Canada's Reindeer Herd

Progress reports received in the Northwest Terriivirics at (ilttaiva, on fawning of Catiadzfs reindvcr hcrd, reveal that approximately tliir- teen hundrcrl fawns had been added to the herd at the end of the first week of .\lay. Fawning began about the first of April and was expected to continue until about the cnd of May. Coni- plcte figures will not he available until the July round-up. but a inarkctl increase over the 118i deer horn last year is indicated.

The herd has shown steady growth since the original 2370 animals were delivered to the rein- deer station in the Mackenzie Delta area in 1935. Xotivitlistanding the usual losses incidental t0 reindeer herding. and the annual slaughter of surplus stock of steers and aged females to pro- vide food and clothing for local needs, the. deer numbered more than four thousand at the last round-up. The animals as a ivhole have adapt- ed thcmscvcs to the climate and local conditions on the reservation, and the herd has now dc- vcloped to the stage where extension of the rein- deer industry is receiving serious consideration.

Several EShlfllfiS have been in training with the government herd. but it is now proposed to establish a native herd and to increase the op- portunities for the younger natives to learn rein- deer llll$llflllflt’_\'. The plan being considered at present is to separate eight or ninc hundred deer from the government herd and place them in charge of two native families under the sitpcr- vim,“ (if a govcrmncut officer. Tihcse dccr would then bc regarded as a native herd (listinct from the main herd. and would be moved grad- ually (‘Tl\l\\'i'\f'(l in the general direction of the (_'o|ipcriniiie river. thcir ultimate destination to lie ilcterminerl later. lt has been suggested that they spend the first year at least in th-c vicinity of .\nilcr<ou river, about one hundred miles east of thc reindeer reservation, where a pre- liininziri" investigation has indicated that condi- [ions gi-iii~rnlly' arc suitable for the herding of the animals.

The National Park Act

The l:ist word on the Prince IIdivairl lslzintl National Park Act—-so far at least as the House of Commons is concerncd—ivas said by Mr. llcnnett, when a bill amending the federal italutc iias read a third time and passed. Au explanatory nolc to the hill states that “at the request of the provincial authorities and in accordance with the recommendations 0f the. Ilepartnicnfs inspectors who conferred with provincial authorities in this matter, it has been found desirable. to amend the boundaries and remove a few small areas at different points from the l’ark as originally selected which are not essential to the ilcvelopmcnt of the Park area."

.\lr. Bennett asked the Minister of Mines and Resources (lion. .\lr. Crcrar) for "a little in- formation in respect to a. matter which I brought to the attention of the House some time. ago." There was, he said, a. rather serious dispute between the Province and some of the landown- ers. He felt that the landowners, on the evidence submitted in their declaration, had made a fairly good case, and the Minister had promised to look into the matter. “I take it, when we place thc obligation upon the Province to acquire the lands, the Dominion of Canada has no desire to occupy lands with respect to which the previous owners felt that they had a grievance." Mr. Bennett ivished specifically to know "what effect this legislation may have upon the areas which

ute of Prince Edward Island.”

Mr. Crerar replied that he understood “these changes or rectifications in the park boundary lines relate to the adjustment made with the people from whom the property was acquired." He did not think there was any responsibility on the‘ Federal Government through the parks administration to sec that people whose lands may be taken for park purposes are properly compensated. "That is a matter wholly within the Province, and of course the Province has to answer to those from whom the land is ac- quircd."

Mr. Bennett: “I was not saying that the duty rests primarily on the parks branch, but I think it rests on the Dominion as a Dominion, when it is acquiring property by way of a trust, to satisfy itself in a general way that those who have been deprived of their property have had it taken from them bv due process of law. I am not going to traverse the ground I went over before; but the Minister will remember that the Province passed a statute which allowed them to take the property and fix the compensation. Tllilt is, the people who compulsorily take it fix the compensation, and there was no recource either to arbitration or otherwise I suggest that, not the parks branch but the Dominion of Can- ada would not care to acquire that land which hail a trust zittzichcd t0 it unless the Dominion felt that at least those reasonable precautions, which have always obtained in British dominions when property is taken from an OIII, hd been observed."

Vr. (‘rerarz “A rather nice point.”

.\lr. lerrnett: “No. l think the Minister said this adjustment cured it."

'l‘hat was all: there “wasn't anv more.

The amendment removes from the Park area four parcels of land, the ownership of which is

not stated

‘Mr. Angus Davidson has written a charming biography of Edward Lear, the poet and painter who gave Queen Victoria her lessons in paint- ing. He ivas better knoivn for his humorous drziivings and limericks, though he longed for recognition as a landscape painter, but there have been many famous painterscnd only too few who could make the world smile. As to the limericks, lllr. Davidson says:—“l_,ear did not invent the limerick, as has sometimes been stated j-tliough, ever since the’ publication of his first Book of Nonsense’, which introduced the form to general notice, it has been associated, ‘par ex- cellence, with ll1S'f1ZliTiC. Owing to its peculiar aptness for a certain type of epigrammatic ‘conte rlrolatique,‘ it at once became popular, and every- body. from Tennyson downwards, began to com- pose. limericks; so that, since the appearance of the ‘Book of Nonsense’, thousands have been produced, good and bad, publishable and unpub- lishable.”

lValt Disney, creator of "Snow Whig; and the Seven Dwarfs", “Mickey Mouse", "Three Little Pigs" and “Donald Duck," will receive academic recognition today, June 23, when Harvard University awards him a Master of Arts dcgree._ Though he himself had no formal college training no one has done more than Dis- ncy to popularize higher education. In fact, his whole scrclen output may be construed as a free interpretation of life on the campus, one long parable of collegiate animation. What is Mickey Mouse but the Eternal Freshman, tried by the vicissitudes of circumstance but always rising nobly above his environment? The Three Little Pigs, by the slightest stretch of the imagination, represent the three other classes meeting the Big Bad Wolf, which is the harsh World Outside, and overcoming him by su rior virtue and in- telligencc. Testy Donald ck is obviously the typical college principal. Snow White, of couuc, is Truth herself pursued by the forces of Error. The Seven Dwarfs are the busy Alumni, whist- ling while they work, among whom she takes refuge. She brings order into their household and teaches them to stuff their beards in their vests. But the Wicked Queen (The Reformers of Education) puts her to sleep with the poison- ed apple of Ideology until the Prince. in whom

There has been quite a discus- slon in Windsor about. the recent visit; of a German consular offic- ial to a. public gathering.
