JANUARY 10. 1948 THE GUARDIAN. CHARLOTTETOWN ‘portlmen and all those inter- ggted in our wildlife are looking forward with sOme anxiety as to what this coming winter of 1948 holds in store for our game and ether forms of wildlife. O O O A bad situation is shaping up nnd by the look of things at time ‘ of writing the chances are 10 to 1 that our Hungarian partridge are going to take a beating. Conditions no already serious in Kings gnunty which has had 3, heavier snowfall than the sister county p! Queens. Show of an unpreced- mtod depth is reported covering all sections in the eastern portion s; the province. Recent mild wea- ther has caused the snow to pack and makes it proportionately hard- er for the birds to secure food and grit. O COndiI-ions in the area surround- ing Charlottetown are such that the covey's will be able to eke out a living albeit on a rather slim diet. If additional storms set in or a heavy crust forms most any- thing they happen. Records show that such a situation is not un- usual The fall of 1933 saw thous- a a ands of Huns present. Particularly- tn Queens County. The spring ol 156 saw them practically wiped out. Winter set on the 3rd of Nov- ember in 1933 and snow lay threc feet deep on the level with several layers of icy crust interspersed through it. They died 1n their thousands and it was estimated that in excess of 85 per cent WEIV‘ wiped out. It was nothing to find where whole covey's, had perished - intaclt. I saw where one covey of 1| had been dug out o; the snow r by foxes at Mermaid. Farmers’ dogs were able to catch them at will. Once the covey's became vhakened beyond a certain 0030i they either sought shelter tn a railway culvert or allowed them- aeivcs to be snowed under and lied en mane. The survivors ‘rndde a remark- able come-back and in the fall of lfi the shootln! was pretty 800d In 100D it was better and in 1940 and 1M1 it was excellent. The wing" of 1911-42 gave them a hard going over despite all the help that could hctsive? ‘lvy farm as d there in ercs e an Ins ‘gebinlated by game officials that la oscessflf 50 his ‘soothe! the ,Iune were klcdo Y e "- element weather. The fall of 1942 saw Hulls on the slim Side and the season was cut from one month to 1a days and the daily bag l.mlt from s to s. O O t They recovered quickly from this setback and reached their old reek in number's, if 1th‘ 1 iii" - sihths st a t .DOTS- 4:12p were llltplng that the birds would have another winter sim- ~-ilar to the 1946-47 season. Il- and that. g very big word. such an fevcnt did occur, the fall of 1948 wold see I-[uns as ‘thick n! ihe heir on a dosa back" to use an eld expression. O O I ’_ It is a foregone conclusion that ' the Hungarian partridge Will ""5 help this winter unless we have 'a.heevy and sustained thaw. AH Kensington 8 Spring Valley l On Jan. 5th, the Spring Valley l team bowed to defeat to Kenslng- wn Legion by the score of 8 t0 l. The game was rough and the re!- erees. Jay and Sample. banished players b droves, twelve penalties being callled. Sticks were used for hooks and axes rather than for playing the puck. The Valley team found a stone wall ‘withoutan opening when they got in against goalie Don Baker who was one 0f ithe best a few years back and seemingly has not lost any of his nbllity in fooling forwards and getting thrm to shoot Where he wants them. He had by far the greater number of difficult shots to handle. The Valley 8081i? 590m" od to he off form and his judgmflli- of angles appeared faulty, We ex- pect better things from him later on.

This columnist feels that the importation of Quail to this province is a gtmble but nev- ertheless is willing to chance one throw of the dice but definitely ..not to the tune of trwo thou- sand dollars. Sound judgment dic- tntcs n more cautious move. Whllc mam game men insist that re- leases in large numbers is more likely to insure success it is rea- sonable to asume that if 250 Qua'l fail to make the grade in the tussle with our Island vwint will 500. eee Personally I do not consider that the size of the shipment makes much difference.

O O e The Hungarian partridge is re- garded as a hsrdier bird then the Quail but nevertheless some of our winters give them all they can do lllflng the bleak winter season.

