BY JACK WHITE

I was a wee mite late in get-
ting the colu;nn in the week before
last, with the net result that it
didn't go to press till last week,
Worst of all was that it went to
Press on Monday, and on Tuesday,

conservation, came forth with the
news release that, "DUCK LAKE

are Jast after a fight of several
years and particularly the last

au sanctuary, by the Associated
West Kootenay Rod and Guin Clubs,
as or rather is being recognized,
I could shout for joy at this, the
findl recognition of one of the
toughest fights ever put up by
sportsmen and conservationists in
their continual struggle for the
perpetuation of our wildlife and
protection of: it's habitat,

That the government of this
province has seen fit to back the
recommendations of sportsmen and
the department of reereation and

five for the of such

servation proves beyond a sha-

dow of doubl that, a sensible field
of wildlife: mana
servation is opening up in our pro-
vince today. It also makes those
who have worked so hard in the
field of conservation, proud and
happy to know that, through the
combine efforts of all concerned,
our wildlife resourees of this pro-
vince of ours are not only being
protected but put on a plane whi-
ch helps to guarantee that there
will be no annihilation of this re-
source in the future,

The minister announced that,

Of these, there are four poles to

Mr. Bosse sugested that the

anything at all makes enemies, es-
pecially in the often-crucl calling
of politics,

In ringing tones, the. Premier
finished his welghty budget ad-
dress’ in these terms of confidence
and enthusiasm:

and a continuing sound financial

selves great liberty, and so they
wander all over the place, up hill

Revelstoke and Highways Minister
Gaglardi, but Premier Bennett
says all the specchifying shows de-
mocracy’s in full and fine flower
in B.C. under Social Credit aus-
pices, of course.

There was’ practically nothing
rew in the Premicr’s 1964 bud-
Het. Most of the goodies the Pre-
mier had promised last year;. as
he toyed with the idea of a sur-
prise election. Some people would
say he used, the promise of good-
ies-to-eome as election bribe, but
I wouldn't know anything about
that, You make up your own mind.

Our super-enthusiastic Premier
insists this is a land of milk and
honey, but, as I. listened to him
reading his budget, I couldn't find
any place where I'd be paying
less taxes. I don’t own a home,
and I live on Vancouver Island,
where we haven't any toll bridges,
If I must go to the mainland I
have to pay a toll-— and no re-
lief there, ‘

The Premier is terrifically
proud of his new bank. He says

minister said. Most of the land is
under’ erown control but problems
concerning jurisdictional rights ¢x-
ists and will be solved to the satis-
faction of all concerned, he said:
It was a tough and costly fight:
to hold this land until the govern-
ment acted and as I said last: week
the West Kootenay Rod and Gun
Clubs still have a tab of $1,440 to
pick up on dyking fees and: taxes
for this area. If you are interested
in waterfowl or even conservation
in general you can do your part
by taking out a membership in the
Duek Lake Foundation. It will cost
you five dollars but when you sec
what can be done with the com-’
bined efforts of conservation mind-
ed people, it is money well spent.
Just contact Joe Fodor at Castlegar

will see that your membership
is obtained, post haste.
