way. Mr. lonal laateummsr as a five-yepn right off the farm. from "Willie Dan" Ilacxenaie of Flat River. Until last Thursday the home had never seen a race track Throughout the 1058 season he was trained on the trot and was given a start late in the year. As a hunt- ter he did not look any too good. and in the autumn he went into winter quarters at "Jack" Annear's stable in Montague. There. Alf Lowery. well-known trainer and driver. took him in hand and turn- ed him over to the pace. He did not take to the hopplea quickly, but when he got the idea. improv- ed rapidly.

Today he is a very good prospect although he was far from a high- priced horse when purchased. Alf- red Lowery did a commendable job turning him over to the new gait and conditioning him. Unfor- tunately the Summerside classl- fiers put Colonel Budlong and stablemate. Real Joe. in the same race on Dominion Day. All Low- ery drove Real Joe on race day and had to find a new driver. "Leo" Collins, for Mr. MacKln- non's horse. Considering that Mr Collins had never had 9. rein over Colonel Budlong before. the horse did very well in taking third in the first heat. and fifth in the second heat. with Lowery. his trainer, behind him. there is a likelihood that he can do even better. K

Mr. Macliinnon has some rea- son to be pleased that this inex- pensive Island-bred horse has come along so well.

Two years ago "Tom" Fraser. one of the best known lobster pack- ers in Kings County. and a keen ti-out fisherman. discovered that see. trout were quite plentiful at places near Murray Harbour. hith- erto scarcely ever fished. Experi- menting off various beaches and points which jut into Murray Har- bour. Mr. Fraser proved that good sea trout were running there prac- tically all summer. At present a number of Murray I-larbour men. are enjoying excellent fly fishing whenever the tide is suitable No very large catches have been made e four to six trout in a oouplc of hours - but the fish weigh up well.

The general run average from a half to three quarters of a pound with plenty going over the pound mark. Among those who follow the tides closely are the aforemen- tioned T. if. Fraser; Lorne Ste- wart, the Imperial Oil agent in Murray Harbour: Captain Percy White. and Hubert White. Until the lobster fishing closed Mr. Pra- ser could not spare the time to cast a fly but he and the others mentioned are picking up some real sea trout these July days. and get- ting needed relaxation at the same

time. o

Your columnist had a glance at the North River Causeway plans yesterday. but the carefully ex- ecuted blueprints conveyed little to his untrained eye. The Provin- cial Government engineers who were present however. expressed in non-engincerlrn terms the gon- eral idea. ,

Boiled down to its essentials. the Causeway will provide a wide highway across the North River. and at the same time create an in- land lake of considerable extent. A 20-foot wide spill-way, low en- ough to permit sea trout to ascend to the waters of the artiflcallv made lake will be installed.

some doleful folk are predicting the lake will be a stagnant moss- covered backwater. and that the trout fishing will be spoiled. They back these predictions in the be- lief that the amount of water flowing into the lake-that is fresh water-will be insufficient to' keep the lake fresh and wholesome. On the other hand engineering authorities think otherwise. and are of the opinion that the lake will be a beauty apot. which will give trout fisherman dozens of new advantageous locations from which to angle for the big ones. Let us hope - and there is not reason to think oontrawise. that the official view is the correct one.

At any rate. the new highway over the river will be a wonder- ful improvemcnt over the 4'4 year old bridge. which has stymied traf- fic ever since automobile movement became the chief means of trans- portation in this Province.

Opens Debate On Civil Defence

IONDON. (Reuters)-Home sec-

retary sir David Maxwell Fyfc said Monday that an atomic attack on this crowded country would "constitute I. tragedy without any previous parrallel in history." Opening a debate on civil de- fence in the House of Commons. he said: "It would be foolish to attempt the impossible task of providing immunity. But much can be done to mitigate the consequen- ces. and it is the duty of everyone to do the best they can." He said training of reservists for service with mobile civil de- fence columns will begin next year and that a conunandcr-in-chief will be appointed for the mobile forces.

In an obvious reference to the city of Coventry. whose specialist council has scrapped civil defence plans as being futile against the I-I-bomb. Pyle said:

"Doubt has been expressed about the value of retaining s.nd,.bulld- ing up local services.

"I have made it plain that the civil defence services are more than ever needed in the light of the new threats. The government intends to press on with recruit- merit."
