PEN DOESN'T PAY: The Winni- peg Free Press asks why it is that a country this size, population al- most, 12,000,000, can't boast at least 120 first-rate authors, one to every 100,000 Canadian people. Reason is, of course, that an author in order to be "first-rate" must devote his entire time to his art, which means the products of his pen must earn' - him enough to live,ont 'Easier said' than done. So much easier, in fact, that we have only one oet, two or three novelists' in tie' entire Dom- inion, who are able to live solely by their independent literary work. PLAY IT DOWN: Although the danger of •war in Europe and the Far East is increasing day, by day, we're not supposed to know it over here in Canada. A number of the big business houses in the Domin- ican have come to believe that con- tinual featuring of war -scare news in the press and on the radio is par- tially responsible for the slump in, trade — that it's, well, bad for bus- iness. It is rumored that they are exerting pressure on the larger newspapers, to go slow on the scare headlines, and play' up our forth- coming election, and such, instead.

N T A R I O UTDOORS By VIC BAKER FIFTY MILLION FISH IN ONTARIO WATERS Fifty million young whitefish have been deposited in the waters of Georgian Bay and Lake Simcoe this year by Superintendent Geo. Andrews and his staff of the Col- lingwood hatchery, according to recent reports reaching this col- umn. The fingerlings were propagat- ed in the Ontario hatchery. during the winter and this spring and early summer are being spent in distributing the fish about in dif- ferent areas where it is known they will thrive. Some of the lo- cations chosen are reported as the Marry Ward Shoal, Nottawasaga Bay, in the vicinity of the Chris- tian Islands and possibly as far as Red Rock. Lake Couchiching will receive a'• good quantity of the young fish. • • Distribution was delayed more than two weeks owing to the late ice conditions which kept the tem- perature of the bay waters too low to risk the transfer from the Collingwooal Hatchery. .This re- cent stocking is expected to dispel any fear of a shortage ,or disap- pearance of whitefish in -these wa- ters. The hatchery will now turn • its attention to the propagation of pickerel and some 25 million are expected to be distributed a few months from now. BAGPIPES CHARM FISH Even in fishing the old adage of "Try, try again" is useful, but if even this philosophy should prove successful, pull out your bagpipes and a tune will bring its rewards. At least the following account seems to prove something along these lines. Tom Mackay, drum major of the Highland Pipe Band in Sydney, Australia, claims he can charm fish with his bagpipe, and other mem- bers of the band back up his boast. When the pipers were fishing ' recently at Kildare- gone got a: bite until Mackay strife up on his pipes. After that, fish began to bite readily, and within an hour and a half the men had landed 20 fish, including one weighing 50 pounds. Fox breeders of Chipman, N.B., believe that two pups in a litter born there are platinum foxes, one being the ordinary silver type.
