It was in 1934 that James Law-
rence. Fahey, a Canadian, Living
at Jasper, a town in Alberta at
the foot of the Rocky Mountains,
succumbed to temptation while
on holiday. He trapped a silver
fox out of season — presumably
by chance, but he tried to get
away with it, Perhaps he thought
it would be a nice gift for Mrs.
Fahey.
A game warden caught him in
the act and, the Canadian fur
industry being important and
powerful, he was treated like any
common poacher and handed over
to the police.
He was, in fact, a much res-
pected man in Jasper, where he
had lived for twenty years, de-
veloping a flourishing business as
a building contractor, A small
fine accordingly, soon settled the
matter.
It seems very doubtful if .he
gave any thought to the possible
effect of that incident upon the
past. But the silver fox was an
instrument of fate: a relentless,
machinery had been set in mo-
tion.
Because Canada and the United
States share an immensely long
frontier, which criminals on the
run can cross with ease, the po-
lice of the two countries work in
close co-operation.
In both the fingerprint system
is far more extensively employed
than is the case in Europe. Once
Fahey was under arrest, his
fingerprints were taken'as a mat-
ter of routine. They were then
sent• to the International Bureau
of Identity. at Ottawa.
From Ottawa, in spite of the
trifling nature of the offence, a
copy was forwarded to the Identi-

The result astonished even the
hard-boiled officials of the Fal,
For Mr, Fahey's prints had been
on record in the United States
longbefore the F.B.I. grime into
existence.
The trial went backtwenty-liVe
years. In May, 1900 the eastbound
Overland Mail of the Union. Paci-
fic Railroad was held up and
robbed, The robbers, a gang of
five did not get away with much
money, but the Overland Mail
was a crack train, and the out-
rage caused a sensation.
Before the creation of the F.13,1,
there was no national police sys-
tem In the country, and the State
forces varied greatly in cliff,
cleney; the railway company
therefore called in Pinkerton's
Detective Agency, then at the
height of its fame.
Within a few months Pinker-
ton's operatives, working with
sheriffs and other law officers, ran
down all five members of the
gang in three different states —
Nebraska, Colorado and Idaho,
In September, 1909, all five
were sentenced at the Omaha
District Court to life imprison-
ment in the huge penitentiary at
Fort Leavenworth, Kansas.
In April, 1910, the entire gang
broke out of prison. Their meth-
od will probably remain unique.
Seizing a small locomotive used
within the walls of Leavenworth,
they drove it through a pair of
steel gates and then for six miles
across country.
Soon after they were forced
to abandon it, four of the fugi-
tives were recaptured: The fifth,
a man named Fred Grigware,
got away.
And now, a quarter of a cen-
tury later, the fingerprints of the
respectable. Mr. Fahey, of Jasper,
Alberta, were identified as those
of the missing Fred Grigware.
At the request of the United
States authorities, Fahey was
taken into custody, to the aston-
ishment and dismay of all in
Jasper.
Fahey, or Grigware, it was
pointed out, had led a exemplary
life as a Canadian citizen for
twenty years. He had done much
good in Jasper. He had a Cana-
dian wife and.three children who
had never heard of the Overland
Mail. It was surely a ease for
letting bygones be bygones.
It is pleasantto record that the
United States Attorney-General
agreed with this view. He felt
that "no good purpose would be
served" by raking up so old a
story, and extradition probeedings
were dropped, Mr. Fahey' was left
in peace with his family..
Rats Trap Rat
All the capital cities of the
world have an underworld. Be-
neath the streets there is an-
other city, a network of tunnels,
avenues and by-ways, forming
the sewers.
The sewers do not often come
into the news, but some time
ago an old man was found
trapped in a sewer under the
main square of Catania, in Sicily.
Afraid to cross the square owing
to traffic, he went underground
—and nearly died!
In 19th century Paris the
police were loking for a

When his house was rattled
there was no sign of him, but
there was an open trap-door in
the basement.. The gendarmes
went down,, and •found them•
selves in the vast sewer system

In the distance was the sound
of squeaky uproar, where squad-
rons of huge rats; disturbed by
the murderer, voiced their pro-
test. 'By following this noise the
police ran their• quarry down.

