The Exeter Times-Advocate, 1972-10-19, Page 8R THE WORLD FLAT!! This statement would not have got you much of an argument hack In the 1400's--most people believed it. Of coigoe, Columbus and others have proved it wrong and we have come a 100g way in the explanation of our planet and universe. In the field of health, we have also made fantastic progress. Whooping cough, typhoid, diphtheria, bubonic plague and the fears that were associated with them have all but vanished. The reason?—medical explorer's have developed vaccines, antibiotics and a host of other miracul, .011S drugs that can prevent and cure such once dreaded afflictions. fl 1j n Bob Middleton, PhmB Stan Horrell, PhmB .

Mr. Shaw and many others like him seem to believe, that if hunting were banned, all game would be forever safe and no species would ever be en- dangered. It is too bad that these people are so misinformed! To begin with it takes a lot of money to keep our wildlife population up nowadays with the advancing civilization. I wonder how much people who do not hunt ^ould raise for that cause. Today, there are more whitetail deer in North America than 40 years ago. They have actually increased and extended their range. This would never have hap- pened without the hunters. The deer have lost their natural enemies such as the wolves and mountain lions. They were lost because of the advancing civilization and bounty system. Let's for a minute suppose all hunting were stopped. What do you think would happen to our whitetail deer? Well the pouchers would take their toll but most animals would starve to death. In the wilderness the deer would multiply and soon eat up all the available food, Then they would either starve or be taken by wolves who eat them alive! One bite at a time! In areas near civilization they would definitely starve. The predators would increase but because cattle are easier to catch than deer they would soon turn to them and only take the nearly dead deer. The deer which made it through the winter would be weakened and disease would strike. They would not be able to produce healthy offspring and the herd would suffer, When a species becomes en- dangered it's the sportsmen who do the work and flip the bill for getting it back to suitable numbers. The fur seal is one good example. This animal is of no importance to the sportsmen but when its numbers dropped they stepped in to help. If left to the money making fur trade they would surely meet the same fate of the passenger pigeon and the dodo. Let's not forget that it was money making which reduced the passenger pigeon and dodo. It was the market hunter not the sportsmen. When a species becomes en- dangered it is the sportsmen who cut back on the shooting, Look at the canvasback. This bird is low in numbers at the present time and the hunters have limited themselves to taking only one canvasback or redhead a day, The redhead is not in any trouble but, due to its resem- blence to the canvasback, the hunters don't want to ac- cidentally take any more than one canvasback. If people, like Mr. Shaw, are worried about the taking of a life they shouldn't be after the hunters! How many of them eat meat? The people like Mr, Shaw obviously buy it. Therefore, all he really does is_ hire someone to do his killing for him.! What makes the life of a deer or moose worth more than that of a. calf or Iamb anyway? Those who are worried about the suffering should stop and think about the insects that are sprayed in your garden and house. Don't they suffer agonizing deaths before they meet their end? Those people who think the sprays are the answer to. anything are responsiple for the present state of the Peregrine Falcon. They are also responsible About 12 people representing Zurich, }Jensen, Crediton, Chiselhurst and Exeter met in Trivitt Memorial Church Monday night at a meeting of the Children's Aid Society, The main purpose of the meeting was to plan the decentralization of the CAS Christmas Bureau.

