THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE Published by Times-Gazette Publishers Limited, 57 Simcoe St. S.,, Oshawa, Ont, ~~ Page 4 Monday, July 21, 1958 Regulations For Trout Fishing Need Overhaul Fishing a district trout stream a few days ago, we counted seven dead trout in a stretch of less than half a mile. The fish were all under the legal size of seven inches, had obviously been hooked and then tossed back into the water, It was sheer and unnecessary waste. The blame rests not so much with the fisherman as with the regulations governing trout fishing. The angler can use any sort of line, bait or hook to take the trout, but he must return any fish under seven inch- es to the water, There is no doubt that large numbers, possibly most, of the trout so returned, fail to survive, be- cause they have been too badly hooked or too carelessly handled. The fisher- man may return home with an empty creel -- but he has often left behind him a legal limit df dead or dying fish, There would be less waste and probab=- ly more live fish in the streams if the seven-inch limit were removed. Most of the damage is done by fish- ermen who use live bait; and live bait is used by most of the fishermen, For every angler using flies, there must be five who use worms -- at least, that is the impression gained from fishing streams in all parts of Ontario over over several years. With the fly, of course, the fish is rarely anything but lip-hooked, while the worm is swallow= ed and the hook goes deep. To romove " the deep hook is to kill the trout; the line can be cut, leaving the hook in the fish, but the trout's own struggles be- fore being landed have probably done grave damage before the line can be cut. The Department of Lands and For- ests then, has a choice. It can continue the present wasteful regulations; it can forbid the use of live bait in trout fishing; or it can remove the size limit, Purists would undoubtedly like to see fly fishing made the only legal meth~ od of taking trout, but enforcement would be extremely difficult. The best choice, from a conservation standpoint, would be to remove the size limit -- and at the same time to reduce the possession limit of speckled trout while increasing that of brown trout, but that is another argument, Finance Ministers Meet When the Commonwealth finance ministers meet in Montreal this fall, they will spend a lot of thought and talk on these questions: what attitude the Commonwealth should adopt to- wards the European Common. Market; where capital is to be obtained for de- velopment purposes and what new agency, if any, is required to channel it into the projects most likely to bene- fit the Commonwealth as a whole; and whether they are prepared to accept some form of central discipline over their use of sterling balances, Canada, no less than the nations that use pounds, shillings and pence, is involved in these questions, It is in the interests of all the Com- monwealth countries, including Canada, that sterling should be strong enough to play an important role in world trade, But Britain's" position as the sterling area's banker can only be maintained so long as its clients exer- cise restraint. A country such as India, with huge development plans, needs money to finance them. A country such as Australia, whose exports have been dropping in the past year, needs money to maintain essential imports. To ob=- tain this money by heavy drawings on sterling balances held in London would quickly place the pound in jeopardy, especially during a period of lagging world trade. The pound rhust have enough back- ing for all the tasks it is called upon to perform. The finance ministers will be talking about that necessary backing. And Britain's Prime Minister Macmil= lan was thinking about it when he sought U.S, and Canadian support for plans to increase the world's money reserves, either by a revision of the International Monetary Fund or an in- crease in the price of gold. Opinion in London seems to be hard- ening. that what is needed is not new agencies but new money. There are already plenty of agencies, but they haven't enough money for what they are called upon to do. How Masefield Started It was in 1930 that Mrs. C, F. G. Masterman revealed the incident which started John Masefield, Britain's poet laureate (who recently became 80), on his literary career. The Manchester Guardian news ser- vice recalls that a young man called on her husband, who was then literary editor of the Daily News. The first thing he noticed was that the young man's bootsoles had parted from the uppers, and that every time he moved they squelched loudly. The young man asked if he could have a book to review. Masterman ask- ed him what his subject was, but, after an awkward pause, he said rather de- fiantly: "Well may I take a book and write something about it? You needn't take it if you don't want it." He was al- lowed to choose a book, took it away, and returned in a few hours with his review, Masterman looked at it and said: "This is dammed good, I will take it, and you can bring me anything you like." The young man lingered a little, and then hesitantly said something about immediate payment. He was told this could be arranged. And so a future poet laureate ascended the first rung of the literary ladder. Since those early days, of course, the world has had to take notice of what John Masefield thought and said, and his thoughts and writings have always been on the side of a wiser and more peaceful civilization, It was in 1044 that he asked a London audience: "Which are you going to choose -- a wise use of books or a mad use of ma- chines? Better and brighter humanity or better and brighter bombs? I think I know which the world will choose unless we give a determined and per- sistent lead." ; Sunburn Can Be Tricky Sunburn can be tricky.

