father
In last week's picture of the stone
crushing crew, the boy in the back
with Ernie Carter was his brother
Goldie. Ernest Caner of Wingham
phoned the office to identify the
other boy. He was very pleased to
have' the picture as a memento.

•from page 4
the rough and tumble, hard -drinking
womanizers and scoundrels he
immortalized, Service was a
teetotaller and a physical fitness
buff.
Service returned to the Klondike
and wrote another collection of
verse, "Rhymes of a Rolling
Stone." In the autumn of 1912, he
took the last steamboat out of Daw-
son, and never returned.
His life remained action -packed.
As a reporter, he covered' the
Balkan War, and during World War
One he served as an ambulance
driver and as an intelligence officer
for the Canadian Army. His collec-
tion of war poetry. "Rhymes of a
Red Cross Man," headed the non-
fiction best-seller list in 1917 and
1918.
Dispelling rumors of his death,
Service published at least 10 books,
while living comfortably in Monte
Carlo and Brittany.
In 1958, Canadian television
broadcaster Patrick Watson and
journalist Pierre Berton interviewed
the 84 -year-old self -pro -claimed
"rhymer" at his villa overlooking
the Mediterranean.
"Say, wouldn't it be a sensation if
I croaked in the middle of this
interview?" asked Service with a
twinkle in his eye. The Bard of the
Yukon died a few months later,
leaving a legacy that is the stuff of
myth.
