"Non-resident hunters must be accompanied by a British Columbia guide or a resident of the Province when hunting big game." NOTICE TO SPORTSMEN All sportsmen are asked to co-operate by obtaining their firearms licences early in order to assist in eliminating the usual last minute rush. After careful consideration it has been decided to ask the co-operation of all hunters to adopt a uniform distress signal; as follows: "Any hunter in the field, in case of accident, distress, or otherwise, should, as a signal, fire three shots, allowing a space of five seconds between each shot, and should any one hear this signal he should reply by firing one shot. Distress signal to be given, if possible, until replied to. If, after a signal has* been replied to, the party ins need of assistance should repeat his first signal, but if not in need of assistance it will not be neces­ sary to repeat signal." 14 1 A WORD WITH ANGLERS

Here's the secret of conserving and improving British Co­ lumbia's fine angling resources:

(1) SANE REGULATION OF THE FISHERIES.

(2) SOUND FISH CULTURE EFFORT.

(3) OBSERVANCE OF THE REGULATIONS.

The Dominion Department of Fisheries does the first two jobs. Through its Fishery Officers it deals also with enforce­ ment of the regulations, but its efforts may be largely nullified if anglers do not recognize their own prime responsibility and fail to co-operate with the Department by loyally observing the regu­ lations which are laid down. Regulations ignored or broken mean depleted angling waters.
