KEEP IT UP — Once it was up in the air it was no small problem keeping it up for Chris
Gillies, Kevin Gillies, George Coursey, Chris Wasp, Joey Mawson and Lorne Brewster. The 5
foot "Monster Ball" was loaned to Ailsa Craig for Gala Days celebration by McMaster
University at Hamilton and was the centre of much fun and sports over the week-end.

Meanwhile over at the old
school volunteer fireman
from Ailsa Craig and
Parkhill fought it out with a
game of water hockey where
the object is to get a ball of a
100' wire over the opponent's
goal line with the use of fire
hoses. On one of the hottest
days of the year the cold
water was almost welcome
as the fireffighters fought to
gain control of the ball.
A mutt show attracted
dogs of all descriptions as
dogs were judged for

even the longest tail!
Saturday evening the

being enjoyed. Sunday
evening the line ups began
again for the beef barbecue.
The closing ceremonies
Sunday evening under the
direction of Gala Days
Chairman, Andy Stewart,
brought the weekend ac-
tivities to a poignant close.
He thanked the many per-
sons and organizations who
had worked diligently
together to make the
celebrations a memorable
occasion.
On stage was seated
Grandmaster and his wife,
Lyle and Isobel Stokes of
Ailsa Craig. Kathy Killby
presented Mrs. Stokes with a

appreciation of her

By JACK RIDDELL
MP P Huron-Middlesex
Now that summer is here,
and school is out, more and
more of our young people
are encountering wild birds
and animals - especially
when on vacation in the
country side, or by the lakes,
away from the urban en-
vironment,
Ministry of Natural
Resources offices
throughout the province
frequently receive telephone
calls or visits from people
who want advice about deal-
ing with animals or birds
which have been hurt or cap-
tured in some way.
Typical of the type of calls
received are the following,
reported by a Conservation
Officer in the Niagara area.
"My kitty caught a little
bird. I took it away from her
and it's all right. What can I
do with it now?" "My
children found a baby rabbit
and brought it home. What
do I feed it?" "I put the
fawn back where I found it
and watched for the mother,
but she didn't come back.
Will you come and get it?"
Of course, most people
like animals and birds, es-
pecially the young "cute"
ones. With the best of inten-
tions, they rescue birds and
small animals which may or
may not really be lost or
strayed, or have been in-
jured by an accident with a
car or by another animal.
Often after a few en-
joyable and interesting
hours of admiring their new
pet, they realize that they
don't have the proper food or
facilities, or they don't have
the time for the necessary
regular two-hour feeding on
a 24 hour a day basis.
Realizing that the
Ministry of Natural
Resources protects wildlife
and has an interest in the
welfare of animals and
birds, they place a call to the
nearest Ministry office, in
the hope that the problem
will be solved for them.
Often the response which
they receive from the
Ministry Official is disap-
pointing. Most members of
the Ministry joined the staff
because of an abiding in-
terest in true conservation
and a love of all the things of
nature. However, they know
that what people are
sometimes motivated to do
by sentiment or emotion is
not necessarily the wisest
course. This is particularly
true in the case of
"foundling" wild animals.
Almost invariably, a
caller is told to place the
fawn, the baby rabbit or the
little bird as close to its
original nest or hiding place
as possible, then go away
and leave it alone. They are
advised not to stay in the
vicinity, waiting for the
mother to return, or until
the little creature seems
able to take care of itself.
There are, needless to say, a
number of valid reasons for
the attitude taken by the
Ministry people.
The primary reason for
leaving the area is to allow
the mother time and privacy
to return. For example, if a
fawn is returned to the
hayfield where it had been
disturbed by the mower, the
doe will probably be in the
vicinity and not too far
away. However, she will not
return to her young one if
people or machines are in
the area. In fact some hours
may go by - it mayevenjbe
after dark - before she yen-
tikes forth.
There are, of course,
cases where the mother is
killed or simply abandons
her "baby". What happens
in these circumstances?
What can be done? Frankly,
not a great deal. There are
really no hospitals or treat-
ment centres for creatures
of the wild.
A veterinarian is trained
to treat domestic animals,
although he or she may offer
some feeding advice where
a wild animal or bird is con-
cerned. A zoo is essentially
for captive animals, rather
than injured or abandoned
wild ones,
Another fact which must
always be borne in mind is
that if a baby bird or animal
does survive the irregular
feeding and unusual food of
its human foster parents,
then it becomes "im-
printed" by humans. This
means that it is partly
domestic, accustomed to be-
ing fed and protected.
It is not, and almost cer-
tainly will never become
again, self-sufficient and
able to survive in a wild
habitat. What happens when
winter comes and it is
necessary to protect the
creature against the cold
weather? Few people are
prepared to bring these wild
"pets" into the house on a
more or less permanent
basis.
The best advice given to
people by those who are con-
cerned with the protection
of wildlife is that if you find
animals or birds - especially
young ones - abandoned or
apparently lost, you should
leave them alone. Almost in-
variably, they become
reunited with their
"families" if given time and
privacy to do so,
Creatures who appear in-
jured or sick will usually
either improve on their own,
or death will come. If this
happens, it is probable that
it would have been in-
evitable even with the best
of treatment.
Ministry of Natural
Resources' staff advise par-
ticular caution in dealing
with an apparently sick or
injured creature. Although
not every "sick" animal is
rabid, the possibility cannot
be overlooked, and rabies is
a serious disease which is
carried by mammals, If an
animal is usually tame, or
acts sickly or aggressively,
leave it alone - for your own
sake.
The Health of Animals'
people do not wish to ex-
amine it for rabies unless
there has been actual con-
tact between it and a
domestic animal or human.
If this has not occurred the
animal can simply be dis-
posed of or buried.
The advice offered by
Ministry officials is neither
callous or unfeeling. It is
based on the experience and
knowledge of the people
whose main job is the
protection of our wildlife
heritage.
Area pigs
are best
Martin DeBruyn, R.R. 1
Exeter, copped the cham-
pionship in one of four
classes judged at the recent
Ontario Pork Progress in
Stratford.
The local farmer's entry in
the lightweight division for
weaner pigs was the best
from among approximately
20 entries. A pen of six was
judged in each of the four
classes.
The winning pigs,
weighing about 45 pounds
each, were purchased by
Master Feeds for $165 each.

