ANNOUNCE SPRING’S APPROACH
One of the first Signe of approach
ing spring is the arrival of the horned
larks and the crows. Both these spec
ies of birds were seen last week, the
crow giving notice of his return on
the scene by his familiar cawing,
while the plaintive notes of the horn
ed larks could be heard along the
highways and in the fields as they
searched for food in the way of weed
seeds. Although the crow is looked
upon as a black piarauder by the far
mer, the notes pf his caWjng on the
ether at this time of year is as music
to the ears. Up to the present no rob
ins, the real harbingers of spring, are
are reported having been seen.

The new measurement brings On
tario regulations into line with those
elsewhere in North America, officials
said recently as they announced
changes in open season and catch
limit for all game fish within the
province. /
Increase One Inch
The two main changes in the mini
mum length were: Black bass, 11
inches, formerly 10; pickerel, 14 inch
es in Lake Erie and 15 inches else
where, formerly 13.
The possession limit for all fish
was set at one day’s catch, previous
ly it was two.
The family fishing license for non
residents was abolished, “Now each
member of a fishing party from out
side the province must buy a license
at $6.50 each unless he lives in Mani
toba-then he can buy it for $3.25.
However, children up to' 17 from out
side the province can fish under
license of one of their parents. On

districts, Sept. 24 to Oct. 21; Kenora
and Rainy River districts, Oct. 24 to
Nov. 16; Lake Nipissing, Oct. 14 to

Another new close season is for

A later start was announced for
the pickerel season in northern On

River,, with the opening May 22 in
stead of May 15.
In Lake Conseqon, at the west end
of Prince Edward County, a 22-inch

Prayer Was Theme
“Prayer*’ was the theme of the
speaker, Mrs. H. L. Parker, who said
that prayer in our individual lives is
not only petition and intercession.'
We shoul seek first to know God’s
will and purpose for us, then give
praise and glory to his holy name,
Our petitions should not be for our
selves alone. Love thy neighbour as
thyself and ask that spiritual benefits
be conferred on everyone. Persistent
prayer with faith is always answered
in God’s good time. We do not al
ways realize that our prayers may
vitally touch the lives of others in
an ever widening circle, and provide
the needed impetus for the work of
the church in all lands.
