gdmup96 mr conservation national wild life week is not ust an other week to promote sales of some dusty merchandise but on the contrary is a week when the public of not only this gen oration but for generations to come will be on the receiving end most canadians are fast becoming edu cated lo conserve our natural resources and observe conservation throughout the year but this one week is designed to focus public attention on the importance of conserving or saving from extermination our wild life this week was created by a unanimous vote of the members of the canadian house of commons and canadian senate on april 18 1947 with a twofold proect one to create public interest in the conservation of wild life which was ably pioneered by the late jack miner canadian naturalist through his lectures writings and example set forth at his world famous jack miner sanctuary at kingsville the other obect of the week was to al ways have it fall on the week ofpril 10th which was his birthday and such an approp nate time of the year when the birds are returning this is the country s national trib ufe and memorial to the late jack miner this year the dates fall on april 6 13 mclu sive when all schools have been asked to stress the educational importance of the week and carry out what jack mmer meant when he said i stand for more education and less legislation steps to all government officio i vhve great praise for the conservation work started by the lata jack miner or c h d clarke supervisor of wild life management for the province of ontario on march 28 1952 said the wild goose flight at the miner sanctuary is to me the best wild life show in the country tjh april 8th 1948 duringthe fmjrol servave of national wtld life week in can ada mr j smart superintendent of national parks in the parliament buildings in ottawa paying tribute to the late jack miner said jack miner was indeed possibly the fathei of conservation in this country l harrison f lewis formerchtef of the canadian wild life service in april 1949 the second anniversary of national wild life week writing in the canadian forest and outdoors said the most famous name in the annals of canadian wild life conserve- tion is that of the late jack miner jack miner enjoyed wild creatures he thought and acted to meet their needs and he made outstand ing use of his exceptional gifts to enlist sev eral millions of people as supporters of wild life conservation much of the present day recognition of the value of wild life conser valion stems from the work of jack miner last but not least the king of england in june 1953 a year before jack miner s death bestowed upon him the o b e order of the british empire with a citation for the great est achievement in conservation in the brit ish empire health television for our critical consideration and worst of all we do little or nothing to en courage the natural aspirations of the young to enoy physical fitness for itself alone and it s a slander on our young people to say that they do not seek this natural out let a young man wrote to the editor of a daily newspaper complaining that in the cold est weather the privilege of skating in a pub lie park had been withdrawn a twelve year old schoolboy wrote pleading for bicycle tracks so that he could enjoy without risking his life the healthy sport of cycling the urge is there but the leadership is lacking and thai must come from adults the committee can make what discover ies it like no legislation will change things there must be a reform of public attitudes for example there are few footpaths for walkers anyone bold enough to go walking runs the risk of being flung bruised and broken into the ditch when cycling is generally regarded as healthy exercise and not a pastime for kids when walkers are not cranks but are respec ted when new subdivisions are perforce in an essay stephen leacock wrote nearly 40 years ago on oxford as i see it he said a student or a least the only

shoulders car legs and weak feet something had to be done about it whal better than to legislate the nation into physical fitness the result the national filness act which produced the usual crop of committees and slreams of pamphlets and exhilarating slogans in june 1954 the act was interred with scarcely a toot on the bugle of regret its swan song was a pamphlel on shot putting if this experience taught us anything at all it was thai people cannot be legislated into health through the back door of welfare sialism now the ontario government fulfilling the promise in its throne speech is to sludy the question of physical reiuvenation in the province in t i960 health department es timates s35 000 has been allotted and as a preliminary the inevitable committee is to be formed there

of walking we lounge in cha rs per shopping centres then we shall be starting haps watching superb athletes perform on to build a truly healthy nation shadows and substance we have very carefully and enthusiastically made it the right of every child to receive th s education suyat and sfuce on the other hand we have made it com pulsory for a child to attend school until he or she is 16 whether they have the desire to study or not the law insists they attend school their attitude is not considered ex cept in extreme cases where expulsion is warranted they may disrupt classes with their lack of interest and so besides losing out themselves they interfere with the pro gress of others teachers ate robbed of valu able teaching time by the r fool sh attitudes took pirt in tie me on tin id i
