Dr. Baldwin told the Speaker that the findings of these scien- tists and their reports would be of great years, always in a different coun- try,"' he explained, "and it will be a long time before it returns." "But the results of the trip-have been so rewarding," he said, "that lasting benefit will come to Canada because of their specialized know- ledge."' Dr. Baldwin expressed the re- gret that more Canadians did not show an interest in Botany. "Be- we are so few," he said, ry are lagging behind other works." Dr. Baldwin explained that he was not suggesting that Canadian botanists are not of high calibre, "'just too few", he said. Dr. Baldwin made special men- tion of M. Abbe Ernest Lepage of Rimouski, Quebec. "A wonderful man," said the doctor, "who has written many books familiar to those who are meeting him for the first time on this trip."

Late Saturday night, Mr. Bosch told your reporter, that he thought that he should take a look over his hives before retiring, and with flashlight came to one that had been knocked over. Not having a gun, there was nothing he could do, but later he borrowed one from a neighbour and set up an all-night vigil. Just before daylight he again heard the bear and looking up saw him standing behind one of his higher hives with a frame of honey in his paws really enjoying himself. He got a shot away, but did no more than scare the animal. Sunday night he and his son again took up their vigil, and again about midnight, the bear appeared, but this time chose a hive that was out of line of sight, and enjoyed a little feed. Again towards morning the animal came back and circled the hives before picking on another one for a feed. This time, his son, Klaas was handling the gun, and although the moon was full, there was not sufficient light to see the gun sights, but careful pointing of the gun paid off, and a bear, estimated to weigh about 300 lbs. was dropped almost in his tracks. This is the first time this year that Mr. Bosch's hives have been bothered by raiding bears.

The accident occurred during the heavy rain and on a slippery pavement. Mr. Allard was hurrying to make a plane connection at Earlton on a flight to Sault Ste. Marie where his son was involved in an air crash. He missed tthe flight. Opposite Pape's Steak House on Highway 11, an 84-year-old Bucke Township man _ escaped death while crossing the. road. Carrying a pail of water at the time, Arthur Phillips had a close call from a car driven by Lucien Desmerais of North Cobalt. Des- merais was able to stop his car before it struck the elderly man, but Bruno Simoni of Cobalt was not so lucky, and piled into the rear of the Desmarais car. Dam- age was estimated at $200. ~ Four-year-old Jill Taylor had a narrow escape from drowning in Johnston Lake six miles south of Latchford. The child was playing on a dock in front of a cottage occupied by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. George Taylor of Brampton, Ontario.

Artificial respiration was ap- plied, and the child revived through the efforts of Dr. R. Leevof Temagami assisted by Frank Can- non and Roy Charyne of the De- partment of Lands and Forests. A resuscitator was used. The child is reported in good condition, and resting in the Misericordia Hospi- tal where she was taken. On Sunday there was a three-car crash at Sunnyside, which result- ed in extensive damage to the cars, although no one was hurt. Wyman Tasse of Cobalt lost con+ trol of his car and smashed into a guard rail. His passengers, Wil- liam Harlla and Ted Jones of Co- balt were unhurt, Tasse flagged Jean Vannier of New Liskeard to ask for assist- ance, and William LePage of Co- balt piled into the rear of the Vannier car. LePage has been charged with impaired driving. In Temagami two men were un- hurt when their light plane crash- ed in the lake immediately after take-off. Albert Kipp and Thomas Hall, tourists from Pennsylvania took off for a short hop in their Piper Cub, when it was hit by a cross wind and piled up on an is< land opposite the docks. The plane flipped on its back, and floated with only its pontoons showing, but both men were able to extricate themselves and were picked up by a passing boat. @ Temiskaming Construction Ld P. O.
