May Be No Centennial
Celebration In Huron ,
It now seems unlikely that a
Opuaty centennial celebration will
be field in Goderich on Wednesday,
June 20th as vrevosed, According
to the ,Signal -Star, the committee
met on Monday evening of last
week, bat nothing NOS done, save
the presentation of estimates of the
test of bhe proposed celebration,
running into several thousands of
dollars. t , y
Various members of the commit-
tee .said cold water was thrown on
the celebration idea when County
Council, in special session, • refused
to vote money: for refurnishing and
redecorating the Court, House, which
was pant of the program. ,This, they
•said, had taken the edge oft the
proposal and dampened the enthus.
lasm. Oppgnents argued •that the
money could be out to better, use in
furthering the war effort.

200,000 Pelts Will Likely Be
Taken in 1941 Spring Har-

Seven hundred Indian and non.
Indian trappers will harvest ap-
proximately 200,000 anuotkrat pelts
-this spring on the Suanmerberry
Game Preserve In The Pas region
Of Manitoba, reports the Depart_
meat of Mines and Resources. The
trapping season extends from
Aprj1 1 to Api'i.1 30, and ,the list
of eligible trappers has been pre
pared. A. quota of 275 muskrats
for each man has been set, which
at present prices will .provide each
trapper with a monthly income of
twenty-five ,dollars for the twelve
months following the trapping
'season,
'Many Trappers Are Indians
Last year the trappers took more
than 1.20,000 muskrats, the initial
crop Prom this preserve, and the
principle of spreading the income
aver •twelve months was inaugurated
-with the subsequent enthusiastic
approval of both the trappers and
tradesmen of the &strict. Another
forward'step wail be attempted this
year with 'the establishment of a
reserve, or crop assurance fund, to
which a modest proportion of the
gross returns will be allotted.
Notwithstanding last year's ca1ali
the muskrat populattion at the
Summerb'erry Preserve is now in
excess of 050,000 according to- the
annual census taken In November
