Patricia, ~ Superior. =~ E t k . | . | [ t | | i The first of 25 historical cairns' ereeted by the Government of Alberta marks the site of "The Ribstones" near Viking. Two recks, carved and chiselled so as to resemble the ribs of buffalo, are marked by the cairn. The ribstones are believed to have had a sacred significance to Indians of this area for more than 1,000 years. According to legend associated with the stone carvings, Indians sacrificed buffalo on the stones at the commencement of each hunt, in the belief that such sacrifices would ensure success. 'Increase B ag Limits For Rare Wood Duck Toronto--The Hon. J. W. Spooner has announced that duck seasons in Ontario will be from September 15th and December 15th in the ' Northern District, from September _ 23rd-to December 15th in the Cen- - tral District and from twelve noon ' October 7th to December 15th in . the Southern District. The seasons - are set by Federal Order-in-Council based on co-operative 'studies made _ by biologists of the Canadian Wild- _ life Service and the Ontario De- partment of Lands and Forests. A special season for geese only . has been set in Essex County, and this will be from twelve noon Oc- tober 7th to December 31st. | Due to poor breeding success it bas been necessary to reduce the bag. limit to five ducks per day and a total possession limit has been set at ten. Canvasback and _ redhead ducks -have. suffered par- ticularly: from the drying up of potholes on their prairie breeding grounds, and the bag limit has been reduced to one canvasback ' or redhead. 'This is construed as a "mistake" bird but where-ever * hhunters encounter redheads or the @anvasbacks they should desist from hunting unless they are -posi- tive that the ducks they shoot are not "cans" or redheads. Wood ducks have been increas- -. ing in Ontario in recent years, and the limit has been increased to two per day on this species. Mer- Zansers are not included in the bag or possession limits. For geese the total number which may be killed in one day is five and the possession limit is ten birds. The restrictions on .shooting ducks have been modified this year to permit the use cf a long bow and arrow. Formerly it was permissible to shoot ducks only with a shotgun no larger than num- ber ten guage. The restriction on . the size of shotguns remains. At no time may a rifle be used to take migratory birds. The restrictions on. baiting have been changed so that public hunt- ing grounds eannot be affected if » neighbouring marsh owners choose to bait their own area. In 1960 at Holiday Beach Provincial Park duck hunting was' not permitted - since it was within 'one-half mile of a privately owned baited area. For many years there has been a restriction on leaving decoys ' over night in Hamilton bay. This ' section has been removed since _ the bay is within the metropoli- -' tan area of Hamilton and shooting ' is not permitted in any case. - .

Thursday, August 24, 1961 Tailgating Pays Off In Harm and Hurt Ontario is a on the whole. law-abiding place, And the takes most of law breaking wraps. But highways and the law and. op- enly, and it seems that there is | nothing that can be done about! it. Many drivers who obey most of the rules imposed by traffic regulations. and most of the rules imposed by common sense, break one important regtriction whenever they get into traffic. They follow too close! They do this day after day, as a matter of course whenever they take the wheel. Of course, they have to give*it up for awhile if they spend some time -in hospital after a rear-end collision, but they probably go. right back on the road and do it again when the fractures have healed. Nearly one out of every ten traffic smash-ups the conse- quence of following too. closely, says the Ontario Safety League. It is a terrible price to pay for the privilege, or rather stupidity, of driving along in packs. It is a price that is paid for .. NOTHING! Because tailgating does not bene- fit the driver in any way. on the streets citizens break repeatedly, dangerously is The time saved by a hurrying driver who crowds -- the ahead is negligible. In fact, in city traffice the driver who keeps well back often has the ride with the fewest hold-ups; he able to see -well. ahead and has the Opportunity to move into a free- flowing lane when something threatens to block the lane he is in. It seems that the. police have no practical way of enforcing ob- servation of 'reasonable and pru- dent' between-car distances. All they .can do is to lay charges after a collision has taken place. On 'expressways, . rear-end col- lisions are the No..1 cause. of deaths and injeries. And -yet, one rsees -examples of following dangerousty close every few seconds when driving on a super highway. The Ontario Safety League re- minds drivers. that the rule of calculating a proper distance from the vehicle ahead is: 'One car length for every 10 mph. of is speed'.
