Hunters in the south know their chances are better in the north, so more and more southern hunters are applying to hunt moose in the north. As the number of unhappy northern hunters incréases, they get the impres- sion that the south is, once again, ripping off the north. The proposal of the hunters at the meeting at the Airlane was to give special rights to northern applications. They asked Wood to create yet another special "preference" pool, for those who apply to hunt in a wildlife management unit close to where they live. This way, tags would be allo- cated randomly by the com- puter first to locals and then, if there are any tags left, those who live further away would have a chance. Wood told me he's sympa- thetic to this idea of a "north- er preference" pool. "There is a large difference in the lifestyle as far as the cost of living is concerned, the gas pricing is concemed, and peo- ple are different from northern Ontario compared to southern Ontario. They're saying we don't have the chance to be able to see hockey games quite as often, or go to the big the- atres. hunting, and we do it on our days off and on weekends. They feel that it's a renewable resource that they want to lay claim to, and it's their way. of life. And I sympathize with that." So, don't be surprised' when Len Wood gives his report to Bud Wildman that he recom- THE LAKE SUPERIOR BOARD OF EDUCATION PARENTS!

Southerners will complain that those "northern whiners" are getting yet another undeserved break. We've already stolen hundreds of civil service jobs be getting several provincial departments moved north. Then there's our | special travel grants for medi- cal treatment, special grants for northern municipalities and school boards, etc, etc. I'm wondering when south- emers will start seeking retali- ation. They have to breathe dirtier air than we do. Will Torontonians argue for a spe- cial "air grant", to compen- sate? They have to travel fur- ther to find the quiet solitude of the wilderness. Will south- emers start asking for special travel grants to visit the north? After all, it would only be fair.

When all this misdirected energy could so easily be channeled into becoming a better, more likable person with at least a hope of becom- ing a responsible, mature adult. This is the sadness of the human state, that we have children growing up in an uncaring society runnelled through with filthy acceptables which they take as the norm. Whether badness or good- ness is born or bred, we have to clean up the mores of our society FIRST before we can hope to bring down the ever- growing statistic of these 'lost, © bad' children who are growing up into 'lost, bad' adults no longer able to distinguish between good and evil. In the meantime, we can hope and pray that something, or somebody, will come into their lives to open their eyes to a better world outside of their own narrow, depressed, hate- filled, revengeful one. A worthwhile, pleasant, man- nered world where people act like THINKING human beings and not simply pre-pro- grammed wild animals. Parents of today, take a good, hard look at your chil- dren and see if they are truly our 'hope for tomorrow', and YOUR responsibility into tuming them into such. i HEART AND STROKE FOUNDATION OF ONTARIO Alfiiated with Canadian Heart Foundation DIABETIC MEETING Wednesday, February 20, 1991 7:00 p.m. _ St. John s Anglican Church Schreiber Lake Superior High School CONTINUING EDUCATION PROGRAMME The following course is being offered this semester.
