(CP) -- Wild life problems affecting both Canada and the United States are under discussion here by representatives of the federal governments of both countries and of 13 midwestern states and three provinces. More than 50 officials have gath- ered at the Ontario forest rangers' school in the Haliburton Highlands for the 20th annual meeting of the Association of Midwest Fish and Game Commissioners. The associa- tion is holding its two-day session in Canada for the first time. Panels of administrative experts are . considering subjects ranging from the'future of fish hatcheries and zoning regulations through est- ablishment of a common basis of fish and game laws. Dr. W. J. K. Harkness, chief of the division of fish and wildlife of the Ontario Department of Lands and Forests, is presiding. I. T. Bod, director of the Mis- souri Conservation Commission, represents Missouri at the confer- ence. He is conference vice-pres- ident and Dr. C. H. D. Clark of the Ontario fish and wildlife division is secretary-treasurer, Represented are the provinces of Ontario, Quebec and Manitoba and the states of Colorado, Illinois, In- diana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, ~Missouri,: Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota and Wisconsin. Dr. Harkness expressed the hope this international exchange of ideas and experience would tend toward a general uniformity of adminis- tration so that sportsmen would find a similarity of conditions from state to state and a greater stan- dardization of fish and game laws than at present in both countries. and BARN" FIRE LOSS $25,000 Orillia -- Loss was estimated at $25,000 this mdrning when fire destroyed the barn owsed by Tom Brodie, 67, about six miles north of here.

Oxford Honors For Canadian LONDON (CP) -- Garrick Irwin (Garry) Clarke of Toronto, a stu- dent at Corpus Christi College, Ox- ford, has obtained first class hon- ors in Greats.

'| prices, BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT By GORDON MacKINNON Canadian Press Staff Writer The stock markets this week Trading Stays Slow In Summer Canadian and Consolidated Paper led papers higher in irregular deal- ings in the' industrials group. Golds seemingly were intent on prolong ing the 'summer doldrums' to the limit. Low volume and almost sta- tionary prices prevailed for the sixth syccessive week. ; Trading on the Toronto stock ex- change was the slowest since Christmas. Daily turnover was un- der the 2,000,000-share mark. At Montreal, advancing paper stocks again were the feature. Wall Street recorded steady to lower rails encountering mild selling pressure. At Toronto and Montreal, much of the small-scale activity centred in papers. Going to a high for the year on Montreal exchange aver- ages, paper stocks culminated an advance that has lifted the shares of leading companies an average of more than 15 per cent above their April lows. Montreal's star performer this week. was Dryden Paper. It >---- THE WEATHER TORONTO (CP)--Official fore- cast issued by the Dominjon pub- lic weather office in Toronto at 9:30 a. m.: Synopsis: The Atlantic hurricane moved out into the Atlantic off Cape Cod early this morning, head- ing in an east-northeasterly direc- tion. The weak disturbance, which caused one or two isolated thunder- showers in Southern Ontario Fri- day evening, is continuig to push southeastward away from the pro- vice. In its wake a northwesterly | flow of drier cooler air gives promise of perfect week-end weather over all of Ontario. Regional forecast valid midnight S::=day: Lake Erie, Lake Huron, Lake Ontario, Niagara, Georgian Bay, Haliburton, Kirkland Lake re- until jumped $15 to $50, its highest point since 1928, before settling back at $45. This stock's performance was outstanding, perhaps due to uncon- firmed reports that a large inter- national paper concern was nego- tiating to purchase a large inter- est in Dryden at $50 a share. On the Toronto exchange, Anglo- and n oils ad small amounts while base metals hov- ered near last week's closing levels. x Base metal interests expressed satisfaction at the firmer tone of copper prices toward the end of the first week of free dealing on the London metals exchange. How- ever, market analysts said a re- turn to more stable copper prices awaited the United Sfates govern- ment's decision on whether or not to buy Chile's 60,000-ton surplus. Prices at New York opened the week on an easier note, brightened late Tuesday, then settled steady to lower until Friday's downturn. Rails were the market's "weak sister." From Friday to Friday, Toronto indexes showed industrials up .41 at 313.10, (highest level since early April, golds up .77 at 78.60, base metals down .61 at 153.20 and west- ern oils up .44 at 105.19. Montreal averages had papers up 8.07 at 718.68, banks up .13 at 34.27, utilities up .1 at 95.8, in- dustrials down .5 at 189.8, com- bined down .2 at 158.5 and golds up .04 at 57.87.

