It was during this time F bad the opportunity to attend “a convention of the Federation of Fish and Game clubs. That was an_ experience that I wish every-one con- cerned with conservation of our wild-tife could enjoy.

If there was a model act out of the bunch I received, fhe nomination would have to go to Ontario. Concise, clear com- plete and put in a book that is easy to read, The coverage is good; from laws governing the propagation of frogs to hunting cow-birds. That should show how thorough they are, and‘in spite of that, the act should be easy to enforce in the field. Manitoba has a good act, well written, with very little left to speculation of ‘Orders In Council’, They may get a bit windy in parts of the act, but 1

changes in the Wildlife Act. | suppose that must be accepted,

Some of the changes they fought for are still hot law in B.C. and that conference was held in 1962,

In mulling over these facts and always on the search tor something to write about, I thought it would be interesting to take the B.C. Wildlife Act and use it as a base on which to write a good Act. Not wanting to take all the credit for writing the best game act in Canada, 1 wrote to, many of the other provinces to collect the gems that their wizards had written, 1 found many things, some good, some weird, some funny and some I can’t un- derstand.

With the preliminaries now out of the way, I shall now poke my neck out and commence to fill you good people in on what is good and bad in the world of Canadian Game Acts.

After reading a few of the Acts I quickly forgot the idea of writing out an act that I thought would bea dandy; there is just too much materia] in the Acts to do that in the space I have here. The next change in plan was to forget that [ had ever seen or considered the B.C, Act as a model or a base for anything. I then had the task of finding a model by sorting through the acts that were sent to me from Newloundland-- a very good act in most respects, but it is in the Newlie dialect or some such strange tongue, and it makes for strange reading. ~ Nova Scotia wrote theirs on a’ postage stamp they folded, but the microscope proved there were some good items in it. Theirs, as were most others, are

legislated;so the, size depends on the amount of evaporation their printers used.

Quebec has a good act, printed in a very informative booklet, but here too, it was left in the condenser just a bit too long. The basic ideas they do have should give them good contro] of their wild-life, and you do get a lot of book whichever way you look at it -- English or French. ;

Jon a parallel with Ontario and

Manitoba, They have taken the fur bearers and all that pertains to them out of the Game Actand have written up the ‘Fur Act’, which I did not receive.

That completes the list I received. I wrote lo Washington state for a copy of theirs, but they apparently can’t decipher my Canadian typewriter (made in Japan) because they for- warde d my letter to Victoria and the Department there sent me (wo copies of B.C.’s Wildlife Act,

Since | scrapped the idea of using the B.C. Act as a model the best way fo go now is to point out the things that are not in the act, but are things that I and the other provinces con- sider to be important, I trust that everyone realizes that the B.C. Wildlife was re-written with the express idea of keeping the act to the very bare necessities to avoid confusion and that all other legislation be through ‘Orders in Council’. That plan worked swell as far as eliminating confusion in the public sector was concerned simply because the public was ignorant of the orders in council. But in the department itself there is some confusion as may be witnessed when two or more oificials of the depart- ment try to answer the same question.

Frank Howard “We must ‘get the small operator back in business”

Frank Howard, NDP can- didate for Skeena said today in Houston that the Federal of Regional Economic Expansion should be prepared to assist small Joggers and sawmill operators to get back into business and thus help in the orderly development and use of our forests,

Mr. Howard said “While I have many criticisms. of the rules governing the Department of Regional Expansions J still think it could be of great use in assisting the small logger and sawmill operator in our area.”

“In economic terms the logging and sawmill industry is labour intensive. In other words it employs a large number of people per dollar invested. It seems to me that we must get: the small operator back, into business for he employs local works and spends his money locally.’’

“Because we have a monopolistic situation existing in. the forest industry in this

“In the meantime,” con- cluded Mr. Howard, ‘the Regional Expansion Depart- ment should be preparing to. move in both to hejp those few" small operators and be ready for what I hope will be a dramatic upswing’ in the local

Newfoundland, Alberta, Quebec, Saskatchewan and Alaska expressly forbid the hunter to allow the meat of a game animal to be wasted. The ery that is raised in B,C. against such a law is that guides would have to charge higher fees in order to comply with these restrictions. They say, too, that parts of B.C. are so remote that game meat cannot be suc- cessfully transported out of the back country.

