Bedford, hotelkeeper, to prove that their father was unduly influenced and lacked testamentary capacity, as they allege, in' the action to upset the will, Judge Costello ruled today in surrogate court, At the outset this burden of proof WW1 placed .on the executor, F. 1L Darrow, and, after a .day's testhnony, his honor ruled that a prima facie case had been made out. "So far there has , been nothing brought out to distinguish this will. from dozens of others. It has been the experience of all of us to find that "gifts to perfect strangers are bard to understand," said the judge in summing up. He ordered the case to proceed next Thursday morning -1 Thirty witnesses have yet. to be heandr Only two gave testimony to- day. to be .known as the Baden-Powell Caanp has been established in Inter- ational Park, Beaumont, California The camp is sponsored by the Beau - anent Rotary Club. and is open at all times to Scouts of any country.

' Once Worth $100,000 It developed in the evidence that the estate, once estimated at $100,000 bad been heavily burdened in the interval between the death of Mrs. Bedford in December, 1928, and her husband in January. 1932. In that interval Mre. Mary 'Bowler, housekeeper and beneficiary under the will. is alleged by the chiliren of deceased to have exercised undue influence over their father. It further developed that in this interval rents of $8,600 had been collected, that there were urpai'l 4ills 'cf 87,500, and that there is a mortgage of $4,500 against the pro- perty. Testimony yet to be produc- ed will showthat the contents of the hotel were disposed of for $10,000. The estate is stow a mere fraction of what it once was, counsel. stated.

RECREATION AREAS EASIILY REACHED For most people the summer vaca- tieo is limited to a few weeks and is really shortened by the time used in travelling to and from the focality selected. Canada has an extensive system of good roads and excellent railway services, which greatly fac- ilitate travel 'between provinces. ' Attractions Cover Wide Range Canada presents a striking diver- sity of nattuaI features—the rugged and picturesque Atlantic coast; the St. Lawrence river and Great Lakes, the wends greatest inland water- way; the Laurentian mountains, land of forest and stream; the prair- ies; the majee`ic Rockies; and the beautiful Pacific coast, The Naticnal Development Bur - eon, Department cf the Interior, at Ottawa, has prepared a series of autemcbile i'oail snaps, showing thn 1 main routes *cm one province to an- ether, also a number of interesting booklets, including "Vacati'ons in Crusade" which describe the tourist att'oetious of each province. These will be rent to any of cur readers planning a vacation. Applicants should state the areas in which they are interested. LIGHTNING• PREDICTED Canadian weather experts predict for 1932 an unusually high number of lightning storms under such .dry conditions as invite forest fires. This means that forest fire rangers, great- ly reduced in numbers during 1932, will have to depend more than ever upon the public for active aid in reporting and subduing outbreaks, With the handful of rangers that will be on duty in many areas, the Canadian Forestry Association is doing its utmost be persuade settlers, tourists, tampers and other classes to show special vigilance and to take every precaution against causing fire trouble in the woods. SHE .DEFENDS HER .PEOPLE In the course of the late Senator iP rye's speech on the Armenian out- rages, in the United States, many years ago, he said: "I do not love Great Britain par- ticularty, and could not give my as- sent to the marvellous eulogium up- on Great Britain delivered here the clay before yesterday._ I admit the greatness of Great Britain; I admit she is the greatest power on earth, and the most magnificent power ev- en' seen in the history of the world, on the ocean. I think that one of the grandest things in all the history of Great Britain is that she does pro- tect her subjects everywhere, any- where and under all circumstances; I do not wonder that a British sub. ject loves his country. "This Iittle incident, with which you are all familiar, is a marvellous illustration of the protection which Great Britain gives to her subjects: "The king of Abyssinia took a Brit- ish subject named Campbell, about twenty years ago, carried him up to Cho fortress of Magdala on the heights of a rocky Mountain, and put him into a dungeon, without cause assigned. It took Great Britain six months to find that aut. Then Great Britaineedenanded his inunediate re- lease. It was refused, In less than ton clays after that refusal was roe ceived, 100,000 British soldiers, in, eluding 5,000 Sepoys, were on board ships of war and were sailing down the coast. ' "When they, reached the coast they disembarked, marched across that terrible eotmtry, a .distance sof 700 miles under a 'burning. sun, 'up the mous tan, rap to the very heights in front of that frowning dungeon; then gave battle, battered down the iron' gates and the stone wall;''reached over into the dungeon and. -lifted ou' 19 it that one, British subject,, Ring Theoband killing himself with his own pistol. They' then ' carried hire' dawn 'the mountaincross. 'e a the 1•and;i ii ship, and sped Hilo to his hone in safety. That cost Britain $25,000,000 and made General Napier, Lord Nap- ier of Magadale, That was a great thing for a great country to do—a country that has an eye that can see all across the land, away down to the' darksorne dungeon onesubject of hers out of 38,000,000' people, and then has an arm strong enough and Tong" enough to stretch across the same ocean, across the carne lands, nip to the same mountain height, down to the same dungeon; and then lift hien out and carry him hoarse to his own country and friends.' In God's name who would` not die for a' country that will do that?" (The 'several units of the Empire are becoming so independent these late years that perhaps they might not now appreciate such paternal care as described above. What think you?..
