shower stall or what your husband
means when he says it may be best to
leave an extra window open for the
night.
On a normal day, the two men drop
their game at the home, clean up and
then head off to work. The chore of
skinning the creatures is undertaken
after supper.
It takes them about five minutes to
skin out a muskrat and shape the pelt
over a drying board, whilea raccoon can
take up to half an hour.
Coon and rat skins are dried with the
fur in, while fox is dried on a board with
the fur out,
While color is a determining factor in
the prices paid for furs, the main
criteria for many furs is the length of
the guard hairs. These start to show as
the animals fur takes on extra length
for the winter months, and a couple of
weeks extra growth can mean double
the price.
As Larry points out, most trappers
realize that one prime pelt is often
worth three that are under quality, so
they confine their activities to times
when the furs are at their best.
While the two trappers try their hand
at most species and have a contract
with the Ausable Hayfield to take out
up to 10 beaver later this year, other
trappers confine their activities to one
species,
Ken Ottewell, for instance, enjoys
the challenge of fox and last year had
over 10 to his credit.
Novice Jeff Fuller and Doug Ray-
mond nabbed their first fox in their in-
itial try this year, giving them a thrill-
ing introduction to the sport.
While our outing proved slightly dis-
appointing as we saw little except emp-
ty traps, Larry called to indicate we
had been out oneday too early. The next
day they were rewarded with nine
muskrat, putting them near their goal
of 90, along with two coon and one over-
sized beaver.

there, we have mountains to
climb, they are hatred,
selfishness, jealousy, and
sin. We must dedicate
ourselves to God, and climb
these mountains, Maybe we
won't reach the top, but we
can try everyday.

I must apologize for an
error that appeared in the
personal column last week.
Ron Brintnell's name was
omitted as a Granton
Ontario Scholar when they
were congratulated at that
time. The fault was not
really mine as Ron's address
was given as RR 3, Lucan
instead of RR 3 Granton.
Sorry Ron, please accept our
congratulations.
When we shop Canadian,
Canada makes it.
When we shop Canadian, it's more
than a good idea. It's a great invest-
ment in our country's future. Every time
Canadians buy their own products,
they give Canadians work, Right here
in Ontario, manufacturing industries
employ about one million people.
That's 25% of all the jobs in Ontario.
When we shop Canadian, we
strengthen the economy of our prov-
ince and our country.
By purchasing products that
say "Made in Canada", we're develop-
ing and maintaining the industrial
strengths we need to compete in
world-wide markets.
And We're helping ourselves right
here at home by strengthening
Ontario's resources and assuring our
future growth.
So the next time you're buying
something, look for the symbol that
says "Made in Canada':

Minister of
