Canada looks forward to an era of peaceful development of her vast natural resources and youﬂ; industrial capacities. Her PINK-tel’- ity is increasing as is her pool-- Lion and responsibilities among the leading nations of the World-

Even though she is concentrat- m; he; energies in great domestic elder-prises, Canada must at the same time preserve a. defence or- gnllllﬂtluﬂ as a safeguard B88109- lllB imssibiliiy of aggression. i-ler defences must bc sarictly modern and at. nil times lJLi‘.'.ll)lB of main- taining the freedom and oecurity that lieiipcopie cherish.

was buried beneath mounds of snow and ice. My mind went back a few years and it wasn't hard to visualiu the late Nelson Robert- son rowing us across from the vil- lage to the beach. Nelson was a grand sportsman and his passing left a. vacant spot in Annandaie that will never be filled. I looked in vain for the portly form of George E. but. he apparently was enjoying a book by the fireside.

We followed the Grand River to Poplar Point wharf and then swung left to Georgetown. From Cardigan to Murray Harbour the coast line was broken by endless rivers -— Cardigan — Brudenell — Montague - Sturgeon Greek and Murray River. Diving ducks were almost uncountable in the open water along this section of King's County coastline. I had one thrill near Murray Harbour I'll not forget. Happening to glance seaward I espied a long line of black objects lying on the board ice and well out to sea.

There were approx I50 or more of them and for a moment I tool them to be sea ducks and drew the pilots attention to the ob- jects. In the same instant I rc- cognized them as seals. I fervently wished I had kept quiet. The pilot immediately banked and opened up on a steep dive. I felt as if the scat was dropping from tinder mc and thought I'd never keep up with the plane. I reached for my nose bag but nothing happened. Some- thing thot tasted like rubber came up and stuck in my throat. l siill think it was my boots.

I I I At the moment when I tlioiilrlit we'd crash in amongst the llOrtl and had a nice plump seal picked out to land on and ride ashore if possible... he pulled out of his dive. I'm certain that. one of the plane wheels parted the fur on one old dog seal. He didn't have time to make for his hole in the ice .._ just ducked his head.

Maritime horsemen were deeply shocked to learn of the death on Friday’, January 7th, of Dr. Dan- iel A. Maclsziac of Sydney, N.S., chief veterinary of the Dominion Coal Company for years. The Doctor hurl not been in good health for some time and death followed r. heart attack. l-lc was a native of St. Andrews, Antigonish Court-- ty, and qualified as a veterinary and became one of the mostwide- 2y known in the Mnritimcs.

He was responsible for purchasing horses tthousrinds of them) used ll‘ the niitics, anti for their med- ical care and attention.
