. Agri-news. Agriculture. AM September 15, 1975 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE SAVE YOUR BIG GAME HIDES Did you know that approximately 100,000 big game animals are shot in Alberta and British Columbia every year and that less than 20,000 of these hides are actually used. The rest are either left in the bush or end up on garbage dumps. Alberta Agriculture points out that you can do your part in conserving a valuable natural resource, now being wasted, by saving your big game hides. Indian craftsmen depend upon big game hunters to supply the hides from which they get the leather to make clothing, footwear and various other products. At the present time the demand for hides far outstrips the supply. The Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development (craft section) will pay for raw elk, moose, deer, caribou, mule deer and antelope hides. All you have to do is ship your hide (frozen or salted) 'freight collect' to the Indian Craft Training Center, 10116 - 105 Avenue, Edmonton. If you live in Edmonton just drop it off there (downstairs in the building). For further information call (collect) A. Bromfield at the Craft Training Center or C. A. Moore at the Indian Affairs regional office in Edmonton. Mr. Bromfield's telephone number is 426-2232 and Mr. Moore s number is 425-7179 -30- 8 AGRICULTURE Phone (403) 427-2127 COMMUNICATIONS.
