The recorded actualities, which will be released to the national network ing of the tourist season in the Mari- times, are being produced by the special events department of the OBC. R. T. (Bob) Bowman, director of special events, is travelling with the mobile unit and will do moat of the commentaries. Arrangements for a salmon fishing broadcast from one of New Bruns- wick's world -famed streams are also being contaminated. Among subjects which Mr. Bow- man hopes to record in Prince Ed- ward Island for next "Summer Over the Maritimes" series is the story of the famed oystef beds of Malpeque; a description of the romantic locale of "Anne of Green Gables" and the tale of Bell River, the Island's 'UtoP- ean settlement which knew no de- pression during the "bad years" be- cause of its unique family compact co-operative system. In Nova Scotia he will describe the lobster flsberies of Pictou and will make recordings of Scottish music and highland .dances in Cape Breton. A word -picture of a sword fishing ex- pedition and an interview with the captain of one of the few remaining four -masted schooners in Maritime waters have also been proposed, Other interesting and typical scenes will be put down for produc- tion as the mobile unit progresses on its tour through country, town and city.

Con- sidering the seriousness of the accid- ent and the, large number of workers it was indeed fortunate that none of the workers were injured although two persons came within a hair's breadth of losing their hives. , Mr. Chas. Waghorn was on top of the stack in charge of the pipe through which the pea straw is blown. When the stack started to crumble Mr. Wag - horn jumped to one side and a portion of tee track grazed his shoulder. The track settled on the straw and a por- tion of the stack gave way. Mr. Wag - horn was carried away with it and slid along the top of the straw to safety. He was given medical atten- tion but was able to resume work im- mediately after. He narrowly escaped being pinnedbeneath the wreckage or on the other hand of being buried beneath the straw. In falling the track broke a hydro eine and the hy- dro workmen were immediately call- ed to disconnect the power 'Mee and warning was issued to the workers. The wire however shortcircuited the steel track and iron kettles that con- vey the canned peas to and from the cookers. In touching one of the ket- tles Bobby Burns, aged 16, received a shock of 550 volts that knocked him back against the wall. Bobby can con- gratulate himself that he suffered. no serious injury. -•--Exeter Times :Advn- eate. Died In Paisley-.

Eugenia's Abandoned Tunnel- Did you find out the facts about that abandoned tunnel at Eugenia Falls that we were talking about last week? if you didn't, Mr. John Ber- wick, of Shelburne, has the basic facts of the story. It should make an interesting tale if one could get all the particulars, for it was construct- ed by a syndicate of Owen Sound business men who were .planning to. construct an electric plant at the Falls and supply the city of Owen Sound, A dam was to have been built below the present hydro structure, and the tunnel was put through the hill for the purpose of carrying the flume through and down into the val- ley, where the power house was to be located. The flume, of Bourse, was to have had plenty cf room in the tun- nel, so that repairs could be made with no difficulty. The" tunnel was constructed according to plan, but something happened. and that was as far as the project went. Years later, after the H.E.P.C. got control, the tunnel was blocked up, as there was danger of cave-ins, visitors be- ing fond of walking the length of the abandoned working -Shelburne Economist.

His widow survives with two sons. it said, in part: Most of the dogs used by the R.C. M. Police are German Shepherds. Latterly three other breeds) the Rath• weilier, the Reisenchnauser and the Dobermann Pinscher also have been introduced. Their value to the Force has been proved over and over again, and many are the thrilling stories of what their sagacity and intelligence have been able to accomplish. Dogs on police work graduate from school, of which the R.C.M. Police have two; one at Ottawa and the other at Regina. Eaeli school has its master trainer who trains each dog in obedience, loyalty to its master, and in tracking the scent of humans. When the trainer is satisfied as to the progress of the dog one of the con- stables of the Force is selected as las permanent master. The constable must also undergo a period of train- ing and cogehing until be becomes Proficient in handling bis dog. It is part of this training to teach the dog to refuse to answer the command of any other person, to refuse to accept the most tempting food from another, or even to eat at all unless told by its master. The latter is a safe -guard against poisoning. In tracking men, women or children, they are trained to hold the person without violence or bodily hurt. One of the principal features of the training course is directed towards searching for lost articles. It often happens that a person or the per- petrator of an offense may have drop- ped some 'little thing. This may escape the eye of an officer but never would it escape the nose of a keen dog. Even a button may lead to the finding of a child or be the means of identifying a criminal, 1n a cease reported to the depart- ment from Manitoba, officers had been informed that a certain farmer was engaged in illicitly distilling spirits. SeveraI officers were detailed to investigate, one of whom was ac- companied by the dog snider Ins care. On arrival at the farm, dog and nuts - ter stayed at the end of a trail lead. ing to the house while a second offic- er went. an. The farmer was not at home at the time but his wife volun- teered to find hint and bring him back, but when she saw she would be fol- lowed she returned to the house. Shortly afterwards, the husband made his appearance and while being interrogated a scream was heard from the bush. The woman had man- aged to slip out of the house but bad been stopped at the hidden still by the dog and its master. Before being stopped, however, she bad managed to warn a third party who had been working at the still and he had made gond his escape. Later in the day, one cif tite officers canoe upon a man tramping along the road carrying his boots and socks in his hand. There was nothing to show that he was the wanted person but such an unusual node of travel as bare feet on a rougb road warranted further investigation. The dog was called in again and giv- en one of the boots to smell. Dnerr- ingly he returned to the location of the stili, nosed round and finally picked up in his mouth a thermo- meter in a cardboard box. Bringing this to his master he then went over to a ladder and a plank but these were too heavy for him to lift. All three articles it was shown had been handled by the owner of the, boot who atfirst denied having operated the still but who later in court plead- ed guilty to a charge under the ex- cise act. .4. constable is the "permanent" piaster of the dog under his charge which means that the animal obeys him only, and only does what his master directs. Those who have seen a dog do his master's bidding clans his intelligence is uncanny.
