GORDON WHITE HOWARD LAW SOUTH-END GROCETERIA 204 Brock 8, Whithy ARINRE Nat ARIANDIDRNR NRA IRIAN DS Md IN EIN AY ' Field Naturalists Plan Year Peter Baluk New President The 20th annual meeting of the Burroughs Field Naturalists' Club was held Friday in the Library of the Collegiate and Vocational In- stitute with the sponsor, Arthur Slyfield, presiding in the absence of the president, Harry Dowhaluk, now in Northern Ontario. Greetings from the Federation of Ontario Naturalists, letters from absent members and routine corre- spondence were read. Several im- portant Government publications were! reviewed and many new na- ture books added to the Club lib- rary. The executive committee tabled reports on the 1945 Regional Field Meeting, the 1946 Christmas Bird Count, and articles contribut- ed to the press on natural history topics. Members decided to ar- '| range for a display of nature pro- jects in the Library during the last week of school in December, 1948. In his presidential address, read by the sponsor, Mr. Dowhaluk ask- ed "What should be our attitude to- ward the natural resources of our country? Should we use them as freely as we like for our own bene- fit? Should we be as saving of our resources as possible, in order that generations to come may live bet- ter? Or, is this our attitude: What do we care about future genera- tions? Let them look after them- 'selves!' " Among our most important na- tural resources are: forests (includ- Christmas trees), minerals, coal, oil, soil, animal and plant life, he said. "Which of these are we wasting recklessly? Which of them may be completely exhausted in the not too distant future? What can be done to conserve each of these re- sources? It is enough to say, 'What if the supply of gasoline I§ all used up? They will find a substitute for it all righta?' Who are 'they?' Will exhaustion of our natural re- sources mean a change in our way of life? Will it mean a lowering of the Canadian standard of living? Do you think something ought to be done about it: now? What, and by whom?" » Remember Deceased The meeting stood in reverent tribute to the memory of two char- ter members, the late John R. Kelly, who perished in HM.C.S. "Fraser" explosion, the late John Perkins, who met with an accident while engaged with the armed ser- vices in Canada, and the late Lewis Stevenson (honorary member of the society). wha passed away December 14th, 1945. The incoming =- president %was named to attend the forthcoming annual meeting of the Federation of Ontario Naturalists to be held at the Royal Ontario Museum, March 13 next. The Club decided to spon- 'sor five field day trips during 1947 and "48--Boxing Day Bird Count, Burroughs Day (Apr. 3) spring ob- servation, Victoria Day Field Day, Thanksgiving and Remembrance Day excursions. A letter was read announcing the re-appointment of the sponsor as a deputy-game war- den with jurisdiction anywhere in Ontario. A report was submitted on last September's meeting of the American Ornithologists' Union at Toronto. Accounts for printing and advertising were passed for pay- ment. The treasurer, Mr. Donald Hambly, reported receipts during 1947 of $37.12 from membership dues and profits from the sale of natural history publications. . Ex- penditures for the year amounted to $27.73, leaving a balance on hand of $9.39. Ask Regional Meeting It was decided to ask the Federa- tion of Ontario Naturalists to sponsor another Regional Field Meeting in the Oshawa area in June, 1948. 'The Club affiliated again with the central Federation. Dick Bird, of Regina, Sask., will be invited to show his nature films to the public of Oshawa during the week of March 14 after he has ful- filled an engagement at the Royal Canadian Institute, Toronto. Pro- fits from this project: will be appli- ed on the account outstanding in connection with the purchase by the Ciub of a four-and-a-half-inch objective refracting type of astron- omical telescope built in Toronto. The. meeting unanimously approved two resolutions condemning the in- discriminate slaughter of eagles, hawks, and ois' (certain species excepted) and the unsupervised sale of air-guns, BB guns, and small arms to irres responsible parties with the consequent destruction of pro- perty and valuable migratory, song and insectivorpus birds. The Club refused to approve. a motion calculated to launch a drive for members, the feeling of the meeting being that all serious stu- dents of natural history in the area will ultimately - associate themselv- es with the society's programme of education and conservation. Fourteen members sat down. to the anniversary dinner, among the guests of honor being Miss Florence J. Armstrong and Miss Rosc Hawkes.
