Travelling for the best part of. three -days in a thirty-one foot cab­ in motorboat and navigating the waters between Port Stanley and Grand Bend the latter part of last week has added to the sum total of the editor’s travelling experiences and It was by no means the least exciting or least enjoyable. On Friday morning, in company with Sandy Elliot and H. 0. Southcott and with Mac Loader, a fisherman, at the wheel, we pulled out of Pt. Stanley shortly after four o’clock after having provided a well-filled locker and made ample, provision for cool nights. We chugged along all day on Lake Erie and late in the afternoon pulled up at the Kingsville dock for the night. Once out in the lake, with land just vis­ ible in the distance, our engine stopped and after working with it for over half an hour we had vis­ ions of drifting aimlessly for hours, Oui’ next experience, after* a plea­ sant run, was grounding on a sand­ bar off Point Pelee. We were giv­ ing the point a wide berth, fearing there might be rocks or. shallow water but we hadn’t gone far enough out. With H. O. Southcott at the wheel the boat slipped quietly onto the bar. Sandy, who was sun­ ning himself on deck, slipped off his suit of underwear, jumped into the cool wafers and aided in getting the boat launched. While sailing the lake we noticed not millions, but billions of fish flies apparently dead upon the water. Large patches of water were covered ^hick with them. After ■docking at Kingsville we observed them flying inland. The street lights attracted them by the thou­ sands. The lights were covered with a red covering to try to keep them away, Some of the store win­ dows were covered. At the fops of some of the standards flies could be swept up by the shovelful. About nine o’clock in the evening we noticed them again going out over the lake and they went over our heads in a continuous cloud. Going up town, a distance of a couple of miles, we stepped into a drugstore to buy a paper. We hadn’t notided the name of the owner, and were surprised to find an Exeter old boy, Lyle Statham, and his wife, formerly Miss Jean Elder, of'Hen­ sail. They have a smart store, are putting in a new front this week and are doing a splendid business. We were mighty grateful when Lyle of­ fered to drive us back to the dock where he met the other two Exeter- ites.

MUbwn Co,, 144., ToWnW, Big ways, wake dock- we stopped at Amherstburg, called on John Marsh of the Amherstburg Echo, and he got in touch with a mechanic and it was noon before we were again on our way. The en­ gine trouble provided us with an op­ portunity we were wanting. The green paint on the top and deck had faded. We wanted to sail into Grand Bend with a fresh coat and we had provided accordingly. With a couple of paint brushes we start­ ed lustily to work and we finished the job before taking off and were quite pleased with ourselves. The only mishap was when Herb sat on the--cover of the paint can, ruined a pair of not-too-good trousers, also his underwear, and had to do a little scrubbing himself. The trip up the Detroit River was grand as was also the trip across Lake St. Clair and River St. Clair, The landscape was beautiful. The waters, especially Lake St. Clair and Rivei* St. Clair, were dotted with yachts and sailing vessels, steamers passed us going both Speedy yachts threw out a that would rock our boat. We ed at Sombra Saturday night and Rev. R. E. Southcott and family and several friends came down to give us the once-over. Leaving Sombra at five o’clock the next morning we had an exper­ ience that at the time seemed ser­ ious to us. It was necessary to turn off one of the valves that feeds the gasoline to the engine after having filled up the gas tanks. We had gone about a mile when the en­ gine began to sputter and die. The vacuum tank had been drained. We were drifting. A couple -of hundred yards behind us was one of those big lake steamers bearing straight down on us. Would our engine start in time or would the boat be able to altei’ her course to miss us? She was gradually creeping up when away went the engine and we were soon off the track. . Passing Windsor and Detroit was a great sight and so it was when passing Sarnia and Port Huron. One gets a real view of the Sarnia bridge and realizes something of the en­ gineering feat necessary Tor its erec­ tion. The current on the rivers is strong and the trip against the cur­ rent is .much slower than going with the current. The sixty-mile trip up Lake Huron was over a sheet of water with scarcely a ripple and we' docked the boat at Grand Bend about two o’clock. Here we were met by a number of friends, particu­ larly W. J. Beer, chief owner of the boat, who >has been appointed captain and whose health,., we hope, will be materially benefitted by this new investment. The junior partner had been on a visit to a distant branch office and was giving his father a full account, saying; “The manager there is apt to take too much on himself, I gave him plainly to understand he must get authority from here in­ stead of own.” “Yes,” I gather, him,” The telegram ran: “Office on fire, Please wire instructions.” acting too much on his said the senior dryly, “So Here’s a telegram from With the mercury hovering below the zero mark* it is difficult to pic­ ture yourself enjoying a dip in an outdoor swimming pool. However, out in Kootenay National Park, B»iC.,, is a pool that sees swimmers the year round, There, it is a case of “leave your clothes on a snow hank and 'dive right in the water,” Radium Hot Springs, famous for the curative value of its water, is situated in Sinclair Creek Valley, deep in the heart of the Rockies The road leading to the resort itself, is a mighty specimen of engineering. The highway has been hewn out of solid brick-red rock, and follows the winding, treacherous course of the Sinclair river as it tumbles down the canyon. Sheer rock walls rise almost perpendicularly on either side and the narrow gorge has be$n well named “The Iron Gates’’, A mile or so down the road are the Hot Springs, These minerail springs, among the hottest in the Rockies, have been known to exist since the earliest ex­ ploration of the region, and the Indians placed great faith in the curative, power of the waters, A- peculiar transparent greenish-blue, the water rushes from the rock at the amazing rate of 3.30 gallons every minute and has a temperature of over 114 degrees Fahrenheit. The swimming pool, Operated by the Dominion Government, is large and fully equipped, down to the last life-preserver, Tliese radio-tvotive springs are held in high regard Cor the treatment ot rheumatisip, nnd kindred ailments, and many visit­ ors are reputed to have been greatly benefited 'by them. Due to ‘the ex­ treme temperature of the water, people are advised not to remain in the pool for longer than 40 min- utes at a time. Permanent resi­ dents at Sinclair confine most of their swimming to the winter months. In addition to the pool, there are two -hotels and, a large camp ground with all modern conveniences for the accommodation of the thousands of toprists who visit the springs every year. The exhilarating moun­ tain air, the spectacular scenery and the remedial properties of the sulphur waters all combine to. make Radium Hot Springs one of the most popular spots in the Rockies, During the fiscal year en'ded Mar, ■31, more than 25,000 visitors made use ofy the bathing facilities at the springs, ■ \ .../ ......

SAMPLE COPY ON REQUEST At a business women’s club they we’re discussing the lack of educa­ tion among girls, Ope, the man­ ageress of a laundry, lamented the bad spelling so prevalent, “I received many letters,” she ex­ plained, “and I find two much-used words are usually misspelled.” “And what are they?” asked an­ other. “‘Preposterous’ and ‘exorbitant’,” replied the manageress. Then she wondered what were all laughing at. * * * ■ In a New Orleans court a was charged with abusing his and using loud and profane langu­ age, One of the witnesses was an old negro. “Did the defendant -use impro­ per language while he was beat­ ing his horses?” he was asked, “Well, suh, he talked mighty loud.” “Did he indulge in profanity?” The witness seemed puzzled, so the lawyer put the question in an­ other form. “What I mean, Uncle Sambo, is—did he use words that would be proper for a minister to use in a sermon?” “Oh yes, sah,” the old negro re­ plied with a grin, “but dey’d have to be ’ranged in different order.” NABOB FIAVOUR/NG NABOB FLAVOURING THE NEW COOKING SENSATION! ?E MCHM } ^ure Navora.
