Call Township Radical as it may seem, But- tonvlLle Women's Institute mem- bers agreed the most effective step in obtaining Victorian Order of Nurses' service for Markham Township was to have people call the township offices when needing a nurse. They made this decision when the speaker at their November meeting. Miss. M-add-aford of the VON told the group that while receives many calls to visit in Markham Township, they are unable to take these calls be- cause Markham Township Coun- cil has failed to take the nec- esary steps to make their pos- ition official. Miss Maddaford explained that early in 1962 she visited Markham Township Council and informed It of the VON‘s will- ingness to provide for an ex- tended serviee into the town- shi-p if council would assume some responsibility. Council agreed to consider the proposition but nothing came of the suggestion. If VON service was allowed, patients requiring care outside hospital would receive it at very little cost.

W. McCauley. a fisheries biologist with the Ontario De- .partment of Lands and Forests, itell them about investigations Icarricd out on the sea lamprey which has invaded the Upper Great Lakes. causing a serious ldecline in the lake trout popu- Jlation. The sea lamprey has been common from Niagara Falls eastward for many years, lbut in 1921 it was discovered in Lake Erie. in Lakes Huron and Michigan in 1936 and about the same time in Lake Superior. Following this discovery the lake catch in Lake Superior lion per year to under 100.000 resulting in many fishermen be- ing forced out of business. The lamprey is a very primi- tive animal as evidenced by fos- sil remains. It Is not a fish or an eel since it has no true bones, although it is similar to the latter in appearance. Dr, McCauley explained that it is essentially a marine animal, but for some reason the ones in our Great Lakes have become land- locked and spend their entire .life in fresh water. The adults ‘spawn in shallow mud bottom- ed streams. The 60,000 eggs are deposited on the mud where they hatch in about two weeks. The young. called larvae or am- mecetes hatch and burrow into ‘t-he mud where they remain for ‘three years feeding on plank- ton. They emerge after this time and swim to the deep wa- ters of' the lake where they be- come parasites feeding on fish. The adults die after spawning. The speaker told us that the lamprey is considered a delica- cy in some parts of Europe and also by a few people in this country, ‘but his remarks seem- ed to indicate that he did not alone fell from over three mil-l share this taste.

The animal attaches itself to its vicâ€" ‘tim by this specialized structure and the rasplikc tongue wears {away the skin of the victim and the lamprey feeds on the fluids .which flow from the wound. After {coding the lamprey dcâ€" tachcs itself from the lmxl which is left in a weakened condition and carries a scar for life. “The methods of control are mainly of three types," said Dr. McCauley..The first used was a system of traps or wells in which the animals were cap- tured and destroyed or were prevented from reaching their spawning grounds. The second was a series of electrodes which gave the animal a shock when- ever it entered the field. This also prevented the animal reaching the spawning grounds.
