We planned to stop at the Nat- ural Bridge and see this wonder of Nature, but got a mile or two beyond before we knew it. But at the risk of being- mired we turned ‘cack and view- ed it free of charge. This wonderful place should be free to. the public and not in the hands of private owners. “Now we were well within the Shenandoah valley where the road way is magnificent now and was good then. At Hagerstown, Md., we passed the night, and then sped along to Mercersburg and the Alleghenies. We climbed Old Tuscarora the. road rocky steep and full of curves much like the Bobcaygeon-Bu-ckhorn Road onâ€" ]y twice as bad and three times as dangerous. We passed the night at Ligonier and the next day sped the 65 miles into Pittsburg on fine, high ways. It was but a short step from there to home. But for night after that my dreams were full of shuddering incidents such as toppling off high places or slowly sinking into bottomless pits of ooze. This last trip which I have just ended was a journey over paved roads the entire distance, smooth level highways that stretched like cement ribbons for miles and miles. We spent the first night at Waycmoss Go., the second at Greensboro, NC. and the third’at Harrisburg. Va., with home but a shot distance away That was my 92nd trip but Loy that first one was a humdinger.” Mr. Young is very well known ar; ound this locality being a continuous in The Office evening summer visitor here for the past sev- eral years ALBERTA GIVES FIRST Saturday until 10 p.m. Including PlONEER surname {Continued from page three) tains ahead. _ “Noticing the complete absence of cars beyond Martinsville, we there- fore asked the hardware man Where we bought gas. He said “Most folks seem to have ‘more sense than to try to get over the road in one of them there things, this time of year’ was his 'scornful reply. ‘Not one of them things has tried to make Rock Mount (30 miles nOrth) since last November. “Fording streams about half the time dodging great timber-trucks on roads that were roads in name only. jolting, jouncing ,and slithering, we got to Rocky Mount at 8.30. two chains on the rear wheels and length of clothes line coilled about the front ones. The Lord certainly must haVe been with us but I got a permanent pompa bur. “In: the crowd of amazed .citizens which greeted us was Henry Davis owner of a locomotive car," as the natives called his White Steamer. ‘Mr Young,” he later whispered so father wouldn’t hear him, the road from here to Roanoke is impassible, Mine was the last car to pass over it since last fall. Better ship your car bythe rail- road. ‘ ~. “But we decided to go on and met Davis at a spot two miles from town where there was a bottomleSS pit of mud. He persuaded a farmer to take -~ the bars of his fence and let us detour the spot over his lands. This was only the biginning. It was really a. desperate adventure. Through swollen streams we splashed some 14 crossings in all. Wallowing back and forth in quagmires like a ship at sea, sliding off the trail and then back again, we crept along natives running indoors when they saw us thinking we were ghosts, perhaps. At one place we had to leave the trail entirely and make our way for 600 feet along a creek bed. “At Booe’s‘ Mill we had our worst . tussle~ getting down into a creek and getting out. of it again, when both banks were at least a. 30 degree climb The creek was nearly three feet deep but had 9, rock bottom.

Solon Low Provincial Treasurer. The chairman of the board consti- tuted by the Alberta Social Credit Act is given authority to enforce publi- cation of any statement furnished by him affecting the objects of any Gov- ernment policies, the means being taken or intended to attain such ob- jects, and difficulties encountered in their achievement. Every proprietor, editor, publisher or manager of any newspaper, if cal- led upon by the board chairman in writing, must disclose every source of information contained in any state- ment in the newspaper, the bill de- clares. The names, addresses and occupa- tions of all persons by whom such in- formation was furnished to the news- paper may he demanded, as well as the identity of any writer of any edi- torial, article, or news item. The bill provides that every state- ment published in compliance with the act at the request of the board chairman shall be privileged and not subject to the Libel and Slander Act. No action the bill says, may be main- tained by any persons in respect to the authorized statement or its sub- subsuqent publication. In case the proprietor, editor, pub lisher or manager of a newspaper is guilty of any contraventiou of the act the bill says the Lieutenant- Govern- or-in Council may upon the board chairman’s recommendation, prohibit the publication of anything written by any person specified in the order or prohibit publication of any infor- mation emanating- from any person or source specified. The bill also provides every person who contravens the act 0r who makes any default shall be liable to a pen- alty of $500. any person who contra- ,us.

