Arbing, a switch- man in the employ oi tlic Canadian National Railways in Saint John who on November 4th, 1927, saved thc life of a young child. The (iecd of which this formal recognition was made occurred in St. John railway yard when Mr. Arbing Jumped in front of an ad- vancing locomotive, picked up the littlc tot under his arm and carried her to safety. This meritorious action probably would not have come to light only that whilc in the act of saving the child he stumbled and in endeavor- ing to maintain his balance, strain- ed a muscle in his leg which neces- sitated that he stop working for a short time. The presentation was made in the presence of a group of railway omcials and Mr. Arbing re- ceived the congratulations oi his superior officers on his fine act of heroism. The certificate reads for prompt action and presence of mind in the rescue of an unknown child from being run down by a yard en- gine at Saint John, N. B.. on Nov- ember 4th. 1W1.

The irresistible appeal of the book lics in the fact that the records of1 past events from Vile earliest be-i glniilngs of Canada to the Great War are presented in story form in‘ a manner calculated to hold the int-i crest and grip the imagination of boys and girls: increase their pat-i rlotism and develop their lierolc iii-i stiricts. The method employed by the author is sucli that the learning of history becomes a delight instead of drudgery. The stories of the Mount- ed Police. the Riders of the Plain. thc United Empire Loyalists, the first railway train in Canada, the burning oi the Parliament Build-E lngs and many others are especially interesting.