Dumsday) TORONTO, Jan. 9~—(CP)—Out- come of the most daring tflnlllid job in hockey history, Toronto Maple Leafs today stood as the team of the year in Canadian sport. They rated above two other great clubs, also wearing colors of On- tario's Capital, in the Canadian Press year-end poll. The creaking Leafs machlm. , which finished out of the Nation- ‘al League playoffs in 1946 but rolled back to win the Stanley Cup a year later, impressed voting sports writers even more than for- onto Argonauts, who won their third successive Dominion footbad title. and Toronto St. Michael's College Dominion junior hockey champs. Manager COllil Smytlle gambled on youth when he assembled uis club at training ("dlllll for tile 191-6- 47 season and the move paid ofi. With a team studded with seven rookies, the Leafs swept past De- troit Red Wings in the Stanley’ Cup semi-finals and then dc- throned the mighty Montreal Can- adiens. In a poll of 26 scribes voting m a point basis of 3-2-1 in order of choice, the Leafs aggregated 45 of a possible '70. The Argos, who ole.- fended their football laurels in a titanic struggle with Winnipeg Blue Bombers, gained 34 points and St. liflkcb, H. The Leafs’ choice marked the second successive year that an N. H. L. club has been named the Dominica's outstanding team and they succeed the Calmdiens. Only individual Leaf to gain re- cognition was Howie Meeker, twice-wounded young New Ham- burg, Ont. war veteran, who was named rookie of the year. The little right winger, his legs corn by shrapnel, was ill a class by himself among the loop's fresh- men. Iu his rebuild effort designed to give Toronto a winning team in a few years, Smytlle lapped suurl great bouglls as sweeney Schriller, Lorne Carr and Bob Davidson from the aging Lcafian tree. He shocked the cash customers by trading popular Billy Taylor for younger Harry Watson of Detroit. But his big gamble-the one which brought a. world cilampion- ship overnight-was injecting sev- en rookies into his lineup. Besides Meeker. Smythe gave coach Hap Day such green material as V10 Lynn, Joc Klukay, Jimmy Thom- son, Bill Bnrilko, Gus Mortaon and Garth Boescll. The Back Stretch (Continued from Page 6.) expects that this year will be still better. He rather regrets that so many good young horses and two of the Maritlmes potentially best stallions, Watchim 2.06 and Abner T. Clegg 2.04 1-2, have been sold to new homes in the U.S.A.. but then he figures it will increase in- terest in breeding here where we still have many good stallions and be all for the good of the game. Rn Joe O'Brien. J. L. Read writes: "We are all sorry to lose Joe, but it seems a great chance for him particularly as he ls go- ing with Sep Palin a man who can command ample funds to buy, breed and race the best horses." The only cloud that Mr. Read can discern on the horizon is per- haps the tact that with so many tracks there is the dnllger of pro- grams conflicting unless a great many more horses are available to fill the classes. Tile Victoria Driving Club got off to a good start for their win- ter's racing last Wednesday after- noon nlld will put on another meet this afternoon. They have received an invitation from the Halifax and Dartmouth Driving Clubs to race there early in Feb- ruary and of course that will be followed by a return meet here. Thesc litter-Maritime sports fix- tures have become more and more popular as the winters roll a- round. Thcy are conducted with the utmost friendliness and sports- manship and are looked forward to by thousands of fans.

Connolly, were joint hosts to the staff of the Charlottetown Post Office at a "Get-Together" held iii the Canadian Legion Home on Sunday afternoon, January 4‘h, 1948. Items concerning the pas‘. Christmas season were discussed and very many helpful suggestions made for smoothing out snags lika- ly to be encountered in future rush periods. It was noted particu- larly thy‘. past Christmas that peak mailings of greeting cards for local. delivery were at least two days later than in 1946—thus de- laying a considerable number un- til after Christmlu Day. A vote of thanks was unanimously passed in appreciation of smokes receivtd from Messrs. DeBlols Bros., ‘Warl- time Central Airways and R. T. Holman Ltd. Also to J. as T. Mo!- ris Ltd. for coke. It is hoped that this will be the first of an annual "get-together" of postal employees which will be of mutual benefit to the Post Office Service, the general public and the employees themselves. Deep regret was ex- pressed by all that several mem- bers of the staff were unable to at tend due to serious illness.

The lower left hand cor- ner is occupied with. part of a globe with Australia uppermost. Continuing up the left side is the trunk of a tree, probably one of the gum species. with the cutest little Koala bear making for the ' top as fast as he can. At the lower right hand corner is a group of’ logs in a campfire, bear- ing the ‘names of the continents, the flames from which rise through a pathway of stars to the World Guide symbol in the upper right hand corner. Scrolls across the top bear the words “Christ,- mas, 1947." The greeting in the centre reads: “My kindest thoughts are with you; and—from Australia —I send you my best wishes for a Happy Christmas and a Good New Year.
