Mr, Hendry, who has been i11 for the past three weeks, was on Pelee Island for 3 Years and disclosed some interesting facts about it. The island, *Melt is 16 miles from the mainland, the most sowtherly pent of Canada, would be entirely under water if it were not for the dykes and 4 large sestdonary engines, each worth about $15(000.00, which keep the water ,from inundating the island. Because of these the taxes are high, 3200 to 5300 for 50' acres. The land is very fertile and is a most productive farming area. The main crops are tobacco and corn. Thane is a nopulaal.= between 600 and 700. While the people are prosperous, everyone owning a car, and no one on relief, they are in- clined to be backward. There is no hydro and no waved roads, but the roads are good. The telephone service is very uncertain during the winter. The 'Post' with its readers extend a welcome to Mr. and Mrs. Hendry and family.
