Burns Banquet Here Toâ€"morrow Night It was the unanimous opinion of the Porcupine Fish and Game Protective Association at a meeting held in Schuâ€" macher Thursday night, that the presâ€" ent bag limit of fifty geese per person is much too high and the Government will be urgently requested to reduce the limit considerably. It was also recomâ€" mended that a competent game warden be placed in Moosonee to inspect all game bags in connection with game limits as well as to prevent the shootâ€" ing of small shore birds such as plover. snipe, etc., which are now protected. It was further recommended that guides be not allowed to carry guns, one gun per day only allowed to be shot for each hunter in each party. "ThHIS should be strictly enforced," the recomâ€" mendation added. A number of other resclutions were passed, copies of which will be sent to the Deputy Minister of Game and Fisheries and to Charles V. Gallagher, M.P.P., who was recomâ€" mended as a member of the Ontario Fish and Game Committee which will convene this year. If the Government consider estabâ€" lishing a bird sanctuary on any portion of the coast of James Bay, the#wpinion of the association was that it should be that portion of James Bay containâ€" ing Hannagh Bay and the inslands therein from the northernmost point on the west shore about opposite Big Stone Island to a point opposite on the east shore to take in Plover Islands and that this portion as well as the mouths of all streams and rivers emptying into (Continued on Page Eight) Under Joint Auspices of the Sons of Seotland and the Pipe Band.
