M. and 7.00 A. M.. shooting at an unpro- tected target, injiuring -livbstock while hunting, etc. And when to top everything have to undergo a test before being issued with a license to hunt_. 0 O I Incidentally a hunting license test uneludes: knowledge of and handling of firearms. safety mea- sures, judgement of shooting dis- tance. identification of different species of game in the field. eto. Those drastic hunting restrictions were brought about by the tre- mendous increase in the ‘number of hunters. high percentage of avoidable hunting accidents and demands from rural residents for protection from hunters.

There is feeling prevalent among a. certain class of local hunters that such regulations will never be put

his the tar e-year-old Frosty into effect in this province. If MacArthur. i Abner T. Clezg some of them are out into effect. it 2041.2, ' will be the hunters themselves

who are the cause. Too many gun- ners. ere turning our highways in- to public hunting grounds. Its get- ting to be a common sight to see our loads of hunters. patrolling the country roads with the muzzled of s‘otguns protruding from the car

windpws. ' . .

Those gunners are all too ready to blast at e covey on the road. or beside the road, without even looking to see who may be coming or what may be in line with their target. This practi.-:e is definitely dangerous. Farmers object to the rattle of shot pellets on their build- ings and seeing a car disa'p'pea.~f‘ll'i§ down the road in a. cloud of dust. In Nova scotia deer have a habit of feeding in orchards. often in close proximity to farm buildings. particularly in early morning and late evening. Hunters would open up on orchard feeding deer with high powered rifles without using any Judgement. It was on this ac- count the regulation was passed prohibiting any person discharging a. firearm within zoo yards of any dwelling house (unless he is the occupant thereof) or to hunt game within Booyards of any dwelling house. (unless the occupant there- of.)

Another objectionable practice that is s. vogue this past few years is to use cars to hunt out birds. A no acre stubble field looks pretty extensive to some hunters so rather than tramp it from end to’ end in an effort to flush any covey's that may be feeding therein they drive their car all over the field. Some- times two cars will team up and drive up and down the field as a. team. I often wonder at the pa- tience displayed by some of our farmers.

The bike sullry came into use is 1892 and Nancy l-[aura hooked to it lowered the trotting record w 2m 1.4. Fifty-six years later Greyhound irotied in 1.55 1-4 to up, up a world's record that will be difficult to erase. The dwar- once between the marks of twelve uoonds average about one-quarter of a second, per year If YOU Will! to figure it that way. The first trailer to break the two-minute mark was Lou Dillon with her 1.56 1-2 effort at Memphis, Ten- nessee. Oct. Mth. 1903. 'l‘b.irty-«five years later Greyhound stepped in 1.55 1-4. Lou Dillon was .8 phenomena, a very fllghty, high strung mare that when first taken to the track all she would do would be hop. lkip and run and bar trainer was very nearly giv- ing her up. The: one day she took fright and settled into the trot and a year later had stopped the remarkable mile shown above and was the talk of the world.

Since 1003 very few trotters have been able to better Lou Dillon's time. The list includes Uhlaa 1.58'1-4 in 1910 and 1.58 in 1912. Peter Manning 1.57 1-4 in 1921 and 1.56 3-4 in 193, Grey- bound on quite a few occasions, Ronlind in 1.56 8-4 in 1938. Spen- cer Scott in 1.57 1-4 in 1941. Volo Song with 1.57 3-4, Titan Hanover with 158 ln~liM5 and Dean Han- over. driven by 11-year-old Alma Sheppard. tied Lou Dillon's 1.58 1-2 Inila in 1987.

Many hunters who are not so spry as they used to be derive I lot of enjoyment driving along quiet country roads on the lookout for a shot at overs on the road or feeding beside it. or for the odd dusting Ruffed grouse. If ordinary common sense is used this practice need cause no unfavourable reper- cusslons. The point is: are the rank and file of hunters using common sense.

The lluntfirlan cartridge situa- tion has worsened during the past few days Wednesday rights rain and subsequent drop in tempera- ture has thiokeped an already stiff crust. The coveys are we-ideriris aimlessly over the icy fields. In many ‘énstances they have entered res-my ds in search of food. The probe hold no hope of mild wea- ther in the offing and unless the covey‘; are supplied with food and grit, casualties will occur.

looks like first team basketball will remain stored in a basket for a while — next fall in fact. so: in the semi-finals with the Ray's. the team was forced out by the slim margin of four points. Too badl We had high hopes of their contlnuing_ on the victory trail which they trod a good deal this season. but . . . . nevertheless. the squad didn't bow out without first acquiring a few honors. The team aggregate was 60.3, the highest in the schedule; with a collection of 00.3 points it was the best offensive squad; and in addition to that. the scoring champion in the r lar schedule was Jack Reardon w th 241 points.

As you probably know. our In- tercolleglate hockey team left Thursday morning in search of battle honors agairist U. N. B. and st. Thomas squads. The journey thus far has not been very fav- ourable as Thursday night's game will affirm, losing as they did to the U. N. B. hosts by a. score of 7-2. However, at the time of writing there is still that gamewlth st. Thomas to be played. and we be- lieve our boys will reverse the scoring of the last encounter. we say this because ours is a much improved team, this team which invoked both surprise and approv- al by last Saturday night's victory over Mount A. As the situstl stands now, lJ.N.B. is too f ahead and will likely take the title. But there are more years to come and more ch of repea" -g the feat of 1947 when the Maritime crown was carried home amid much jubilation. Who knows? Probably next year.

while the Intermediate team has been idle, the players of tomorrow comprising the Junior team have been quite active and victorious. This squad under the coaching of Joe Mshar has two out of two. In Morel]. a few weeks ago, they won by a 6-4 score; and Tuesday night in Kcnsington they defeated the highly-rated juveniles 10-2. Nice going fellows! Manager Bert Len- nan informs that a. return game with March is pending for Sunday afternoon. If the fac¢.~off mater- iallzes, we should nee a good game.

Ottawa and the Ontario Agricult- ural College. Friday night. the 10th our debaters will clash with the French-speaking team from the University of Ottawa on the reso- lution "Resolved that Oommunistio activities should be made a crim- inal offense in Canada.” Should they win this contest, our represent- atives will meet the winners of the U. 13. C.-O.A.C. clash for the cov- eted trophy. As you see. this is no small matter and as such is at- tracting a great deal of campus- interest. We are confident that the chosen speakers will, make a fav- ourable. impression on Judges and audience alike. In addition, this journeying for the Dominion title we consider as a. fitting close to the years in Intercollegiate debat- ing by the two seniors, Wilf Drie- coll. and Lorne MacDonald. and also as a splendid beginning for Mark Macciuigan. a Junior and newcomer to the campus who has .been active all year in the many student activities.
