Cantwell With Wife and Two Nieces Chases Bruin Almost Into Village Wm. Cantwell,; who farms on the' of those power units involved in the 8th of. Colborne,' with his wife and two nieces, Margaret and Mary' Mc- Millan, were proceeding to Carlow. just before nine o'clock Tuesday ev, ening, July 3rd. It was still too'. light to turn on the headlights and they were in no harry so their car did not make much noise. Passing - the Fisher farm. Mr. Cantwell saw what he thought was a big dog come out of a field and walk onto the road. As he, approach- ed it he suddenly realized that it was a black bear, almost fully grown. financial agent. With the passing of tlrne, bringing about a condition in which the On- tario Government has become owner Thebear heard, the car and dart- ed off down the road toward Carlow. As the oar got closer he started to run, picking up speed until he was kicking up quite a dust. He kept on the road for what Mr. Cantwell es- timates as 39 to 40 rods when he swerved off, and slipping through the road fence, headed ' for the or- chard on the McBr de farm, Travelling in high gear Mr. Bear hit the heavy wire fence around the orchard and bounced back with what ought to have been a very surprised look on his face. 'however, he pick- ed himself up and scaling a post at the corner, hied himself off at a great pace into the gathering -dark. Mr. Cantwell turned into the Me - Bride farm with the idea of heading him off so that more neighbors could get a look at him but he and Mr. McBride, who had came out, decided it was too dark to pursue further. Mrs. Cantwell and the girls, while interested in the experience, did not appearto be frightened. Asked how big he was Mr. Cant- well replied, "I don't know, but he was as big as ,the bears in the zoo at Springbank in London. I think he would veigh 300 pounds. Bruin's tracks were plainly visible in the dust of the road next morning, so the farmers are on the lookout, with a special eye to the pigpens. Bears are said to like pork when they get hungry.

Yes, and there are a whole lot of people' who will, next winter, be standing, hat in hand in the presence of people whom they have belittled during the recent election. —Exeter Times -Advocate; EIGHT HOUR DAY FOR FIREMEN Firemen. in Hamilton Convention went on record in favor of the eight- hour day.

BE CAREFUL IN WATER During the next couple of months the young people of this district will spend considerable time in the old swimming hole, So far this year two little folk have had close calls from drowning, and parents are warned to urge continued vigilance on the part of the older swimmers for the smaller brothers and also to curb rowdyism which' becomes •pre- valent at tines. One source of great danger is the use of tires by those unable to swim. Only last week a youngster fell off one of these when it tipped and wasrescued by one of the bigger boys close by. What would have accursed if the lad had been by himself .' or with those of his own age is not hard to picture,. W'e have been quite free of drowning accidents here and we wish to keep our record clean. —Flesherton Advance.. THE HYDRO As was to be expected the Ontario Municipal Electric .Association has shown a decided disposition to resist' the carrying into effect of Mr. Hee- burn's many threats of government interference with ,'the operation of the Hydro -Electric Power Commis- sion. hydro affairs seem to have got into a rather mixed up condition, and if it is in the power of the Gov- ernment to meddle with them to the extent threatened, it is time the whole system were overhauled and put back into the position it originally occu- pied and from which it was never in, tended to be removed. This position was that of a purely development of. Northern Ontario, a condition has arisen in which the ownership is divided, though ,the'ad- ministr•ation is 'under the one Com, mission. Rather than 'suffer a con- dition of affairs under which succes- sive Governments can undo the works of their predecessors, it might be better to separate the ownership entirely and have a municipal com- mission to operate the municipally - owned units and leave the Govern, ment to make a political football of its own part of the properties if it so desires. It is hard for an unbiassed person to see any wrong doing in the con- duct of Hydro affairs, but the whole undertaking can be wrecked in short order if it is, subject to political in- trigue and meddling. Ridgetown Dominion. DON'T PUSH IT T00 FAR One of the questions that has agit- ated Parliament during the recent session has been whether the notes of the. new Bank of Canada should be printed in both. English and French. It gave rise to much racial feeling among the French-Canadian members an both sides, and Premier` Bennett is said to have' had to ad- dress his Quebec followers in very strong' terms in caucus. In the end the proposal was defeated by 69 to 42. The Liberals were joined by four French-Canadian Conservatives, but, on the other hand, the Govern- ment was supported by the Progres, sives. Mr. Bennett has agreed that bills shall be printed in English and also in French for those who want them, but this does not satisfy Que- bec members. While we have ,syn, pathy and liking for our French -Can- adian fellow countrymen, and • are quite content that they should have the offiical use of their own language we think' they make a mistake to push bilingualism to a point where it will be considered a nuisance by the English-speaking majority. The tendency in this direction of late is already causing a revulsion of feel- ing which will not tendto promote the good will that had been growing, and which in the end will not be to the advantage of the French -Cana, dians: Orillia Packet -Times. • SOME WEEDING NECESSARY In Huron, there are 81 county con- stables on the list, but some of them are dead and only fifteen are active.

