TONER, Federation of Ontario Anglers (NO. 22) CONSERVE OUR TROUT The speckled trout in our w ers vary somewhat but not as uch as do the lake trout that I iscussed -in these columns ]aft week. Here, again, water, food and other conditions of the environment and of the fish's ex- istence cause much variation. In northern waters with plenty of food large speckled trout are taken; the world's record brook trout coming from the Nipigon river where one was taken a few years ago that weighed over 14 pounds. This was a tremendous sized fish and there are said to occur along the north shore of Lake Superior trout that ap- proach the record. FINEST OF SPORT In northern Ontario and Que- bec is found a variety of brook trout known as the red trout. Formerly it was considered a dif- ferent species but recent work suggests that it is only a colour variety of the common speckled trout. It is very .abundant in the Latuentide Provincial Park of Quebec. At the University of Iffontreal they are making a de- tailed study of the qualities of this fish. This work is under the direction of Dr. V. D. Vlaykov. • Finally, in many lakes of the north, appearing as far south as the lakes of the Gatineau. Hills, we find Aurora trout. These trout are a land locked variety of the Arctic chary, a fish that 3ives in the seas and in the rivers and lakes of the Barren lands. It is a close relative of the speckled trout but differs in colour and other features. Trout fishing is the finest of sport. They are usually taken on an artificial fly which requires considerable skill to cast proper- ly. Trout fishermen spend much money in pursuit of the sport and trout stream country never Lacks for tourists. I think it would pay us to do everything in our power to keep these beauti_ ful fish in our waters. Not just because we may like fishing but to bring the country every cent of exchange that it is possible to get. We need it now more than ever.

(NO. 3) No war can be fought without ` unity. And Canada is no exception. Canada's part in the war can only be gauged according to its full effort. And the only really - ef- fective effort is a united one. Where then .does Canada stand? In spirit it is united behind the war. But is the unity in every aspect so necessary for the full prosecution of the war against Hitlerism? • Up to a point, yes. But there are many cases of overlapping that is costing this Dominion a great deal. And it is for reas- ons of unity and the fullest pos- sible prosecution of the war that the Rowell-Sirois Reeport should be implemented. An acceptance of Plan I. which was discussed in this paper last week will enable Canada to better co-ordinate its resources for war. IN PEACE AND IN WAR Acceptance of the Report's recommendation would cut down Ordinary government spending as low as possible. That is what is needed in this time of stress when every dollar counts. An acceptance of Flan 1 would mean that the machinery of gov- ernment would function not only more cheaply hut more smoothly. Necessary as that, is in peace time, it is even more than neces- sary, it is essential, in war time. SPREADING THE LOAD The whole Report of the Row- ell-Sirois Commission is essential- Iy a peace pian. But drawn as it was for times of peace to unite the people and spread even the burdens of taxation, it is even more necessary that 'this he put into effect now. There are those who say, wait until after the war, After the war? First of all the war must be won, and it will be by uniting and effectively utilizing its full pow- er that Canada can play its part. The Rowell-Sirois Report will, if accepted, bring about a united country in war and also in peace. Then when. the great burdens of the after -war fall; 'pix - Canada there will be an up44date con- stitution to help Ontario and the Dominion as a whole ;carry the load, 'Fad' Foods Injure Skin, Doctor Says Yellow patches often appear on the palms of the hand and the soles of the feet of persons who follow "fad" diets over -rich in carrots or orange juice; Dr. Wil- liam S. Becker 'of the University of Chicage said last Week. • He said certel aoiplancl throat sprays and eye wasli 'contained • silver compounds, which might color'the face and arms a bluish gray. Gold compounds, he cited, have been used in treatments for arthritis, tuberculosis and other diseases, and mercury,.coxnponnds frequently have been found in certain brands of facial creams. "Both of these metals, when ab- sorbed by the body, may enter in- to the pigment of the skin and cause discoloration," be added. Munitions Minister Safe All passengers, approximately 60, aboard the torpedoed British. liner Western Prince were re- ported rescued last week. Hon, C. D. Howe, Canadian minister of munitions, and his three aides, B. P.P. Taylor, Toronto; Col. W. C. Woodward, Hon, G. 