The OTA's role will continue to expand in- to the following areas: • the determination of quotas; • setting seasons; • trapper and public education; • training and research: • sharing biological information; • . distributing registered traplines; and, • the establishment and adminstration of a private lands fur management program. "Although the government must assume ultimate responsibilities with the Ontario Trappers' Association in the future," Pope said. "This is part of a general ministry thrust to significantly increase public in- volvement in natural resource management ,decision-making." Pope said that the OTA has already shown itself to be a capable manager of several provincial fur programs. The OTA has been heavily involved in trapper education pro- grams and in the development and im- plementation of the new private lands fur management program. The OTA recently demonstrated its com- mitment to wise resource management by hiring a full-time chief trapper instructor who will place increasing emphasis on both humane trapping and trapping ethics. The increased role played by the associa- tion is being aided by revenue generated from the sale of a trappers' manual, related publications, and new funds being generated within the Ontario Trappers' Association directed to the special fund set up by the OTA for trapper and public educa- tion. In the past several years, the ministry has also entered into co-operative resource management projects with angling groups, local provincial parks enthusiasts, hunting clubs, naturalis groups, the forest and min- ing companies, private corporations, schools and municipalities.

( Anne Narejko photo) New bait to deliver vaccine A new bait designed to deliver ,a liquid rabies vaccine to wild foxes will be tested in southwestern Ontario this fall by the Ministry of Natural Resources. Thirteen :.housand baits were dropped. on the test area — bounded by Goderich, Blyth, Seaforth and Bayfield — on September 25. No vaccine will be used in the test, but a marker will indicate if a fox ate the bait. "This is the first time we have tested bait designed for a liquid rabies vaccine," said Natural Resources Minister Alan Pope. "I am pleased that development of baits is keeping up with the latest steps in vaccines. I look forward to the day when we can reduce rabies in wildlife with a vaccine and bait developed here in Ontario." The use of liquid vaccine is a new ap- proach to dealing with the problem of rabid foxes. The hamburger bait tested in past years was designed to deliver small pills which released vaccine in the intestine. The new bait will spread liquid vaccine around the mouth of the fox where it will be absorb- ed. The test bait is made of plastic foam coated with wax and fat. It was placed in a plastic bag with a small quantity of raw liver to attract foxes. The baits were dropped from low flying aircraft along the edge of woodland, on gravel pits and other rough land, and on pasture, stubble and fields with low vegeta- tion. No baits will be dropped within 100 metres of farm buildings, houses, roads or recreation areas. If the initial testing of the bait is suc- cessful, the vaccine will be used in 1985. Hydro Board accepts increase Ontario Hydro's board of directors has ac- cepted the Ontario Energy Board's recom- mendation for an average 8.6 per cent rate increase for 1985, Chairman Tom Campbell announced September 13. "With this increase, Hydro rates will re- main among the lowest in North America," Campbell said. Hydro had originally proposed a 9.1 per cent increase in 1985 rates. The Energy Board, following a six-week public hearing this spring, recommended a reduction to 8.6 per cent and endorsed Hydro's costing and pricing proposals. "I'm particularly pleased that the OEB IA)11444 r. COLD WEATHERPJ y'- SPECIALS THANKSGIVING DAY MONDAY, OCT. 8th Large Asst. of Children's JOGGING SETS recognized our efforts to control costs, and agreed that Hydro is complying with the spirit and intent of the Inflation Restraint Program," said Campbell. "The Energy Board recognized there are certain costs that result from factors beyond our control, such as the value of the Canadian dollar and interest rates. These costs have to be passed on to the consumer," Campbell said. "However, where we can directly control costs, we are adhering to the restraint guidelines." Campbell said Hydro remains committed to its goal of keeping rate increases at or below the inflation level over the decade of the 1980s. $8 97 $9.97440(1 0.97 12-24 mts. • 2-3X Asst. of Children's 2 pc.