Edmonton, Sept. 30â€"The Alberta Legislature passed a resolution ask- ing repeal of the,Alberta Legislative Assembly Recall Act, which provided for recall of members of the Legis- lature by petition of voters. An amendment by Gerald O’Connor (Lib., Edmcnton) to exclude present recall proceedings in Okotoks-High River constituency, represented by Premier Aberhat, was defeated 51 to 10 on a recorded vote. The Premier supported Mr. O’Con- nor’s amendment. The Recall Act provides that a member may be unseated of a petit- ion is signed by 66 2-3 per cent of the voters in aconstituency. Charles Cockroft, former Provin- cial Treasurer, originally moved to- have the percentage of signatures re- duced to 10 per cent, and Fred Ander- son (S.C. Calgary) moved an amend- ment to have the signatures 66 2-3 per cent of those who voted at the last election. A Mr. Anderson today sought to subs stitute repeal for its amendment, but was denied the privilege. E, 0. Duke (S.C. ROcky Mountain) then moved the repeal motion, which was carried. TAPS AND U. S. GET NOWHERE Washington, Sept. 30â€"The United States and Japan reached a :liplmt- 11.. veadlock tonight overthe question I 1' l(‘:~] «Lnsibility for injury to United States citizens and American pr'pci‘ty in (hind. The Tokio Government capped an exchange of notes by refusing to ac- knowledge liability. The United Stut- es previously had warned Japan re- peatedly it would be held accountable for damage resulting from its mili- tary operations. The eXpression concerning liability was only one phase of Japan’s reply to an American protest against the bombing of Chinese non-combatants. In addition to serving notice that the Japanese military intended to pursue its aerial attacks 0n Nanking, the Chinese capital, the Tokio note in- vited this government to loo-operate with the Japanese Government to in- sure the safety of the United States nationals and vessels at Nanking. Observers generally interpreted the invitation to co-operate as a renewed request that the United States order its diplomatic representatives and naval vessels at the Chinese capital to seek safety elsewhere Secretary Hull, withholding com- ment on this and other aspects of the Japanese reply, told newspapermen the American note of protest and the reply must speak for themselves. There seemed no disposition among officials here, however, to co~operate if that means the withdrawal, even temporarily, of the American Ambas~ sador at Nanking and the tWo Ameri- can gun boats anchored off that city in the Yangtze River.

The headline in the Newspaper next day read something .like:.... “ONE.... DEAD IN CURVE CRASH TWO IN HOSPITAL MAY DIE.” You’ve seen dozens of head- lines just like it, but how often do you stop to think of the hideous pic- ture of blood and pain and death which lies behind them.

F there was ever a snapshooter’s paradise, it’s school for those who attend it. It may be a one-room school or it may be a great uni- versity. Wherever, whatever it may be, it’s crammed with unbeatable picture possibilities. Yet We might as well face the fact of the matterâ€"few snapshooters make the most of school’s snap- shooting opportunities. Perhaps they are dazzled by the very wealth of the material at hand. More likely, they assume that some- body else is going to take the pic- tures. And that’s a fatal mistake. For nobody else can see things as you see them. And it’s what you see that means most to youâ€"and to the folks at home, now or years from now. The question, then, is how to make the most of school’s picture possi- bilities. A little planning will do the trick. First, about the right camera for school. Any camera will do, provid- ing it is clean and in good order and uses a size of film that is easily available anywhere. If yours has a fast lens and a fast shutter. you’ll have an advantage in taking shots at sporting events, but such a cam- era is not at all essential. \Vith a ARMS FIRM TAKES BRIGHTON PLANT Brighton, July 23â€"Announcement .F.‘ -w-w- _, i W-w_~__. little care you can make even the simplest box camera turn out en- tirely satisfactory pictures. Then, how can snapshooting be planned? All of it, of course, cannot be planned, but many of the most important shots can be. Why not work out a scenario, Hollywood fash- ion? First of all, whether school's just around the corner or a thousand miles away, you’ll want a few good shots of home. Then a view or two taken on the way to school. Maybe those views seem commonplace row, but wait a few years. At school, of course, there are the obvious shots of the buildings, the grounds, new classmates, teachers, old friends, sports, picnics. class ceremonies, and so on. It’s ;-. good ide‘ft to take them so :13: to- form a kind of continued story. Then. when they are mounted in your album, the pictorial story will flow along evenly. A really good collection of school pictures is hard to find, as any school year-book editor will tell you. Yet there’s nothing much easier to take; and few snapshots increase in value. your after year. as surely as those taken at School. 157 John van Guilder 7..., ly responsible for the locating of this industry here, having apQrOachcd officials some time ago when the sug has been made here that the gc-stion was first made that they Cooey machine and arms Company might move from their present now of Co-bourg, has purchased the quarters in Coburg.
