ways bucking some move. I do' not deny this. For years I fought the amendment to the Game Act that 2 cat. rifles be made. legal for hunting rabbits. 1i maintained that once it was le- gal to carry a 22 rifle for hunt- ing rabbits it was the insertion of the thin edge of a wedge... it would be used on everything that moved. I also opposed the extension of the trout fishing
season from September 15 to
30 on the grounds that too many spawning trout would be slau- ghtered. many of which would have deteriorated. both in tex- ture and flavour. to the. point where they would have become unpalatable for table use and fit only as cat food or cast out oti the manure pile.
I am still of the same opinion and quite a number pressed the view this legislation was definitely harmful to our trout. and game. They didn't see it at the time but are new con- vinced both changes in the re-
