_ For this reason I. have ad-
dressed a strong protest to the
Councils . of the three
municipalities in which are
comprised the ural portions of
the Saanich Peninsula. I quote
below the meat of this letter of
protest -- making no apologies for:
defining hunters and hunting in
terms which to my mind properly
describe their activities.

aoe “TE suppose vit is useless — to

protest against the practice of a
supposedly-human society which
still issues licenses to -kill for
pleasure. But even those of our”
“local people who do not fully
disapprove of this practice will
surely not “want. to. see: our
dwindling stock of wildlife ex-
posed ~ to’. indiscriminate
Slaughter. And even those» who
enjoy killing defenceless animals
will ‘surely think: twice” before
_they agree to the letting loose
amongst us of often inexpert and

trigger-happy pleasure- -killers tof:

' our. families” with their: lethal:

Therefore ! most vigorously

ask the . officials. of . the
municipalities affected to lodge
equally strong protests in the
proper quarters. I: don’t know
whether the municipality has a
bylaw prohibiting hunting within
its borders, but if not such a
bylaw: should. be passed: im-
mediately, for the protection of

A mania for tidiness invariably
grips me when there’s a change
of season. I am a relentless
basement-cleaner-outer in the
springtime, a dedicated leaves-
raker-and-burner in the fall.
Come. early April or late
September I always buy 49-cent
ledgers and-enter all my debts in
them in painstaking, impeccable
figures. It makes me feel that I
am well organized.

But for years now this illusion
or orderlieness has never been
quite complete for the simple
reason that, carried away by the
zeal for a place for everything
and everything in its place, | am
emboldened to tackie The Bottom
-Drawer.

It is a very small drawer. Wait
just-a moment -and I'll actually
measure: it So that -we may
consider the whole thing scien-
tifically. Yesy it's just two feet
square and a mere eight inches i in
depth.
But this is the Grand Canyon of
drawers: It is a combination of
midden, tomb, archives, filing
cabinet, tool chest, junk vard.
sewing basket. catch-all ..and
Pandora’s box. »

_ What is it you require? A dog
collar? 145 feet of twine? A button
from.a World War One infantry
uniform? A copy of Chums An-
nual for 1923? A barrel stave? Ski
wax? Carbureter for a Hudson
Terraplane? saddle soap?. The
missing parts for a Spitfire model
airplane kit? A lid-lifter: for a
Climax. stove?

You name it..We’ve got it. In
The Bottom Drawer.

Pressing on. we come upon the

top of a Waterman fountain. pen:

Why keep the sheath from the
hunting knife? Because. of
course, if you threwit away vou'd
find the knife the verv next day.
The flashlight batteries? Well,
some of them might just possibly
havea spark of life left in them.
The two left-handed gloves? Well.
she must have put them in here
for some reason. The wheel from
the toy car? Discard that and |
guarantee that within 10 minutes
vou'd hear a piping voice
enquiring, “Whatever happed to
that wheel from my toy ear that I
put away oso carefully in The
Bottom Drawer’

So it goes, item. after item, as
the rat's nest takes shape once
more.

The manual for the outboard -

motor” Could be very. valuable if
we just happened to buy an
outboard. motor, The top-of a
baby's feeding bottle? Why tempt
fate?

So the drawer is’ put away

. again, more cluttered than ever.
and Lhurry to my new ledger and
my comforting. tidy column of
debts. At least I know where they

came from.
