-- \ Deal of a meal Andrew Garcia, 11 months old, found out he could get a deal of a meal and help third- world relief at the same time. So he showed up at the Salvation Army on Dominion Street last week and was caught by the Midland Times as he took a bite. New pond helps conserve wildlife Conservation is in action with the Georgian Bay Hunters and Anglers as their fish pond was official- ly opened Friday, May 29 by Minister of Natural Resources Vince Kerrio. After getting a partial grant from the government the Georgian Bay Hunters and Anglers (GBH&A) made way fora pond which will in essence be the tool, of giving back to nature what fishermen take out. It is full of small pickerel, 125,000, which in a few months will be released in the Georgian Bay waters (Port Severn and Waubau- shene). Fish eggs were collected in the Port Severn, North River area and kept in a hatchery at Pointe Au Baril. When they started to hatch,. the eggs were dumped in the pond. Here they will be kept until mid- September when they will be large enough to be transported to open waters. The pond will be drained and the fish collected. "These are the best dollars we spend, pro- grams that aid conserva- tion in any way," said Ker- rio adding that conserva- tion programs like this are a credit to the sportsmen who enjoy fishing. Kerrio says the money generated from the new fishing licence laws will go right back into the conservation of the sport. "It is like hav- ing to pay a user fee," he comments. The pond is being nam- ed after Lorne "Smokey" Woods for his dedication to the association. Loyd Wilson, member, is in care of the fish cultivating. Kerrio in his closing comments thanked the Georgian Bay Hunters and Anglers and the North Simcoe Anglers and Hunters (who worked in co-operation with the GBH&A) for their efforts in conserving nature. While thanking the fishermen he jokingly asked how he would include the expert women fishers too. Fisher- people was suggested.

The feeding habits, mating behaviour, and methods of communication used by these marine giants, as well as the history of their fight for survival, are featured in the exhibit. uses "We are very proud to have this remarkable ex- hibit at Wye Marsh," says Bob Whittam, the centre's executive director. "This is the last chance to view it in Canada until 1988. The whales exhibit is part of our special programs in honour of Wildlife '87 and Environment Week." Whales have become a potent symbol of the world's endangered wildlife and of our respon- sibility to the environment. A recent ban on whale hunting has rescued these vulnerable monsters from the edge of extinction. Now, hunting has been replaced by the thrilling new sport of 'whale- watching'.