That is the true way to abundance, CANDY IS DANDY, BUT -- OTTAWA REPORT Lambton Member Science Advocate \ By PATRICK NICHOLSON Special Correspondent to The Daily Times-Gazette OTTAWA -- The loudest, and long the only, voice in our Par- liament urging greater attention to our scientific education and re- search, has been that of the M.P. for Ontario's 'Chemical valley" --Mr. J. W, Murphy. Many years ago, that Conserv- ative M.P. from Sarnia proposed the settinz up of a parliamentary committee on research. He re- peatedly 'urged this. "Get that man out of my hair," demanded the then Trade Minister C. D. Howe. Too much industrial research is imported as a finished U.S.A. product, declared Mr. Murphy. Too little use is made of scien- tific brains in Canadian indus- trial and government circles, he insisted, with the result that there is little incentive for our youngsters to undertake scientific training and even less incentive for the few thus trained to re- main in Canada. The years have passed and the sputniks are passing overhead. But none of those sputniks are "made in Canada." Even t he short-sighted mock- ers can now see that Mr, Murphy was right. The cold war of today and tomorrow is being fought on the drawing boards of industrial research laboratories. and in training for this new cold war, we and indeed the whole free world are lagging disastrously behind the Russians, both in quantity and quality. ASKS SCIENCE FAIR Ever searching around for new means to stimulate interest in scientific education, Mr. Mur- phy's alert mind has now lighted upon a new scheme, This would enable every gadget- minded - youngster to strive for recogni- tion as the superman of his (or her) home town, even as the su- perman of Canada, praised and rewarded for ingenuity and in- ventiveness in designing and making working models of his favorite scientific gadget, whe- ther it might be a space ship, or a walkie-talkie or a booby-trap for teacher, or something called "X", a mystery novelty never thought up before. The means proposed by Mr. Murphy to attain this. worthwhile objective is what he calls a "Science Fair." His idea is that his own community, Sarnia, should appropriately set the pat- tern for Canada For! Sarnia is the home of our greatest concen- tration of scientific industries. At the fair, entries from all would be welcomed. Prizes would be offered for the most ingenious and the best-constructed models. Cost of construction of entries, of course, would not be a factor in the judging: A clever idea fa- shioned out of scrap lumber would outrank a humdrum model incorporated into gleaming steel. "My idea is a sort of Junior Science on Parade," Mr. Murphy told me, as he enlarged on his novel project in his parliament- ary office here. 'Science exhibits devised and constructed by dis- trict students themselves would be entered in an exhibition, which I hope would be repeated each year. And these exhibits would compete for prizes in ap- propriate classes." FILLIP FOR CANADA This idea is capable of being expanded into a nationwide fa- vorite, sweeping Canada year by year and bringing incalculable benefit not only to the compet- itors, but also to industry, to spectators, to. consumers gener- ally and above all to Canada. The competing youngsters themselves would find an incen- tive for hobby opportunities (in which fathers would happily join), Industries would benefit from the automatic self-selection of potential scientists. And win- ners would find themselves of- fered vacation jobs, scholarships, perhaps royalties on the patents of their ideas, and finally top- paying jobs for life. But above all, the Murphy Sci. ence Fair--perhaps first staged in Sarnia--would rapidly spread across Canada, and would stim- ulate interest in practical science for children, and thus foster the needed desire for technical ed- ucation, in which Canada so badly lags. The Science Fair would be an ideal project for a -patriotically- minded nation-wide organization to sponsor. Industry would co-op- erate enthusiastically, and en- quiries lead me to believe that that well-known body the YMCA would be glad to join in sponsor- ing a project which would at- tract our youngsters towards a worthwhile hobby and away from the many worthless crazes which lead to delinquency. FOR