National Wildlife Week BRITISH Columbians should have a special interest in National Wildlife Week which started yesterday. Few people in the world live in a region with such variety, of wild animals and birds, and any occasion which draws attention to this natural resources is all to the benefit of the province. Not only does H.C. play host to magnificent stands of big pime annuals such as moose, caribou, elk and deer but also holds healthy populations of species such as grizzly bear which have dwindled elsewhere. The province has 'within its borders the last appreciable heads of California bighorn mountain : sheep, and right in our own local area is an animal that is found nowhere else in the world. It is the diminutive Kermode's bear that lives on surrounding; islands. ' As a tourist attraction, our wildlife is of tremendous importance. Approximately 4,000 hunt- j ers and 28,000 anglers come to H.C. each year to enjoy their sport. This is about three times the number in each category that visited the province j 20 years ago. Hunting and fishing in B.C. mean an annual revenue of more than a million dollars in the sale of licences alone. Yet many are inclined to take our wildlife heritage for granted, even though it is only through constant care and wise management that we can continue to enjoy our present wildlife abundance.

One morning, while we ,wcre still living in the' bit; hotel my ; wife and I both woke up down! In the mouthlnd, homesick lor the we.st-coa.st. we looked at each other and said "we .sure 3 re the world's nrize pair of fools.. We hudl T (perfectly nice home, and a perfectly good Job. What did we: ever come down here for all- fhis work and grief?" ...b- But that was in ihe ronf using, tiring stage, when we did not know wr way around very well. NOW THAT I am really into the swing of the Job I am getting a real kick out of it. Here is a simple example of what I mean. Up till this year the pensions act has never made adopted children eligible for veterans pensions, on the same basis as natural children. I took the matter up with the Minis ter, made a strong appeal for i a change in the law as I have j no doubt others have done long j before my time. But I had the 1 good luck to be there just at , the right time, or something, because a few duyj later the : Minister introduced an amend-, ment to the law, making adopted 1 children equal in their rights with oilier children. Yon can Imagine what a thrill I got when I wrote the personal letter to a family I know telling them the good news.