Drivers who had to stop
Sunday afternoon at either
end of Ailsa Craig on the
highway 7 might have
wondered what was taking
place. Persons could be seen
in night attire in bed in the
middle of the street.
Soon they were yelling and
calling to others who began
pushing and pulling them
along the highway. This was
one of the new events
featured in Ailsa Craig's
Gala Days and one which
proved most successful.
Nine teams took part in the
first annual Bed Races with
the "Joy Riders" being the
victors in the event.
For many the second day
of Gala Days began with
"Breakfast In the Park".
Again there was a steady
line going through the gate
for a serving of delicious
bacon, eggs and pancakes.
Many continuted on to the
community church service
held at the Ailsa Craig
United Church. The address,
"Why Worry" was given by
Rev. Ken Keyes of the
Baptist Church. United
Church minister, Peter
Snell, and Sylvia Brightwell
of the Anglican Church
assisted in the service.
Highlight of the afternoon
was the Grand Champion
turtle race won this year by
Stan Martin of RR 1, Ailsa
Craig with his turtle
"Venilation Man". Other
winners included "Run
Around" owned by All Round
Tire and "Val-D-Lyn" of the
flower shop in Ailsa Craig.
Ventilation Man is eligible to
contest the national
championships in Manitoba
next month.
The fastest turtle however,
was owned by Charles
Rollings of RR 2, Lucan,
winner of the 8th adult race.
"Leisure Time Charlie"
proved speedy with a time of
31.5 seconds winning his
