Sautds FRENCHMAN'S BAY [5 ALMOST GLOSED Sand Reduces Entrance to Two Feet Six Inches Deep By 'ALBERT TURNER (Telegram Staff Reporter) Frenchman's Bay, Aug. 20--For the first time In 28 years commer- cial fishermen at Frenchman's" Bay are idle because they can't get out to the lake, while a fleet of more than 30 sailing vessels and dozens of out-boards and smaller types are trapped inside the bay with the collapse of the piers and filling in of the channel. "Lest vear we had 12 feet of wa- ter in the channel, and today you can wade across the bar without rolling your trousers' above ur knees," Rube Hill, veteran fisher- man, told The Telegram, While the fishermen are concern ed about losing their liveliiood and the pleasure sailors find their sport spoiled as their craft are "bay bound", the 500 cottagers around the Bay have another worry. If the bay-should become completely land- locked they fear it would become stagnant and at the present time only circulation provided is by wa- fer washing over the remnants of the west pier. Must The channel, which last year was 12 feet deep and 70 feet wide, has been réduced to a trickle of water 'two feet wide and six inches deep. It is along this trickle that" boat= N. | men. must haul their craft to reach' open water, Oldest residents of the Bay can- not recall a similar situation with sthe outlet being filled in so completely. They point out there has . been no. maintenance work done on the 'harbor entrance for several years, but are at'a loss to explain the sudden filling in this year, Several thousands of dollars worth of sailing craft are trapped on the'bay, it is pointed out, and 4d | some of the larger types are useless in such confined quarters. "The ratepayers have sent a pe- tition to Ottawa asking some action on clearing out the channel, and we have had an: ehgineer come down and look 'it over," one of the older residents told The Telegram.

Even the smallest craft, punts and outboards, must be carried across the bar, which 18 about 30 feet wide and a good two feet above the water levels Some of the "moths," smaller sailing craft of the Frenchman's Bay Yacht Club fleet, have been carried out to 'the lake, but, as the sailors 'point out, it is a hard haul and does not 'do the bottoms any good. Early this spring, by dint of hard work, two of the commercial fishing craft on the bay were hauled out to the lake and catches taken. Since that time, however, the channel has filled in completely, and one or two trips have been made in small punts at considerable. hazard to the fishermen. "I've been fishing out of French- man's Bay for 28 years, and this is the first year we have had to tie up our fishing boats," Rube Hill told The Telegram. "We have taken the engines out of one of them, and the other just sits here idle, We did try going out in punts a few times, but last week we were tipped out and we decided it isn't worth the risk." He explained that Frenchman's Bay fishermen were whitefish fish- ermen, and went out only about four miles off shore. In a punt, however, he added, that looks like a pretty long four miles to shore when it starts getting choppy. "Most of the sailing craft on the Bay are moths, but there are a few Nationals and a ketch here," he pointed out. "The moths sail around inside, but its pretty cramp- ed quarters for any kind of sailing. The Nationals are for lake sailing, so their owners have had sport this year." Older residents at the Bay recall the day when there was a grain | elevator and a lighthouse standing at the outlet, but these have passed into history. The grain elevator was taken down and rebuilt as a gravel eleva- tor on the west side of the channel, 'and'that too has vanished. All that remains of the piers are the ce- ment abutments on 'the east side with the rock ballast 'of the crib- bing -stretching out into' the lake, |' while on the west side only an irre- gular line of rocks marks where the piers' stood. NEW TOMATO CHAMPION Albert Faucher, 316 'Eulalle Ave, is the' champion' tomato grower in this area. He reports that he found 47 tomatoes growing on one. vine. His variety is called "Bonny Best." little | OATS AND BARLEY CROP CONTESTS Winners. in South Ontario " Are Closely Bunched The Ontario Department of Agri- culture has released the results of the judging of the Standing Field Crop Competitions in oats and bar- ley sponsored by the South Ontar- io Agricultural Society. The judg- ing was done by Gordon Hancock of Peterborough on July 17. In the oat competition there were fourteen entries and ten in the barley class. The different scores reveal the closeness of the contest and also the high standard of the individual entries. Eight cash prizes will be awarded in each class. One of the rules of the competi- tion is that each prize winner must exhibit threshed grain at the Osh- awa Fair, One of the shortest cuts to the lessening of the cost per bushel of cereal crops is in the sowing of seed of the best quality and strain obtainable. The contestants this year are to be congratulated upon the contribution which they are making along these lines, Oats Heber Down, R.R. 1, Brooklin, 93; J.
