TORPEDOES WITH WINGS While the pilot watches, a torpedo is loaded aboard an Albacore, a torpedo-carrying aircraft of the British Navy's Fleet Air Arm. Such aeroplanes as tliese struck the blows which did so much dam- age to the Italian Fleet at Taranto.

The fact that the maple tree yielded a succulent • sap that could converted into syrup ' and sugar was teamed from the Indians by the French priests, yrb.o settled along the St Lawrence Riv- er in 1678. "niey reported aocord- fagly to their Superiors In Fiance. But commercial production in Can- ada of maple syrup and maple sugar dates from 1706. Since then there has been an annual harvest from an increasing number of trees. Bvidence thai another Spring is advancing is given by the fact that sap's runnin' in millions of maple trees in Kastem CJanadaâ€" 70,000,000 it is estimated, of whidi about 24,- 000,000 will he tapped by about 60, 000 farmers, for most of the tree^ are on farm lands. The sap mns best wh»n the da;-s are bright and the nights cold. Con- tinued warm weather stops the flow of sap, so does a hifb. drying wind. Sometimes a snowstorm will restore the flow if it has been interrupted, ' Prospects are for a good r\m of sap this year, as there has been plenty of now and since the run be- New Wall Papers The new spring range is rea4]r for your selection.

The 1939 yield of maple pro- ducts was 3,437,500 lbs. of sugar and 3,009,000 gallons of syrup, with a combined value of |4,2O9,300.

In the '70'b the rush for gold in Cassiar found Wran- gell- outfitting point for as many as thirty thousand Argonauts who went into the new digging by way of Tele- graph Creek, lie community is the most historic of Abiska towns. Or- iginally called Fort Stildne the name was afterwards changed to honour Baron Wrangell, governor of Russia^ Alaska in 1827. Wrangell is a port of call on the southbound trip of Canadian Ntational Steantships mak- ing the cruise from Vancouver to Skagway, and when tourists come ashore they can find a bigger display of Totem Poles than at any other Alaskan city. A pig on a farm is not unusual, but there is an unusual pig on. the farm of Mr. Bryce Anderson â€" a pig which runs about the barnyard on five legs. This pig has grown up with other members of the litter, and as its body developed it has develop- -'! an extra frnt icr. I"'-' '" ^''•h is joined to the boay with tl.e regalar leg,braQches at the first knuckle, an<j from there down is entirely separate from the- other leg. When the pig walks it uses all five feet, giving it a sort of knock-kneed effect. â€" Stanyer Sun. The suggestion is miUh that a Ktstne be erected in konour of Sii- Frederick Banting.

Mr. Kenneth Eagles and Mr. Wesley Plummer presented the gifts and Mr. Gordon Miller read the address. Mrs. Flet- cher replied in a few well-chosen words and all sang "For she's a joUy good fellow." This same evening, on behalf of the Ladies' Aid of GibralUr, Mra Chas. Eagles presented Mrs. Fletcher with a bedroom clock and Mzs. Wm. Bullock read the Wlo*rfng address: ^ Dear Mrs. Fletcher-*- ^< have learned with doep«a« regret thai you are leaving our community.
