L 1 ‘ AUTO DRIVING HINTS AS REVEALED BY EXAMINER In tests seen in recent days, it beâ€" comes plain that ignorance of many drivers as to traffic regulations, safety rules and courtesy obligations is marked.~ Performance of motors on the streets suggests that thousands who do possess operator‘s licenses may be no better informed or better educated in safe driving than those who now come up before the examâ€" iners for road tests, It would do anyâ€" one a heap of good, if he is not vain of his driving, to go about for an hour with one of these examiners and have the cardina!l points empbasized in a manner that can result only from long experience and an expert knowledge of all the rules of theâ€"game.

It is fully realized that development of_the natural resources will depend on a robast native popuâ€" lation and an abundance of wild life. In conformity with this realization, gome preserves have been set aside for the sole use of the natives; exâ€" pert investizators have been detailed to examine and report on wild life conditions; experiments have been been conducted with a view to the inâ€" troduction of new species of animal life; and regulations have been enâ€" forced with regard to the destruction of predatory animals. One of the most important experiments has been conâ€" cerned with the transferring to. the Wood Buffalo park at Fort Smith of a large number of buffalo, which were surplus at the Wainwright park Al-‘ berta. ‘The experiment has been watâ€" ched carefully for three years and n1 is now known to have proved a great success. | CONSERVING WILD LIFE IN CANADA‘S NORTHERN AREAS Addition Planned for Wood Buffalo Parkâ€"Game Preserves to Proâ€" tect Natives‘ Foodâ€"Government Investigating Reindeer Raising ‘).Iied by the Lincoin and Welland regiment for the Peace lay in his window on Main Street.

For the purpose of studying this problem the department of the interior in 1926 engaged the services of the brothers A. E. and R. T. Porsild, men of wide experience in the Arctic regions and with a broad knowledge of wild life, They are to investigae thoroughly all. the conditions relative to the possibâ€" Hlities of introducing reindeer into the Mackenzle basin. Should conditions prove favorable, the public investment which will be Involved, even in e#â€" tablishing a minimum of 2,000 aniâ€" mals, will amount to a considerable sum of money. Moreover past experâ€" lence in other portions of the Arctic has shown that reindeer cannot be expected to thrive in certain localities where moss in sufficient quantities for feed cannot be grown. Fallure has consequently resvited in the caso of â€" experiments . which . commenced very favorably. There is good reason to think that the Lower . Mackenzio valley and Great Bear lake district can support reindeer, and when the reports are submitted the department of the interior will be in a position to weigh aspects of the case.
