Honour Anniversary of
English Composer
The 125th anniversary of the death
of the man who gave England its
most famous sea songs — Charles
Dibdin — will be marked in music
and drama on the programme, "By
the Sea," from Vancouver studios
Sunday, September 3, 10.30.11.00 p.m.
BODST on the coast-to-coast network
of the CBC.
A short dramatic sketch of Dibdin's
life will be presented, with the assist-
ance of F. Dibden Heselkine of Vic-
toria, who is a great -great grandson
of the famous English composer.
A musical salute will be presented
by Percy Harvey's orchestra and the
Bluejackets' Male Chorus, offering
Dibdin's "The Bell's of Aberdovey"
and 'the supremely fine "Tom Bowl-
ing," written in cominemoration of
his uncle Tom, who died at sea.
Dibdin was as prolific as he was
great. it is claimed that he wrote
1400 songs. His greatest successes
were his sea songs, numbering about
100. Their rousing spirit and roman-
tic appeal are said to have sent more
men into the navy in Nelson's day
than all the press gangs were able to
gather in.
When Dibdin was 17, he had com-
posed an operetta, words and music,
and it was accepted and acted at Cov-
ent Garden. At 20, he was the most
popular singer in another operetta at
Covent Garden and at 23 was contri-
buting music to, very successful
pieces produced by David Garr1ck at
Drury Lane. i

Fingers Amputated—
Mr. Roland Williams, of Usborne,
had his right hand badly lacerated in
a threshing machine on the Yarm of
Louis Johns, Eiimviile, Wednesday of
last week. He was removed to St.
Joseph's. Hospital, London, where it
was found necessary to amputate
about two-thirds of the hand. His
condition at present is fairly satis-
factory and he is expected home in
the near future. Mr. Williams was
assisting in operating the separator
and was at the back of the machine
feeding some straw into the blower
after it had passed through the cut-
ting box. In some manner the straw
shot his hand upward and the sus
tion from the knives drew his hand
into the revolving blades. It all hap-
pened in the fraction of a second.—
Exeter Times -Advocate.
Heavy Grain Movement—
Large quantities of wheat have
been moving over the Huron and
Bruce subdivision of the C.N.R. to

He was apparently in this position

Buffalo to Hanover on Bicycle—
Years ago, when bicycle riding was
at the height of its popularity, it was
the goal of all good cyclists to be a
"century rider"—that is, to ride 100
miles in a day. With the advent of
the automobile the bicycle with its
"push power" is not so popular any
more, and we imagine there are not
very many present day riders 'who
would attempt a "century ride." How-
ever, there still are a few long-
distance riders left, and one of them
is a 20 -year-old Buffalo youth, Edward
Schano. He wheeled from Buffalo to
Hanover, a distance of 180 miles, in
less than 17 hours.—Hanover Post.
Car Passes Over Child—
A narrow escape from serious in-
jury or probably a fatality occurred

James Grant of town, received, a bro-
ken leg below the right knee and bad
scrapes and bruises caused by a car,
driven by Mr. Herb McNaughton,
passing over her while she was play-
ing in a lane near the family home
opposite the bathing pool on Yonge

behind the parked auto and was not
detected by the driver when he
climbed into the vehicle and started
to back away.—Walkerton Herald.
Ripley' stays Dry—
Ripley village. in Bruce county, by
166 votes to 149, rejected a move for
beverage rooms and decided to con-
tinue as a local option town. Two
subdivisions were operated, one re-
turning a 17 majority for the wet
forces, and the other a majority of
84 for the dry supporters. Any change
from local option would have necessi-
tated the beverage room forces poll-
ing a three-fifths vote.
MANY MISHAPS ATTRIBUTED
TO DRY ICE
Urban householders who bring
homeice cream on hot summer days
know what dry ice is. Many have
handled it, too, lifting it quickly out
of the container, juggling it and per-
haps dropping a small piece into a
glass of water to watch it fizz.
But not so many, apparently, are
aware of the hazards of this re-
markable product, for accident rec-
ords show an increasing number of
mishaps due to the mishandling of
this commonplace -looking stuff. Chil-
dren, especially, are falling victim to
it; hence this word of warning, writes
Paul W. Kearney in the New York
Herald Tribune.
First of all, it is important to re-
member that dry ice is approximately
140 degrees colder than ordinary Ice
and can impart a vicious "burn" if
handled without adequate protection
for the bare fingers.
Secondly, it does not melt in the
accepted sense, but gives off a con-
siderable volume of gas at ordinary
temperatures. For this reason it
should never be confined in a tightly -
closed container, such as a glass bot-
tle or Mason jar because the contin-
ued gas pressure will explode the
container.
Ignorance of these basic faets has
resulted in a number of casualties
lately. Children, getting bits of dry
ice at ice-cream stores, have discov-
ered that it lends itself to tricks
that are exciting—but too often
tragic.
Put a small piece in a bottle with
some water, hold your linger over the
opening and shake well, and it will
squirt water all over the place. But in
Chicago a lad who held on to the
bottle a second too long lost three
fingers of his hand.
Put a small hunk in your mouth
and wait a second, and you can blow
off steam like a locomotive. But in
Montana another boy died from in-
juries incurred while doing the same
trick, and in California a kid who was
showing his friends how to "blow off
steam" spent ten agonizing days in.
the hospital witha frightfully burned
tongue.
Never, never try to chill drinking
water with it. No substance rating
109 degrees below zero should be
used for that purpose. For one thing.
excessively cold water is harmful as
a beverage; for another, floating par-
ticles may be swallowed with dirt
results.
Don't chew dry ice no matter how
hot you may be. Last summer a fool-
ish mother gave her infant a piece of
dry ice to suck on. The baby died.
