The fourth game will be played in Halifax tonight.

It seemed that the chubby goal- tender's pads were magnets for Sydney forwards, who swarmed all around the goal but lacked the finesse to shoot the puck past him. Atlantics were just the opposite,

Newcomer M a l' c e l Clements paced the Halifax attack with two goals. The other went to Ross Wat.- son. Andy Mccallum and Dune Mt-lntyre scored Sydney's goals in the first and second periods.

CHARLOTTETOWN MARCH 27. 1954

I I'll 314.60:

A large attendance of sports- men attended the quarterly meet.-

ing of the Queens County Branch Game Association held in the City Hall on Thursday evening. Over 60 were present.

Many spoke on the crisis. Starch and sawdust mentioned specifically and the opinion was general that some- tl.lng must. he done to curb the practice of allowing waste to en- ter our stream: and river: with- out even an attempt by those who create this waste material to divert. it. into other channels of disposal. The starch menace is not so widespread, North Lake. Hunter River and Murray Har- bour are the streams affected. but -'.'iwdust is converting many of our formerly clear flowing. grnvelly streams into gaseous cesspools where no self respecting trout will tarry any longer than it has to. Unwary anglers stepping on to what they think is a sand bar suddenly find themselves sinking in the tops of their hip boots in an evil smelling mess of rotting sawdust. Something must. be done . . .' we can say that again.

The question of raising extra money to build at least treble the number of public fishing dams now being constructed yearly was raised. A resolution was passed unanimously to request the De- partment concerned that separate angling and hunting license: be issued at one dollar each. An angling license is in vogue at present. that exempts farmers. their help. commercial fishermen. etc.. and a universal hunting li- cense covering everyone who hunts - excepting farmer: on their own land or adjoining pro- perty. In short: if a farmer, his family or hired help wish to step over their line fence to follow a covey he can follow it as far HS he likes so long as he walks. If. is estimated that an additional to 12 thousand dollars would raised in this manner.
