This bird is a Hungarian Partridge, introduced in this district in 1933, and still seen around the district. Conservation Officer Ed Mantle of Haileybury has asked the Speaker to co-operate in finding whether enough of the birds are still alive to warrant management designed to encourage the Hungarian population for local sports. Sidewalk Superintendants Include Haileybury Children Sidewalk superintendents get a lot of fun out of watching the going up of a new building. Most men -- and quite a few women -- stand and watch: the excavation machin- ery, the digging of trenches, the catwalks being slung, the pouring of cement and all the fascinating things the men in tin hats are en- gaged in. And many a telegram or parcel gets to its destination Jong after scheduled time while its carrier is engrossed in the study of building construction. But. it is after working hours that the small fry come into their own, when there are no impatient work- ers to order them from the prem- ises: Most large construction jobs. have watchmen on duty when the workers leave and these guardians. don't go along with the youngsters' enquiring minds. It is the project without a watchman that offers the kids a field day. There may be a nice deep trench half filled with water that makes a dandy place for sailing bits of wood. It's lucky for Junior if his _ pals are with him when he slips in from the wet edges of the trench. They. can pull him out of the water. There may pe other trenches that are dry but the sides may be loose and sandy and these may slide and bury a kid. : Then there are ladders and all manner of climbing places so that a little guy can get 'way up to a third or fourth floor, and some- times he can't get down again with- out adult help. And adults in such cases. aren't always understanding. Sometimes, just the law of gravity brings the kid down. Outside, there are heaps of sand, and lime, and stuff. The lime _ could of course, get into the eyes and cause blindness. There may be large pieces of machinery on build- ing projects and someone, absent- mindly, could have left things so|- that just a push of that lever and{ HELP WANTED - MALE ICE-MAKER and CARETAKER Written applications for the above position - should he mailed to the undersigned not later than September 3, 1960.

If there is a building project any- where near your home, don't let your youngsters play on the pre- mises. Not only may they damage the building materials, they may damage themselves. If you own the construction pro- ject, have a watchman to guard the premises from the depredations of youngsters.

Ed. Mantle, Haileybury Conser- vation Officer from MHaileybury told the Speaker that Dymond, Harris and Bucke Townships were stocked with these fine game birds over 25 years ago, and at one time they were quite numerous. The Conservation Officer said that he has had the birds under ob- servation for several years, and had spotted one covey in 1955 that numbered 32. He counted another 20 the following year, Both of these flocks were seen in Bucke Town- ship. More birds were seen in 1957, 1958 and.1959, and reports fromtis- trict hunters are that they are seattered widely around the lake- head farming areas. Farmers and sportsmen in. the area could help with this survey by reporting to the Speaker any ap- pearance of these birds, and dis- trict sportsmen have suggested that their numbers would increase significantly if farmers could be induced to Jeave a slim strip of grain. standing along the edges 'of théir fields, particularly along- side any woodlots or bushland. The birds are slightly smaller than the native ruffed grouse, from 12 to 14 inches in length, have a The Weather . Week ending August 16, 1960. Max. Min. Wednesday statis sek 73 54 PBN S eyes.
