SATURDAY. Seasoned Timber by Dorothy Canfleltl SEVEN Continued "Youlre the only man in the round world that still writes his own letters. Uncle Tim. For heck's sake, why don't. you have a stenog?” - "Well. anyhow," said Canby, falling sharp-toothed on his hash. "you'll be glad to know I stopped at the post office and brought you a nice big sheaf of letters." "Who'll you see this morning?" asked Timothy. ' By the time Canby had named the people he had seen-it took him some time-three Academy seniors had clumped into the hall in their ski boots. and were silent- ly waiting in the living room. "Iim going to show 'em the wood road over to Henley Pond.” said Eanby, WIPLIIS his mouth hurried- ly and standing up from the table. "i'i'herc did you get. skis?” call- ed Timothy after him. Canby put. his head through the door, I boughtlm," he said luxuri- mialy. "i just went and hought'm down at Harvey and Sackett.'s Emporium. And boots. And poles. And a windbreaker of my own. And mittens. And a rap. And some red woollen underwear. I've got all the money in th. world and nothing to do with it." Aunt Lavinia cried, shocked. 'But Carihy, how silly to buy all that gear just. for one day! You could have borrowed it.” "Scotch my Scotch,” said Can- by iinpudently, thumbed his nose at her and vanished, Aunt Lavinia laughed. Timothy drew on his cigarette thoughtfully. considering this. "Well, I like Canby," he said. "I always did like him. But I shouldn't say he was good looking at all. Rather commonplace and nrd-.ii:try. with that undcrshot jaw and that nose. Arid spec- tacles!” , From where he lay, sprawled on the couch. as much at case after twenty-four hours of Clifford as if he had been there all winter, ftanby mid, "I was just. wondering. Unrlo Tim, if you'd ever thought about how the Academy could be developed. Old New England Acadcmzes done over new are all the style. Lots of them are being turned into the pcppiest kind of pl'('p schools. You could do it. here. casy. Now, if you had some young follow as assistant principal or manager, somebody with business experience-I bet it wouldn't be five years before you would work up a clientele of middle-western and city families that'd bring as much prosperity to the town as a shoe factory." Timothy made a. short cut to an and. "Now, Canby, just. think - you know what our plain young people from the farm and factory are-their clothes, their table manners, their finger nails, thcir way of speaking. Don't tell me you think they'd be welcome and at home in what's called a good' prep school. The Academy is no great shakes of a. school, but it does need and respect the students it was founded for. Since its about the only door open to them wouldn't it he sort of a. pity to push it shut?" "So that's rt-ally why you . . .” Aunt Lavinia interrupted, "Can- nyls got to leave early." "I'm not so sure," said Canby. They looked at him. astonished. "I'm not so sure I want. to go on that cruise at. all," he explained. "Just batting around don't look so not. to me now. I just didn't know what else, to do with myself." ”What else would you rather do?" asked Aunt Lavinia. "I don't know, Aunt Lavvy," Canhy told her uncertainly. "I really don't know. Maybe stay here a little longer. If you and Uncle Tim will lodge me and Miss Peck board me. Seems lcind of good to be back. sec? Mlayhe if I stick around for a while I might find something to do in these parts." He turned to Timothy. "That was really what. I was think- ing about, Uncle Tim. just now. Maybe you guessed it. I was the young business man who might pep up the Acadcmy. But I get your point.” ''It sort of came to me today that I'd like to give the old place the onvtt-over before I tried any- thing else." "Well, well, why not?" asked Aunt Lavinia. "we never use that extra third story room." Timothy turned away and open- Od the door to the cellar stairs. "Hey, Uncle Tim!" shouted Can- by from the upper landing. "Leave that furnace alonel That's my job!” He came racintl down the stairs four at s stride. Timothy stood back to let him PO33. laying, "Thanks." That's very good of you, Canby. Better not close the draught; too ight- ly." Without waiting for can y to rel." n he called down the reg- tater, "Well, good night, I'm!iff to bod. C O O The first Tuesday in March was of course town meeting.

The Church of the Good shep- herd, Kitchener, Ontario, recently tried out the modern parable of talents. Last April, on a certain Sunday morning service the con- gregation recelved 31000 from ush- ers. each of the iso persons pre- sent taking according to his abil- it . yAll talents will be collected at the Thanksgiving service next Oc- tober. The idea is of course to see whether the deficit in the church's operating expenses can be wiped out Progress in the creation of weapons at first was slow and the invention of gunpowder was a great step at the time. Whereas today it is difficult to grasp the tremendous advances that have been made even since the end of world War II in the manufacture of man-killing weapons. This seems strange indeed when there is such a desire among the peoples of the world for peace, but there is still the age-old desire on the part. of a few power-crazed men for a larger slice of our planet. . . . A wild Canada goose which evi- dently got tired of winging its way with its fellows is passing its days now between the farms of Wilfred VVelsh and Earl Talbot in East Oxford Township near Norwich, Conn. The farms adjoin and the goose crosses the highway which divides them at will. The farm gander is as buy as a customs official keeping Miss Canada Goose in the D701-707 place. Fish traps, blamed by many for the reduction of British Colum- bia's salmon runs, are no white man's innovation. The aboriginal Indians used several types in tak- ing salmon. Their simplest trap, however, was the pool trap, built at the mouth of 9. good salmon-spawrh ing stream. It. consisted of a shal- low pool on the tide flats, some- times dug out, more often the re- sult of stream deposits and tidal action, enclosed on the seaward side by a low wall of stories. When the fish schooled at the mouth of the stream the Indians would row out in their canoes on the reced- lng tide, and herd them into the pool, preventing their escape by scaring them with paddle strokes until the tide went out leaving them stranded and easy to take. In spite of the wide use of air- planes in Canada's northland there are nine casualties in auto- mobile accldents to one in plane accidents in the far north. The Rocky Mountain goats found in British Columbia, are really an aiilelope,erroneously called a goat. Both sexes have horns, the le- male's smaller, which they never shed. During the breeding season the bull seals of the Priblloff Islands do not eat. sleep or drink! He is kept alive by an accumulated food and water reserve in the form of blubber. Glandular changes take place which cause the body to feed on itself during this time (three months). At. Merril Field, in Anchorage, Alaska, a highway actually crosses an airstrip or runway. So there's a stop light posted to keep auto- mobiles and airplanes from bump- ing 1 Turkey Point, Ontario's resort for sportsmen and tourists, was so named by the early white set- tlers ln Western Ontario, because of its innumerable wild turkeys.
