MERNER'S MEAT MARKET PHONE 237-3314 DASHWOOD Sirs: I am writing in regard to the ..PiCture of the dead brush wolf pictured in your January 4 issue shot by an area farmer. I respectfully ask you to print my letter in good faith. The wolf is one of the most wronged animals in the entire fauna of North America. He has long been a figure of great ruthlessness, has been con- sidered a very destructive pest and has been hunted to near extinction in the States, where his range was once quite extensive. He now exists only in a few areas. However, we are concerned with Canada more than the States. In his book "Never Cry Wolf", Farley Mowat says the wolf plays an essential role in nature's balance by falling weak, aging, diseased and young herd animals such as caribou, deer, moose, etc., as well as rodents and other small mammals or basically the animals in the herd that would eventually die anyway, He does this by running down the herd and the weak animals fall back and are then cut out and killed. They generally hunt in packs, depending on the time of year. This keeps the species strong. He only kills what he needs and not for the sake of killing, like some human beings. There is a bounty in Canada on wolves of $25. I believe, plus what the pelt brings which is quite a come-on for many hunters and trappers. Mr. Mowat describes wolves as being very intelligent creatures; dog-like in habits; much like big dogs in appearance; much like big dog; only wild. Anyone interested in the real story on wolves told by a man who spent time watching their habits living right near their den where there were pups and who had a friendly relationship with these animals should read Mowat's book. Wolves do attack livestock but generally are content to stick with natural prey. There have been many reported attacks through the centuries by wolves on man. In all of North American only one of these was an authentic attack that was by a rabid wolf that attacked a train employee in N. Ontario and was killed. Actually wolves are very shy of man and keep as far as (1111110111111111111111111111)1111B811111111111111111111111111 PEE WEES 131' 'I' MacDonald. 137 5 5 1,1 K Lamont.. 172 0 0 3,11 M Perguson, 336 5 10 Al, 3) Turnbull, 157 0 5 ZG M Tuckey. 184 5 5 SR.

I for one feel that the bounty on wolves should be lifted before, as in the case of the States, they are hunted to near extinction. In fact their should be a complete ban on all hunting and trapping. Canada is one place where these animals still are fairly plentiful, par- ticularly in National Parks. However, if papers such as yours continue to advertise their wholesale slaughter on their front pages, their numbers will con- tinue to decline. The three kinds of wolves in Canada, Arctic, Timber and Brush (coyote) are essential in the fauna of this country and because they kill deer (which annoys deer hunters) and scatter livestock i; no reason why they should be hunted off the face of the continent along with the bison, passenger pigeon and the many other species that have gone down to modern man's relentless march to self- destructionon this earth. The wolf pictured was merely wandering around, apparently doing no damage. Why then was it shot? The hunting trapping and poisoning of these fine predators should cease. Yours sincerely Steve Mathers Salesmen must have licences The Exeter police department has received several complaints from citizens regarding door to door salesmen. If anyone is bothered by such persons they are asked to call the police department. Any door to door salesmen must have a licence to sell wares in the town of Exeter.

Intermentndcemeterwy.ili be in Grand Bo A Goderich doctor urged Monday night that snowmobiles be banned in the interests of the future physical and mental health of society. Dr. Mike Watts told the province's select committee during a hearing on all-terrain vehicles that in many cases snowmobilers exhibit anti-social behaviour which manifests itself in abusing the environment, other people's interest and private property. Attending from Exeter were Mayor Jack Delbridge, Coun- cillor Tom MacMillan and Con- stable George Robertson. The first stage in a series of province-wide Ontario Hydro- sponsored public speaking contests was held at Exeter public school Friday, and a grade seven student, Sandra McLeod, proved to be the top speaker of the day, She not only topped the grade VII and VIII division of the contest but was chosen as the top Canners — Continued from front page Mayor Jack Delbridge said the rate proposed was in relation to the charge for individual customers based on the volume of effluent disposed of by the local industry.

The Mayor said that at the conclusion of the meeting, Trevor Stevens, of Canadian Canners, said he was happy with the results of the meeting and noted council and the industry were both pulling in the same direc- tion.

The doctor charged that snowmobilers expose their children, being towed behind machines to more noise and atmospheric pollution and less exercise. He cited deafness, lead poisoning and cancer from inhalation of exhaust fumes as only some of the dangerous side effects of snowmobiling. Dr. Watts' presentation drew murmurs of protest from the audience. His brief was the only one calling for a complete ban on snowmobile use. The committee hasbeentouring Ontario since last July holding overall speaker of the day.

One committee member said more concern for the en- vironment was expressed at the Goderich hearing than at any other across the province to.date. One series of presentations made by a committee of Goderich high school students included a petition with 240 signatures calling for tighter legislation on snowmobiles. Recommendations included more effective mufflers, banning the machines between 11 p.m. and 8 a.m., banning them from public roads and controlling areas of use. The privincial committee will compile the briefs and study recommendations heard during its tour for presentation to the legislature. The committee seemed im- pressed by a series of com- prehensive briefs presented by snowmobile associations and enthusiasts from the area. In general, the briefs indicated there were problems with snowmobile safety equipment, licencing and in enforcing existing laws governing their use. OPP Constable Wayne Moulton of Goderich detachment, said existing legislation is adequate if problems of enforcement can be solved. A major problem, Constable Moulton said, is identifying a snowmobiler tresspassing on private property and then cat- ching him. Several snowmobilers said machines should be clearly marked with large serial num- bers to aid police. Other recommendations in- cluded, vastly improved lighting systems for snowmobiles; better braking systems; provincially hacked instruction courses for beginning operators; padded handlebars and rigid hitch assemblies for towing sleighs.

The driver of a car following him reported the in- cident to police. Orval Mellin, RR 2 Dashwood, was fined $50 for driving vehicles coupled together which measured over the legal distance of 65 feet. The court learned he was driving a tractor pulling five gravity boxes and the total length of the vehicles measured 90 feet. The accused stated he was not aware of the regulations and said that with the problem of getting off the crop in the past season, it required every effort possible. However, Judge Hays ex- plained the dangers involved from the standpoint of other vehicles wishing to pass him.
