MORE ABOUT CONSERVATION by Ralph Bice October 24, 1973 Some time soon I expect perhaps a number of people to suggest that I stop finding too much fault with some items that appear in the daily and weekly papers. As long as there appears so many articles off the mark pertaining to the outdoors I […]
THE LAST DEER by Ralph Bice 1973 This is a true story. It happened quite a few years ago and there are still a few around who remember that it did happen, though noone seems to be able to tell the exact year. Since both of these old people are long gone the time really […]
MUST THE COTTAGES GO? October 1973 by Ralph Bice I did attend a meeting in Huntsville when the powers that be apparently just wanted to talk about getting the logging and cottagers out of Algonquin Park. I have had a lease since 1930. My latest renewal makes it one of the last to go. I […]
LOOKING BACK by RALPH BICE December 19, 1973 It seems so long ago that Morry Barr decided that he would become a newspaper man. I was sitting on the Regional Tourist Council along with Morry and a number of others when he told us of his new venture. I suggested that it might be a […]
THE LONG DRIVE by Ralph Bice Wednesday, September 4, 1974 In most all of the stories about Algonquin Park mention is made of the famous and unusual log drive when the Gilmore (Gilmour – Ed.)

GOSSIP and COMMENTS by Ralph Bice1974 On the front page of the Toronto Star was a news item concerning the death of a trapper who left money to the extent of $180,000.00, to a school near the area where he had been born. It does seem odd that a man who had trapped ever since […]
A BIT OF SEVERAL THINGS by Ralph Bice From Wednesday July 4, 1979 Seems like the last few weeks I have been finding some fault with the way things are going in the woods. Not that I expect my beefing will make things any better. Recently there was an announcement that fishermen could expect […]
WHAT IS AHEAD FOR ALGONQUIN PARK? By Ralph Bice From June 27, 1979 There are to be a number of meetings about the future of Algonquin Park this summer. I hope to attend at least two and no doubt will have a chance to expound my ideas though from past experience very few if […]
TO AGAWA CANYON by Ralph Bice From June 20, 1979 Edna and I had a very pleasant trip last week. We went with the busload of seniors to Sault Ste. Marie and then up the Algoma Central to Agawa Canyon and returned. There were two nights spent at the Sheridan Caswell. We were asked […]
SPRING, and THE FLIES! By Ralph Bice From June 6, 1979 I imagine there are still a few who many years ago had to memorize a springtime poem in the senior third book (now grade 7). Gardeners are busy and soon there will be talk of cut worms, bugs, groundhogs and all the things […]
