A Boon to Fishermen "Doep sea flshermen must face many hazards but for Canadians whose ves- lels go to the groat banks off New- Foundland each year some of the risks iro diminished by the attion of the Dominion Department of Fisheries in tending a doctor with the fleet so that ^ases of sickness or accident may have prompt attention by a ijualifled physician and surgeon," an ofllcial itatement from Ottawa declares. Last year this sea-going doctor treated 260 patients on the banks, the report shows. In 115 of the 2G0 cases surgical treatment was required, and the other patients were fishermen who hnd been taken ill with one sickness or another. In. the preceding year, when the bank fleet was somewhat larger than in 1932, tho doctor's cases numbered 3C2. Some of the cases handled each year are, of course, not serious, but in others dangerous condi- tions would doubtless follow it treat- ment by a qualified practitioner was uot promptly available. â€" Quebec ChronicloTelegraph. A Sensible British Act Briiish magistrates have been put ting into effect a provision in a recent Act which seems to have so much common sense in it that the wonder Isjit was not made legal long ago. Under the Protection of Animals Act which was passed last session, a per- son convicted of cruelty to a horse, cow, dog or other animal, may be de- prived i>f ownership of the animal by order of the court. In the case of iruelty to a dog a court can order that the owner be dejirived for evermore of holdirig a dog license. This has been done in a number of cases, over »nd above the usual sentence. Animals confiscated may be destroyed, or given to an organization or individual which will !;ivu them kind treatment. Such a provision ought to be univer- sal.â€" St. Thomas Tmes-Journal.

She came to Norfolk to live when quite young, making her home witn a married sister at Delhi, Ont. At that time the family lived in a rude log house in the woods, in con- Stan peril from wild animals and marauding Indians. In ISaO she became' the bride of Uussell S. Gage, and made her home in Burford, Ont. They enjoyed more than 50 years of married lite, Mr. Gage dying in 1904. They had six children, all of whom are dead with tho exception ot Mrs. Will Hambly of Ro^kford, Ont. Mrs. Gage seems not to find lier age remarkable. "I never thought I'd be as old as I am." she said. "Still my grandfather lived to be 101, my mother was 91 when she died, and I believe my father was older than that." She in.jde the rather remarkable statement she does not find her age particularly desirable. "I become lonely." she said. "All my friends are gone, and 1 have out- lived all but one of my children.

Moose and Bear Tame In Laurentides Park Quebec. â€" Moose and bear are so tame in the Laurentides National Park that motorists and tourists who visit the park report being able to get too near these animals, and of having to back away from them to get good pictures. The Provincial Government has made the park au animal kingdom by 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 of a gun, and have never been molested, it is no uncommon sight to see either species of animal strolling along the high- ways that afford a means ot commu- nication through the park. Drastic measures have been adopt- ed to prevent poaching. Advertising is Credited With Railway's Boost New York. â€" M. H.

Declares Somerville Cold-BIooded Golfer Best Shotmaker iis Amateuk Field, Says Detroit Writer Writes H. G. Salsinger of the D» troil News, who attended the Unlte« States amateur golf tournament: Somerville's defeat was neither sun prising nor shocking. The London (Ontario) golfer was fortunate to es- cape defeat in each ot his 19-hol« matches on Wednesday. Five timfla during his two rounds Somervilt* looked like a certain loser, but each time a great competitive spirit carried him on. Strictly off bis game, th« sandy-haired Canadian kept bucking disa.ster. Twice on Wednesday, h« went to extra holes to beat his op ponents, but it was certain that thi same thing could not keep happenuig He finished the Thursday- niorninii round two down and he finally lost two and one. Somerville is not a good putter He was a bad putter in this tourna, ment, and he was oft with his te« shots and did not control them well In the heavy rain yesterday afternoon he hooked his first drive about 30 yards oft the fairway and cleared th« green with his second. He becams three down with 17 holes left in whicb to rectify his mistakes. The fact thai he lost by as close a margin as two and one is a tribute to his competitivs valor. Somerville is an excellent goiter. He has poise. He is deliberate and calculating. He has perfect compett live temperament. He is a good shot- maker. Tommy Armour says he la the "coldest-blooded" goiter who haa been seen in national competition since Walter Hagen reache ' the top. He has what golfers call the "fish eye." He is the best shotmaker in the am* teur field. But even a Hagen could not win when he failed to keep hla tee shots on the line and when his putts were anywhere from three feet to four inches short. That is what wrecked Somerville. The wise men of golf said that the first young man with a spirit o( reck- lessness who met Somerville in thit tournament would beat him and that is what happened. With his clubs be-, traying him, Somerville became ok- traordiuary cautious while his youth- ful opponent banged away. Pensions Change Effective Oct. 1 Good Pheasant Season According To Report Cobourg. â€" The outlook for pheasant shooting this fall is claimed to be 50 per cent, better than last falL Look- ing through Northumberland County today, a great number of flocks of 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 for 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 tho hunters. The Government had hundreds ot inspectors out to see that all hunters were carrying a license, hut they did not make any effort to keep shooters from shooting on prop- erties that were displaying prohibit- ory notices, the farmers state.
