All County Councils in the Huron District, with the ex- ception of Grey, Oxford and Bruce, voted against an open season. Therefore, the De- partment acceded to the wishes of the ma- jority of the Councils. This means the poacher will get his deer if he manages to escape the Conservation Of- ficer, and the sportsman who obeys the law will not have a chance to shoot a deer legally. This is to be deplored because it has been demonstrated both in Ontario and the United States that a short open season does not elim- inate the deer but just reduces the number. It also means extra expense for the Depart- ment of Lands and Forests as they have to do extra patrol work, and there is considerable expense entailed in court cases. (By I. C. Merritt, District Forester, Department of Lands and Forests) ACCORDING to a recent announcement ade by the Department of Lands and Forests, • which the open seasons for deer in various arts of Ontario were given, there is no pro- ision for either county or township seasons n spy counties west of Lake Simcoe. Officials of the Department had recom- ended a general open season in order to hin out the deer population in the farming districts. There were numerous reports of eer damaging orchards; browsing farm crepe rid the valuable hardwood reproduction in oodlots. In some cases they had eaten main stems of small pines in new plantations. They continue to cause many accidents with cars, The Department has ae record of most of the ighwaY accidents as 'the Conservation Offic- ers send in reports of all deer picked up after accidents, Canada Declared Free Of Foot And Mouth Disease CANADA was officially declared free of cot and mouth disease this week by Rt. Hon. James G. Gardiner, Federal Minister of Agri- culture. All restrictions on the movement of livestock throughout Canada and all precau- tion,ary measures against the spread of the disease in Southern Saskatchewan have been removed. This action does not in any way change present floor price policies for livestock. No sign of the disease has been uncovered since May 4 when the last infected herd was slaughtered, Test animals (calves and hogs) have been on all infected and contact premises for 60 days or more and none has shown evi- dence of the disease. e This official action removes all quarantines and restrictive measures, including individual quarantine of former infected or contact prem- ises, and the general quarantine applicable to the infected area and buffer zone. Provincial restrictions imposed as a result of the out- break have been removed. Since the disease •was diagnosed on Febru- ary 25, 1,343 cattle, 294 swine and 97 sheep have been slaughtered': There was a total of 42 premises involved by the outbreak, 29 of which were infected premises and 13 were contact premises. The quarantine area involved only 21 rural municipalities of the well over 580 rural muni- cipalities in Saskatchewan. Active infection occurred in five of the 21 municipalities. PETER of the BACK SHOP I snuck into the front office yesterday morning, about seven thirty—before Mr. Cooper, even, had made an appearance, and by dint of much effort, clambered up on the counter. There, smack in front of me were samples of the dinkiest things for weddings— apkins, large and small, coasters, atch books—alI printed in sil- en in the daintiest way imagine ible—with the name of the bridal ouple, and the date of the wed- ng. Now that's just the thing or Minnie and me, says I to my- elf. Then I looked a little far- er and read the small print in- e the folder and land sakes, hey'll print 'em in gold, too, and hey probably have other colours, o you could get 'em for any oc- asion. And the prices' reason- bie? Why, even a mouse could see his way clear to buy them. According to the front of the ample • bqok, these things are printed by National-Detroit of of 'Carrada—and two local lads work for them. Stewart Cook is sales manager for all of Can- ada and Newman Patterson is' also employed there. By holly, when Jenny and I get married, e'll sure look into this. The fellas in the front office would probably order them for me. I wonder if we could get mouse foot prints—around the border— original anyway—and Alice sure does appreciate originality. What's that you say? It would be original if I married 'Minnie and Jenny, and Alice? Well, if I just marry one at a time, so what? What's Clark Gable got that I haven't? hm? And I'll bet he didn't have any prettier wedding station- ery than I can get right here, either. At any of his weddings! A gentleman in Walkerton Prepared to take his regular Saturday night bath. This is a common occurrence throughout the continent, we figure, be- cause those lucky souls who have hot water enough to make a bath a daily affair, still bathe on Saturday night, except mice, of course. It's still the thing for People to do, so to speak. Well, this Walkerton gentleman was a vigorous sort of fellow. He always put all he had into a thing, sort of "Well, if I have to do it, I'm going to do it right," attitude. We have no doubt that this ambitious gnetleman announced his wife in a ringing voice, "I'm going to have a bath," and pro- ceeded forthwith to do so. With the water steaming and ready, he commenced to disrobe, and being a man of vigour, he put more than necessary violence into the final kick which would rid him of his underwear. Before the force of this kick was completely spent his foot collided with the door jam, and his big toe got the worse of the bargain. Friends have been kidding him ever since about his broken toe, even go- ing so far as to suggest that he should follow the example of Bathless Groggins, and avoid henceforth, his Saturday ablu- tions.

