IF YOU KILL TIMBER RATTLER, YOU'RE BREAKING LAW If you wantonly kill a timber rattler in Ontario you can be liable under The Endangered Species Act to a $3,000 fine or a prison term of up to six months. This province is probably the first in the world to give protection to a venomous snake but chances of finding a timber rattler here Leo Bernier stated are remote. In Ontario, the last officially recorded timber was in I94I and the last known fatality was a soldier bitten by one, back in I8I2. Another snake - the blue racer - and two birds of prey - the peregrine falcon and bald eagle - have been listed, along with the timber rattler, as endangered species. The two reptiles and two birds are being threatened with extinction and the penalty applies to anyone who contravenes the Act which is administered in this province by the Ministry of Natural Resources.

Now that's not like the New York Rangers you and I know. What they're doing right now -- losing all those games, I mean =-- is a complete reversal of past years. Isn't it more like the Rangers to lead the league for half, sometimes three quarters, continued page 5 | ox Town. REMBER FURNITURE WAREHOUSE I20I W.Walsh Street Thunder Bay,Ont.
