She is stili hale and hearty despite ber eighty years. We enjoyed a water taxi ride te Catalina Island which is iocated 25 miles from the main- land ef California. On the re- turn voyage the ocean became rough and many passengers suf- f ered from sea-sickness. We did net forget te cail on Mr. and Mrs. W. P. Lett, formerly of Carp, Ont., but who now possess a ioveiy home in the environs of Les Angeles. We aise visited Mr. and Mrs. D. Luddy at their cosy home near San Francisco. They took us down te Chinatown lin Frisco where we were dazzled by quaint orientai community customs. This strictly Obinese community censists cf twelve square block's and bas a popula- tion ef 15,000. It was destroyed by the earthquake uf 1906 but xvas rebuilt at a cost cf several millions. And of course, we crossed the border te be back on our native soil, theugh at the far west part of it . The beauties of the Rocky Mountains fascinated us. We 1ev- ed and.admired Lake Louise and Banff. One ef the narrew, winding roads up the Rockies near Osoyoos rilly ave us a bad scare. We mcight.-hav e teppled over from the top into the yawning chasm be- low had we net been extra care- fui. Meeting Old Frlends H We greeted Mr. Rebert Mathi- son, one cf the survlving sons cf aur beloved fermer Belleville school supeintendent. The octo- genarian Bob is stillimn dentistry practice at Kelowna, B.C., and* is the town's leading civic worker. We walked into the ancient shoe and harness repairing, store et Noah Labelle at Fert Qu'Ap- pelle, Sask. They are doing just as fine as they had always been ever since they put up their busi- ness shingle ever 35 years ago. We metored up to Foam Lake, Sask., te catch the Barnett bro- thers by surprise-Elmer, Gera.ld and Horace. They continue te be successful farmers. We did net fail te heed the cal of Izaak Walton and bad excellent pickerel fishin~g up in Kamsack, Sask. We alse called on Mr. and Mrs. Blake Balson at Wapella, Sask., who are formerly cf Hampton, Ont. We had a grand reunion talking over aid times back in the "Homeland ef Durham." After some disagreeable exper- ienceý on pôor highways of the West we finally arrived at Winni- peg where Mrs. A. L. Cook prov- ed such a cbarming bostess. She sbewed us around 'the great met-' ropolis of the west. Mrs. Cook bas been for the past two years on the faculty o? the Western Penn- sylvania School for the Deaf, switcbing over there when the Winnipeg School was taken over by the R.C.A.F. for duration 9çf the war. The school is new trans- fermed into a Normal School but the Manitoba government intends to build a smaller residential scboel fer the deaf ini a year or two. Fed Up wîtb tbe nasty travelling conditions ef Canadian bigbways we retraced our way across the border and bnce more found our- selves in Chicago wbere we paid a ceurtesy caîl on Bro. Arthur L. Roberts, president cf the N.F.S.D. He conducted us through the Home Office. We came back home tired but1 happy, leaded te the bult with1 lingering memories of grand plac- es we bad visited and cf happy1 encounters with old friends we1 had net seen for years.

Just then a board on the bouse split with the frost. You bet we jumped, would- n't you? Funeral services were beid for the late William Delahay, on F'ebruary 10. He was buried in McCrea's Cemetery. Mrs. Jim Cruickshank. Toronto, was a visiter te our village. She reports that her three chidren are weli, as are her two sisters, Mrs. McDonald and Mrs. Thompson. We teid the landlady that "mon- ey talks," but she said, "it dees- n't stay areund long enough these days to start a conversation." New that St. Valentine's Day is gone, bachelors can breathe eas- ier. We beard of one girl in the States that proposed to ber beau two minutes after midnight on New Year's Day and was accept- ed.

Their married. name is Chancey. After tbree months of soiid win- ter, we actually had a bit of a freezing rain storm. One ef the littie girls visiting at Ed. Caiahan's developed a sort cf dipbtheric throat and died very suddenly. One of the Crotean boys had to go into Toronto General Hospital for treatment, he will be there for some time. Any cf yeu folks that don't read the B.H.S. news in The Statesman bad better start, be- cause Gregory Friend is doing a terrifie job as èditor. Even if you don't know any of the peo- pie mentioned, you wiIl admire the way the news is arranged. We doubt if any weekly paper anywhere in Canada has a finer corps cf volunteer editors than The Statesman. The various col- umns are well written, newsy and interesting. We suppose the hick writers should give a little credit (very grudgingly) te the people that make up the paper for pub- lication. Because, after ail, it is they who correct our many mis- takes, debate the stuff the public doesn't want and arrange what is left into a readable column. Unemployment is raising is ug- ly head ail across our country. Around here it is the opposite. As soon as the C.P.R. had its sncw shovelied, it laid the men off.

This is why more than six hundred Canadian coînpanies arc making useful and beautiful things of this versatile metal. Aluminum products range ail the way from' artificial limbs to railway cars, from muzzIes for lobster's claws to bridges, from toys to aircraft. Aluminum is versatile because it is so light, s0 durable and so economical. ALUMIN-UM COM'PANY 0F CANADA, LTD, y-~ Producers and Processors cf Alumninum for Canadian Industry and World Mar4ctl.
