Salmon, not turkey for Christmas
On December 10, 38 Chinook salmon with a
total weight of approximately 200 kilograms
were turned over to the Salvation Army in
Wingham by the Ministry of Natural
Resoces. Captain Borden Linkletter of
Wingham was in charge of distribution of
fish. According to captain Linkletter "all
the fish would be put to good use by needy
families".
The fish had been seized during this past
fall by Wingham District conservation of-
ficers as,a result of illegal netting and snag-
ging activities along the Bayfield, Maitland
and Nine Mile rivers.
A total of 23 charges were laid. All but one
charge has been finalized and the violators
were fined a total of $4,000 in Goderich
court. All of the seized salmon and some of
the fishing equipment was ordered forfeited
to the Crown.
All forfeited items are then disposed of by

the ministry. In the case of edible fish or
game, they are turned over to charitable
organizations. Equipment e' her goes to a
public auction, is destroy :°o is utilized by
the ministry, depending on the type and con-
dition of the seizure.
The seized fish have gone the full cycle.
They did belong to the public when they
were in the river. They were taken illegally,
seized, ordered forfeited and finally return-
ed to the public through the Salvation Army.
In some cases it was the public who pro-
mpted the conservation officers to act by
reporting suspicious activities. The
ministry encourages the public to call at the
time of a suspected violation or suspicious
activity.
And for many needy families in the
Wingham and Listowel areas, Santa Claus is
in green and white for this Christmas of 1985.

The toys
of yesteryear
Children's Christmas toys differ vastly
from those of their ancestors. But there was
still a considerable amount of ingenuity and
fine wotksmanship put into them.
Wood, china, wax, papier mache and
gutta-percha were used in the manufactur-
ing of dolls heads, while their bodies were
stuffed so tightly as to be almost un-
breakable. At that time, soft, cuddly toys
were regarded as too easily destroyed.
A cavalcade off toys would tell a fairly ac-
curate story of the world's history.
Children had toys even before the first
Christmas. In A.D. 1100, there was a tiny
stuffed lion on wheels in Africa, and a
wooden crocodile, snapping its toothed
jointed jaws at an Egyptian baby, could be
compared to similar mechanical marvels of
today.
In the early. years, toy makers did not
have the equipment which is available to-
day, however, they produced wonderful ef-
fects with materials at their disposal. '
About the time of the French Revolution,
dolls were made hollow so that tiny spar-
rows could be inserted to give them move-
ment and emit a tiny, life -like chirp.
And of course, toys had to reflect the
times, so little French girls were given tiny
models of the guillotine so they could
decapitate their doll -aristocrats.
Lacking our mass production methods,
old time toys were stronger and inade with
greater attention to detail. But even the
wealthiest children have alays loyally lov-
ed their rag dolls best of all.
The students at Hullett Central School in Londesboro enjoyed a fitting end to school
before the Christmas break with a skating party at the Clinton Arena on December 20.
Here, Grade 6 students Lori Werkema and Shelley Merner unlaced their skates after the
afternoon session. (Alan Rivett photo)
