Two Expeditio! Lonely Arctic Missionaries,' Policemen, Trad- ers, Scientists, Sail From Montreal for Three Months Of Voyaging In Canada’s Far .Worth. MONTREAL, â€" Bound for the lonely outposts of Canada’s far north, two expeditions headed out of Montreal last week carrying mis- sionaries, policemen, traders, scien- tists, supplies for the isolated peo- ple around the Arctic’s rim. Three months of voyaging were in store for the Hudson’s Bay Com- pany ship Nascopie, on the com- Lor is Visiting Outposts pany’s 269th trip into the north with the yearly cargo of human and inanimate miscellany, and Bishop Arsène Turquetil’s tiny schooner Marie: Therese, visiting the Roman Catholic missions in the land of ice. d Twsedsmuir's Son Aboard On board the Nascopie were the brides, and she carried, too, the eldest son of Canada’s governor- general, now a Hudson’s Bay Com- pany employee, on the way to Ida first assignment, and Anglican Bish- op A. L. Fleming, on the way up to visit his far-flung diocese. Bishop Turquetil did not sail north with his expedition. The vet- eran missionary of the Arctic is leaving soon for Rome to see Pope Pins. Eskimos Taken Home Headed north also, and glad of it, were three Eskimos ending their first venture into white men’s civi- lization. The two, men and the seven-year-old bdy, educated by the Oblate Order of Priests at Chester- field Inlet, had been brought down to Quebec for the recent Eucharis- tic Congress, where the youngster was confirmed. The piercing toot of the Ther- esa’s farewell whistle almost tumb- led young Simon Ayarwark off the vessel’s rail, but lie regained enough composure to utter a de- lighted "Very hot hereâ€"glad to get back.” Beside him, beaming and stroking a flowing moustache, stood his father, Jean, and Alphonse Koli- jerk, the other Eskimo. Before the voyage is over the Nascopie will have added a bride- to-be to her complement, Miss Irene Wallace of Peterhead, Scotland, re- ceived her proposal Via radio, tele- graph and cable from Hudson's Bay post manager A. R. Scott at Bleak Arctic Bay, and she accepted' the same way. Expensive Water The severe drought in Bermuda has caused an acute water short- age, and the local Parliament has voted $2500 towards meeting the emergency. Water supplies will have to be shipped from New York, a dis- tance of nearly 700 miles. The Farmers Shipping Line has al- ready started taking water to Berumda at $1 a ton. Bermudans rely for their drink- ing supply on rain water which they collect in tubs. Notches On Bed Tell River’s Rise Notches in the night saved. Tur- key Paxton and his son, George, from a watery grave in the flood- swollen Missouri Eiver at Nebras- ka City. They continue to live in their home beside the river although the muddy water swirls through the house, They check the stream’s rise by a series of notch- es cut in a leg of their bed, and during the night count the notch- es above water. Should the water reach the top- most notch, they plan a hurried exit. To learn the wants of the traveling public, Tokio, Japan, asked passengers on municipal street cars, busses and subway trains to fill out questionnaires. $3,500 IN 238 CASH PRIZES FIRST PRIZE $1,500 For Winning Players in fflbs* ®Ï0Ï»j* <md Mail “CROSSCARDS” CONTEST HOW TO PLAY TO WIN First, study the example game.

Marquesas Group; Has Ap- plications From Many Lands MELBOURNE, Australia. â€" What city toiler has not dreamt, at some time or another, of es- cape to a lonely tropical island, where he could live close to na- ture freed from the stress and. strain of modern civilization? Fred Briggs, of Melbourne, at- tached until quite recently to the photographic section of the Royal Australian Air Force, has not been content with dreams. He has set in action and almost com- pleted plans for the founding of a Utopian colony in the South Seas, to be known as the International Goodwill Settlement, Nucleus of Eighty To it may belong all those who are able to pass a stringent medi- cal examination, who are willing to abide by the rules of the com- munity and who can contribute $400 to a community fund. There is a nucleus of eighty or so al- ready. The island paradise is Nukahiva in the Marquesas group, uninhab- ited (there was once a native population), 47 miles square, and a fertile land of "broad, well watered valleys lying' between ver- dure-clad mountains running up to 4,500 feet. Escape From the Prese.it Since the scheme was an- nounced hundreds of letters have poured in from all over Australia. Most of the writers could not af- ford the necessary $400 plus fare and expenses, Some dropped out because there were no missionar- ies, some because there were no cannibals, some because they thought there might be snakes. Present members range in age from 12 months to 70 years and. differ in tastes, ideas and back- ground. All are united in their belief in a Utopia and their desire fw w, â- â-  s/ ’»1 f a-.r jt-Ty-je»- to escape from what they feel is the ugliness of present civiliza- tion. Britain Accepts Casiada?s Poultry ‘‘To avoid possible congestion on the poultry market during the pres- ent year It is advisable that poul- try producers should market a por- tion of their chickens at between three and five pounds, dressed weight and take particular care to see that they are fattened before sale so that they can be exported if necessary.” Chicken in Good Demand This was the conclusion arrived at by a widely representative meet- ing convened under the auspices of the Poultry Industries Committee of Ontario to consider steps to'be taken to handle the 1938 crop of dressed poultry. Last year the Am- erican market took upwards of six million pounds of Canadian poultry. This year it appears, that this amount will be very materially cur- tailed on account of lower prices on the American market this year, A good deal of confidence was ex- pressed that, with the small stocka of poultry in storage this year and the favorable outlook on the Brit- ish market, there is an outlet to take care of all tile well finished poultry Canadian producers have to offer. Canadian chicken, as result of previous exports, Is ha-^troii de- mand on the British market' «ml prices there are higher than they' have been for many years. Fatten Them Weil To bring the best prices export poultry has to be well fleshed and fattened to- the point of grading Milkfed A or Milkfed B. It was pointed out that a substantial pre- mium is offered by the trade for well finished chickens. With feed, costing less this season it appears that it will be more profitable than last year.
