000 to reopen Huron deer kill
After January's discussions at
Huron County council concerning
wolves and deer, three
representatives of the Ministry of
Natural Resources attended the
February session of county
council, They were Rene Jones,
district biologist; Herb Clark,
recreation supervisor; and Roy
Bellanger, predator control of-
ficer.
Huron County councillors
wanted the facts about deer and
wolves here, but much of the
news they received was not all
that well accepted,
For instance, Jones told council
that in his opinion, there were
between, 2,000 and 3,000 deer in
the county. Reeve Anson
McKinley, Stanley, disagreed,
"I would think there's not
anything like that many deer in
the county," argued McKinley,
"I would say there were more
hunters than there were deer."
By way of explanation, Jones
told McKinley that in the Bruce
Peninsula, where there is a deer
season every year, not many deer
are visible.
"I've spent two hunting
seasons there and, have yet to see
a deer," said Jones. "But they
take a lot of deer there every
year."
The numbers of deer in the
county are estimated by other
means, Jones said. Road Kills,
for instance, is a valid indicator.
In 1970, 13 deer were reported
killed on the roads in Huron but in
1973 the number had more than
doubled to 30.
Deer tracks also are a reliable
calculator when estimating
population in Huron. Bellanger
said that in Hay and Stanley
Townships, the home territory of
Reeve McKinley there are many
deer.
"Just walk the river flats,"
Bellanger told McKinley. "There
are more deer than you think."
Bellanger went on to say that
there is illegal hunting going on in
this area of the county as well as
other districts.
The last deer season was in 1971
when 566 hunters took to the field.
They saw 200 deer shot at 100 and
harvested 51.
Ministry officials felt there
were sufficient deer in Huron to
Warrant a season. They
suggested a Season for archers
from. October 29 to November 25
or a gun season from November

11 to 13,
Officials said it would permit
hunters to take deer legally and
would provide "recreation for a
segment of the population,"
"Who causes the most
damage? asked Deputy-reeve
Gerry Ginn, Goderich Township,
"The deer or the hunters?"
Ginn was told the only way for
farmers to keep hunters off their
land was to pest signs which may
be seen froM any point of entry,
Most courteous hunters ask
permission before entering a
farm, however,
Council learned that the
Ministry has the authority to
announce a deer season, but
added that in most cases, the
approval of the municipalities
involved is desirable. Council
registered no further opposition
to the proposal.
The conversation then switched
to wolves, Here again, council
was surprised to learn that in the
opinion of the Ministry officials,
the wolf population was not all
that high.
While the Ontario government
has discontinued wolf bounty, it
was pointed out, it does com-
pensate farmers for loss of
livestock if it can be proven the
damage was done by wolves.
Bellanger said that when an
animal is found, the farmer
should call the Ministry of
Natural Resources at Wingham
(Zenith 92000). An inspector from
that department will examine the
carcass to determine whether or
not a wolf was the killer. If so, a
stock evaluator is called in to
estimate the value of the animal
lost and a claim filed with the
government.
There were no claims in 1972 or
1973, said Bel'anger.

The 99th annual meeting of the
Hay Township Farmer's Mutual
Fire Insurance Company,
Saturday showed that 1973 has
been the best year in the history
of the organization, as far as
profit and growth are concerned.
About 100 policyholders attended
the annual in the Hay Township
Zurich.
In addressing the gathering,
president Arnold McCann said
that "1973 saw the amount of
insurance at risk increased by
over eleven and a half million
dollars." Ile added that of more
importance is the fact that the
reserve for the policy-holders
protection increased by almost
$70,500 on the year's operation.
The president went on to ex-
plain that in 1973 the company
experienced an underwriting
gain of over $30,000 and had
financial revenue of almost
$32,000. Total assets of the
company are now in excess of
$511,500.
Mr. McCann paid tribute to the
agency force and office staff for
the part they played in the growth
of the company. He also com-
mended the policy-holders for
their diligence for keeping losses
to a minimum during the year,
In closing Mr. McCann drew
the meeting's attention to the fact
that 1974 will be the centennial
year of the company, and he
pointed out that the directors
have commenced preparations
befitting the occasion.
The entire slate of directors
were returned to office for the
year. They are president elect,
Donald Campbell, vice-president,
elect, Cecil Desjardine; direc-
tors, Arnold McCann, Elmore
McBride, Mel Webster, Len Erb,
Max Turnbull, Reinhold Miller,
and Ted Steinbach. Secretary-
manager of the company is John
Consitt,

TOWNSHIP OF HAY AUDITOR'S REPORT 1973 Pulling someone out of a car
wreck can do him more harm
than good, warns the Industrial
Accident Prevention Association.
Unless there is risk of fire,
casualties should be left where
they are until help comes, and
they shouldn't be twisted or
turned. Take pride in knowing
what to do. Get first aid training
from the St. John Ambulance
Association.
TO: The Members of Council, and Ratepayers of the Corporation of the
Township of Hay
I have examined the 1973 financial statements of the Corporation of
the Township of Hay and its local boards, which are listed on the
attached Index. My examination included a general review of the
accounting procedures and such tests of accounting records and other
supporting evidence as I considered necessary in the circumstances.
Of the total charges shown above, an amount of $45,029
was paid from the general revenues of the municipality and
is included in expenditure, classified under the appropriate
headings, An amount of $43,827 was recovered from Hay Munici-
pal Telephone System for which the related net long term
liability was incurred.
2. BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION
The Consolidated Balance Sheet reflects the assets and liabilit-
ies of the revenue fund, the capital fund and all reserve funds
of the municipality. Trust fund assets administered by the
municipality amounting to $396 and the assets and liabilities
of the local boards have not been consolidated.
In my opinion these financial statements present fairly the financ-
ial position of the Corporation of the Township of Hay and its local
boards as at December 31st, 1973, and the results of their operations
for the year then ended, in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted for Ontario municipalities applied on a basis
consistent with that of the preceding year. CAUGHT 3. NET LONG TERM LIABILITIES
