LANE REV. D�J NOMINATED AS HEAD OF SYNOD Local Hydro Rates Increased 1$% On Average Trappers Organize In County With the object of improving the lot of those employed in the industry in this section of On- tario, particularly with respect to markets and conservation, Huron Trappers' Association has been organized with the follow- ing officers: President, Mervyn Batkin, Clin- ton; first vice-president, , Robert Johnston, Summerhill; second vice-president, Ross Taylor, Bel- grave; secretary -treasurer, Keith Cox, Goderich Township. Organization meeting of the Association took place in the' Board Room, Ontario Agricultural Office, Clinton, with W.E. Jervis. president, Huron Conservation Association, in the 4chair. Kenneth J. Suck, Goderich, county game overseer, said that many trappers had requested an organization and he felt there was need for one. "There are 50,000 trappers and 40,000 -musk- rats," he declared. He pointed out that in this part of the Pro- vince, trapping could not be operated like the trapline system of Northern Ontario, where trap- ping as done on Crown Lands. Here, the farmer's property must be.considered. Mervyn Batkin presented fig=. ures to show the magnitude of the fur industry in Canada. Value in 1948 had been $32 million, representing over seven million pelts, including Ontario's $8 mil- lion. Principal fur -bearing ani- mals were mink, muskrat and beaver, and even the lowly weasel was important. Mr. Batkin suggested: (1) short- er season for mink; (2) dam up small creeks; ducks and muskrats go together; (3) introduce new fur animals; hold trappers' fur auction as they do in Alberta and elsewhere; (5) re -stock fur animals, just the :same as fish are re -stocked; (6) pay more attention to squirrels ($11/2 mil- lion in 1948). pointed out that Canada's He fur exports a year ago amounted to $271 million. E. R. Meadows, Galt, district inspector, Huron District. Wild- life Division, said he favoured a trappers' organization and believ- ed it would get somewhere. He suggested pooling fur for mar- ket, build public opinion and get it behind the trappers. He fav- oured a $1 licence fee for all fishermen over 16 years. Hunters were forced to pay but fisher- men went scotfree. The more money collected, the more would there be to turn back into de- velopment work, • - Mr. Meadows said he firmly be- lieved that until ground cover is built up well. there never would be wild game and fish life in abundance. One of the greatest points is reforestation, and he advised everyone to assist in a reforestation programme. H e strongly advised getting the farmer who traps, interested in the organization, and favoured zoning trapping areas In South- ern Ontario, He didn't think the mink season - November 1 to February 28 too long, as one mink might destroy 25 muskrats. A stoploss trap for muskrats would save them from suffering. 0 The Presbytery of Huron- Maitland ' of, the Presbyterian Church in Canada met In Clinton' Presbyterian Church on Tuesday, February' 28 at 10 am Ministers and elders were pres- ent from Kincardine, Wingham, Brussels, Bluevale and Belmore, Seaforth, Exeter, Hensall, and Clinton.

Increased Township levy Sought by Federation Directors of the Huron Federation of Agriculture decided hese last week to ask the 16 township councils in Huron to increase the levy, now made by most of the townships in the Federation's behalf, from one-fifth of a mill to two-fifths of a mill on farm assess - month.

A. Mackenzie encl.S. K. Mahood. An informal discussion follow- ed, during which many pertinent facts were revealed, paeticulary with regard to costs of operation, once such a system was Installed, President Clifford H. Epps was in the chair. The guest speakers were introduced by R. E. Holmes, chairman of the Sports committee. Mr. Mackenzie explained the principles behind refrigeration plants of this native He cited the direct expansion system in use in the arena at Nobletnn, where cost of power and, light in January was $93. He stresses! that operating cost varied directly with the colder weather. Mr. Mahood dealt with the present Lions Arena, in Which the ice surface is about 60 feet by 170 feet, and said the present width could be expanded by six feet if the seating was changed. This surface could be utilized for the purpose -required. and would be quite satisfactory to the OHA. Cost of a completely auto- matic direct expansion system completely, installed, would be about $22,000, provided a shell and tube condenser using 70 to 80 gallons of water a minute while operating, were utilized. Mr. Mahood stated that an ex- pensive operator for such a system would not be necessary, as the system was automatic. One man looked after everything at Nobleton. Operating costs were important, end this would be $70 to $90 a month for power and light, exclusive of water used in the system. There was nothing to add from year to year, as the ammonia charge would stay. The operating equipment could be installed in a room 15 by 20 feet.
