Protests Net Fishing Royal City Nimrod Finds Support For Stand Here William Gifford, New Westminster angler who reports that large commercial catches of steelhead trout in the Fraser river are playing havoc with the sports fishermen in the various streams, will have plenty of support from local fishermen, according to prominent local anglers. Mr. Gifford urges action by Ottawa to protect this fine sporting fish before it is too late.

It is reported that about two and one half tons of steelhead were netted in the Fraser river while at the same time hundreds of rod arid line anglers were having poor luck in the Vedder, Coquitlam and Al ouette rivers. "The federal department of fisheries will have to decide whether steelhead is a sporting fish or to be caught for commercial purposes," Gifford said. "It cannot continue to be both. "If the government decides its sporting qualities are of great value to the province from a tourist point of view and through the sale of fishing tackle, then It should receive the same protection as other trout species. "On the other hand, if it Is to be considered a commercial fish, the law limiting the dally catch by rod and line to three fish is simply a joke, especially when there is no limit to the number allowed to be caught in nets.

"This is the only part of the Empire that I know of where trout are legally caught for commercial purposes," Gifford added. New Permits For U.S. Visits Visits to the United States under the new border crossing permits substituted for the previous "social visit permits" will be limited to 48 hours, officials of the foreign exchange control board explained this week. The permits can be issued by customs officers or banks and allow the holder to take in Canadian funds with him to cover incidentals involved in the visit but do not permit the removal of United States currency from Canada. They can be issued to any resident of Canada Instead of, as previously, only to border residents.

THE CHILLIWACK PROGRESS Page Nine Valley's Warble Fly Control Plan Cited As Example of Successful Farm Cooperation Chairman' Harold German of Trade Board Bureau Reports Year of Productive Effort Reporting for the agricultural 8 bureau, which continues to be the most active bureau of the Board of Trade, Harold W. German, chair man, reported on the activities of the committee to the recent annual meeting in part as follows: "Our bureau again organized a warble fly control campaign in the Chilliwack valley with marked success. We divided the district into 15 sections, and appointed an equal number of captains. These men with the aid of volunteers treated all the cattle in the district. Records were kept of the number of animals treated, under the respective heading of bulls, cows and heifers.

We were accorded full cooperation from owners. According to a report presented to the agricultural committee of the Legislature at Victoria, Chllliwack's warble fly control plan was instanced as an example of what may be accomplished when farmers cooperate fully. "Records show that cattle treated numbered 10,824, made up of 438 bulls, 7712 cows and 2674 heifers. Warbles collected approximated 16,043. "In addition to the cattle listed the committee made it a point to treat all cattle passing through the auction barn for a period of six weeks the warble grub season.

"The financial loss in Canada yearly caused by warble grubs in hides, according to government reports, is a million dollars. The principal loss in this area Is In reduced milk supply, which at a conservative estimate of 50 cents per milch cow, would be $3856 a year. "I would like to take this opportunity, on behalf of the agricultural bureau, to thank the provincial minister of agriculture, Hon. K. C.

MacDonald, for making it possible to carry out the campaign, and to Bob Sutton, our late district agriculturist, for his valuable assistance. "Early in the year the bureau sponsored a movement to increase swine production, as a more or less patriotic gesture. With the fall of several countries which had been supplying the Old Country market with pork and bacon, it was thought we in Canada should endeavor to supply that market. I am glad to say we were able to do so. "It was unfortunate, however, that the price was so low, so far as our Fraser Valley farmers were concerned.

The high price of feed coupled with the low price of pork discouraged many of the would be swine breeders and they have gone out of the business. From market Indications it would appear that those who kept their breeding stock may yet receive a better price. "Our bureau, along with the retail merchants bureau, wired the Wartime Price Control board and the federal minister of agriculture protesting against the fixing of a maximum price on butter, and urged that a minimum price should accompany any pegging of the upward rise. "Many times during the year we have taken up the matter of freight rates on feed grain, but up to this date nothing definite has been accomplished." Teams Start Finals Playoffs Get Underway This Week Down Valley Basketball fans of this district will have an opportunity to see some portion of the playoffs in every division in which local teams are represented. This was revealed in a schedule of playoff games for all divisions issued by the Lower Mainland Amateur Basketball association this week.

Valleys, top ranking team of the district, will start over the playoff trail February 26 here against the winner of the Greater Vancouver Athletic association league winner. It'll be a sudden death affair, and if Valleys win It they'll go against another Vancouver team for the right to meet Powell River at Powell River. Harvey Weeks' Unquestlonables meet a fast stepping Matsqul Inter A squad for the right to represent the Fraser Valley in the playoffs at Matsqui Friday night. If Un questionables manage to take it they'll play the G. V.

A. A. winner here. Charlie Evans' Sardis Buddies, district Inter representatives along with High school, meet Matsqui Friday night to see who will represent the Fraser Valley Feb ruary 28 against the Community league in Vancouver. The game will be played here.
