Congratulations are in order to both squads. Fully deserving of the tiilcs tlteygnou’ hold both Leg- icnaircs and Kinsmen provccl con- tiusively that the province still is producing teams of champions. Their two recent successes kept their batting average of 1000 in- tact. throt- iitlcs out of three at- tvnrpts, (Saints previously won the intercollegiate crown) and if the Juvenile Kinsmen can come through tonight the season can be considered one of the best. ift not the best, in years.

As was evident after the first game lseglonalres had little troub- le with the Aritigonlsh team. Al- though held to a high-scoring 10- ail draw at times Thursday night. it appeared as if the locals were playing under wraps and although the visitors deserve plenty of commendation for the determina- tion and courage they displayed they at nn time could be consid- crcd on a par vcilh illc Legion out- ‘ fit. t

Harry Dicklrfs Kinsmen Mid- gets victory will be hailed with delight not only in Sumtncrslde but throughout the province. The youngsters, for many of them the first. time out of the province, proved themselves in no uncer- tain manner by capturing their ilile on Sydney ice and in ao doing showed the faith placed in them by their coach and follow- ers was well founded.

Althlough only witnessing them in action once during the season the squad at that time showed enough to warrant them as being strong title con-tenders. Well bal- anced nnd possessing plenty of speed they looked on that occa- sion to be just. as good rt midget team as had shovmn their wares here in a good many years and their performance Thursday night. certainly bears out that ssump- lion.

Although trailing by three goals Bill Boyle's Juvenile Kinsmen are confident of giving Halifax 8t. Mary's a run for the money when they tangle tonight at. the Forum in the second and deciding game nf thr- Juvenile title series for t-he Maritime crown and if the will to win means anything the Ju- veniles will add another title to the three already acquired by Island teams.

Relurning at noon yesterday by plane the Kinsmen exuded confl- denee that. they will be able to take the measure of the Santa- mnrlans tonight. However they were by no means ovcrconfident.

It ls a big order to overcome a three goal lead especially when stacked up against a team of the undoubted calibre of St. Mary's but. with Kinsmen feeling they can accomplish it local fans can help out a bit themselves by af- tendlng in large numbers tonight.

members of Island Pheasants Un- lintllctl waited on the Minister" and Deputy Minister of Azricitlturt- and its a result of the intervlcvti lflls striped fur bearer who carries his tail cocked over the hark at, rt jaunty angle now has o price of $3.00 on his snout. instead of the one dollar that has been effect for years.

The bounty will he tllst-ontitltttai for an indefinite period rm and after April 30th. Officials of Pheasants Utilimilcd are of the opinion that a $3.00 bounty during the month of April (m oacll skunk killed during that period will rt‘- snlt in a drastic thinning out of the skunk population and wi-ll give such a setback that they will be easily controlled in future, par- ticulnrly so when tho animals are killed [yr-tor in the lirt-etlutr: season.

The columnist has always been opposed to an increase in the skunk bounty over the prescribed one dollar. The skunk ls too deep- ly entrenched in this province to he eradicated entirely. . . the odor- ifcrous rascal is here to slay. I have seen their scrawlcy tracks along the sand hills of Black Banks and in the wilds of barges Ferry in Prince County and from thence to the wooded fastnesses of Glen- corrldele in King's County and am firmly of the opinion that even if the bounty were raised to p. $100.00 per snout for the inonth of April there would still be thousands of skunks left at the end of that time. There is no quick cure all for the skunk nuisance. Nothing but a steady pressure applied at the right tlme and an unrclaxlng vigilance by all concerned will keep their numbers down to reas~ enable bounds.

Methinks the Department was well advised to stop payment of the bounty on kittens (young (H162) and on adult skunks during the late spring and summer ntonllls. It was an old stunt to place one snout. and some other parts of a skunk l-n n haklni: powder tin and leave it until tho nccuntttlatctl gases would r10 pop when lhc lirl was rc- motved. someone would then ap- rcar at the bounty office set the tin on the desk and say; "Then are four skunk snout: in that tin" hoping that the odor would be so bad that the clerk wouldn't hother to sort the lot out and tnake an accurate check. When lillormed that. thera was only one snout in the container the party who brought the alleged snouts to the office would shrug and remark,- "So and so said there were fnur in the tin". It is my opinion that the bounty office was far too len- ient in such cases.
