Pope, Minister of Natural Resources has sent out an $1 -page report which was presented to the Standing Committee on Resources Development. Although some of it may be "old hat", it is a good indication of what has been done, and what direction the Ministry is heading in regards to our Natural Resources. The next few columns are going to be a summary of different sections of that report, so you too may know whatis going on. It may be one of the few times we get a really honest evalua- tion from the Government. Thisfirst section concerns the future of hunting and wildlife our Province. We are making good progress in our ma- jor wildlife management programs. In many eases this. has been -.due._ to the ex- cellent communications and whole -hearted co-operation we have been able to establish with the hunting community. Our decision a couple of years ago to ex- tend our wildlife management unit system to cover the entire province has been a suc- cess._The units have served to standardize. the information on hunting seasons for all species of game. After the July moose draw, hunters were advised whetthhei they had been successful in their bits to obtain one of 38,040 Bull/Cow validation tags allotted for the 1983 season: Almost immediately after the tags were sent out, we discovered an error in the com- ptlter program that had been; used in the draw. This program was designed by ' a private computer firm, contracted by the Ministry following public tender to conduct the draw and the mailing. The error occurred as a result of feeding names along with birth dates into the com- puter to ensure no double applications were made. In some of our Wildlife Management Units, however, this resulted in a strong bias toward older hunters. This was par- ticularly noticeable In W1VIUs where a large number of hunters applied for a siria�ll . number of available moose tags.

The metric field was officially adopted by the Canadian Amateur Football Association in its 1982 rule book. Studies, show there are no Major differences in the game. The metric field of 100 m x 60.m fits easily Goalposts remain the same, so there is no reason to move them when converting ex- isting fields. Making a first down in 10 m re- quires about an,extra stride. There are no rule changes required in con- verting to metric football, except that designations of distances change from yards to metres, as in the following cases: dnto-conventioital.__eanadian fields: _ The--- -A-team iust-gain-1-0-rrl-in:;three •downs•to•- achieve. a first down., — me point of kickoff is the 40-m line. — .The convert attempt will originate no closer than the 5-m line. — After a single point, the ball•will be scrim- maged from the 30-m line. - On punt returns, the receiver must be allowed 5 m. width is virtually the same, and the field is shorter by about a football's length at each end.
