WOLF KILLING
Many members of the public
have expressed concern over the
recent incidents in which wolves
have been killed in different
parts of Ontario, particularly the
case in which a wolf was killed
by two men using a snowmobile.
The Ontario Humane Society
receives many complaints of this
nature and we investigate all of
them thoroughly. If our
investigations show that
sufficient grounds exist fot a
criminal charge to be laid against
the persons responsible, then the
Society acts promptly to lay
these charges and to prosecute
the persons concerned in court.
In fact, a charge of this nature
was brought against a resident of
Thunder Bay, Ontario, only last
year, In that case, the man in
question, driving a, snowmobile,
chased a wolf for nearly an hour
and when the animal was
completely exhausted, killed it
by a number of blows with an
axe, A subsequent charge of
causing the animal unnecessary
suffering was dismissed in
Magistrates' Court, The
Magistrate who heard the ease
took the view that the
Government of Ontario
s authorizes, encourages and
rewards all citizens to kill wolvet
by any means. A criminal act
cannot be committed if the
person concerned acted with
to the interests of other
businesses, particularly small
business in Canada.
In point of fact, the two
companies in question, The T.
Eaton Co. Limited and The
Robert Simpson Company
Limited, are both members of
the Retail Council and fully
endorsed the submission to be
made by the Council to the
Parliamentary Committees
considering the White Paper. The
Council's submission dealt at
length with the effects of the
White Paper on small businesses, The editor: '
as well as with other aspects of
the proposed tax changes.
The companies concerned
were, I believe, quite happy to
be joined in a submission which
expressed the viewpoint of the
retail trade, large and small.
The text of our submission
will not be published prior to its
delivery to the Committees, but
immediately it is possible to do
so, I shall send you a copy for
reference purposes.

News-Record, "A boy is not
allowed to drive until he is 16.
He cannot vote until he is 18, 19
or 21. He cannot legally take a
drink until he is 21. He is
granted none of the advantages
of manhood." Is one of the
advantages of manhood the right
to murder? What age, Mr.
Editor, should we set for that?
What is meant by the
statement "Murder is not
enough?" We have many fine,
honorable young people in our
community of whom we are
proud. What are they to think of
a statement like that?
Leaving aside for a moment
(if we can) the horror and agony
suffered by the victim,. her
relatives and her many friends,
let us consider this boy and his
future. Is training school enough
to correct that within him which
surely needs correcting?
The public needs protection
from him, he needs protection
from himself, We have
institutions ,where trained
personnel, skilled in such cases
over a long period of years, will
know whether he can be helped
and if not they will know that
too. He cannot get this help in a
mere training school nor
adequate punishment for such a
crime.
What possible reason could
there be for "a ground swell of
sympathy" for the boy? Only
one — that Of mental instability
and I am not aware that any
attempt was made to prove or
disprove this,
I feel the decision of the court
in this case has done this boy a
great disseivice,

fhe Editor:
After attending the meeting in
Londesboro recently on the
proposed Conservation Project
in the Kinburn flats, I was
greatly surprised by the lack of
enthusiasm and remarks by
nature lovers.
1 don't like the thought of
anyone's home being forcibly
taken away from them, or
those that have spent a lot of
money and work improving
the compensated area allowed
by Drainage Referee
McKubbin of Chatham in his
report of 1935,
I feel that the owners of
the border land that don't
flood should have the
privilege to keep their
property if they Wish, and I
believe theta are a lot of high
land On Con, 7 below the
"color of right," or in other
words, if he or she had legal
justification for his or her
actions. The present Ontario
legislation, i.e., the Wolf Bounty
Act, which authorizes' and
rewards the killing of wolves,
provides that legal justification,
Every case has to be taken on its
own merits, but unless there are
some extra special
circumstances, the mere fact of
killing a wolf is insufficient
grounds to" justify a criminal
charge under, the Cruelty to
Animals Section of the Criminal
Code.
In our opinion, the present
legislation is too broad and
provides legal protection for
sadistic and brutal acts. We
appreciate that wolves are
predators and some form of
control program is necessary but
we do not agree that the
methods used to control wolves
should be unnecessarily cruel,
brutal or sadistic. For example,
we oppose the use of cruel
poisons such as strychnine and
the use of cruel, inhumane
leghold traps. The humane
methods of controlling wolves
are shooting and humane traps.
The Society has written to
the Minister of Lands and
Forests, the Hon. Rene Brunelle,
urging him to permit bounties to
be withheld from persons killing
wolves by inhumane or brutal
methods. We hope the members
of the general public will
support our suggestion and take
the opportunity to make their
views known to Mr. Brunelle.
In addition, the Minister of
Transport the Hon. Irwin
Hackett, has been asked to
require all snowmobiles to carry
two prominent licence plates,
One in the front and one in the
rear as a Means of identifying
snowmobiles which are used
improperly.

