Toner Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters (No. 35) PROTECTING WILD LIFE I have been describing the na- tural: -history - of Ontario in this column and now 1 want to tell you something of the Govern- ment agencies that protect and replenish our wild life resources. These activities are of many dif- ferent kinds, the game warden you meet while hunting or fish- ing, the hatchery truck taking fingerling to the little lake back in the hills, the conservation of- ficer speaking before your local association, all are part of the Provincial Game and Fisheries Department. However, both Dominion and Province accept certain responsi- bilities in regard to our wild life. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police protect the clucks and geese by enforcing the Migratory Bird Act. • The Forestry Branch takes care of much of the re- forestation in Ontario. The Game and Fisheries Department looks after the angling interests; the commercial fisheries, the fur - bearers, the deer and the upland game. It is mainly of this De- partment I will write about in the next two or three columns, First Game Law The present Department was founded about 1905 but there were several forerunners of it in the late1800's. The earliest game raw as applied to what is now Ontario was enacted in 1821, It established a closed season on deer between January 10th and July 1st. Six months and two weeks is certainly a gen- erous open season and there was iso bag limit. You could shoot as many deer as you could get between July and January but I suppose even so generous a law was regarded in those days as too Revere and no doubt there were plenty of grumblers among the hunters of 120 years ago. I was reading a book the other clay, written in 1800 by Isaao .Weld. This gentleman toured Canada between 1795 and 1797 and described the conditions of life in some parts of Ontario. lie mentions dining at a friend's home, in Kingston, where they had a saddle of venison and a fifteen pound salmon from Lake Ontario as the main course. The part that rather pleased me was the statement that both the veni- son and the salmon were bought from an Indian for a bottle of rum and a loaf of bread. Game and fish must have been plenti- ful but apparently only twenty years later regulatory laws were needed as I have shown above. Bird Banding Aids Research Into Habits of Migratory Birds — Helps In Their Con- servation Information gained through marking wild birds with number- ed metal bands enables the Can- adian and United States Govern- ments to take co-operative mea- burea for the conservation of ►Migratory birds, states the De- partment of Mines and Resources, Ottawa, An example has rodent - I/ arisen in connection with re- ports of the heavy losses sus- tained by the woodcock on its wintering grounds in the Gulf States last year because of un- precedented cold weather. These reports were substantiated by in- vestigations in the Maritime Provinces, ,which revealed thnt the birds were less numerous ▪ there than in 1939. Each of the countries concerned took prompt action, by reducing its previous open season for the hunting of • these birds, to protect the wood- cock and the sport that it af, fords. - NUMBERi';D 1IETAL BANDS Officinl aluminum bands found on legs of woodcock taken by hunters in the Maritime Prov- inces definitely establish where these birds spend the winter. In tate case of three such bands sent in to the Department Fegcntly, investigation sowed that all of the woodcock concerned had been banded during the winter months, two of them in Louisiana, and the other in Alabama. The history of one band revealed that the woodcock had been caught and ' banded on January 2, 1937, at Sherburne, Louisiana, and that it had survived shooting for at least four open seasons and a portion ,of a fifth, only to fall ea October 28, 1940, near Wolf- ville, Nova Scotia, "No ireat•nation has ever been overcome until it has destroyed it€elf. —Will Durant, All Balkans An Armed Camp As New Front Develop RUMANIA YUGOSLAVIA Yugoslavia stoll•d signing ,vith axis, hos 750,000 troops Turkey also hos 1,000,000 troops in other sections of the country TURKEY Each Symbol Equals Ono Division (15,000 troops) 1 1 v BRITISH ©GERMAN , A ih GREEK © ITALIAN TURKISH 50 With millions of troops lining Balkan borders, sights trained on threatened foes, southeaster!)

