ANNUAL REPORT, 1941-42 25 



Work on the insect population of streams as food supply for speckled trout was 

 continued on a reduced scale as also was the study of the food of the lake trout and 

 the factors responsible for the movement of the game fish at different seasons of the 

 year." 



ACKNOWLEDGMENTS 



I cannot close this report without expressing my appreciation of the valuable 

 co-operation which was provided throughout the year by the Ontario Federation of 

 Anglers and Hunters, and the many local Game and Fish Protective Associations which 

 comprise the Federation and by the Northern Ontario Tourist Trade Association. The 

 organized efforts of these Federations to develop the spirit of conservation has been 

 of inestimable assistance and has resulted in many pleasant and desirable connections. 

 Favourable mention might also be made of the genuine assistance and co-operation 

 which has at all times been provided by the Township Councils or the Controlling 

 Organizations in the Regulated Game Preserves. The success which this scheme has 

 attained would probably not have resulted without such co-operation. 



My concluding comments concern the work of the staff. Members of the Depart- 

 mental service, both at Toronto and throughout the Province, have been quite con- 

 scientious in the performance of their duties, and generally courteous in their contacts 

 with the public in their efforts to secure the best results. 



All of which is respectfully submitted. 



I am. Sir, 



Your obedient servant, 



D. J. TAYLOR, 



Deputy Minister of Game and Fisheries.
