E. Livermore, a conservation officer in Lake Erie District, "a person has only to drive down a township road to see evidence which cannot help but produce prejudice against a sportsman . . . traffic signs, rail- road signs, public utility and no trespassing signs are bullet-scarred -- some so damaged as to be almost un- recognizabe". : Mr. Livermore says that although this damage is the work of a minority of individuals, it is unfortun- ately blamed on most hunters in general. He offers the following suggestions as to what the honest sports- man can do to protect the dwindling area in which he may hunt: "He should go out of his way to seek permission to hunt on the farmer's land. Many farmers will let him hunt on posted land, providing they know who the hunter is, and that he is a responsible person. "Teach young hunters the value of good relations with the landowners and teach them to strive for a better image than that which has been presented by hunters before their time. "When a sportsman sees someone poaching or causing damage, he should go out of his way to tell the person that he is wrong, and explain why he is wrong. The irresponsible individual would be set at a psychological disadvantage. If reasoning with the offender is of no value, the sportsman should contact the enforcement agency resposible for dealing with the situation and be prepared to spend a few hours of his "# time in court. , "A small amount of effort by each sportsman would produce worthwhile dividends of better hunting and better relations in the future."

He, or she, will make it all quite clear to you on that first weekend home from the hallowed halls of learning, Every fall, the blood pressure of countless fathers skyrockets, the tender hearts of hordes of loving mothers shatter, when the freshman student, be- loved and cherished these 18 years, waltzes in with a bag of dirty laundry and a swollen ego. We've had quite a fall of it, in our neighborhood. With a sigh of relief, we shipped our gawk of a boy off to one university, and amid floods of tears, the people next door sent their darling daughter to another. Both were home last weekend. And both sets of parents spent the entire visit alternating with fury at the kids and shame at their own ignorance. There's no question about it. A college education is a wonderful thing. In a matter of three or four weeks, smalltown kids who barely staggered through high school, and barely knew enough to change their socks or blow their noses, are transformed into pipe-smoking playboys or dashing, desirable women and SP] of the world. Imagine what a whole year will do. The boys nonchalantly toss off a remark or two about heer parties, the girls light up a fag right there, while father's frown deepens and mother's jaw falls wider and wider. The boys, with a solid basis of three weeks' lec- tures in political science, curtly enlighten their dads on the asinine political ideas the latter have cheri- shed for 20 years. . The girls, secure in their three weeks of psycho- logy, put their mothers into shock with casual com- ments on the necessity of a full sex life before mar- riage. Both explain kindly to the old folks not only that all's wrong in the world, but also that God is no longer in His heaven. In fact, He isn't anywhere. He's just a "anthropomorphic projection of the need for a father image." Both point out that the capitalistic system is driving us into a neurotic pursuit of the material- istic, that the dollar is essentially an evil thing. And both pocket, without comment, the extra 10 bucks you slip them on departure. Our kid has discoveed a new system, in which you can get along on four hours sleep at night. This is done by sleeping all day, which he did on the weekend. He assured us that he had worked out a CE SMILEY rigid work schedule, which begins at 7 a.m. daily. But a few minutes later, he let it slip out that he scarcely ever ate breakfast at the dining-hall, be- cause he slept in. The girl next door nearly finished off her father. He gave her a blank cheque, the dope, to pay her first term's fees and residence dues, hoping he could scrape up the second term when it arrived. With admirable sangfroid, she filled in the cheque for the whole year's fees. Next day he received a call from his banker. He had to sell his last bonds to meet the overdraft. Young Hugh is letting his hair grow long, has taken a lead role in the college revue, plays flam- enco records at ear-splitting volume and is just busting to get in on a sit-in or a lie-down or some other form of civie disturbance, so he can be ar- rested. The girl next door is disgusted that her mother can't read Chaucer in the original and believes the story about Adam and Eve. Her mom wag weeping when she left. With rage. Oh, well, I guess it's all worth it. Our grocery bill has dropped by $12 a week since Hugh left. And we'll have the last laugh next spring, when exams start, ~--Toronto Telegram News Service
