First vice president, Patricia Muratori, was installed and Esther Wright as awards chairperson to complete the slate of officers and committee heads for 1987. Ten auxiliarians from the group were 10 of 162 attending Region two spring conference f in Fergus last Monday (Volunteer Week). Leona Towton, Bernice Jewson and Joyce Chilton reported on the day. They learned everyone has humor in them and some tips on sharing it - the value of a smile. A pilot project sponsored by OHA (Ont. Hosp. Assoc.) Emergency Department Questionnaire for Region two was attended by secretary Leona Towton in Waterloo. She found CPH to be up to the mark with such matters as spaciousness and the staff to be friendly and attending to most serious cases first.

Conservationists seek gill net ban Citing two government-sponsored studies, Ontario's largest provincial conservation association has renewed its demands for a complete ban on the use of gill nets by com- mercial fishermen. "Gill nets kill virtually everything that swims into them, not just the fish the com- mercial fishermen are aiming for", stated Rick Morgan, Executive Vice President of the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters (OFAH). "In addition to thousands of nontarget fish, gill nets have even been known to tangle and kill diving ducks and loons." Morgan referred to two specific studies as further evidence of the nonselective deadliness of gill nets. The Lake Huron Fisheries Assessment Unit produced figures which, when presented to the Great Lakes Fisheries Commission in March, indicated that commercial netters incidentally killed 126,455 salmon and trout, while fishing for whitefish, chub, and perch in 1984 and 1985, on one portion of Lake Huron alone. Another study conducted for the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources in eastern Lake Ontario showed that gill net fishermen seeking whitefish are likely to catch three lake trout for every one whitefish. In a Letter to Natural Resources Minister, Vincent Kerrio, OFAH President Jack Craik has asked, "How long is your government going to allow this travesty to continue? You must ban the use of gill nets for commercial fishing in Ontario." The 60,000 -member sportsmen's federa- tion has pointed out that if commercial fishermen switched to trap nets, most of the nontarget fish could be released alive to swim and spawn again. "It's a needless waste", said Morgan, "a waste we've tried to have government stop for over a decade. Both the government and the commercial fishermen, are to blame." The OFAH is convinced that governemnts would take serious, strong action against a pollution industry that incidentally killed so many fish, and can't understand why a com- mercial fishing industry is allowed to get away with using equipment that virtually guarantees such kills, while alternate, less wasteful fishing gear exists.

Dunant was born on May 8, 1828. World Red Cross and Red Crescent Day has been celebrated annually on his birthday since 1948. Every year a different theme is chosen for World Red Cross/Red Crescent Day. This year, Red Cross/Red Crescent Societies are publicizing efforts for the survival and development of children through the "CHILD ALIVE" program. More than ten million children under the age of five die, or are disabled, every year from disease. The CHILD ALIVE program aims to stop childhood deaths from preven- table disease. "The role of the 145 national societies, like The Canadian Red Cross Society, is to in- form, educate, motivate, and mobilize peo- ple to set up Red Cross programs, wherever they're needed," said Andrew Fleming, President of The Canadian Red Cross Socie- ty. "Although we celebrate on May 8, very day is World Red Cross and Red res ent Day.
