Mit- .-P-ICOBAC PIPE TOBACCO____ FOR A MILD,COOL SMOKE . _ Lad Drowned— • PEACE RIVER SETTLERS CUTTING ROAD TO SEA Peace River settlers, refusing long- er to be denied an Outlet to the 'Pacific coast, hive taken the Iproh- lent into their own hands and are blasting a highway 'through the Rookies by way of 'the Monkman! Pass. Some 91toh move might have bees expected from these sturdy pioneers of She ,fatthest-north "buckle" of the prairie wheat belt .valM, since they first trekked into the Peace River country, have been ipeomised a direct route to the sea that somehow never got beyond the promissory stage. The seemintg procrastination was not due to indifference on the part of Govern- mental and railway authorities. Peace River wheat was renowned for lboth quality and quarrtity and the growers' right to economical marketing •facili- ties was never disputed. Opposition to S. new railway .was entirely on the grounds of post, especially after the depression had set in. ' When Sir Edward, .Beatty, presi- dent of the Canadian Pacific Rail- way, 'finally told the people of .Grande Prairie, Alberta, "I can hold out but slim hopes Ece- any railway construc- tion in the Peace River country for some years to come," the residents determined to resort to direct action in order to bring their dreams to reality. The 'way out" in both senses of the expression, had already been sug- gested to them. Alexander Mortkman, who bad kept a fur tnading post at Lake Saskatoon 'Indic in 1898 and had watched the country change from Indian hunting Igrounds to fertile farmlands, had discovered in 11922 a pass through the Rockies—a pass of gradual and easy ascent. Later turn- ing farmer and becoming closely con- cerned in the marketing of grain, he brought his pass to- the attention of the railways. .Now, railways and Governments refusing to net, the people do, and with all the zest that promises to carry the project through to a suc- cessful conclusion. A glance at a map of western Can- ada Will disclose the significance of such a route. The Northern Alberta Railways reach up to Peace River and Grande Prairie, but stay a few miles 'beyood each. Although the Pa- cific is only about 300 miles due west, to reach it—unless :one Eies—one must travel 11,700 miles around by Ed- monton and Calgary, or Edmonton and !Jasper Park, to the sea terminus at :Vancouver, ., . . The proposed highway, only 1132 miles in length, will not only tap the main line at Hansard on the Fraser, but also the famous Yale -Cariboo Trail and some of •the most pictur- esque scenery of northwestern British Columbia leading down to Vancouver. Enthusiasm had to be •allied to cash, and the first move of the Peace River folk was to organize the Monkrnan Pass Highway Association with member,ship extending beyond their own district to 'friends in Vancouver and throughout the mountains. Boos- ter literature was circulated on which appears the slogan, "We are going through to the Pacific—we'll keep right on to the end of the road." Dances, shows, parties and donations raised the initial sum of S2,000, and in ljune„11037, 20 men armed with picks, shovels and axes started in to blaze the trail. At their head was Mr. Monkman himself. By the end of August, 60 miles of the Toad had been cut front Rio Grande to Stony Lake, small streams and swamps had been corduroyed, windfalls cleared, stand- ing timber tunnelled. By September the trail bad. reached through to Hansard, and although it was but eight feet wide and little 'better than a lumberman's wood road, a two -ton truck, carrying a .party of seven wo- men and two men, made the first momentous trip. The battle is not yet wbn however. The real highway, practical for heavy trucks as well as luxurious tourist cars, has yet to lbe built, and the nor yet the additional S15,000 raised by Vancouver businessmen, cannot go far in the construction of 9.9 .miles of modern highway. Any- way, nature is putting no serious .oh - Metes in the way. The streams have gravel . bottoms and low. banks and oMy, one river, ,the McGregor, re- quires an expensive bridge. It is not quite clear whether or no the wheat farmers are expecting to truck their '110,000,000 'bushels of wheat to sell at Hansard or whether they are hoping that this proof .of their determination and courage will induce Ottawa to vote them railway connection via the Monkman Pass.

