Fish and Game

Club n News
(By Don EPPa)
A warning to a few would be
anglers—it is unlawful to take or
attempt to take fish (of any kind)
wth ari unbaited hook. Persons
caught taking fish in this man-
ner can expect to have an extrem-
ely dim view taken of their ef-
forts.
It is however, legal to spear or
net suckers in the months of
April and May in the hours be-
tween sunrise and sunset,
—o--
A few of the mink trappers in
this district may he interested it/
know sthat 27,510 mink, worth ap-
proximately $550,200 were trapped
in Ontario during the 1955-56 sae-
son.
Tularemia
Muskrats have been the only re-
ported source of this disease in this
area although rabbits are also
known to be carriers. If a musk-
rat is found dead from an un-
known cause it would be apprec-
iated if the animal were turned
over to• your local- conservation of-
ficer. Tularemia is highly infec-
tious to man through the blood
stream. If possible the animal
should be handled with gloves.
Two cases were reported in 1956
in the Listowel area and . these
were known to have contracted
the disease through the handling
of muskrats.
Smelt
The smelt report to date in our
area is negative. In 'Lake Ontario
smelt were caught as early a's
March, 24. However the differ-
ence in temperatures between this
area and 'Lake Ontario is expected
to delay the smelt run here for
another week or ten days,
Tree Planting
More than a million and a quar-
ter trees were planted last year
in the Lake Huron Forest District
by the Ontario government, by
far the most of them by the De-
partment of Lands and Forests on
A triple combination proved too
much for the hard trying Clinton
Colts as they bowed out of the
WOAA round-robin playoffs on
Monday eight. Philipsburg Chew
drove the last nail into the coffin
with a 5-3 win. It was the third
loss for the Colts and although
they have one game left their last
hope is gone.
"Dan": C,olquhoun and Tom Col-
quhoun were pressed into service
for the final game to bolster the
Colt defence and even without
practice both players turned in ex-
cellent games.
Anstett Scores
The first period produced very
close checking with Clinton hav-
ing a definite edge in territorial
play. Haunn was tested many
times but always kept the rubber
out. Ray Anstett finally found an
opening with a screened shot from
the blueline.
Dan ColquMun duplicated An-
stett's goal half way through the
second period, Dan let his shot
go from 25 feet out and the rising
drive caught the top corner of
the net before Haunn could make
his move. Hugill and Anstett set
up the play. Hartley and Garon
were hurt a few minutes later and
then the Chevs really started to
roll. Arnold got into the clear at
13.53 for their first goal, Cal Hon-
derich tied the score 42 seconds
later and Ron Honderich gave the
visitors the lead at 17.10.
Colts Try Hard
With elimination staring them
iri the face the Colts made a de-
termined bid to tie the score.
Ehrat and Arnold combined to set-
up. Phillips with the Colts caught
in the Chevs zone. Denomme stop-
ped the first drive but the puck
dropped into the clear and the
alert Philipsburg forward flipped
the disc over Denomme into the
twine. 1VIcEevan revived Clinton
hopes with a rising shot that
caught the top corner over Haun-
n's elbow, but fate stepped in
again when a pass-out from, be-
hind the- Clinton net hit a Clinton
player arid rebounded into the
net,

Londeshoro Wins‘
Lorin Brown
Bowling Trophy
The bawling team from Londes-
boro have won the All-Star bow-
ling league crown for this season.
They defeated Blue Bombers on
Teesday night in the finals after
downing Bakers one week ago. The
playoff win completes a terrific
season for the Londesboro team as
they took the league championship
and the Lorne Brown Motors tro-
phy that goes to the team that
finishes in first place at the end
of the schedule, They recorded
the high team triple for the year
with 3552 and George Cowan, one
of the teams members had the high
average with 232.
Members of the winning Londes
bora team are T. Armstrong, Geor-
ge Cowan, Glen Carter, Ben Riley,
Gordon McGregor, Harry Tebbuit.
Blue Bombers who, made a de-
termined drive to take the title
finished in third place and ousted
the second place Chew in the
semi-final round.
Eldie Glidden took home two
trophies with the top score for
high triple 852 and high single

lands purchased by counties or
authorities as, part of conservation
programs. The Department of
Highways planted 64,000 to beaut-
ify roads and the Department of
Agriculture and the Department
of Reform Institutions also plan-
ted trees on their lands.
In closing I wonder if anyone
heard of the fellow who lost his
arm while duck hunting and as
a result had a great deal of troub-
le while fishing to put a worm on
his hook. He soon solved this pro-
blem though—all he does is hold
the worm in his teeth until he
hooks it.
