Premier John P. Robarts, says â€" “Fish and fisheries constitute a valu- able part of Ontario‘s natural resources. Their importance lies not alone in their commerâ€" cial value. but in the contribu- tion they make to recreation. Although their recreational value is difficult to estimate in monetary terms, it is necessary that their importance in this connection be not underestim- ated.

Colorado, in September, 1960. he was given an honor- ary membership in the society. This award is the highest honor the society bestows on its mem- ber, and is valued the more be- cause in the 90 years of the society's growth.

He has the distinction of having been the first biologist appointed to either department. His long ex- perience as biologist, director of fish culture, and more re- cently as supervisor of fisher- ies. and his scholastic attain- ments at the University of To- ronto. make him especially well equipped and qualified to bring to public attention important and interesting information on1 the fishes of Ontario. ‘ and vthe aquatic inhabitants have been determined, as Dr. MacKay explains, by the forces of geology and ecology in such a way that an unparalleled amount of fishing pleasure has been assured for novice and exâ€" pert anglers alike.
