Wildlife Preservation

Thé provincial. government is encouraging fish and game en- thusiasts in an effort to prove that Prince Edward Island has great possibilities for wildlife

Researchers are scfatching relatively virgin~ground for the data needed to save, improve end “expand upland-game and waterfew! populations seriously depleted by indiscriminate shodting, ignorance of conserva- tion princivies and diminishing naturg] habitat

At the same time an educa- flen. program is being aimed at residents who until knew little about the worth of wildlife in their province.

Legislative action is in the making to ensure that the native riffed grouse and snowshoe hare and the imported ring-tecked Pheasant and Hungarian part- ridge will be a continuing source of recreation.

Attention is focused on the

wood-and-water researcher, who became fish and game director in 1963.

A wildlife biologist, Mr. Bart-

lett told a federal-provincial wildlife conference here last summer

“Wildlife to most farmers has reptesented over the years an obstacle to be removed in his effort to increase farm produc- tion. With the rapid growth of the tourist industry on the is- land, the importance of wildlife as a tourist attraction has been receiving more attention.”

Through his efforts a 15-min- ule television program has been launched as a weekly feature from Charlottetown. It deals ; with ‘‘the inter-relationship that exists between man, wildlife | and the lands.”

The government last year granted $1,000 to a fund set up in 1961 by the provincial fish and gamé association for a | wildlife scholarship at Prince of | Wales College here.

The association is also asking |for a degree course in wildlife | biology at the college and sug- gests that science courses in secondafy schools be supple- | mented with special material on the subject.

The resources department is preparing. legislation to go. be. fore the house this spring to tidy up outdated game regulations and clear the way for long-term planning.

Near 2,000 Invitations [ te Soe Sees Fees For Gallant Reunion

In the year 1663, a boy by the, name of Michel Hache was born in Three Rivers, Quebec In

|@arly life, he accompanied to | Beaubassin (Amherst) N.S. Gov- ernor de La Valiere, to whom he was secretary and chief ad- | visor. During this period he ae- quired from the English the title of “‘galant man" which was added to his name and which was later to become the now very well known name of Gal-

la

this summer, 302 years later, a giant Gallant family reunion is to be held on PE]

As the story goes, the first permanent white establishment on the Island was founded by a group of French settlers who sailed from the Harve of Roche- ford in the year 1720. Shortly after their arrival at Port La- joie (Rocky Point), Michel Hache Gallant was sent to them in the capacity of Harbor Mas- ter and Commandant of Militia. He in turn was soon joined by his family of seven sone and five daughters: All the numerous Gallants of to- day may trace their origin back to this founding family.

As the French were the firs’ to colonize P.E.1. and ag the Gallant family has developed | to such a degree, a group of decendants of Michel Hache Gallant decided to hold a gigen | the reunion of the clan. The organizing committee consists

|-of Paul C. Gallant, president; | J.A. Gallant, treasurer and Rev. Denis Gallant as executive-sec-

| retary. | DATE PICKED

in the new Confederation Mem- oria) Centre, a giant motorcade to Port Lejoie for the unveil- ing of an appropriate monument to Michel Hache Gallant and a | huge outdoor party where .the

main ) course is hoped to be nothing inferior to fresh P.E.I. | lobsters .

Father Gallant has stated that about 1,500 invitations have gone to Gallant famili@s outside the province and that enthusiastic replies are pouring in. About 400 invitations are being sent on the Island

The reunién was first schedul- ed for last year but due to a number of circumstances it was judged more prudents.to post- pone it until 1966

Father Gallant stated that since much time and money has been and will be put into — this | project a prompt reply from those receiving invitations would be greatly appreciated. He has | also asked that names of per- | sons who have not been

submitted as many of the Gal-,

and’ + should have been invited, be §-

“‘Now, we have been given to understand that the proposal, as originally covceived, repre- sents an expenditure of weil over $250,000 and provides no more capacity than the original con- ception of the plant.”

Mr. Rossiter said he cannot escape the conviction that this additional expenditure is “sheer wastage, necessitated by nothing more than the patronage extended by
