treat ment in the press billie hurley president of the york county elementary teachers association of federations ycetaf said here friday one v of nine panel members participating in a discussion on ethics in education during a professional activity program mrs hurley said isolated incidents can become region wide public issues once they are revealed in the press when it gets into the press it is generalized she noted the broad ranging discussions focused on a wide range of com munications issues in cluding procedures for parents to file complaints against teachers michael bailie president of the thornhiu parents council said parents dont knowwho to go to with a complaint against a teacher it isnt always possible with todays way of life to communicate with the school he explained noting that some parents fear reprisals if they report the teacher to the school principal keswick public school principal k g tonner said some parents will go directly to the trustee asked how trustees handle such a report separate school representative john- stephen said the com plaint would be referred through the normal channels including principal and superin tendent or if the matter was serious sent directly to the education director trustees disagreed on the ethics and pressures involved in a principal reporting a teachers performance to a parent since both are members of the same federation the pressure on principals must be intolerable- said king trustee margaret coburn they are drawn in two directions she said suggesting principals should have their own federation but east gwillim bury trustee joy horton disagreed the boards current designation of principal teacher is more workable said the east gwillimbury trustee since it encourages team work in response to mr bailies call for the board to establish a definite procedure for handling complaints mr stephens said the problem is not serious and is adequately handled at the present time education director sam chapman said under board policy all com plaints must be taken seriously and followed through trustees were asked what ethics are involved in their discussions with the press 4 east gwillimbury representative joy horton said trustees have a right to speak against board decisions but king trustee margaret coburn disagreed as a corporate body argued mrs coburn the board should present a united image with all trustees supporting the wishes of the majority mrs horton however said trustees are elected on a par ticular platform should a board recycling display recycling depot volunteers have mounted a

of our respon sibilities to wildlife but this is- not- true to husband ourvfishand wildlife resource management is vital man affects all wildlife in one way or another true his effects have often been destructive but he can conserve as well as destroy it is rarely pointed put that some animal species which were rare in colonial days are thriving today because of compatible human influences on the jf environment- well designed management efforts and sound provincial and federal wildlife management programs 1 the vital element in any management program is habitat and the essential components of the habitat of every species are food water and cover to ignore this clement is to place the species in jeopardy the specific needs of each wildlife species vary from those of other species even though they may occupy the- same area the water requirements of a desert jack rabbit differs from those of a beaver what might satisfy a meadow mouse for food and cover all year wouldnt satisfy ah elk for a day caribou and cougars range over wide areas while shrews and moles will live out their lives in a small corner of a field or woodlot the habitat of some species is highly specialized for example most woodpeckers require- dead and dying trees for their food and nesting sites but the gila woodpecker of the desert southwest requires the larger cacti for its nesting holes when computed in detail the range in variety of habitat of every species is almost infinite k to protect and preserve our wildlife resource we need an understanding of their habitat needs that is a and enhancing habitat wherever possible ideal habitat can be created and its potential for in crease in wildlife- populations is amazing both game and nongame species benefit from management practices total protection is a dangerous over simplification in protecting one species which is overpopulating an area other species may be reduced or eliminated by the abundant species the degree of protection offered to the different species will vary nearly all birds and mammals receive some degree of legal protection wedont believe in wildlife management just leave the animals alone those oftrepeated statements are dangerous and foolish remarks to make put them into practice and we would be doing a great disservice to wildlife those who advocate such an unthinking course would be dooming the- very creatures they are trying to protect mans effects on the en- vironment are too complex and over powering to leave the animals completely to fend for themselves most of mans ad verse influences on wildlife have been and still arc unintentional residential expansion industrial complexes mechanized farming transportation systems draining marshes and overgrazing by livestock are just some of the habitatdestroying fac- tors which wildlife has to contend with the brutalities historically attributed to hunters involved mainly paid butchers who had no relationship at all with the modern sport hunter from the standpoint of wildlife conservation hunting must be judged solely on its affect on the animal species hunted many game species have increased in spite of growing numbers of hunters if properly regulated sport hunting hasno adverse affect must understand the past around 1900 most authorities did not believe that the larger forms of wildlife would survive beyond 1920s however this pessimistic view did not foresee the scientific wildlife management program that developed in the 1930s and which have continued to ex- pand in ontario for example the beaver was reduced drastically but u nd e r proper management it is prospering throughout the province out west bison pronghorn an telope and elk which were dangerously low at the turn of the century are now doing well the whitetailed deer which was eliminated from much of eastern north america is nbwabundant over this area in 1915 the wood duck was greatly reduced in numbers and was once considered a candidate for early ex tinction but today it is the most common breeding waterfowl in eastern usa f twentyfour provin cial wildlife areas are distributed across southern ontario and are open all year round to a great variety of outdoor recreationa 1 op portunities these lands are not parks but have been acquired to protect yital habitat of a wide range of wildlife our wildlife heritage is a rich one and to retain it we must learn to apply scientifically sound facts to the management of wild species resorting to simple solutions based on un scientific emotions is a very unsound and thoughtless approach
