64 DEPARTMENT OF GAME AND FISHERIES No. 9 



The condition of the lakes' fisheries and methods of control and improve- 

 ment were discussed. One of the important results of the meeting was the 

 formation of a small advisory committee to go into the various contentious 

 points pertaining to uniform regulations on the various lakes. In this way a 

 better understanding of the requirements and meaning of uniform regulations 

 will result and more definite progress will be made. 



EDUCATIONAL PROPAGANDA 



During the year two pamphlets on the maskinonge and bass and their 

 conservation were published by the Department. These pamphlets, which 

 were prepared at the request of the Ontario Federation of Anglers, have had a 

 wide circulation and have been favourably and appreciatively received. 



During the year, also, officials of the Branch have been actively engaged 

 in placing before game and fish societies and other organizations the fish cultural 

 work carried on by the Department, the interpretation of the regulations, and 

 the advantages of conservation. At the present time there prevails, probably 

 more than ever before, a deep sense of the need of conservation and a more 

 heartfelt conception of the elements which constitute true sportsmanship. The 

 desire to destroy wild life is being slowly but surely replaced by a greater desire 

 to enjoy its beauties and manifold charms from the naturalist's point of view.
