"The purpose of this program is tp develop a baiting system capable of delivering biologically active materials, such as vaccines, to foxes in the future," Mr. Bernier said. In the Current program, both ground and air placement will be used by local trappers and Ministry fish and wildlife staff to get the baits into areas inhabited by foxes. Fresh hamburger topped 38 baits in last year's tests. It was best in all aspects but especially lent itself to mass production. The baits contain a small amount of tetracycline, an antibiotic commonly used for controlling bacterial infections. When 'eaten, tetracycline enters the circulatory system and is deposited in the bones and teeth of the animal. Tissues examined under an ultraviolet microscope fluoresce a golden-yellow color. Yellow fluorescence in bones and teeth indieates that the animal has eaten the bait. Last year, 30 percent to 70 percent of the foxes examined, from different experimental areas had eaten baits. This year's aim is to increase the efficiency of the baiting system and reduce costs for the large-scale application. Each of the baits is marked with a label which states: "Do not open. 'Ministry of ' Natural Resources. This bag contains bait for foxes. It is not harmful to animals or humans. When found, please notify the local office or phone for further information to: Area 416-832-2261." WHITE BEAN GROWERS Make The Farmers' Elevator Wor• ort ou!

One of the !tors in the most recent trial stated that an attempt had been made to bribe her. This raisesthe possibility that other members of he jury may also have been pproached. This incident throws cloak of suspicion over all 'three fMorgentaler's trials and a full nquiry must be carried out. In addition, there appears to be evidence of intimidation of the ury due to the following incident which took place at the court on aturday, September 18, the last day of the trial: 1, At, 12 o'clock the jury reported to the presiding judge, Jacques Ducros, that it could not reach a verdict. 2, Judge Ducros advised the ury'to recess for lunch and return t2p.m. to continue its delibera- ions. During lunch a photogra- her and reporter, the latter of whom is a known supporter of Morgentaler, photographed the arors, who became - very disturbed and reported the inci- dent to the Judge. They indicated, hat they had been intimidated by having been photographed, apparently fearing that the picture could be used to identify them after the trial. 3. At 3 p.m. the jury began deliberations again and half an hour later, at 3:30 p.m. it was suddenly announced that a decision had been reached. That decision was "not guilty." It is in the interest of the Canadian judicial system that a public ,inquiiy, be held in this use, as the incorruptibility of the ury is a cornerstone of our ystern of justice. All Canadians o are concerned about the sanctity of the jury system, and the protection of the personal afety of these and future jury entLers, will no doubt join in ur demand for a public inquiry.
