And they hope county residents will agree with them. This fall marked the first time since 1975 thV'at there has been an open season for deer (apart from s deer an archery season) in the area under the jurisdiction of the Wingham MNR office. Hunters were allowed out in the parts of Turnberry, Howick and Minto townships north of Highway 87 as. well as Carrick, Culross, Kinloss and Huron townships in Bruce County. Between, 30 and 40 deer were harvested by hunters during the four day season, Nov. 6-9, about the same number that falls victim each year to traffic. )YF r- .0V tt • Thirty fonr deer were checked by MNR officers on their patrols during the open season and they estimate roughly a'15 to 20 per cent success ratio for about 200 hunters in the area. Ministry officials don't, feel the hunt represents a threat to a healthy deer population in the county and they would like to see it established on a regular basis, -perhaps every other year. However they are concerned there are those around the area ANOTHER ROAD KILL—Bob Pegg, a conservation officer at the Wingham office of the ministry of natural resources, looks over a deer which was killed when struck by a car. This is the 17th deer killed on the roads in this area so far this year and the road kills usually go up in the fall as the deer start to move around more. Ministry officials believe a properly managed hunting season will help control deer populations and prevent some of this waste. themployment� ce is now more, to responsive diin Ontario. To make your Unemployment Insurance Program more responsive to the special needs of different areas of Canada, there are now 48 economic regions for UI. (Up to now, there were 16 regions.) With this change, UI benefits will more accurately reflect your local employment conditions. It's all part of a plan announced over a year ago. Each of these new 48 regions will have its own unemployment rate. This will set the length of time a claimant must have worked to become eligible for Un- employment Insurance benefits. And it will govern the length of benefits as well.

The length of time a claimant must work to get UI remains the same. It varies from 10 to 14 weeks, depending on the unemployment rate where the claimant lives.

John Dobell, district biologist for the ministry, said this week all indications point to a very good deer population here, probably near the maximum the habitat can support. He noted that 81 per cent of the deer checked during the hunt were either fawns, born ' lash spring, or yearlings, born the previous spring. This is in- dicative of a very healthy population since it shows most fawns survived last winter and there was good reproduction again this year. Bob Pegg, a conservation of- ficer, added that most road kills are also fawns or yearlings, backing up the hunt findings. Since deer in this area don't "yard up" during the winter and are consequently difficult to count and in the absence of an annual hunt, road kills are one of the only population indicators the ministry can use, he explained. Unfortunately road kills represent both a tragic waste of the deer population and a danger to motorists. Most deer'hit are so badly mutilated they can't be used for food and have to . be buried, Mr. Pegg said. The carcasses which can be salvaged are given to the ministry of community and social services. He also noted the average cost of repairs to a vehicle in a deer - car collision runs around $800. While the ministry doesn't claim hunting will completely solve the problem of road kills it does hope it will cut down the numbers since the deer will be under less pressure to move C LAiIRTO1E ,:. .

Another interesting finding- by the ministry during the hunt this fall was that the large majority almost 90 per • cent—of the hun- ters unters checked were local residents and many of the remaining Wm' ' cent were friends or relatives .of residents. This tends to disprove the fears that an open season in. Huron will bring in a massive: influx of outsiders. And, contrary to the fears of some farmers, there were very few problems with hunters. Only one complaint was received by the ministry ' during the season regarding hunters trespassing on land and no 'livestock was shot. No decision has yet been whether there will be an open season for deer again next, year, but it is being discussed. Ministry, officials hope to coordinate any local season with seasons . in Bruce and Grey counties, as, was done this year, to avoid excessive hunting, pressure in any One area. On'a different note, Mr. Pegg reminded pet owners that it isan offence under the Game and Fish Act to let dogs run at large during the closed season for deer:Dogs have been responsible for numerous deer killings during past winters and the law ern - powers a conservation officer to shoot any dog found running deer. )le of the �Canad an comllelting rote) lalonall ; year later, ,they Pere fior d -- amid rumors and tail ,party gossip.

Samuel Johnston, the counsel- lor at . the Huronia Regional Centre 'in Orillia who was con- victed off kicking a mentally re- tarded woman in the face, has been transferred from the Min- istry of Community and Social Services to a position in another ministry, and will no longer have direct contact with residents in any provincially run institution. As a result of this settlement, Keith Norton has withdrawn a bill which would have overturned the grievance board's decision and a ruling by the Ontario Supreme Court , ordering the Government to reinstate Mr. Johnston as a residential coun- sellor. Ontario legislation to retaliate against restrictions imposed by Quebec on construction workers passed second reading — ap- proval in principle — in the Legislature this week. Bill 136, which allows the Labor Ministry to impose residency require- ments on Quebec construction workers who want jobs in On- tario, was sent to committee for further study. The minority Conservative government backed off just enough on the controversial Can- trakon development to avoid a ,. defeat in the Legislature that could have been considered a motion of nonconfidence. Housing Minister Claude Ben-, nett told the Legislature that he will arrange a meeting between Cantrakoneitd1;,khich..wants;,to build a conference centre.on the Niagara Escarpment, and rate- payers opposed to; the develop- ment. Mr. Bennett did not say he would reverse his approval-of"the development, made over the .ob- jections of the Niagara Escarp- ment Commission. scarp=went-Commission. After Mr. Bennett read a'letter from Cantrakon's lawyers saying the company would consider other sites that met its require- ments, Liberal Leader Stuart Smith said his party would drop the motion to' reduce the min- istry's spending. Ontario Premier William Davis ordered Cabinet ministers not to communicate with judges, Crown attorneys or provincial prose- cutors, or members of quasi-ju- dicial bodies about matters be- fore them, except through the of- fice of the minister responsible. The guidelines on ministerial conduct were released the same' day as the report of a senior law officer which concluded that former Solicitor -General George Kerr telephoned an assistant Crown attorney primarily' to influence the sentencing of a con- stituent. Mr. Kerr resigned in Septem- ber over the matter. Mr. Davis suggested the guide- lines apply to all members of the Legislature„ although he cannot issue an order to that effect. He said he would ask the standing committee of procedural affairs to prepare recommendations for the conduct of MPP's in dealing with the judiciary. Tax problems in small business topic for management seminar The Federal Business Develop- ment Bank's management serv- ices will hold a management seminar for small business in Vanastra, Clinton, at the Sand- piper Inn on 'December 6. The day's program will deal with taxation as it applies to the small business person, an area of grow- ing concern these days when every penny counts, and several members of the local business community are expected to at- tend the seminar. Using the case study method, and with the expert advice of a chartered accountant, they will examine problems of taxation in a small business, the correct methods of tax calculation and the steps a small business person can take to reduce the amount of tax payable. Some of the problems to be dis- cussed during the day include the choice of a year-end, the tax imp ications of incorporation, dividend payments, the employ- ment of a spouse, and year-end bonuses, among others. The goal of this seminar is to provide the small business per- son with an insight into some of the basic problems. Further, it is intended to help him -her to recognize ' problems when they arise, so that they can then seek the appropriate advice. "Taxation : an Introduction" is the latest in the Federal Business Development Bank's popular se- ries of management seminars for small business. In 1977, more than 12,000 operators of small businesses across Canada bene- fitted from this program. In 1978, more than 20,000 attended. These seminars are only one of the bank's many management services. Also available are management courses, a complete small business information serv- ice and management counselling. rt
