NEW ENGLAND JOURNAL OF V E X I L L O L O G Y Online Edition Some Personal Observations And Some Historical Facts About The Labrador Flag by Carl S. Gurtman At the fall, 1995, meeting of the New England Vexillological Association, I suggested that the future format of our meetings include one or more presentations on flag-related topics. The membership agreed, and I volunteered to give the first presentation. I had believed that the topic would be a fresh one, on a flag unfamiliar to most. Without formal sanction, the flag is little-known; I have yet, at least in my own readings to see information published in popular books or journals. I had hoped to break at least some new ground, and perhaps even end with an article that might be published in the Flag Bulletin. Alas, the half-year to the spring meeting has flashed by, and my research clearly indicates that this flag is already, at least in some circles, well-known and well-documented. But, if I cannot be the one to first gather these fruits, I may at least share them with you. I wish to thank my correspondents, Mrs. Alice Lethbridge, an owner and operator of the Cartwright Hotel in Cartwright, Labrador, who provided me with a detailed history, and Ms. Rhyna McLean, of the Labrador Heritage Society in Labrador City, Labrador, who provided me with additional detail. Their responses bring to mind the people we met in Newfoundland and Labrador: warm, friendly, open, and hospitable. The following is appreciatively based upon their information, and my own observations. Only I, however, am responsible for any error in fact or in interpretation.

102. The Lure Of Newfoundland And Labrador There are two distinct parts to Newfoundland and labrador. Bordering on theCanadian province of Quebec, it remains a vast, pristine wilderness. http://www.nfld.com/nfld/tourism/lure.html

The Lure of Newfoundland and Labrador Nestled into the northeast corner of North America, Newfoundland and Labrador offers a leisurely Old World pace, modern conveniences and a unique spirit. It is one of the best-kept vacation secrets on the continent. The air is clean, the people are friendly and the vistas well, you'll just have to see for yourself. It is the cradle of civilization in North America. It is the region where Viking adventurers landed in Anno Domini One Thousand and One and named the newly discovered country Markland, or Land of Forest. It is the New Founde Isle of John Cabot who sailed westward from Bristol, England in 1497 and made his landfall at Cape Bonavista . It has the proud honour of ranking as the first of Britian's overseas colonies, for John Cabot set up the flag of England here and took possession in the name of his sovereign, King Henry VII. On the fifth of August, 1583, Sir Humphrey Gilbert reaffirmed this right of British ownership when he claimed the island in the name of Queen Elizabeth I, and on the King's Beach in the harbour of St. John's

The bird was last seen there on Jan. 8. This is the Province's fourth record for this species, but a January record is quite remarkable! A few were reported from St. Pierre after a October hurricane, so the bird probably arrived on the Island around that time. November and December were among the mildest on record so the bird was not under too much stress from cold. Alas, the temperatures locally have dropped significantly this past week so it is assumed the bird succumbed to the cold weather. The Ferryland CBC (southern Avalon) was held on January 3. Of the 55 species seen, the highlights include: 2 NORTHERN MOCKINGBIRD (Ferryland and Renews), a DICKCISSEL (Ferryland), an INDIGO BUNTING (Renews), a HERMIT THRUSH (Admiral's Beach), 8 COMMON GRACKLE, 4 DOUBLE-CRESTED CORMORANTS, 1 BLACK-BELLIED PLOVER (Renews), 5 SAVANNAH SPARROW, 8 FOX SPARROW, 3 SONG SPARROW, 41 WHITE-THROATED SPARROW, 2 SWAMP SPARROW and three YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLERS.
