S. ATKEY A. L. COLQUHOUN Editor Plant Manager THURSDAY, APRIL 29, 1948 PAVING SEEMS THE ONLY WAY he dust has been Swirling and ,twirling in great billows through the main business section of the T ,, , town again. "Isn't there some'th'ing that Isamebody could do about it?" is a common question. Mayor A. J. McMurray and Ald. 0. L. Paisley, Streets Chairman, seem to think it' is the responsibility of the Ontario Department of Highways to afford same relief. They may be right, and if they are, there could be no better time for us to get some relief, As far as we are concerned, we care very little who does something about nit as long as something is done by ssovnebody. • But the dust problem dls only part of a larger problem --that of paving. Lt is quite obvious that a good deal of paving needs to be dame right in this town. When could there be any better time to get it started than the present? It IS our understanding that the Department has certain plans inmind for paving King's Highway 4, through the -town, from the concrete pavement at the Tristersectien with the Base Line, north of town, to the southerly limit of the town itself. Such a strip would pretty well solve Clinton's chief road probleti'i. We don't wish to labor the point, but only to emphasize :the fact that there never will be a better year to do this job, and that the work can't start too soon to please everybody and his brother and sister. The paving of this highway for a long tune has been in the Depart- mental cards; now that the sewerage project in 'Clh ton is competed, let us have some action in this year of our Lord 1918' If :the mad is paved, the dust nuisance will Coln to an automatic stop. But if the Department is not pre- pared to go ahead with paving operations this year, let's ihave some duetlayer until it does—to keep us from choking! O 0 0 "THE FISH ARE BITIN'! LET'S GO" .!L T he fish are hitin' !" What sportsman ever heard a more welcome exclamation than that? And now along conies Saturday, May 1 and the of- ficial opening of the trout season. A year ago, the season was Tarte and the best trout streams, were still in flood at the opening. But this year, conditions should be ideal. The magic words, given above, are a tocsin that brings out the Huckleberry Finn in every 'boy, every man. Be he a barefoot lad with a fishing pole cut from a tree, or a rich man with the finest array of tackle money can buy, there is a lure to fishing that few members of the male sex can resist. You can't describe it as a sport nor as a hobby; it's just part of the boy or man himself. Fishery 'regulations apply not only to those who ,ateh fish, but also to the "big -one -that -got -away" class of fishermen who only try. Game and fishery officers have been making a drive against pre -season anglers, who fish with live or artificial bait, but when accosted, claim that suckers and mullets are the object of their attention. Regulations say that "angling shall mean taking or trying to 'take fish by means of hook and line baited with live bait, and shall include casting and trolling with, and the use of, artificial bait and lures." Most anglers are forced to confine their activities to nearby lakes or streams and content themselves with the fish they find therein. A few, more fortunate; travel great distances to seek their trophies in the internationally fanned fishing grounds (throughout the world. To fthher- men of both these classifications, Ontario appeals. Seldom cis found an area which provides the angler with such un- limited scope for so many species of freshwater fish as does this province with its bordering Great Lakes and eounntlelss inland lakes and rivers in which abound bass, trout, pickerel and muskies. Ontario possesses the leading speckled trout fishing waters in the world, the locale of more fishing stories than any other spot on the continent. Especially is this true in Lake Nipigon and the Nipigon River lying north of Lake Superior. Huron County may not be the Nipigon country, but there still are a few good streams left in this neck of the woods. And we know there are some dandies to the north of us in Bruce and Grey Counties.
