Game Warden
Warns Poachers
* During the spring spawning
period, fish are “sitting ducks”
for poachers who think little of
■the countless potential fish de
stroyed. Fox' 'this reason, Conser
vation officers of the Ontario
Department of Lands and Forests
will be on an around-the-clock
(schedule patrolling spawning
areas and making every effort
to give the fish the protection
they require and they look to all
sportsmen and conservation or
ganizations to co-operate.
At the first sign of spring
breakup, pike will be in the mar
shes and even far up -the con
necting ditches. Shortly after the
first waran rain, rainbow trout
also will be. on their way follow
ed later by the muskie.
It is illegal to fish or attempt
to fish with any bait or unibaited
snagger or snare, or any other
device capable of snagging or
snaring fish. No person may take
or attempt to land any fish by
means of a spring gaff, warns
Hank Green, local game warden.

Delay Permit
Third Time
Exeter lawyer C. Van Laugh
ton succeeded for the third time
Monday night in postponing the
granting of a building permit to
contractor Arthur Whilsmith who
wants to erect a $7,000 house
beside his home on Edward St.
This time the lawyer objected
to 'the Whilsmith application be
cause it did not include a com
plete set of plans and specifica
tions as required by the new
building by-law recently passed
by .town council. The contratcor
submitted a rough sketch' of his
proposed-basementless house but
did not include detailed draw
ings.
Although council has passed
other permits without complete
plans, it agreed that the by-law
called for them and refused the
permit on those grounds. How
ever, Jt did give a two-man com
mittee power to pass the permit
as soon as the plans were filed
with the clerk.
(Committee granted the permit
Wednesday after Whilsmith sub
mitted his plans to Clerk C. V.
Pickard.)
Began In January
The permit row, Which began
in January and resulted in a com
plete revision of the 'building by
law, was renewed Monday night
at the tail end of an extra long
session and discussion was pro
longed until one o’clock.
The lawyer told council again
that the structure proposed by
Whilsmith, a 24x46 basement
less frame hou'se, violated agree
ments' he made with the con
tractor when he purchased his
home. While these arrangements
did not involve council, he said
he needed plans, as required by
the (by-law to take the matter to
court.
He requested, And received,
permission to view the plans
when submitted iby Whlsmith
and to make copies of th em I in
the clerk’s office.
■Committee (appointed to in
spect the plans and grant the
permit if they‘were in order in
cluded Councillors Bill Musser
and Ralph Bailey.
Other permits were granted to
Councillor Musser, for a house
on Edward Street; Mayor Pooley
for the removal of a barn on Ed
ward Street; Fred Hatter, for
completion of a sun porch; R. E.
Balkwill, sun porch; and John
V. Webster, a garage.
