Without stirring from his easy chair, he pushes ia button and the TV set across the room changes channels. Another jab lowers 'the sound or shuts off the set. But gremlins -- those invisible imps ithat sometimes 'theckie 'scien- tific marvels -- have been caus- ing some mischief. For example, ia housewife in ithe U.S. Midwest summoned a tele- phone repairman and told him: "Whenever the phone rings our remote TV shuts off. My husband wants you to (fix it so that when tthe 'bell rings the set won't shut off--just lower its volume. Amazingly the repairman did just that after experimenting sev- eral hours with warious pitched bell-rings. Edward McBride came up agiainst ia wild TV set while flat on his back in a Long Island hos- pital. One day (McBride decided to freshen his hospital room with a can of air deodorant, but when the isqueezed the button on the can, his remote TV set changed chan- nels. The can apparently emitted -a high ffrequency squeak 'that not only worked on his receiver, but on 10 others in ithe hospital. One TV repairman recalls such sets sometimes. have operated "on tthe remotest and craziest of sounds", The models would be off and running if they received sig- mals from: Chirping canaries, barking dogs, /erying baibies, wailing sirens, low flying planes or ringing doorbells. LONDON -- British marathon walker Barbata Moore has packed 16 pairs of shoes in preparation for sailing to-day to make a coast- to-coast walk in the United States. (BRISTOL, England -- A West Country man who emigrated to Canada more than 50 years ago has written to a Somerset farmer to apologize for stealing apples as a schoolboy. A. A, Gardiner of St. Lambert, Que., wrote to J. C. Ogborne, who farms at Backwell near Bris- tol, to say that he owes 'the Og- borne family ian 'apology for tak- ing ithe apples from an orchard owned by Ogborne's grandfather. Gardiner, 63, left Backwell for 'Canada at the age of 21. His let- tter indicates he was reminded of his childhood. misdemeanor on reading a West Country newspa- per about the "bless the plow" ceremony at Backwell. CINCINNATI a 30-pound rhinoceros died during birth re- cently at the Cincinnato.Zoo. Zoo officials said it was only the third rhino ever conceived in captivity in the United States, GLANTEGFAN, Wales A blind British farmer says he pilots a (tractor around his 87 acres by radar. Albert' Newman, a 40-year-old former engineer who lost his sight 13 years ago, said he built this ra- dar set with spare pieces of port- able radios for about £25. The set bounces a beam from the tractor to two aerials sat either end of his field. A return signal is picked up by Newman wearing earphones. ; By listening to the pitch of the signal, Newman can drive in a straight line 'and knows when to turn. There's one ihitch in the inge- nious farmer's plan, however. He doesn't own a tractor and has to borrow one-from a neighbor. But Newman is confident 'that "having. come so far I'll geta ttrac- tor of my own one day." COLUMBUS, Ohio Roger Skaggs, blind in his left eye for eight of his 13 years, suddenly regained his sight while in his sixth-grade class. Roger said he reached for a textbook the other day and suddenly his eye "pop- ped". The eye had been damaged by an exploding dynamite cap. HARRISONBURG, Va. -- There won't be any operation for Con- stance. She coughed up the goods. Constance, seven-month-old min- iature French poodle who likes to eat rocks, got in trouble last month when 'she swallowed engagement and wedding rings valued at $1,- 200. X-rays ascertained the location of the loot. A five-week waiting period pre- seribed by the American Veter- inarian Association was drawing ito a close, and owner 'Mrs, George D. Conrad had just about decided Constanee would have to undergo an operation. Then Constance coughed. ASHBURTON, N.Z. -- The driv- er of a factory locomotive here brought it to a stop and jumped down, but his overalls caught the throttle and turned it on. The eng- ine roared through the yards and crashed through the buffers on to a road before the driver, trying to catch up on a bicycle, could seramble back on, SUDBURY. -- Joseph Zorzi has written off 150 gallons: of home- made wine, worth about $300, which was submerged when a creek overflowed and flooded his basement; ~ He found after pumping out five feet of water with a pump borrow- ed ifrom Coniston council that ithe water had seeped imto~ ithe kegs.

North: Bay; Ontario. » Moosonee (Continued From Page One) amount of the warm water from the drainage area in the southern tip of James Bay in close prox- imity to the mouth of the Moose River can be counted upon to have a detrimental effect upon the spring breakup of the ice in that area. It may also be the cause of attracting colder water from the north to replace the amount no longer forthcoming from the Har- ricana River. These factors would have a damaging effect on the port at Moosonee. As a by-product of the scheme it is suggested that a barge canal could be construct- ed along the reversed river to carry the James Bay iron ores to the Lake Erie steel plants. The carriage of low grade commodi- ties by water is to be commended, but the sinuosity of parts of the route, the speed of the current, the multiplicity of the locks need to carry the canal over the water- shed and the necessity of tranship- ment at both ends of the canal make the proposal of dubious benefit. More to the point would be the canalization of the rivers of the Moose River Basin. The Hydro- Electric generating projects under- way on these rivers, by regulating the flow of the stream, would be at a constant temperature during iffermentation. Mr. Zorzi made the wine for his own use from Canadian and im- ported grapes. FOLKESTONE, England -- The chain of office worn by the mayor of this Kent seaport contains 50 gold links and one brass link. The links are added by each mayor from his own pocket. Suggestions have been made that the brass link should be taken out but the council says the mayor who put it on probably could. not afford a gold one.

The canals need not be constructed along the whole length of the streams but limited lengths could be utilized to convey raw mater- ials to.a convenient. site for pro- cessing. The end products being transported out of the area by rail or road. Canals are often considered as an outmoded means of transportation, but it must be remembered that it was the Barge Canal System of New York State which by funnelling the traffic to and from the middle west via New York Harbour, enabled that port to outstrip its rivals and em- erge as one of the largest sea- ports in the world. In the twentieth century many countries have tak- en a second look at their canals and realized that they offer the cheapest means of transporting bulk commodities, and the writer Safety Aids To assist clubs and instruc- tors in teaching 'safe gun handling to young would-be hunters under the Hunter Safe- ty *"Progranime; the Ontario Department of Lands and For- ests now has three sets of col- our training slides available for a period up to two weeks to any organization upon request through their local Lands and Forests district office.
