A young backwoods grocer went out to inspect his rat -trap in the backyard and found it empty. Then he knew he had to do something about it, and fast. The decimated rat populations were vanishing ... and Tommy Lamb had relied on those rat - skins as a useful addition to his income. For the rats were muskrats. Years . of trapping throughout the Canadian North had practi- cally wiped out these water - wise, beaver -like creatures. In- stead of shipping out 850,000 skins, trappers and hunters were getting fewer than 40,000. Tom Lamb worked out that the essential trouble wasn't trap- ping but drought. The water in the Manitoba marshes froze solid to the bottom in winter. The rats couldn't get out of their houses to forage for food under the ice and starved to death. Lamb, modern Pied Piper in reverse, worked out a huge irri- gation scheme to raise the water levels to give the muskrats room to live and sent it to the Govern- ment. For two years the civil servants considered him a crazy crank. And yet that's how Tom Lamb, a boy who never went to school, first grasped at a fortune. To -day, entering his fifties, he's just joined the dollar millionaire class . and he says the first twenty-five years were the easi- est. Twenty-five years ago he was helping build shacks for a Hud- son Bay concern — and earn- ing the average builder's pay of about $20 per week. Then it seemed to him that the men in the money were not the boys at the end of a saw but the woods- man who supplied the timber. Lamb went into the bush and began cutting wood. Yet he found that to earn $1 he had to cut three cords — a log -pile roughly twice as high as a motor- car. It was tough going, but Lamb emerged that year with $1,000... and used it as down - payment to buy a grocery store and trading post at Moose Lake It took him two more years to 'pay off a remainding $2,000, sell- ing off wood, fur, everything !French Marshal Visits Korea—Marshal Alphonse Juin of France smiles as he is greeted by 8th Army Commander Lt.

Then came liis.:: muskrat idea . and infuriate ing delay until he at length went to the Premier of Manitoba him- self i n -self and asked permission to ir- rigate. "Go ahead, you darned fool," he was told. So Tom mortgaged the scare tc?a� raise funds, built dams and difche . es, risked heavy debts . . and changed the face of 50,000' acres. The rat population rocketed. Tom used to skate around his ranch,. counting the muskrat houses, transferring a. rifle shell from his left pocket to his right for every ten nests he passed. Soon he had to carry a small hand -checking machine. The nests increased from barely forty to over 5,000. °f'o-day Lamb in- spects his muskrat farm by 'plane. Employees check the nests. Only three rats are' trapped from each home every season to con- serve the numbers. But musk- rats merely toughened Tom Lamb's bankroll with the essen- tial firm foundation. In the win- ter, when the marshes froze, he fished, trawling through ice - chiselled paths across the lakes. Getting the fish through the blizzards to the railway was tough, too. Truck axles froze and snapped at subzero. Lamb tied up with a bush pilot and sud- denly saw the new marketing vistas opened up by the .sir. Fish could be flown out of the frozen north. Every lake was a poten- tial goldmine! It was 1935 before Tom Lamb learned to fly and started his fish -haul with his own aircraft. As he spread operations, he found. that he had to teach the Indians how to fish. Some of them had never seen a steel ice -chisel or a jigger -- an under -ice trawl. Around Moose Lake, most In- dians were content if they earn- ed $75 a year. At Tom's thirty- four fishcamps to -day pay runs $25 a week plus board. He has pushed his flying fish empire into the distant North-west Territor- ies, and expanded a handful of freight 'planes into a bush air- line that claims there hasn't been a fatality or serious injury in seventeen years. Once, Tom himself headed res- cue operations when a freight: 'plane crashed . . and then tramped back to his own 'plane moored to the rocks on a dock - less lake twenty-five miles away.

A Han 7 From every part of the globe into which explorers peneratecl last century came . stories of voodoo, black magic, spells, and men turning into beasts. Primitive minds, people said. They will grow out of it as they become civilised, Then, out of the blue cause a story from a highly respected missionary, a cultured and educated clergy • mala. He is the Rev. Arthur Turn- bull, For over fifty years he has been a missionary in Haiti, an Island in the West Indies. Mr. Turnbull was very friendly' with a certain general in the Haiti Republican Army. One day, while contacting an outlying patrol, the general dis- covered a native, who later turn- ed out to be a voodoo priest, on forbidden ground, and ordered him to be thrown out. As a result the voodoo priest cursed him publicly, vowing that within ten days he would be dead. Mr, Turnbull actually wit- nessed this incident. Nine days latex the missionary had reason to call at the general's home and found him dying. Later the same day he died. A doctor was in attendance, and there was no doubt but that the general was really dead and not in any trance. The following day Mr. Turnbull read the funeral service and the general was buried. The next clay the earth had been removed f r o m the grave and it was empty. Four days later a patrol of soldiers were marching along a 'jungle path when they surprised a party of men. The latter turned tail and ran into the forest, leav- ing a captive behind them. The soldiers nervously brought this captive back to camp. They were nervous because, they declared, he was so obviously a zombie. He was listless; his eyes • were dull and lifeless; he obeyed orders like an automaton; and he never spoke. Back from the Dead Mr. Turnbull was staying at Jacmel and the soldiers brought the captive straight to him. He could see their obvious fear of the man was because they re- cognized him. Mr. Turnbull and his wife also recognized him at once. FIe was the general who had been buried four days earlier. Juba Kennerley, the famous African explorer, once had an ex- perience which s:u g g e s t s, that voodooin other countries besides Haiti is often beyond our com- prehension. The Beira railway was being built through Portuguese East Africa, and the native workmen had been frightened throughout its construction by • the unprece- dented number of • successful lion attacks. The railway, said the authorities, was costing sixteen lives per mile to build ! HARD -TO -SHAKE BUCKLEY S MIXTURE IT HAS WHAT IT TAKES M MOVE THEM FAST Never. Seen Again, When Kennerley visited . the camp he was told of the huge, black -maned lion which seemed impervious to spears or. bullets: The lion only appeared at night time. The natives were sure it was controlled by the soul of a man. They looked fearfully at a huge Zulu who was • almost seven feet tall and lead the reputation of being able to change into a lion at will. One evening the little engine which ran up and down from Beira to the end of the track with supplies, was travelling at a good speed towards the camp because it was nearly nightfall and the engine -driver wanted to reach camp while it was still lgiht. Suddenly the engine hit some- thing so hard that it was almost derailed. Jumping down, the driver saw the carcass of a huge lion, black maned, lying across the rails. It was Kennerley who, called to the scene, saw a striped garment hanging from one of the lamps. It was the garment always worn by the giant Zulu, who was never seen again.