The loss is heavy because Mr. Rath- well had just gotten his crop of hay and grain in. Insurance partly covers his loss. Parking cars sometimes four deep along Clinton's main street has proved to be inconvenient as well as hazardous, New traffic regulations now being planned are for angle parking on the West side of main streets; parallel parking on the east side; full stop at the intersection of Huron and Ontario streets regardless of the direction of approach, A fire in Clinton Knitting Co„ boarding room was put out with hand extinguishers before firemen could arrive. Practically no dam- age was done, A former resident of Clinton, who was an undertaker, expresses this opinion of the new gates at the cemetery, "The ones who are in the cemetery cannot leave and people who are outside are riot anxious to get in. Therefore the gates are unnecessary." Mrs. Gibbs and Miss A. Gibbs, Parkhill, were guests of Mrs. J. H. McLeod, Bayfield, on Monday. Miss Freda Schoenhala and Miss Doris Rurnin camped a few days in Bayfield, Miss Phyllis Crich returned to Toronto, Monday, after spending her holidays with her mother Mrs. Eli Crich. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Lyon, Newspaper and Radio Men Tour Hydro Project at Niagara • (Continued from Page One) design of two 500-foot long "gath- ering tubes" which •will lead water into the tunnels. These will be positioned off shore parallel to one of the main currents of the river, The "gathering tubes" will be' situated so that obstructions and floating ice will pass above. Immediately beyond the two intake tubes, two tunnels — the longest of their kind in the world will dive sharply to a maximum distance 330 feet below the sur- face. They will gradually slope upwards for five miles until they are about 200 feet below the sur- face of the earth. Then the tun- nels will make a sharp upward turn toward the surface. Here they will empty into a two and one-quarter mile open cut canal thence to the site of the gen- erating stations. The tunnels will have a finish- ed diameter of 45 feet and have a three-foot thick lining of con- crete. They will carry a com- bined flow equivalent to one- fifth of the average flow of the Niagara River or enough water to take care of the daily require- ments of a population of 216,- 000,000 people. It is thought that approximat- ely 4,400,000 tons of rock must be removed from raclr tunnel and it will take an estimated 972,000 cubic yards of concrete for the lining—sufficient to build a side- walk 3,500 miles long. Rock removal will, be made from five shafts, sunk from the sur- face and interspersed along the 5% mile route. These shafts were sunk off centre to permit the' removal of rock from both tunnels. Each shaft will mine towards each other, linking up the completed tunnels. The tunnels will surface near the Whirlpool Rapids and empty into a 214 mile canal, which could handle the largest ships in the world. The new canal will carry a flow of 40,000 cubic feet per sec- ond from the two tunnels com- pared with a flow of 16,000 cubic feet per second in the old canal. To complete this canal, approx- imately 16 million tons of earth and rock must be removed — if this earth and rock were placed in, huge 15-ton trucks lined bum- per to bumper, the trucks would reach across Canada and back a gain. The generating station, at the base of the 300 foot hill, will re- quire the removal of 1,700,000 tons of rock and earth. Deep gorges have been carved into the face of the cliff for the twelve 19-foot-diameter, 592-foot-long pipes each weighing 500 tons, which will lead water from the forebay to the rotating parts of the generators, Three camps capable of hous- ing up to 3,000 men, have been built to accommodate the army of workers needed in the project. Each camp is self-contained with their own sanitary services, hos- pitals, fire protection and recrea- tional facilities. Through the entire tour, Assist- int Field Project Engineer W. M. Hogg and Ontario Public Re- lations members Clare Burt and Keith Scott explained to news-, men each section of the work.
