One of the secrets to success- ful fishing at this time of year is to keep moving in search of the lunkers. They‘re widely distri- buted now, and may be found am most any place along the shore and in varying depths. The most efficient method is to troll around the shoreline with your Mercury. You’ll find fish of all sizes ready and willing for your offerings, and by coveru ing plenty or water, you stand a good chance of connecting with some really big ones. Just forget the usual practice of taking at midday siesta and keep on fishing. Get plenty of sleep. and you won’t be too tired to set the hook when the sun's high in the sky. “But when you consider that 48 percent of this fig- ure is carried by com- mercial and industrial as- sessment you get an entire- ly different picture.

Mr. Honsberger noted the high school population in Toronto Township is going up 14 percent per year. “And in York we’ll be fac- ing a 10 to 14 percent inâ€" crease per year within 18 months. Our total operat- ing costs at the present time amount to $12,000,000 a year. In four years it “in reach $23,000.000. Our cap- ital costs in four years will reach $17,000,000. These are terrible figures but we must face them.” Toronto Township, he added, was faced with the almost immediate prospect of building 10 new schools. “And it must be remem- bered." he said. that we have to maintain at least a mini- mum standard of education or such will be imposed on us by the government and this could mean a loss of valued independence. By co- operating as municipalities we can do the impossible."
