The meeting will get underway at the Charlottetown Hotel at 1.30. Among the first matters to be dis- cussed will probably be the plans of New Glasgow and llalifax. Last year New Glasgow strong y consid- ered the possibibty of entering the M..Vl.H.L. but relinguished iliose plans following the July meeting in Charlottetown. lialifax has indic- ated that it will ask for a time extension to get set for next season. If such is the case not as much may be accomplished at todayls meeting as was hoped a month ago.

The number of games in the schedule will come in for consider- ation and it is likely that a. final decision will be made on the mat- ter. At the New Glasgow meeting on July 6th the Islanders repre- sentatives expressed their favor of having at least two home games a week while the other clubs asked for a 70 game schedule. Also to I)! discussed will be a player pool for the play-offs, a cut off the players salaries to hinder "jumping" from one club to another and a possible lay-off during the holiday season.

The flute like bugle of the curlew and the lonesome note of the black-bellied plover remind us that August is here and before we know it golden stubble will reflect the autumn sun and the hardwood hillsides will be a riot of colour. The seasonal flight of hudsonian curlew and other specie of shore birds is now underway. 0 me the call of the plover and curlew holds a lost, lonely note that blends with the silent, brooding dunes as an August day draws to ia. close and night shadows draw a veil over the valleys.

when I watch wheeling, darting flocks of plover circle pasture fields or hay stubble, their under wing" coverts gleaming like marble in the sun. my mind reverts back to the old days when plover were legal game. I remember days when the crickets sang in the August heat and a brother, now residing in Calgary, and I lay back in the cool shade of a. blind built in the crook of a 'worm' fence with a lunch basket filled to the top with enough cold chicken and other grub to last a. week.

A lot depended on how the plov- er decoyed as to how many were picked up after the shot. Some- times the flock would swing sever- al times before winnowlng in over the stool' but on other occasions they'd dip in over the 'rig' with the throttle wide open like something Jet propelled. Plover shooting un- der such circumstances was hunt- ing de-luxe. There were no rising or falling tides to watch and decoys to shift; no mosquitoes to make llfemiserable. One could hunt and live the Life of Riley at the same time. Methinks those days are gone forever.
