More deer killed.
by cars than by
hunters in Huron
More deer in Huron County are
being killed by motorists than by
hunters, Roy Bellinger of the
Wingham office of the ministry of
natural resources said last week.
Twenty-seven deer have died in
traffic accidents\so far this year,
nine in the past three weeks, in
the area patrolled by this office,
compared to only eight killed by
hunters last season. The Wing -
ham patrol area includes Huron
and Perth counties and three
townships in laruce County.
The greatest problem with deer
running across the road is in
HurOn County, between Bayfield
and Clinton, Mr. Bellinger said.
Even putting up signs won't work
in this stretch as the animal
crossings don't follow a pattern.
He warned motorists to be alert
for deer when driving by any
wooded area. "This is the time of
year they are most active. It's
breeding season and the bucks
are roaming around," he noted.
He said the ministry 'doesn't
know just how many deer are in
the area, but added the' numbers
appear to be increasing in the two
years since hunting with guns
was prohibited here. The result
has been a drop to eight deer
killed by bow and arrow hunters
last year from 87 killed with guns.
in 1975.
Mr.,Bellinger said that Perth
'Counthas opposed hunting with
guns while Huron has favored it.
The ministry decided to ban gun
hunting throughout this area be-
cause it would be too difficult to
administer a ban for only half the
area.
This doesn't mean the ministry
opposes hunting deer with guns,
he added, but local hunters have
not mounted an organized push to
have the regulation changed.
Sacred Heart

turnout at the Sacred Heart
weekly card party to be lower

McGlynn 's son Tommy filled in to
make five tables of card players.

low lady was Eileen McGlynn. L.
G. Bruce was the high man and
Richard Campeau was low man.
The door prize went to Agnes

Holiday fire hazard
The evergreen Christmas tree,
safe with intelligent use, can pre-
sent a serious fire hazard if
improperly handled. The differ-
ence lies in the tree's moisture
content — a condition over which
you have a surprising degree of
control. There are three simple
steps to safe enjoyment of your
favourite tree:
1. Don't purchase a tree that
has dried out. Trees that are too
dry have brittle branches that
shed needles easily. Test twigs
and needles for flexibility.
2. Store tree outdoors, prefer-
ably under shade, until it is to be
used. If it must be stored indoors,
re -cut butt and immerse in water.
Maintain water supply.
3. When tree is to be erected,
re -cut butt diagonally. Stand tree
in water and maintain water sup-
ply for duration of tree's use.
A tree handled in this manner
will achieve a moisture content
equal to and in many cases great-
er than its moisture content when
cut and will stay fresh, green and
safe through the Christmas -sea-
son.
TWO IMPORTANT
LIMITATIONS
The effectiveness off butt im-
mersion has two important
limitations :
1. A tree whose moisture con-
tent has dropped to a critical
point before immersion will not
recover, but will continue to dry
out, even when standing in water.
Check tree again for flexibility 24
hours after erecting. If there is
any sign of lessened flexibility in
needles or twigs, the tree should
be removed.
2. Even a tree with 100 per cent
moisture content will not with -
,stand a complete ring of flames
at its base. A quantity of highly
combustible material, such as
tissue -wrapped gifts, presents a
fire hazard in itself from which
the " tree, and many' household
furnishings, will not be immune.
A FINAL SAFETY
NOTE
• To complete your Christmas
tree fire safety program, use only
lighting equipment bearing the
Canadian Standards Association
label of approval and make sure
every wire and socket is in proper
working order. Finally, use only
decorations made of non-com-
bustible or approved slow -burn-
ing material.
Use of a fire -retardant chem-
ical spray on your tree is no
substitute for butt immersion,
and is not recommended.
(This fire safety information is
based on experiments conducted
by the Department of Forestry
and Rural Development, at the
Petawawa Forest Experiment
Station, Chalk River, Ontario.)

Recreation Report
NY RENNIE ALEXANDER
Roc. DlrerWr
Winter is finally here and out
have come the toboggans, skis
and skates. Children can be
heard laughing and having fun.
All too often however, over=eager
children may find themselves in
very difficult situations. One of
the worst hazards of winter that
happens to skiers, skaters, tobog-
ganers and snowmobilers, is fall-
ing through thin ice.
Preventive steps should always
be taken to avoid the dangers of
cold water. A quick check of the
ice with a stick or hard object
should let you know if the area is
safe. If the ice is 10 cm (4 inches)
thick, it's safe for people. For
snowmobiles the ice should be no
less than 20 cm (8 inches) thick.
Also remember, just because
the ice is thick enough in one spot
doesn't mean it will be all over.
The ice will be thinner where
there are undercurrents and
weaker where there are pressure
ridges and air bubbles.
The best rule to follow if you do
not know anything about an ice -
covered area is stay off orask
someone who knows something
about the area.
Please pass this information
along to all your loved ones so we
can continue to hear them laugh-
ing and playing.
The Wingham Recreation De-
partment would like to thank all
those people who so patiently put
up with the poor ice conditions
last week, due to mechanical
breakdown. The machine has
been repaired and we are right
back into the skate of things.
and Don Adair added a goal and
five assists in Saturday's win.
Also scoring for Howick were AI

Rod Annett replied for Listowel.
On Sunday, themuch improved
Drayton squad roved to be just
too much' for the juveniles.
Howick scorers were Jerry
Olechowski, Rick Powell, Hary
Gibson, and Garth Dickert, who
,scored two.
Howick came on strong in the
third period, notching three
straight.
