Indeed, the "Victor" has been around for a long time and Murray still sells them for about 790, which is a prctty good deal! However, I've found that they don't have a 100% "catch and kill" success rate. Maybe Bob Faulkner is better at setting them 'an I. Fir stly, as any veteran mouse trapper knows, they can be very tricky to set-if it's.too "heavy" you won't catch anything and if it's too "light" you- might catch your fingeemail or knuckle! And it's a fine line between the two. Also, som mice are smart and seem to back up into the trap and you catch them by the tait. For some reason they don't like this very much and when you have eighty pounds of yellow lab chasing a mouse and "Victor" around the place (we don't have a cat) things cari get a little messed up! We actually had this happen to us at our cabin up north. You would have sworn that a ýblack bear had popped in for a 2:00, a.m. visit. After being awakened from a sound sleep and tracking down the "culprit", 1 felt hie had earnied the right to go free and turned him loose out by the outhouse. -Now, we have these new "humane" mouse traps which are somewhat like "a cardboard pup-' tent full of sticky fly paper". 1 got one, and, yes, they dIo work. Then, you have a live mouise, stuck in a gooey mess, and you're wondering what to do with it! 1 won't tell you what I did with the one that 1 caught but 1 do have some advise for you and the Faulkners. Keep your "Victor" but go with a cheap brand of peanut butter for bait. We were "feeding" our mice here at the farm the "1good stuff". We switched to another brand and haven't seen 'em since! You can't beat "good old Victor"! <Regards Bob Rotz P.S. - Off the record: You must bc winning your "battle" wîth Dr. Paul as it seems hie hasn'l had a "rebuttal" in the Times for a couple weeks! Maybe hie has "succumbed to media pressure"? Not likely! Liberal Annual. Meet (Continued from page 1) and lection of a nominee, held in Bowmanville High School, must h ave registered the largest turnout for such an event for the party in many years. Alex Shepherd of Port Perry was the ultimrate winner wh;ile the "Life Issue" members' candidate, Rosemary Conneli, also of Port Perry, went down to defeat. The "Support the Alex Shepherd Tcam" have been fast out of the starting gate for the upcoming annual meeting and election of officers. They have contacted former members of the association and have provided a suggested list of officers and directors. Heading up the list of officer is Ken Dykeman, Kendal, as presîdent and John Philips, as vice-president. Other otticers suggested are Ted Rytwinski, treasurer, Jane Reader, general secretary and June Thompson, membership secretar. The Alex Shepherd Campaign Team state that the presenit Durham Federal Liberal Association is controlled by a "Single-Interest Executive" and~ that the dedication of this group is so narrow that they refused support, financial or otherwise, to the liberal candidate Alex Shepherd in the ast election. "Let's restore AlI-Issue Liberalism to Durham Riding" is a caîl on the Shepherd Team literature that hias been sent out to former members. They also cal for the election of an executive that will follow the Liberal Party of Canada and be govemned by its policie-s and the wishes of Durham riding. The AI-ex Shepherd Team has made publie a letter, dated September 1, -1993, from the present Riding executive in which the president, J. K. Wilson, of the Association states, that the executive, with the exception of one, voted not to pro vide funds to the Alex Shepherd campaign. The letter states that there are fundamental differences regarding "ife Issues" and the committee members felt that they could flot in good conscience compromise on such basic truths. The Shepherd Teani state that an important part, of any MP's information and support network is the local riding association and the executive group that lcad it. Harris has a message Mike Harris, leader of the Ontario .Progressive Conservatives had a message for local devehopers and builders last week. He said a conservative government in Ontario would eliminate rent controls, cut non- profit housinig and eliminate red tape in the hlome construction process. COME ONE! COME ALL!
