The silver, jubilee of Goderich
Summer School ended on a high note
on Sunday after a 'stleceieful week of
camping. As usual, the camp wafS held
at the regular site north of GodeilCh.
9 , The annual. 'Communion serviCe 'Was
hel&,.early ,,Sunda.y morning and was
in, charge of the dean, Rev, Robert
P. Bates, MotherWell, assieted by Rev,
R. Gordon Hazlewood, Walton„ and.
Rev. W. Donald Goodger, Kirkton.
The regular morning church service
was under - Mr. Hazleyvo&I's direction
and the Speaker foi th%, morning was
Evan McLagan, Mitchell, a student for
the United Church ministry. It was
at the camp a year ago that Evan
decided to go into the Christian min-
istrei and it seemed most fitting that he
should be the speakr at this year's
special celebrations. He chose to
speak on the Ten- Connetandmente and
how they dealt especially with the
lives of those who had lived On a
pinnacle at Gloderich Summer School
during the past week. He Said that
every one who had been there -had
certainly reached a new high in
mountain -top experiences as far as
Christian .life was concerned, and it
was up -to them to -go back home and
point to others the way cirbetter living:,
.He told how much the camp a year ago
had meant to him and how much the
present one had meant. He had had
several problems while he had been
able to have answered 'at carap and
he knew others Wiere likewise minded.
He challenged eyeryone.- to practise
living in the camp spirit at home.
Everyone w,ho hadbeen at camp had
indeed .been given 'a heavy ,responsibil-
eyee,:eeeeeese sitys hr goingelioneezentlr 'workilferk
harder for the Master. He closed his
remtreks by urging eVeryone listening
to -him to be a better citizen of Christ's
Kingdom. "We do not want another
World War," he declared, "but. 'If we
do not work together a great deal more
than we have been doing, and as King
George said a, few years ago in, his
Christmas meesage put • our hand in
the hand Of Ged, our -position iS Certain-
ly topelees." •
Certificates' -
The dedication and presentation of
certificaEes took place -on. Saturday
night and this was one of the. prettiest
sights seen for many .a day. While
it was taking place an aeroplane flew
over and the next day -it was reported
in Camp that the significance,was very
plain in the sky. The staflit their
torches from' the cainptire and then the
• •f
campers lit their torches from those
of the staff. They formed a huge
circle and spread right- across the
campus. While there the eampfire was

Sigma the campers relurned to the
campfire and each put his torch on the
already hUrning cross. This made a
huge cros8 which, when burning bright-
ly really was a sight to behold. Mr.
ItazIewood gave a splendid dedicatiOn
addre:.•;s.

FISH HATCHERY CARRYING
OUT NEW POLICY
SOUTHAMPTON, July 20.—In line
with, the new policy adopted by the
Ontarie DePartment of Fisheries, the
local fish hatchery- this year allowed
the young trout to reach the fingerling
size, about1/2 inches long, before
placing them, in the lake, and Super-
intendent A.. Brown states that' the
hatch this year produced the best fish
they have ever led. The thousands
of trout fingerlings_ are .now all dis-
tributed in Lake Huron at 'points from
Goderkh to north of Toberniory. •
Commercial fishing is almost at a
standstill in Lake Huron and Georgian
Bay, 'but some veteran .fishermen at
the Tub are °optimistic about the future.
They cermet, agree on the cause of
the depletion of the fish but state there
are signs that the; trout are coming
back, slowly . but surely.
-The Department reports that to date
over 36,000 lamprey eels have, been
netted and destroyed elong the North
Shore and fishermen are confident this
will have a helpful effect on, trout
catches.

TOURIST HOMES COULD -
ACCOMMODATE MORE
Tourist homes in Goderich so far
this season :leave not been filled. to
capacity as was expected .soine weeks
ago, it is stated by a meniber of the
Voderich Board of Trade.
The same spokesman pointed out that
erroneous. reports have been more or
lesS circulatedthat accommodation was
rather difficult to secure in Goderich,
whereas the„truth of the matter is that
tourist homes in Goderich can 'handle
.niore; people- than they are or have
been handling.
Indications., are that the 'tourists,
ivith more 'gasoline and better tires:
are going farther north this year. The
most comnion query at the tourist
information bureau here Is "How's the
road to Tobermory?" or asking for
information about places considerably
