By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, April 13—The Izaak Walton League of America urged a closed season on migratory water fowl and remonstrated with C. C. C. ac- tivities as they affect game animals o8 the league closed its thirteenth pational meeting today. .~ Minnesota members were respon- sjble for the resolution asking ade- juate “leadership and discipline” in jvilian Conservation Corps camps with the plea that “any want thereof involves potential danger of great magnitude.” -*J. J. Baecher of Norfolk, Va., pro- posed a substitute resolution which would submit the matter to the league's Executive Board with power to act, but the original resolution was passed after argument by Kaupanger. The resolution for a closed season on ducks pointed out that periods of limited shooting of migratory water fowl from 1917 to 1921 had restored the game so that by the Fall of 1921 the shooting was comparable to that of the early 90s. Since then, the resolution said, due to “drouth and overshooting,” the number had de- clined rapidly to only 34,000,000, and United States biological surveys showed hunters were annually killing more ducks than are produced. “We urge and recommend,” the res- olution concluded,” the establishment of a closed season on all migratory water fowl for the year 1935 and for such further period as in the judg- ment of the United States Biological Eurvey is necessary to restore and maintain & continuing supply.” | royalist Upper left Mrs. William A.

Both Associations Had Beginning in War of Indep BY GAEL RENFREW. of the American Revolution is a fitting time to introduce their Canadian counterpart, the United Empire Loyalists. Both these famous associations have a common origin in the American Revo- lution, but it was the side of the HE week of Washington’s an- i I nual welcome to the Daughters King, not that of the colonists, that! | the U. E. L. upheld. Long before the War of Indepen- dence ended, the “Tories,” as these sympathizers were then called, were looked upon as traitors to the Republican cause. Feeling ran 50 high against them that their posi- tion was made the subject of con- sideration by a royal commission during the peace negotiations of 1783. In most instances the property of the Tories had already been confiscated, so his majesty’s government offered them a new start with land in the nearest British territory. This was Nova Scotia, which at that time in- cluded the province now known as New Brunswick. Thus the year 1783 witnessed a wholesale exodus from. the young United States of those who had sup- ported the King. That these exiled people represented the finest families in the colonies has been to the last- ing good fortune of Canada. Many of the men had Harvard degrees. Their women had been reared in all the refinement of that age. They brought to the Nova Scotia backwoods traditions that have strengthened with time, and today their de- scendants are to be found in high places throughout the Dominion, Exodus Began in 1776. It is not necessary to quote more than a few names to prove that Canada owes her neighbor a con- siderable debt for her loyalist stock. New Brunswick’s lieutgnant governor, the Hon. Hugh and ' growth in loyalist endence. | the premier of the same province, the Hon. L. P. D. Tilley, had loyalist | forebears. The loyalist invasion of Canada really dates from 1776, the year in which 1,000 civilians followed the British Gen. ‘Hull and his troops to Halifax upon the evacuation of Bos- ton. It was not till 1783, however, that the influx took place on a grand scale. In the following year the mi- gration was continued to upper Canada, now Ontario. New York, which had been in the hands of the British throughout the struggle, seemed the logical place for a discussion of the Tory position. “Articles of settlement” were finally drawn up, providing transportation to the new Canadian hinterland, a year’s supply of provisions or its cash equivalent and a supply of warm clothing and medicines—all this, of course, in addition to land for settle- ment. Old newspapers have preserved some interesting facts about the sail- ing of these exiles from New York to Nova Scotia. A number of vessels plied back and forth between May and October of 1783, among them the British transport Cyrus. Passengers Got Rations. A glance at her “muster book” shows the figure 1, 2 or 3 after the name of each passenger. The num- bers designated age for ration pur- poses. Class 1 included all adults, who got full rations; class 2 took in those whose ages ranged from 10 to 21 and were granted two-thirds of the regular allowance, while in class 3 were children under the age of 10 years and received half the adult allowance. During 1933 and 1934 special cele- brations were held throughout Canada to commemorate the coming of the loyalists a hundred and fifty years before.

The United Empire Loylalists’ As- sociation of Canada, like the Daugh- ters of the American Revolution, has for its prime objects the marking of | historic spots and the collection and | preservation of all data pertaining to loyalist families, and Canadians who | are entitled to carry the letters “U. }E," after their unpretentious names | do so with pride. | 'GIRLS OF 16 STATES | ARED.
