Quick reversal on hunting rules change Nearly 40 hunters and game club members learned on February 12 that projected changes to regional hunting regulations .have been shelved by the MRC du Haut-St-Laurent.The protesters, including Quebec Wildlife Federation president Claude Gauthier, and a delegation from the Ste- Martine-based Les Balbuzards Fish and Game Club, turned out in force at the MRC meeting to protest last month's resolution calling for the acceptable distance between houses and shooting to be increased to 500 metres.They want the limit to remain at 100 metres.MRC prefect Paul Maurice Patenaude of Dundee was quick to reassure the hunters that the council of mayors had acted too hastily in passing the January 8 resolution, and that a subsequent meeting with Sûreté du Quebec officers had resulted in a change of policy.Patenaude also mentioned that discussions are currently under way among representatives of several provincial bodies ( ministries of Environment and Wildlife and Municipal Affairs; the Quebec Union of Municipalities and the Quebec Wildlife Federation) to formulate new legislation See HUNTING Page 8 Mayors unimpressed by railbed trail plan \u201cThe Haut-St-Laurent could be the hub of a huge network of trails joining Montreal, the Eastern Townships, the Outaouais and the USA,\u201d the head of a local recreo-tourist group told MRC mayors last week, but , his pleas seemed to fall on deaf ears.Guest speaker at | the February 12 | MRC meeting was | Sylvain Guérin of Ormstown, president of the 10-mem- ber Société des parcs linéares du Sud- ouest which advo- CHAUFFAGE DU HAUT ST-LAURENT 9042-3963 Québec Inc.e sales ¢ service ¢ installation ¢ Rental ¢ Ventilation em ® + Hil burner service = *® 24 hours service cates setting up a system of trails along disused rail lines in four MRCs (Haut-St- Laurent, Beauharnois-Salaberry, Roussillon and Jardins-de-Napierville).Guérin touted the economic advantages the trails could bring to the Haut-St- Laurent, and said that his group is currently recruiting more members in order to take charge of maintaining the railbeds during the summer.(A provincial snow- mobilers\u2019 association has said it would maintain the trails in winter.)

that it bad been repealed by the Act of \u201871.A telegram was dispatched to Montreal for advice.A reply came that the law was valid, though 60 years ago certain parts were disputed.The council was then asked simply to receive the petition and defer action till the next meeting.This they declined to do.SCHOOLS IN ORMSTOWN from a report of the state of the schools in Ormstown municipality, .\"The excellence of schools bere attributed to two facts.Firstly, the Commissioners visit the schools in person, as the School-Act requires, twice a year;
