The Wingham Advance-Times, 1955-03-16, Page 9Consider Deer Hunt
and Arrow .
In Southern Ontario
Possibility of permitting deer hunt
ing with bow and arrow in some parts
of Southern Ontario is under considr
•ration by the Department of Lands
and Forests. The Department for
some time has been studying the situ
ation with regard to bow and arrow
hunting across the border in such
states as New Jersey and Michigan.
Hunting by archers is not prohibited
in Ontario but they have no special
privileges.
The Ontario Field Archers Associa
tion has long advocated some special

RED CROSS!
This year, your Red Cross needs $5,494,100.
This is the minimum amount required in 1955
tp. carry on the great humanitarian work that you do
through your Red Cross Society.
You may have noticed that each year this
amount shows a slight increase.
This is because each year the amount of aid
supplied by Red Cross in every one of its vital services
increases, too. As the population of Canada grows
greater, the ne^d is greater; as Red Cross improves and
adds to its services to Canadians, so does it need the
continued and growing support of Canadians every=
where.

Wingham Legion Members Will Canvass
THIS WEEK
Members of Wingham Canadian Legion will
call at your home during this week, March 14th to
ask for your contribution to the annual Red Cross
campaign for funds.
There are many agencies at work in the world
today which assist in the alleviation of human suffering.
BUT the Red Cross is the only one which has the
complete international organization to handle emer»
gencies no matter where they arise, without delay or
waste.

of a forge area for Exclusive use by
archers^ as well as a special-season.
Agreement ’ by farmers, however,
would play an important part in any
decision. .
Dr. C. H, D. Clarke, of the Fish and
Wildlife Division, says that one deer
is killed about every other day on the
highways pf heavily populated South
ern Ontario.
Such accidents involve damage to
cars and injury to drivers and pas
sengers. Farmers in Southern Ontario
have opposed gun hunting but are
thought to be more favourable to bow
and arrow as a safer means of reduc
ing the number of deer and the dam
age they cause. The question probably

Provincial Minister Lauds
Role of Weekly Newspapers
Hon. Jas. N. Allan, minister of high
ways for Ontario, paid tribute to the
weekly press of the province at the
recent annual meeting of the Ontario
Good Roads Association in Toronto.
Speaking of the history of the Good
Roads Association, Mr. Allan made
reference to the important part played
by the press of the Province in the
Association’s work.
The Minister said in part:
“In the past year, you have beep
celebrating the diamond jubilee of
your organization, for it was In 1894
that the Ontario Good Roads Associa
tion was born and chose Andrew Pat-
tullo, editor of the Woodstock Senti
nel, to be the charter president.
“Just sixty years later you elected
another Andrew to guide your destin
ies, but this time an outstanding rep
resentative of Ontario’s Weekly press.
I refer, of course, to our President,
Andrew Boyer, publisher-editor of
The Eastern Ontario Review at Vank-
leek Hill, Ontario.
“Most of you have had the oppor
tunity of reading The Royal Bank’s
monthly letter for January which dealt
with and was titled “Canada's Weekly
Newspapers.’’ Copies , were distributed
here as a tribute to Ontario’s weekly
newspapers and our president. „
"There is a very close tie between
the Ontario Department of High
ways and the weekly newspapers of
this province. They link up, editorally
and in news matter, with what we are
working out in partnership with
Municipal Road Authorities such as
county and township councils and the
administrations' of urban municipali
ties, large and small.
“The press of this Province also has
done a most admirable job in support
of provincial and local efforts aimed
at reducing traffic accidents. In that
fine effort, featured in both news and
editorial columns, the weekly press of
Ontario, including semi-weekly and
tri-weekly newspapers, has rendered
invaluable service. In the presence of
this great assembly of municipal lead
ers, I want to tender my thanks to
their publishers, editors and staffs
and, in doing so, express the hope
that all the community service rend
ered by newspapers, radio, television

and other organs of publicity will re
ceive the appreciation and co-opera
tion which they sp richly merit.
“We also like to think that sections
of the Highway Traffic Act which
guard our highways from unregulated
development of various kinds not only
protects scenes of rural charm or nat-
rural grandeur, but also work to the
advantage of both daily and weekly
newspapers’ revenue.
“Ontario’s free press, made up of
daily and weekly newspapers and
other organs of publicity including
radio and television, has grown amaz
ingly since 1894, and nowhere has that
growth been more to the interest of
our people generally than in the com
munity field of our weekly news
papers.’’
