One of the first steps to he taken by the new association is the issuing of Pesters in every township setting forth the aims of the association and listing the names of authorities to be con- tacted in connection with the loss of livestock and POUltry. In view of the fact that reeves and deputy reeves are indirectly responsible for law enforce- ment in their respective municipalities, it was deeded that they should be the acting body of Livestock Protective Association, with the Agricultural Committee of the county council, the committee in eerharge. Property owners should immediately contact the nearest Provincial Police office, reeve or deputy-reeve of the township in which they reside to re- port any loss of property, particularly livestock or poultry. Names and addresses of reeves in this district are as follows: Ashfield, Reeve Elmer Graham, RR 1, Port Albert 22r4 Dungannon; Grey, Reeve C.

Keith Walker of Edmonton after escaping from a Vampire jet which came to grief at 1)e Havil- land airport in Toronto. On completing a routine flight, the 22-year-old auxiliary RCAF pilot Overshot the landing strip by 150 feet, bounced his fast-mov- ing aircraft across a graded field and, after covering half a mile, veering across two landing strips at 100 miles an hour, brought the jet to a standstill. "The plane kept going in all directions—like a wild steer," said Walker, seen above. "When it finally step- ped, I didn't waste time, I got out and started running, as I was sure the plane would blow up." The young pilot, unharmed by- his escapade, came to Toronto' last November as an auxiliary' member of Squadroti 411.

RThigeteli Week 00DtRICIN, (War% ,,,,,,,,,,,, REMINISCING FORTY YEARS AGO Provincial Inspector Ayearst with License Inspector Matt Beckett of Owen,.; Sound, Provincial Constable Phippen, of Wingham, and two detect- ives swooped down from Owen Sound to Durham in motor cars on Sunday morning and raided the two leading hotels. Their coming was a complete surprise to the proprietor and town. In the Middaugh. House six kegs of lager were confiscated, its first of- fence, while at the Hahn House a small amount of lager' and whiskey were secured. The lattd hotel had been previously convicted. The seizur- es have been placed in charge of Con- stable Whalen and the trial will take place shortly. Proprietor Legate of the Queen's Hotel, Owen Sound, acted as One of the chauffeurs. The Board of Directors of the Wing- ham Hospital at a meeting on Thurs- day evening last engaged Mr. F. C. Lee, of the firm of Stephen and Lee, architects, of Toronto, to prepare plans and specifications for the new wing which is to be built at the Wing- ham General Hospital. Mr. Lee has prepared the plans for all the large hospitals in Canada and the United States, making a specialty of this class of work, so that the new wing to be built here will be modern and up to date in every particular. It has been felt for a long time that more room has been needed at the hospital and the new wing is being built with a view to providing rooms for matern- ity cases and also for an up-to-date operating room, which will be located on the third floor. An elevator will also be placed in the building and more modern apartments will be provided for the nurses. The new wing will cost in the neighbourhood of $5,000 and as funds are required for the carrying on of the work, any donations sent to Dr. A. .1, Irwin, treasurer, will be much appreciated by the hospital board. The fifteen charges of violating the local option law, which were laid as a result of Inspector Ayearst's visit to Lucknow recently, were heard in Kin- cardine last week. * * * TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO Will Taylor and Wallace Gurney brought honor to their town and school at the inter-school meet in Lon- don on Saturday. The former won the high jump at 5 ft. 4.i in, while Wal- lace made a new junior record in the pole vault, when he topped the stick at 8 feet 10% inches.

