the amateur hat control

nice owners of the hats

$5.00 (thanks Night Hawk of

beware.

A PARLIAMENT OF P.

scientific study of nature really began.

Fortunately the twentieth century has been
aroused to the fact that unless we begin to
conserve and maintain our wild animals, not
only will they disappear but we will suffer as a
consequence, On the average the world loses
one species of wildlife per year and the rate‘is
increasing, In Canada at least nine species of

our wildlife have been wiped out in less than a

century.

Throughout the world, during the same
period of time over 130 species haye been lost,
‘lost forever, for once the last of a species is
destroyed there is.no way that it can be
replaced. Each species of life is-unique, it is a
product of a million years of evolution just like