On July Illth at about 7 o'clock Billy Blair, six-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Blair, concession 6, East Wawanosh, met his deaeh lby drowning in a small pool near the sixth line school and not far from the Blair home. Billy, who is an only son, was swimming with a companion, Billy INethery, aged Ph son of Mr. and Mrs, Albert Nethery of 'East Wawanosh, and the boys were ready to leave the water when Billy disap- peared below the surface. The other lad, not seeming to realize what had happened until his chum disappeared front sight, ran homeward to bring help. He was met by Harry Black, and the boys were able to bring the body up from the hole into which the ehild had fallen. Neither lad, however, knew anything of artificial respira- tion methods. The boy's body was re- moved to the Blair home. An inquest will not be held. The funeral was held last Thursday to Blyth cemetery. Good Flow of Water— Reeve F. L. Davidson completed his well drilling operations for the Holmdale Creamery on Friday. The well is of 4 -in, size and 1190 feet deep.

Horse Chases Automobiles—. Holiday visitors from the rUnited States, motoring through the sum- mer resort village of Bayfield, report the presence there of a horse that chases automobiles, much as do some dogs. This horse, appearing suddenly from a ditch, at night, followed one car for over 11010 yards. Traffic Officer A. 'E. Webb, eito patrols highway No. ,214 also reports that a horse jumped from a ditch at night and ran smash hit° the side of a passing ear. SUMMER SALADS "Serve on crisp lettuce and garnish with parsley or watercress" This is usually the 'final sentence to directions for making salads. which applies to the serving. of the following summer cheese salads as well as to all others. Salads must have an air of crispness, which is 'easily attained if freshly made and arranged on cold, crisp let- tuce leaves. They must also 'have eye appeal, hence a garnish of parsley, watercress, or peppergrass to add the needed touch of attractiveness. Summer is the true salad season, and although the diet should not he made up entirely of cold foods •.wen in hottest weather, the salad has a very definite .place in the summer menu.

AT BLUEVALE If auron County cannot .call Walt Disney, genius of the animated car- toon and creator of lovable and ludi- crous 'Miokey Mouse, her native son, she Can lay Claim to hav'ing been at One time the benne of three genera- tions .of his 'forebears and the birth - 'place of his lather, Elias Disney. Peter J. Cantelon, -of Goderich, a first cousin of .Walter's father and whole son-in-law and .grandson oow work in (Disney's great Hollywood studio, recalled today that„it was int sixty years ago this summer, that the Disney family deserted the old tome-' stead .in Morris 'T.ownship, near Blue - vale, and struck off for ICansas. MT. Carrtelon and Walt's father grew up together in Morris and as youngster's they were in the same class in the .old Methodist Sunday School in Bluevale. Walter's father was only 19 when the family moved away and Mr. Cante- Ion has not seen his cousin in the three score years that have intervened. All he has is the memories of the boy - 'hood days they spent together. "The history of the DisneY family in Huron County goes lback more than 90 years ,vehen Walter's 'great great grandfather came to Canada from Ireland, and settled on a farm ;lust a mile south of Hohneeville," Mr. Cantelon related. Elias •farmed for many, yearS there ton the Maitland concession ,aod. an enterprising man he WAS. He built one of the first water power grist. mills in that vicioity to grind flour for the early settlers and he also operated a little sawmill on the banks of the Maitland River, oWalter's grandfather, one of 16 children of Elias Disney, w.as 'Keppel Disney, and 'he was as handsome a man as you 'would ever meet. In those days' a man prided himself on his whiskers and Keppel Disney's were hard to beat. His whiskers and Itis jet .black hair were always well oiled and well groomed and I remem- ber so often seeing him curl the ends of his whiskers with his fingers. He stood close to six feet tall and on Sun- days you always saw him. wearing a shining silk plug hat. A handsome man he was and I'm inclined. to he- ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION lieve he knew it full well himself. "Keppel was 35 when he was mar- ried to my mother's sister, Mary Ri- thardson, whose family lived .ott the eleventh concession of Goderioh town- ship, just a few miles from hhe .D•is- ney farm. They were married at Holmesville, if memory serves me right, 'and then lUncle Keppel went up nonth 'to Morris where he took up '1100 acres of bush near