The Campbellton team played only three defensemen during the game but their work was less- ened somewhat by the continual back-skating of the three. well- balanced forward lines.

It was not intended as a get rich' scheme so why pay out S3500 for a job when equal results may be ob- tained by payment of 55.00. Bounties came up for consider- able discussion during the recent Federal-Provincial Wildlife Con- ference held at Montreal. Many provincial game Departments have reached the conclusion that bounty payment is not an effective method of controlling predators. It was announced by the Game Commissioners of British Colum- bin, Alberta. Saskatchewan and Manitoba that bounties on wolves. including coyotes. had been dis- continued ln their respective provinces. Instead of bounty pay- ment in new and deadly poison has been developed and used by speci- ally traiued Government personnel. 0 O 3
