BEHAVE YOURSELF'
with.empty beer bottles and old
lunch wrappers.
Town, village And country fisher
men are inclined to place all the
blame upon the anonymous angler
from the city, but we have known
plenty of countrymen who were
pretty careless too.
Within recent years there has
been a great revival in the outdoor
sports. We have seen figures which
prove that angling alone accounts
for more spending than all other
sports combined, including profes-
sional hockey, baseball and football,
This is all to the good, since there is
no more healthful or gratifying way
of enjoying leisure time than mean-
dering along the banks of a stream.
The only trouble is that the woods
are now full of pseudo outdoorsmen,
who have taken up fishing and hunt-
ing only because it is stylish and at
present popular. By nature they be-
long right back in town or city,
where they can double park their
empty cigarette packages on the
sidewalks.
Your true sportsman never likes
to clutter up the landscape. He has
come out into the broad outdoors
because it gives him an opportunity
to be close to nature in its purest
form, ,and the last thing he wants
to do is leave signs of his presence.
If you're going after trout' on
opening day, why not call up the
farmer on whose land you want to
walk and ask his permission. Most
farmers we know are first class fel-
lows and yon will not only get per-
mission, but a warm welcome as
well. Then, if vott, use your old
noggin when it comes to taking care
of the property on which you are a
guest your welcome will be fresh
and sparkling When trout season
opens next year - and you will have
a true friend into the bargain.
MORE EYES NEEDED
A national campaign to have Ca-
nadians will their eyes to the Eye
Bank of\ Canada, operated by the
Canadian National Institute for the
Blind, has been conducted by the
Health League of Canada..
One of the major problems facing
surgeons is the scarcity of donor
eyes suitable for corneal grafting.
The important function of the Eye
Bank is to obtain the eyes as soon
after death as possible, and to trans-
port them to waiting surgeons with-
out delay..
Since the institution of the Eye
Bank of Canada in 1956, 205 eyes
have been provided for corneal graft-
ing-. A donor system has been insti-
tuted by CNIB whereby persons
wishing to donate their eyes after
death may do so by signing a card.
There are at present over 5,000
names on the Ontario donor list
alone,
The recently formed Manitoba
division of the Eye Bank has ,already
performed a double miracle. Two
cousins, blind most of their lives,
now have good sight. They had the
corneas of a thoughtful housewife
transplanted to their eyes.
Henri, a Manitoba farmer, saw
his wife -for the first time in 14 years.
Maurice, a former bookkeeper, may
not go back to his old job but he
will be able to do other work with
the help of new-found sight. There
is now hope for 20 other members of
the same family, victims of the same
eye disease.
The Eye Rank, however, is now
in need of corneas. Eye Banks are
now located in Vancouver, Edmon
ton, Saskatoon, Winnipeg, Toronto
and Montreal, and each week, some-
where in Canada, someone who has
been blind, sees again. To continue
this work of sight restoration, the
Eye Bank must have a constant flow
of corneas.
Officers and members of the
Winghain 8portsmen's1 Association
have issued a reminder to fishermen
.generally that they face a big public
relations probleia with the opening
of the fishing season. Next Satur-
day morning, when thousands of
eager trout anglers spread out over
this part of the province, they will
have a wonderful opportunity to
make or mar their chances for fish-
ing opportunities next year.
Since most -of the trout water in
Southern Ontario flows through
lands which are privately owned, it
is virtually impossible to enjoy the
sport without trespassing. Many
anglers have the mistaken notion
that if streams are stocked with fish
t public expense, as many of them
are, the farmer has no right to
prevent fishermen from using the
streams. It may be true that the
fish are there for the taking, but the
angler: has no rights whatsoever as
he approaches these waters over the
farmer's land, He is entirely depen-
dent upon the good nature of the
land owner.
It goes without saying that the
average farmer is not going to be
good natured about fishermen this
spring if the sports of last year left
his gates open and broke down his
_fences. The sloppier type may even.

'PRESS AND PEOPLE
Last week there was a bit of a
to-do up at Walkerton, where rep
resentatives of the Teachers' Feder-
ation were meeting with th'e public
school board to negotiate salaries.
According to a report in The Walk-
erton Herald-Times, the Federation
reps refused to enter discussions
until the ,newspaper reporter who
was present left the room. The
Walkerton paper. says that W. I. N.
Davies, of Toronto, one of the two
representatives from the Federation
interrupted board chairman Gordon
Tanner as the meeting opened, to
say; "\Ve are not prepared to talk to
the board in front of the press."
Further discussion on the matter
brought forth the information that
the Federation reps would hear of
nothing but a closed discussion and:
a release to the press after the meet-
ing was over. The one newspaper
reporter present was not ,asked to
leave the room by the board, but did
so voluntarily when it became evi-
dent that his presence was holding
up the discussion.
What, precisely, has the Feder-
ation got to hide? Its representa-
tives would be at the meeting with
one express purpose, that of secur-
ing higher wages for the staff mem-
bers. If they are ashamed to have
the public hear the discussion there
must be something wrong with the
basic honesty of the claim for more
pay-
Since teachers' salaries are paid,
one hundred per cent, by the rate-
payers of this province, it hardly
seems logical that the general public.
as represented by the press, should
he excluded. Teachers, above all
people in this land, should be aware
of the vital part a free press plays in
the maintenance of democratic prac-
tices. If they doubt it, we would
recommend a course of reading
which would include the current
happenings in South Africa, where
one of the most dire needs is the
balancing influence of a free and un-
hampered press.

