Fischer, part salary, Welfare TRY IT SOMETIME The local train was pulling out from the station. The old gentleman was just sitting down comfortably. Suddenly the door burst open and a young farmer tumbled into the coach and seated himself, panting and puffing, opposite the old gentleman. The old gentleman looked on with obvious disapproval. "You must be very unfit, young man," he said after a while. "Why, when I was young I never panted and got out of breath like that after a run." "Perhaps not," retorted the young farmer, regaining his breath a little, "but I missed the train at the last station." administration and mileage, 3314.00; Better Feeds Ltd., Tax rebate, 373.85; Receiver - General, unemployment ins., $8. 16, Road Accounts -- James Wright, 330. 00; George Lam- bert, 3141.50; Geo, Gallaway, 3312.32; William Mundell, 3166. 67; Fleming Johnston, $35,00; Ernie Merkley, Fuel oil and gas, 3704, 55; Nia- gara Brand Chemicals, brush spray, 3236.40; Engeland Produce Co. , spraying,3175. 00; Pollard Bros.

FIRST, BUT NOT FASTEST The English Channel is about 20 miles wide at its narrowest point from Dover to Calais. The first recorded swim across the Channel was made by Captain Matthew Webb, who started from Dover on August 24, 1375, and arrived at Calais on August 25, 21 hours and 45 minutes' later. His speed was, there- fore, less than one mile per hour. Since then several swim- mers have made the rough Channel crossing in less than 15 hours; and in 1926, G. Michel negotiated the distance in 11 hours and 5 minutes. CORRECTION There was ari error in the ob- ituary of Mrs. J. F. Young in last week's paper.
