The above letter is oha.i'acte'i-istic of our good friend Dr. McCoy, vwhose connection with harness racing extends over a long period of time. It was always our great pleasure when racing at Frederic- ton to look forward to meeting him and the same went for other horsemen. with the position he now cccupies as Registrar of Deeds at the capital city of N. 3., -we can quite understand his in- ability to attend meetings and all the detail work that falls on a Director of the U.S.'r.A. l-Iis spon- sorship of Mr. Dewitt will mean the election of a very popular man and horseman.

By this time all members of the U. S. '1'. A. in the Maritimes will have received their notice of the annual meeting at Moncton. Feb- ruary 28th, and we would again remind those who cannot attend to please sign their proxy cards and mail them, so that the Association can see we are interested in our annual meeting the same as the other districts.

Congratulations are being ex- tended to Frank Acorn and his rink in winning the Provincial curling championship. it is not the first time he has ruled the curling roost,having won the Brit- ish Consuls Trophy some four

years ago. Johnny Squarebnggs is a hold-over from the team of 1847 that competed in the Domin- ion playdowns at Sain-1, John. Mel Jenikiins, who losses the lead rocks for the champs, is practically a newcomer to the sport-this being his second year. Bill MacNcl1i at second stone has come near mak- ing the grade on previous rinks and has had some six yearsl ex- pcrience. O I 0

After an inauspicious start both the Summenside and Montague rln-ks Thursday showed a. decided improvement in their play. Indeed, the Hayes rlnuk from the wesiem centre almost toppled the Acorn quartet from their perch when they met in their second match. it was decided only on the final end.

The Montague boys would be the last to offer any alibls for their play. However, in fairness to them they have not had the curling this year as in previous seasons. The weather has not been suivtalble for making ice and they have had very few games. However. they showed a good spirit in pari.i'cipa-t- ing and providing competition.

Art Sullivan, who skipped the eastern boys, is a war veteran. Since the war he has had to learn to curl all over again. He lost -both his right arm and right eye in a grenade explosion at Alder- shot. Art, however, has made re- markable progress in tossing iibe rocks with his left hand. He sure- ly rates a. bouquet for his spirit and stick-to-itiveness. With more practice the Montague. boys might well be on the top of the heap. They have really produced some very fine curlers that have show- ed the waxy to the rest of the Pro- vince in competitions of the past. They could well do it again.

'FEBRUARY 17, 1951

Under dale of February 3. 1951, The Alzberian. Calgary, Alberta, is reporting on the 21st annual con- vention of the Alberta Fish and Game Association ca.r-tried this -headline: Farmer-Sportsmen Ritt Viewed With Alarm. Speaking on the subject of "posted" land in the Province where the owners had put up ”No Hunting", "No Fish- ing" and ”No Trespassing" signs. a delegate from Red Deer had this to say, to quote in parl...”Year alter year sees these signs posted in increasing numbers and unless we are very careful we will event- ually arrive at a point where hunting and fishing are controlled by the landowners for the benefit of their own particular friends...”

As is the usual ousto the blame was placed upon "a f thought- less and inresponsible people.” in many instances trigger happy vlvunters with no regard for the rights or properly of landowners and to whom a fat rooster, pluzmp -turkey or waddllng bannyard mal- lard are not immune from lead poisoning if the opportunity offers, are the ones mainly responsible for "posted" property. They are not'100 per cent to blame. how- ever. In quite a few instances self- ishness on the part, of individual inmters is the cause and this ap- plies equally to both urban and rural hunters.

I know -of instances where I party of hunters after enjoying Q season or two of good sport on land where the owner was not in- ierested im ivimting himself eveni- ually prevailed upon this farmer to "post" his lend to everyone else but themselves. They had discov- ered a good thing and took this way of securing it for their own special enjoyment. Then again there is the landowner. quite fre- quently a fanmer-hunter, who posts his own farm and then PIO- ceeis to hunt on everyone else's lamd regardless, who is also re- sponsible for signs going up.

However, a l intimated earlier. pu-re dow-nrlsght vandallsrn is the main cause of "posted" properly- Here is a. case in point. Last fall, I received a letter from a farmer's wife who lives in the Bloom-Lng Point-Tracadie Cross urea dialed October 22nd. She had a complaint to make. Here are a few extracts from this letter:--"What do you think of two hunters thi shot two of my almost finished roosters last Thursday. picked them up one each and went off as fast as their con- vertible coupe could take them... they are even bold enough to open gates and take their care and trucks acrou our property...and believe me our land is going to be posted next year. every inch of it. If ium-leu's think they can come and shoot roosters utter all my hard work and expense. They must know how high feed is. if they could spend a day on a farm and see all the work that is done they would think twice before they wou1d.do those things..."
