Two interesting and enjoyable
books on Lhe shelves of the Wing-
ham Public Library are reviewed
this week.
PEOPLE NAMED SMITH by H.
Allen Smith.
Smith on Smiths is at his rowdiest
since Low Man on a Totem Pole
as he tracks down people named
Smith all over the world from
Smiths renowned for art and states-
manship to Smiths noted for high-
way robbery and other nefarious
crimes.
"Our lead," says THE SMITH, "is
so commanding our procreative in-
stincts so sharply .leveloped that it
is unlikely that any of the other
family groups will ever catch up
with us."
There is nothing a Smith can't
do and won't do, and H. Allen ex-
plores the infinite number of fields
in which the Smiths have distin-
guished themselves-crime, law, the
Army, the stage, Literature, of
course, abounds with great Smith
names-Adam, the Reverend Sydney,
Logan, Pearsall, Thorne, Betty, Lady
Eleanor, to tick off a few.
People named Smith is not only
packed with roars, belly laughs, and
chuckles, but there is also strong
trace of Smith, the philosophical
humorist, which has been so evident
in his recent hooks. People named
Smith is the definite hook on
Smiths.
conditions the trout population suf-
fers. In these lakes the control of the
perch population by netting is neces-
sary and in many instances is an
important tool in fish management.
Many other species, such as rock
bass, calico bass or crappie, bluegill,
carp and whitefish often occur in ex-
cessive numbers to the detriment of
more desirable species. Clearly, net-
ting operations for their removal
cannot be employed in all cases. Much
greater emphasis must be placed en
the importance of angling for these
Species, and with this object in mind,
the Department of Lands and Forests
is doing everything possible to en-
courage this method of utilizing these
important species as food.
Throughout the United States, where
a great deal of work has been going
forward on farm pond culture of fish,
it has been found that the success of
fish production under certain condi-
tions depends upon the establishment
and maintenance of the proper bal-
ance of game fish, such as bass, and
fish of lesser desirability such as
bluegills, sunfish, crappie and other
species.
The bass population should be large
enough to control the population of
the smaller, less desirable species, so
that the latter never reach excessive
proportions. This results in good
growth of the bass and the other
species, If the bass are too abundant
they will wipe out the forage species
and will become stunted. If the bass
are too few the other species will in-
crease excessively causing the stunt-
ing of all species present.
The work which has been going on
in Ontario in this direction has been
largely limited to control activity
rather than attempt at complete eli-
mination of an undesirable species. In
the Kawartha Lakes, Scugog and
Sturgeon, trap nets are operated each
year during the spawning period of ,
the maskinonge, blocking off the
maskinonge spawning beds. The mas-
kinonge are captured in the traps
and released above them, The carp
which are captured are removed. The
purpose is to give the spawning areas
of the maskinonge some protection
against excessive numbers of carp.
In the Rideau_ Lakes, the coarse
fish removal program involves the
netting of burbot or ling, a relatively
voracious predator, which is not used
by sportsmen or commercial fisher- —
men in Ontario,
Controls of other non-game species VI
include commercial fishing for white-
fish, carp, stickers and certain other
species in the inland lakes of the!
Province, which are, by and large, 1 P.
considered as having their greatest 411
value as game fish producers. The
harvesting of this crop of non-game
species has two purposes:
(1) To apply to the total population • III
of the lake, both game and commer-
cial species, a rather uniform fishing
pressure so that there is not a selec- E
tive fishing by anglers only, but that
the game fish removed by angling are I
balanced by the non-game species re-
moved by the commercial gear,
(2) To utilize these non-game spec-
ies, particularly the whitefish, which
have a high food value.

The game situation in Ontario is
good according to Lands and Forests
Minister, Harold R Scott. The water
fowl and partridge are providing eX-
Cellent sport and many hunters are
coming home with good bags. The
pheasant season, October, 26, 26, 27
and 31, gives promise of much hun-
ter success.
This year's natural hatch was very
successful and has been supple-
mented by the production from
Provincial pheasant farms, which
has increased many fold, to nearly
50,000 chicks and 30,000 six weeks
North St. old polts this year,
The procedure with respect to
pheasants is gradually changing,
with greater emphasis on produc-
tion of day old chicks which are
assigned to farmer sportsmen
groups to rear, The increased inter-
est thus engendered among sports-
men hunters through handling, rear-
ing and releasing the pheasants
brings them closer co-operation
with the field officers and the De-
partment and gives them a much

clearer understanding of pheasant
management and production.
Field investigators have shown
that the amount of snow fall is the
limiting factor in pheasant produc-
tion, so that release of farm reared
birds is largely confined to southern
Ontario,
With further work being carried
out by the Research Division on the
possibilities of producing adequate
food and cover for pheasants, it may
be possible to extend the range very
considerable distances northward
beyond the present limits.
There has been a tremendous in-
crease in the fur-bearers particularly
the beaver, as a result of trap line
management,

have been transplanted in the far
north from James Bay to the Mani-

scarce or there are no beaver.
Similiar work is now being carried
on with marten and fisher, with
Chapleau Crown Game Preserve be-
ing utilized as the supply reservoir
and other Crown Game Preserves,
such as Lake of the Woods, Nipigon,
Onaman and Sibley Provincial Park
as the release areas.
Theree are many lakes in Ontario
which could support much larger pop-
ulations of speckled trout, but owing
to the introduction of perch by
natural and by other means, the perch
have increased excessively, competing
with the trout for food and also prey-
ing upon them directly. Under these
GLENCANNON MEETS TUGBOAT
ANNIE by Guy Gilpatrie and Nor-
man Reilly Raine.
Chief Engineer Olin Gleneannon
of the S.S. Ineheliffe Castle had a
terrible predicament, As his ship
approached the lively ports of Pug-
et Sound, he found himself with
an indescribable longing for whis-
key nd without a dime in his poc-
kets. Ashore meanwhile, the vast
bulk of Tugboat Annie was in rela-
tive repose, she was idling away the
time heaving invective and more
substantial missiles at her water-
front pals,
Then the main shaft of the Inch-
cliffe Castle snapped in two. When
news of the disaster reached port,
Tugboat Annie felt obliged to be the
first to relieve the ailing vessel and
thereby turn a fast dollar. To her
arch rival, Captain Horatio Bull-
winkle, it was a heaven-sent oppor-
tunity to outwit "the big bagful o'
bones and suet" and turn a very
must faster dollar. To thirsty Mr.
Glencannon, nothing mattered more
than the fact that he was broke.
Of course, no event which crossed
the destinies of Tugboat Annie and
Mr. Gleneannon can be called dis-
astrous. It resulted in Annie finding
a dauntless and bibulous ally in her
private war with Bullwinkle, and
it brought Mr. Gleneannon many an
unhopedfor round of drinks, in the
process of which it somehow became
necessary to purloin the Inchcliffe
Castle, The theft of an entire freigh-
ter is no small operation, and in this
case it involved a large cast of
wholesome and unwholesome char-
acters, the Coast Guard, an improb-
able salvage crew, 2 masked wrest-
ler, and a deceptive Japanese mine
guaranteed not to go off.
The millions of readers who have
laughed through tho separate ad-
ventures of Annie and Mr. Glen-
cannon in The Saturday Evening
Post will give a roaring welcome to
this new collaboration which has
produced a comedy of the highest
proof. It's a sure bet tto take your
mind off everything except the
most unpredictably funny hi-jinks
in recent maritime history.
