SHOOTING OF DEER BY CONSERVATION OFFICERS The problem of deer damage can be partially solved by the killing of a few deer in order to reduce the concentration in certain areas, Deer are quite numerous on the West side of the Grand River ,South of Galt, and during the past few years con- siderable damage has been reported. Two years ago, a County Reforesta- tion plot was ruined when the deer browsed off the small Pines.. The shrubs and specimen evergreens have been ruined on a dumber of pro- perties along the River. Orchard plantings in the vicinity of St. George were also damaged, The Ce- dar, which is the preferred food of the deer, was browsed off as high as the deer could reach and all small cedars have been completely eaten off. Several Conservation Officers as- sisted Mr. E. R, Meadows, Huron District Fish and Wildlife Inspector, to reduce the deer population in the above area by shooting. The deer were sent to Maple, the Department of Lands and Forests Research Stat- ion, where research studies will be carried out. There will likely have to be shoots in other areas unless there is a short open season for deer next fall. If the open season that was amended last year had been held, it would have been better in many respects, Jack- lighting of deer, which Is far too common this year, would not have been so prevalent. Quite a number have been apprehended but it is real- ized that many deer poachers have not been caught. A deer can easily be shot at night if a light is shone directly in its eyes, as it will stand still giving. the hunter plenty of time to take careful aim. The deer will not be eliminated in a short three day season, and it would likely be several years before a second open season would be neces- sary to reduce the deer herd again. It is to be hoped that if an open deer season is declared in 1952 that it will include all of Western Ontario rather than individual Townships or Counties. If a restricted area is open- ed it is necessary to reduce the num- ber of licences issued ,and this is dif- ficult as someone has to decide who will receive a license. Deer in Southern Ontario The increase of deer in Southern Ontario is perhaps the most conten- tious problem that the Department of Lando and Fpreets has at the present time. The deer Were almost elimin- ated thirty to forty years ago when there were very few game overseers to protect the game. It is only within the past twenty years that they have become so plentiful. Conditions are ideal for. deer in many parts of Southern Ontario. There is cover in the swamp and woodlots and they can feed on the farmers' crops in the Spring, Sum. neer and Fall, They also eat the fall wheat in the winter when it is not covered by snow, The common White Cedar is a preferred food of deer and it is plentiful in many parts of Southern Ontario, The deer have become so plentiful that they are causing considerable damage to forests, crops, orchards and are one of the highest hazards on the roads. They browse the Cedar trees as high as they can and will eliminate all Cedar reproduction. They also at times browse off the small Pines on a reforestation plot. They browse fruit trees and Maple, Ash and Oak in the woodlots, leav- ing the Ironwood and Blue Beech which are considered weed trees. The number of accidents which in- volve cars and deer are very numer- ous and in the aggregate have caused thousands of dollars damage to cars, The logical method of dealing with the deer problerii would be to have an open season for a few days in the Fall, and have the deer population reduced legally. Opposition to an open season for deer has many sup- porters. The following are some of the reasons for this opposition: (1) Sentiment—There are many people who are against killing deer, We would point out that these people to be logical, should be vegetarians and refuse to eat meat, Others state that they like to see deer when driv- ing through the country, We sym- pathize with this viewpoint but we should face the facts that when wild animals become plentiful in a settled countryside they clo damage. (2) Owners object to hunters tress passing on their land. This objection is not confined to the hunting of deer, as there are hunters out all winter after fox and rabbits. In the summer they are after the woodchucks which annually destroy thousands of dollars worth of crops. (3) Danger to Non-Hunters—There be accidents where there are guns. In the more settled districts it is il- legal to use ,rifles in the open deer season. In this connection it should be noted that rifles may be used to shoot woodchucks in the summer when there are stock in the fields. Rifles may also be used to shoot rabbits and fox during the winter. el....10114011.0•11,141111•01" RECENT & READABLE Three new books received at the Wingham Public Library will pro- vide many hours of enjoyable read- ing, They are reviewed below. THE SPOILS OF TIME by Sir Philip Gibbs This is the story of Val Haviland from the turn of the century for al- most fifty eventful years. It gives a vivid picture of changing England during that time, Val's father was an assistant editor of the Times and usually had