Some men do as much begrudge oth ers a good name, as they want one themselves, and perhaps that is the reason of it. —Penn CONSERVATION Kidnapping of baby fur bearing ani mals and deer to take home as pets is strictly contrary to the Game and Fisheries Act and Regulations in Ontario and invites stern prosecution. In issuing this warning, the Ontario Department of Lands and Forests ap peals for co-operation in the protect ion of young wild animals, especially at this season when almost all wild animals raise their young. “Find a litter of these young wild things, watch them and enjoy them during trips to the woods, but also protect them. Leave them with their parents. That is their protection," adv.ises Conservation Officer G. R. Harris, of Willow Cove, in the Lake Huron District. “You can nearly always be sure to see a mother animal and her litter if you range the woods during April and May,” he points out. “It may be a groundhog with five or six young sters or a raccoon with her young ranging from three to seven. It may be the lowly skunk with as many as ten, or a doe deer with her single young one or, perhaps, twins. “On your trips to the woods, try to find these family groups. Watch them from a distance and you will see some of the finest examples of moth erly love on earth. Each mother will risk her life to save her young. Her TO MAKE NICKEL OCT OF NICKEL CORNER eypry move seems to teach her off spring; a lesson for their safety and survival. Watch them, study them, but don’t take them home. They do not belong in captivity and no one has a right to steal them from their mothers. “Each year, many baby animals are kidnapped frprn their parents and taken home as pets. They are usually well taken care of until the novelty wears off. Then they may be neglect ed and released to fend for themselves. Is that fair? That baby has not finish ed being taught by its mother the ways of obtaining food before being taken from her. When released, it might turn killer if it is a fox or rac coon and probably kill off the neigh bour’s fowl, or it may just die of starvation.” Prosecutions cannot right the wrong, he suggests, but co-opera tion in safeguarding young wildlife can prevent it. The nickel is going to be made out of nickel again. A proclamation in The Canada Gazette said the Mint will start is suing five-cent coins made of nickel January 1, 1955. Nickel is nothing new in the nickel. But five-cent pieces have been mint ed from steel for the last three years to conserve nickel for defence pur poses. -oen-o IWI u — ,i m n — Il — <w»<i — ri — ii — n ■■ i FOR FIRE, LIFE & AUTOMOBILE INSURANCE Call Stewart A.