Stevens, minister of trade and commerce at Ottawa. Whatever other's are doing he is steadfastly in, vestigating one by one, the big cor- porations, showing the people where big profits go, whence hard times and thedepression come. But his work won't amount to much if it isn't studied, backed and supported by the common people. Kings, her, ons and patriots, cannot stand a- lone. Their strength is in the hands. of those who follow. Unless he je supported consistently, tithe pro4hic ers' money will still find its way 'to the profiteers' pockets, financial ex- perts may get it from the profiteers and brokers get it from the finan- ciers, but for the man who earns his bread by his perspiring but not think, ing forehead, there is no power that. availeth excepting hie own.—Hon.

A Pair of Gilt Buckles By Rolf Bennett "So that's North Africa " murmur- ed Angela Sefton wonderingly, as she leant over the taffreil of the S. A. Avon and gazed at what appeared to be a' dark cloud on the horizon. "Yes," "said the chief officer, who had just pointed it out to her. "To- morrow," he added, "you'll be able to have a run ashore at Saffi." "Do you know, Mr. Kendon, I've never been to Africa before," remark- ed the girl, as though .this ° were a THURS., JULY" 12, 1934 rather shameful confession. George Kendon laughed. "As to that," ho said, "there are quite a number of people who have never been to Africa." There was, he reflected, a certain earnest simplicity about this girl, an utter lack of "swank", that was inn, :nensely appealing. Of the hundreds of young women he had met in the. course of these pleasure cruises, and to whom it was part of his duty to be pleasant and attentive, there had not been one to whom' he had regret- ted saying good-bye._ But this girl was altogether "dif-4 ferent" Not because she happened to be rather strikingly beautiful, with red -gold hair and eyes like dark am- ber—leome of those other girls had'. been just as lovely, and a few even. more so—but because of her intense sincerity. "I rather envy you," he went on. "I can still remember dimly the thrill I felt at first setting eyes on a for- eign land." And now, I suppose, you scarcely know what a thrill feels like?" sug- gested the girl, looking up at him with her frank smile. "Oh, no, I'm not impervious to thrills!" he protested. "Especially," he added to. himself, "when you smile at me like that with those wonderful eyes of yours." • "I'm glad to hear that," she laugh, ed. "Life must be very dull if it has lost all its thrills." "What I really meant," Kendon hastened to explain, "was that when, for instance, you've seen the African coast at least a score of times it ceases to have much novelty." "Yes, I can understand that., I suppose there is scarcely a thing, ev- en the most _wonderful, which one cannot get tired of if only ones sees it often enough." "That," retorted the chief officer rather daringly, "depends on just how wonderful the thing is. I can imag- ine myself living in a perpetual state of wonder and end adoration." The eyes met for an instant, and something in his 'caused the girl to lower her own hastily, while a warm flush spread over her face and neck. Realizing that he had been indiscreet, the man made a desperate effort to return to the safe and commonplace. "You'll find plenty to interest you in Saffi," he said hastily, and pro- ceeded to describe the sights of the town. "Oh, T shall enjoy everything!" ex- claimed the girl happily, and Ken - don realized, with relief, that she was not offended. "And,now," he said, "I must go and spend the next four hours on Mount Misery." "Mount Misery?" she repeated. "That's just another hams for: the bridge," he laughed. "Good-bye!" Yet, as he mounted the bridge lad- der the expression on the chief offi, ear's handsome, sunburnt, face chan- ged from laughter to gloom. He knew by this time that he was head over heels in love with Angela Sefton, and this .knowledge, so far from making- him akinghim happy, caused him profound mis- ery. For she was rich, an heiress, while he was not only dependent on his salary, but had an invalid sister to support. Even if she eared for him --and he had no reason, he assured himself, to suppose that she did —pride would prevent hint ever asking her to mar- ry him. It was true that, inadvert- ently, he