Few hunters have even a vague idea of what constitutes fair game, especially birds, in the opinion of Conservation Officer G. C. Matthews, Guelph, of the Ontario Department of Lands and Forests. Too often shot down, he says, are birds such as the Arctic owl or big hawk-birds which help keep down the rodent popula­ tions: mice ruin fruit and other trees. "One farmer recently told me about hunters shooting at a small wood­ pecker in his woodlot. It managed to escape only because rifles were being used instead of shotguns,” said Mr. Matthews. "At this time of year when birds, rabbits and other types of game have difficulty in staying alive, they should be protected rather than shot at by trigger-happy persons who call themselves sportsmen.” 0 - 0 - 0 c At historic French Lake on the northeast side of Quetico Provincial Park, 90 acres of forests are being developed into what will be known as the French Lake Camp-site, accord­ ing to an announcement by W.
