Bullets Waste Dollars' in 'part: "If' the . Canadian National officials can put tie stop to this dap-' gerous practice they ` will earn ' the gratitude of ithe citizens." A survey made by the Inyestiga. tion- Department shows that 'rifles with high velocity ,bullets are used by youths ranging from 18 to 28 years of age.

"It may be a big job to prevent this practice,'" Mr. Galloway said, "but we are determined to stamp it'. out. On the grounds of economy it is not only desirable but essential; There is also the safety factor to consider.

E. D. McDowell in The Canadian National Railways Magazine. Amateur Sharpshooters and their to Stratford and Brandon; but this target practice on insulators and other railway property cost one man's working time every year. A youth and a rifle are not usually considered a potentially dangerous combination but when the two are found on a railway right-of-way an unpleasant sequel is possible in this year 1934. The Canadian National Telegraphs do not find youths, rifles and railway tracks a harmless combination. Shin- ing glass insulators snake an almost irresistible target. Last year the use of these insulators for target prac- tice cost the telegraphs more than $23,000.00. An insulator costs roughly seven cents: to install it another eight cents, or 15 cents for .the complete replacement work. One insulator is a small matter, but when there are thousands to replace, the story is vastly different. To illustrate the work involved consider that one Canadian National line -man did nothing else in 1933 but repair damage done by youthful sharpshooters. Last year no fewer than 157,083 insulators were broken and replaced on the telegraph system, of which 98,103' were renewed on the Atlantic and Central regions, and 58,- 980 on the Western Region. Of this number it has been shown that 98 per cent. wcro wantonly broken. BEE CAUSED MOTOR ACCIDENT As Mr. and nlrs. Henry Hossfeld and several 'members of their family were motoring on No, 9 Highway, near Teviotdale, they discovered ail upturned car in the ditch. An ex- amination revealed the presence of a man under the machine, and with other help that arrived, they were successful in getting him from be- neath the machine. He was badly bruised and cut, but was able to tell that the accident was caused by a bumble bee which entered the CRT and stung the driver, causing hint to lose control of the car, which upset into the ditch and nearly cost the owner his life.—Mildmay Gazette. #7k CANADA'S PREFERENCE The favorite beverage of Cana- dians, natural, considering the Bre, tish ancestry of many of them, is tea. A report just issued hsows that the imports into the Dominion dur- ing 1932 totalled 40,417,747 pounds, of which. the larger part came from British India. In that year Canada imported -only about . 31,000,000 pounds of coffee.—New York Times. PERTIENT QUESTION It was reported the other day that cats have hearing many times more acute than man, and that a cat can hear a mouse walking a city block away.

EMPIRE TRADE Nearly three times as much ham and bacon was exported to the Uni- ted Kingdom in March as a year ago in the same month. E'nipire trade is certainly growing in leaps and bounds. -Kingston Whig -Standard. WHAT'A LUCKY MAN! A Frenchman had a lottery ticket and' &ed.,They buried . the ticket with him This appears to be a suc- It takes 10 minutes to replace an insulator. Therefore linemen of the Canadian National Telegraphs spent 1,570,830 minutes of their working time in doing this job. This million and a half of wasted minutes reducee itself to 327 eight-hour days. When the 52 Sundays are deducted from the calendar year, a total of 313 work -days are left. Thus it will be seen that to renew those 98 per cent, of insulators needlessly broken by target practice, even more than a complete year's work of a single man is required. The exact cost of renewing insula- tors in 1933, was placed by the tele- graph officers as $23,652.45. This cost is based upon the wages and expenses of linemen, the amount of actual time involved and the cost of the insulators. Other factors which might be taken into consideration would send the total expense much higher, all chargeable to target prat•' tics. Sometimes a rifle bullet not only shatters the insulator but also severe the wire: sometimes the wire is bro- ken but the insulator escapes, The result is the same. A lino of com- munication is cut. When this chances to be a 24 -channel carrier current wire, such as those operating between Toronto and Winnipeg, then 48 oper- ators at the two telegraph terminals sit back in their chairs until repairs are made.

It wrote', grading scale of population density does not act strictly according to the rule -of -thumb. Toronto is the ex- ception which proves the rule. On the border of Toronto there is one mile of line which has become the bad lands of the entire telegraph sys- tem. On this one mile, between Tod- morden and Oriole in the Don Valley, during two weeks in April, more thar 500 insulators were nipped by target shooters. Last year more than 4,000 insulators had to be replaced. A determined campaign has been inaugurated by D. 10. Galloway, As- sistant Vice -President in charge of the Canadian National Telegraphs, in co-operation with the Investigation Department, to put a stop to this type of target practice. The drive opened in the Don Valley during Ap- ril and in one week -end the railway police seized a large numbler of cata- pults, air guns and eight .22 and .33 calibre rifles. The owners of the latter were summoned to court, while the boys carrying catapults and air guns were cautioned and the wea- pons taken from them. Subsequently, those summoned to court were con- victed of trespass and their rifles con- fiscated. Superintendent Flynn of the In- vestigation Department stated that not only had indiscriminate shooting upon the railway right-of-way prov- ed costly to the Telegraph and Tele- phone Department but it also en- dangered life and the possible safety of railway operation. Yard limit signals at the Toronto Terminals have been shot out time and again and sectiomnen's hand cars or gas speeders have been struck by stray bullets. "We must protect the oper+ ation of our trains and the safety of our sectionmen," he said. "We are now issuing a publec warning that in future all trespassers found car- rying firearms will be immediately taken to court." The Canadian National's effort td stop target shooting upon its right- of-way has received cordial support from the press. In an editorial un- der the title of "Shooting by `Smart Alecks' in the Don Valley," the Mail and Empire, Toronto, said: "Rifle shooting under proper con- ditions is fine exercise. But when the targets are glass insulators and glass signal lamps of the Canadian National Railways it is time to call a halt. Each spring boys and young men have indulged in this practice much to the annoyance and loss of the railways. For some reason; probably because they are out of work, these rowdies are especially numerous this year. The destruc- tion to property is correspondingly greater. These malicious youths no doubt think, if they think at all, that DOINGS 1N .THE SCOUT WORLD An American Boy Scout Evangelist A 17 year old j. S.

A YARN FROM KINCARDINE Seventy -Mile Swim to Goderich and Back—Ali in One Day Kincardine has a Baron Munchau- sen, according to The News, of that town. .Many of his stories relate to swimming, and his best one, accord- ing to The News is of one time when, strolling alone on the wharf at Kin- cardine on a hot summer day, he de- cided he would like to visit his girl, who resided in .Goderich. Undressing, he rolled his clothes in a bundle and deposited them under a loose board in the wharf and took to the waters of Lake Huron. Some hours later as he pulled up to the dock at Goderich he discovered to his disappointment that it was impossible for him to leave the water, as he was without clothes. After convincing himself that there was nothing else for it, he turned around and swam the thirty- five miles back to Kincardine. --,Goderich Signal, TUCKERSMITH: While moving a colony house at his farm in Tuck- ersmith, last week, Montgomery Pat- rick, well known farmer, had his legs broken.
