Torn MacElwee and Jimmy Eckford came out with perhaps the best trout catch of the year. They had eight speckled beauties. and the smallest fish weighed just under thiee pounds. This is no fish storv because we were there and saw them being pulled out of the water. Tom hooked one trout and 1t- was a battle right from the start. For fully fifteen minutes. we watched the battle. with our mouth drooling and eyes popping. before Tom finally brought him into the canoe. Name of the lake did you ask? Sorry fishermen. fishitary secret. Too hard-togetinto anyway. The weather was excellent, outside of a little shower in the forenoon. and the main thnig was that the fish were biting. Every- one we spoke to caught their limit. Prize catches were reported from Night Hawk Lake. Fish ranging from five to sixteen pounds were not uncommon. We invite your views and COmments on this subject. and with enough support in a form of a letter addressed to this corner. we can approach the Grounds Committee of the Hollinger, and request that the fences be moved to make baseball more interesting in the Por- cupine Camp. So come on you red hot ball fanSuand lets hear from i you. FISHING â€"- To anyone who had the misfortune of not being able to get out fishing for the' weekend, we want to say that you really missed something. The cost of having the fences brought in would not he too great. in our opinion, and even if it was, the fact that more people would become ball conscious would more than compensate the big mine. Sudbury. in past years have boasted a ten thousand attendance, and there is absolutely no reason why we can’t have as many people and more watching ball games locally. with the better ball field, and better seating aecomodation. With the fences where they are at present. fans don't know what they are missing, by having their favorite player on their favorite team, bang one out of the lot in the last inning. wth perhaps a mate or two on board and trailing by one or two runs. thereby turning an otherwise loss into a glorious victory. Its that sort of thing that makes ball fans go home talking to themselves. _ As long as it makes for better baseball, better attendance, and better gate receipts, we think, along with a. lot more far-us, that the fences in the llotlinger Park should be brought in to 300 feet or less. in right and left fields, and to 340 feet in centre. We have asked numerous fans and ball players and in seven cases out of ten they all agree with me that the 325 foot fence in right and left field is too far away for amateur ball. In the two years that the fences have been up. in the spacious Hollinger park. there have only been eleven round trippers hit. and out of the eleven homers hit. there have only been three players to do it twice. namely Levandoski. .Cooper. and yours truly. That only leaves five homers divided among the rest of the players in four teams for two years. Very‘small percentage we think. MostBig league parks are made to accomodate theri current long ball hitters. as in the case of Pittsburg Pirates. They have short- ened their left field fence forty odd feet to accomodate big Hank Greenberg, since they bought him from the Detroit Tigers. There are a lot of ball players in our league who are capable of hitting a ball 325 feet, but unless it is hit on the foul lines. it is just another easy out. Even if you are a long ball pull hitter. pitchers are going to make sure they are not going 10 {9861 you iESidt’ balls. thus ‘making it doubly difficult to hit a homer. There is no bigger thrill in baseball. than hitting or watching a ball being hit out of the park. Thats what the fans pay to see in big time ball. as has been proven in cases like Babe. Ruth. Ted Wil- liams. DiMaggio, and other long ball hitters performing in big league ball. and thats what the fans will pay to see. in our own little world ot‘ baseball. a problem on their hands this year. when Rally and Oscar Bussiere face each other on the diamond.

To represent the people a board should be set up representing all phas- es of life and the minoriiy of its mein- ers should be council representatives who are subject to change every year. thus leaving a majority of laymen who could plan without interuption. and thus avoid the present yearly change- over.

HOW TO PLAN THE FUTURE A belt of three to five miles should be designated around the outskirts of the main centres, namely Timmins, Schumacher, South Porcupine and Gol- den City, and this area should be‘ known as the Porcupine planning zone. There are many people who would like to see the gold mining area, but unless the people themselves, through a planning board. were prepared to sell the district to the public at large as one suitable for, and able to cater to“ the needs of the tourst, this added income and business opportunity would be ldst.-Well planned. carefully selected sites, where travellers Could be assured of comfort during their vacation would bring many thousands of dollars into this region, and would offer an alternative form of employ: ment to many of the residents. In order to plan successfully it would be necessary for all the com- munities to get together. each rep- resented by its own advisory com- mittee under one chairmanship. and by thus combining their power and representation they would be in much stronger position to make demands Upon both the provincial and the dominion governments. It would also prevent either of these communities from devaluing any section of the other by the introduction in an uncon- trolled man'ier of factories, or indus- ties, which would be detremental to a residential area. One of the first duties of such a planning board would be to care- fully lay out districts. each suited to business. factory. or residential sec- tions. They could together plan for power. highways. streets. sewage, and by the latter prevent unnecessary pol- ution to the rivers and creelts. A well planned town would also control the business section and the inroduction of businesses. To streng- then this point he emphasized that in order to mainaizi a successful liv- ing. a grocer must be able to'depend upon the custom of one hundred and twenty families. If the grocer trade was allowed to open up in an uncon- trolled manner, during trade reces- sions, instead of being able to keep the public supplied with goods and services many ’of them would be forced out of business, while the others due to curtailed income would not be able to maintain proper establiah- ments. At the present time in Timmins itself. there is an excess of business frontage and his could lead to a de- terioration during employment. set backs. Municipalities MS m WRCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS.

The most desirable recreational set up would be to have a park, or 1.).laying fields, not more than half a mile from any home within the community. After the master plan had been drawn up. and the machinery geared tain a properly balanced programme. for action, it would then be submit- ed to the Minister of Planning and Development for approval. and then become law.
