Deer Hunting

“A recent Review news:story quoted a local conservation
officer as advocating the re-opening of a deer hunting
season on the Saanich Peninsula.

~< Controlled cropping of game herds is a well established

conservation practice and a. conservation officer

is

_ probably best equipped to decide when such control is
necessary... Deer ‘on the Peninsula have become more
numerous and are posing a nuisance for farmer and gar-

’ dener alike.

_ What must be objected to is the suggestion that the desired
reduction in numbers be accomplished by re-introduction

of hunting.

Whether with rifle, bow and arrow, or any weapon in
between the Saanich Peninsula is now too heavily
populated to allow their use. Municipal laws already
prohibit the discharge of firearms — and for good reason.
‘Although careful and experienced hunters. might hunt
safely there is no way to guarantee that all persons
licenced will be either. The chance inclusion of even one
irresponsible hunter is too great a risk to take.

_If deer populations must be reduced in populated areas

HELEN PIDDINGTON

_ From The Log Of The Atarax _

Sidney photographer Dane
Campbell is currently on a .
photographic expedition to

the Queen — Charlotte-.
Islands.  He~- departed
Sidney June 13th and

signed aboard his. crew,
Helen Piddington, along
with her cat; Casmir, in
Vancouver. Atarax is‘a 26’
gaff-rigged_ sailboat.

BY DANE CAMPBELL
Special to The Sidney Pdview

After Port Hardy we felt as if
our voyage to the Queen

Charlotte Islands had _ begun.
~Perhaps it was the short break in
the weather that: brought about
this feeling. Visiting new an-:
chorages and sheltered bays that'
weren't marked on the chart with
an ‘‘X”’ from the camping days of
Kayak Kup-chah helped too.

I collected my cook in Hor-
seshoe Bay on Sunday, 20th June,

g.one- week after departing from,

he

Sidney. Helen Piddington signed
on with her cat ‘‘Casimir”’ and we
departed in a light~ rain.
‘‘Atarax”’ was loaded with stores,
tinned food, 50 lbs. of rice, cat
food, home-brewed wine, over a.

v

dozen loaves. of Helen’s dark
brown bread, and. full tanks of
-fuel and water.

Our second day out was the day
for trials. The sea freshened to a
northwesterly about ~noon. » We.
beat to windward up Malaspina
Strait. Going about, towards the
end of the day,. the job sheet
caught hold of. the gimbled
compass and. wrenched it
overboard. The cat was sea-sick.
We decided to put into Cockburn
Harbour on Nelson Island. Part
way through the narrow. pass the
water cooling system on. the,
exhaust started ‘spraying water,

Editor, The Review, Sir:

How delighted I was to read in
‘your paper last week that hunting
may return to the peninsula: On
returning frony Europe recently I
discovered: my grounds. in-
nundated with deer so numerous
as to be pestilant. The vegetable
garden, so carefully groomed by
Loo Sing, has been. ruined. by
these wild beasts; not only that, a
great flocks of. pheasants. and
quail have. littered and
descimated what the deer.did not
consume. I.am distraught.

I have given instructions that
my Purdy and Lancaster per-
cussion rifle, .56 calibre, be
prepared for the ‘shoot. In 1927 it
dropped a tiger, on the run, at
2000 yards: If I do so say so
~myself, this was not a bad shot;
with the elevation sight at full
ramp. 7

Winston and Scrimmager, my

prize bulldogs, are ecstatic over

readied for action. Though I often
set these dogs upon.the deer it-is
to little avail. Winston, bless him,
is going blind. and: Scriramager
injured. himself. in a recent fall
through our neighbours dread-

poor beast nearly drowned...

I am about to. round up a

were made on subsequent days.
The total of all sand used was not
even enough for a starter. :

Had the truck driver even once
glanced into his rear view mirror
as he returned from: his last
sanding. of Clayton Road, he
would have seen his own wheel
tracks showing solid black right

‘through the sand he had just

fogged onto the road — proving
its utter inadequacy.

Contrary to Mayor Cumming’s
statements to me that he has had
considerable experience‘in road
building; -he. certainly. seems: to
exhibit an appalling lack of
knowledge of the most: elemen-
tary fundamentals of highway
maintenance. He should know
that oil such as was used on these

. | roads will NOT soak into a road

surface that has a-hard top'such
as ours. This simple fact has been
confirmed .by. properly ac-
credited highway engineers of
the highest. standing in’ Western
Canada. These .men have
characterized our -roads as. ‘“‘a
disgrace” and ‘shameful’.

They stated that Bunker B oil
used on our roads is “never used
on proper roads by men’ who
know their. business’’-and that it.
is’.‘only- used. to lay dust-.on
logging roads now and then’’.
-These practical roadbuilders said
that "dust on roads. such as ours
should be laid according to. the,
following...standard © practice: —

Mayor Cumming, -in his
capacity of road expert, changed
his mind and is quoted in the
SIDNEY REVIEW of July 21] as
expressing his belief that. warm
weather would result in’ the oil
being. absorbed. I wonder what
his latest story is — in view of the
recent hot. weather and the fact
we still had very wet and black oil
on our. carport for the past three
weeks. The roads are still wet!
Municipal clerk Ted Fairs could
not resist getting into the act with
still another contradictory alibi
when he told the SIDNEY
REVIEW of July 21 that -rain-
water under the road was heating:
up, rising to. the surface and
lifting the oil. My,oh my! Science
does march on! ;
In the caption under. the picture
of.” our “carport floor and
automobile--in .the .SIDNEY
REVIEW of July 14th, it. was
stated that ‘recent. inclement:
weather left roadbeds filled with
moisture, preventing the oil from
soaking in.”’ :

this statement came from our
municipal road superintendent.
The roads were net too wet.as
proved by the fact that the oil
nicely settled into the roads that
did not have a hard top. His story
has no application to roads with a
hard top and-is utterly silly.

No slightest bit of truth in this

matter has yet.come from any of

our. great and. all-knowing

tradictory  alibis. es :

“ By-even the most elementary | -
highway engineering standards, %

our officials have shown. them-

Saanich wide open to lawsuits: as
with simple matters, :
‘» As for ‘simple - human decency,

stantly said “We goofed!”’ and
immediately. hastened — to
alleviate their mess —~- instead of
waiting for. pressure to be
brought.- - » a

replace our mayor. and his entire

possible.” Remember: .-~ ° The
