For a Royal Canadian Mounted Police officer in Search of an accused man, and for Dr. Owen, otit to take, an expectant mother to hospital, the P perilous Christmas 'journey was a - eepted as routine and then forgotten. The 60 -mile- journey from the town of Notkiewih, 400 miles north of here, to a place called Keg River, was uneventful. It was the; return jour- ney, through rolling country where occasional steep bills make the going difficult even in summer, that tried all their resources. On one occasion the sleigh broke down and they were forced to walk eight miles to a cabin, aourrney through three feet of snow that re - gaited' seven hours. They' reached the cabin where the fair-haired physician in the far north Alberta Government service was to 'find her patient ,Only to .least' a 15 - year -old boy, one of five children, had gone out the day before to look at some traps and had not returned. They found his body frozen stiff, only a" mile and a half from hone. 'Entire Family Taken Out • That the father had to accompany the body to civilization Meant the enure family had tt be taken out. With therm, in addition to the officer and the man he arrested at Keg Riv- er,. was the mail freighter and his party. In all, 12 people, with food intended for five. Women and children were loaded into a sleigh called a "caboose," merely a sleigh en which a tent was pitched, where a stove was kept Rest- ed, and where the 40 -year-old physi- cian prepared five meals a day for her patient, the children and the others. The thermotrimeter sant: to 72 de- grees below zero as they started out on the.last lap of 40 utiles. One horse e weakened and had to be shot, but they struggled on. It meant death to stop, Dr; Owen said. . • They could not make rove than a mile an hour.kThe horses tired, their legs stiffened. Every three or four miles they halted. A fire was built, the horseswarmed, and they went On. The horses werein' cloud of a o fog. The lead team was not visible from the sleigh, or the team behind it, 15 feet back. All that day, that night and until past noon they traveled, making the 40 miles in 36 hours. That they lived to come through is something Dr. Owen cannot ex- plain now. "It was a nightmare," she said. Only the valiant efforts . of tiring, freezing horses kept them from perishing.. Goderich Had Serious `ire Saturday Night A $25;000 fire was battled for ten hours' Saturday night by the local fire brigade • and many volunteer firemen when • 0, C. tee's ship chan- dlers : building at the harbor was totally demolished. The Western Canada Flour- Mills. stave shed ad- joining the ruined building, also was extensively 'damaged. • The alarm was sounded about 8 o'clock. Saturday • night, when fire was discovered' both in Lee's building and' the stave=shed. It is not known in which building the fire originated. •'Again late Sunday morning the fire men were' called to extinguish a fresh outbreak in the ruins. Four. lines of hose were used in Saturday night's fight with the flames, which were fanned by an icy wind off Lake von. It was a hopeless task attempting to save the ship chandlers building, as oil, oakum and paint provided fuel for the flames. Hardware and plumb- ing supplies and electrical machines were lost, but the loss is partially covered' by insurance. The building, built by Mr. Lee's grandfather as a grain warehouse ninety-eight years ago, was occupied by three generations of the family. ected by a "startling majority," he said, adding "He must beware of 'dan- ger of his lifer in 1936, because, like all . of the assassinated president's, Lincoln, Garfield 'and McKinley, he was born„ under, the sign of Aquarius. that sign, now is about to be affected by Uranus. Nerve, who in February, 1934, predicted a "conflict between a large and small nationsomewhere in Afri- ca," said the itaio-,Ethiopian war is certain to involve other countries. The Unites States, lie said, would not be involved, "Bu,t,the conditions of war will re- main, pm four years," he continued, "and 1940 will see this country,faeing+ i,. a historic crisis in a short, deadly' conflict." ' Japan and Russia will go to; was next year, he said.

GODERICH: Shipping in Gocler- ioh made -a substantial increase this year over last year, according to figures obatined from the local reg- istrar ofshipping. sh ppng. This year 180 grain, coal, oil and passenger steam- ers made Goderich a port of call, as compared with 142 in 1934, an in- crease of 38. Eight ships, including the passenger steamer Georgian, are laid up here •for the winter. This number will not be. added to, except by the arrival of the ;tug/ William L.

