(News -Record photo) Hensall Council agree on death penaity Hensall council had little trouble agreeing last week that the death penalty should be reinstated for capital murder. But they had more trouble reaching a consensus on the issue of gun control. Discussion of the matters arose when a letter from the Town of Collingwood was tabled. The letter requested council's endorsation of a resolution calling on the Federal government to re instate the death penalty for capital murder; establish effective control on the purchase and possession of firearms; and abolish the granting of passes for con- victed criminals. Council was unanimous in supporting the first part of the resolution. "It's getting out of hand, the way they kill policemen" councillor Harry Klungel said. "I'm all for it (capital punishment)". But on the matter of gun control, he.., felt differently. Such control would be an infringement on people's basic freedom, he said. Huron County Trappers meet A large crowd was present at the Belgrave Arena on November 25 for the Huron County Trappers meeting. After the meeting was opened by president Clarence Hanna a film supplied by the Ministry of Natural Resources in Wingham, was shown. The film "Back to the Wild. Lands" showed the interesting lives of beavers, ducks and other animals. A lengthy discussion followed among those present and a ministry represen- tative, Ken Henry, con- cerning the obtaining of written permission by trappers from land owners. Many were against the idea as some farmers felt they may) be held responsible, by giving written permission and wouldn't sign. Others felt that the hunter with dogs and occasional hunters were not included but also some trappers thought it was alright but they didn't think that the ministry could en- force these laws on private property owners. It also made it hard on urban trappers to get per- mission if they were new to the district and were not well known. Some townships were also concerned that the in- surance didn't cover damages to trappers given permission to trap on the roadsides and wouldn't allow any trapping, but these cases were not numerous. However, it was noted that this is a start of some future laws concerning trespassing on private property. What will happen is still indefinite. After this, small draws for traps took place and the big ticket sales draw took place. Traps were donated by the trappers club and the winners were: first prize, $100, Ron Chuter; second prize, $50, Pat Newington; third prize, $50, Mrs. Carl East; fourth prize, $25 Mrs. K. Jankourski; fifth prize, $25, Murray East. The meeting was then adjourned and lunch was supplied by the ladies. Owing to the Christmas rush and waiting for sales prices, this report was held up. The last sale was on January 12. The December and January sales totalled over $51/2 million. The prices are: Red Fox, average, $65.70; Coon, average, $24.85; Beaver, average,, $20.05; Mink, average, $12.76; Muskrat, average, $5.47; Skunk, average, $4.12; Red Squirrel, average $0.87.