(CP)--A bald eagle that's about half-a-century old is' regarded by its master, George Clark, as a fine watchdog. He's known simply as "Eagle," and all the dogs in this neighbor- hood give him a wide berth, be- cause he can be fierce at times. At other times, he seems as gentle as a kitten. "Eagle" was shot down on Bur- naby mountain in 1906. The hunter, Bill Fox, adopted the bird and treated the wounds, and later it was transferred to George Clark's home. "When I hear his scream," said Clark, "I know there is someone strange around. The bird is the finest watch dog there is. No dog around here can stand up to him, and he's torn several cats to pieces. local radio stations. This proved to be a very interesting program. Mrs. A.

Lack of rain in the Ottawa drain- age area has so drastically reduced the flow of the Ottawa river and the level of the two storage basins supplying it that power rationing would be a must if hydro did not have the steam plants to fall back on, he 'said. During the first week of August, 1948, when it was first evident power rationing would be required, the storage tanks were 93 per cent full, The flow of the Ottawa river was 25,600 cubic feet a second. The picture now is this: Stor- age tanks are 53.7 per cent full and the river is flowing at the rate of 22,500 cubic feet a second. By the fall of 1954, part of the new Niagara plant will be in op- eration, and the commission hopes to have sufficient power from all sources.

The Worries of Having To Much Food In Hand In its first seasonal forecast Friday, the bureau of statistics estimated the 1953 crop at 603,- 793,000 bushels. But experts em- phasized that this was only the first estimate. Not only is the crop late, but part of it also has already been hit by rust. It could also be hit by frost later in the season. | However, taking even these crop- | lessening factors into account, | Canada may cut an above-average { yield at a time when world storage bins are stuffed. The bureau earl- ier this week estimated stocks in Canada, the United States, Argen- tina and Australia at 1,188,500,000 bushels at July 1, more than double the 566,800,000 held on the same date last year. By HARVEY HUDSON PARIS (AP)--The long, costly series of French strikes seemed today to be running out of steam. It was still too early to say when the work stoppages might end or that there would be no recurrence --but enthusiasm appeared to be waning. No new walkouts were announced Friday, and a few small--but per- haps - significant--breaks were ap- pearing in the solid front the strikers put up tae last week. Although most of the demon- strators were still off their jobs, there was no way of estimating the real strike strength. Today is As- | sumption Day, normally a holiday. | The big test will come Monday and Tuesday, when the holiday week-end is over and many work- iid are due to report back to their obs. The only new strike scheduled is a one-day walkout for newspaper Breaks Appear In French Strike plant employees Monday. The unions have agreed, however, that the publishers would be permitted to shut up shop today instead of Monday if they wished. A Communist-led attem to spread the strike among laborers as well as civil employees appar- enfly has failed so far. ficial sources estimated that 2,000,000 persons actually quit work al- though strike calls went out to 4,000,000. The stoppage included workers in the postal, telegraph, telephone, gals and electric service as well as railroads and coal mines. Government civil servants also left their jobs in protest against Premier Joseph Laniel's economy decrees. The government measures designed to halt the drain on France's near-bankrupt treasury included upping the retirement age of civil servants and firing surplus government employees. Defeat A WINDSOR, Ont, (CP)--A valiant | effort to swim Lake Erie from Point Pelee to Cedar Point, Ohio, ended in failure Friday night when William Sadlo, 51-year-old grand- father from Brooklyn, gave up 15 | miles from his objective. | When Sadlo climbed into the es- corting motor launch dhe had been in the water 15 hours and 20 min- utes. "I could have gone~for another couple of hours," Sadlo said, "but I never could have made the American shore and there was no sense continuing." Lake Erie Waters Grandpa Jerry Bake, crewman on the es- cort vessel, said that everything had gone against the Brooklyn swimmer. "If the wind had been from the north or if the water had been calm Sadlo would have made it," he declared. The attempt ended at 7:45 p. m. Friday. The party spent the night near Pelee Island and reached Leam- ington about seven a. m. today. Coast guard boats and private craft from Cedar Point hours hunting for Sadlo after they lost sight of him last night.
