attending meetings and exhibits as speakers and showing the various films depicting 

 the activities of the Department. With the number of Divisional officers at Head 

 Office doing this same work, this means a matter of two hundred officers contacting and 

 speaking to the public instead of the original seven or eight. 



In order to assist in this work, each District has been equipped with a 16 mm. 

 sound projector, a 35 mm. slide projector, films and screens during the past year. 

 Besides these officers working for the Department, we also have a force of approxi- 

 mately two hundred Conservation Officers who. along with their normal duties, 

 attend all exhibits and often visit schools and private groups to discuss with them the 

 problems of protection regarding fish and game conservation. 



At the same time the Canadian Forestry Association's Ontario Branch was 

 partially subsidized by this Department to the extent of S4000 and two trucks with 

 complete lecture tour equipment. This nationally known organization took up the 

 lecture tour work in the schools with vigour and a summary of their tours appears 

 as an appendix to the Department tours listed below. 



The following table shows a summary of lecture tours for the period April 1st, 

 1950 to March 31st. 1951.