One young g. had most of her clothes burned. Mr. Hayden cannot account for the blaze, believing it may have originated on the back verandah from firecrack- ers or a match carelessly tossed down. Loss is largely covered by insurance. On Saturday, Carl; son of Charles Bondi, pulled a heavy travelling pul- ley off the track in the basement of the store which in falling hit the lad on the head. The hundred pound arti- cle cut quite a gash, and knocked the lad out for a time but a doctor soon fixed him up. * * * FIFTEEN YEARS AGO Victoria Day cannot be changed this year from May 24 to May 23 to permit its celebration on a Monday, Prime Minister MacKenzie King told the House of Commons in answer to a question from Gordon Graydon (Con., Peel). The holiday was fixed by statute and could only be changed by Parliament changing the statute. The governor-in-council had no power to fix the date as it had in the case of Thanksgiving Day and some other holidays. Crows have been bothering chick- ens of Mr. James Elliott, Con. 4, Turn- berry, so his son, Harold, decided to do something about it. He set a spring trap on top of the pole, and on Thurs- day morning found a large grey owl caught in it. He brought it to town and measured its wing spread at over 4 feet. Its captivity lasted only a few hours, as Mr. Elliott released it on the ! main street, and it quickly disappear-I ed, apparently none the worse for its, experience. On Monday last a transient visited Lakelet, causing much concern among the residents there. Unmindful of in- vitations to move on he decided to sleep in the church but his slumbers were interrupted shortly before mid- night and he was taken into custody by Constables George Westlake and Oliver Galloway and escorted to Code- rich jail. Frost covered the fields with a coat of white Thursday evening of last week and some reported a light coat- ing Iof ice on rain-barrels, but farmers did not believe that the frost would do any damage to fall wheat or other crops. Citizens of Southampton voted on Wednesday of last week to end the local option system which has been in effect for a quarter-century and to permit the opening of beverage rooms. Beverage rooms were approved by a majority of 45 votes over the required three-fifths necessary to make the change in systeni. fiORRIE a p Wingharn Hospital In Regional Council With a view to maintaining a high Standard of public service and to atrengthen inter-hospital relationships In their various communities, over 171 Public general and Bed Cross Hospitals in Ontario have established 13"AlhoPit regional s a/ in the hospital councils, province will be a member of the Regional Council in their particular area which will very in membership from eight to 23 hospitals according to the size of the region," stated A.

Better Co-Operation In. addition to exchanging local hos- pital suggestions on maintaining the most efficient and economical care of the patient, the various Regional Councils, which will meet periodically will concentrate on informing the gen- eral public concerning overall hospital activities, and their place in the com- munity, Mr. Swanson stated that Reg- ional Council meetings will provide a greater opportunity to co-operate with all agencies interested in community health and social needs; and in ad- dition it will establish the best pos- sible relationship with the various municipal authorities. "And above all," continued Mr. Swanson, "It will enable all concerned to have a better under- standing of hospital and patient pro- blems." Although the subjects discussed are planned by each individual council, it is expected that the following topics will be included: Uniform accounting, personnel policies, cost studies, public relations and local hospital problems.

Largest lake trout on record here is a sixty-pounder, caught near cope' Croker on the Bruce Peninsula attput ten years ago by an Indian, Bert Ash- kewee. Fish of 25 to ,pounds are reasonably common in the More Jamie- ily fished tourist areas, Lake trout usually aren't hard to catch. Just after the Ice goes out on northern lakes, they feed close to the surface and may be taken on fly, halt. or spinning tackle. But, as the water . warms up, they go.„deeper. By mid- summer, copper or morsel metal. or cord lines with heavy sinkers are re- quired to take the bait down near the. bottom. The limit is five a day, with ten st,I2 lowed in possession by residents and one day's catch by non-residents. It's quite possible for a fisherman to take W0 pounds a day, although it doesn't happen often. Lake trout aren't hard to please. They strike readily at most baits found in any fisherman's tackle box, including plugs, spinner and spoons of almost any kid, Using fairly light tackle, many find a .live minnow on a light leader, with sinkers to carry it into the depths, is deadly. In the deep waters of Lake Huron. and Georgian Bay, many Indians who fish commercially with wire lines use an archer spinner with a ball of white woollen thread wrapped around the bare hooks. Trolling from canoe, rowboat or power craft is the favourite method- Opinions vary as tp the proper speed, for the boat. Usually 'it is anywhere from one mile to four miles an hour. Once, one struck a bait trolled from- a boat travelling at nearly 12 miles an hour, to the consternation of the sur- prised fisherman. What are the "best" places to catch lake trout? They're found in. almost every deep lake in Ontario and in the Great Lakes. Lake Simcoe, about 41:1' miles from Toronto, produces many. So do lakes almost within the Arctic Circle. The fish is netted commercially in the Great Lakes and the Ontario Lands and Forests Department hatch- eries help to maintain the supply by annual distribution of millions of trout eggs and fry. Thousands are raised to the fingerling stage, too, to stock angling waters. The Department thus ensures continued sport for an increasing number each year who spend vacations here. The lake trout may be fried, broiled:. boiled, baked, or smoked. Its: flesh varies in colour from white to deep pink, like many speckled trout, Wiry, no one knows.
