Plenty of good fishing; then available in the Republic, combined with meagre knowledge of Canadian resources, public Jaws and methods of transport, rendered a ."trip to Can- ada" an exceptional undertaking. an - adieu National Railways records of recent years present a contrast not only in the happy invasion of tens of thousands where hundreds came before, but in the wide familiarity � with Canadian geography and the sporting resources that each section is peculiarly fitted to furnish, This, of course, is the eonsequence of more diffused education on the subject of angling, and a new appreciation.of the i fact that Canada, with its unoccupied spaces, its limitless wealth of forest and stream; richly endowed and as richly maintained, puts claims upon the fishing aspirant, which the older i regions of the south cannt hope to: rival. • In an effort to induce sportsmen to visit Canadian fishing localities the Canadian National Railways have published and given wide distribution, particularly : in the United States, to a booklet describing the better fishing locations. Motion picture films, de- picting fishing in' different pants of Canada are also circulated ,widely, tending to create interest in Canada's angling possibilities Whether it be salmon or trout, pass or maskindnge.

Immigration Laws 60 Years Ago Ontario Couple Who Have Just Celebrated Diamond Jubilee Tell of Trip Across Border Sixty years ago, when Alfred Fred Watson and his bride os cue year toot a honeymoon trip from Meaford Ont. to Virgina, there was no call for a check-up with immigration laws or commuters' regulations in'getting ac- ross the border at Niagara Falls. It took three weeks tc reach Vir- ginia, however, and that was ,. i'1y good going, with their transpdr ation facilities. hey travelled by covered wagon, ands team of horses. If; was real adventure. Mr. and' Mrs. Watson recently cel- ebrated their diamond wedding anni- versary and thein,stories of the •trip were a revelation to some of the "youngsters" present, The happy young couple of 1875 --now enjoying life on the shores of Georgian Bay— pitched their tent when they felt like it and cooked their meals .as • they went along. They were mostly "dirt" roads in those days but no automo- biles to give them the dust,Even the bicycles were scarce --just 'the • old- fashioned high -wheeled kind, if any, The Canadian couple spent some time in Virginia and returned as . theyf went—without a mishap:, A•;, ,.1 Mr. Watson was born in the town- ship of Portland;, neer',Tiingston, Ont., in '1847, Now in his 88th year he is taking more interest -in life than he ever did. 'Yes, I go up sewn every day," he remarked, "occasionally meet up with old friends from the country and talk over old times.» .There's still plenty of kick in life after'a mart passes Ms 80th birthday, he says. Mrs. Watson was born near Mea - ford, in May 1851. She too has good health and continues her daily house. work. They were married Feb. 18, 1873 in the Meaford Methodist Church. • About 1876 they took ,up farming in the township and later Mr..Wat- son engaged as a thresher for twen- ty years.

Childrens bureau statistics show that whereas mothers used to have plenty of cause to worry about get- ting infants through their first sum- mer, the winter has now become the gravest cause for concern. Back in 1921, gastro-intestinal diseases, which mothers called "sum- mer complaint," accounted for 15 deaths per 1,000 live births. Most of these were caused by bad milk, bad water and flies contaminating food. By 1930 the gastro-intestinal death rate slumped to eight per 1,000. This trend is continuing. The respiratory diseases—the win- ter grist of coughs, colds and pneu- monia — remained practically un- changed, 10 deaths per 1,000 live births in 1921; 11 deaths per 1,000 in 1930. Miss Katherine F. Lenroot, acting chief of the Childrens• bureau, said vigilance should not be relaxed, sum- mer' or winter. "Because the general peak has gone down does not mean that there are no longer summer peaks of dis- ease in certain neighborhoods," she said.

According to an ad- vance report of the fisheries of the Province of Quebec the amount of capital invested in that industry dur- ing•1933 was •.$2,839;351,-ar gain of $14,- 351 and 1932. Vessels, boats, nets, traps, piers and wharves, etc used in the primary 'operations •it catching and landing the fish represented $2,- 380,003 of the capita) investment, and fish canning and curing 'stablisb- ments, $459,283, - The total value of Quebec's fish- eries in 1933 amounted to $2,128,471, an increase over the preceding year of $312,927 or 17 pet cent. This total represents the value of fish as mar- keted, whether sold • for consumption fresh, or canned, cured and otherwise prepared, and covers the sea fisheries valued at $1,601,470 and the inland fisheries valued at $527,001 Cod fish valued. at $863,913 was the most im- portant catch. Other important kinds were lobsters, $217,476; herring, $207,- 415; salmon, $154,159; and eels, $13'1,- 440. The, tytal g1:autity of all kinds of fish caught during the year was 933,361 cwt.; an increase of 15,642 cwt. over the catch in 1932. JAPAN MAKING GREA' ER USE OF TYPEWRITER In Japan there has' been a radical change in the handling of corres- pondence by government offices and larger business houses. Previously letters were written by hand but a typewriter has been produced with Japanese characters and it is now being adopted in government offices and the, more substantial. business houses. The machine is more cum- bersome than that used in Canada due to the greater number of char- acters required by the Japanese language. This increased use of the typewriter in Japan has brought about a great demand for carbon paper. The higher grades of carbon paper are supplied by Great Britain and _Canada, while the .cheaper grad- es come from Austria, the United States and Germany.

