Everyone wants to surround himself and his
family with objects of lasting beauty, meaning and
value - to own with pride and pass on as valuable
heirlooms to future generations. There can be no
better heirloom than beautiful professionally
framed reproductions of the world's greatest art.
It isn't difficult to list the world's great artists
and their works. Their names spring
instantly to everyone's mind, because
what makes a fine artwork is
its ability to have a lasting impact
on each new generation.
Fine art reproductions of a
superior quality require
a framing treatment also of
timeless beauty. At the Raintree
we specialize in this
calibre of fine J
craftsmanship in creating
your personal heirlooms.
We offer r
over 2,CXX) of the world's
greatest art achievements, j
available throuqh catalogues. j®
And an equally impressive UuL
spectrum of
framing treatments.

finest is always a
greater investment
initially. But what single
accessory in your home
will reward you
as much and endure
the whims of fashion
so long.

Pay tribute to sportsman
working on rabies project

One Twenty Eight Albert, Clinton 482 3871
This weeks column is a
tribute to local sportsmen
and one of the projects he
believes in quite strongly.
His name is Joe Minderlein.
Joe is well known to most
of the older residents of the
area and I think that it is
important for a lot of young
people to follow his footsteps.
First of all he has got in
volved in many worthwhile
programs pertaining .to
conservation and wildlife
management. He was in
strumental in organizing
Zurich area sportsmen into a
gun club.
Joe himself was one of the
first to raise pheasants for
release in Hay township and
it was through his en
couragement that the South
Huron Pheasant Association
was set up. This organization
releases pheasants in
Stephen and Usborne
townships.
Joe Minderlein now
resides in the village of
Zurich. Heart trouble has
forced him to give up living
on his farm south east of
there. He has given up
pheasant raising and most of
his dogs.
Naturally his hunting and
general outdoor activities
has suffered and this is
presently his concern.
He has, for the last 10
years, worked in the
Ministry of Natural
Resources rabies research
program. The problem is due
to his health, he is unable to
continue and is concerned a
responsible replacement

In talking to him this week,
I could sense his deep love
for the red fox. This is
animal which is most
tensively involved in
rabies program.
Heexplained to me that the
most of his work involved
capturing fox pups 30 to 50
per year and dropping baits
which are drugged to im
munize the animals against
rabies.
The fox pups are generally
dug out of their dens and
carefully transferred to their
hew quarters at the Wildlife
Research Station at Maple.
Many people object to the
removal of these pups
claiming that there are not
enough left to reproduce but
foxes often give birth to eight
to twelve pups.
Generally only five dens
will yield 50 pups and that is
not many for three town
ships.
Furthermore/if a female
fox raises half of her pups,
she is running average; so
half those pups caught would
die if not captured and would
be lost to the winter anyway.
These pups are cared for
and studied at the Maple
centre. When they are in-
noculated against rabies,
collared with £ transmitter
and released into the wild.
These foxes help reduce
the rab'ies problem and
contribute greatly to the
management program by
showing the biologists much
about their movements.
Those shooting a fox with a
transmitter collar are
requested to turn it over to
the Ministry of Natural
Resources. They will be
informed of all the foxes
movements and his history
shortly after doing so along
with a cheque for $75.
Not all these foxes
released into our &rea
usually several are.
Anyone interested
continuing with this work is
requested to write Jan Watt,
Wildlife Research Station,
P.O. Box 110 Maple Ontario,
LOJ 1EO or call Joe Min
derlein in Zurich. By the way
the pay for the pups is $15
each if unharm'’'’,
Joe also would ke to have
it pointed out that foxes are
beneficial to farmers. Their
main food supply is mice and
ground hogs only rarely do
they stoop to chickens. So
remember that if you know
of a fox den don’t kill the
pups or disturb it. If
want them removed,
Joe.
Another point
remember is that fox pelts
are only of value from late
November to February so
why kill them any other time
of year.
As for Joe, well he still
runs his hound on foxes but
rarely will he bother to shoot
one. Especially now that the
females are getting closer to
the time when they will have
their pups.
