Bluenose Has 10 Years Left
St. John, N. B.—"She's got at least
10 years of racing ahead of her,"
Captain Angus J. Walters of Lunen -
burg, N. S., said today, referring to
his 11 -year-old schooner Bluenose
champion racing fisherman of the
Atlantic..
The list sustained by the Bluenose
on a reef off Newfoundland two
years ago would be abolished this
year, said the skipper. "We're going
to run her up on the slip and adjust
part of her hull and then place new
spars in her."
The Bluenose would not be sent to
the Grand Banks this year because
there was no demand for fish, said
Captain Walters. The racer has been
lying tout Lunenburg with 40 other
fishermen.
Regarding future activities of the
Bluenose, Captain Walters said she
would be seen at the Canadian Nat-
ional Exhibition in Toronto next
year., following which she would pro-
bably race her rival, Gertrude L.
Thebaud, Gloucester, Mass., ' for the
fishermen's trophy.
Predicts a Serum'to Cure Paralysis
Conquest of yellow fever by serum
gives hope for the discovery of a
preventive for infantile paralysis in
the near future, Dr. Neil E. McKin-
non, assistant professor of epidemi-
ology and hygiene, University of. To-
ronto, told the Rotary Club luncheon
in the Royal York Hotel.
Infantile paralysis is .responsible
fc,r 25 to 30 per cent. of crippling in
Ontario children, Dr. McKinnon
pointed out. Convalescence serum
has accomplished a great deal, but
the _prime necessity is a preventive
serum. Research is steadily going on
in this field, and it is too fantastic to
hope a discovery would be made be -
flare many years, he said.
The explorer was describing one of
his narrow escapes to a crowd of
people.
"I grabbed hold of the lion's neck,
rolled over and over, and—"
Voice: "Fell out of bed."