Mrs. Eileen Currie led in the opening song of the W.A. Then she read the theme from the rainbow, the symbol of God's promise to all mankind of continuing seasons and harvests. The ladies then worked on a quilt. Luncheon was served at end of meeting. Friday evening the Pioneer Girls met at the parsonage under the leadership of Mrs. Thornton and two helpers, The girls are Twenty families of the Ausable River Nomads and several guests enjoyed a fall club campout. at Windmill Park, Fullerton last weekend. Highlights of the campout included a wine and cheese party Friday evening, games for the children and slides and a dance Saturday evening. Mrs, Norman Ford, Detroit and Mr. & Mrs. Howard Phelps, Gregory and Julie, Livonia, Michigan, visited over the weekend with Mrs. Frank Taylor. Mrs. Frank Taylor and Mrs. Norman Ford visited their cousin at the Green Gables Nursing Home, Parkhill on Saturday. Mrs. Margaret Grove, Mississauga, formerly of Exeter is a visitor at the home of her daughter and son-in-law, Mr. & Mrs. Jack Smith, Pryde Blvd., Exeter. for the death of a large number of eagles near Casper Wyoming area. Nevertheless the real danger to our wildlife is the misinformed anti-hunting people and the advancing civilization, No wildlife can live without proper habitat, It is the termer and land developer who 'are taking this away but on the other side of the fence we find the sportsmen struggling to replace the habitat and restore the number of wildlife removed by lack of habitat. concerned hunter, Bill McNutt Christmas. In some areas of the County, the Society has been the only source to which people can turn for assistance, In other areas, the Christmas Bureau has worked jointly with previously organized church, service club and other community groups, In the last two years, requests for assistance and referrals for assistance, combined with a generous response for offers of help, have indicated a need to To the editor! re - Mr. George Shaw Jr's letter! I hope Mr. Shaw stops and thinks what he is saying about moose, ignorance etc. in his letter. The next time he sits down to his table I hope he feels real proud when he takes a piece of meat on his plate to eat, Let him remember that some 'murderer' put it there for him. I hope he is a vegetarian. Only then he can stand and accuse some one of being a murderer. After all, porlebeef and fowl were all living at one time, too. I agree to the point of killing for regionalize the Christmas Bureau rather than continue to operate it from Goderich. By so doing, it is hoped that the needs of a particular community and surrounding area can be more adequately defined, and those willing to help in this annual endeavour can play a more ef- fective and personal role. The CAS hopes to set up depots in Clinton, Exeter, Goderich, Seaforth and Wingham. There are approximately 300 families in Huron County catered to by the CAS Christmas Bureau and the whole operation was getting too "large and unwieldy," said Mrs. Mervin Cudmore, She said the major problem was to find places in town where people could drop their donations of canned goods, clothing, toys or whatever. No official committee has been established yet to take care of the Exeter area, but Mrs.Cudmore said they want to be under way by the first of November. The first step 'is an interview with each of the families con- cerned to determine their special needs. Identities are kept strictly confidential, however, and the majority of CAS workers are aware only of the coded names of the people involved, Mrs. Cudmore said the CAS would like to have all or most of the parcels delivered by the secondweek in December, killing sake, is a little absurd, But We now have a nice supply of nice fresh meat for the winter. To us it isjust as good as beef or any other kind of meat. The department of Lands and Forests is a very good concern. If there was any danger of ex- tinction in these animals or inhumane slaughter they would soon step in and prevent it. Guns are an improvement over what the Indians had, true. But so is the car, our homes and everything we have, Myself, I'd sooner have any husband out hunting than I would have him drinking, gambling or using drugs which seems to be an interest of more and more every day, As to ignorance let him try getting a gun licence some time. You have to be pretty good to get one any more which is a good thing. I may be as biased in my opinion as Mr. Shaw but to each his own. Let see you answer this Mr, Shaw. Mrs. C.Dittmer, wife of a moose hunter.

Saturday a group of young people and Mr. Thornton went to the camp near Arthur to have a clean-up and work day. They were joined there by a group from Toronto and accomplished a good session of work. The morning service was in charge of Mr, Thornton. Rick Thornton led the singing. Mrs. J, Armitage and Mrs. Thornton sang a duet. The message was on the theme of the reward of per- sistent faith is the answer to prayer. The evening service was also in charge of Mr, E. Thornton, who led the singing. Douglas Butler sang a solo as did Marlene Butler. The message was on the Song of Solomon, that the bride in the song is typical of the bride of Christ, soon to be taken up to meet Him when He returns for His own, Holy Trinity Church, Anglican, Lucan, Ont. Last Sunday, Morning Prayer was read in Holy Trinity Church. The Music Director, Lois Legg presided at the organ for the service. Rev. R. A. Carson preached on the Church in Canada. He said the Church began 214 years ago when the Church was established in 1755 in Nova Scotia. There was loneliness and the drudgery of pioneer life, yet the people of God maintained their morale and steadily pushed forward to prosperity. "To them," Mr. Carson said, "we owe the existence of our Church." Planning to decentralize CAS Christmas bureau
