In his most delightful it and educational talk he expressed his fi pleasure in being here for the evening. His chief topic was that of conserva- tion of wild fowl, fish and game, and is of the conservation of our forests, the replenishing of our forests by plant- ing,, also how short a time the forests can last, with fire destroying vast ) areas through the dropping of cigar- } ! 'ettes and lighted matches into the dry substances on the ground, and not putting out camp fires completely be- fore leaving them," All these are avoided by care. : The speaker stated that in 1900 there : was a fire ranger staff of one ranger A .while in-1958 the staff contained 1568 B VA "rangers, He spoke of the importance | Kb of the work of the Department from { the minister down to the most junior a men; of the working of the air patrol . and how they operate in and out of a iy small areas; of the radio, and tele- 4 phone, how they operate and the speed i. with which rangers can be put into Ei the area to fight: the fires, with much: J equipment to help them. His talk re- ferred to the long-term program for the management of 'fish, fowl and 3 : game conservation; also. the establish- "ment of an educational plan and the mapping of traplines so that there will be no poaching on each others lines and with regard to the number of animals in the area so that they may not be depleted too greatly and! s0 killed off entirely. I Mr. Rhymas in his talk, regretted that of all hunters and fishers so many disregard the game laws, which have been made in order to keep these same people supplied with game for hunting and fishing, He suggested that Dad could make an enjoyable hunting or fishing trip by taking along sonny, and what a big kick he will get out of his first fish!
