A free for alt puglistic contest was the event of the staged at the new Town Hall on Fri- day evening last at Citizen's Club meeting, which resulted. an the demonstration that the "Lads Of the Heather" are , to be respected even if they do grow up around Porter's Hill. Whaa might have proved a much more serious accident occurred here' last Wednesday when owing to icy roads the heavy truck and trailer be- longing to the sawmill Company be- came stalled on the incline in front of Mr. Dewars andalthough Mr. Auston, the driver applied the breaks the machine continued to slide in the di- rection of the precipice. The driver, who did not believe in the wisdom of the brave marriner ,who goes down with his ship, and seeing inevitable disaster, leaped from the wheel just as the ponderous truck and trailer tumbled' helplessly oyer into the gorge.' The machine is badly damaged and will be for some time out of comission. This also recalls the accident of two years ago when a span of horses went over the same precipes, but wonderful to relate the horses came out safely although they were attached to a heavy load of logs.

Township Girl. First, 1 Wish to disclaim that in coming out over the mountains of one of . our farthest -north rivers I did anything extrstiordlnary. 1 did not come out by airplane because I wanted to, or had so planned,. but because '1 had to. 1 was pressed for time to fulfill en- gagements. The motor -canoe which I had engaged to come down eight hundred miles of the great sweeping curve in the river across the divide hadgone wrong far upstream beyond the reach of telegram or mail; and the fur -trade steamboatwhich was to bring me out the next one thousand miles struck a sandbar in low water and sat down for the winter with her hull ln the mud to await the heave of spring floods. Then the schedule of the railroad which cuts across the half -circle of Peace River was changed at the last moment; and the result was a choice between the indefinite delay getting across to the north side of the river and out, or—a flight over delays and difficulties. Ordinarily you may motor from the south side of Peace River to the north side of the Great Bend; but the fall rains had set in, followed by frosts that cut the roads into sticky plow -furrows, and that way of exit was barred. The air- plane was there; so I took it. Yet only four years ago I sat in my office on Fifth Avenue and used every. persuasion in my power to prevent a young aviator trying to fly across the Rockies; it was unsafe; the atmospheric conditions and winds among the peaks created pockets of air, into which the air- plane might "lump'or fall; a dead engine among peaks meant certain death, for the fogs were thick as wool at cloud line, Hadn't I been caught in blizzards on Mount Stephen? Didn't I know? Didn't two of us sit roped to a Swiss guide for three hours in a snowstorm waiting for the air to clear, so we could come down? Didn't we strike the heavy timber line coming down after dark and have to do the rest of a six -mile bridlepath at a fast fog trot, stubbing toes and banging into trees where we failed to get "the feel" of open way elegy_ 1 ought to know, for we ptit the old Sfyiss guide on the rope aft so he would brace us if . we fell coming down over the iced rocks, and I had to set the pace to the fore through the dark, when we hit the timber linel What if your airplane went dead in that kind of a predicament If you came down through a blizzard in that sort of a landing place; you would be smashed on the rocks, or amid the thnbert. 1 recall I finished up buy advice to the young aviator: "Flying will never, never be either possible or safe in the Rockies. 1 have climb- ed mountains all nay life, t know." That was four years ago; and here I was, doing exactly. what I had said could not be done—doing it because l' had to, not because 1 Wanted to; and when I came down from thirty- five hundred to twenty-five hundred feet • above the clouds lying in white banks between the high shores of Peace River, with my ears humming from the'roar of the propeller" mak- ing fOuteen hundred -revolutions a minute and the thob ot ninety horse-powel pneinee making a dis- tance of one oaia 5hunired and'sixty-five miles in one atIcV; is half bolas, my first words aveie.:'' "Safe f a Rock- ing chairl '' Easter 'than a Jiloter ridei The only way to,. do this north coun- try of irnmensedistances nand moun- tain gradesl"4—Green Book. hei,4/ Aititsm Neuritis, Sciatica, Neuralgia.

GODERICH TO.HOLD REUNION THIS YEAR PAPE'S DIAPEPSIN Old B°ys' CelebratioL of Three Days, Probably in August, Decided On. Goderich, February 33.—A fairly representative meeting of the citizens washeld in the Board of Trade rooms to discuss the advisability of 'holding an old boys' reunion in i921. Th$ following officers were elected: Hom orary Presidents, Mr. Neil McKenzin, Senator Proudfoot, Major Jos. Beck, Judge Lewis, William Cariipbell, Sher- iff Reynolds, Judge 13, L. Doyle; presi- 'dent, Mayor Wigle; first vice-presi- dent, Kathleen Horton; second vice - President, the president-elect of the Board of Trade for the coming year to be decided Monday, Owing to the large number of nam- es proposed for the executive com- mittee it was decided to form a com- mittee to name 12 of these and re- port next Tuesday night. The feeling in favor of holding a three-day celebration was very strong and every effort will be bent on mak- ing it, the first reunion Goderich has had in many years, a pronounced suc- cess. As a number of other places near by are holding their reunion about August 1, the local celebration will likely follow right after, in or- der to have good attractions. Children. Cry° FOR FLETCHER'S CASTORIA FEDRAI, INCOME FORMS READY:NEXT WEEK And An Instructive Pamphlet Will Be ' ilssifedviive FeveDays.' • , .... • (Toronto Star) Federal income forms for 1920 will be ready for distribution in Toronto the first of next'week, The Star learn- ed at the office of the local Inspector of taxation at 59 Victoria Street, to- day, Altogether, five different forms are to be used, for individual incomes, incomes of estates and trusts, cor- poration incomes, incomes by way of dividends received fromcorporations and return of incomes paid by en!, ployers. It is expected that a pamphlet will be issued within the course of a few days giving complete instructions as to what is expected from those mak- ing returns,' and, explaining in detail the time and manner of tax payments required to be made. An innovation this year is that all returns are to be made to the local collector of taxation, who will in turn forward them to Ottawa. The act provides that the taxpayer may send with his form a check to cover the total amount of the tax, but in any case a check for 25% of'the tax must go with forms one and two, • which are the returns to be filed by individuals and of cor- poratioin. if the latter course is chosen the balance of the tax must be paid in • monthly instalments, and all unpaid amounts Will bear interest at 6% per annum. Thus by paying entire:tax at once, the taxpayer may save this charge for interest, As heretofore the exemption 'for married men le $2,000.- and for un- ' married men 511,000. An additional exemption or $200 for each depend- ent child under the age of 18 years is • also allowed as heretofore. The normal fax is '1 % on the total taxably amount of income up to $6,000, and 8% On the excess over $6,000, The super tax applies to taxable amounts in excess ol 85,000 being 1% on every tiling over 85,000, and tip to 146,000 and gradually until it readies a Maxi- ' of 65 %, which Is the super tax IfICOlflet in excess of 81,000,000.