IS AIDING BRITAIN IN `BATTLE OF ATLANTIC' "Never before In the history of our sea power have we had such need of many more ships and great numbers of. men."— British First Lord of the Ad. miralty, A. V. Alexander. "The Battle of the Atlantic must bo won In decisive man• nor. It must be won beyond all doubt if the declared policies of the Government and people of the United States are not to be forcibly frustrated."— British Prime Minister, Win- ston Churchill. "The British people and the Grecian allies need ships. From America they will get ships. They need planes. From America they will get planes. They need food. From America they will get food. They need tanks and guns and ammuni- tion and supplies of all 'kinds. From America they will get tank' and guns and ammuni- tion and supplies of all kinds." U. S. President, Franklin D. Roosevelt, * * * First Lord of the Admiralty . A. V. Alexander last week warned the British people that they were now witnessing "The Battle of the At- lantic," a titanic struggle for mas• tea's of the Atlantic shipping lanes, the outcome at which would un- doubtedly decide who would win the war, He was opttmistto that a British victory "will not only bo certain—It will be quick," if the Umpire could hang on until Ameri- can aid is received in sufficient quantity. - Prime Minister Churchill Dolt lowed him with a report ou the Battle, which he termed "one of the most momentous in all the an- nals of war," and declared that Britain and the U. 9, must win a final mastery of the Atlantic or .face separate attack. 6,000,000 Tone Sunk British shipping losses for the tlt'et eighteen months of the pre- sent war reached a total of 5,000,- 000 tous, more than 600,000 greater than for the first two and one-half 'years of the last war. This was terrible news. Replacements would have to be• found, and rapidly, if not in the shipyards of Great Bri- tain, then in the harbors and ship- yards of the United States. (1,000,- 000 tons of merchant shipping could volt' soon be made available In the Western hemisphere). Last week President Roosevelt, promised the British virtually everything they needed in the way of ships. The question remained whether the transfers could he made quickly enough to turn the tide In the next phases of the Battle of the A(lan- t lc. Guard Western Approaches The British themselves in the face of such a desperate situation began a concerted attack on all angles of the shipping problem. A mission was sent to the United States to negotiate for more ships Labor Minister Beninppealed for more and more workers in shipbuilding and marine engineer- ing. . , , The Admiralty named Sir Percy Noble as commander-in- chief of the western approaches to Britain, (Those western approaches are vital for movement of Ameri- can supplies to Britain, Moat of U. S. aid must enter through the west since Britain's big eastern and southern ports have been lad'ge- ly put out of action for trans- atlantic shipping), Urge Lane Across Atlantic U. S. experts, it was reported last week, were advising Brltaln to abandon the convoy system and establish a lane of destroyers, 50 miles apart, all the .way across the Atlantic, to thwart German U - Boats. In this lane, vessels carry- ing supplies to Britain would op- erate singly, at full speed, . and would be given a clear go-ahead. U.S. Fighting By Summer President Roosevelt's speech in Washington committing the United States to a total effort, with the ob- jective of a "total victory" over the dictators, was so strongly bel- ligerent that in Rome it was said: "Regardless of juridical fiction the United States is now at war with the Axis .. , the war is no longer one of Europe againet England, but of Europe against A.merlca." At home in the' U. S., Congressman Knutson of Minnesota voiced the general belief when ho predicted that the United States would be at war within "GO or 90 ' days."

St, Lawrence Seaway In Canada tho brg news of the week was the signing, after. 39 - years of negotiation between the U. 9, and the Dominion, of an. agreement for joint development of the St. Lawrence as a seaway and power project. The pact set the stage for, Ontario and New York state each to get 1,000,000 horsepower of electric _power, 'and ultimately for an ocean route frotn the head of the Great Lakes to the Atlantic. The project will, of course, have to be ratified by both the Canadian parliament and U. S, Congress, but when it does go through, Canadians can look for tremendous changes to be wrought in the fact of their land.

The submarind workings of Dight shore collcries now extend almost four miles out under the floor of .the Atlantic ocean and aro still advancing seawards, Dr. Gray said. "This is by far the most 'ex- tensive . submarine coal -mining operation in any country and will become relatively more important as `the other coalfields .of Nova Scotia are worked out," .he said, Sydney C.

Bentley imprisons him in a cellar, orders' his men to steal Hayhook calves 'and make it appear Larry Is the thief. At the Hayhook the next morning, Bent- ley gets a call saying that Collins has been caught with the stolen calves, The Colonel is determined to hang Larry. The Colonel and OOarnes go to the truck, promising to come by for Larry .at midnight. Monnie goes to Bentle'y's, deter- mined "to tell that calf stealer what I think of him."

"Hanging's Too Good!" Monnie ran into trouble when she suggested returning to the Hayhook at once. Cordially, but firmly, Bentley insisted that she remain for luncheon, then fly up to Lost Canyon and see how the sheriff's search was progressing.

