DISCRIMINATION BY LAKE

ANN ARBOR, Mich. - (P) - A
Cornell University professor says
the waters of Lake Huron sweep
the Michigan shore clean and car
ry plant food to Canadian fish.
Associate Prof. John c. Ayers,
oceanographer at Cornell, gave the
results of the University of Mich
igan's Great Lakes Research In
stitute study which he headed. It
was the first comprehensive sur
vey of any of the Great Lakes.
Because of the water currents.
Ayers said, fish on the Canadian
side of Lake Huron are better fed
than those on the Michigan side.