CANADIANS WIN CHAM- PIONSHIP AT CHICAGO' Farmers from Canada 'who exhib- ited at the 36th annual International Live Stock Exposition and 17th an- nual International Grain and Hay Show held at Chicago front Novem- ber 30. to December 7, 1935 inclus- ive, demonstrated the high quality of their products entered in :compe- tition with those from all parts of the 'United States , and •other coun- tries by winning a substantial list of championships, first prizes and hundreds of lesser awards. A tabulation •of the'prise lists show that -Canada won 18 championships and 12 reserve championships, ten .of the former' being 'for sheep, two for cattle, one for horses and five " for field crops—wheat, field, beans, field peas, soy beans and white corn; 'eight of the reserve championships were for sheep and four for field crops— wheat, field beans, . field peas and alfalfa seed. What is regarded as the outstand- ing honor won by Canada at Chicago Was the winning' of the wheat chain- `pionship which was awarded to, W. Frelan Wilford of Stavely, Alberta, for his exhibit of Reward, wheat, a hard red spring variety, 'developed by the Cereal Division cf the Experi- mental Farms Branch, Dominion De- partment of Agriculture and first re- leased in the spring of 1928. Wil - ford's charnpibnship sample o f wheat, whichawol over hundreds of entries, weighed 66.6 pounds to the bushel.

ACCIDENTS DO NOT IIAPPEN 'rimy Are Committed Through Carelessness "The Perils of Staying at Borne" are emphasized by Paul 1V. Kearney writing in the Lades' I•lome Journal and the article is reproduced 'in -con- densed form; Life insurance company Lound that the risk of injury, at home is seven tines as great as when rid- ing on public conveyances of various kinds. • The old sentiment, "Homo is where the heart is," is being amended these days to read: ,"Home is. where jou. trip over •a rug and fracture your collar bone." For it is the brutal fact. that one. of the most dangerous spots on earth is hone, sweet horn, , Recently a large life insurance Cori- an coneluded stud of117,000 p y y accidents with the opinion that the risk from injury at Monne • is;"almost seven 'tithes as great as when riding on buses, taxicabs, boats, airplanes, trains and .other public conveyances." The National Safety Council reports that our annual automobile slaughter kills only five per cent. more people than home accidents about which we hear next to nothing. Indeed, in some cities the motor car runssecond to the domestic accident as an under taker's leader. Considering the occupational has ands of industry, it is interesting to note that while 15,000 were accident- ally killed in the entire industrial field in 1932, 28,000 were killed at home; almost twice as many, Not long ago -a safety survey of '60 different cities resulted in the cold blooded actuarial forecast' that next year one hone in every seven will have to lay out an average of $148 in medical care, lost wages and re- lated expenses for some kind of sil- ly mishap -and in nearly 30,000 homes that outlay is going to include funeral expenses. What is to be done about it? Well, 44 per cent of all important domestic injuries cone from falls. Chief offenders can be listed briefly: Rugs—Rugs kill approximately 17 times as many householders as does electricity. Rugs on slippery .floors should be equipped with anchors to keep them tight. • Misplaced objects This covers a wide field; playthings left around the floor; tools or household utensils left where they don't - belong; articles left where they don't belong; articles left at the head or foot of stairs to be caraied down or up later. Poor Light — Inadequate illumina- tion is a prolific cause of stair tum- bles especially on cellar or porch steps. Ansi since the average stair fall costs $132 for doctor's bills, it is obviously cheaper to have a light in those dark' places. Bathtubs—About 120,000 people are injured every Year from slipping in the bath and the bulk of these accidents could be prevented by the simple use of a firth handrail at the side of the tub, and the use of a vacuum mat to stand on.