'Scott, Mon- treal, aboard the ship, were said to be safe and sound. ` THE W A R W EE K—Commentary on Current Events AXIS PLANS FRUSTRATED IN- THE MEDITERRANEAN The tide turned in the Battle of Egypt last week when a sniasbiug British offensive dislodged Mar- shal Graziani's Italians front, their entrenched positions in the legyp- tian desert, swept them bank into Libya and into the sea, Decisive Events The significance of the issues In- volved could readily be deduced from the text of General Sir Archi- bald 'Waveil's order of the day, Is- sued on the eve of the oifensive: "The result of fighting in the west- ern desert will be one of decisive events. A signal and crushing de- feat of the Italian forces will have an incalculable effect not only on the whole position in the Middle East, not only on the military sit- uation everywhere, but on the fu- ture of freedom and civilization throughout the world. It may short- en the war by months...." Axis Defeats . In the first place, the British success assured the discontinu- ance of the Axis drive on Suez (already blocked in other quarters by Greek, Yugoslav, Bulgarian, Turkish resistance). British pres- tige in. the Mediterranean, eerious- ly low amonth ago, improved markedly, .accompanied by a stiff- ening of the backs of anti -Axis leaders in the French colonial Em- pire, Contrariwise, Fascist prestige, following the crippling of the Ital- ian navy at Taranto, the fiasco in Greece and Albania, the defeat in Egypt, had dropped to near zero. Mussolini was on the hottest spot since the invasion, of Ethiopia in 1935, faced the poersible early loss of his African empire, plus his is- lands in the eastern ]tlediterraaz- ean, plus his grip on the Adriatic. The Duce's hold on the Italian people at home had been loosen- ing ever since his entry into the war; last week it looked as if he would have to cope 'with serious internal unrest and increasing Ger- man intervention. in. Italian\clomes- tic affairs. He might even have to submit to Germany's taking over control of his armies. Spain's rap- prochement with the United States .and Britain, Turkey's newly -signed trade agreement with. Britain, Mar- shal Petain's refusal to place all of France a.nd her fleet at the dispos- al of Hitler, constituted three major diplomatic defeats for the Axis. From a month ago, the picture in the war'e southern theatre bad completely changed. Britain had all, but won the Battle of the Medi- terranean. Battle of Britain First Nevertheless, everyone with a first-hand knowledge of events in- sisted last week that the outcome of the. Battle of the Mediterranean depended upon the outcome of the Battle of Britain — that a decision in the . east would have to await a decision in the. west. it was ex- pected in most informed quarters that Hitler. would make his grand assault on Britain in the spring. Hence the British offensive in the Mediterranean was interpreted az; an attempt toy knock out. Italy Lc - fore that time; so- that b:day ed naval and air forces c. rad be released from the southern thee Ire for use in checking Hitler's invas- ion effort' 'and in meeting sub. marine and bombing menaces. "Germany Already Loser" But in the opinion of Eduard Belies, former president of Czecho- slovakia, Germany had already lost the war. The war had entered its second half, he said, and from now on the Axis would continually descend. The reasons he gave weree "Only two countries in the world can be master of the seas —Great Britain and the United States"; ' The aviation potential in the hands of Great Britain and the United States is so big it can- not be equalized b; Germany." Herr Banes listed further reasons for hih confidence: the enormous blun- der" of Italy in provoking war against Greece—from now on to the end, "Italy will be only a lia- bility"; the increasing difficulties of Germany in all occupied coun- tries where Germans are facing an impossible taslr, coupled with "the increasing difficulties of Germany from an economic, financial and moral Point of view and as a con- sequence of the blockade," The Only Outcome Hitler himself in a speech last week to the workers of Germany admitted for the first time the pox• sibility of defeat. And when he had concluded his remarks, the in• escapable inference was that he foresaw that the war could end only after complete destruc- tion of ono or the other system -- democracy or totalitarianism. 