Simple .Solution
Periodically there is a public outcry against the lurid
Teorme books, confession magazines and paper-backed no-
vels with revealinecovers, that come from our neighbour
to the south. We notice. however, that seldom is any-
thing done about it. These publications continue to grace
the news stands in spite of the invective heaped upon them
by women's organizations and members of the clergy.
Burning and banning of books can become a danger-
ous pastime. In the past it has led to horrible conse-
quences, as the world should well know, On the other
band it is difficult to imagine of what possible benefit such
books could be to the community at large-.
We have a solution which is so simple there must be
-a catch in it. Slap a tariff of 100 5 on all such books
entering the country, and let those who want them badly
enough pay dearly for the privilege. Not only would this
country cut down on the reading of such trash, but it
would benefit monetarily from the transaction.
There is one rider to our suggestion, however. If
literature of this type is to be taxed, let's see that the
revenue is used for some worthy cause. And what more
worthy cause could be found than the cause of Canadian
national culture.
This country has a small but growing group of
authors, who are trying to do a job of writing in Canada.
It isn't very easy for some of them. Canadian markets
for writing- are small; American markets offer more re-
muneration and more glory, Quite a few of our talented
people have left for the greener fields.
If the revenue from taxed comic books were used to
subsidize Canadian culture, the country would benefit
both ways.
Most Secret
One of the latest pronouncements of the Department
of Education is that the time-honored practice of publish-
ing school children's reports is not a good idea. And the
Department has suggested that no reports be published
in future.
We have, no information as to how the evils of pub-
lished school reports were discovered so suddenly. The
pTactice has been going on for as long as we can remember
:without, as far as we know, any particular outcry from
pupils, parents or teachers. Possibly there has been a
smoldering resentment against the thing all these years, of
which we have been unaware. But to the untutored eye
it sometimes seems that the Authorities work on the prin-
ciple that the less parents know about education, the
better. Maybe they're right.
The idea nowadays seems to be to eliminate all trace
of competition in the child's education. We daren't say
that Johnny Jones is smarter, or applies himself more, or
earns higher grades. It might offend Johnny Smith, who
isn't as bright, or doesn't apply himself as successfully.
While sympathizing with the Johnny Smiths of this
world, we doubt if all this secrecy is of much value. If the
publishing of competitive figures offends those at the
lower end of the class, you might say with equal justice
that not publishing- the figures will offend those at the top
of the class.
n its present state the world is a pretty competitive
-place. And it would seem to us that the sooner children get
,used to the idea, the better,

Poisoned Lake Popular,
An interesting experiment in conversation has been
going on in Lake Whittaker these past three years. And
the results are calculated to make any fisherman sit Up
and take notice.
Three years ago the lake was a dead loss from the
fishing standpoint. It was full of crappies, sunfish, with
only an occasional bass or pike to quicken the pulse of the
angler. Then the Crumlin Sportsmen's Association took
over.
First they had the lake analysed for oxygen, depth,
-temperature, food and plant life. Then they raised $1,000
to buy poison and spent many hours of labour poisoning
the lake. Literally tons of crappies and sun fish were des-
troyed by the poisoning. Finally last year the depart-
ment planted 7,000 trout in the lake from their Norman-
dale fish hatchery.
When the trout season opened on May lst this year,
the fondest hopes of the workers were realized. An esti-
mated 1,200 trout were caught in the first three days of
the season, measuring from eight to fourteen inches, an
increase of up to eight inches over their original size when
-planted.
Lake Whittaker is an example of what can be done by
the determined efforts of a conservation club. In fact
under the present set up, money and labor provided by
sportsmen's clubs and industry are the only means of con-
ducting such projects, The public spirit of the Crumlin
Sportsmen's club in spending money and labor to develop
fishing, and now share, that fishing with the rest of the
public. is to be commended.
The experiment . in Lake Whittaker might prove to be
,an inspiration .for other conservation clubs in the province.
`We sincerely hope so.
