Al­ ready the Ontario Department of Lands and Forests is being deluged with inquiries about this spring phen­ omenon, when and where to find ’em, whether they’re good to eat—they are— and how to cook them'. Suckers aver­ age one to two pounds and occasion­ ally may be more than 18 inches long. They have a sucker-like mouth over­ hung by the snout and directed down­ ward. They’re found in almost all Ontario lakes and rivers from the Great Lakes to Hudson Bay. In the spring the suckers move from the lakes into the streams to spawn; ones female may simply re­ lease- anywhere up to 50,000 eggs over stony or gravelly shoals. Square or circular dip nets usually are used to catch them during the spawning run. On some shallow creeks the fish may actually be picked up by hand. At this time the flesh is excellent but bony; later many claim it’s “muddy” for eating. Suckers are classed and so there are no number which may be taken. They may be salted down or otherwise pre­ served. The bones may be softened by boiling or cooking under pressure; more frequently the fish are filleted. For some years the Department has been trying to find a wide commercial use for suckers, which are somewhat repulsive in appearance. Dr. F. J. Fry, head of the experimental station at South Bay on Manitoulin Island, has filleted and fast-frozen them so suc­ cessfully that many have mistaken DOCTOR INJURED IN HURON CRASH Dr. James McCabe received chest injuries when his car crashed into a McKillop Telephone Company truck, which was parked but unoccupied at the gateway of Gordon Elliott's farm, just north of Seaforth. The McCabe car, a late model was damaged to the extent of $1,000. Pro­ vincial Constable H, Christiansen, of Seaforth detachment investigated. Two cars were badly damaged in a collision at the mondville river was injured. One car was ward Brunk, of Mitchell, other by Murray Doig, of Petrolia, Provincial Constable H.‘Snell, of Sea­ forth, investigated. south end of the Eg- bridge. Neither driver driven by James Ed- and the too soft as coarse limits on and fish the the fillets for anything from speck­ led trout to codfish. Many claim that the sucker is a predator which feeds on the eggs of other fish, Principal food, however, includes aquatic insects, snails and other molluscs, worms and aquatic plant material. Not infrequently, some fishermen on speckled trout streams may be given a real tussle by a sucker which has hit at a dry or wet fly. The sucker also is said to provide food for some of Ontario’s more highly prized game fish. Maskinonge, pike and pickerel eat suckers, and expert muskie fishermen claim that a large, live sucker "still fished” will attract a muskie a mile away. The white sucker and the longnose are the two main types found in Ont­ ario waters. The longnose is more frequently caught in the commercial nets in the Great Lakes. It is some­ times known as the northern sucker, the fine-scaled, sturgeon-nosed or red­ sided sucker. Rangers and conservation officers in the far northern areas smoke suckers over a hardwood fire for 12 to 48 hours. Indian trappers dry them for use as dog food or dice them into small portions for bait in the stur­ geon fishery of the Albany River.

But Tooth Decay Here, Too While other communities are arguing the merits and demerits of adding fluorine to their water as a tooth decay preventative. Wingham is in the position of having the ques­ tion already answered. According to a report by Dr. G. E. Berry, director of the sanitary engineering division of the Ontario department of health, the drinking water in Wingham not only tests Grade A, but contains an amount of fluorine which is “almost ideal.” In other words Wingham water By Bob Carbert by CORRECTING those FOOT TROUBLES SEE MR.

