- July 24th, 1931. [| -- roy THE DRYDEN OBSERVER ~ CANADIAN CHAUTAUQUA This brilliant scintillating comedy of American ho new for Canadian Chautauqua audiences. "SKIDDING" The cast is excellent, appreciated by people in every community throughout the Dominion. In the twentieth century, families, like automobiles, do a lot of "skidding," but with results. A fine love story i is interwoven through the play. me and political life will be something altogether and the characters of the p play will be mere tragie : fim JACK MINER CLAIMS WOLVES ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR DECREASE OF THE DEER IN ONTARIO--NOT THE HUNTER "Take Parry Sound and French River territory where the deer have been the thickest, this territory is parly settled, more thickly by far than north of Sudbury on C.P.R. More -hunt- ers by far in this territory than any other place in Ontario, yet no one started to notice a big decrease in deer until wolves started to come in in great num- bers, which was between five and ten years ago. Then north of Sudbury on C.- PR. between Sudbury and Chapleau where twenty years ago deer were plentiful, but to- day in comparison they are very scarce. Had it been the hunters who had reduced them they would have reduced the moose to same extent, when fact of matter is moose are fairly plenti- ful. Then again, take Algonquin There are no more deer since wolves came in than elsewhere, except around the settlers' and fire ranger's homes where the wolves don't venture. ; Take Northern Michigan which is all settled as thickly and more so than Parry Sound, where there are practically no timber wolves--no dogs allowed and only bucks allowed killed. In spite of 75,000 licensed deer hunters in such a small territory in comparison to Ontario, deer are inereasing to such an extent in a few years it will be a pro- blem to control the herd, and they have no cover for winter protection like Ontario affords our deer. They only have burnt over sand hills and brush. Take Pennsylvania thirty-five years ago, they had no deer and wealthy men imported them there and liberated them in their ago they started having season on bucks only, dogs allowed, the result an open and no ig, even | with Pennsylvania having as many people as we have in the whole of Canada, the deer have become and they have got to open a season on does to de- crease their flock to control the huge- herd. Little Nova Scotia where no wolves exist, and is thickly pop- ulated; and first deer were lib- erated in March, 1896, and open season declared in 1916, deer have inereased to same extent as in Pennsylvania. But there were no wolves, no dogs allowed .to run them and only bucks allow- ed killed. The Ontario Government has raised 'the . wolf bounty from $15.00 to $25.00, which in these days of depression should be a great. enducement to the trapp- ers and other men to concentrate on reducing the number of wol- ves in our provinee."
