the stouffville tribune established 1888 member of the canadian weekly newspaper association and ontario quebec newspapers association member of the audit bureau of circulations authorized as second class mall post office department ottawa issued every thursday at stouffville ontario in canada 200 in usa 250 a v nolan son publishers notes and comments fish hogs are back we suppose there are canadians who go into the united states and break their game laws we hope they are dealt with as severely as were the us residents who this week were caught with 117 more pickerel than allowed by their quota these ruthless fish hogs are people for whom we have no use they come into a country which fortunately because of sensible fishing methods abounds with pick erel bass trout and they proceed to make gluttons of them selves there is absolutely no excuse for this they fully deserve the heavy fines and the seizure of their valuable tackle they paid the fines but that does not restore the fish to our lakes and streams we welcome us visitors to use our waters and to enjoy our fishing but we think it is despicable when they abuse the privilege fortunately such characters are in the minority north bay nugget the people will object to higher radio license fees another suggestion has been advanced by a high offi cial of the canadian broadcasting corporation that radio license fees be advanced there is little doubt that this sug gestion will meet with strong opposition from the canadian public and rightly so the present radio license fee is quite high enough and instead of looking for more ways to tax the public to keep this publiclyowned corporation on firm financial ground those entrusted with its management should look within for the solution to its problem if the business isnt paying its way then there must surely be something wrong with the way it is being operated there are innumerable privatelyowned radio stations operating in canada which are to all outward appearances making quite a success of things and they are doing it without the aid of a 250 license fee collected from radio owners it is only reasonable then that the radioowning public should want to know why with its sizeable license fee revenue the canadian broadcasting corporation cannot make a go of it any suggestion that radio license fees be increased should receive a firm no until the whole financial structure of the canadian broadcasting corporation has been exam ined and every other remedial action exhausted perhaps if no other solution can be found it might be in the interests of taxpayers pocketbooks to disband the canadian broadcasting corporation and sell its holdings to private interests the red has your potato bags a shortage of used burlap bags may be an aftermath of the manitoba flood the millions of sand containers used to hold back the red river created a bit of a hole in bag stocks one trade source says prices of used bags might ad vance dealers across canada were pretty well cleaned out he said others were optimistic saw supply catching up in reasonable time used burlap bags thats what most bags shipped west were constitute a distinct industry the bags are a commodity unto themselves so to speak and because of lower price have markets of their own share some markets with new bags leave other markets almost entirely to new bags some bag businesses devote themselves exclusively to reconditioning used bags for the red river dikes they were just what was needed dealers speeded up movement of the bags to help get them to dike workers as soon as possible ample supplies were available as dealers were laying in stocks for the vegetable season a little later this year mainly affected by the flood are bags for potatoes and small feed bags ordinary demand has been brisk enough for the season bag men say though it was fortunate the demand from the flood area came in the nottoobusy spring season if they had wanted the bags in september or oc tober it would have been a catastrophe were swamped then in any case one dealer said the federal government sent about 15 million bags west the ontario government almost 500000 some east ern companies supplied quantities of more than 100000 bags to the governments some new bags were shipped but most of the total were used the flow of bags to the west has stopped winnipeg bag factories there are three of them worked seven days a week and according to one eastern trade source 24 hours a day estimated capacity of winnipeg plants is about 150000 bags a day the bags bolstered dikes as long as high water levels continued the new bag market will not be affected at all by the flood bag men say only an indirect result they say is an army request for tenders for one million new sand bags price of used bags might advance two or three cents one dealer estimated prices vary with weights and sizes some believe the supply will have caught up by july when potato harvests get under way used bag reconditioners vacuum clean the bags under high pressure sort them for sizes weights mend holes if any and print brand names of prospective users on them for many uses the bags are quite as satisfactory as new ones and of course are cheaper average price difference is 7hc to 10c bag life of a used bag is two or three uses some use once used bags proportion of total bags used that are used bags would be difficult to estimate one bag expert said usedbag processors used to have a good sized export market including belgium and the west indies exports have been cut by currency shortages abroad besides feed mill and farm use bags are used by in dustry used bags are bought by foundaries for holding heavy castings burlap the textile used is imported from india and pakistan it is made from jute grown in those countries political and economic troubles over there have cut ship ments of burlap and raised prices eeaessassesseeo york county in review 1615 14 the year 1800
