" We have two new teachers this year. Joining our staff is Miss Querengesser, who teaches grades 1-2 in the portable. The second new teacher is Mr. Blackwell. He is at the school in the af- ternoon only and - teaches music. ' We all wish them good,luck and hope they enjoy teaching at our school. School band 'This year, Hullett Central rmed a band 'under the supervision of Mr. Blackwell, our music teacher. The band consists of pupils from grades 6, 7,and 8. With co-operation from Mr. Blackwell and the students, the band will be a great ' success, Trip to the fair On Tuesday, September 13, the grade six and the Power Learning class went on a field trip to the Western Fair in• London, They left the school to bus Tue day morning at 19:30 a.m., and returned at 5:15 p.m. The class went in dif- ferent animal barns and conservation buildings. Each isupil had a worksheet to complete atthe fair. This trip proved to be very educational and enjoyable. What you think... (continued from page 4) trapping has really 0 progressed. .The article contains the statement that at one time selling pelts was important, but that now it is only sport, A great many of the 300 to 400 trappers in your own area are farmers, construction and seasonal workers, 'who supplement their summer income by trapping in the fall ad winter. It is important at there is no trapper on unemployment insurance or on welfare. There are 12,500 trappers in Ontario alone. With the type of economy that we have today, and the unemployment being so high, you have a choice. Would you rather pay unemployment insurance and welfare to these people, and then pay conservation officers to go out and do the job the trap- pers are doing? Another statement in the article - "Mankind is destroying the wild life". The conservation of fur bearing animals in the province of ' Ontario is the most successful conservation program. in all of North America. We do not have any of the fur bearing species that are endangered. Quite the opposite: Our biggest danger to wild life today is laws based on emotion rather than biological facts., Trappers in Ontario lead all North America, if not the world, in humane trapping, and in trapper education. Have you heard of a class conducted by the Ministry of Natural Resources and the Ontario Trappers Association? A weekend workshop there at Clinton, where trappers come in and are shown the new and humane methods of .trapping, better methods of fur han- dling, and conservation? I ♦ suggest that you attend one. Do, for once, and it will certainly make you feel better to know how much work is really going in to the harvesting of surplus fur bearers. When I speak of surplus, I mean just that. Man is the most humane predator of all. If the beaver were not trapped, what you would have is this - Beaver are territorial animals. When they set up a SolonY, the house, dam, pond, r op r facrl�rg HURON ST.

These are no trespassing signs, to any other beaver. Any beaver coming in to this place from outside will be set upon by the whole colony, bitten, seriously' injured, if not killed. When beaver become over populated as they have in some of the parks in Canada, they take a disease called tularemia. It is a disease that kills all the beaver and muskrats. Not. just in that pond, but as ducks land in that pond, and go on, to the next one, they infect every pond that they,.land on. This is because the beavers relieve themselves in the water, the virus lives in the water, so that anything touching it will immediately become con - tam inated. In the parks where tularemia has happened and is happening today., you cannot swim in the park, wash in the water, drink it, or take a pet in. It is even more contagious than the dreaded rabies. By the way, you have had five cases of people in your own Clinton area getting tularemia in the last five years. Now, the only way we can control diseases is by con- trolling the number of animals. The article says they are managed by nature, but certainly that is not kind - to have the beavers and muskrats die over a period of about three months with tularemia, or . foxes, canines and skunks with rabies so they can no longer eat and drink, or kidney. worms in mink that eat the inside of the kidneys, or distemper in raccoons that causes 'them to rub their noses and sides of their faces on the ground until the flesh is raw and bleeding. They do not die .in a day. It takes .weeks to die. Infected The Clinton Atom soccer team won the Huron Cup playoffs last Saturday, and were runners-up in league action.

(News -Record photo) animals spread the infection wherever they go, lodges, dens, ponds, and woods. You have probably never seen a fox dying with mange. With 10,000 mites under the skin, festering, hair falling out over 30 percent of its body. Every den and every place it goes is infected for the next fox or other animal that comes along. This is not kind, or humane. I am sure Ms. Townshend did not allude to this when she spoke of nature levelling the wild life. You see, today we have people who have gone through schools and colleges and post graduate work in the field of wild life 'biology and wild life management. These young people, and some not so young, are trained to do a job - to manage environment and wild life, If you do not have confidence in these people working” with the trappers and hunters of this province and doing their job, I feel sorry because their record is excellent. There is no such thing as nature in balance. I could go . on for hours pointing out different studies that have been and are being done, but I do not think this is necessary. However, I would like to take issue on the subject of wolves. Wolves have never eaten humans. They do riot attack humans under any conditions. The biggest pack record -of .wolves in Ontario is eleven. If you dropped a gum wrapper on the ground they would go "a long way around it. There is no . poison used. But look around.... the habitat in your part of the country has been completely destroyed for wolves. You have coyotes, but no wolves. Yours sincerely, Lloyd Cook Barrie, C.A.
