ART WATERS, ,OHABRION
OF LIONS CLUB, GOLFERS
Lion Art Waters forgot all about
overdrafts for a day on Wednesday
of last week and put his attention
on avoiding overdrives to win the
Lions Club's annual golf tourna-
ment with a low gross of 48. As
evidence that the win was no
fluke, his record revealed that he
also won the Canadian Legion
tournament the previous week -end.
About 25” Lions took part in the
tournament. Lion Howard Heath
placed second in the competition
with a score ;of 52. Lion Eddie
Jessop was the capable member
in charge of arrangements for the
day. Other winners were: Hidden
hole, Malcolm M.athers; door prize,
Mery Stephens; most honest golf-
er, Don Aberhart.

public of the grave -danger of
touching the fence.
In the desperate:light to save the
lake trout, desperate methods have
/•been necessary. Theereaeally, the
electrical barrier'Should turn back
all valuable fish before they re-
ceived enoughof a shock to kill
them. Most fish are tufted back,
but unfortunately some are killed.
This defect in the method is gradu-
ally being corrected. However, if
the lake trout are to be saved
there is not enough time to per-
fect the method before applying it.
People. who see dead fish in the
stream below these electrical bar-
riers are often, pertighed and right-
ly so. The destruction of useful
fish definitely calls for an explan-
ation. The public is therefore ad-
vised that the scientists respons-
ible analyse the situation as fol-
lows:
I. Reports of the number of
game fish killed by .the barriers are
'greatly exaggerated—most of the
fish killed. are suckers which are
,n0t only 'of little value, but are
also. suspected of being the primary meads by Which lamprey reach
the areas where tile' lake trout can
be attacked.
2. The choice is either a. few
game fish -killed now or complete
destruction of lake trout within a.
'few years.
3. There is every probability
that the lamprey, if rallowed to in-
crease unchecked, would within a
few Years be causing many times
the casualties .among stream -dwell-
ing game ifish that the electrical
barriers now cause.
4. The totail number of game,
fish that are likely to be killed by
the barriers is an insignificant part
of the number of those species in
the Lake.Superior watershed.
5. The species to which damage
would be deplored most, namely
rainbow trout, is not native to this
area. lit is here onrlymbeeauSe 'ef
man's intervention. Inc the highly
unlikely event that lamprey con-
trol were to appreciably decrease
the stock of rainbow trout they
could, therefore, obviouslybe
quickly restored. .. Incidentally,
rainbow trout headed upstream, to-
wards their spawning grounds are
trapped below the danger area and
released above it.
6. On these grounds the- de-
struction of useful fish at lamprey
barriers, although ,admittedly de-
plorable, is considered justified.

If you go about -it properly this fall, as soon as the snow goes next
spring your property will burst into the grandest, most colorful
bloom you could imagine. Barbara and Sidney Karsh of Ottawa are
making sure of spring floral beauty by 'following some basic •rules.
They selected the best Dutch bulbs (firm, smooth, large), set them
out on the ground in the pattern they want the flowers to appear in,
then planted each bulb five to six inches deep. Soil is well drained
but not fast -drying, and located in full sunlight. When the bulbs are
all in the ground, they are labelled for varieties, and, if the ground is
dry, thoroughly watered. Growing flowers from bulbs is one of the
simplest, most rewarding of all horticultural pursuits.

Latest Scientific Methods Are Used
In Attempt To Control Sea Lamprey
A grim struggle against the de-
predations of the murderous sea
' lamprey is *being' carried out by
scientists of the , Ontario Depart-
ment of Lands and FOrests, the fed-
eral government and governments
of the United States and various
,individual states.
Latest scientific methods, includ-
ing manual ,and electric fences or
weirs, supersonic death rays and
other methods have been called
into play in streams flowing into
Lake Superior, where only recently
the lamprey appeared and threat-
ened commercial lake trout fishing.
"It looks as if Lake Superior has
been subject to the heaviest attack
of the lamprey, heavier than in
Lake Huron," said Dr. W. J. K.
Harkness, Chief of the Division of
Fish and Wildlife of the Ontario
Department of Larids and Forests.
Most worrisome possibility en-
countered by the scientists is that
the lamprey may spawn onegravel
shoals out in the lake, where form-
erly it was believed that the pre-
dato -s spawned only in streams.
e sea lamprey, a marine hitch-
hilfer, is native to salt water. For
years it was held back from the
Great Lakes by the barrier of
Niagara Falls. With the opening
of the Welland Canal, however, it
is believed the fish attached itself
to the bottom of vessels and moved
into the lakes. A few years ago it
Made its appearance in Lake
Superior—where the main fishing
industry centres on lake trout.
But the lamprey also attacks and
kills- whitefish, suckers and siscoes.
The adult sea lamprey feeds on
the blood and flesh of fish, attach-
ing itself to the fish's body with
a suction -cup mouth and rasping
a hole 'through the body covering.
Although they seem to attack
any. fish that is large enough, 're-
gardless of species, lake trout seem
to . be more effected than other
species. In Lake Michigan and in
most of Lake Huron, (the exception
is a part of Georgian Bay to which
the lamprey area just now pene-
trating), lake trout have become
practically extinct and there is
every indicatidn that the sea lam-
prey is wholly responsible. This
is probably because sea lamprey
prefer lake trout 'to other species.
Rather it is probably the result of
the lake trout's 'Preference for
rocky shoals, which are likely also
the favorite place where lamprey
lurk when waiting for their prey,
according to District Forester A. J.
Herridge of Sault Ste, Marie.
Sea lantrey spawn in streams
during the spring. • Males and fe-
males pair off and "build a "nest"
from the gravel of Yhe stream bed
in which they spawn. The young
hateliin about two weeks, are car-
ried downStream, and finally settle
to the 'bottom in backwaters where
they burrow into the silt. Young
lampreys do not look nor aot like
adults, and they are called am-
niOecetes. They can move around
but generally they stay. partly
buried, and feed on a variety of
• stuff brought to them by the cur-
rent. After four or five years of
this life, during which they gradu-
ally grow to about five inches long,
-they change into- adult lampreys
and begih preying on fish. After
a year or a year and a !half on a
fish blood diet, which greatly ac-
celerates their growth, they spawn
in a stream, then die.
"The -sea lamprey has' not yet
caused sudrobvious inroads in the
trout stock of Lake Superior as it
has in Lakes Huron and Michigan,"
says 'Mr". Ilerridge. "However,
there is every reason to believe
that, unless the lamprey on be
greatly reduced in number 'soon,
the trout of Lake Superior will
become only a memory by about
1960."
Through joint arrangements be-
tween the Province of Ontario and
the Dominion .of Canada, Canadian
scientists are co-operating with
scientists from the United States
in an attempt to 'control sea lam-;
prey in Lake Superior. The pro-
cedureds to prevent lampreys from
spawning by keeping them from
ascending all spawning streams.
All concerned realize that this may
nct work and that it is actually a
dollar gamble. • But it is
a web/while gamble—the value of
the fish to be saved is many trines
the cost of the proposed efforts
• to save them. •
Various types of b'arriers to lam-
preys are being used in this at -i
