Provincial Election Both area members of the Ontario legislature, Sam Cureatz, the MPP for Durnam Eat and Howa rd Siteppard, the MPP for Nor- thiumberland, say there is a good possibility of a provin- ciai election as eariy as November 22. The four-year - mandate of the Tory govern- mient is almost finished and it might not want a winter elec- tion. Premier William Davis can not caîl an election until the Qucen leaves on Oct. 7. The announcement could be made as early as Oct. 9, plus 44 ciays which are required between the announicement and election and t hat would set Nov. 22 as the date, says Cureatz. But officiais say this i1s merely speculation and on- ly Premier Davis knows when rhe election will be called.

Darc Campbell, Liberal can- didate, says he'd be happy ta attend although his campaign manager Francine Newton says some debates aren't run very well. 'People for Peace wants the candidates to speak on nuclear disarmament at the meeting.

American Tourists Julie Emin of the Whitby Tourist Information Centre, said the number, of American tourists stopping at the sta- tion is up from last year. Two major factors are probably the cause; the lnw rate of ex- change of the Canadian dollar and the huge publicity campaigns carried out in the U.S. by the federal and pro- vincial governments. The Americans who stop in Whit- by are interested mainly in such things as the Thousand Islands, Cullen Gardens, Toronto tourist sites and camping and fishing in Nor- thern Ontario. Man killed in car acci- dent Zenon Szczygiel, a 33 year old Pontypool man, died after this car left the road, hit the guardrails and rolledl off Highway 35 just. north of where it meets HighwaY 115. Police say hie was alone in the car. Increase in Sexiial Abuse Cases Mort Marder, acting direc- tor of the Durham Children's Aid Society, says there wiil be no investigation into the ma- jor increase in reported cases of sexual abuse. The increase, hie says, is due to a greater public awareness. People are more willing to get involved. He expects the numbers will continue to increase and if so, a ýbudget increase will be needed. The Chilàl Welfare Act makes it law po deal with these problems1 and Marder says every caîl must be answered. Eighty per cent of the budget is supplied by the provincial government, while the other twenty percent comes from Durham Region. by Arlin Hackman - Federa- tion of Ontario Naturalists WILDLIFE CONFERENCE HERALDS SUCCESSES Each year, the Federal- Provincial Wildlîfe Con- ference gives individuals from government wildlife agencies and private conser- vation organizations a much- needed opportunîty to ex- change information, discuss priorities for action and evaluate past efforts. The 48th such meeting, with a theme of "Team Work in Wildlife Management" took place earlier this summer in Timmins, Ontario. As delegates learned, there are some real success stories in: rehabilitating wildlife species threatened with extinction, which demonstrate that team work is reaily taking place. * The swift fox, a shy, house cat sized native of the great plains is making a corn- eback. Extinct in Canada since. 1930's, the greyish, bush-tailed animal, which can outrun a jack rabbit, has been re-introduced to its former range in Alberta. * Despite the shootink death of the only breeding Peregrine Falcon in Ontario in 20 years, the Federal- Provincial re-introduction program appears to be work- îng. These lightening-fast raptors are returning to, release sites in various loca-, tions across Canada, in- cluding Toronto, and suc- cessfully nested this summer in Montreal. *- Wild Turkeys re- introduced to Ontario in îMarch, 1984 have quickly set- tled down to breed, with as many as twelve eggs being spotted in one nest. Segnals from radio collars allow con- tinuous discreet monttoring* tops them ail. Less than 15 re- mained only two decades ago when efforts were launched to save this gant migratory bird. This year more than 140 h9ve been counted. Further, wil4life 'managers are enlÎsting*Îî;dhili Cranes in Idaho to hatch and reï y oung Whoopers in the hopâ-' of developing new breedi59j and wintering sites, Iessenting the vulnerability of the entire population to a- single catastrophe in its Alberta and Texas homes. Taken altogether, thesc inchievements are a real testa- ment to the skill and coopera- tion of an incredible range of organizations and in- dividuals. Some of our in- terventions in nature are beneficial. Job Printing Cal I Orono Times Ororio, Ontario of these majastic birds, * Sea Otters were wiped out. in Canada by the early 2th ce ntury. But their numbers are recovering beautifully, following a re-introduction proÉram on the west coast of Vancouver Island some fif- teen years ago. Estimated to' number only 70 in 1977, the total population is now thought to number 350. The otter is still on Canada's En- dangered Species list but hopefully not for long.. * >1'he Wood Bison had al but disappeared by 1900. And efforts to build up the plains-dwelling sub-species since that time, have kept the survival of this larger, darker boreal forest relative in jeopardy, due to hybridiza- tion. But since 1958, re- location and careful manage- ment have swelled the numbers of Wood Bison from 200 to 1300. Ironically, no pure stock remains in the national park which took its name from this great animal. *, The Whooping Crane r\@ THE HEAT PUMP DOES ITALL Escape the swelter of sommer heoit.
