Movement Is. Set Back Three Weeks By ROSS Murillo (cenndlan Press m: wrist IDNDON. A118. 3 -- (OP Cable)—- Movement of the lst Canadian Division from Holland to England en route to Canada, originally scheduled to begin Aug. 7. has been set back nearly three weeks. it was learned today, . Under the new schedule. units of the Dlvimon will move to a transit camp at Nijmegen Aug. 26 on the first leg of the trip. A senior of- ficer at Canadian military head- quarters said the new situation de-| veloped through a ch e in sail-| ing dates from the Uni ed King- dom of certain vessels. It was said that authorities in- tended to move the Division home en bloc and because of the sailing- date changes repatriation had been delayed.

Thel$moil nearly extinct and bee become no low in umbers that it is very doubtful if it makes a colmback, in fact no definite record of this species has been received for a number of years.‘ ' I yeere l-IO the Curlew of all s ecies was on the verge of ex- t ction. The total number that visitedthis province in the late summer and earlv fall was re- duced to a mere 150, or less, that frequented the Curlew Barrens along the north shore of King's County. Strict protection throughout the year in both Canada and the United States has resulted in Cur- lew, particularly the Hudsonliarl, making a remarkable comeback. They have been increasing stead- ily for the past 12 or 15 years. Whereas in the early twenties the only birds worth mentioning were the north shore of King's County. Today hundreds of those large and finest. of our shore blrdl are to be seen in sections of Prince County as well as the Eaot River. particularly in the Auburn sector, at Orwell, and Iona in Queufs County and in the bour sector of. King“; There is somethi rticularly stirring in the call t e Curlew: It ls a. prolonged, clear, musical, care-free whistle and den-lone- trates to a nicety the spirit of the great out-doors. One wpecially pleasing note is a long drawn "Curl-e-e-eru-u". This past week I watched a. flock of approxim- ately 150 feeding on crow berries on a north shore barren. Every few minutes this concentration of feeding birds would be joined by lesser flocks numbering up to a dozen or 15. As they blighted they would run a few yards with their long, pointed wings raised over their backs, uttering their long whistle. It is not unusual, at the height of the migra/tion in mid August, to see close to a. thousand Curlew in an evening flight along the north shore. The birds move eastward in the late evening in small flocks. When feeding they resemble Plymouth Rock chickens with their buff colour, long legs and long de-curvfd ‘bills. o Murray Har- Oid time anglers bad better look to their laurels. On a dull, misty evening a couple of weeks ago. when haying operations were sus- pended temporarily, a Vernon farmer took his family to a fav- ourite salt water pool in quest of a. mess of trout for the pan. The youngest of the family was John Din well McLeod, aged six. His mot er and sisters call him "Jayde". When they arrived st the pool his father fastened a stout hook to a length of cod line, bait- ed it with a glob of wonns, tossed the baited hc-ok into the pool and handed the line to his six year old son. It was merely s. gesture to keep him quiet. Before anyone of the group had even baited up the father heard a. splashing in the pool and turned to see “Jayde" with the line over his shoulder in the act of dragging a 17-inch sea trout unto the bank. He landed the trout by the simple expedient of backing up. . O The youngster beat his arenas and two older sisters wth his trout, in fact, what they caught msemibled pin fish when compared to the 1'1 incher. The Vernon River district lays claim to the Island's oldest gunner Osbert liki- man. The nearby section of Ver- non claims the oldest active fish- erlnan in the person of Robert Fumess. Both those sportsmen are close to the 00 year old mark, and it oks as if Vernon can claim the province's youngest angler. tit I experienced an amusing and interesting incident about two weeks ago. I was crossing the backs of some farms in the late evening, just as the sun was setting behind a heavy growth of spruce. I came to a small fresh water brook meandering across a pasture field and was directing my steps to- ward a rustic bri e of poles that spanned the rippl g current. was thoroughly enjoying the peace and quiet cf the summer evening, when my attention was dram-n to a closely spaced line of long, block animals moving rapidly along the close cropped grassy bank of the brook. The peculiar hum backed. ;ippling motion of the anmals de- noted that they were mink, s mother and 4 almost full grown young. Sensing my presence the mother lost no time in leading her charges under the bridge. It was apparent that the young were more curious than alarmed, for every once in awhile one or an- other would stlck their heads up through a hole between the poles and give me the once over. For five minutes I watched the antics of the young mink. then, happen- u-e sending bligh point men home in drafts is to be continued, but the drafts are not likely to be large.
