The amendment would pro vide for control of these species to be vested in the provincial government rather than in the municipalities. Whether he will introduce the amendment depends in part on information forthcoming from two questions he asked acting environmental management Leonard Evans in the legislature Friday he said. He Jas led if poisons were being used As a predator control measure and which municipalities offer bounties on Preda tors. Or. Evans said he could not answer these questions but will get information on them. Outside the legislature or. Allard said he was concerned about protecting bears and wolves from being senselessly wiped out As they have been in some districts. He said he asked questions on the subject in the legislature in order to Check on what Rem Nants of the old predator control system still exist in Mani Toba with a View to bringing the matter into line with mod Ern thinking.

He said that instead of allow ing inmates to write letters to their families and friends and to receive and read daily news papers the government has built Golf courses Tennis courts and baseball diamonds in the correctional institutions. And instead of continuing with the prison farm system allowed inmates to work off their Energy while paying part of their govern ment allows the prisoners week end passes to see their girl friends or go to parties and get High on i. Or. Borowski said if he had his Way he would take or.
