This year the convention will be divided "into fourteen study groups which will work out their own agenda in sessions spread» out. over two days. Such a convention makes an interesting experiment for it is here that represent- atives from different walks of life meet on a common level to thrash out philosophies standards of achievement; and courses to be taught in our schools. The team address at the Coliseum pointed but that Our own the County of the future is in the hands of our plowmen because they are the real warriors in the battle against poverty and degradation. On the radio and in the press the Com- petition was given much publicity and we -- think that this is as it should be. things such as this should be receiving the. attention of our news gatherers and com- mentators and less space should be given to gangsters and their doings . only thing that upsets us is that we weren't * able to see the show on television, : More . the THE PASSING SHOW o by Premier Maurice Duplessis seems to think that it's safe for the people of .

PTL LEA Farm Facls - FARMER - HUNTER RELATIONS 'Guns are barking across the coun- try. Farmers are keeping a wary eye on their livestock as red-capped hunt- ers stalk through fields' and wood- lands on the lookout for game. . Sev- eral cows and horses will fall victim 'to "the irresponsible actions of a few so-called sportsmen. "I .thought it was a deer" is becoming a trite phrase even among hunters themselves, But it's gtill. in common use--after a fel- low/ hunter or a domestic animal has "bedn shot. here 'are: still. too many weekend hunters 'who sally forth into the rural areas in the béllef the land belongs to them. They blaze away at rocks, tin cans, trees and buildings with lit- tle thought of what may be within effective range of their bullets. They cut wire fences and fail to mend them after they leave. They open gates and neglect to -close. them with the result that livestock wander off and the farmer must spend tedious hours rounding them up. They often start bush and grass fires on private pro- petty, - Because of such thoughtless acts, relations between farmers and hunt- ers have deteriorated to such an ex- tent that some' farmers actually arm themselves to protect. their property against hunters. "No hunting" signs are becoming more frequent. Soon hunters will have to travel farther a- field for game because no farmer will tolerate hunting on his property. This situation need not exist if _ hunters observe common courtesy says K. N. Morris, executive director of the Canadian Civilian Association of Marksmen. First, he . suggests, get the farmer's: permission to hunt on his land, If permission is not granted respect the farmer's decision. Treat the farmer's property as jf it were your own, Close gates after you pgss through them. Don't shoot in. th mediate --vieinity of the: barnyard. ~Be absolute ly certain that what you're shooting at is legitimate. game dnd not farm stock or poultry. Know the range of your ammunition. 'A 22 long rifle will carry a mile; a 303 three miles, Observe provincial game laws by shooting no more than your limit. Be "sure to thank fhe'farmer when you're leaving his property, been Successful, offer him a portion of your game, If he is a shooter, leave a few cartridges or shells or some token payment. means offer to pay for livestock you might have shot accidentally. Observance of these simple courte- sfes will usually assure you of a place to exercise our hunting instificts next year. ~Agricultural News, é 1f the fufit has And by all is : Port Perry, Ontarlo, grt " THURSDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1952 ALL SERENE ON THE SCUGOG SHORE-- Scenic beguty of Lake .Scugog's io aras shore is part of Caerarea's charm as a summer resort--and the community life of which ° Joy Perigoe, 13, and five-year-old Carol Blyth, are a part. of Scugog was featured by the Toronto Telegram on Saturday and is'earried on page one), BUSINESS DIRECTORY Looking Back 15 Years FROM THE FILES OF THE PORT PERRY STAR--THURSDAY, Gordon Gi.
