By JOY SCHEIFELE Animal Control Officer for East Williams and Lobo townships, Niven Clark, was summoned early Tuesday morning to the neighbouring Rose farm when the Rose's son was frightened by The Ailsa Craig Business Association met Thursday, February 17, for its monthly meeting at Craigholme Nursing Home, Although the guest speaker, Mr. Walter Cook, president of the New Hamburg Board of Trade was unable to attend due to illness, the evening was filled with discussion of other details of business. Three representatives of the Business Association were asked to serve on the Gala Days Committee which is planned jointly with the Lions Club. Gordon Sutherland, Ron Edwards and Jim Pitcher con- sented to work on the committee. The urgency of sewers for Ailsa Craig was raised again as a member indicated that the necessary expansion to his plant would leave little room for sewage disposal. The future of the firm in the bommunity is dependent on resolving this issue. The Association passed a motion to officially urge the village council to move as quickly as possible. Concerns were ex- pressed that the village council should be more responsive ac- tively to the needs of new or expanding business enterprises. CHOOSE SLATE About 10 4-H girls gathered at the home of Mrs. W. Chamberlain in Ailsa Craig Tuesday, February 15, to begin a course, "Consider Your Clothes". The group executive was elected which included President, Carol McCallum, vice- president, Milinda Harmer, rotating secretaries Cathy Chamberlain and Sandra Heaman and press reporter Wanda Litwiller. The girls will meet Tuesday evenings under the leadership of Mrs. R. McFadden assisted by Mrs. W.' Chamberlain. Members were asked to bring suggestions for a name for the club to their next meeting. strange animal. The young Rose was about to begin the morning chores when the animal, which he mistook for a stray dog, growled at him and prevented him from entering the barn. The boy jumped into the cab of the tractor fearing the animal might attack. A report was given on the present status of the recreation centre and of the liquor vote which will likely be held this spring. No action was taken on either. It was decided that representatives of the Associations should attend a Community Economic Development Conference in Chatham February 21, Two members agreed to attend. The Business Association presently has 20 paid up mem- bers out of a potential 36. A continuing effort is being made for more members. An attempt will be made to have a representative from the Workmen's Compensation Board at their next meeting scheduled for March 17, Niven Clark was immediately called to the scene and shot the wolf in the head with a 22 rifle. "I believe the wolf was the scout of the pack," said Mr. Clark. "It appears that he was out searching for a food supply for the pack." The wolf, although a good size, appeared very skinny. The Roses had a couple of pigs which recently died, but hadn't been disposed of, and it was suspected that the wolf was attempting to secure the dead animals for food, "There are an increasing number of wolves in the area", reported Mr. Clark. "But because of their close resemblance to the dog, they often go unnoticed. More seem to be moving down from the north for food and possibly due to colder winters." The wolf can best be detected by the longer hair on the back of his neck and shorter tail than a dog's. Also to an experienced eye, one would notice a difference in wolf's gait. "The wolf probably accounts for the decline in the number of deer which used to inhabit the area", explained Mr. Clark. Although the province removed the bounty off wolves a number of years ago, the county pays $25 for each wolf killed within the boundaries. In addition, there is a market for the pelts of these animals which makes the hunting to them a lucrative sport.