had let her see that he was not indifferent to her, but he had pul- led himself up immediately after- wards. He would have to watch him- self carefully. .It wouldn't do for a thing like that to occur again. The following day, as Angela was about to descend the accommodation ladder to one of the shore -going boats, she came upon Kendon. "I hope you have a good' time," he said. "Wish I was coming." "So do—rbegan the girl, and checked herself. "I mean," the ended hurriedly, "it seems a shame that we should be going ashore *to enjoy ourselves while others like yourself have to remain on board and work." "You mustn't forget that we're paid to work, while you pay to enjoy yourself," he pointed out. "All the same," he went on, throwing good resolutions to the winds, "I shall be going ashore for a' couple of hours' later on. .1f you should happen to he sear the north=west gate about four o'clock we might. have tea to - gather." "That sounds rather jolly," she answered. . "I01 certainly try to be there." Onthe shore a horde of natives surrounded the visitors, each, claim- ing to he the only reliable guide in Saffi. 'One, a tall, picturesque -look- ing rascal, .attached himself -to An, gela and refused to be dismissed. After they had "done" most of the sights he offered to show her the mellah, a part of the town not usual- ly visited by Europeans. • "You see what others not see," he explained. "Wonderful; carpets, jew- els, curios. Yes?" "All right," said Angela, who had become rather tired oflooking at Moorish ruins, "let's go." He took her back through the town toa strange -looking quarter where the streets were so narrow that it was possible sometimes to span them with outstretched arms. The place smelt evil and looked evil, and Angela was about to suggest turning back when she was suddenly seized from RANGE is the prime eesence of n.vacation and a canoe trip in Canada is one method by which the stress of daily life can be ex- ' changed for a tranquil, carefree :existence. It may be for a limited timo only but its effects are felt all the year round. Jostling crowds, rumble of traffic, hot pavements and vitiated air have no place in the life of the canoeist. A large number of interesting routes are outlined in "Canoe Trips in Canada," a booklet recently issued by the National Parks of Canada, Department of the Interior, Ottawa. Following the routes described there- in one can drift lazily along or re- live the strenuous days of the voya- geur. There are cruises whioh lead for a hundred miles through canal, stream and lake with alternating civilization and lightly wooded country. There are long, smooth flowing rivers and placid • lakes on which one can travel for days, and by contrast rushing streams which ever and again break into foaming rapids and thundering falls. There are adventurous trips through wilder- ness country along routes once fol- lowed by Indian and f ur-trader, now almost forgotten so seldom are they travelled, Strange geological forma- tions, wild Iife, good. fishing, the charming and the picturesque await the advent of one's canoe on the numerous and varied water trails of Canada. behind. Before she couldutter a err a blanket was thrown over her head and her arms were pinioned. Ghgged and helpless, she was car- ried through a doorway, down some steps, and deposited on . a sort of couch in a low -roofed apartment. Then the enveloping blanket was re. moved from her head, her arms were set free, and she was able to sit "Why am I here? Who are you?" she demanded in steady voice, though her face was pale with fear. There were three men in the room, all in picturesque Eastern dress. Two of them, . armed with rifles, stood neer the door, while the third --a tall, Powerfully built man, stood gazing down at her. "You are going on along journey, Miss Sefton," he said in surprisingly good English. "It will depend on yourself how long that journey will be." "What do you mean?" demanded the girl. "I mean that you wi]1 be taken to the remote fastnesses of the Atlas mountains, and there you will remain until the ransom which I shall de - mend is paid. Twenty thousand pounds is the sum. "We are leaving at once, before anyone notices your absence. Pres, ently, when we are safe from pur. suit, you shall write a letter toyour friends."
