Rod. & Gun Club

In Early Stages
-of Organization

There waa quite a gathering
of rod and gun enthusiasts in
Hazelton on Tuesday evening to
discuss the formation of a local
club, «The first big problem to
be faced was ‘that of rules and

regulations governing such or-
ganizations and whether the local
club would be affiliated: with the
older clubs in Vancouver and
other southern cities..

A committee composed of Wm.
Gow. and James Turnbull was
appointed to secure copies of by-
laws from other clubs and the
desired information and then call
another meeting.

Local people are in accord with
the idea of organizing a club for
the preservation of game and for
improved conditions in regard to
game. Up to the present, fish,
birds, and animals have had but
little protection from what are
generally known as “‘killers’’—
men who hunt and fish not for
the sport of the thing, but to
slaughter. The club would help
materially to counteract this
practice,

The club would also be-made to
‘serve the purpose of an informa-
tion bureau to deal with the in-
creasing number of enquiries be-
ing received by local individuals
each year from all over the con-
tinent in regard to fishing and
hunting in this district.
