The annual pelee Island pheasant shoot will be held the last day of October and the first day of No­ vember, with a five-bird bag limit per day, Hon. H. C. Nixon, Minis­ ter of Fish and Game, announced recently. All the birds must be cock birds, ex.ept that hen birds, not exceed­ ing three in number, may be in­ cluded in the seasonal possession limit of ten birds upon payment ofi $1 per hen bird to the game and fishery officers at the island. Official anticipated a reduction in the number who will take out licenses for this and the other phea­ sant shoots. Many sportsmen are absent on military duty, and many foreigners, under Federal regula­ tions, have lost the right to own weapons. The department is hopeful that regulations will not curtail greatly the number of Unit­ ed States guns which will join the shoot, and, to this end, have ad­ vised by mail every American who had a hunting license last year, the nature of the regulations and what he should do to secure a permit to bring a gun into Canada. The shoot for English ring-neck­ ed cock pheasants and ruffled grouse, Canada grouse, sharp-tailed grouse and prairie hen, in the six­ ty odd townships established as game preserve areas, is to take place on October 25 and 26, “pro­ vided, however, that in such rege­ lated game preserve areas where a third day is declared in the open season, such day shall be November 1.” The limit for pheasants is three per day and for the grouse or partridge, five per day. A three-day shoot for English ring-necked cock pheasants, quail, Hungarian partridge, ruffled grouse Canada grouse, sharp-tailed grouse and prairie hen, is granted to the Counties of Essex and Kent. The shoot is for October 25 and 26 and November 1 and unlike the hours allowed in the other shoots, name­ ly from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. the hunt­ ing may open at 7.30 p.m. in the two counties and will not close un­ til 5.3 0- p.m. The limits are: Pheasants, cock­ birds only, three per day; Hungar­ ian partridge, two per day: part­ ridge (other than Hungarian) five per day and quail, four per day. The final draft in the regulations permits the shooting of ruffled grouse, Canada grouse, sharp-tailed grouse and prairie hen throughout. Ontario, except on the Crown game preserves and regulated game pre­ serve areas and in Essex and Kent Counties, from October 1 to October 14, both days November 4 to days inclusive, five birds per in all during these two periods.

Over it a caption: “Her Betrothal Announced.” A u d r ey skimmed through the accompanying account. Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Har­ rison were announcing the engage­ ment of their daughter to Mr. Jeff­ rey Langdon Castle. The wedding was scheduled for September. There was a mischievous twinkle in Victor’s eyes, but he kept silent until Audrey remarked “How would you like to stroll?” “Very much of a good say. "Where away?” Almost involuntarily Audrey di­ rected their course to her favorite big tree. “I always liked this place when I was a youngster,” she ex­ plained as they stood on the shady bank. “My idea of a good time was to come here with a good book and a couple of apples. “I don’t wonder.
