Tell Minister of Municipal Affairs to Rescue Freele Tract

C. Drury, and his friend Edmund Zavitz, to rescue the Simcoe County from being buried in marching sand wastes. This was triggered by ruthless deforestation.

(It was not a Monarch. I’m still researching – perhaps it was a painted lady (Vanessa cardui?)