break- fast In bed at ten o'clock with most of the morning papers spread over his eiderdown, He went to his office in Printing House Square after lunch and did not come home again until two in the morning. Val, with his younger brother, Frank, and sister, Olivia, had a lively time in the playroom of their house in Church Street, Kensington. Their charming mother made shadow pict- ures on the walls with her nimble fingers, or cut out cardboard char- acters for their toy stage, helped to paint them in vivid colors, and then recited the parts in "The Miller and His Maid,' or "Dick Whittington and His Cat" in different voices, high and low, from lovely maidens to gruff old men. This was very thrilling to her two small boys. There was no doubt that Frank inherited his gift for acting from her. On Saturday evenings, when his father had no paper to "put to bed," there were dinner parties, and Val and Frank loved to, look over the banisters at the guests. Val's mother's picture is painted as Joan of Arc by Arthur Wingfield, and is praised by the critics as an outstanding picture of the year when it is exhibited in the Royal Academy. Some time after this, she goes off to Italy with Arthur Wingfield, desert- ing the little family in Church Street, Kensington. Val ,a tall rather shy boy, does well in his school life and is an omnivor- ous reader. He writes stories in his teens and gradually comes to realize that he is cut out for a fiction writ- er. Many years later, he is known not only for his books but as an author of several plays which have long runs There is amusing comedy as well• as tragedy in the book. Though many of the events are of a time which is past ,the book is modern in its point of view. This is one of Philip Gibbs' finest novels. Do not miss it. A DRAGON APPARENT by Norman Lewis Travels in Indo-China Curiosity took Norman Lewis to Indo-China. Attracted by the ac- counts of early travellers and stimu- lated by the lack of anything like up-to-date information, he went to see for himself what remained of the glories of the past and form some estimate of what the future held for the peoples of this fabulous region. His book is timely, the information he gathered highly topical, and his personal experiences uncommonly in- teresting. Whether he is interviewing the King of Cambodia, investigating the curious practices of the Cao-Dai sect, describing the primitive Moi, or observing the differences of opin- ion between the French military ad- ministration and the planters, he is always interesting and surprising, al- ways ,in fantastic jungle scenes or urban night life, a sensitive recorder of impressions. In his novels (Samara and Within the Labyrinth) Norman Lewis dis- played his gift for describing strange people and strange places, The descriptive passages in the present book, for example, of his visit to An- gkor Vat, or the "love-court" at Vientiane, are all the more remarks able because he subdues hie own per- sonality in favour of clear objective reporting and interpreting the many extraordinary people, places and sit- , uations with which he found himself involved. Exposed to the hazards of travel by air In ramshackle plane, by road in ramshackle bus, or in mili- tary convoy through the jungle, he covered some thousands of miles, un- dismayed by linguistic difficulties or exotic diet, and was able at last to realize his ambition of crossing the lines into Vietminh territory. A talent- ed writer, he is also an expert photo- grapher. The photographers which il- lustrate his narrative are bizarre and beautiful. PARTNERSHIP INSURANCE Has proved its worth many, many times.

There is a description of a garden party at Broadways When Elizabeth is sixteen which recalls a way of life which is gone forever. You get glimpses of Orpen, the portrait painter, G. K. Chesterton, Forbes Robertson, W. B. Yeates. Val's father goes to some of Lloyd George's breakfast parties at No. 10 Downing Street and writes of him: 'Astounding little genius, with the physique of a New Forest Pony and the intellectual vitality of ten dy- namic minds." 1,65ID Tune in °The Lone Ranger", CKNX 5;00 pane THURSDAY BOYS!

Something important you should know about your husband You know him better than anyone else in the world. You know his bad points as well as his good ones. But one of his best points may have escaped your notice. You know that he doesn't do many of the things he'd like to do with his money—because the family income will only go so far. And you know that he might reasonably spend money freely now — without a thought for your future. But he doesn't. Regularly, he puts aside money to give you the protection of life insurance. True, he may gain benefit from that insurance during his own life, but that isn't why he owns it. The real reason can be found in his concern for your welfare. Do you co-operate with his efforts to provide for you in this important way? Are you encouraging his habit of thrift? Right now, it's more important than ever to save money. For every dollar put aside for the future helps to check inflation . • . helps to protect the value of all your money. So check over your budget.
