certain acresf"
notion that a c .cit 0 o Charley,,. of Flint, Mich„ and Mrs.
land .just west of Exeter would make T. 'Cousins, of London. Following
an excellent game sanctuary. On
application to the Game and Fisher-
ies Department, at Toronto, they
were informed that on securing the.
signatures of the owners involved the
land would be set aside for that pur-$ther also survive, George, of White -
pose. Accordingly a petition was church; Mrs. Jane Gannet, of Imo -
drafted and the signature of the
owners is being secured. Itis to be
hoped that all the owners will sign.
Out . of the thousands of acres of
game land west and northwest of
Exeter the setting aside of one block
would not be ahaidship
on 'either
hunters or trappers. Unless some-
thing is done to provide a safety
spot for animals, birds and fish
there is going to be a scarity of life
in our -woods and streams. A hav-
en. of this kind is necessary and no
more ideal spot can be found in Hu-
ron County. The block is so situated
too; that it would be difficult for
one, who would try to evade the law,
to do so successfully, as the: road all
around is fairly well travelled.
The 'district to he set apart: is an
ideal one for the purpose, in the (M-
inton of those qualified to judge. it
would comprise 1000 acres of wood
land and streams, bounded on the
north by the lake road; on the south
by the Huron sideroad, 'on the east
by the fifth concession, and on the
west by the sixth concession, and is
in the heart of the county surround-
ed by'the villages of Centralia, Credi-
ton, Dashwood and Exeter, which
would thus give these nzunielpaiities
a pesonal interest inthe game pre-
serve.
It abounds with water, both flow-
ing and still; with many different
kinds of trees, both standing and:
down; •low and high spots, marshes
and than ground, dense thickets and
open. spaces, and plenty, of food for
wild life, In fact, it has been a hav-
en of safety for some years for them
and sportsmen would like to see it
made a secure and permanent refuge
for the defenseless wild life yet left,
