Bishop once re:clved there were two things he would never do, 'fly the Atlantic Ocean and swim the English Channel The Empire's ace of aces in the first Great War broke the fivst resolution a few weeks ago Of the second, he said jn an nddress here last night: "The other adventure 1 leave Lo Hitler with all the curses of my Irish apcestors." He spoke at what almost was a reunion with his flying pals of 'he last r, a dinner, given under the ausnices of the Canadian Societies of w York and the American Club.

The Queen operates regularly between Fort Smith and Aklavik. Connec- tion is made at Fort Norman with | other Radium line boats for Grea: Bear lake ports via the Bear river, "Tourists are just beginning to Souvenir of Graduation oF discover the country 'down north'," | LaBine said. "We receive inquiries | from as far away as Southern Cali- fornia.

These vessels are electrically welded steel tugs, the Radium King having two 4230 horse- power Diesel engines and the Ra- | dium Queen, two 160s. The Radium | King has a length of 96 feet and a | beam of 20 feet and draws four feet | three inches of water.

Chares W Ker- wood, a veteran of the Lafayette Escadrille. To these veterans of war in the air Air Marshal Bishop told some- thing of the exploits of 'the men who are fighting your battle and mine--night by night -- through cloud and storm, hundreds and hundreds of miles far into skies torn by blasting shells." Britain's nilots of 1940 are "superb" he said. "On the coasts of Fiance Bel- 7oum, Holland, Denmark and Nor- way dally and nightly tiey hammer the enemy. By a navigation svstem is an education itself. these | men--boye in years some of them 'conditions but men just the ,ame--fly far into Germany and as far as Poland to their exact objective. "Then, finding what weather they may, sometimes spending an hour or more over & spot, they carefully select their tar- get. We do not do any :ndiscrimin- ate bombing; our objectives are all military objectives " Concluding, the Air Marshal de- clared: "Our duty is crystal clear The role that once belonged alone to the mother of our Empire now be- longs to all the Empire. The heavy load of responsibility now falls upon the commonwealth of democ- ratic peoples. The tasks ahead may be hard and heavy--today the en. couragement, the Insp ration and the fullest effort of *he Empire must be given without stint to the mother of us all" Expert Mimicry The champion bird impersonator is the starling. The mocking-bird is louder, more pompous, and per- haps more original; but the starling is master of a great number of imi- tations, executes them more accur- ately, and has a better memory for | exact sound. i Observing starlings in their boxes ' near his window, one bird-lover avers that almost all sounds seem to have registered themselves in the starling brain. He has heard re-' productions of a hen's "announce- | ment" after her laying of an egg, | the call of a quail, the song of the | wood peewee, the mew of kittens, and many, many others. v4 "Some of the more remarkable eX~ | hibitions," he says, "have extended to very special notes such as the immature chirp of young robins, as well as the cloarer less throaty notes | of the adults. One of the most in- | teresting renderings was the portion | of a whistled song by some boy, the | whistled notes being delivered with | surprising clearness." To reproduce the staccato notes of | a woodpecker and the tapping of his beak on a tree must be high-class mimicry indeed, and the starling is | an adept at this imitation. Even : though it may have been months since a ceriain sound was heard, the starling still remembers, as is proved in his imitation of migatory birds long after their departure. --L. E.
