YO-HO-HO AND A BOTTLE OF RUM SAVED THE SHIP Captain William "Chips" Chapman Recalls Ad. venturous Days at Sea Saint John, N.B.--Captain Wil fiam "Chips" Chapman, always feel: younger when he can hear the wind howling and the waves roaring; and it was a gale lashing the harbor- front that caused him to grow talka- tive the other night, As the deep- throated foghorn voiced its lugu- brious warning on Partridge Island, he was prompted to tell how he went to sea at 14, and on the first voyage lost the preserves his ma had given him, and saved the ship with a bottle of rum, That was back in '75, when. he went aboard Captain Harvey Copp's 100 tonner Alexander MacKenzie at St. Martin's, and listened to his mother's words: "Chips, don't go assogiating with rough sailors in them taverns, and don't you dare to become a sailor." The Alexander MacKenzie ran down the coast to St, John's and took on deals. for England, And things started to happen. Going down the bay she "ran into a rum- tickler of a gale off Yarmouth," "The crew," said Captain Chips, "was drunker than any I've seen since. Turner, the mate, had his lex busted getting a spar fixed. Clarry Connors, the second mate, had his leg hurt at the wheel, I did Just what I was told and that was plenty, "Yes, sir; that was a trip I'll never forget. The crew soon got groggy from the drink and went to sleep in the foc'sle, Captain Copp and his brother got the eight-foot deckload of lumber clear so we could get at the pumps, The sca did the rest, and in a minute it was washed off. But the pumps weren't much good to us--just the captain, his brother and me to do the work and eight feet of water in the hold. The deals had smashed part of the deck cabins away when they were set loose, and the sea had put the fires out, "A woman passenger, travelling with her husband, was sea-sick, | told her she needed a chunk of salt pork, and thé thought of it cured her. Then I gave her all the preserves my ma had sent with me, She ate them all, "I found some holes we had cut in the deck when taking on the Jum- ber, so I plugs 'em. 1 told the captain, and asked him for a bottle of rum, He gave it to me, and I clambered through the wash to the foc sle and got the boys all warmed up with the rum until they came out to get to work.

It was atter the first mate had got his boat's crew together and brought the refugees on board that a big Newfoundlind dog set up a braking on the sinking vessel's cabin roof, so the mate took his crew hack for it, and picked up the ship's hali- drowned cat as well. Both animal were given to Captain Chapman the rescued skipper. "I kept that dog and cat for years," he said "They both died of old age at seu and we buried them like true sailors --sowed them up in burlap sacks and dropped them overboard to Davy Jones." Captain Chapman isn't fond of steam. "Steam-kettles are all right in their way. They're fast, sca worthy and roomy ; but--they're not for real sailors. Back in the oll days, sailing ships ran to foreign ports almost as fast as the bulky iron ships ,and they didn't have en- gincs to help them.

It goes on to state that "while there has been a continued rise in the production of steel, automobiles, and sundry nroducts, which are always in better demand at this time of the vear, the improvement has been so slight as to * keep operations well below capacity, except in re- spect of some footwear factories and textile mills," One of the least favorable ree- ords, it is pointed out, is that of construction. Taking the first three months figures, the value of new work, after allowing for lower building costs, is about 40 per cent, less than that contract. ed for in the corresponding part of 1931, An analysis of world economic conditions, however, makes it clear that "the upturn in Canadian industrfal onera- tions has been sustained for a longer time than elsewhere, ex- cept probably in Great Britain." "It is. true, of course," the letter continues, "that the rec- ords compare poorly with those of preceding years; that lacking CONTRACT EXPIRES The contract which has existed between the Public Utilities Com- mission and the Oshawa Street Railway Company, and has been in force since the time of the old Seymour Power Co., expired on April 2 and will not be renewed. The Street Railway Company, at the present time, only requires a comparatively small amount of power and this will he provided in the future at current rates as charged to other industries, LED THE PARADE In the report of the Canadian Legion Vimy Memorial Service on Sunday afternoon, fit was stated that the parade was led by James Aylett, past vice-presi- dent of the Oshawa Branch, This was Incorrect, as the parade was led hy William Lee, the present first vice-president.

It ap- peared to be about two months old There was no other means of iden- tifying the Falls' victim, Patrolinan Joseph M. Theriault, of the Reservation police, said he saw the man--about 6 feet tall and weighing close to 250 pounds--wan- dering around the Reservation at Prospect Point about 1.15 am, star- ing occasionally towards the Falls and walking up and down the river railing. Reservation policemen habitually question persons scen near the Falls at that hour, and Theriault walked toward the man to ask him what he was" doing. , As Theriault approached, the man saw him and climbed over the rail Theriault ran up and grasped him by the collar just as he reached the other side, They tussled a few mo- ments, but the stranger was heavier than the officer and slipped from his grasp, falling on to the narrow bank between the railing and the river, i Theriault climbed the railing after the man, but before the officer reached him he rolled down the slight embankment, was caught in the river's currents, and disappeared over the Fallg 50 feet away. There was little chance of recov- ering the body, which could not be seen below the FaNg at daybreak. Theriault said the man did not speak once during their tussle, He was wearing a gray overcoat.

W. Whillans, of Toronto, who dur- ing the war was attached to the Sth Battalion, Little Black Devils, and later was padre to the 78th Battalion, both Winnipeg units, During the last three years his migration work in Liverpool for the Presbyterian Church in Can- ada, Mr. Whillan gave a splendid address, which was most inter. wting to all, hut especially so to returned mep, He told of his visits to the great cathedrals of the old land and viewing the eolors of the different Battalions that adorn their walls, He de- geribed the monuments that had been erected to great men, Beau- tiful and famous as some of these were, the monument to the "Unknown Soldier" in London was the greatest of them all. He told of his recent visit to the battlefield in France and the magnificent Cenotaphs that had been erected and were in course of erection, A vivid picture was drawn of the conditions that existed on the battlefield in 1916. It showed how the soldiers fight- ing their way through a sea of mud to gain a summit, and upon reaching it, found stretched be- fore thelr gaze green fields, dot- ted here and there with homely farm buildings, It seemed to change everything for a time and give a new lease of life, Mr, Whillan paid a glorious tribute to the Canadian soldier in his review of the achievements of the Corps and the heights to which they had risen in the esteem of the leaders. After the service the members marched back to the Cenotaph s7here a wreath was placed and the last post sounded.

Two years of bloody fighting closed the cen- tury. The average American thinks of the Philippines as a small group of islands somewhere in the vicinity of Japan, which are important to the United States as a strategle outpost. As a mat- ter of fact American strategists are inclined to think of posses- sion of the islands as an embar- rassment rather than an asset. In the case of a Pacific war Theodore Roosevelt and others have coneidered the Philippines would be an "Achilles heel" for the United States, most difficult of defense, The {islands ars much more jmportant commercially, Annual production is estimated to be worth $2,000,000,000, Special in- work | terest in the United States, su- gar and oll producers, have al- ways regarded the free entry of those products from the Philip- pineg as unfair competition and they are eager to get rid of them so that a tariff may be applic- able, Another reason is that con- trol of immigration would be possible. The independence hill, present. Iy before the Senate provides for independence within eight years. a quota for products of the ik lands---incidentally larger than the 1931 imports--and limita. tion of immigration to 50 ane nually.
