PAoeI NIGET CANADIAN STATESMAN. EOWMANVTLLE. ONTARTO Wins Dairy Council Award The 26-year-old E. H. Stonehouse Memorial Trophy, donated annually by the National Dairy Council of Canada to the top ranking boy in Inter-County Livestock Judging Competitions at the Royal Winter Fair, was won this year by 20-year-old Keith Van Camp of Nestieton, Ont., in Durham County.

Mr. Stone- house was the first president of the National Dairy Council. Local Octogenarian Tells of His Trip to Many Northern Points (Continuad from last wepk) Twelve on Tour The party that lait Edmon- ton for Alaska tour was as fol- lows-12 in ail; two from New York - man and wife, very friendly, secnied ta have lots ai ;money ta spend, bad travelled in Europe, Asia and Africa, South Amenica and aur own continent; their next trip was ta be ta Japan. This couple was very interesting as tiey remem- bered 50 muci and tic hast af aIl ha said that ha was flot paying for these trips: My heirs ara paying for it. If more af us would think tiat way there migit not ha so muci squab- hllng over legacies. I guess I arn in the saeaboat.

Tie next two were from tie middle States-a lady and gentleman; tic lady somewhat cripplcd by arthnitis and the gentleman a retired professor, 1 beliave, ai Botany.

They kept considerably to themseives. but were alwayu Isociable and reaily one of us. I found a notation in one af the northern papers that- Alaska Iwas larger than Texas. I show- 1 ed ta him and hè threw up bis arms and said, I give up, yau gat me beat this time. It made a laugh anyway, but I was wishing it had been nome place lin Canada. "«Taeks In Rer Slackeu" JThe next was a lady from Illinois. She seemed figitty and rahrrestiess. You have aiten heard that oid sayinq "having apply here as she wore slacks; however. it could be "tacks in her slacks"ý-I did flot go into detail. She was nice, sociable, friendiy to -ail and everybody was friendiy te her. The next a gentleman fromn Utah, a retired secretary of a university - a very friendiy man who had a story to tell that would conform. with aimost everything you talked about. I do flot know how he could re- niember s0 many atories and have the right one at his tongue's tip wbenever the oc- casion was and whatever the occasion required. I do flot think he had any bigger head than the average, but it cer- tainly heid a fund of stories. The last was a pair from Ai- berta, a very fine couple and would be an asset, to any com- pany or community. These two and the professor stayed with frîends along the way and would be taking a later boat to Seattle. The above is a very short out- line and perhaps rather poor description of the people I was travelling with except the wrl- ter, whom many know and those that do not must form their own opinions. The whole company was sociable, agree- able and helpful to each other when needed, although ecd, to a great extent, went their own way, but I arn sure we al frit we werc each and ail a party af the Alaska Tour. Nceded a Flashllght As I said before we left Ed- monton betwcen 7.30 and 8 o'clock and travelled ail nigbt. It was bad for the driver for it rained ail night and was not pleasant for us when it came ta rest stops. At a midnight stop we had lunch, tien I ask- ed the waltrcss whcrc the men's rest room was. "Out behind", she said, "and you had better ake a flasblight". I sure necd- cd it. Wben I got outside, there was another man out there in the rain and dark, groping bis way. We found tie building and it put me in mind of when I was quite young. These build- ings were then called "back- bouses." This ane would cer- tainly qualify by that name. A littie later on, as I remember, they were called the outhouse, then came the more sophisticat- ed name, tbe toilet, and now more modern and home-like, the rest rooni. This building out there was a poor excuse for a rest room. However, no matter what tie name their purpose is the same and bnings us ail ta the same common le- vel. As 'we travelied furtber we came to a place where every- bady bad ta put away their Modezsty and propriety, and stand in lina and take tbeir turn or else! Everybody smilad and joked and I do not think a blush was seen. This goes ta show that we are, after aIl, good honest human beings and able ta meet the damands of ife bonestly and unashamcd. Reach Dawson Creek We could not tell much about tbe scenery or landscape while travelling at night, although I do remember that some af the way waa ratier drab and duil, sanie places forent fixes had tak- an their tali. Wa could sec tuis before darkness cama. Finally we reached Dawson Crack. This 's a thriving tawn and I was told that it can bardiy keep up with itself. This is the terminal ai the Northamn Alberta Rail- ways and the starting point ai the Alcan Highway.
