Island Odds And Ends

When scientists produced weed- killing chemical agents s few years ago, agrlculturists were seen as the chief benefactors. No one thought that one day game fisher- men would use the chemicals to improve fishing conditions in riv- ers. lakes and ponds. But it has happened in many parts of the United states. and is spreading to Canada. possibly to Prince Edward Island. Many a fisherman in the Province has seen some of his lav- orite ponds gradually become ever- grown with weeds and underwater growth as summer speeds their growth. It is not exaggeration to say that the weeds in some ponds cover three-fourths of the water surface and by late July or early August put a crimp in fly-fishing. and take the joy out of many a fishing trip. g

In other Provinces and States the over-abundance of underwater

growth was sometimes impeded by

the use of motor driven cutting machinery. Something along the same lines was advocated here but never tried. The newer chemical method is inexpensive. for easier to carry out and for the small ponds in the province entirely prac- tical. An American sporting per- iodical ”Outdoor Life". in the sept- ember issue carried a story about the ”i'escue" of an 18.000 acre Flor- ida lake from a plague of vegeta- tion, and the marvellous improve- ment in fishing which followed.

The chemical was sprayed on the weed infested lake from an sero- plane. but in our modest ponds could easily be carried out from a boat with a hand spray.

O O O

Describing the condition of the Florida Lake before it was treat- ed. the writergin "Outdoor Life" says "I had looked down upon just about the sickest body of water you would ever want to see. It was literally being eaten up by water hyacinths. Thirty percent of its en- tire surface was blanketed with tangled masses of vegetation. Near- lv every cove lay festering beneath a solid scab of green."

Worship received the parting gifts and heard him reply to the ad- dress.

The Mayor expressed his sin- cere spprecia-tion of the "wonder- ful" O0-0P0rItion he had receiv- ed from all the employees during his term in office and stated that if the citizens in general knew of W5 Brest amount of work per- formed by the employees of the City they would have a more ap- preciative uridei-standlng of what is being done. In thanking his co-workers for their poi-ting gift His Worship told of his regret at severing a relationship of: twelve years and wished all employees the best of luck in the future.

Following is the text of the ad. (tire-Is lead by City Clerk Fuller- on:

:"I”o Mayor B. Earle MacDonald,

Charlottetown. P. E. Island, "Your Worshipz-

"rhe time has now arrived when you are leaving us to take your position in a larger field of Politics and it is with feeling of regret at losing you that we have assembled here today to wish you farewell.

.”Durin-g your term.s' as Coun- cillor and as Mayor. we, your employees have learned to know and. appreciate you. The grasp of Civic Affairs and particularly Clvie Administration not only made you a valuable represents- tlve of the tax-payers of this City but W35 8 Ml” help to those of us under your supervision. Your wise counsel and advice in all matters pertaining to the various problems which confronted us public servants made us realize that when your tenure of office was over our City would be losing a most brilliant and understand- ing Mayor and we. a very dear friend and advisor.

"Then. too. the many kind-

neues shown by yourself and Mrs. MacDonald during your twelve years in office endeared

you both to us very much. our friendly relations were such that W0 Ombloyiu considered oiii-selves to be one happy family with you and Mrs. Mscbonold as its head.

"We know. that even though you are handing over the reins of offiol. Hie frlenbhib that ex- ists between you and us. cemented by years of common understand- ing. will never be severed.

"As an appreciation of your self and your dear wife we ask you to accept this little gift u a token of the high esteem in which you live in our hearts. May God continue to bless you both. and grant you. Mr. Mayor success in your anew field of

Public Service.

Mr. J. Reginald Mccarville, of Charlottetown. has been appoint- ed manager of the Newfoundland Shipping service under the P. E. 1. Industrial Corporation, suc- cession to Mr. C. P. Reddall who resigned recently and left the Province for Victoria, BC. where he will take up residence.

Mr. Mccorville, who is the son of Mr. and Mrs. John Moonr- ville of this city. attended Queen Square School and St. D1.mstan'5 University, and was with the As- sociated Shlppers before entering the Navy in 1941. He served over- seas on convoy duty and on his discharge in 1945 he rejoined As- sociated Shippers. He was ap- pointed assistant manager with the Newfoundland shipping ser- vice in 1949.

Mr. Rcdall has been the man-

ager since the inception of the service in 1949. when the M.V. "Eskimo" was acquired by the

Crown company known as the P. E. I. Industrial Corporation. With a crew of fourteen, the "Eskimo" has been making a round trip every ten days this year with cap- scity cargoes. particularly of live- stock. and gives employment to 20- 40 steveclores when loading and unloading at Charlottetown.

Twas many years ago A Friendship true was kindled which has never lost. its glow. Through the war years and the peace years We have worked along together And our Friendship was made stronger Amidst fine and stormy weather. For we learned to under.-taiicl you As the years went passing by And the Friendship that was started For us will never die. "On behalf of the Employees of the City Corporation of Charlotte-I lown.”

To Test laiesl RCAF Instruments

OTIVAWA. Oct. 20 - (CP) - Latest navigational nistruments will be tested this week when an ll. C. A. F. aircraft carries them -and an unusually large number of observers-over the most diff- icult navigational area in the world

The plane. scheduled to leave nearby Rockcliffe Airport Oct. 25 or shortly after. will fly to Churchill. Man. and conduct most of its EJ(peI'l4X'l'lCTllall flights from that base on the fringe of the'Arctlc Circle to the north magnetic pole. almost 1.000 miles due north.

Just what navigational instru- ments will be aboard : is being kept secret. However, officials Ifrom the R. C. A. F.. the Mines and Technical Services Depart- ment, and the Dominion Observ- atory as well as representatives from instrument firms will be along on the show, which lasts 10 days or a fortnight.

A rarity on scientific flights. two women will be among the observers. One is 33-year-old Moira Dunbar of the Defence Research Board. t native of Edlnbufsh. Scotland. and a grad- uate of Olford. who has worked here since May. 1047. A geo- grspher. she had as a recent Job the editing of a textbook. "Arc. tic Air Navigation", by Sqdn. Ldr.

Special Meeting Of City Council

I .

dozens of fishing spots on the Is- land. some people contend that the heavy growth provided cover for trout. and this is doubtless true but when the weeds really "take ever". the fishing area becomes so re- strlcted. as to be negligible. There l- also to be taken into account the injurious effects of too much growth on the fish. One example is Long Pond. located back of Dal- vay in the National Park. It is noted for its large trout but by midsum- mer they are practically lifeless. and many of them have large heads. and very small bodies as though diseased. O 0 0

Mr. Ernest Smith. supervisor of the Park until a few years ago. explained to a group of fishermen at. Long Pond. one night. the rea- son for the sickly appearance of some of the trout there. Scientific tests made by Government scient- ists who came to the province from Ottawa. had shown that the fish were not getting enough oxygen. The heavy growth of vegetation in Long Pond was absorbing too much of this very necessary component of water. and because there was very little inflow of new water into the pond. the effect on the fish was disastrous."

Very few trout fishing spots in the Province suffer as seriously or to the extent as Long Pond. but practically all our ponds would benefit if excessive vegetation was reduced to reasonable bounds. Am- erican experts claim an improve- ment in fishing. and of course freedom from the annoyance caus- ed by claying and entsngling weeds.

A few months ago several local fisherman planned to take the problem before the Provincial Gov- ernment. and before the next fish- ing season some plan of action may be approved to combat the over- abundance of weeds in our fishing
