Original Toronto Star caption: Gone geese. Take gander at all those geese! To control the goose population; 1;200 honkers are being rounded up on Centre Island by Ministry of Natural Resources workers such as Jules Boulanger and shipped off to distant lands - for their own good. This batch of 350 is bound for North Carolina; while 800 others will go to bird sanctuaries in Oklahoma. Don't forget to write!