5 * * New Plan For Aid President Roosevelt last week announced a swt.. ping new plan 'for helping Great Britain, under which the U. S. Government w•auld take over future British war orders and release the materials for use abroad on a lease •or i'nortgage bas- is to be repaid in kind after the war, • Under the plan, planes and guns, for example, would be leased to Britain. After the war, if they were still in .good condition, Britain would be expected to give them back. If they were destroyed, she would be• obligated to furnish the United States with equivalent weapons. The President likened it to a man lending a neighbor a hose to put out a fire in his house. "Already -In" That the United States was al- ready in the war was the conten- tion of Herbert Agar, editor of the F.onisville Conrier-Journal. He call- ed it foolishness "not to recognize. publicly that we aro at war." Many Americans would of course agree with Mr. Agar, but the majority no doubt were of the opinion that the U. S. could still stay out of the war if it wished to; that it wouldn't jump in until late spring at the very earliest. (The peak year in Defense expenditure would not come until 1942). "Win In 1942" Lord Lothian's last address link- ed the fate of the limited States directly with that of Great Britain and emphasized repeatec.iy that the issue now depended largely on what America decided to do With help from the United States the British Empire could win the war "and win decisively in 1942 if not before," he declared. # k „ "Must Accept Report" Preoccupation with the festivi- ties of the Christmas season last week in the Dominion Meant a concurrent.lull in the field of po- litics. The most important do- mestic event on the horizon re- mained the series of Dominion - Provincial conferences opening in Ottawa January 14 at Which the fate of. the Rowell-Sirois report would be decided . . . "Canada has no choice but to accept the recommendation of the Report", last week declared R. M. Fowiet, legal advisor to the Commission's chairman, "It is a ease of accept it or else. This is one of the Most significant clocutnetts in Canadian history," he continued. "If we do not accept it and abide by its recommendations, 'the loss. to the country will be terrific. This loss will manifest itself in defaulting provinces and munici- palities, tax collection wastage and human suffering." The big question of course was --would the Premiers of Ontario, British Columbia and Alberta concur in its adoption? (Six Cab- inet Ministers are accompanying Premier Hepburn to Ottawa representatives of virtually every branch of the Provincial Govern- ment and every phase of social, educational and industrial acti- vity — so the outlook is reason- ably .hopeful). Grain: East and West Other interest centred upon the forthcoming meeting in To- ronto of the Canadian Agricultur- al Conference. Representative wheat -producing organizations in the west last week adopted a pro- gram of agricultural aid to be placed before the conference, call-, ing for the launching of a vig- orous campaign for new markets for Canadian wheat and establish- ment of a quota system for the 1941 crop . . . With the eastern feed situation threatening to as- sume critical proportions, A. M. Shaw, chairman of the Dominion Agricultural ''Marketing Board, left for the prairies in the first direct move to round up low- grade western wheat for eastern farmers. If sufficient supplies of low-geade wheat are available, the Agricultural Marketing Board and the Wartime Prices and Trade Board will combine in a drive to secure cut-rate freight rates to bring the grain east. Are You Grouchy In The Morning? Snap Out of Bad Mood For Personality Development • Howard J. Wisehaupt, lecturer, offers the following five rules to develop personality: 1—Get up when you wake up and Wake up when you get up. 2—Start smiling as soon as you get up. No one ever had a mean thought while smiling. 3 -Radiate a little happiness in the house by saying something nice to your wife or to the maid if your wife does not get 4—When you leave the house, breathe deeply and get good fresh air into the bottom of your lungs. 5—Start the day right by speaking cheerfully to co-work- ers. • He said three attitudes which kill personality are fear, worry and criticism.
