Backpackers say that the less
you carry in your head, the
more you must carry on your
back,
It's like that with hunting,
too, and sportsmen who know
the least may own the most, In
fact, there's a whole new breed
of sportsmen who don't really
know much about the outdoors,
but who are ring-railed wizards
with outdoor gadgets.
To such men, the joy of con.
sumer goods is a sAbstitute for
basic outdoor skills. They may
never learn to use iron sights,
or how to row a boat, use snow-
shoes, cook on an open fire, or
swing an axe, What's more,
they couldn't care less. Datil
Boone might have ,'elt the same
way, if he'd had our gadgets.
When an outdoor situation
demands special skill or physi-
cal endurance, many modem
sportsmen can't rest until they
have found a gadget that substi-
tutes for both. They have trad-
ed woodcraft for technology,
and consider it a bargain.
Maybe it is. It gets people
outdoors, puts roses in the
economy's cheeks, and saves
time -- the most important
item in outdoor recreation.
The real rub comes when the
hunter extends this philosophy
into game management. He
figures that if his own needs
can be solved with gimmicks,
so can wildlife's. So he substi-
tutes legislation for a basic land
ethic, buys duck stamps in-
stead of squelching federal
drainage subsidies, and builds
artificial lakes when sick wa-
tersheds can no longer support
healthy rivers. invents ar-
Oficial wood duck nests, water
guzzlers for desert quail, nest-
ing tubs for geese, and rubber-
tire squirrel nests,
There's nothing wrong with
these, as far as they go. Even
such patent medicines as stock-
ing, bounties, predator control
and winter feeding can be use-
ful, as aspirin is useful, But
they aren't cures!
The only real cure for ailing
wildlife crops is basic land and
water conservation, with some
attention to wildlife habitat,
There is no magic gimmick for
producing good supplies of wild-
life without good supplies of
soil and water. If there were,
nature would already have
found it, and there'd be mal-
lards in Death Valley and moose
in Manhattan.

The Canadian Medical As-
sociation notes that overweight
persons suffer from heart at-
tacks probably three times as
frequently as those of average
weight. Control of weight, work
and worry is essential in prevent-
ion of heart attacks.

Preston blasted Wingham 9
to 2 Saturday to capture the
Ontario Amateur Softball As-
sociation Zone One champion-
ship in two straight games.
Don Dyer paced the winners
with three hits and Ken Black
added a home run and a triple.
Preston's seven runs on seven
hits in the third inning erased a
Wingham one-run lead and
provided the margin for their
victory.
Carl Mowbray led the Wing-
ham batters with a home run
and a double while Barry Gard-
ner collected a triple and a
single. John McKenzie and
Elliot Courtney had two hits
apiece.
Saturday night the Pee Wees
travelled to Atwood only to be
beaten by a onesided 16 to 8
score. The loss left Wingham
with a two to one lead in
games in their best of five
WOAA league finals.
Ron Scholl pitched and bat-
ted Atwood on to win as he col-
lected two homers and two
doubles and struck out 8 in the
five innings he worked.
Wingham's top batter was
Ron Murray knocking out a pair
of doubles while John Leitch
added two singles and Barry
Gardner a triple.
