for some years now, having at
one time served as the
secretary for the local Rod and
Gun, under the watchful eye of
Vie Bryant. It was during this
time F bad the opportunity to
attend “a convention of the
Federation of Fish and Game
clubs. That was an_ experience
that I wish every-one con-
cerned with conservation of our
wild-tife could enjoy. They were
then, and probably still are,
hammering at the Dept. of Rec.
and Con. for some much needed

1 have been around the]

If there was a model act out of
the bunch I received, fhe
nomination would have to go to
Ontario. Concise, clear com-
plete and put in a book that is
easy to read, The coverage is
good; from laws governing the
propagation of frogs to hunting
cow-birds. That should show
how thorough they are, and‘in
spite of that, the act should be
easy to enforce in the field.
Manitoba has a good act, well
written, with very little left to
speculation of ‘Orders In
Council’, They may get a bit
windy in parts of the act, but 1

changes in the Wildlife Act. | suppose that must be accepted,

Some of the changes they fought
for are still hot law in B.C. and
that conference was held in
1962,

In mulling over these facts
and always on the search tor
something to write about, I
thought it would be
interesting to take the B.C.
Wildlife Act and use it as a base
on which to write a good Act.
Not wanting to take all the
credit for writing the best game
act in Canada, 1 wrote to, many
of the other provinces to collect
the gems that their wizards had
written, 1 found many things,
some good, some weird, some
funny and some I can’t un-
derstand.

With the preliminaries now
out of the way, I shall now poke
my neck out and commence to
fill you good people in on what is
good and bad in the world of
Canadian Game Acts.

After reading a few of the
Acts I quickly forgot the idea of
writing out an act that I thought
would bea dandy; there is just
too much materia] in the Acts to
do that in the space I have here.
The next change in plan was to
forget that [ had ever seen or
considered the B.C, Act as a
model or a base for anything. I
then had the task of finding a
model by sorting through the
acts that were sent to me from
Newloundland-- a very good act
in most respects, but it is in the
Newlie dialect or some such
strange tongue, and it makes
for strange reading.
~ Nova Scotia wrote theirs on a’
postage stamp they folded, but
the microscope proved there
were some good items in it.
Theirs, as were most others, are

‘ eondensations of the act as.

legislated;so the, size depends
on the amount of evaporation
their printers used.

Quebec has a good act,
printed in a very informative
booklet, but here too, it was left
in the condenser just a bit too
long. The basic ideas they do
have should give them good
contro] of their wild-life, and
you do get a lot of book

coming from the prairies. I'd
like to pul in a plug for the NDP
government there, but [ dare
not because the minister in
charge of wriling it did not sign
the document, (It might have
been written by Stanfield)
Saskatchewan has a good act,

Jon a parallel with Ontario and

Manitoba, They have taken the
fur bearers and all that pertains
to them out of the Game Actand
have written up the ‘Fur Act’,
which I did not receive.

That completes the list I
received. I wrote lo Washington
state for a copy of theirs, but
they apparently can’t decipher
my Canadian typewriter (made
in Japan) because they for-
warde d my letter to Victoria
and the Department there sent
me (wo copies of B.C.’s Wildlife
Act,

Since | scrapped the idea of
using the B.C. Act as a model
the best way fo go now is to
point out the things that are not
in the act, but are things that I
and the other provinces con-
sider to be important, I trust
that everyone realizes that the
B.C. Wildlife was re-written
with the express idea of keeping
the act to the very bare
necessities to avoid confusion
and that all other legislation be
through ‘Orders in Council’.
That plan worked swell as far as
eliminating confusion in the
public sector was concerned
simply because the public was
ignorant of the orders in
council. But in the department
itself there is some confusion as
may be witnessed when two or
more oificials of the depart-
ment try to answer the same
question.

1 agree with you, enough of -
this fooling ardund, lets get on .

‘with the'comparision:*"-°
The beginning should be the
convention of Fish and Game

+ Clubs and some of the proposals

they brought up in 1962.-As I
remembered here where 2
items of considerable concern,
the waste of edible game meat,
and some sort of hunters in-
surance, the premium to be
included in the licence fees.
Speaking of the first item,

Frank Howard “We must ‘get the
small operator back in business”

Frank Howard, NDP can-
didate for Skeena said today in
Houston that the Federal
of Regional
Economic Expansion should be
prepared to assist small Joggers
and sawmill operators to get
back into business and thus help
in the orderly development and
use of our forests,

Mr. Howard said “While I
have many criticisms. of the
rules governing the Department
of Regional Expansions J still
think it could be of great use in
assisting the small logger and
sawmill operator in our area.”

“In economic terms the
logging and sawmill industry is
labour intensive. In other words
it employs a large number of
people per dollar invested. It
seems to me that we must get:
the small operator back, into
business for he employs local
works and spends his money
locally.’’

“Because we have a
monopolistic situation existing

that monopoly and I have been

that this will be done as quickly
as possible.”

“In the meantime,” con-
cluded Mr. Howard, ‘the

ment should be preparing to.
move in both to hejp those few"
small operators and be ready
for what I hope will be a
dramatic upswing’ in the local

Newfoundland, Alberta,
Quebec, Saskatchewan and
Alaska expressly forbid the
hunter to allow the meat of a
game animal to be wasted. The
ery that is raised in B,C. against
such a law is that guides would
have to charge higher fees in
order to comply with these
restrictions. They say, too, that
parts of B.C. are so remote that
game meat cannot be suc-
cessfully transported out of the
back country.

