H. F. Taylor, who teaches school i gnawed- on bones, now they all eat at Dashwood, had an interesting ex-1 soft foods,” he said,
perienee as teacher to the eskimoes. ’
He is a married man with two child
ren, twins—a boy and a girl.
Born at Goderich, Mr. Taylor at
tended school there and a couple
of years ago spent a year as a
teacher at All Saints Indian-Eski
mo Residential School at Aklavik,
some 50 miles from the mouth of
the McKenzie River, and 1885 miles
by steamer from Edmonton.
Mr. and Mrs. Taylor made the
trip together, Mrs. Taylor to be
dietition at the hospital there.
However, the climate was not suit
able to her health and their antici
pated five-year tour of duty had to
be concluded after a year.
Mr. Taylor tells of traveling
steadily from May 24 to July 27 to
reach Aklavik. He tells of going
“down north” in a wood-burning
stern-wheeler, which burned a cord
of spruce an hour. He says it is
piled in huge piles at the river bank
and every so often the ship pulls
over to shore to refuel,
Returning to Ontario in the fall
of ’44 he immediately attended
Normal School and taught for a
year at Dungannon. He is teaching
his second term at Dashwood.
Speaking of the Eskimo children,
he said they learn English very
quickly and speak it purely. There
is no profanity in their language,
he claimed. He said he considered
the Eskimo a fine race and prefer
red them to Indians. They were
loyal, he claimed.
The main industry at Aklavik is
the spring trapping of muskrats
in the willows at the mouth of the
Mackenzie River, but they also trap
quantities of Arctic white fox. Fish
ing is carried on to provide dog
.food for the wintertime.
Eskimoes eat a great deal of
“white man’s food,” he said, can
ned milk, syrup and honey. He said
their teeth are suffering because
the children are fond of sweets are
not getting the necessary calcium.
A dentist spends three months with
them every year. “Their ancestors
Eskimo boys are clever mechani
cally, he claimed, and they learn
to play musical instruments very
quickly. He said the boys were
taught largely useful mechanical
knowledge which they picked up
quickly and the girls were taught
home economics.

Short Season for
Ducks this Year
The duck hunting season opened
on Saturday and first reports were
that bags were small. Provincial
Overseer Bert Smalley said at noon
he saw only 23 birds in a quick tour
of choice water in the Port Franks
and Thedford areas. Season for
Wilson snipe also opened Saturday.
Continued mild weather and ab
sence of early fall storms have held
flight ducks in northern territory,
leaving local ducks in sole posses
sion of the rice fields.
Hunters this year face the most
drastic cuts in bag limits and
length of season since dwindling
duck populations forced conserva
tion measures a few years ago.
The season will close November
17 in this area, compared with the
September 25 opening and Decem
ber 9 closing dates last year. The
daily limit is seven ducks, exclus
ive of Mergansers, and only one of
which may be a Wood Duck. A
hunter may have only 14 in posses
sion at any one time.
This compares with last year's
12 per day and 15 per day in 1945.
The limit for geese is five per
day, 15 in possession at any time
and a season limit of 25. Season
for geese is the same as that for
ducks except in Essex, Kent and
Elgin Counties, where it opens Nov.
17 and ends Dec. 31.
Hunters also should be aware of
increases in the staff of game over
seers.
Season for Woodcock opened
Sept. 27 and closes Oco. 27, with
eight birds per day and LOO for the
season allowed. Season for Wilson
Snipe closes October 31, with eight
per day and 50 for the season.
aWe know someone who took
few days off a while back and went
to Florida for a short rest. "It’s
really nice in Florida," said he.
“They offer wonderful opportuni
ties down there for ambitious
young fellows who want to' get
ahead in the world. ’For example,
I saw this sign in one large restaur
ant: ‘Wanted, man to wash dishes
and two waitresses’."
Booth, Mrs. Gates, Mrs. Baynham.
The meeting was closed by all re
peating the Mizpah Benediction, af
ter which lunch was served by Mrs.
A. Smith, Mrs. J. Blair, Mrs. L.
Weiberg and Mrs. B. Hicks.

Worry is probably the most common cause of
restlessness. Anxieties and fears, worries.ever finan

of restful sleep.

ousness and irritability, loss of appetite or fatigue.
