No Swimming Spot So He Builds Lake KENTVIT.T.E, N.S., 0 If you need a lake build one, is the idea of planner M. A. Condon who Is receiving support from the local Board of Trade. And Mr. Condon is no piker either. His lake rf it is liuilt, that is will be three miles long and from one-half to one mile wide. If present plan: go as cxpacted work on flooding a large area of meadowland along the Corn-wallis River soon will get under way. Mr. Condon has already received the support cf local civic groups find landowners alons the river have agreed to sell their land. The main, idea i.s to build a dam at a site which will at the same time provide a roadway frcm town to what Mr. Condon believes can be developed into a profitable business location. But that's just a sideline. The lake Itself is to give the town badly-needed swimming and boating facilities.

FIRE RUINS ARE INTEREST CENTRE Throughout Friday, few neglected to visit the scene of the McBridc Street fire If they could find time during hours. That corner of ruins was a stellar attraction and there was considerable probing and digging amid the ruins. Many, to judge Jrom conversation, apparently thflushA the escape cf the Civic Centra was the most irrtorestlhs part of the whole affair. ' But the burning cf the Centre, which arouses the envy of far larger cities, it was agreed, wquld have Indeed, been disastrous.

So far, there have been 50 hali but licenses issued in prcpara tlon for the May 1 opening Last year at the same date, there had been 47 licenses Issued. On Wednesday there were 10 trolling and eight halibut licenses issued but this is mild to what will take place within tiie next weelc. Fisheries office work-1 ers expect to be busy making out from 15 to 20 licenses a day from now until the end of the month. April 29 and 30 will be the heaviest days as the fishermen make a last-minute rush Just before leaving port. The Ketchikan fish packer 'Sydney arrived In port from the north Wednesday carrying one carload of frozen fish for trans- J shipment over Canadian Nation- al Railways to the eastern United States. , A number of former Prlnen , Rupert halibut fishermen who moved to Vancouver during th? i early part of the war are re turning to take up residence here.
