A seagull, which for 22 years visited the Hutchings family at 1907 Fort Street, Victoria, may have set a record for longevity for the species. This is based on the fact that the bird was reported as fully grown when it was first seen, making it at least 3 years and 8 months old at that time. It would then appear that the glaucous-winged gull. could have “been 25 years and 6 months old when it disappeared oe ia in 1974. le by a The bird, recognizab distinct split in the web be- tween its second and third toes, first. visited the Hutchings residence in the spring of 1952.

The hearing was the ing session of a nation vide series of 10 public. hearings about car rental operations at 65 government airports, 15 of them in B.C. Some critics at the hearing said the new system would be inflationary. and recommended its arrangements be submitted . to the anti-inflation board. Canada Safety Council Seeks Contributions The Canada Safety Couneil is seeking the answer to a difficult question. Like a great many agencies that depend on grants and donations for survival, the council is caught in a squeeze between rising inflation-1 prices on the one hand, and fairly steady contributions on the other, It takes a year or two, susually, for the latter to catch up. Meanwhile, the council says, safety programs that are desperately needed are held up or curtailed due to: Inck of sufficient funds to get the job done. ‘The council would like to reach a select group of people— those who might be encouraged to make a memorial tax de- ductible contribution to the work of the council in its accident prevention programs, Such contributions could be “placed into any form of. safety program—traffic injury prevention, child safety at home or school, water safety, or whatever is most preferred. ‘The council says that if auch donations were common- place, the accidental loss of one’ life gold be the begining of means of saving many oth However, the subject ‘is dell cate, and the coun hesti- TRUCKLOAD SALE OF FISH. : Over 50 Varieties iS ‘ TOMORROW, FRIDAY.
