Dr. H. Mather Hare, who does on the Canadian Labrador what Dr.
Grenfell does on the Newfoundland or Atlantic Labrador, and whose
headquarters are at Harrington, where the first coast sanctuary ought
to be established at the earliest possible moment, says:

May I make a suggestion? The fishermen coming here from Nova
Scotia and Newfoundland do not believe there is really a law
against egging and shooting. They say it is a put-up job by
the people living on the coast, because they want all the
eggs and birds themselves. This being the case, would it not
be a good idea to have a notice in several of the Nova
Scotia and Newfoundland papers warning the fishermen
against breaking the law, and in this way putting the
interdiction on a legal footing; so they may understand that
it is not a mere bluff on the part of the people living on
the coast. So far there has been nothing but talk, and
nothing official; no arrest made, etc., so one can hardly
blame them for the position they take, especially as they
have been doing the same thing for many years.

The notice should be very clear and penalties set forth
plainly.

Mr. W.T. Lindsay, M.E., who has travelled thousands of miles through
Labrador, writes:

I have spent two summers in the north eastern wilderness of
Quebec and can fully appreciate your suggestions.