I’m sure that all that talk
comes from the hind end of a
horse. If there is any place more
remote that northern Quebec,
Labrador and Newfoundland, it
won't be found in B.C. yet they

‘forbid the wastage of game

meat, And what the heck, must
the ‘trophy hunters’ that shoot a
bullmoose on the road be
allowed to leave the meat there,
just because a guide at Lower
Post might have trouble getting
some meat out. The two
situations are worlds apart and
the law can be made flexible
enough to cover both situations.

On the matter of insurance to
cover damages or injuries

THE HERALD, TERRACE, eo

arising from hunting situations
l confess that I do not know the
reasons why B.C. has avelded
the issue for 10 years. Quebe ,c
Manitoba and Saskatchewan all
havea form of insurance though
the plan differs in that they will
cover and hew they are ad-
ministered. Quebec covers
persons hurt in hunting ac-
cidents. but Manitoba and
Saskatchewan tend. to stress
damage caused to farmers,
property owners and their
property. though they also
cover hunting accidents.

That covers the main points
that the Federation has been
fighting for. One other battle of
theirs has been partly won and
that is hunter-training. B.C.
now has hunter-training
legislation, but even that needs
more tightening up.

NOTE: Due to the length of Mr.
Watmough's column it will have
to be continued in next week's
Herald. ,
..Next week Les talks about
fire-arm control, trapping and
the growing problem of ATV's
and Airplanes in conservation.

Frank Howard...“Federal government

predicts that food

prices will double

in the next five years’

Frank Heward, N.D.P.
Candidate for Skeena, said
today in Telkwa that an agency
of the federal government had
predicted that food prices would
probably double in the next five
years yet the Liberal govern-
ment choose to ignore the
warning.

Mr. Howard said “In the
spring of this year Statistics
Canada, an agency of the
federal government, predicted
that if the cost of living con-
tinued to rise in the future at
the rate it was rising this spring
then food prices would double in
the next five years.”

“The sameful part o f all
this,” said Mr. Howard, “was
that the Trudeau government
said it would rather wait and
see what happened.”

“Now we know what has
happened. The cost of living, as
predicted by Statistics Canada,
has continued to rise at an
accelerated rate wth food prices
showing the strongest in-
crease,” said Mr. Howard, ™.”

“The next cost of- living

fro m Hazelton to Stewart and
from Stewart to Watson Lake.

every fall and we should not be
mislead into thinking there is a
general decline.”

“T Know” said Mr. Howard,
“that the farmer is not causing
this upward move of food price s
and neither is the labour
movement, but the real] culprit
is the huge vertically integrated
food chain that racks up profits
every time foodstuffs move
from one part of the chain to
another."

“Howard is a maverick and
on occasion has implied that
he’s more. socialist than
N.D.P.”’ Mitchell went on, ‘‘It
doesn’t matter what his policies
are, its his lack of performance
that has doomed him.”

John Mitchell feels strongly

that Skeena is ready now for |
action, ready for a share in the -

leadership available from
Pierre Trudeau. —

“] can read the winds of

change in every negative tirade
of the federal N.D.P., I even see
Mr. Howard playing down or
denying his N.D.P. affiliation,
because he can feel it too!”
Mitchell said confidently.

. “Trudeau will achieve a
mandate in this election,. and
Skeena will come over to the
government side after too many
years wasted in opposition.”
Mitchell concluded.

WEDNESDAY,

OCTOBER 11, 1972

Having read all the “Mu”
books by James Churchward,
as well as “Understanding Mu”
by Hans Stefan Santesson, it.
was fascinating to find another
book on this topic by Tony Earll.
This one is entitled ‘‘Mu
Revealed”.

A Professor Reesdon Gurdlop
had always been interested in
exploring the archaeological
possibilitles of Central
America. Churchward had been
dismissed by most scientists as
“a fraud, or a lunatic’, but the
Marquina-Jolicoeur Institute of
London felt he had neve been
given a fair hearing. A t the
Institute’s suggestion,
Professor Gurdlop read and
studied all the “Mu” books, and
felt they were deserving of
further investigation.

James Churchward’s works
are based on translations of two
sets of tablets; the Naacal caly
tablets which Churchward
discovered in Indian, and the
Mexico stone tables, discovered
by Professor William Niven in
the Valley of Mexico

Being unable to locate, the
tablets, Gurdlop
transferred his attention to
Niven’s tablets in a museum in
Mexico, The Professor was
sufficiently impressed with
what he found that an ex-
pedition was arranged for at the
ald Niven site in Mexico.
Temple scrolls found as a result

of this expedition have turned,

out to be a diary kept by a young
fellow. The''‘Carbon-14” dating
dates these brittle scrolls as
being uo less than 23,000 years

old. They are of papyrus, which

was either grown in Central
America at that time, or was
brought from a land to east or
west of it, .
Mu has become Murur ac-
cording to my reading to date.
After some of the early ex-
plosions that shook the land,

place later known in history as

One very interesting tran-
slation speaks of a different way
of learning, relating to Kland’s
heart beat ‘matche d to- the
pulse of a drum.” This was after
the boy had entered college. But
having just. read Psychic
Discoveries’ Behind the Iron
Curtain, this is so close te
learning by Suggestology, that
it would seem as if many things
known in the far distant past are
now being rediscovered, In the
second -mentioned - book, one
relaxes to music not: con-
centrating at all on any lear-
ning, but the learning takes
place when a foreign language
is also being ‘taught’. Skeptics
found they learnt in spite of
their disbelief - in a matter of
some 5 or 6 Weeks, the
equivalent of 2 or 3 years of
ordinary instruction in a
language were absorbed. What
a boon this would be to an
education system.

But more of the second book

‘in the next letter. It is already

on loan here with a “wailing

Today the Camp was startled
by the fire alarm sounding in
the middle of the day. This is the
first time we have had the
alarm ring other than for the
