BIGGEST CATCH

OSLO. Norway. (CP) -The an- nual winter herring fisheries off west Norway have started to pick up after a poor beginning. Biggest catch even landed in a single day was recorded in Febru- ary when the sel yielded well over 03.000 tons of herring in 24 hours. .

all vendors who sold angling and hunting licenses in 1052. 4052 resi- dent angling and hunting licenses were sold last season. an inaease of 701 over 1051. m 1040 3552 resident licenses were sold and their sale has been increasing by hundreds every yesr. 1150 non- resident ang-lving license were sold last year an increase of 72 over 1051. Our non-resident hunting license salsa showed a sharp deo- line, lid compared with 147 in 1051. If the season on Hubs and pheasants opens this fall on Octo- ber lotih. as Provincial October 1st as formerly. a further falling off in the number of visit- ing non-resident hunters may re- sult.

To date only 320 resident I and anglers out of 4052 who pur- chased licenau have submitted Game Census returns. Out at this number 108 are classed as hunters or both hunters, and fishermen combined. -The balance are those who do not hunt. Included in this group are many feminine angler! although an amazing percentage of the so called weaker sex who purchase licensee both hunt and fish. Of the 4052 licensed anglers and hunters in the province ap- proximately 3500 are classed as hunters.

The 108 hunters who have sub- mitted game census retums have reported taking 1018 I-Iuns, 183 Ruf- fed Grouse. 1B3 pheasants, 76! rabbits, 311 geese. 2081 ducks. six woodcodk and 30 Wilson's snipe. The Grouse and pheasant take was the same, slightly under a bird of each species per hunter. with sections of the province heavily populated with pheasants. while Rurfed grouse are relatively scarce by comparlsion the annual kill on each is about even. The result was the same from returns in 1951. This proves beyond a doubt that the introduced Cock pheasant is better able to take care of him- self then our native grouse in respect to outwtltting hunters.

Woodcock and snipe do not figure prominently in the game picture in this province. Ducks are the game most. sought by hunters. at least the species that furnishes the most meat for the table, with an average of 10 plus per hunter. I-Iuns averaged slightly better than five per hunter and geese lit. Rab- bits are well up in hunter's favour with an average just short of four per. gunner.

The amount of game killed in this province when its dimimltive size is taken into consideration is simply staggering. The number of hunters forwarding game census returns is slightly under nine pe cent of the total who .. L d licenses in 1N2. This is scarcely sutficient for an accurate compila- tion taking this number on a per- centage basis the number of ducks bagged by the 3500 licensed hunters in the province last season totalled approximately thirty-iiive-thousarid and at least one th.ird man. an

approximately eleven-iihmisaud. were shot and lost, When the take of the estimated 7,000 hunters in the province who are not required to purchase a license is added to this total one wonders where all the ducks came from.

New flocks of wiidgeese are be- ginning 'io arrive from the South and are taking full advantage of the fine weather. one afternoon this week I watched the blue. sun dimpled waters of the Grand River (King's county) breaking on Mor- -risson's Beach and thought. like Rip Van Winkle, I had awakened from a long sleep and it was now the month of May. It's hard to tell when the first geese of the sessonlarrived as between 350 and 400 remained all winter in eastern Kings. one fleck held over 300 birds and kept moving between Rollo Bay and Fortune. They fed in the fields when conditions were favourable but also patronized the eel grass beds to a considerable extent.

Hungarian partridge and phea- sants have had a wonderful winter holiday . , . all since October with- out guns popping. I-Iuna are re- ported to be pairing onf and if this is true no protracted periods of inclement weatiher may be ex- pected before real spring carries in.

e e .

One ,factor that puzzles this columnist this winter is the number of rabbits shot in Queen's county. Rabbit huhtera had excellent sport in this area whereas in sections of King's County. east of Souris. rabbits were scarce , so scarce they were practically latent in some sections where they were usually found in abundance.

With the season on beaver closed the Department concerned. the Department of Industry and Natural Resources would appreci- ate returns from trapper-s showing how many were killed during the open season. This information will be useful in several ways and trappers are requested to co- opcrate and report the number taken;

TORONTO, (GP)-A battle be- tween amateur and professional hockey associations is shaping up over the Quebec Amateur Hockey Association's efforts to arrange a post-schedule playoff series with the Western Canada League.

"They can't do it," George Dud- lay, secretary-manager of the Canadian Amateur Hockey Asso- ciation. said Thursday night. The C.A.H.A. suspended the Q.A.H.A. last Saturday in a dispute over playing rights the Quebec group granted to junior Ron Attwell.

"The C.A.H.A. and the N.H.L. have agreements to recognize sus- pensions by each other." said Dud- ley. "The Western League is al- filiated with the NHL. Therefore it can't play with the suspended Quebec group."

Dudley said Clarence N.l-I.L. president, was last Saturday in telling

of the Q.A.l-LA. that he supported its stand in the case of Atwell, who is with Montreal Junior Can- adians. .

He said he had written to Camp- bell about the Quelbec Senior League's approach to the Western League about playoffs. .

"If I do not receive a satisfac- tory answer, I shall take the mat- ter to the N.H.L. governors."

The Quebec league was seeking the playoff for the chempio of its major series, barred by suspen- sion from participating in the Canadian final with the Maritime major champions. the only other classification of the kind in Can- ads.

Of the Quebec suspension. Dud- ley said: "There will be no com- promise. We've suspended them and that's that. what the future holds will be discussed at the next meeting of the C.A.H.A. Until then Quebec stays suspended."

After the Seminar proper which will centre around the theme "The Human Implica- tions of Development Planning". the group will separate into six smaller bodies whose duty it will be to travel to universities and communities in allocated parts of India and the neighboring states, and there mingle with as many as possible giving them an idea of Canadian and Western life. This is an important part of the Sem- inar, as students of Communist countries are doing this very thing to win the Indians to their favor, and it is the hope of the Direc- tors to check somewhat their in- fluence.
