Did- You Know?
Did you know who was meant
in this column' last week by the
world's great naturalist?' Perhaps
it would help to know that he
was also termed "the founder of
the conservation movement in
North America". He said "I stand
for more conservation and less
conversation".
Yes, the man whose birthday
was on April 10 (the beginning of
National Wild Life Week) was
Jack Miner, .Kingsville.
From 1904 to 1944 he built up
the Jack Miner Sanctuary at
Kingsville; carried out the first
known work in recording migrat-
ory movements by banding wild
birds; carried out a lecture career
between 1910 and 1940 which filled
the largest auditoriums in Canada
and the United States, and became
known as one of the 15 greatest
men in the world.
At present his three sons, Man-
ly. Ted and Jasper carry on the
work. The Jack Miner Migratory
Bird Foundation is a non-profit,
non -share organization, geared to
stand in perpetuity for the benefit
of all mankind,
As many as 5,980 cars Were re-
corded as Visiting the Sanctuary
in one day early last December.
People came from as far away as
England to visit what they term
"the wonder of the world".
Next week, April 10 to 16 is
National Wild Life .Week, pro-
claimed in honour of Jack Miner's
birthday.

All, honour to the Penticton- V's. In the
face of trying circumstances, they recovered
i"
the distinction rightly Canada's, the hockey
championship of the world, thus throwing
'-.
sand into the gear -boxes of a propaganda
machine: that must�have.i,een hopefully poised
I
to' grind oiitr-praise for the athletic superiority of the sturdy
sonsof the Soviet.
And now that we have won back what was really ours,
triumph in our own national game, should we call it a day?
Should we refrain from further participation in this annual
orgy of insults, mis-statements and accusations' which are
inevitable when one of the participants is seeking to use Er
sport for national propaganda purposes?
There is the thought that Canada. should continue to
participate, first, in the interest of friendly relations with
countries outside the iron curtain; second, for the international
good of hockey, to help spread the gospel of, our crackling
winter sport. -
But as to the event known as the world championships,
we believe It is mis-named. Everybody knows that. no real
world championship, meaning world superiority in hockey, is
seriously involved unless the champions of the National Hockey
League, or the Stanley Cup holders, are participants,
Of course, there can be produced that over -ripe red herring
to indicate that this is the "world amateur championship".
But that isn't going to deceive anybody, because everyone
knows that in hockey at that level, limon -pure amateurism
is as scarce as the dodo -bird, And everyone knows, too, that
Russia's athletes are part of the propaganda machine, stall -fed,
government-sponsored, government -controlled, their activities
suitably recompensed. Russia has its own brand of amateur-
ism, something contrived to suit the circumstances. .
And now that the fight has been won, and Canada's
hockey superiority re-established to the embarrassment of the
Kremlin's propaganda machine, isthereany virtue in carrying
on, with a pointless chore? Everybody in sport is fully aware
that Canada is supreme in' hockey.
Our victories in. this tournament, ever teams that in some
eases could hardly make a respectable showing in Canada's
midget hockey" leagues, prove nothing new. Or should we
continue so that hockey shall Income a
sport?
