People from many parts of Canada have already visited there, Ut is one way of finding out just where all the summer travelled from.) That same evening Avis left on Trans Provincial for Prince Rupert on her way to Terrace. By now I imagine she has packed up the last belongings and should be well on her way to a new life’ with the family at Williams Lake where Peter is in business, One day I hope to call to see them in their home beside the lake there. During the ten day visit, One morning I suddenly found myself enroute for a clam digging exoedition at North Beach. The previous evening Tanis Woode had tourists have —. decided she would make the trip with Ed and Avis but when morming came she didn't want to, get up. though [ didn’t dig any clams, it was quite a nice trip. My job seemed to be picking up those that were dug and carting the buckets to the diggers. There were complaints from the visitor the nex} day as new muscles complained about the strange use,they had been we all managed to enjoy put to. It took ‘sometime , hefore the clams were dug out intact but before long we had a nice supply. My sister was planning to come up for a few days so [ phoned Victoria this mor- ning. Now she is not sure. about coming as her husband is not well, really felt well so that is something to be thankful for. He would iike to be picked up tomorrow at Sandspit so the grand- daughters will come in on that trip. They were looking forward to a visit from Auntie but perhaps we will all get down later to see her instead. There was quite an episode the second time that Vic went out alone fishing. The B.C. Canuck went onto the rocks at the northern tip ef Graham Island or thereabouts. Ed flew out with cement, wood, bolts, ete. and stayed to help repair the boat soit could be brought inte port. Since then another repair has been made which should be fine until the fall when the new marine place here will be operating. There are a variety of speculations as to why the boat went on the rocks — Vic looked terrible when he and Ed arrived here two days later but a shave helped his appearance. He had fallen and had cuts on his head and leg as well as one thumb. Since then he went for a medical check-up and has been in hospital for tests. Diagnosis has been hyperglycemia and so far the prescription of six'small meals daily, honey in hot water and no alcohol seem to be very effective. Also the | delayed adjustments have apparently been the “crowning touch’’, It is to be hoped that geod health continues as a result. Time out to check on cats as Tom was wanting to be friendly with Ankhe. I suppose she has been on her own too long but she really doesn’t mind Pippa and Tom as long as both will leave her alone. All three have been together before so they are net exactly strangers. What with the dog outside, the three cats and the Woode family here, it is certainly not lonely. Mario moved out to babysit with a house at Vic" the beginning of the month so.we had a room for our fuest, Yesterday fifteen sandhill cranes came in to feed over in the meadow. On our way back from the Yakun we saw a family of ducks swimming in the river. We also have seen several deer on each of the recent trips that we have made. Usually the deer do not stay there long enough for any picture taking though, but that is just as well as perhaps they won't be shot if they keep moving. . It is strange how different some Bibles are in print. In trying to look up a section mentioned by “Betty” in ‘‘The Unobstructed Universe”, the 12th to 26th verses of Chapter twelve of St. Paul’s First Epistle to - the Corinthians were cemissing.. Or perhaps -I looked up the wrong Corinthians, as i was able te read that section down in the large Bible at Haida and yesterday found the same section in'a book given ta me by my parents in 1967. (Later — it must have been an early morning search as the section is intact in both Bibles.) The main thought in the reading of this section was in explaining the im- portance of each individual as related to the ‘Whole of which we are each parts.” Charles : Berlitz’ “Mysteries from Forgotten Worlds” is much lighter reading and contains a wealth of pictures as well. I am about halfway through this particular book but may soon complete it as it looks as though I will be making a trip ot to Victoria tomorrow owing to my brother-in-law’s ill health. I will stay with my sister for awhile. Another letter should be forthcoming after T return from that trip. -This seems an abrupt ending but we all went aut to a beach this evening and did not return until after ten which means [ am going to be up quite late. However I wanted to complete this effort first since quite a lot had already been written. Summer hunting regulations The 1976-77 Limited Entry Hunting areas for certain species of big game animals were announced recently by the Department Recreation and Travel Industry, Fish and Wildlife Branch. Limited Entry Hunting is a_ wildlife management technique which limits the number of hunters in designated areas in order to control harvests and maintain a high quality recreational experience for hunters in those areas. Under this system, Fish and Wildlife biologists predetermine the har- vestable surplus of animals in the Limited Entry areas, anda “draw” is held to select those British Columbia residents who may hunt these surplus animals. of: ' Management Details of the Limited Entry Program are as follows: Mountain Sheep only, any age): 1.

