Nuturolists say .Bill Stewart
grandstanding over values
The Federation of Ontario
Naturalists has accused On-
tario Agriculture Minister
William Stewart of "grandstan-
ding" over the .4 " n of Wolf
bounties. And, at ther expense.
Stewart said last Tuesday, "I
know that wolves create real
problems for farmers, but there
are some animal lovers and
conservationists who would
rather hear a wolf howl in the
moonlight than have food on
their tables".
Stewart went on to say that
he will consider bringing back
the $25 wolf bounty.
F.O.N. President Barry Grif-
fiths reacted strongly.
"Mr. Stewart must be grand-
standing. He fully realizes that
bounties are useless, and this
fact has nothing to do, with
either 'conser tationist's' or
'animal lovers'. Cronser-
vationists are being tnade
scapegoats to .let Mr. Stewart
out from having to say that
bounties accomplish nothing,".,,
he said.
Griffiths claims that a
bounty system only wastes
Government money to kill a
few animals — rarely the ones

Attention new homemakers
Economist tells how_
to organize preparations
New homemakers facing their first Christmas preparations
or even more experienced homemakers sometimes welcome
suggestions for organizing the Christmas dinner so they can
enjoy the day and not be completely exhausted.
Home Economist Dorothy Batcheller offers some familiar
guidelines to° help.
1. Write out the menu for all meals for Christmas day.
2. Write 'out the shopping .lists early. Make one for the
non-perishable staples which may be purchased when.shop- ,.
ping well in advance of Christmas week. The°second list will
contain those items •which are perishableand must be
bought closer to the holiday.
3. List those things which may be prepared one to two
days before Christmas; such as perhaps' the pudding sauce,
mincepies, jellied salads, etc.
4'. List jobs which can be done by you or members of the
family in advance such as assembling the extra dishes, silver
and linen to be -used.
'Start thawing the turkey far enough ahead so it will be.
thoroughly thawed. Once thawed, the bird may be held for
up to two days in the refrigerator before roasting. Remove
the freezer bag when turkey is: thawed, rinse, dry and wrap
loosely with waxed paper, plastic film or foil to keep it from
drying out. .
6. Christmas eve, assemble_ ingredients. for the turkey stuf-
fing but do .not make and puT it in bird until just before ' ,-
goes into the Avon. Dry iti°gredients•need not be refrigerate
7• Clean vegetables and, get them . ready for last minus
preparation. Wash salad greens and store in"refrigerator in a
plastic 'bag.° If celery and carrot curls are on the menu,
prepare them and store in a covered glass sealer or plastic
bag. Moisture which clings to them will keep 'them crisp.
S. Fill candy and nut dishes, cover and store out of reach
of "nibblers".
Mexican Chrhtmas
,celebrations different
BY ROBERT JOHNSTON
CONESTOGA JOU.IFNALISM
STUDENT -
r Feliza Navidad is the way
Mexicans wish each other a
Merry Christmas.
Their celebratiorrs begin on
the night of 16 December and
continue till the, 24 December
and these are called posadas.
Each night Mexicans go out
with their friends and, sing
special songs before their
friends' houses. The traditions
of the songs and this festive
parties are an enactment of the
story of Mary and Joseph going
through ,Bethlehem searching
for a place to stay.
The search continues each
night until one friend lets you
in. These parties feature the
pinata, which is usually a paper
mache animal filled with can-
dies, peanuts and fruit, A blin-
dfolded guest, is given a stick
anti swings tnadly till the
pinata is broken and then the
children scramble for the
treats.
The three Kitigs mentioned'
in the Christmas story, replaces'
Sahataas- the symbol for their
gift exchanging. Mexicans ex-
change their .gifts on 6th of
January.
They celebrate with a mid-
night Christmas Mass and they
sing Spanish carols, many of
them familiar to Canadians.

"We support a program that
eliminates individual problem
al,nimals but we cannot support
such an indiscriminate
mechanism as a bounty," he
said.
Griffith goes on to note that
coyotes are not uselsss, but play
an important role in keeping
rodent populations in check.,
"Mr. Stewart implies that
leaving coyotes alone reduces
food on the table, when even
Mr. Stewart should know that
coyotes probably increase total
food production, by eating
destructive rodents — for free,"
Griffiths concluded.
I would like to' thank the voters of
Ashfield for their support.
Wishing you all a Merry . Christmas
and a Happy New Year.
