Some time ago the Ontario Hyd Electric Commission published a le let drawing attention to the perils careless handling of electric light and ja power Implements. Children especial-1 ly are likely to handle such things improperly, and to amuse themselves by climbing telephone poles or the fences by which power apparatus is guarded. They should be warned emphatically of the danger of so doing. It took many accidents to convince the early users of illuminating gas that searching for a gas leak with a naked light was unwise. It appears quite equally difficult to impress on the public that handling electric light' with wet hands may be fatal. Pack Eggs Big End Up Eggs, especially those to be shipped for hatching, should be packed snugly with the large end up hatching eggs are less likely to broken-when in this position than if they are packed with the small end up. Each normal egg has an air cell at 'he large end and it is necessary that the membrane separating the inner portion of the egg from the shell membrane be neither broken nor shaken loose. Research has shown that eggs with tremulous air cells hatched only two-thirds as well as the eggs wh'ch had normal air cells. Packing the eggs with the large end up removes the pressure from the inner membrane. The egg case should never be placed on the bumper of an automobile, as the vibration at this point is possibly greater than on the floor inside the car. If the hatching eggs are hauled in a waggon or truck the bed should be malted with straw, which serves as a shock absorber. i gi' mailing list has been corrected Wednesday of this week.

Peter Whyte, prominent Banff artist whose paintings grace many drawing rooms in Canada and the United States, will lead the Sky Line Trail Hikers of the Canadian Rockies on a most interesting four-day holiday this year to Larch Valley near beautiful Moraine Lake and the Valley of the Ten Peaks. Plans have been completed for the annual outing, from August 6 to 8, of this unique organiza- tion which seeks out the loveliest spots in the Canadian Rockies and spends four healthy, happy days on Shank's mare touring the valleys, alpine meadows, and rocky country above the timber-line. While hiking is a popular all-summer sport at Banff Springs Hotels and Chateau Lake Louise; to the Trail Hikers goes credit for popularizing beauty spots off the beaten trails. Like explorers of old, they comb the country for vantage points to witness & spectacular sunset or sunrise, for camera shots to take back home as trophies, and for lakes where the trout bite freely. With a central camp in Larch Valley, the Skyline Trail Hikers of the Canadian Rockies will spend their official four-day outing in leisurely jaunts through this particularly interesting section of the Rockies. On the closing evening they will have a pow-wow and election ot officers.
