THURSTON, Editor EDITUKIAL NOTES Two women were burned to death -when an explosion, followed by fire, resulted when K&soline was used in a stove. Gasoline is more dangerous to handle than dynamite but people will continue to disregard advice as to its use and disaster is always the result. • • • There is one program on the air which we can recommend highly to our radio listeners, and one which is a credit to Canadian broadcasting. Shakesperian plays are being given «ach Sunday evening from 9 to 10 over station CBL and over the Com- mission station.*. Last Sunday even- ing the Merchant of Venice was play- ed by well known artists, vvith Sir Cedric Hardwicke taking the part of the Jew. Next Sunday evening "King Lear" will be presented and is based on early English times and is a drama of exceptional interest throughout. There are altogether eleven plays in the series, the list of which we will jf ive next week, together with a short synopsis of the play to be presented the following Sunday. King George VI and Queen Eliza- beth are scheduled to visit Canada in 1939, according to a dispatch released from Ottawa. Not only is George VI King of Great Britain and Ireland tut he is also King of Canada. His visit to Canada is eagerly awaited and no doubt there will be a noisy acclaim by the people of this country •when he does come. Is it that the British government believes that a visit by King George to Canada is necessary to keep alive the spark of inter-Empire dependence? From the actions of those in authority here â- during the past few weeks when a dumb silence reigned when the ques- tion arose as to what action Canada would take in event of hostilities breaking out, we believe more education along this line is nec- essary. While Canada is a member of the British Empire she has def- inite responsibilities to assume in de- lending her existence and without the aid of Britain she would become a vassal state of some foreign power. No real Canadian wishes this to oc- cur, as we are proud of our British heritage, but to protect ourselves and give the Empire greater prestige Canada has to declare herself and not hide behind a cloak of silence when a bold front is necessary. HODFIELUASHTON The marriage of Miss Elsie Ashton, youngest daughter of the Rev. and Mrs. Fred Ashton to Mr. Harold A. Bodfield of St. Mary's was solemnized at the Baptist Parsonage on Friday, October 7, the bride's father officiat- ing. After the wedding lunch the bride and bridegroom departed on their honeymoon after which they will reside in St. Mary's. A GREAT MORAL The minister and his wife were discussing two ex-parishioners who were in the news. "Ay," said the minister, "I knew them as boys. One was a clever handsome fellow; the other was a steady, hard worker. The clever lad was left behind in the race for life, but the hard worker â€" well, he has 'lied and left sixty thou.sand dollars to his widow. It's a great moral." "Yes," replied his wife, smiling. "It is. I heard only this morning that the clever one is going_to mar- ry the widow.'' The world may love a modest man but it pays more attention to the chap who makes a big noise. THAT toodi?

Cameos Of Travel (Continued from Page 1) William and put up at the Y.M.C.A. for the night. After holidaying for ten days in the finest kind of weather, with spirits running high, you can imagine the de- pression that set in next morning when we awoke to a drizzling rain »ming from low-hung clouds, and fog nad settled over the mountain. 'We had come out of our way to see Lake Superior and it looked as though we would have to feel our way through fog. We breakfasted in deepest sil- ence, and the repast the Y. M. C. A. gave us was worthy of a more hearty response. Somewhere around F\)rt William is a famous bit of scenery called the sleeping giant. This is formed by a range of hills, along the top of which are a series of nobs which, viewed from a certain iiigle, give the appearance of a man lying prone on his back with hands clasped over chest and his toes turned up. 'We were told to look out for it. Well, the giant might have been there^ but if he was he had pulled a blanket of fog over himself and thus was lost to view. We had no choice t)ut to proceed on our way no matter what the weather as we had just so much time to make home. After about half an hour out of Fort William we noticed the fog and clouds lifting and by the time we reached the Customs at Pid- geon River we Were greeted with beautiful sunshine. Art's ear had been jocularly dubbed a cement mixer by some of his friends back home, and it sure looked the part as we went in for inspection at Pidgeon. It had Trans-Canada highway all over it as a result of its muddy trip the day before. However, the customs boys passed it as a car! They said that a Quebec car seldom went through there hut one had preceded us by half an hour that morning. With two cars away out there, there could not have been many left in Quebec. The road from Fort "William , to Pidgeon River, a lot of it in among the mountains that border the lake, is excellent. On the United States side for ten or twelve miles the going is very bumpy, as the road builders are not keeping it in repair while they hesitate over where the new jad should go. When we emerged from the hills and suddenly came in view of Lake Superior we got a thrill that we will never forget. Coming upon it from a fairly high altitude, there was spread out before us an immense body of water, stretching away to the horizon with no shore- line in view beyond. No clouds ob- structed the sun's .shining rays from making millions of sparkling gems on the slightly ruffled surface of the lake. A rugged shore-line with the ribbon- like highway closely following the water's edge, up and down hills, around rocky ledges, or seeking safe- ty behind some cluster of forbidding boulders all made a picture that one can dwell on for hours. But we could not tary long, nor did we need to, because it was a continually unfold- ing of new and startling panoramas all the way of that one hundred and fifty miles to Duluth. I doubt if there is any more beautiful stretch of scenery in the world. An oddity on the way was to see a i-eplica of the famous Perce Rock of the Gaspe Pen- insula. It was on a somewhat small- er scale. But there is never an oint- ment without some fly becoming en- tangled in it. Along about noon we noticed signs on the way advertising fish dinners, here and there, so we pictured ourselves eating luscious slices of Lake Superior salmon, fresh from the cool waters that day. We stopped at a likely-looking placer- Beaver Bay it was â€" and ordeied up the fish dinners. In due course they arrived. Well, if Lake Superior sal- mon all live to the ripe old age of the fish We had, we prefer to get ours in the Georgian Buy hereafter. After a rtin over such a scenic route the urge is to again go back over it with a movie camera and make a reconl of all the best scenes. A lot of film would be nee«led as there is very little of the way that is not worth picturing. I hope some enter- prising person will some day take those pictures, so that I can sit back in my seat at my favorite theatre and' in viewing those scene.-*, live again that glorious day along Lake Su- perior shores. The foregointr about covers all of interest, as we returned the way we went after reaching Duluth, and arrived home in five days, although we had travelled 200 miles further than in the same time going out. Our •'log'' of the trip showed the complete dist.ance covered a.^^ 3,^05 miles. While at o\u- cabins at the Sno wc noticed a West Virginia car parked beside ours bearing the same license n\mil)er as ours. It is not many timo.^ in a million that will happen.