Once upon a. time, two or three.
million years ago, a Canadian
couple lived in, a cave With their
three small children, When the
winter ;had, begun, they'd had eight
smalt childrea, but they'd had to
keep the wolf away from the Boar
somehow, and the wolf was very
partial • to small children,
Now, it was spring and things
were tough, The mammoth they'd
lint `in the deep freeze at the hack
of the cave was - geawed to tusks
and tail. The Mother had begnn
to 'eye the three small children,
gaunt as they were, in it rather
Chilling manner. And every time
the Father looked. at the Mother,
saliva leaked out the corners of
his -mouth. She had a little more
meat on her than the three small
children.
-x-x-
As for the - three small children,
they took a snap at the calves of
their parents every time they
crawled past them. And the wolf
had long since forsaken the front
door. He knew well that if he
whined once, he'd be hauled in
clubbed and end up as guest of
honor at a wolf dinner,
It was a tense situation and just
to make it unbearable, the Mother
started agitating 'about the con-
dition of the cave. She wanted, all
the bones picked up and dumped
outside,' the skins on. the floor
shaken out, and the mammoth's
skeleton dragged outside, so she
'could - get into the corners and
clean theses .
Maintaining en iron self-control,
the Father went to work. He knew
that if he hit her, as he should,
and she. went .down, 'he'd .mince
on her and gobble her up. _He
didn't want to ito that, as she was
a good woman. She always chew-
ed the tougher pieces of meat
before handing them to him. And
she" made the'nteat sabreetnoth
tiger soup in- the neighaorhond.
But she made a mistake when
she told hint to go out and get
some clean sand for the floor. He
rolled hack the stone at the mouth
of the cave. It was a golden
raornieg, blue sky, world turning
gi4ne• He took a deep breath, a.
quick look over his shoulder, and
off, in that order, and didn't stop
until he had reached' The Place
Where the Big Ones Are.
When her mate failed to return,
the Mother snarled: "That lousy
barn, He never has time to do
anything around the house, but he
always has time to go to The place
Where the Big Ones Are." The
three email - children, knowing they
were tieing ore bdrrovied time any-
way, nodded their three small
heads agreeably, though they didn't
have a clue about What was both-s
ering her, as she stormed around
eieaping up.
Ey noon, the cave was tidy and
the Mother was fit to be tied. She
sat in the cave entrance, chewing
her nails in a combination of rage
and ravenousness, The three smell
children sat in the mot on their
three small ho t toms, looking
worried.
When they saw their Mother pick
up her club and advance on them,
the three small children uttered
three small squeaks of ,despair; and
forgetting that they hadn't learned
to walk, got up and began to run
like blazes,
dust then, who .should come
strolling up, whistlipg, but Father?
The Mother scarcely lied time to
hide her club behind her bade'
"Bet you don't know what I've got
for yon," beamed the daddy coyly,
hiding something behind his back.
"Ana I'll het you don't know what
I've got for: YOU," she countered,
grinning whitely, and clutching her
Chia tighter.
But he knew her of old, Just as
she swung, he leaped like a (leer
and she missed. ,ginning hugely,
he whipped from behind his back
a knotted piece of bide, on which
were strung the three biggest rain-
bow trout you ever saw.
After the teats of remorse, and
her assurance that it was just her
nerves, he gave her a 12-pound
trout She was well into it before
she remembered, with slim-tie, and
said: "Go anal find the three small
ehildren and give them a WO
She could 'have saVed, her breath,
as the three small children were
already' crawling out from behind
three small rocks, their three small
noses quivering and their three
small teeth _ glittering. Soon their
three small bellies Were dragging
on. the ground.
And - so they all lived happily
ever after. Until next winter.
And that's the story of Opening
Day of the trout season, and how
it acquired its significance in our
Canadian way of life, even though

Editor, Advance-Times,
Dear Sir:
I was very pleased' with your
news-story in the current Advance-
Times titled: Investigate Larger
Maitland Authority. Following
your excellent pictorial layout of
a couple of, weeks earlier, showing
the Maitland river in various flood
conditions, I think that the various
communities and municipalities
within the Maitland watershed
would rally behind' the leadership
of Mayor R. E. IvfeRinney (Wing-
llam)• -now,, that, lids. -been . tl-P-
pointed to "look into the possibili-
ties of having the communities and
municipalities not already attach-
ed to the Middle Maitland. River
Authority join together• in order
to have the whole watershed under
one conservation grottp".
I think this is leadership of the
first order, whether impulsed at
Queen's Park or Wingham. Apart
entirely from .the practical and ec-
onomic 'benefits likely to flow from
the above widening of the Maitland
authority, there are social and eth-
ical results of water conservation
which merit elle enthusiastic sup-
port of all the people in this gen-
eral area--as a community effort.
The fact that, reportedly, local op-
erating funds "get matched dol-
lar for dollar by the provincial
government grants" look good to
me. From the viewpoint of one of
your Wroxeter readers, I desire
to stiy that the 50-acre Maitland
Lake at the heart of this little com-
munity has drawn more than one
resident to Wroxeter. It is one
of our local treasures.
As a classic example of the NM-
tinning benefits growing upon the
tree of 'conservation' I send along
the following deathless picture to
the spotlight. It came to me from
a noted conservationist (Robson
Slack, C.E'.A.) dealing with Steed-
ish forests: "'Yesterday I saw the
