Members should know that Newfoundlanders are a culture of their own and try to hide their deserved reputations as the smartest in Canada---don't ask me why, it's just generally acknowledged---but they've produced more leaders per capita in education, the law, the arts,writing and comedy (including politics) than any other part of Canada.

Any one who has ever hunted there knows the experience of Newfoundland is worth more than fabulous game and fishes and unsurpassed scenery. It's my favourite province. I had to stick my oar in because I know of no other place with a greater sense of independence and resourcefulness, straight talk and integrity than Newfoundland.