NATIONAL Railways Spring Is Here One of the first sure signs of spring is that of a small boy with a fishing pole, heading for the banks of the nearest creek or river. We have al­ ready seen that sign, and are hearing the regular fish stories that will be the topic for many months to follow. I imagine everyone ’ gets a touch of spring fever these days, the warm spring sun makes you drowsy, and the sound of the birds and the frogs bring back pleasant memories of the days when other boys headed for the creek in the spring with a pole and a line. Grandma used to administer a lib­ eral dosage of sulphur and molasses as a cure for spring fever, but the fresh air and the sunshine, the flow­ ers and the green grass are sufficient to make me forget all about the snow shovel, the overshoes, storm windows and the fuel bills. There are some folks who like summer, some who like winter best, but there is always some­ thing for the home owner to do 12 months of the year. In the winter you have snow to shovel, ice to keep clear of the eaves, fuel to handle, ashes to sift and a hundred and one other things to do. On the farm, there are cattle to feed and care for, stock of all kinds to cater to in the winter quarters. There is wood to cut, feed to haul and repairs to be made. Always something to keep you busy. In the summer months the home owner has grass to mow, gardens to plant and weed, flower beds to keep clean and attractive, windows to wash and painting to be done. On the farm, you have fences to fix, seed to plant, weeds to control, crops to harvest for the next winter feeding season, and buildings to paint, and repair. There are orchards to care for, chicks to feed and watch over, potatoes to plant, and potato bugs to control. It’s a busy old life every season of the year. Neither season brings much of what might be called a holiday from work. But actually would we be happy if we had nothing to do? Would we be satisfied? They say that idle hands create mischief, and I suppose that is so. A retired farmer who has been used to steady work, is completely lost when he moves to town and finds he has time on his hands. That is one of the disadvantages of retirement in this fast moving age. We need some­ thing to keep our minds active and our hands busy, for without this we would be barnacles on the ship of life. The changing seasons bring their problems, likewise they bring their beautiful season, but I don’t think we •like even spring to stay all year around. The small boy with the fish­ ing pole is a sign of spring. He is just as happy,when he has his first sleigh ride or his first skate, when he plays his first game of ball or hockey. A change is as good as a rest—better than sulphur and molasses. has the same amount of fluorine as is being added, by other municipalities such as ^rantford. Lately a great deal of contraversy has arisen over the projected use of fluorine in the water supply of large cities such as Toronto. Many people have opposed jt on various grounds and others have been in favor of the assumption that it helps prevent tooth decay. All are waiting results of an experiment in the city of Brantford, where fluorine has been added to the water for the past several years. The net effect of natural fluorine in Wingham water is problematical, according to Dr, A. W. Irwin, local dentist, “It is impossible to determine to what extent it has helped prevent tooth decay without detailed statis­ tics,” Dr. Irwin said. “These statistics simply aren’t available.” Dr, Irwin refuses to say whether in his opinion there is less tooth decay in Wingham than in other centres and one can hardly blame him. A dentist in Ripley proclaimed his discovery of the fact that Ripley water contained natural fluorine, and for his pains had a newspaper story written about Ripley, the fluorine and himself in a Toronto daily newspaper, which caus­ ed considerable embarrasment for all concerned. One thing is certain. There is still a need for dentists in Wingham, in spite of the fact that the water has, and always had fluorine in it. *¥ * * ¥ ★ PHONE 65 TO GO BETTER BETTER GO DOUG’S TAXI Phone 65** ★ * * FOR FIRE, LIFE & AUTOMOBILE INSURANCE Call Stewart A.

Holme* Listowel I Ask Deer Season in Bruce, Huron, Grey County Council representatives from Bruce, Huron and Grey, at a meeting in Walkerton last week, unanimously moved that a three-day open season on deer be held in the three counties after November 15. The motion is subject to the ap­ proval of the three county council in­ volved. The meeting in Walkerton was the result of a recommendation by the wildlife board of the Saugeen Valley Conservation Authority urging the three counties to study possibility of an open deer season. The SVCA also urged the counties to act in unison by petitioning the Ont­ ario Department of Lands and Forests to declare an open season or bring the matter before the three county coun­ cils. The resolution approved also asked that dogs be barred from running deer and specified that “after Novem­ ber 15” clause for the protection of livestock that might stiil be in the fields. It urged the information be imprinted on general deer licenses for 1955. Warden William Winter, of Walk­ erton, was in charge of the meeting and Kenneth Juck and Harris Mink, Conservation officers from the De­ partment of Lands and Forest*, were present to answer questions.
