Hunters' Association and the Depart- ment of Lands and Forests. There is a draw for a cash prize on the return- ed tags from lunge and bass and the anglers are requested to forward tags and information on the capture of the fish to P. O. Box 187,-Bobcaygeon, Ontario, or to the Dept. of Lands and Forests at Lindsay. If a tagged, sub- legal fish is caught, the tag should be clipped off, the fish measured (if pos- sible), and then carefully returned to the water, ; Tagged lunge are also showing up in Lake Scugog. These are fish that have been similarly tagged during the research work of Dr, R. C. Ritchie on maskinonge in Lake. Scugog and tags from fish in that area should be re- turned to Dr. Ritchie, c-o Banting In- stitute, 100. College Street, Toront.

Samaria, August 18th, from Quebec, Our Canadian Cattle Breeders = A couple-of points came up at a recent meeting in Ontario of cattle breeders from all parts of the world that should be of interest to the On- tario farmers and the Ontario con- sumer, - : The breeds of dairy cattle known in this province are all of European ori- gin and were brought to their present standards, in most cases, on European soil. But the thing that should inter- est Canadians is that, while genera- tions of breeding have brought about uniformity of appearance to quite a degree the richer soils of this conti- nent have a lot to do with productivity. Briefly it means this--the cow that has all the desired qualities in Europe, where : the soil isn't always so rich, cane a bétter producer here. What's more she frequently is. : And so, no matter how the European breeders may boast of their bloodlines, which they are entitled to do, the Can- adian breeders can boast of their pro- duction levels. . For the consumer it means more and better milk and cream, and richer butter on the table. ; In recent years too, Canadian breed- | ers have been doing a fair job of keep- ing pace with the Europeans as pro- ducers of breeding stock. ; It's just possible that some day Can- adian cattlemen will not only be turn- ing out better butter for consuming public, but may even be exporting cattle.to the homeland of some breeds, --North Bay Daily Nugget ' Agricultural chemicals and plant food, fumigants to protect stored crops and chemical aida to the food preserver and processor are estimated to increase by one' third the quantity of food reaching the ultimate con- sumer, ---------- Recover Body of Oscar Welsh Uxbridge. -- The body of Oscar Welsh, 63, was recovered from Mill Creek, which runs through this town.

Myrtle and Greenbank and also No, 7A highway from Marchester to Port Perry. I am sure that the residents of this district will be quite pleased to see this paving become a reality, as these roads have been in poor shape for quite some time, especially No. 7A 'from Manchester to Port Perry, Permanent Plates Asked The Ontario Retail' Gasoline and Automotive Service Association Mon- day suggested adoption of perman- ent licence plates for vehicles in the provinde, In a brief presented to the legis- lature's select committee on liens the association said the system would provide an easily-obtained record of a vehicle's movements for police, gov- ernment registration offices or any- one needing the information. The association also endorsed es- tablishment of a central registration office which would protect persons buying used cars if at the time of purchase they were able to determine whether there were any liens against the car, ; A central registry scheme, the brief suggested, would require that all owners have a certificate of title which would have written on it the amount of the chattel mortgage every time money was borrowed on the car. Besides this, any original financing of the car. would have to be shown. Each time any firm either financed, refinanced or loaned money with a car as security, they would only do so if certificate of title: was produced and the amount entered on it at the time of financing. Fall Wheat Yields 71.5 Bus. Per Acre In a previous news item, E. A. Summers predicted a few fields in the Sixty Bushel Fall Wheat Club would yield well over sixty, bushels per acre. Mr. Ed.

This field has now been combined and weighed with the Genesee kielding 71.6 bushels per acre and the Dawbul 62.6.

It had apparently granced off a tree and entered the north-east corner of the building, ripping down through the roof and into the bedroom in which Mr. and Mrs. Vance were sleeping. Mr. and Mrs. Vance both had their hair singed as their bed was situated in_ the corner where the lightning came in. As it ripped through the roof it split timbers and moved the brick wall cn the east side out at least six inches. On entering the bedroom, one complete window was knocked out and plaster was strewn over most of the room, as it followed the wires down stairs to a newly decorated room, where damage was done in several places and a small fire was started in the petitions, After finding that his telephone had also been damaged by the lightning and would not work, Mr. Vance jumped McKEE TRANS -CANADA TRO- PHY WINNER for 1953 is Franklyn Young, Operations Manager for TCA's Central Region.
