In my discussion.. on birds for

a 'predator and .its prey. That, is,

is the wolf's prey. We, are, just:.
• beginning to understand many,
of the relations that exist be
tween predator and• prey. but its .
has been suggested,: that to., have •
a healthy' stock of any animal it
is necessary to have to predator

We have a fairly ,good, stogie
of deer in•'many, areas of Ontario.
In some. places they 'night .be said •
toa abundant.• Like every other
creature on earth' they are sub='
ject to disease, accidents and old•
age: One •:of • the ways among
human .kind to centre' disease is
to isolate the 'sufferer's. This can,.
not be done' in_ t ••e -wilds ee riot e

wolf, to keep, the herd healthy.

Thele is a siiniliar situation in

Of course, we do not' want mice

NAZI' SPRING OFFENSIVE
IS DEVELOPING RAPIDLY
Aetivity stepped' up sharply on.
all fronts. last week in thewar
between • Britain hnd : Germany.
••T.he long-awaited Nazi 'spring of-
fensive appeared to be under
way,:' spurred • 'by • fast approach-
ing spring weather, and the pas-

were being made for. counterof-

Balkan Front
The air war over Britain ' was
resumed; its intensity in. many
instances equalling the frightful
days of last September when
casualties -were- highest: The --war-
on the sea grew steadily more
serious , (Britain . lost' 148,0.33
tons of 'shipping the last' week in
February). But the biggest 'de-
'velopments, • from the military
point of . view, were shaping; up
in' 'the Balkan peninsula where
they chiefbelligerents were align-
ing their forces in : readiness for
the battle of the eastern' Mediter-:
ranean.
Yugoslavia and Turkey had
not yet joined fight: Yugo-
slavia's problem was far from
easy, since she was all but sur-
rotinded by•,Axis forces. A' di-
rect challenge ' to, ; Hitler...could
mean her quick 'extermination • as

considerable degree on what sup-
