Attention, Game Clubs! 



The Secretary of the Canadian 

 Forestry Association, Booth Build- 

 ing, Ottawa, has been in communi- 

 cation with several of the larger 

 game clubs, and tourist organiza- 

 tions with a view of encouraging co- 

 operation in the matter of forest 

 protection. He has a special pro- 

 position to submit to the members of 

 all such bodies and would be obliged 

 for' the names and addresses of 

 secretaries. 



Free Public Lectures 



The Secretary in the month of 

 April gave illustrated lectures to 

 large audiences in public halls of 

 Brockville, ]\Iarmora. Sault Ste. 

 Marie, Prescott, and Hamilton. The 

 lectures were accompanied by quite 

 extensive newspaper publicity and 

 the cause of forest protection there- 

 bv aroused valuable local attention. 



In Our Mail Bag 



I 



"I wish to thank you for the 

 copies of the Boy Scout Forest- 

 Book which you sent to me to use 

 in the classes in my school. We 

 have had some very pleasant half 

 hours together reading and speak- 

 ing, discussing, etc., already, and ex- 

 pect to have more. It is such a 

 beautiful book, so instructive and so 

 suggestive that I wish it could be 

 in the library of every school in the 

 province." — Chas. G. Fraser, Princi- 

 pal of Manning Ave. School, To- 

 ronto. 



"I can more than emphasize the 

 education usefulness of the Associa- 

 tion. I endorse it in the largest 

 way." — -J. L. Englehart. Chairman, 

 the Temiskaming and Northern On- 

 tario Raihvav Commission. 



"We think your booklet the best 

 thing we have seen so far on the 

 subject of conservation." — Philadel- 

 phia Headquarters of the Boy 

 Scouts of America. 



"The education of our children in 

 the beauty and value of our timber, 

 trees and forests has been activelv 

 carried on by the Canadian Fores- 

 try Association. Twenty of their 

 booklets have been distributed in 

 the schools of Lillocet and twenty 

 more to the older boys. The in- 

 formation contained is" both enter- 

 taining and instructive."— Lillooet, 

 B. C. 'Prospector.' 



The Door of Opportunity. 



Of scores of letters received by 

 the Secretary of the Association ask- 

 ing for new supplies of publications 

 on forest topics, the following is 

 typical : 



Hazleton, British Columbia, 

 May 5, 1916. 



"We were greatly impressed with 

 the Association's last booklet and 

 with the idea. 



"Passing it along to the school- 

 teacher w^as the source of manv in- 

 quiries from the kiddies themse'lves. 

 Thus realizing the amount of in- 

 terest that one copy created, we are 

 under the impression that if vou 

 could favor us with a half dozen or 

 dozen copies, the interest would be 

 increased in an almost relative pro- 

 portion." 



The Association's verv limited 

 funds cover the widest possible edu- 

 cational field. Every dollar of the 

 membership fees is required to keep 

 pace with opportunities for good 

 service. Have you sent in your 1916 

 fee yet.'
