At the samse time Indian canoes are being shipped south, factoryâ€"made craft go up to the North, since some of the natives prefer them to their own make. The complicated story of how cances are made from wood grown near Cochâ€" rane, cut by hand in one Northland post, made up in another, and shipped down below again, was unfolded by a trader at Moosonee a short time agod. It seems. that the Indians at Ruâ€" pert‘s House River which drains a vast area in Northern Quebec, are experts in the art of making cedar canoes. Cedar is difficult to obtain in the far North, but the coming of steel solved a problem of supply and demand. Now, cedar logs are shipped up the T. N. O. to Moosonee, fhom where they are taken across to Moose Factory by boat. Indians there split the logs into long thin strips, and trim the wood by hand until it is almost as smooth as machine sawn lumber. * After being carried back to Moosonee the wood is shipped by boat to Rupert‘s House, where the deft Indian craftsâ€" men fashion their broadâ€"beamed, sturâ€" dy canoes.

Pelon was accusâ€" tomed to bake 27 loaves of bread a week and to make all the pies and cakes necessary for a family of ten. Now, although she still hears well, does a little plain sewing and takes a cerâ€" tain amount of interest in life, she is! not able to attend to the duties of the household. She never went to school and can neither read nor write, except a little in the Indian tengue picked up many years ago from a sisterâ€"inâ€"law who taught in an Indian school. â€"_Mrs. Pelon was born in a birch bark canoe on Georgian Bay 92 years ago last April. A despatch from Blind River ‘sa,ys that it was in the days when Hudson Bay Company posts dotted Northern Ontario, and when the tradâ€" ing post of La Cloche was in its infancy ‘that little Mary Beaudry‘s first wail blended with the sighing of the winds across the water that floated hser father‘s canoe. This was her only real labode until at the age of 26 she marâ€" ried young Peter Pelon, who worked in lthe camp and mills along the Bay. Mary Beaudry‘s father was trapper and fur trader, and with his family he traversed the waters of the French River and Green Lake and up the Mississauga River all summer, winterâ€" ing at La Cloche, where hé worked during the week for the Hudson Bay‘s ample rations of food and clothing. Scarcely more than $100 in cash would come into the family in a year, Mrs. Pelon told the interviewer. Mrs. Pelon remembers the coming of the railroad to Blind River many years ago, and then the automobile, the raâ€" dio and all the other modern contrapâ€" tions, some of which she thinks are good, and others not so good. Mrs. Pelon remembers well when there was no such place as Blind Rivâ€" er. In those days the only mode of travel to the Sault was by bark canoe, though with the coming of the railâ€" road and the motor car, and latterly the airplane, Mme. Pelon has seen many changes in manners and cusâ€" toms. No longer than two weeks ago her son took her for a motor drive, but she has latcly given up expecting or desiring a ride in an airplane, which for several years she coveted with a great longing. Mme. Pelon had seven children, four of whom are living. They have families of 15. 13. 10 and nine children, giving Sudbury Star:â€"This is the time of year whon you can identify the fisherâ€" man in any group by the fact that he is stretching his arms horizontally, and the hollyhock grower by the fact that he is reaching perpendicularly. | Byng Inle ind River Lady Says that Girls Obeyed Their Parâ€" ents in Her Young Days 111 had seven children, four living.

(Copyright, 1935, by the Bell Syndiâ€" ate., Inc.) Britain‘s historic lacomotives Jchn Shaw, 40â€"yearâ€"old war veteran of Sault Ste.

Recently he consulted a doctor on account of the pain and swelling in the abdominal region and was Oorâ€" dered to the hospital for an operation for the removal of the "tumour." Last woek the operation was successfully performed, but instead of the trouble being dtie to a malignant growth it was found to be caused by a bullet that had lodged in the abdomen. Enquiries showed that a bullet had struck Mr. Shaw in the leg at the battle of Camâ€" brai in 1917. The bullet was not reâ€" covered but he seemeq to make good recovery later.
