He was guest speaker in the interests of the Huron County Fish and. Game Club. Canada's revenuefrom tourist trade is second best to the revenue. or value of her field crops he said. In 1038 field .crops value was 124 million dollars, while from tourist trade it was just 2 million dollars less, These staggering figures were used to illustrate the money left in, the country from the sale of licenses for hunting and fishing by tourists. Annually the department of game{ and fisheries releases millions of! yearling trout to restock fishing streams. IYlillions of acres common- ly called reserves, are also in use for the preservation of wild fowl, and in Ontario an effort is being! made to increase by careful and super- vision hatching i o ha c fi g the number of ring-necked pheasants, To illustrate the amount of labor. involved in this work Mr. Macartney showed pictures of fish hatcheries,. the methods used in propogating. Eggs are stripped from the female trout and the fingerlings carefully fed and protected until they are a year old. The they are taken from the feeding pens and transported, in. specially constructed tank cars, for release in other waters. Even their release has to be done by degrees since sudden changes in temperature would cause great mortality. Another film showed hundreds of pheasants being reared for release in various parts of Canada. Others showed the beauty of the rugged northland with its abundance of wild life where hunting in this particular case was done with a camera. Brief glimpses of organized hunting and fishing, all under the supervision of the department was also shown. These pictures were forcible illustra- tions of the importance and necessity for organized clubs to step in and help the department in the work they are doing. The formation of the Clinton Club is another addition to a long string stretching across Canada. Working in co-operation with the department they can do much to preserve a na- tional heritage. Mr. Macartney said his department would be glad to give any assistance possible to the local organization. The speaker told his audience that while our main thought at the pres- ent time is to win the war, we must not ridged our natural resources. The conservation of wild life must be continued if we are to receive a revenue annually running into mil- lions of dollars. By education` the various clubs formed are helping his department and he asked for contin- ued co-operation. Mayor Waters who acted as chair- man spoke briefly before turning over the meeting to Mr. Maeartney, congratulating the club on their in- itiative and of the value of such groups to attracting totu•tsts. Har- veYMcGee of Auburn contributed to the programme at intervals, being ably accompanied by Mrs. Phiilrips. For the benefit of school children an afternoon performance was given, many of them being en hand again tosee the pictures and listen to the talk given in the evening. Recor The Now Era Est, 186?

Over at a couple of benches the candlers were jugglipg four eggs in each hand across the light, determining the grade of each one. At another bench a young lady was putting then( over the scales.

The weather was ideal. The church was filled t o ^ ca acttY at the morningservice where Rev. Eric Anderson of Lambeth, se former pastor of this charge, was' present and delivered a forceful and thoughtful sermon, Taking as his theme "A Wonderful Saviour"; he was listened to with deep interest as we followed Trim through his sermon of a Saviour's love for fallen human- ity. The male choir was assisted by former members and adherents of the original churches, Mr, Win. Lobb, Fred Lobb, Jas. Stirling, Mel. Glid- don, Mr. Irwin, Mr. Widdecombe, Murray Grainger, the last three front Bayfield; Oliver Edwards and Chas.. Whitely from Taylor's Corner. The music was meth enjoyed, thanks to those who helped so willingly. At the evening service the sante speak- er was present. This time taking as his Iesson•, "The Prodigal Son and the Lost Boy", from his text. These two. sermons will be long remembered., The offering at both services had to be generous enough to allow the burning of the old note for $60.00, that yet remained against our church, At this service the regular choir was assisted by Miss Jean Ivison and Miss Jean Long, both of Kippen, who. rendered two beautiful duets. Mrs. Long accompanied them. Mrs. Austin Harris, our regular organist, had: charge of the music. Thirteen years ago in this locality; there weretwo. churches, located a. few miles apart. A congregational: meeting was held where it was. agreed to build a new ehuech uniting the two congregations. This was very satisfactory, and five nien were chose en to look after the building of the new church. Some of these have passed on to higher service. The re- maining two, have stood by, bearing; the responsibility until Sunday,. when they were relieved of their burden. by the burning of the note. The last cent was paid, and we have a church• we are proud of. But in the midst of our joy, there was a sadness in. our hearts, as our pastor; Rev, R. M.. Gale was too ill to be with, us. He, had looked forward all those thirteen years to the day when the debt would' be wiped out. Our sympathy is with, both him and Mrs. Gale in their try- ing time, and in the second sad af- fliction, the drowning of their grand- son early last week. We must not forget the flowers which were beauti- ful." A large basket of tulips . and one of snapdragons was sent by Mise Guninghaine of Clinton.