Hawes big hit at
St. Lawrence
Allen Howes, a native of
Clinton and a 1968 graduate of
Central Huron Secondary
School, recently completed his
first season with the St.
Lawrence University varsity
hockey team. The Larries
finished eighth among eastern
colleges in the States and
compiled an overall record of
11-15.
Howes, a sophomore
goaltender, had an excellent
rookie season with the varsity
after being called upon to fill in
for Jerry Healey, the Larries'
fine senior netminder, injured
early in the year. Howes made
175 saves in just under 12 games
of action.
During the season, the-Larries
captured second place in the
Ho I id ay Festival Hockey
Tournament at Madison Square
Garden in New, York, St.
Lawrence defeated highly
regarded Boston College in the
Garden and again later in the
year in Canton for their most
Impressive wins of the campaign.
Allen will be counted upon
next year to take over as SLU's
top goalie. He is the son of Mr.

RAVENSCOURT SCHOOL
St. John's-Ravenscourt
School in Fort Garry, one of the
oldest English-speaking schools
in Canada and by far the oldest
in the West, this year celebrates
its one hundred and fiftieth
anniversary. To our knowledge
none of its alumni is so ancient
but just: who is our oldest living
graduate we do not know.
Through your help we may, be
able to find him.
The school dates back to
1820 when the Rev. John West
of the Church Missionary
Society built a log house on the
banks of the Red River to
educate abandoned or orphaned
Indian boys. Three years later it
became a boarding school and
with the Indian youngsters were
mingled the sons of Selkirk ,
settlers and of Hudson's Bay
Company factors and traders
who wanted their sons educated
in the North West. Sir George
Simpson, Governor of the Bay,
was a staunch supporter.
Today, the school is
non-denominational and
international. It draws students
from many parts of Canada —
especially from the rugged north
and west — as well as from
places as far away as Singapore
and Brunei, Mexico, Biafra and
Iran.
In 1950, St. John's was
joined by Ravenkourt, an
Independent school founded by
Norman Young in 1929. The
present alumni of St. John's and
Ravenscourt are many and
scattered across Canada and the
U.S.A. Numbers have achieved
eminence. But who is, and where
lives, the oldest among the
businessmen and lawyers, the
farmers, doctors, ambassadors,
mining engineers, geologists,
bush pilots, teachers, salesmen,
hockey players, M.P.'S, editors,
academics, civil servants,
forestere, millionaires and
mendicants, we do not know.
A sixth Veterinary Services

The laboratory, located 25
Miles south of Clinton on the
campus of Centralia College of
Agricultural Technology, will
serve all or part of eight counties
in Southwestern Onterio,
"The counties of Oxford,
Middlesex, Perth, Huron,
Norfolk, Bruce, Lambton and
part of Waterloo produce a third
of the poultry, hogs and cattle
and half of the turkeys in
Ontario," says Dr. T. J. Pridham,
head of the new laboratory,
Dr. Pridham explains that the
laboratory will provide a
diagnostic and consultative
service for farmers and
veterinarians in the area.
Farmers may bring poultry
directly to the laboratory. Any
other domestic animals handled
by the laboratory will be

laboratory receives blood, urine
and whatever other samples are
necessary for analysis.
"The laboratory is set up to

weekend,
One of the main aims of this

The editor:
For some years it has been
the practice of CFB Clinton
personnel to host an annual
Christmas Party for children of
the Huron County Children's
Aid Society. For many of the
children the party has been the
high point of the Christmas
season. If the parties are to be
continued on an annual basis, a
new host must be found and a
source of funds must be
provided.
We at the Base would like to
contribute to the fund raising.
May we suggest that the highly
-successful Old Timers Hockey
game, played during the Clinton
Winter Carnival, be repeated
next month? If one of the
town's citizens will speak for a
town team, We at the Base will
provide a team and our arena.
We will pay for all of the basic
costs associated with the game
and, in turn, would suggest that
a nominal sum be charged for
admission. All proceeds from the
game would go to the Huron
County Children's Aid Society.
Any takers?
