yn weeotgmmao<s NNSA ZRAaOPYTD ee ee ee Pukask rk Midnight choruses Choruses of song birds are waking us very early these mornings. Spring is in full swing with leaves apppearing on the trees, long-leg- ged moose calves awk- wardly following their mothers and brilliant yellow marsh marigolds in full bloom. There is also another chorus of song heralding spring. To enjoy it one must procure a flashlight, and -attire oneself in warm clothes and rubber boots and head out into the wetlands at night. The singers are male frogs, who, like birds, vocalize vigorously to attract fe- males and proclaim their breeding territories. It's a woman's world out there in the swamps. A female frog chooses a male solely on the basis of his voice. A good voice, then, is as impor- tant for a male frog as biceps are to the human.

Females choose males of the same species, each species having its own distinct call. For example, Chorus Frogs have a call not unlike a thumb running over a comb; Spring Peepers make a high pitched "peep-peep"; Wood Frogs, a giggling noise; and Leopard Frogs, a moaning snore. The length and pitch of the call also varies with temperature. Cold- er frogs have longer, lower pitched voices. If given a choice, females select males of about the same body temperature. The gals don't seem interested in loud, quiet, hot or cold males. Since the guys voice gives no indication of body size, females are notable to choose larger or smaller males. A loud brawny suntanned male, then, has no advantage in the frog world. The most favoured males are those with the most average voices. Should you go out to a pond at night, take a flashlight and look for the frogs that are call- ing. This may prove Terrace Bay-Schreiber News, Wednesday, June 29, 1983, page 9 difficult. Not only do frogs tend to stop sing- ing when you approach, but they are usually also: well camouflaged and 'often very small. Spring Peepers, for example, are only about one inch in length. The glistening white sphere of the male's vocal pouch often gives a frog away. If you are lucky you may even see a female heading towards a chosen male, or eggs in a clear jelly floating on the surface of the pond. Even if you aren't luck enough to see frogs, your head will soon be filled with the raucous songs of court- ing male frogs and other sounds of the night. Pukaskwa National Park Staff Race.

Parking at Birchwood. 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon HOPE TO SEE YOU ALL THERE Farming the Forests Canada's bountiful forest lands provide the base for the country's largest inanu- _ facturing industry: pulp and paper. In recent years, attention has turned to the question of how Canada can produce an adequate supply of wood fibre so that it can maintain its present share and par- ticipate in the growing world demand for forest products. Spending on forestry by governments and industry has risen iN Pulp and Paper Reports: sil= is FOREST RENEWAL EXPENDITURES CANADA ($ MILLIONS) sharply in recent years and much more is required. Money is invested in protecting exist- ing forests from the ravages of fire, insects and disease. It is invested in seed- lings, and in thinning and fertilizing stands of timber. The investment pays off in more fibre per hectare. To meet the growing competition in world pulp and paper markets, Canada (Source: CPPA) needs more than modern, efficient mills. It also needs, and is developing bigger and better forests.
