Marsh in Bowmanville J. .Lake Morden, Well] Known Manufacturer, Has Asked Provincial Secre- tary for Information and Receives Favorable Reply (By Staff Reporter) Bomanville, April 26.--], Lake Morden, well-known manufacturer of Bowmanville, for the past 20 years, recently communicated with Honor- able Lincoln Goldie, Provincial Sec- retary, in regard to establishing a fish and game reserve from the marsh, at the Lake south of here to the lake situated on the property of George Stephens, He received a fa- vorable reply, and if action in the matter is taken in the near future, as is expected, this locality will have one of the best game reserves in Canada. For a great many years and par- ticularly the last few, Mr. Morden has interested himself with making conditions for the betterment of the community more suitable. Recently he has firmly established a splendid tourist camp on the Kingston Road east of here, with a fine zoo, won. derful tourist accommodations and a service station. The grounds are ex- tensive and every facility for accom« modation of travellers by cars is of« fered.

Th. first sound, explained Mr, Morden, was his pet bird, the second, the call of its mate, The two gees are raising a brood on the opposite side of the pond from the house. At their beneiactor's voice, they hurry back, and receive the feed which is strewn on the shore of closely clip- ped grass, Although the flock of Canadian geese 1n the centre of the lake was practically invisible to ws, Mr, Mor- den noticed them, closely bunched together, where they stay until the break of day. It was a marvellous sight, and ARM of summer and camping on the shores of some un- populated region at once were brought back with a pleasant mem- ory. : While on our way to the mill, where the manufacturing of the bu- siness is done, Mr, Morden's dogs, one a wire-haired terrier, and some- what shy, and the other a huge half- wolf, hali-dog animal, approached us. The latter was quite atfectionate al- though of such a size to make us shrink back at sight of him, We were made acquainted with him, however, and from then on he was our friend, When we returged from our trip around the place, We were introduced to a little Pomeranian dog, which was one of the prides of Mr. Morden, Sc much has been described about the matchless surroundings of the little farm, that nothing has bem said about our host, Closely re- scmbling a stately "southern" colonel with a charming goatee and long moustache, Mr. Morden, or "Colonel Morden as he is wont to be called by all who know him, is one of the most interesting conyersationalists, His knowledge of wild animal and bird life is a revelation, and one might sit and listen to him by the hour and gain considerable in the way of bird habits. He has a fond- ness for all animals, tame or wild, harbors birds by the hundreds at his own expence on his farm and de- lights in the collection of zoological specimens for' his zoo at the camp. He has a fondness for a particular parrot which he keeps at his home, and which he has trained to talk in quite a flowing language. One hum- orous incident occurred when he told how the bird will begin fo seed iy an angry tone the minute its owne i ner cat his breakfast. Evident- ly it thinks it should cat first, From the lake we were taken to the canal, which on account of the operation of the mill-wheel is kept from freezing during the winter months. © Beside this canal are situ- ated the houses which are continu- ally open for the ducks and geese. One interesting and yet out-of-the- ordinary fact was the mating of a common goose to a snow goose oi the Arctic Regions. The two had formed a nest and a large number of eggs were being hatched by the fe- male. Other varieties of duck and goose were shown to us, the whole num- ber being more than 25 domestic I REGULAR V, eaturing a number of as well as misses' sizes.

DEWLAND Limited DODDS KIDNEY birds and a considerable number of wild fowl, : A chance remark caused Mr. Mor- den to state that damage to the exs tent of more than $9,000 had been done to the contents of the mill dur- ing the recent Spring floods. He said that never before had the ice and water risen so high that it had over- flowed the breakwater and dam, and flooded the basement of the mill, This latter place is of stone, and at the time of the flood contained a gro.t many bags of pot and pearl barley, The water had the effect of making the Barley into a solid lump within the bags, which rendered the extraction for manufacturing pur- pases practically impossible, These ags were all but given away to far- mers who would come for them and who would be able to take the con- tents out with time. Mr, Morden is at present guarding against. future possibilities of the same drastic occurrence. He has laced more earth on the top of the breakwater barricade and strength- ened the supports of the mill, which in itself is of large dimensions, BOWMANVILLE EX-WAR VETERAN TO TESTIFY AT CURRIE ACTION (By Staff Reporter) \ Bowmanville, April 26. -- J.

(Continued next week) HOW BIG BERTHA CANE INTO BEING Accidental Discovery Led to Use of Great Gun Parle, April 26.--Ten years ago the ftrst shell from Big Bertha fell on Paris. Much mystery existed about this gun, and quite on the subject purporting to come from a lecture delivered in Innsbruck hy an Austrian officer, who mray have been Colonel Fritz Held!l, the sub- director of instruction of Austrian artillery. The original idea of Big Bertha came from a naval gun. In 191% the Germans, wishing to make use of the heavy nayal guns in their arsenals, for which no use could be found at sea owing to the tnconve- nient proximity of the British navy, thought of bombarding ' Dunkirk and neighboring towns at long range with 380m. ships' guns carry ing a specially light shell so as to increase the range. While the 380s were being tried near Cuxhaven for the purpose it was found that these light shells went much . farther than was ex- pected. The range actually attain. ed was 65 kilometres. From this surprise was born Big Bertha and the idea of bombarding Paris. The Krupp ballistic experts attri- buted the great range attained to the fact that the shell fired at a very high angle penetrated Into a superior, much lighter, and conse- quently far less resisting layer of alr. They then took a similar 380mm. gun and fitted it with an internal tube of 210mm. The gun had 2 barrel of 17-13 nretres, but the tube was 30 metres beyond the muzzle of the gun itself. This had the double advantage of giving a gun with peculiarly high initial velocity and of using material which existed, since not only was the gun ready to hand, but its carriage and complete work- ing apparatus as well. The gun was fired at an angle of 66 de- grees so as to enable the shell to traverse the layer of air with the greatest rapidity possible and to en. ter less resisting layers at an angle of 45 degrees, which in such condi- tions is believed to give the great- est range. NO BEER BY GLASS FOR NEW BRUNSWICK ------ St. John, N.B., April 26--""There will absolutely be no beer sold by the glass in St. John, even in the proposed new stores," said R. C. Fulton, Chairman of the New Brunswick Liquor Control Board, who was in St. John today en route to Moncton on a trip of B. "The same," he added, "applies to light wines." Mr. Fulton said that here was little doubt that two new stores would be established in St. John, probably quite soon. These stores e contemplated as & benefit to laboring class, but it would be Mpopsibie tor 2 man to go into a e , after purchasing a bottle of wine or beer, drink it in place. The only advantage to working man, said the Chair- , Was that the new stores would re open later than the present Con- ol Board store. LOBSTER FISHERMAN Antigonish, N.S., April 26.< Hugh A.
