National Wild Life Week is
Much different from other:P specia
Weeks because no on,e i8 asked to
buy or join anything, but the genera-
tions to corrle will be on the receiving
end.
It is a\veek set/aside by an act
of Parliament to always Ian on the
week in which Jack Miner's birth
ay falls—April loth. It was created
for a twofoldPur"p ose; one was to
honor the late Jack I1/Liner vvho gave
his life arld his income and died a
poormin for the cause of conser-
vation, and the other was to try and
-awaken -thepuh1ic-awareness of the-
need of conseryi.ng our natural
resources for the generations which
follow us..,
April 10th was such an ap-
propriate time of the year when
wild life, was returning to Canada
to nest and raise its young. So
popular was the suggestion of hon-
oring Jack. Miner in this Way that -
when the three readings were giyen
the bill in the House of Commons
and Senate and the vote was taken
it -was the first act to ever pass
both houses unanimously without
an opposing vote.
Life Week
The Right onorable Leslie
Frost, , Q.C., LLD D.C.L., former
Prime Minister of ntario, on April
i1,1960, referred toJack Miner as
"Canada's greatest naturalist' One
year ago the Minister of Education
of Alberta in -paying tribute to him
referred to Jack Miler as-"Gariada*s
greatest and mosflaved naturalist".
Mr. H. J. 13. Gough, -.that great edu-
cationalist in Newfoundland, re-
ferred to Jack Miner as "our na-
tion's
greatest conservationist".
How fitting 'it was that the mem-
bers of the House of Commons and
menthe •s " of the Canadian Senate,
should proclaim the week of April
10, in each year, to be known as
National Wild Life Week, which
many leaders refer to as -"Jack
Miner Week".
The ten provincial prime mini-,
sters, the -ten ministers of. educa-
tion and the ten ministers of fish
and game have all been asked to
help promote the week through
their various departmental channels
backing up the Federal Govern-
ment's proclamation of April 17,
1947.

according to the Ontario Safety
League. Quoting from GM's book-
let, "RIGHT Behind the _Wheel",
the OSL says that the reckless or
discourteous driver tends to make
certain harsh, distinctive noises that
reveal his dangerous presence ' as
clearly as the rattles, growls, ,hisses
and buzzes of ' other menaces.
The .-favourite noise' maker of
the immature driver—like that of a
child or a New Year's Eve reveller—
is the horn.
s While the horn-, is a valuable
safety device, it is no substitute for
caution. The immature driver, how-
• ever, instead of using the horn to
avoid trouble, uses it as a - trouble
maker. He blasts' away as though
the sound waves could miraculously
disintegrate all obstacles in his path.
For him, .the horn is also a con-.
venient and loud substitute for
angry yelling at pedestrians, or the
driver ahead. And, of course, this
type,of driver considers the horn far

achieved by jack -rabbit starts, skid-
