Rev.

The Authority and the Department have now produced a co-operative management plan that will improve the recreational facilities available. In this plan, the interest of non-consumptive wildlife users (observers) is considered just as important as the interest of consumptive users (hunters). To date, much ' of the development work has been directed at improving wildlife habitat through management of the vegetation of the Marsh. During this winter, however, more emphasis is being placed on development work that will be of interest to non-consump- tive users such as bird-watchers, naturalists, etc. As a result of. the Ontario Seasonal Employment Program (OSEP), people who would otherwise be unemployed have been hired to construct bird houses, nesting platforms, feeding boxes, etc. These will be erected at the Luther Marsh Wildlife Management Area and also at several other marsh and forest areas managed by the Department -in the Lake Huron District. In addition, the staff of the Lake Huron District is now preparing a provisional listing of the flora and fauna of the' Luther Marsh. Much of the data for this check-list will be compiled by the staff of the Grand River Conservation Authority and the Department of Lands and Forests. into a check-list which will serve as a record and guide to scientists and naturalists on the flora and fauna of this important area. Requests for information are also being made of local naturalists groups who have been active in this field. Both agencies would greatly appreciate any information of unusual sightings, nestings, or occurrences in the Luther Wildlife Management Area as recorded over the years. In the compilation of the check-list, credit' will be given to the contributor. During this coming summer, field trips to the Luther Marsh Wildlife Management Area will be conducted by professional biologists and foresters. It is hoped that information of value for the provisional check-list can also be gathered on such field trips. mailer of principle iNEMIMMINSMONOMIN BY J. CARL HEMINGVVAY Hurrah', The strike of railway engineers is ended and isn't the government wonderful! The government Arbitration Board, of course, with the help of the Minister of babour,• has registered another victory in averting a national catastrophe. Naturally the engineers will receive an, increase to their $10,000 salaries. This is a highly skilled job! An engineer on the railway has to work the brake, the throttle and the whistle, while the train i$ safely guided down the "right-ofway" by heavy steel rails. Their job is much more difficult and important than those who manufacture our shirts and pants at the minimum wage of $1.75 per hour or the farmer who provides our pork at USW per pig to pay for labour, capital investment in buildings, lights, bedding and water (at 50 cents per hour'?) I wonder how the government calculates value of labour? Some more questions, How was it that no agreement could he reached in the almost a year that has passed since the engineers' contract expired? Why was it that the engineers had to go on strike, even in part, to get action? Why was it possible to reach an agreement in 10 day's negotiations when a general strike was imminent? ", Could there be no agreement between labour corporation and government unless there is violence or threat of violence? The same was true in the case of the farmers' negotiations with out-provincial government in the matter of education taxation on property. For 20 years or more farmers have been protesting, but it was only by the threat of the with-holding of taxes, that could have' easily led to violence, that action was taken. Are our governments so firmly entrenched in the past that they can only be moved by the busting of heads and destruction of property? Surely we are being educated to physical violence, After hundreds of years of education and civilization there must be a better way. What about the cost? According to news reports, it is very doubtful, if not:Impossible, for Canada to fulfill the present commitments for wheat shipments. Since wheat sales are a very important part of our balance-of-trade, this is serious, to say nothing of the hardship imposed on western producers, through no fault of their own. It costs $3,000 a day to have a freighter tied up waiting to be loaded. My last information was that there were nine ships tied up in Vancouver waiting for loading because wheat was not available. Even if trains start moving immediately, most of these ships will have to wait a total of 10 days each. What about the loss to livestock producers because they couldn't market their products? If hogs are kept an extra week it can lose the producer money because they become too heavy and return a lower price. Many labourers were laid off for at least a few days, which means difficulties. It all seems so silly! The news on the radio just interrupted my writing. Apparently the strike isn't settled completely. How much more is this foolishness going to cost the innocent by-slanders? And what is the remedy to small groups disrupting our economy? Perhaps we farmers have the answer. Let's get to-gether and form a union strong enough to stop the shipment of all farm food products to market. When a strike such as this comes along, or a dock-worker's strike, or a hydro strike, or a doctor's strike — You name it — food would stop going to market. No work — no eat. Frightening isn't it? I wonder if we farmers would become intoxicated by our power, as so many groups seem to be? Would we soon become so greedy that we would be exploiting others just as severely as we are being exploited? I wonder?
