Melbourne is thankful to be alive today after brushing shouldâ€" ers with death by drowning in the waters to the Indian River just at the entrance to Balmy Beach, north of Owen Sound. Driving his carâ€"over the bridge at that point, the: officer swerved suddenly to avoid hitting a dog; his tires lost traction cn the frost covered planks and plunged him over the steep edge into the water. Mr. Melbourne was _ temporarily stunned.. and when he came to, found himself in a car that was rapâ€" idly filling with water. He managed to break the ° window in the front door and clamber out on the side of the car. ‘The water was quite deep, and he might have experienced consderable diffculty in getting aâ€" shore had not another car arrived on the scene. The occupants cf this machine formed a human chain and Mr. Melbourne was landed safe and scund on the bank, still a little dazâ€" ed. but little the worse ‘for his exâ€" perience parts of the Argentine.

"Behind every MANM *" °* °0 ~~ stands at least one woman â€"someâ€" times more than oneâ€"for whom the light of life goes out when that solâ€" dier disappears into the war‘s inferâ€" no."â€"From a speech by Mrs Harvey Arnew the national president of the Agnew, the Y.W.C.A. den and other training centres. It gives the women a chance to see their menfolk, to chat a whileâ€"to have, it might be, a farewell visit. For a Hostess House is * a centre where women can meet and talk with their soldiers when off duty in the training camps. It is a spot where they can wait comfcrtably until the men are ready, where they can rest, have a cup of tea and sandwiches, and where their babies can be kept out of the sun and rain. It was to lessen this tragedy a little that the Y.W.C.A. have estabâ€" lished a Hostess House at Camp Borâ€" Women are not allowed in the camp except by very special permit, so just outside the barrier at Camp Borden, two summer cottages and picnic facilities (including benches, tables and bot water supply) provide shelter beneath the tall pine trees. The ccttages were once occupied by officers‘ families; the picnic shelters have been added Ilecause many visitâ€" ors bring their own food. A sign anâ€" nounces that the Hostess House is just around the cornerâ€"a welcome notce foo many thousands it must have been this past summer. â€" How many thousands it would be difficult to estimate. It started off with 800 women the first weekend making use of the services but that was doubled and trebled in succeeding weekends. There is even a First Aid room outfitted by the Red Crcss, and a little shop selling ice cream and soft drirks. But there are cther interesting features about this training camp, with its military and air force diviâ€" sions. One is the transformation fzom a city of tents to one cf: perâ€" manent huts by an army of approxiâ€" mately 3,400 civilian workmen, diâ€" rected by a small staff of engineers and officers. About 500 new barrack huts were planned and it looked a couple of weeks ago as if the obâ€" jective would be reached. Transforming _ a large summer training camp into one for yearâ€" round occupancy takes a bit of doing. It is said that over 260 huts were built in slightly over three weeks. A hut is 120 feet long and 24 feet wide and houses 6§ men, according to reports. A hut replaces from 11 to 15 tents, depending on whether the men had been sleeping 4 or 6 to a tent. It is said that over thirteen milâ€" lion feet of lumber, 25,000 _ cedar posts and 5 carloads of nails were used in three Peeks, and that special lumber trains ran from the Pacific coast in 118 hours. The Y.M.C.A., the Knights of Col-: umbus and the Salvation Army have; established their services in the camp! and of course there is the Red Cross | with its hospital. â€" A theatre bright-l ens evening hours for the scldiers,! and there are recreation grounds fcr, baseball, tennis, lacrosse, etc. l It would take hours to see the mll-l itary "city" properly. _ The air barâ€"‘ wacks are pretty well closed to \risit-l| ors unless one can be identified byl some cne in the force. But at Camp; Borden at least there is not the same problem that confronts the air trainâ€"| ing schools in England. Isaw one of ' the biggest R.A.F. stations in t.he;( country atâ€"â€"â€"â€", an air school that | ecst five _million dollars and eovi ered 900 acres. And that much land « in a small country like England| means more than the same acmgel here. But the most interesting thing: about it wasn‘t the sea of tents but | the camouflaged hangars. Huge ones‘ they were, of steel and concrete and then the curving roofs covered wm.] soil and planted with shrubs so um‘ they looked like low hills in a peaceâ€" Ad t + k ogie ies "A Little About Camp Borden _ By Mary Edna Ritchie in the ___ g‘# 8 uim the present enlistment of Dundalk Herald .

After completing the chores last Friday evening on the farm of James Lothian, North Egremont, William John Hay suddenly dropped dead as ne finished pumping a pail of water.
