SEEK MONSTERS IN B.C/s MOUNTAINS—An expedition
of two has set out from Lumby, B.C., to track down* live
specimens of the abominable snowman in the mountains
of British Columbia. Reports of people ^claiming to see the
giant, hairy wild men have reoccurred 'in the province for
many decades. Most pin the mountain monsters down to
the .Chehalis range, 100 miles east of Vancouver, where
they are referred to locally by Indians as “Sasquatch.”
The expedition is comprised of Rene Dahinden, at left,
a Lumby sawmill. worker, and Anton Ruesch, a logger,
who like his partner is a veteran mountain climber from
Switzerland. The men plan to spend two to three months
in the Chehalis mountains, where “we hope to get pic
tures of the Sasquatch if we do nothing else.”

Goderich is" seen by town offi
cials following announcement of
a $6,000,000 rock salt mine to
be built by Dominion Tar and
Chemical Company of Montreal,
the parent company of Sifto Salt
“The new industry will open
up a whole new era in industrial
development with the definite
possibility of allied industries
opening plants,” stated Mayor
J. E. Huckins,

and its citizens,” he added.
’Dominion Tar and Chemical
Company has been engaged in
the production and distribution of
evaporated salt throughout the
Dominion through its subsidiary
company, Sifto Salt, since 1939.
Also the smaller concern has
marketed a substantial quantity
of imported’rock salt for some
time.
The parent company decided-
that marketing of rock salt was
not enough and if the business
was to run profitably they must
also mine rock salt to supple
ment the production of evapo
rated salt. * . , , •
• After'approximately five years
of intensive drilling at many lo
cations,- Ddminion Tar succeeded,
in finding at Goderich a bed of
salt of oyer 99 per cent purity
and more than 20 feet thick.-

BACKWOODSMAN IS UNORTHODOX HEALER
mountie, engineer, former pro hockey player and lumber
man, Roy Tyler is Ontario’s most spectacular manipulative
healer. Hundreds of -persons have visited his shack near
Owen Sound, where they may be greeted with a curse,
•tossed bodily from his property or insulted in various
forms. But of the hundreds who have come to him, dozens'
claim he has performed miracles in curing’ rheumatism,
sprains and other ailments. His methods are not orthodox
but they often produce results. He is credited with cor
recting the deformation of a child when he tossed him
into the air and gave a sharp twist when he caught him.
A well-aimed kick at a cripple corrected a spinal ailment
of r dozen, years, And in one treatment he is said to have
cured a boy of what was diagnosed as asthma.
Pole
Cost
Pole barns are low cost, easily
constructed buildings says W.
J. White, Central Experimental
Farm, Ottawa.'
They are quite wind resistant
due to their firm anchorage. The
poles are’ sunk in the ground
similarly to power poles, and
thus eliminate costly founda
tions.
Polfe spacing may vary ac
cording to the lengths of lumber
available, with 15 feet ag the
maximum distance between
poles. Rough lumber is used and
instead of cutting and fitting,
staggered or lapped joints are
made wherever possible.
Poles should have at least a
5-inch diameter at the top, be
sound and reasonably straight.
Poles treated with a preserva
tive under pressure have-an esti
mated service life of fifty years
while the liije of non-treated poles
will vary from three to twenty
years. Poles are set ip the
ground at four to five feet' in
length according to soil condi
tions. If overhead storage is con
templated it is wise to set the
poles on concrete jsads to pre
vent settling.’
Corner poles are placed first
with just sufficient backfill to
hold the butt in place, then
plumbed and braced two ways.
The outer-edges of the remaining
poles are then lined up with the
corner poles, partly backfilled
and braced. The rafter supports
are fastened in place, the build
ing trued and -the holes com
pletely, backfilled and adequately
tamped. -Six inch spikes or lag
screws are’ used to fasten the
rafter supports to the poles. If
splitting occurs, holes should be
drilled to start the spikes. A
scab is spiked to each side of the
poles as a bearing for the rafter
support. Any * type of vertical
siding may be applied to hori
zontal girts which are normally
2" x 6" spiked to the outside
of the poles. To seal the building
to the ground, preservative-
treated planks laid * horizontally
are spiked to the' outside of. the
• poles. • -
At each bent the rafters are
nailed to'the side of the. poles
and rafter supports. The inter
mediate rafters are spiked to
the rafter supports and anchored
to them by a piece of flat iron.
Rafters are spaced two to three
feet apart depending on the span
and the size of the 'material.
Roof sheathing may be either 2"
x 4" or rough 1" x 6" spaced
from sixteen to twenty-four inch
es apart. Metal roofing com
pletes the building.