Bluevale.. He built a log .cabin there and although it was torn down many years ago, I remember it very well. Later he built a white frame house and one of my boyhood friends. tAlexander (Sandy) .MoEwen, is living in it now. "My mother, Eliza Richardson, and my father, Peter Cantelon, were mar- ried prior to Keppel and his wife, and we lived one and a half miles north of Bluevale, just about three miles from the Disney home, It was in this log cabin that Walter's father. Elias. was born 79 years ago. I was only a year and a half older than he and, although we did not go to the sante school, we practically grew up together as boys. We visited back and forth all the time and often, when Keppel would be away, his family stayed with us. Bob, another of .Keppel's sons and an un- cle of Walter's was just a littleeyoung- er than Elias and. me and we all went to the same Methodist Sunday School at Bluevale. "Keppel 'cleared a good part of his t1100 acres, but when oil was discover- ed around Oil Springs 714 years ago, he struck off there to get a jab. He learned drilling .down in Lambton County and while he was absent for two years, his family made their home with us. Returning to Morris, :Keppel farmed for another two years, but the itch to do so.mething else seized him again. Kinzie Keppel was too much of a speculator and too much of a roam- er to be a settled farmer in those days. "Flis next move was to Goderich where he engaged with the late Peter. MacEWan, Father of Mayor H. j. A. MaclEwan, in drilling salt wells there. After a year in Goderich he decided to return to the farm again. A tenant, however, was in the old log cabin, 10 Keppel built a nice frame house, the one in which Sandy McEwen is still Living. "Sixty years ago this summer the urge to travel seized hint again and this time he struck off for Kansas, taking his family with hitn. There were seven ,children in the 'family by no.w and Walter's father was .19 years old, In Kansas, Keppel went in for wheat farming 'but when droughtur spoiled his first year's crop he tned to cattle raising. Two or three years later on he died anti Elias went to 'Devil's Lake, N. Dakota, ',Meanwhile 'I had gone out West to Boiss grain, Man„ and Walter's fa- ther and I corresponded foe nun years.

While there is heart beat, there is hope. In addition to keeping the patient warm in such cases, the removal of tight clothing from neck, chest and waist, artificial respiration should be continually pursued for at least four hours, This may be done by relays of operators. There is nothing difficult about the ,process, says a 'bulletin is- sued by the Health League of Canada. Anyone of intelligence can carry on the Schafer method, which is lbriefly described as follows. "Lay the patient on his stomach, one arm extended directly overhead, the other lbent at the elbow and with face on one side, Testing on the hand or forearm so that the nose and mouth are free for breathing." The face- down position clears and opens the air passages and any vomit or fluid readily runs away. Then again pres- sure brings about reduction in the size of the chest and so expelling sir,' can be applied more safely and effet- tively from 'behind than front the front. "Kneel, straddling the patient's thighs, with your knees placed at such a distance from the hip hones as will allow you to assume a comfortable po- sition. 'Place the palms of the hands resting on the ribs, the little finger just touching the lowest rib, wit'h the. thumb and fingers in a natural posi- tion, and the tips of the .fingers just out of sight." "With arms held straight, swing forward slowly so that the weight of your 'body is gradually 'brought to bear upon the,,,.patient. The shoulder should be directly over the heel of your hand at the end .of the forward swing. Do not bend your elbows. This operation should take about two sec- onds." This drives air out of the lungs. In natural 'breathing inspiration is ac- tive, expiration eassive. In this me- thod of artificial respiration, the pro- cess is reversed. - "Now swing .backvvard so as 00M - pit tely to remove the pressure" When the pressure is removed, the el- asticity of the chest causes 11 10 spring back to its normal position with an in- rush of .air. "After two- seconds swing forward again. Thus repeat deliberately aa to 16 times a minute the double move- ment of compression and release, giv- ing a complete respiration in 4 to 5 seconds," "Continue artificial respiration with- out .in•terruption until naturel breath- ing is restored, .13 necessary for 4 hours or longer, until a doctor de- clares ,the patient dead. Keep the pa- tient warm, Do not give any liquids by mouth until the patient is fully conscious."
