The Provincial Government has made the park an animal kingdom try prohibiting firearms there, and all visitors are searched. Numerous moose and bear are re ported in the park, but as they have never heard the sound ot a. gun, and have never been molested. it is no uncommon sight to see either species ot animal strolling along the high- ways that aftord a means of commu- Mention through the park.

Good Pheasant" Season According To Report Cobour-Thtt outlook for pheasant shooting this tall is claimed to be 50 per cent. better than last fall. Look- ing through Northumberland County today, a great number ot ftocU ot these birds were seen feeding in the fields where grain had been taken oft, but plenty had been left on the ground to make good picking tor these birds. The farmers are dissatisfied the way the Government handled pheasant shooting last year; nearly all farms were placarded, prohibiting trespass- ing by hunters, but it did not stop the hunters. The Government had hundreds ot inspectors out to see that all hunters were carrying a license, but they did not make any eifort to keep shooters from shooting on prop- erties that were displaying prohibit- ory notices, the farmers state. Best Shotmakcr in Amateur Field, Says Detroit Writer Writes H. G. Salalnger of the De troit Neva. who attended the United States amateur gait tournament: Somerville’a defeat was neither aur- prising nor shocking. The London (Ontario) goiter was fortunate to ea- cape defeat in each ot his lit-hole matches on Wednesday. Five times during his two rounds Somerville looked like a certain loser. but each time a great competitive spirit carried him on. Strictly " his game, the sandy-ttaired Canadian kept bucking disaster. Twice on Wedmsuay, he went to extra holes to beat his op- ponents, but it was certain that the same thing could not keep happening. He finished the Thursday morning round two down and he tiually lost two and one. . , mmt‘ nutter. Somerville is not a good mun. He was a bad putter in this tourna- ment, and he was " with his tee shots and did not control them well. in the heavy rain yesterday afternoon he hooked his first drive about 30 yards " the (airway and cleared the green with his second. He became three down with 17 holes lett in which to rectify his mistakes. The tact that he lost by as close a margin as two and one is a tribute to his competitive valor. ---~-s mum, Somerville is an excellent gunm. He has poise. He is deliberate and calculating. He has perfect competi- tive temperament. He is I good shot- maker. Tommy Armour says he is the “coldest-blooded" golfer who hos been seen in national competition since Walter Hagen reactte' the top. He has what golfers call the "fish eye." He is the best shotmaker in the ama- teur field. But even a Hagen could not win when he tailed to keep his tee shots on the line and when his putts were anywhere from three feet to tour inches short.

Amendments to Act Require New Set-up of Admin- istration ottawa.-Notice is contained in the current issue of Canada Gazette that amendments to the Pensions Act would come into force on Oct. 1 next. These amendments require a drastic change in the set-up ot pension machinery. and reorganization has been going tor- ward a week with no otticial announce- ment coming as yet. " is understood that some diiticuity in deciding the necessary appoint- ments has held up reorganization, but the activities of the tribunal ceased over a week ago and several ot the members have already left tor their homes. The expectation is that all the former commissioners who wish will be absorbed in the new pension can» mission and some ot the members of the tribunal may receive appointments. The old board ot pension commis- sioners ot three members will become the Canadian pension commissioners with not less than eight and not more than twelve members. The travelling pension tribunal ot nine members will be disbanded, while the Pensions Ap- peal Court of three members will re- main a part ot the system.
