'Com­ rade Doug Brintnell, our sports officer, seems to be having a lot of trouble getting the fellows out. I guess they are getting too old for that sort of thing. Doug will have to arrange something not quite so strenuous. I was up playing one Bunday this year and I was so stiff I .could hardly walk for a week and some­ one had the nerve to tell me: “It will get all those kinks out for you.’’ Last 'Saturday is the first time we have missed a dance on a scheduled night for a long time. The band called up and said they couldn’t make it through, so the storm must have been pretty bad around the 'Stratford area. They usually get here no matter what the weather is like. In fact, I have seen them but on nights I thought I was crazy to leave the house, so I guess we can’t com­ plain too much. It is getting rather hard to find something to write about each week, so how -about it fel­ lows—let’s hear from some of you. Surely someone has some in­ teresting subject we can write about. I know there are a lot of things which can’t be written about but possible some of you have some experience that you could tell about. * the Legion ■last Sunday to use two Named Chairman iSandy Elliot., Usborne Holstein breeder, was named chairman of the advertising and promotion committee of Waterloo iCattle Breeding Association at its an­ nual meeting in .Kitchener re­ cently.

Barley Contract By ROY TRIEBNER Hello again to our sportsmind- ed friends. In this column I would like to better your acquaintance with a 'Conservation Club and its possibilities in our town and sur­ rounding district. There is such a vast field -of activities connected to a con­ servation club, that each week we will deal with two or three from this field. This week we will talk on Hunting and Fishing in South Huron. (Some of my readers will pro­ bably remember when 'hunting and fishing in this area some 20 years ago was at its height with wildlife flourishing and the streams teaming with fish. I am not old enough to remember that era, but from listening to veter­ an sportsmen I can imagine how wonderful it must have been. What has happened to spoil these wonders of nature? The situation is becoming worse on account of population and indus­ try. In a few years if nothing is done to check, this, sportsmen will have to travel north to hunt small game as we do now to hunt big game. Sure the 'Dept, of Lands and Forest are doing all they can but they cannot favour a certain area, Therefore it is up to you and I to bring back that wonder- ful era of some 20 , „ So readers if you will support ami put youx* 'beaut into your con­ servation club wo will be able to do this. There is a possibility that permission can be obtained to use the Morrison Dam as a pro­ ject. This area and possibly a few farms around the dam could be posted and stocked with sma],l game and bird life. Also the river emptying into the dam would make an excel­ lent trout stream if the water temperature is suitable. Other Streams in this area if they were improved would make excellent streams to restock. Then as another project there is 120/0 acres of land belonging to the Ausable River Conser­ vation Authority which can be developed in Hay swamp. There is an unlimited number of pro­ jects to bring back the hunting and fishing in .South Huron such as feeding stations for duckssand geese etc. Next week we will deal with archery and horse back riding, German rearming, when fully under way, will produce some 500,000 troOps for about the same money Canada spends for 120,000.