I’m sure that all that talk comes from the hind end of a horse. If there is any place more remote that northern Quebec, Labrador and Newfoundland, it won't be found in B.C. yet they

‘forbid the wastage of game

meat, And what the heck, must the ‘trophy hunters’ that shoot a bullmoose on the road be allowed to leave the meat there, just because a guide at Lower Post might have trouble getting some meat out. The two situations are worlds apart and the law can be made flexible enough to cover both situations.

On the matter of insurance to cover damages or injuries

THE HERALD, TERRACE, eo

arising from hunting situations l confess that I do not know the reasons why B.C. has avelded the issue for 10 years. Quebe ,c Manitoba and Saskatchewan all havea form of insurance though the plan differs in that they will cover and hew they are ad- ministered. Quebec covers persons hurt in hunting ac- cidents. but Manitoba and Saskatchewan tend. to stress damage caused to farmers, property owners and their property. though they also cover hunting accidents.

That covers the main points that the Federation has been fighting for. One other battle of theirs has been partly won and that is hunter-training. B.C. now has hunter-training legislation, but even that needs more tightening up.

NOTE: Due to the length of Mr. Watmough's column it will have to be continued in next week's Herald. , ..Next week Les talks about fire-arm control, trapping and the growing problem of ATV's and Airplanes in conservation.

Frank Howard...“Federal government

predicts that food

prices will double

in the next five years’

Frank Heward, N.D.P. Candidate for Skeena, said today in Telkwa that an agency of the federal government had predicted that food prices would probably double in the next five years yet the Liberal govern- ment choose to ignore the warning.

Mr. Howard said “In the spring of this year Statistics Canada, an agency of the federal government, predicted that if the cost of living con- tinued to rise in the future at the rate it was rising this spring then food prices would double in the next five years.”

“The sameful part o f all this,” said Mr. Howard, “was that the Trudeau government said it would rather wait and see what happened.”

“Now we know what has happened. The cost of living, as predicted by Statistics Canada, has continued to rise at an accelerated rate wth food prices showing the strongest in- crease,” said Mr. Howard, ™.”

“T Know” said Mr. Howard, “that the farmer is not causing this upward move of food price s and neither is the labour movement, but the real] culprit is the huge vertically integrated food chain that racks up profits every time foodstuffs move from one part of the chain to another."

“Howard is a maverick and on occasion has implied that he’s more. socialist than N.D.P.”’ Mitchell went on, ‘‘It doesn’t matter what his policies are, its his lack of performance that has doomed him.”

WEDNESDAY,

OCTOBER 11, 1972

Having read all the “Mu” books by James Churchward, as well as “Understanding Mu” by Hans Stefan Santesson, it. was fascinating to find another book on this topic by Tony Earll. This one is entitled ‘‘Mu Revealed”.

A Professor Reesdon Gurdlop had always been interested in exploring the archaeological possibilitles of Central America. Churchward had been dismissed by most scientists as “a fraud, or a lunatic’, but the Marquina-Jolicoeur Institute of London felt he had neve been given a fair hearing. A t the Institute’s suggestion, Professor Gurdlop read and studied all the “Mu” books, and felt they were deserving of further investigation.

James Churchward’s works are based on translations of two sets of tablets; the Naacal caly tablets which Churchward discovered in Indian, and the Mexico stone tables, discovered by Professor William Niven in the Valley of Mexico

Being unable to locate, the tablets, Gurdlop transferred his attention to Niven’s tablets in a museum in Mexico, The Professor was sufficiently impressed with what he found that an ex- pedition was arranged for at the ald Niven site in Mexico. Temple scrolls found as a result

of this expedition have turned,

old. They are of papyrus, which

was either grown in Central America at that time, or was brought from a land to east or west of it, . Mu has become Murur ac- cording to my reading to date. After some of the early ex- plosions that shook the land, some who left journeyed to a place later known in history as “Ur” Roads seem by Thor Heyerdahl in many parts of Easter Island, which “disap-

caves “with tunnels running far into the rock, or down into the depths” lend support to the existence of an earlier civilization.

One very interesting tran- slation speaks of a different way of learning, relating to Kland’s heart beat ‘matche d to- the pulse of a drum.” This was after the boy had entered college. But having just. read Psychic Discoveries’ Behind the Iron Curtain, this is so close te learning by Suggestology, that it would seem as if many things known in the far distant past are now being rediscovered, In the second -mentioned - book, one relaxes to music not: con- centrating at all on any lear- ning, but the learning takes place when a foreign language is also being ‘taught’. Skeptics found they learnt in spite of their disbelief - in a matter of some 5 or 6 Weeks, the equivalent of 2 or 3 years of ordinary instruction in a language were absorbed. What a boon this would be to an education system.