Pumps Lead New Shoes For Spring Show Many Variations On Always -Flattering Shoe Style The new spring shoes deserve a certain amount of having. Pumps are, after all, .,the most flattering of shoes, and the varia- tions on the pump idea are in- finite this year. Also, there is more variety in leathers and col- ors than ever. LOTS OF BRIGHT RED Everywhere you look in the stores these days — in clothes, shoes, bags—there is a great deal of very bright red. The store people hope that the general pub- lic will curb its use of red to one or two spots to a costume. As to shoes, they think that red shoes ought to - be fine with a black, beige or navy suit, with no other touch of red anywhere. That means neutral gloves, bag and hat. Alligator, which used to be al- most exclusively a fall leather, is all over the place for spring this year. The shoemakers have im- proved their method oP handling it; it is lighter and seems more flexible than it used to be.

True, you may have to shear your locks or even buy a hank or two of hair, but among these new styles, you should find more than one you like. GISSON GIRL TYPE As for pompadour's — do wear one, but don't wear the ono you wore last year. This fashion has undergone alterations and emerg- ed in a dozen or more chic new styles,- some sassy and pert, oth- ers extremely formal in their elegance. That "Naughty Nine- ties" look that has always char- acterized this style off hair -do seems even more pronounced. In fact, ccnsidering so1110 of the hats to be worn atop the new pompadours, it looks as though fashion were determined to slake Gibson girls of us all. CURLED, POMPADOUJR STYLE The biggest news in hair -des is that bangs are hack, Not the straight Saucer Cut or Buster Brown variety, but curled bangs pompadour style. Many famous hair stylists have adopted them, each showing slightly different arrangements . , . front bangs, side bangs, and even double -fea- ture bangs.

In the Thursday nig'ht's game it look ed like a toss-up as the Paris team came on strong at the finish 'to whittle a 4-1 score to 4.3, and come within an ace of tying it up as'the game ran out. We recall the optimistic tone of "Timmer" McDwan of Clinton, who this year is. playing left wing on the line with .MaF'addin and Sills, While talking to him -last Friday afternoon, we asked him what lie thought about the Paris outfit, and 'Timmer" very confidently replied to ,our somewhat 'dubious ears, that the Beavers were somewhat oft colour that night, but with a game under their belt, and a "holiday" practice, "they'd take 'eon" and that's exactly what 'happened. We can still remeniber 'w'ay back in the good old days when Timmer's optimism did run haywire 'ono year. That was when' the Goderich Sailors and Clinton --they weren't then called the Colts—staged tlielr annual fiesta for Group Honours•: That was in the days before amateur hockey was di- vided into classes, and also before it bbecame commercialized as it is today. A team in those days felt that they had risen to supreme heights If they captured group honours, and were priveleged to meet up with Kitchener, or some other city, even though it did mean the consuming of a severe shel- ' lacking. ' On this particular occasion Goderich with the a'ssietance of Butch Mutney and Skipper McDonald, had piled up a 5-1 lead in their first game in Clin, ton, and on looking back at that first mit, now we can remember thinking that the Colts had about as much chance of winning that series as a snowball had of freezing in hadies, but nevertheless, Timnre9r's confidence of overcoming the lead, took a bunch of us through the snow to Goderich to watch it. Wo can't remember the score, but we can remember that our estimation of Thinner's confidence suffered a severe blow. Tho Goderich boys won hands down, But he cor- tainly knew his stuff this time, when he called the Beavers to top Paris. Seatorth and Paisley now go into the Ontario Finals.