She went back to the circus after fifteen years of what she contemptuously calls :"soft liv= ing" and chid difficult back somer- saults in the middle ring at Madison Square Garden, setting a comeback record that has yet to be equalled. Moreover, she's still settng records— and, she looks younger : than ever, though she must be seventy if she's a day. • When she had proved her point, and the desire to give . her 1itltle. adopted daughter a settled home had caused her to leave the ring, this: time for good, she started giving riding lessons. From that, she went on to open a dancing class which has in turn developed into the most ,famous posture school in the country, patronized chiefly by rich debutantes and society women who know they must carry themselves well to: look well. The diminutive Mrs, Robinson's latest pioneer adventure is: in, a, School of Fashion where she teaches correct posture to students who later will become fashion artists, stylists, buyers, style consultants and advis- ers. Wearing Clothes Well "They need to know about correct posture not only for themselves, but also for guidance in drawing fashion figures and in supervising the train- ing of models whose movements must be rhythmical and effective," explained Ethel Traphagen, head of the school and originator of the idea. "Yes," agreed' Mrs. Robinson, de- monstrating her point by aiming an accurate and extremely graceful kick at the light fixture, "the thing that ruins many expensive and beautiful costumes worn by women today is the way the women carry them- selves. They may have their hair just right. Their faces may be done in the latest modes as far as mas- sage and make-up go, but the clothes become mere rags unless they are worn well. And it takes good pos- ture to carry them off." Comfortingly Mrs. Robinson says that it doesn't matter much whether. you are thin or fat,. provided you know how to stand :and walk and sit. "See this," she admonished, slip- ping off her rather tiny pumps and. walking nd- walking around the room on her heels. "Women begin to age first in the ankles and being to show it around the abdomen. Never was there a time when they needed pos- ture more, for the modern fashions, especially for the beach, are most revealing. •'Never Be Tired." "What I really teach, though, • is how never • to be tired. Anybody who studies math me learns how to wind up the body in the morning and keep it that Way all day. I don't know the meaning of the word tired my- self, and•never did except for those 15 years when I 'went society.' Then was tired all right -tired mainly of waiting around for maids to do this and that for me." • This time when she "married rich and livedo on Long Island" she nearly "lost her body", Mts. Robinson de- clares. That is, she did none of the exercises, that had kept her supple all her life, and when she began to train again she could barely lift her leg as high as her waist. Now she can lift it as high as hen head and higher, can bend and stretch any part of her body. Her flesh is as Arm and supple as that of a 16 -year- old girl. • Her figure is perfect and she 'weighs between 98 and a 100 pounds, never more. That's just right for her "five feet and a sug- gestion," which according to her is her height. "Oli, yes, I have plenty of years but I won't tell you how many," she parrred merrly, rocking agilely on her heels. "You're as young as you act, anyway, and so how can you say I'm really old?" Certainly it is difficult to say about one whose blue gray eyes are so clear, whose face is 'so unlined and whose 'smile and mental outlook are so youthful. "What matters in life is t� stick to' a thing' and do a good' job of it, whatever it is," she said firmly. "1 came of a circus family. My father's people were mountebanks• and we may have lacked • some kinds • of 'training but we certainly were taught• that character and integrity counted above all else. Money? Bah, that was nothing." Among the exercises that Mrs. Robinson gives to hertalented stu- dents are a spine balancing stunt, a .stretching regimen and the ' heel and toe walking.' For these- last two you must get way up. on heel or toe. It's hard but she .can do it and 'so, she, says, can anybody who will .practice. ' Doubling Yourself in Half For the spine balancing, sit on the $oor'and draw your knees up close to the body; then ' slowly stretch the legs upward with the toes pointing skyward. Ypu'1l find yourself tilting and finally falling backward, but by concentration you can double yourselfin half„ find balance and exentually complete this strenuous exercise successfully. ""I find," says Mrs. Robinson, "that the simplest of .all beneficial stretching can be . done with the aid of a pole. . Stand flat against it, feet firmly on the floor, with the heels, calves and shoulders, touch- ing the pole. The arms reaching overhead to the top of the pole pull the entire body to a full length — flattening the stomach, raising the chest and actually stretching the spine so that •,round shoulders soon disappear. Anclit's so easywhen done correctly." w If you're middle-aged, don't do any of these energetic "stunts" un- til you have consulted your doctor, and in any case, don't go at them too strenuously. Hearts are some- times rather weak after years of what Mrs. Robinson calls "soft liv- ing." Unimportant Things Others are exactly the opposite.
