motorists are warned

Game Branch authorities of the Department of Recreation

‘and Conservation have issued a warning to kind-hearted

people who feel impelled to fawn over fawns.

“Tt is no fun for fawns to be fawned-over,” Inspector
Bob Sinclair of the Fish and Game Branch said. “Usually
when a fawn is discovered by the roadside it is under the

watchful eye of its mother.
The motorist doesn’t see the
mother and quite often he
picks up the appealing animal,
takes it home and phones us.
He doesn’t realize he is com-
mitting a crime under the
Game Act which is punishable
by a maximum fine of $300.”

Inspector Sinclair said that
already this year the first case
of “fawn-napping” has been
reported and he urges that
motorists or hikers who dis-
cover fawns, leave them where
they are “so that Mother Na-
ture can take care of the situa-
tion.” He added that the Game
Branch will prosecute offend-
ers, and that isn’t f(a)unny.

Mona Morgan, secretary of
the Civic Reform Association,
sent the following letter to
Mayor Alsbury:

“As you know, supplement-
ary benefits come to an end
this week, with tragic conse-
quences for thousands of Van-
couver families. It is esti-
mated that some 9,000 work-
ers will be affected. immedi-
ately, but in addition to these
are the many who did=not
even qualify for benefits this
year.

“The City of Vancouver
therefore will be confronted
with a very great problem;
that of providing social as
sistance for these people who
now have no other means of
subsistence. Yet this problem
is in fact the responsibility
of provincial and federal gov-
ernments,

“Tt is heartening that the
trade unions are taking action
by organizing a lobby to Ot-
tawa and since this question
is of paramount importance
to our city, it is imperative
that action be taken also by
Vancouver City Council, and
particularly by the labor rep-
resentatives.

“Extension of unemployment

question. It is more and more
becoming the practice of sen-
ior governments to place the
main cost of education, hous-
ing, works projects, etc., on
the »municipalities and there-

ers. The municipalities should
therefore be calling on these
governments to accept their re-
sonsibilities and act on such
urgent questions.

“We would like to suggest
that you and Alderman E. A.
