Mr. Edward Balch Barr, who has been recently associated with Dr. Wilfred T. Grenfell in exploration and philanthropic work in Labrador, will deliver an illustrated lecture on "Dr. Grenfell and the Deep Sea Mission" in the Living Room of the Union this evening at 8 o'clock. The lecture will be open only to members of the Union.
The series of six lectures being given this season by Mr. Barr, one of which he will deliver this evening, represents several years of endeavor, accompanied by much hardship and great expense. He has just returned from a six months' trip in Labrador and North Newfoundland, where his work consisted largely of exploration, and where in the course of the summer he covered many hundred miles of seacoast and penetrated far into the interior using reindeer as pack animals. The expedition was mainly in search of young caribou, to be captured alive and brought to a post of the Deep Sea Fishermen's Mission at St. Anthony, Newfoundland, in the hope of introducting them into a large herd of domestic reindeer.
The slides which will be used to illustrate this lecture were taken for the purpose by Mr. Barr and are exceptional in their line, demonstrating vividly the efforts of Dr. Grenfell and his colleagues to improve the conditions of the natives in Labrador and northern Newfoundland.
