THURSDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1972 Nesters out as season opens Heavy rains and cold winds railed . to dampen the en-' thusia lit of the duck hunters on the ,opening day of the season at the 'LutherMarsh .

The noon shoot was brief and few hunters Are successful as ducks soon climbed out of range of the gunners. Shooting during the afternoon was also inter- mitant but the weather 'was clear and cold for the evening flight which was good and many hunters were successful in bagging their count. Many species of duck were harvested such as Mallard, blacks, Blue and Green Winged Teal and Scaup, and thirteen (13) persons were apprehended for violations under the Migratory Birds' Act, Prior to 1971 the Management Area was open to all hunters and at times hunters numbered in excess of 2,000 in the Marsh.

Robert Aylesworth of Strat ford changed from a businessman to a craftsman before he turned 40 years old. While involved in the business world, on weekends he started hunting for semi-precious stones and for some time he purchased commercial settings on which to mountthein but he soon saw that these did not do justice to the stonesso he took courses for silversmiths in various centres and gave us his job. Now he makes beautiful rings, bracelets and other jewelleryofor his antique, store in Stratford. Everything he makes is a new creation. Stratford's only silver- smith, Mr. Aylesworth does custom work for other people, but will only do the work if he has a free hand. Another guest craftsman is to be Lloyd Campbell of St. Thomas whose handcrafted curios made from Ontario beach stones he calls "Rockies". He and his family collect the beach stones and assemble them into such animals as turtles, ducks, various breeds of dogs, 'wall plaques, pendants .of Black Beard, the'pirate, etc: Each .one is a novel piece no two -alike and they are all made of rock.of .various varieties.

Queen's University professor Reginald Clark worked out the figures for more than 200 high school. students attending the second Environment Ontario Straight Goods conference in Kingston August 28-30. " "Think of this as all there is for you, ' ur children and your children's children and you'd probably use it carefully," Dr. Clark told the teen-age delegates from 'across Ontario. Provocative ideas, challenging, questions and the tough, "Show me" attitude. of the young delegates -- That's what makes The ,Straight Goods work. The students were invited t6 draw on the information resour- •ces of three dozen represen- tatives of government, industry, education and action groups. And they were' advised from the start not to take ,anything for granted -- not to be little robots taking a party line back to their schools. They took that advice. In- stead of just listening, they did some thinking and came up with their own viewpoints. They challenged industry and government for not doing enough. They challenged a Pollution Prohe spokesman on Probe water tests that disagreed with Ontario Health Ministry tests They challenged the univer- sity for providing throwaway plastic cups and adding -to waste. , On this one, they tried to work out an answer on pied own. A note on the informal bulletin board urged students to bring , the glasses from their rooms instead of using the throwaway cups. • They heckled each other for using the throwaways. And they learned that solving problems is not always simple. The next coffee break, they found glasses were too hot to hold. And the students who used paper napkins to protect their hands were reminded that napkins can be a garbage problem -too. Three days of digging into en- vironmental issues left them convinced that it was not enough to just recommend ac- tion on specific problems such as pollution cleanup. They recom- mended across-the-board change. One resolution concluded: "We affirm the need for drastic change toward a societal rather than an individual way of life," And before they left to share what they have learned with their schools, they voted to set up the machinery for another conference next year.