L UPI S UNDA Y SCHOOL LESSON LESSON XIII CHRIST'S COMMISSION.— Luke 24:38.53, GOLDEN TEXT. -- Behold, I send forth the promise of my Father upon you. Luke 21:49. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING. Time.—Tho appearance to the ten disciples, Thomas •being ab- sent, took place on Sunday eve- ning, April 9th, the day of the Resurrection; the particular time when the events recorded in verses 44-49 took place, we are not able to determine. It was of course during the last two weeks of April, or the first two weeks of May. The Ascension occurred on Thursday, May 18, A.D. 30. Place. --The appearance to the ten disciples occurred in the up- per room in Jerusalem, The ex- act place where the events of verses 44-49 took place we do not know. The Ascension occurred at the village of Bethany, on the western slope of the Mount of Olives. In this lesson we feel the de- sire on the part of the Lord Jesus to persuade His disciples beyond *11 doubt that He was indeed the Jesus who had been crucified on Calvary, that He had truly, in Bis own body, risen from the dead; and, this being true, He pressed upon the disciples the obligation to proclaim to the world the truths involved in His life and death and Resurrection. Evening of Resurrection Suddenly, while Peter and John were describing what had previously passed between them- selves and the risen Christ, they became conscious •of a Presence in their midst. Luke 24:36. "And as they apake these things, he himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you." With Christ the words of greeting were no empty formality, The Resurrection was a divine assurance that peace had been re-established between God and His world; and the original disciples of the Lord, who had continued with Him in His temp- tations, were the first to receive the message of this reconcilia- tion, as they were to be the first to publish it to mankind, . "Why Are Ye Troubled?" 37. "But they were terrified arid affrighted, and supposed that they beheld a spirit." The disciples probably at once recog- nized that the person who stood before them was the Lord, yet they did not believe it was Christ in a body, but simply the disembodied spirit of Jesus. And such an apparition would fright- en the most hardened individual, 88. "And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? 26. And wherefore do questionings arise in your heart?" They believed, and they did not believe. 39. "See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a Spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye behold Inc having. 40. And when he had said this, he showed them his hands and his feet." If these disciples were not to have a pro- found conviction of the truth that he had risen from the grave, then they could never unflinch- ingly, incessantly, boldly, preach the Resurrection of Christ, They Mist have abundant evidence, incontravertible evidence: they load it before the forty days of Christ's appearance had been eompleted. 41, "And while they. still disbelieved for joy, and won- dered, he said unto them, Have is here anything to eat, 42. And they gave him a piece of broiled fish. 43. And he took it, and ate before them." Final Instructions 44. "And he said unto them, 'hese are my words which I 'peke unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must needs he fulfilled, which are visit -tee ie the law of ;closes, and the prophets, and the psalms, concerning me. 46. Then opened he their mind, that they might Understand the scriptures," Christ eagerly began to interpret to the disciples some of the greater Xfessianic passages of the Old Testament which His coming, and heath, and resurrection had ful- filled. Soon He would go away, but the word of God would not depart from them; it would re - Wain in their hands, and, know- ing its meaning, convinced of its divine origin and the fulfilment of its prophecies, they could go forth to proclaim the Lord Jesus es the Christ of whom Moses and $be Prophets had spoken. This le what we constantly find the Apostles doing in the Acts or the Apostles. Witnesses of These Things 46. "And he said unto them, Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer, and rise again from the dead the third day. 47. And that repentance and remis- sion of sins should be preached In his name unto all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem." This Is not 'an invitation, but a com- mand: it Is nota suggestion, but • This Is Typical of England Today The magnificence of the British stand often is reflected in little things . , . little things such as this picture. A London mother and baby, bombed out of their home, wear strikingly similar expressions of the will -to -go -on as they wait among their belongings to be taken to a safer place. All.. order, Those who believe that Christ died for our sins and rose again, who believe the word of God, are those to whom this com- mission is given. 48. "Y. are witnesses of these things." The word "witness" implies fact. The task of the disciples was to say, "We knew Him living, we mourn- ed Him dead, we saw Him risen." The Ascension 49. "And behold, I send forth the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry we in the city, until ye be clothed with power from on high." The promise of the Father is the promise of the Holy Spirit, refined to in Isaiah 44:3 and other Old Testament books and by Christ himself dur- ing Passion Week. 50. "And he led them out until they were over against Bethany: , and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them. 51. And it came to pass, while he blessed then, he parted from them, and was carried up into heaven. 52. And they worship- ped him, and returned to Jerusa- lem with great joy: 53. And were continually in the temple, blessing God." This worship of Jesus, in whom we see the deity, and who in His person is deity, will continue to all eternity, The visible presence of Jesus was gone, not to appear again as be- fore, but when the disciples re- turned to Jerusalem, their hearts sang with great joy, They were not bereaved, but enriched.

P. Mulock announced in the House of Commons. Mr. Mulook, in answer to n ques- tion put by Gordon B, Isnor, Lih• ` oral, Halifax, said; "I have pleas- ure in stating that the Trans -Can- ada air mail service will be ex- tended' on or about April '15 from the former eastern terminal at Moncton, N,13., to Halifax, and that the frequency of service between Montreal, Moncton and Halifax will be increased to two round trips daily including Sunday, , "This will furnish hi direct air. mail eev�•'ce between Halifax and Vancouver, an4 by eliminating the necessity of a trausfer of mails and passengers at Moncton will further -reduce the elapsed time necessary to fly between the Atlantic and Pacific shores of this Dominion. The inclusion of Halifax on ' the . main transcontinental air route is • the logical outgrowth not, only ot the continually increasing volume of air mail destined for and origin- ating in Halifax, but oleo of the progressive policy of tho post office department in furnishing Caned tans with beet possible air mail service, an air mall service second to none."