Increasing speculation In the national press says Trudeau will make changes in his cabinet and Campagnolo will find herself included. This photo was taken July 6 when the Haida Eagle Dancers per- formed in the Great Hall of Honour of Parliament before leaving for an international festival in West Germany. Included in the picture Is Lucie Lambert (left) from Campagnolo’s office. The Skeena MP is wearing a Haida Eagle balnket which was presented during the Prime Minister's visit to the Queen Charlotte islands in May. from Ottawa THIS WEEK lona Campagnolo, An created a great deal of concern in recent weeks — and, unfortunately, about which there has been a great deal of confusion and misunderstanding — is the provision of air .traffic control services in both English and French in the province of Quebec. SAFETY THE ISSUE Contrary to the im- pression left by. much of the media, this issue is purely and simply ane of air safety — it is not a question of “bilingualism for the sake of bilingualism’’. In the province of Quebec, as throughout al] of North America, there are more’ and more owners and pilots of small private aircraft. In Quebec, many of these pilats are French-speaking, and noe more fluent in the English language than most consider pilots in Skeena are fluent in French. To prevent the possibility of confusion and mid-air misunderstandings, ~ the government, with the support of the Canadian Air Traffic Controller's Association, has introduced bilingual air traffic contro) in five small regional air- ports which are heavily used Y private aircraft. This move has, if “anything: improved air safety in these places. What has created the issue — and what is badly misunderstood -- is tne government’s proposal to introducing bilingual air traffic control into the three airports in the Montreal region. These airports are not only heavily used by private aircraft, but are also used by com- mercial airlines — both Canadian and international. PROPOSAL ONLY However, despite what you may have heard: - this is only a proposal, nol a definite decision and the Prime Minister has repeatedly stated that bilingual air traffic control will not be introduced unless . it has been proven safe beforehand. -no pilot will have to learn French. All commercial air traffic will continue to be handled in English. - English is not the in- ternational language of all aviation. Most — but not ail — commercial aviation is conducted in English and most European countries handle private aircraft in either English or the local language, at the pilot's discretion. This is exactly what is being proposed for Quebec. Again, I must point out that this is a question of safety, not of bilingualism. Whether or not you agree with the policy of bilingualism, it is a fact of Canadian life that many ‘private aircraft pilots are not fluent in the English Janguage. To improve air safety for all concerned, the government is providing air traffic control in both English and French. “SKEENAESE” Similarily, if there were a large number of private aircraft pilots in nor- thwestern B.C. who were not fluent in English, and spoke only “Skeenaese”, common sense would dictate that air traffic’ control in-our air- rts be provided in that language, as well as in English — if that made aviation safer. That is theissue in Quebec ie nothing more, nothing ess. ma Oiled duck signals troubled waters Conservation Officer Lawson battles his arch- enemy Oscar MeFoisy in this series of articles ex- plaining regulations af- fecting B.C. outdoorsmen. Prince George Conservation Officer, Doug Adolph, of the Fish and Wildlife Branch, sheds .a humorous light on the sometimes unknown risks taken by those not familiar with the law. Phe Statute * Section 33(2) of the Canada Fisheries Act states that: . “No person shall deposit or permil the deposit of a deleterious substance of any type in water frequented by fish or in any place under any condition where such deleterious substance or any other delterious substance that results from the deposit of such substances may enter any water.” Phe Incident It was one of those warm July afternoons the Lord had created solely for the purpose of fishin’ and relaxin’, After a long and busy week of checking anglers Lawson, the local conservation officer, thought he might slip down to Bluewater Creek and wet a line himself. It wasn’t long before he and Billy were watching . heat rise under the noon- hour sun, dreaming of that elusive five-pound trout they'd heard so much about. Billy was Lawson's al’ pal, a golden retriever who liked to keep an car to the wind and his thoughts on all the good times they had together huntin’ and fishin’, As Billy drowsily con- templated a spider that was ssing dangerously close to s left paw, all of a sudden his eye caught what ap- ared to be a duck floating elplessly downstream. Lawson had noticed it too, and just as he got the “etch” out of “fetch” Billy was parting the stream like a “Foisy kept torpedo on the ‘‘fire-one’’ command. ; Before that spider could dig its way out from under Billy’s footprint , both Billy and an oil-soaked duck were reporting to Lawson, Someone, Lawson determined, was allowing oil to be flushed into the stream so he, his dog, Billy, the duck and one spider marched upstream in the direction of the oil flow. The name of Oscar Mc- ringing in Lawson's ear as they rounded the bank towards a cabin on Muskrat Flats. Sure enough, there was Oscar, repairing the engine from his old Studebaker, on the shore of the stream. Oscar turned to flee in the opposite direction when both the duck and the spider atlacked. While the spider positioned herself behind _ Oscar with three of her eggs out, the drake flew at his chest, thereby neatly and expertly tripping Oscar head over heels into the oily water. Billy was next on the scene. He grabbed Oscar by the ankle and by using an inverted dog paddle, managed ta haul him onto the bank. McFeisy. was dried out and arrested for allowing deleterious substances to be placed in the stream. The Adjudication The Judge asked Oscar to tuck in his shirt as the charge was being read in court. Oscar pleaded guilty to the charge and asked what the big deal was all about, “after all” he said. ““what's a little oil in the stream?” It was soon pointed out to Oscar, that for his in- formation, streams and lakes were the ecological homes for thousands of species of living things. Nat only do animals, birds and fish depend on clean water for their very survival, but so do the many living things that we do not so readily see. Insects and microscopic animals and plants must be protected to maintain the food chains and: natural balance of nature. - Wastes deposited in lakes and streams destroy the organisms that support life. A lake polluted with sewage wastes promotes the un- desired growth of algae, often seen as a green soup- like scum in the water. How many beaches do people avoid in our own area as a result?” Other chemicals deplete the natural oxygen content of water, which inevitably destroys fish and all other oxygen-dependent water organisms. Unwanted weed growth is found wherever pollulants enter the water, particularly in lakes where sewage is uncontrolled. Evena few gallons of engine oil in a stream does aver- whelming damage that may ° not be readily seen, untilitis . too late. Polluted streams , and lakes make it very. difficult for one other” species of animal to live as‘ well — MAN. So don’t be an Oscar MeFoisy, it just isn’t worth i Fores} fire report Prince Rupert Forest District forest fire report for the week ending July 16, - 1976. Cool moist weather continues to dominate the forest district holding the fire hazard quite low, One new lightning strike which - caused fire in the Kinaskan Lake region was ex- tinguished during the week bringing the annual total to 29 fires, The air tankers are now located _at the newly com- leted Burns Lake tanker’ se ‘and while the hazard remains iow. are in readiness should they be required. “future, A In general the low fire occurance has afforded the field staff a welcome relief and allowed the time to be spent on other duties.
