Institute Members V4sit Huron County Museum 'SEWS OF BELMORE Funeral of Mrs, Adam Nickel Held from Son's Home CONSERVATION CORNER Year after year fawn deer born in the wilds are stolen by people who think they have a right to do so. Their reason for stealing the deer is always the same—"I saw the deer lying helpless, wet and hungry. I knew it was hungry because it con- tinued to bleat while I waited for the mother to return." How many of us realize that a mother will never return while man is near her young? The mothers often leave their young for hours at a time before returning. Let us not forget the mother deer requires food and may have to travel a considerable distance for her food supply. Picture the mother deer returning to feed her young, expecting them to he at the spot she so carefully chose. • Surely her heart beat must quicken , to find her young gone. She immedi- ately starts a fruitless search for days on end, ever hoping that in some way she may again be bleSSed with her fami'y. In many ways wildlife give their young better care than we humans' prefess to give our own children. When deer are picked up in this manner the Department immediately seizes them and they are taken to large ,enclosures for their protection. We are at present holding three fawn on the 'farm of Irwin Fromm, Hes- peler Highway, who so kindly cares for them until they are taken to Kapuskasing where deer are scarce.