BETTER HEALTH Cerebral Palsy Victim Now Better Understood HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.n. 1 want to congratulate you, all of you. And I want to thank you, too. Specialists in the field of cere- bral palsy advise me that the stigma so long attached to this condition is vanishing. The pub- lic -- that's you -- no longer re- gards cerebral palsy victims as mentally retarded. Your attitude, God bless you, now is one of sym- pathy and understanding. ASTONISHING REACTION A friend of mine, an orthopedic surgeon, was present at an ice show a while back when a cere- bal palsy victim entered the audi- torium. This doctor was astonish- ed at the treatment accorded the CP patient by other spectators, and even by some of the skaters. Said the doctor in describing the scene: "Why, you would have thought the President was coming in! Everyone moved so the patient could be seated. And some of the skaters even put on a special show for him. It was a wonderful sight!" SOME FACTS ABOUT CP Now for the benefit of a few of you who might still hestiate to re- act this way in the presence of a CP victim, let me explain a little about cerebral palsy. First of all, it is not infectious and it is not inherited. Cerebral palsy is caused hy an injury to various cells of the brain, before birth, at birth, or at any time later in life by acci- dents, high fevers and disease. Muscular control is impaired or lost completely. This might result in awkward or involuntary mo- tions, lack of balance, irregular gait, giutteral speech, or any co- bination of these disorders. Also, cerebral palsy might af- fect sight or hearing. SLOW DEVELOPMENT Detection of cerebral palsy in infants usually results from ab- normally slow development of muscular control and coordina- tion, delayed walking or talking, or a delay in even attempting to walk or talk. Of course, only the family physician or a specialist can accurately diagnose such cases, About 10,000 babies are born with cerebral palsy each year, Of the 550,000 CP victims in the \ BYGONE DAYS 15 YEARS AGO City Council authorized $20,000 for the improvement of Oshawa streets and road beds, following a city survey. Miss Dorothy E. Maher, of Pic- ton, was engaged by the Whitby Boatd of Education as teacher of household science, defence work, and girls' physical education at the high school. Vacant lands were in demand in the city. Assessor C, Luke re- ported 125 lots were bought al- ready this year. Mr. and Mrs. William Glover, of North Oshawa, held open house on the occasion of their golden wedding anniversary. Dr. R. J. Manion, three times a federal cabinet minister and leader of the Conservative Party until his retirement from political life in 1940, died suddenly at his home in Ottawa. Blood donor clinic set a new record when the monthly objec- tive was topped by 277 donors -- 22 above the former high. Bruce Russell, RR 3, Oshawa, was the 13,000th donor since the clinic opened. Another captivating band con- cert was played by the Oshawa Civic and Regimental Band in its series of weekly programs at the McLaughlin Band Shell. Sammy Pankhurst appeared as soloist with the band. G."M. Goodfellow and Judge D. B. Coleman played a leading part in preparations for the holding of the provincial election on Aug. 4. PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM "A jot of the time life isn't worth living" says Old Sorehead, "but there isn't any time it doesn't beat dying." The cantankerous and foolish traits of human beings serve to make life interesting. If everyone were perfect and wise, living in this world would be about as ex- citing as a hermit's rainy Sum- day afternoon. Why is it that many flower bushes have to be tied to the stakes to keep them upright, whereas any old weed can stand alone with the greatest of ease? The only cure for the fevers of vouth is age, and everyone knows what constitutes the cure for the infirmities of old age. Overhead: 'The rain we didn't get yesterday settled all the dust where there wasn't any." Obstreperousness is the father and ignorance the mother of the typical argument. On a few TV variety programs there is some good dancing, and on others the choreographers im- provise and direct terpsichorean features. APPOINTED DIRECTOR SASKATOON (CP) -- Dr. J.
