THE PROPOSED THREE-DAY open sea-
son for deer is old Ontario this autumn may
have many strong points to recommend it, but
we are not altogether. sold on it;'°affer hearing
of some of the narrow escapes that took place
in other open seasons in the settled -parts of
i1theeProvince.
The. Department of Lands and•Forests puts
no a strong ease for the open 'season which it
recommended on the advice of its conserva-
tion officers. It dairies that an over -abundance
of deer in the Huron District -tea region of ten
counties, extending roughly from} Goderich to
Collingwoo'd and "including this area—during ,
the past year caused thousands of dollars it ' •
damage 'to automobiles, farmers' crops. and
orchard's. • -
The conservation' officers have estimated
roughly that damage amounting to $30,000 was
inflicted en ears alone -as 'the result of cal-
lisions with deer on highways in the District.
A total of 150 deer ,were killed 'in this man- •
ner, and the average collision is believed to
have cost the motorist,. $300 in repair bills,
Farmers are, reported to be another group
that are welcoming' the three-day open 'season'
this year. ' The deer,once they had eaten up
all the natural browse, turned to farm crops
for- sustenance. One farmer complained that
he had lost. 100 bushels ofcorn during the
winter months, whilemany others reported,
losses, of "25 'bushels or more. Considerable
damage, they told wildlife officers, had been
done to their 'hoe crops, such as turnips and

number in the Huron District, especially near

reduced for some time: Young orchards . are
said to have suffered' h:eav1ly:. The deer are
said to have browsed on the tender branches
of 'young trees, end when these were eaten,
turned to the tops and 'then the bark. One
grower estimated that $500 damage had been
caused to one of his young stands.
After piling up all this evidence of the
desirability of a three-day open season for
deer, the Department attempts to clinch its
ergument by stating that the fact that the
open. season will be general throughout One
tario,, will alleviate any danger of over -cony
centration..of deer hunters,
All well and good, and it couldbe that
there- is a great, need for a seduction of the
deer population -in the Province of Ontario.
But the way we see it, the three-day deer
hunt is going- to require tl,ne combined energies
of all the conservation officers in' the employ
of the Departnient---and then some -to control.
• ' Most of as may well imagine the cry of
anguish that would go up from any farmer who
lost a prise bull or even a grade heifer, through
the anis-directed shot of an alleged deerhunter.
And the danger 'to human life is profoundly

of the situation.

The Canadians who suffer most from this ,
state of affairs are a vast army of people on

people as pensioners, and small business men
whose 'turnover Is up but whose, profit is down.
What is the solution?
Firstly, Canadians must be prepared to

Going back one step, the wholesaler, too,
is in a similar spot, since, by the time the

The Words We Use
A WORKING EDITOR—teed of a great
Canadian daily newspaper—delivered an' out-
standings message to the delegates attending
the annual convention of the Canadian Week- •
ly' Newspapers Association in Winnipeg, Man-
itoba, a fortnight ago, when the daily news-
papers of that city acted as luncheon hosts,
The NEWS -RECORD was represented.
Carlyle Allison, editor -lin -.chief elf The
Winnipeg Tribune, took a very simple sub-
ject—"The Words We Use"—and developed the
theme into a very interesting talk. In re-
porting his address, his own newspaper -very
succinctly summed it up in the following words:
"If a newspaper is to fulfil its real duty—
'To make people thinly' it must be written
clearly and simply."
Mr. Allison, whose father before him was
Professor of English at the University of Man-
:itoba, declered that the proper use of words
is, more important than ever in these days of
"complex and dangerous living."
This is just as true of problems arising
in Clinton or "Bayfield, as it is oDt ,ose arising
in Teheran or Kaesong,
Mr. 'Allison maintained that most news-
papers do try to present problems simply and
clearly, and that often it is not true of "the
bureaucrat and the lawyer". He quoted ex,
a::"ples of British Government directives which
amounted to . "confusion twice confounded."
An even more serious abuse of the language
is being committed by the Soviet Union in
placing false meaning on such words as
"peace", "democracy", and "people's govern-
ment."
"We have a duty, each one of us, in the
use of words to help people to think clearly,
and this was never more necessary than it is
today," Mr. Allison asserted. "It takes a heap
of understanding to keep abreast of even one
subject today let alone a. score of them, and
if this is true of us who must read as we
• work, it must 'be -doubly true of those who
must read as they run," ar,
On the whole, "there is much In the news-
paper of today to encourage those who love a
simple serviceable English," Mr. Allison con-
cluded, and we agree wholeheartedly with hirn
in this contention,

TEMPERANCE
The Exeter Times -Advocate of
August 23, reports a Goderich
court case of Aug. 18, in which
two young man escaped convic-
tion because their offence was
not indictable under The Canada
Temperance Act. The magistrate
'described their offence "disrupt-
ing the peace of the town" —
"interfering with peaceful citi-
zens," "rowdyism" — No one
ever claimed that such an offence
was indictable under the Canada
Temperance Act. ' But everyone
knows that it is a breach of the
Criminal code.—who !blundered
that these men were charged
with law infraction under the
CTA? Who .blundered that they
were not charged under the
Criminal Code? When such of-
fences as are described above are
committed the people of Huron
want administration under the
criminal code and they do not
want words of contempt for the
Canada Temperance Act which
is not applicable to the case.
