Cut the Bag Limit

The following editorial comment of the Ash-
croft Journal, which also quotes its contemporary
at Williams Lake, will be of interest to the many
game hunters from this section of the “lower
mainland” who annually trek to the Cariboo for
sport and meat.

moose “sportsmen” from the lower mainland and
across the line who are fast depleting this great
north country of its wild game tor the sake of a
“photo and a pat on the back.”
7 Since September 15, the opening date for big
game in Cariboo, cars) that would require an add-
ing machine to tally their number, have been seen
passing through this town and along the highway
leading to the coast loaded to capacity with deer
moose and sheep — some dragging heavily laden
trailers with as many as half a dozen carcasses of
various game aboard.

the attention and followed by swarms of blow
flies following like a flock of gulls tagging along
after a ship at sea. Of course sportsmen are not
interested in the meat so much as they are in
showing off to the world what fun they have had
and what they have accomplished in their ten-
day trip to Cariboo, and in a spirit of rivalry in
the game of hunting.

It is reported that since the season opened, a
count of deer and moose carried out of Cariboo
has been kept at the Yale toll gate, and it is
said that up to November 1, 2000 buck deer and
400 moose have passed through. And this does
not include the hundreds of animals that have
been shipped out by truck and railway, which
would probably account for another thousand. The
season has yet another month to go.

The Williams Lake paper says: “Usually the

Americans are trophy hunters, leaving the meat
in the woods and only taking the heads, but this
year every pound of meat has been taken out...
L. Jobin, game warden, says at least 155 Ameri-
can hunters have registered at Williams Lake
alone, and each of thése men had at least one

“The district was recently filled with meat hun-
ters, and at least 30 moose were taken out, and
people are beginning to wonder where the thing
will stop, and if there would continue to be
enough moose to go around.”

Similar reports of big game bags by Ameri-*
cans and lower mainland hunters have appeared
in other newspapers. Another report has it that
does are being shot by outside hunters in hopes
that the low of averages will prove its truth and,
one of the animals turn out to be a spike buck.

Hunters and non-hunters in the interior are

country; but, with no apparent shortage of gaso-
line, they can come to British Columbia and carry
home two deer, one moose, two sheep and a
couple of bear. Good hunting, we'd say, but
poor business for this province! Is it not time the
government stepped in and slashed the bag limit
in two and stopped this wholesale slaughter of
our wild game? If such a move is not taken at
once, deer and moose may shortly disappear the
way of the buffalo.

In the event that the government looks at the
situation from a revenue producing point of view
(as also the hundreds of guides and big game
camps in B.C,), it is a very short sighted policy,
because with a country depleted of game, this
revenue will not longer exist. AND what any
one man wants With two deer, a moose and two
sheep, is beyond the understanding of any nor-
mal-minded person,

Tiny Stickers Save Lives

We all know how far an ounce of prevention ‘ whom he comes in contact.

is supposed to go. It has been drilled into us
from childhood until its very triteness makes it
emphatic.

Well, it really isn’t a true saying, for rather
than it being as valuable as a pound of cure it
could easily be worth a ton - - - or even many
tons of inestimable curative values.

How inappropriate the saying really is can
be judged from examples in our home life every
day. And one of the greatest examples is a pre-
ventive battle that is being waged in the Province
of British Columbia now. Z

It is the fight against tubercUlosis. And in this
warfare the ammunition of prevention so far sur-
passes the other féatures that our supposed truism
is forgotten entirely.

If, however, he goes unnoticed, if the disease
is allowed to spread it becomes an Attila, scourg-
ing the helpless body and looking afresh for new
fields to conquer.

One of the first steps in our winning battle
against the disease is public information, with the
stress on prevention, and the early discovery of
new cases.

In this fight the public itself is asked to take
a hand, and each year is given an opportunity
to assist through the sale of Christmas: Seals.

. Money from these tiny and decorative stickers
has in the past saved thousands of lives and is
an insurance on safety in the future. Christmas
Seals themselves are as important to the season
