There were a large number of hunters out and fair luck is reported. Some got their count, many were short of the al- lotted number but most of the hunt- ers at least got a taste. Another shoot is authorized for Saturday and a large number of hunters will be out again to try their luck. There were some complaints where “no hunting" signs were not obeyed, there were some hunting with rifles, and some hen pheasants were shot but in the main the game regula- tions were well observed. Game war- dens and local and county officers were on the job throughout the two days and were busy tracking down complaints. M” O096009.0GO...OOOOOOO.”OOOOOQ”OO“OM In Vaughan three Elgin Mills youths ran foul of law for trespass- ing on posted property and shooting a hen pheasant. Local game wardens and a representative from the On- tario department were quickly on the job and succeeded in capturing the offenders who will face court charges. Local citizens who had complaints are generous in their praise of officials of the local town- ships and the department who made it evident that they intended to coun- tenance no breach of the regula- tions. Wednesday two Weston men hunt- ing in Vaughan were apprehended after a complaint of a Vellore resi- dent. They had their guns confis- cated and will face charges of hunt- ing out of season and killing a hen pheasant.

HOCKEY MEETING 'l‘O-NIGHT President Art White of the local Hockey Club extends a pressing in- vitation to all interested in playing or encouraging this sport here this coming winter to meet in the Mun- icipal Hall to-night (Thursday) at 7.30 pm. Offenders Strictly Dealt With Hunters Report Fair Luck The York Rangers Prepare To Serve While disappointed in not being included in the lst Division of the Canadian Active Service Force, the Queen’s York Rangers are energeti- cally proceeding with organization to be ready when orders fer mob- ilization are received. According to Lt. Col. R. 0. Met- rick, M.C., who commands the York County regiment, plans for bringing his unit to full active strength in- clude the opening of recruiting deâ€" pots throughout York County the moment the necessary orders are reâ€" ceived. Since the outbreak of hostilities a detachment of the Queen’s Yorks has been on special duty but while hampered by lack of uniforms and equipment which were turned over to outfit units of the C.AtS.F., train- ing is proceeding at Fort York Armâ€" ory every Monday and Wednesday evening. Classes also are being held to enable officers and non-commis- sioned officers to obtain the required qualifications. In the Great War of 1914-18 the York Rangers, as the unit was then known, sent drafts of officers and other ranks to the 4th, 20th, 35th, 8151:, 83rd and a Forestry unit of the C.E.F. Two complete units were al« so raised, the 127th and 220th an., and in all over 6,000 passed through the York County regiment into var- ious C.E.F. units. After the war the regiment was placed on a two-battalion basis and in 1925 the second battalion became a separate unit and revived the name of the Queen’s Rangers of Governor Simcoe’s time. In the 1936 re-organization of the Canadian mil- itia these two units again became one under the name of the Queen’s York Rangers (lst Amer. Regt.) During the long- and splendid life of the regiment its interests. have ‘been jealously guarded by York County. Evidence of its close asso- ciation with the York County Counâ€" cil will be found in the presence of a considerable number of old and interesting Ranger records and tro- phies in the County Chambers in Toâ€" ronto. In addition to financial asâ€" sistance each year, the County preâ€" sented the regiment with a set of Colors in 1932 and more recently with framed pictures of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth. a profit of $406.49 for the same month last year. For the third quarter of the year the car line had a profit of $1299.26 but the year to date shows a loss of $560.92 com- pared with a profit for the first nine months last year of $795.46. Heavy losses early in 1939 account for the poor showing of the year to date despite the improvement in re- cent months.
