Even with tbe help of the brilliant ming of Dr. Ian MeT.

agree with them — but someday you
will,” he stated.

COWAN SPEAKS

Making the main address on the
question of adoption of a cow moose
season, Dr. Cowan prefaced his re-
marks by emphasizing that this sol-

“It was not fair,” Mr. Hansell
stated, but it accomplished its pur-

people took advantage of the act,
and people with small means that
had invested their savings in loans
lost out. But when times got better
