BY DAN KENNALEY "Sign" is a backwoods word that denotes animal tracks and other physical indicators of an animal's endstence. Reading sign is a ebidianging, but rewarding attivity that can make you more aware ofthe inhabitants of forest and field. Rabbit tracks will likely be the most common sign you will find. Rabbit tracks , are characterized by the large back prints and smaller front prints. Remember that, be- calm a rabbit's back legs landfirst when it runs, the lafger prints point to the direction the rabbit was tra- velling. Another sign of rab- bit to look for in the winter is bark chewed from the surface of low hanging havvthorne branches. Squirrel tracks can some- tiesesbettinfused with rabbit Backe, especially if the tracks airs old and have decayed semonsket after exposure to einalight. One way of telling the difference is to look 'doe* for clue marks. If you fled them the tracks are PlutmblYs4aftrel. Pox tracks are also fairly eCatheikOn and relatively dig. tinctive. The print resembles that of a cat but their placement. in an almost straight line. one print neatly placed in front of the last. is the most dependable clue. Coyote or bush wolf tracks are much larger than those of the fox and tend to resemble dog tracks. Since the coyote takes a much longer stride as it travels the prints will be further aparLthan those of the fox. it is not surprising that it is sometimes difficult to dis- tinguish between dog and coyote tracks ,since there has been- considerable inter- breeding between these AWO species. Tricks belonging to white- tailed deer are another ani- mal sign that shouldn't be too difficult to find. Deer tracks are distinguished by It was a busy evening for the Little Inn.

An interesting project in Blyth was a proposal to convert the old railway sta- tion, phich had been moved to a site adjacent to the new Old Mill. into a restaurant. As a result of the influx of people into Blyth, problems were being encountered with re- gard to parking. and Council had proposed the removal of the block which included the former premises of the Bank of Commerce. It was felt that the . loss of these' buildings was undesirable, and the outcome of the deliberations Of the Council meeting to be held on 14th December was awaited. Reference was also made to the thirty year road plan which might have some significance for Berimiller, and to 'a proposal to make the existing iron bridge ob- solete. However, it was hoped that plans could be devised for this structure to be preserved. Mrs. Dorothy Wallace re- ported on her attendance at the 'Heritage Conference in Halifax. where she had been impressed by the able chair- manship of Pierre Burton. She also mentioned 1.014- burg where an ambitious restoration program had been undertaken resulting in a foctfs of tourist interest every summer. The members Olen ad- journed, and when Ow rect.- ing resumed the re-surfAckhg of the "Malta". sunk in gale in the 1800's, was discussed., Mrs. Ethel Poth provided further history of the ship. which she said, had at one time, :been used an a bath house, but had subsequently become covered over once again. The evening con- eluded with a slide presenta- tion accompanied by a com- mentary provided by Mr, Don Pullen, the County Agricul- tural representative. Entitled "Our Heritage" the slides portrayed the, changes in farming methods from the days of the earlier settlers to the mechanized procedures employed today. Mr. Pullen said that this wonderful and unique agricultural area had seen its feeding potential increase from the time when one farm could provide for fifteen people. to. the present day. when the figure was more like eighty people. Modern methods of animal husbandry were illustrated. _showing the sanitary and scientific procedurei which had been introduced to im- prove breeding and product- ion. Interspersed with the purely agricultural pictures were a number of slides of original farm houses and barns which had survived the years and were already es- tablished as part of the County Heritage. Thanking the speaker. Mr. Hill, emphasized the' impor- tance of Mr. Pullen's work, and the fact thailtpart from the technical aspects, it was carried out by a man who really cared for the land. c.•• the eiyo lobes of their prints. The Ibbes are splayed with the narrower portion of the print pointing to the direction the deer was travelling. The distance between each print gives some indication of the size of the deer. Looking at four prints and visualizing four legs standing in those tracks and a body above those legs can help you to perceive how large your deer is. However. and this is true of all tracks, the distance be- tween prints is partly depen- dent on whether an animal was running or walking. When running the tracks will be spaced much further apart. Another interesting sign you should keep an eye open for is the wing marks of a ruffed grouse. These marks will appear as a series of ripples or small waves in the snow caused by first wing beats of the grouse as it leaps into the air. The ability to read animal sign will enhance your travel in the winter woods as you will be more aware of the daily drama that unfolds beneath the tree tong CHILDREN'S DRAW - The children inb Miss Mary Baker-s grade 3 and 4 class at-St. James' - School in Seaforth raised $185.50, by selling Bermuda sunny topic for McKillop ••• • -7 ,40 rrr
