HURON TRAPPERS NAME L DOLMAGE; REPORT RACCOONS IN DISTRICT Les Dolmage, Winthrop, will head the Huron County Trappers' Association for the coming year. He was olected president at the annual meeting of the association held in the agricultural board room in Clinton on Friday night, with the retiring president, Robert Johnston, in the chair. Other officers elected are: first vice-president, Elmer Trick, Clin- ton; second vice-president, Elmer Scbade, Seaforth; Secretary, Keith Cox, Bayfield; entertainment, Bob Johnston; planning and buying, Joe Becker; membership, Murray East;. prize draws, Mervin Bat - kin; refreshments, Earl Doucette; auditor, Austin Harris. The speaker for the evening was Harold Cantelon, Hespeler, dis- trict conservation officer; who congratulated the retiring DMA - dent, Bob Johnston, on his three y-earsy as leader of the group. The Huron County Trappers' Associa- tion is the most active group of its kind in the district, he said. Mr. Cantelon spoke on the history of hunting and fishing from earl- iest time, stating that the first game laws were passed in Canada in 1860, and as game diminished more laws had to be added, until in 1946 the Department of Lands and Forests took over from Game and Fisheries for a more com- plete coverage. Les Dolmage gave a report of the Ontario Trappers' Association convention held in Huntsville, and commented favorably on the asso- ciation fur sale to be held in Hunts- ville on March 14. Bob Johnston has been appointed to the board of directors for the Ontario Trappers' Association. The trappers reported a great many raccoons in the district and, the feeling of the meeting was that they should be allowed to trap them as well as shoot them. A lively discussion was held on the advisability of having an early muskrat season, but no action was taken. The association has order- ed different varieties of seeds, such as wild celery, wild rice, burrweed, arrow weed, etc., to be distributed among the members for planting in the best locations in their trapping territories. It is hoped the growing of these will en- tice more game birds and animals back into the district. The winners of the prizes offer- ed at the meeting were as follows: trapper coming longest distance, Barbara Kirkman Plans Pot -Luck A pot -luck supper preceded the February meeting of the Barbara Kirkman. Mrs. Keith Sharp spoke a few words of welcome and then opened the meeting with prayer. Hymn 1456 was sung, followed by the secretary reading the minutes. Mrs. J. Pullman, Miss H. Murray, Mrs. H. Whyte and Mrs. F. Smale took up the offering. It was decided to have the spring thankoffering at the March meeting with the executive in charge. After the business per- iod Mrs. 0. John§ton took over the meeting, opening with prayer; fol- lowed by Hymn 14]. Mrs. Walker Hart sang a lovely solo. Mrs. M. McKellar and Mrs. Whyte read the scripture lesson, with Mrs. Willis leading in prayer. Mrs. C. Felkar gave some interesting cur- rent events. Mrs. Ross Hamilton favored the meeting with a solo. The topic on India, prepared by Mrs. Johnston, was dramatized, with Mrs. Kerslake, Mrs, Hember- ger, Mrs. Williams and Mrs. Reith taking part. Hymn 152, followed by the Mizpah benediction, brought. a fine meeting to a close. Mrs. Johnston and Mrs. Wilson entertained their group of the Bar- bara Kirkman to a social evening at the home of Mrs. Johnston. There were about 30 present. Af- ter a short business period, the evening was spent in games and contests conducted by Mrs. Reith, Mrs. Sharp and Mrs. Kerslake. A delicious lunch was served by the hostess. Wilson Rundle, received one year's paid-up membership, and Keith Cox, who won the membership draw.
