return had a successful trip. A
group of 12 men, which included
John Robinson, Jack Bannister,
Leroy O'Brien, Herb Mousseau,
and Jim Parkins had the best luck
of any group around here, coming
home with eight deer, a big black
bear, a wolf, and a fox.
Another group consisting of Len
Prang, Ross Johnston, Bob Mc-
Kinley and Edgar Steinback also
returned on Sunday. They were
fortunate enough to bring home
three deer. Both groups were
hunting on Manitoulin Island, a-
bout 25 miles from each other.
ERi BLACK BEAR
John Robinson had the pleasure
of shooting the bear which is
probably one of the largest ones
ever brought to Zurich. When
asked if he was excited at the
time, John replied, "No, I just
kept on shooting at him so often
that I knew he couldn't possibly
live. The first shot I fired would
probably have killed him, but I
really wanted to make sure."
Shooting a bear is what a hunt-
er calls a thrill of a lifetime.
The big brush wolf was shot by
Elzar Mousseau, Kippen, who was
also in the party. There is a $25
bounty on wolves in Manitoulin
Island.
The bear, wolf, and deer were on
display at Mousseau-Parkins gar-

Several new sample street-
lights are to be installed in the
village of Zurich in the very
