Embarrassing encounters'be- tWeen urbanites and wildlife are on the increase, according to the department of lands and forests Lake Simcoe District biologist, Allan Waldo. The other day a lady phoned the district office at Maple and insisted that someone come to her cottage irpmediately and remove a groundhog. it was in- side the house upsetting flower pots, climbing over chairs and tables, peering into.glass cab- inets, and poking into closets. This did not sound like a ground- hog. When the conservation of- ficer questioned her further and obtained a description of the animal, "with a black mask and furry, ringed tail,," it was obviously a raccoon. She had closed the doors when she discovered the creature inside, and the poor 'coon was probably just searching for an exit, The lands and forests of- ficer told the lady to let the animal out, and in future to. lock all doors and block any possible entrances whenever she left the house. She was reassured but nevertheless sounded rather disappointed that no one was coming out to help her. All she had to do was open the doors! During one summer in the Metro Toronto suburb of Don Mills a pair of raccoons clam- meted about in the empty swim- ming pool, on the back porch cadent;ill R klig.M.0404274. , $100 000 25 year decreasing Term Life insurinc."

She went out with a broom to scare thet-..away but the large, ar- 'moured creatures stretched their necks up to her, hissed and opened wide their large, sharply- beaked mouths. Terrified, she raced b4ack ro the house locking the door behind her. When she finally located the department's number she was still unnerved. The lands and forests man pacified her by say- ing that once the eggs were laid the turtles would return to the river. He warned her they would be back next spring. Unable to even curb his anger and frustration over the phone a man shouted that a porcupine was eating his car in his own driveway. This occurred in the fall near Toronto and there was probably some salt under the car. That is what the porcupine was after. The man had been sitting in his car when he first heard a steady, scraping noise by its side. He poked his head out the window and there was the porcu- pine gnawing away at the back fender: • Use Expositor We Reserve Want - Ads The Right'To Limit Quantities - Phone 527-0240 1.• Age 25 — $1.57.00 Age 30 7:- WOO Age 35 — $300,00 Age 40 W713,00 Should husband and father whole chief "estate" is his job, pay a high premium for a little pm tection — or a loW premium for a lot of pro- tection? • `Be Protection Rich — Not Insurance Poor" PERSONALIZED Pick • Up Anytime Before March 28, 1970 4 COASTERS '-- GIFT IDEAS " SERVIETTES THE HURON EXPOSITOR Phone 527-0240 • Seaforth THIS IS THE TIME TO BOOK FERTILIZER REQUIREMENTS FOR FALL PASTURE APPLICATION Ask us for prices BOOK YOUR WINTER'S SUPPI,.Y OF .
