Perch Are Biting— While two fishermen from Preston fretted and fumed at their small catch of a dozen perch, Mrs. Wm. •Mt- lDonald and Mrs. A. McAdam, in the short space of three •hours from the opposite end of the same boat, pulled in aboutseventy fish. There was no explanation for the unusal occurrence other than. that the ladies were net- ivee of Goderich and connected with a long line of fisher -folk, whereas the city .gentlemen, for all their fine tackle and trappings, had not the necessary finesse in inveigling the tasty •perch. Taken all in all, 'however, most of the 200 •fishermen who dang- led lines from ,breakwaters, piers and 'boats last week -end were well re- warded for their efforts—Goderich Signal -Star. THE SEAFORTH NEWS THURSDAY, MAY 12, 1938 AIR TRAVEL I -cannot lay claim to any sensa- tional flight, but my recent experi- ence of long distance flying, as a humble citizen of (Edinburgh in a hurry, is interesting, 1 was in my home at midnight on the Sunday, but on the Monday, •by 5;30 p.m. I had to 'be at :Amsterdam for an important meeting. What was I to do? !Edinburgh hav- ing no airport the only alternative was to telephone to the resident man- ager of the airport at Scone, con- trolled by the Perth municipality. I had ascertained that if I could reach • London in time I might be able to secure passage on a machine which would Teach Amsterdam 'before 5.30 p.m. on that day. I was happy to 'be informed that a machine would leave Perth at 9 a:m., but it was not certain that there would the room for me. I could, if I liked, take my chance on reaching Scone, I took the chane and was very lucky to find that a seat for just one person of my .weight—all in with luggage—was available. The journey from "Edinburgh to the City of Perth was the most mis- erable part of a journey which kook me hundreds of miles over land and sea. I had to rise on a cold, wet, windy morning at 5 am, telephone for a taxi to convey me, 'four miles or so, to the Waverley Station. There I boarded a slow train to Perth, which inedientally was packed hill by naval Mrs. 'Rebecca Jackson, Brussels— There passed away at •her home in Brussels on Wednesday, April 37th, Mrs. Rebecca (Jackson in her 87th year.

Receives Sentence— Joseph Lester of Goderich was convicted of criminal negligence by Magistrate Makins last week and sen- tenced to eight months' determinate and two months indeterminate in an Ontario reformatory. The charge arose out of the death of nine-year-old Marguerite Snell who received 'fatal injuries when struck by a car driven by the accused on March 31st as she emerged from her school, S. S. No. 5, Hullett, at 4 o'clock, four and a half miles north of Clinton on High- way No. 4. The sentence carne at the end of a six and a half hour trial without adjournment. In sentencing Lester the magistrate told Lester that he was careless and negligent in driv- ing through a school area at a time when extra precaution should hate been •exercised. The evidence showed the little girl when struck was hur- rying across the road with an honor card in her hand. The magistrate said that the fact that Lester's car had skidded 111116 feet after the ,brakes were applied, 76 feet on dry pavement be- fore the impact, showed that he must have 'been going at a very fast rate of speed. The defence evidence that a team of horses drawing a wagon and a parked car in front of the school obstructed Lester's view, was said 'by the magistrate as all the more reason why Lester should have used extra care. D. E. Holmes, prosecutor; V. J. Batsby for defence.

Sir!" As to safety—there could be no dmtbt about this—judging from the elaborate precautions taken before a machine carrying passengers is per- mitted to leave the ground. Let me say this—that in the airport of Perth everything denotes efficiency and the personnel is the essence of courtesy. 1 found that our pilot, a fine beard- ed young fellow, would not start until he had his weather report from the south. I had previously ifown on the Continent in large .civil aircraft—in- eluding the largest which the Luft - Hansa possesses, the "General von Hindenburg," with accommodation far 36 passengers and a cocktail bar, The small plane awaiting at Perth by comparison was a pigmy. or as a small tender is to the "Queen Mary."

'The Sky -Line Trail Hikers of the Canadian Rookies have a unique organization. It is open to the world at large. The only qualifications are a love of beauty, a sturdy pair of boots,. and the will to leave the main roads tor the undiscovered charms of the back country. Indications are that a gay band of adventurers will invade the beautiful Yoho Valley this sum- mer from Banff Springs Hotel, Chateau Lake Louise and the sev- eral attractive Canadian Pacific chalet -bungalow camps in the Canadian Rockies. From one cen- tral camp spectacularly situated half way between Yoho Lodge and Emerald Lake north of the Canadian Pacific Railway, the hikers Will explore along the high line, visit the fossil beds on the slopes of Mount Burgess, inspect the snowy moraine of the Yoho Glacier and pick flowers in the bird -haunted alpine meadows of Little Yoho Valley. The dis- trict has much to offer. The hikers will have opportunities to fish for fighting mountain trout, to hunt big game with camera, to get away from the ordinary hum- drum for four glorious days of mountain lite. This type of holiday, so unusual and yet so inexpensive because of the organization formed by hiking enthusiasts, . is attracting more people every year. Tho secretary -treasurer, J. Murray Gibbon, Windsor Station, Mont- real, reports that the number of inquiries already received in- dicates that there will be a record turn -out of old and new members this year.
