Fishing at Night
Definitely Banned
R. R. Bellinger, Game Over
seer for Huron County, yesterd
stated that fishing at night with
lights and spears definitely is 11
legal. The statement was ma
in reply to the contention of
local man that the public shoul
be allowed to take coarse els]
other than smelts, at night b
use of spears and lights.
' District Inspector E. R. Mead
ows, Hespeler, ruled as folows:
"Last year several convictions
were registered against men wh
fished at night with lights and
spears, and who illegally took
pike, 'black bass and pickerel
"It is unfortunate that men of
this type spoil the sport of oth-
ers, but under the circumstances
we have no alternative but
stop this practice completely. Th
only fishing that we will allow
at night will be where the smelt
are running on the shores of. the
Gsleat Lakes."

HEPC ASKED
TO RECONSIDER
OFFER OF $12
Following a meeting held in
Holrnesville School Tuesday even-
ing the matter of remuneration
for hydro poles in Godersch
Township is still not finally set-
tled, and the farmers involved
requested the Hydra Electric
Power' Commission of Ontario re-
consider its offer.
Colin Lawson,. secretary of the
group, received a letter from It.
H, Saunders, BEPC chairman, of-
fering $12 per pole on arable
land, against $5 per pole, pre-
viously offered; as well as $5
per pole nn Swale, rook and bush
land as compared with no pay-
ment at.ll previously.
The offer was discussed at
Tuesday's meeting, and etfter con-
siderable discussion, and a vote
by a large majority, it was de-
cided to seek reconsideratiorn,
Grounds for this policy were
that HEPC has been paying $5
per pole on single pole lines and
$13 per ple -on two lines. In the
Strafford 'arra, the figures de-
cided on were $13 and $37.50,
respectively, for the two types,
Contention of the Goderteh
Township farmers, therefore, is
that they are entitled on a single
polo line to five -thirteenths to
the two -pole line ($37.50), or
roughly $14 per pole in single
pole line. This compares with
the $12 figure offered by HEPC,