A sign from the Motor City:
Chrysler Corporation has dis-
closed that test flights of Its
flying auto will be made in.
Chrysler is developing the ve-
WO? for the Army which, it
says, plans to have troops aboard
it by 1962.
Given unlimited funds, says a
corporation engineer, 'flying cars
could be in your and my drive-
way by the same date.
At the Army's request, the
vehicle to be tested in April will
be equipped with conventional
helicopter controls, though it
will not fly on the same princi-
ple as the helicopter.
In the final vehicle, Chrysler
engineers expect the controls
will be so simple that a garden
variety motorist could fly,
They anticipate equipping it
with a standard steering wheel
for turning, a foot pedal similar
to an accelerator to regulate
speed, and a push button to take
the "car" to desired altitudes,
The test vehicle is expected
to be able to take oft and land
vertically, achieve a speed near
60 miles an hour, and carry.

The Chrysler machine is
powered by a 380-horsepower
engine that turns two propellers
eight feet in diameter. The pro-
pellers are enclosed in ducts at
the front and rear of the vehicle,
while the driver-pilot sits in the
center.
Vanes above the propellers
control up and down movement;
vanes beneath the propellers turn
the craft right or left and con-
trol roll. A "cascade system" of
vanes beneath the machine re-
gulates speed.

Careful Of Those
Hitch-Hikers!
There are still vast areas of
America and seasons of the year
in still others where one does
not pass up a roadside figure
gesturing his request to be
picked up by the oncoming mo-
torist. His is just as likely to be
a real need as simply a money-
saving hope.
And there are innocent
"thumbers" too: the soldier or
sailor or the college boy headed
home for a brief "liberty" or a
week-end holiday from classes.
But the very definitely non-
innocent have been spoiling it
for the innocent. And more and
more the motorist is having to
consider the risks — to balance
them against his natural im-
pulse to be generous, perhaps
his desire for company if on a•
long drive alone.
For, says the American Auto-
mobile Association, "two out of
five thumbs raised to beg a
ride have iheir prints on file
with the police:" And it has
gone on record nationally to
outlaw the practice. Further-
more, the AAA warns, in many
states a hitchhiker becomes le-
gally a guest rider who can sue
his host for damages should Le
be injured in an accident.
"Thumbing" is already illegal
in 22 states; it is against mili-
tary regulations for servicemen,
and it is forbidden 'on a number
of turnpikes.
Here is another instance where
burgeoning populations and the
greater mobility of people makes
it likely that those one encoun-
ters a r e strangers — unless
proved otherwise. It doesn't
mean that helpfulness and
neighborliness must disappear.
It does mean that, more and
more, they must be partners to

Of the seven sayings, of Jesus

when suddenly I saw by my side
the man who, a few years before,
slew my father and drank his
blood, and whom I then devoted
to death.
"Imagine what I felt when I
suddenly found him by my side.
A rush of feeling came over me
that I could not endure, and I

at once seemed to see another

Jesus said, "If ye forgive not
men their trespalses, neither will
your Father forgive your tres-
passes." Matthew 6:15. Yet how
many there are in this so-called
Christian land who do not for-
give. It may be within the im-
mediate family or the larger
family of the community. This
one thing is clear: in the heart
where there is, not a complete
forgiveness toward all, there is
not forgiveness from God. No
church ordinance or any degree
of works in the church will bring
God's forgiveness until we are
ready, by the grace of God, to
forgive everyone.

Of interest to tomato growers
and home gardeners across
Canada, is the recent announce-
ment that several new tomato
varities developed at the Ex-
perimental Farm, Summerland,
13.C,, are being released for limit-
ed trial in 1959.
* *
These ' varieties are the first
introductions resulting• from an
extensive tomato breeding pro-
gram initiated at Summerland- in
1953, as a co-operative project
in which Mr. L. G. Denby has
directed the breeding work and
Mr. G. E. Woolliams has con-
ducted the disease screening
work. • * •
Through their combined efforts,
these new tomato varities have
th' unique characteristic of being
the first tomatoes developed in
Canadia which' are completely
resistant to existing strains of
Verticillium wilt,
* r, *
In a recent interview, Mr.
Denby stated that the new vari-
eties have evidenced considerable
promise under Okanagan condi-
tions. Bred primarily for Verti-
cillium resistance, earliness, and
fine fruit quality, the plants are
of the self-pruning or bush type,
and are not designed for stak-
ing. In recent trials at Summer-
land, they successfully met every
expectation; however, Mr. Denby
hastened to point out that this
is no reason to expect that they
will prove to be outstanding un-
der very .different climatic and
soil conditions in other parts of
Canada. *
Several acres of the new intro-
dtictiona will be planted cOmmer,
eially in 1959, and grower re-
action will determine the steps
to be taken in the final selection
before the varieties are named..
