Sanctuary Is Worth A Visit:

In January of this year it was|= =|estimated that more than 3,000 ;|ducks of various breeds had ga- thered to winter there. Among’ blacks, |

the ducks are mallards,

DAMS REPLACED

Over the past few years, Mr. | ‘|Moore has devoted a great deal

of time to this conservation work. In the Spring of 1958 two dams were washed away during a sud- den freshet caused by torrential rains. Both dams were replaced and made into by-pass ponds and are expected to withstand future

Improvements are being made | each vear in this wildlife refuge | Moore, in addition to the personal joy and satisfaction derived from such a_ venture,

There is no more thrilling nor amazing sight than te see thou- sands of birds answering Mr. Moore's call at feed time.

On this strip of land Brudenell Point called by DeRoma ‘Three Rivers’, he began the building of a new werld, Wharves, bridg- es, store houses, and dwellings were erected’ before cold weath- er set in.

Doubtless he had far-reaching dreams but disaster interrupted these. First of all, some of his settlers were enticed away, then in 1738 crops were destroyed by a plague of field mice. Four years later his entire settlement was burned by a band of marauding New Englanders. DeRoma_ and his family escaped into the forest and later reached Quebec.

Established just two years ago @s one expression of the way in which the Island preserves its links with the past, the museum is enjoying a steady increase in} public interest, both. at home and abroad.

Last year some 3,000 visitors, drawn from all of Canada’s 10 provinces and more than a score of American--states signed the guest book.
