The young animal is part deer and has only # small amount of hair along its jaws 'and at the- end of it’ tail. The rest of its body appeals as though, shaven. Mr. Dumigan has nursed the young-bull calf along having, as he put it, quite a time getting it to adjust itself to domestic con­ ditions., The eight-year.-old cow gave birth to the calf in the barnyard and nursing became a problem. The young animal is rather heavy set, with a narrow mouth, like a deer, teeth of a fawn and showings of a set ,of horns, or antlers, below the skip on the head. The skin is pink in color and soft as a baby’s.' The .tail is broad with hair at’ the very’ end'. 0 l « •f J» Rubber Stamps s: 2 GINGERICH'S/M, HEATING* ENGINEER.

Some of the farm’s flock are shown here on the large dugout pond. Mr. Desjardine and son, Russell, are on the bank. The farm has three different po nds and four enclosures to harbour wild­ life. , “T-A Photo Unique Grand Bend Develops Private Sanctuary —Continued from Page 1 The main one, ’dug at the same time the house was built, is 60x170 feet and surrounds a wooded island for wildlife cover. The other two ponds,are smaller and made of.cement. Ducks, geese and bantams live together in three of the enclosures and the Desjardine’s two deer 'live in .the fourth enclosure. The ' doe, named "Bambi”, takes a shine to Valerie, the Desjardine’s nine-year-old daugh­ ter. Since the family secured her as a fawn a year ago, Bambi’s been a spoiled pet of the fapiily. The other deer is a young buck but he’s not so friendly. The doll house, actually a miniature home built-for adver­ tising purposed by Kalbfleisch Planing Mills-, Zurich, is not only a centre of activity for the children but it .also provides permanent quarters for the, two St. Bernard dogs, Lucky and Laddie. The kids have the main part- of the house furnished in miniature and the1 dogs sleep in the double garage. Popular Dogs The shaggy, quiet. .St., Ber­ nards, • which the Desjardines maintain are ideal for children, are almost as big as the'family’s Shetland pony. Their pups have been.sold to buyers as far away as British “ri Desjardines have received orders for ___ *.‘ province in Canada. • • Scattered throughout the sanc­ tuary are a number of bird houses which attract wrens, jays. The Desjardines encourage martins, cardinals and blue barn swallows to .nest in their stables and have quite a. variety of pigeons including ". English trumpeters,. nuns and five dif­ ferent coloured fantails. Other, attractions .in the Des- jardines’ s a n et u a*r y include turtles • in the . ponds,. fish and snails ■ in the indoor aquarium and different kinds of bantams. Each’ of the children has his own variety of bantam and these include black and white rose- combes, buff partridge, wyan- i dottes, black cochins, and white rocks. They keep the family in eggs the year round. • Variety is the spice of # the Desjardines’ life and it isn’t limited to birds, and animals. Around the- house, the family has planted every, type of shrub available from nurseries and many different kinds of trees. The variety even extends to flowers. Everybody Pitches In ' Obviously, maintenance of the sanctuary and .grounds entails a great deal of work but because all the members enjoy their pro­ ject they all pitch in to help; .Each of the children has a par­ ticular job. to do. The Desjardines have' spent over $3,000 on their sanctuary and Ijiey feel every nickel of their investment has been worth­ while. ‘.‘Other families spend their money on entertainment, trips, pop and ice cream, and so on,” says Mr. Desjardine, “but we get all of our fun out of pur wildlife and we think it .lasts longer.” ■ : The Desjardines plan to , con­ tinue with the development of the sanctuary indefinitely byrim­ proving it a little each year. Both Mr .and Mrs. Desjardine were' raided by the lake and they’ve been fond of wildlife all their lives. They purchased their 75-acre farm 14 years ago from Curtiss Gratton. A, creek of the Exeter Council —Continued from Page 1 Pickard, was accepted. The re­ port indicated expenses and rev­ enues -were- running fairly close to the budget adopted- earlier in the year.

The town has. been attempting to collect overdue taxes for several years. Councillor Ralph Bailey, in charge of parks, said five new tables have been added to River­ view Park.

Councillor Ralph Bailey thought this point was significant. _____ __________ He suggested that if the opera-■ ever, that they could expect soft tors forced council to pass the 1 — ■■ bylaw then council should refuse to grant them any permits to percent of those operators who are willing to take part in the after-hours agreement. “That’s what the whole thing hinges upon,” said Pym. Bailey: They’re trying to close three guys up,” McKenzie: “Have we any right td give permits to gas stations outside of town?” He referred to the agreement whereby out-of- town operators^consented to abide by the bylaw and t.o open accord­ ing to the schedule. When council members . agreed they didn’t.have any jurisdiction over out-of-town stations,- McKen­ zie concluded the schedule would­ n’t work. But Clerk Pickard pointed out it would be possible to issue per­ mits to town stations only and the other operators could still open according to the agreement. Didn’t Know Situation MfcKcnzie said he didn’t think some of the operators who signed the petition knew what it was all about. “I talked to one gar­ ageman,” he said, ‘and he could­ n’t tell me why there was all this fuss,” The reeve suggested the town JMjlieitor be asked to draw up a bylaw that would cover all the points1 arid see how' many would sign it in front of witnesses. Mayor Pooley and Clerk Pick­ ard pointed out that the busi­ nesses which ate petitioning for the bylaw were influential in the town. They provided support for many families, represented eon- sidcrable assessment -and were leading citizens* The mayor said they deserved consideration. ..... .............. ..... .....
