Con- sii'.orable educalional work has been done the past fet; years amongst fish- ermen to conserve our heritage in the streams. Nature has been assisted in re-stocking the streams by the De- partment of Game and Fisheries of Ontario and many thousands of fry, fingerlings, and adult trout have been placed in the streams of Grey County. According to information received by Mr. F. R. Oliver, M.L.A., the follow- ing quantities have been distributed in this district: Artemesia â€" Hydro or Eugenia Lake, 2,050 yearlings; Beaver River 1,000 yearlings; Miller Creek 1,000 yearlings. Glenelg â€" Firth's Creek. 1,000 yearlings and 5,000 fingerlings; Glen Creek, 375 yearlings; McCaslin's Creek 5.000 fingerlings; Rocky Saugeen, Tiaverston section 1,000 yearlings; Rob Roy creek 10,000 fingerlings.

It was particularly unfortunate that the first two days I was out it seemed necessary to make speches, one to the Ottawa Women's Canadian Club, which had already been postponed, and the other on the defence estim- ates, rather the 13 '-j million dollars increase for defence. A full dress debate on Mr. Grant MacNeil's motion, moved on going into supply, occupied practically the whole week. It read as follows: "This House views with grave con- cern the startling increases of ex- Ijendituie proposed by the government for purposes of national armament >n contrast with the inadequate provis- ion for the social security of all sec- tions of the Canadian people." -Mud to a depth of sAeral inches j and deep rUts on the roads of western I Ontario, St. Thomas district, was the | problem of many car drivers who , .; wished to travel back roads on Sun- day.
