Burt. mm (mmâ€"- pummn mm a 141‘; hmzimg 11".}) in thx «By Raymond Thompson) At the top of the hogback ridge I paused to look back. Burt, my com- panion on a fall hunting trip in the Athabaska moose country, was waving frantically to me. “I can‘t make it, Ray. my feet are killing me." he yelled. throwing his pack of! his shoulder and sitting down on a log. I was soon beside Burt, but before I got there he had one of his 19-inch hunting boots off and was examining his foot and ankle with a worried look. ‘Think it‘s a sprain?“ I asked. “No! Not exactly like a sprain. My foot hurts in the arch and my leg aches. Maybe they were right back there in that little country store. One of the trappers told me I was crazy to hit for the woods without hobnails. What do you think?” What Not to Wear in Travelling in Bush Old-Timer Gives Number of Valuable Hints for Hunt- ing Season Wear. I considered carefully before reply- ing. Burt. a man from California. had made arrangements to hunt with me. in my own territory, in the Athabaska country. and in his letters he had in- ferred that he was an experienqed woodsman. A freighter had brought Burt out to my headquarters camp. 27 miles out from the nearest Alberta town. and I had therefore had no chance to discuss the matter of trail equipment, «including clothing) with him. Well, I made Burt discard his twenty dollar hunting boots until we could get to the camp where I had a supply of hobnails. And from my own pack I took a pair of moccasins and some slip-over rubbers with heavy rolled sol- es and gave them to him. They fitted a little loose as Elurt was a smaller man. but they saved the day. And. here we were, half way between my 27-mile camp and the moose coun- try at the head of Upper Lynx Creek. with Burt feeling on the hummer! Years of experience in the North- westâ€"in muskeg. high mountains and brule country, has made me far too wise to ever set myself up as an auth- ority on what the hunter should wear. But that same experience has taught me a great deal What the Hunter Should Not Wear. And, when discuss- ing the clothing proposition, the far- mlnded must always remember that what may be ideal under certain sea- sonal conditions in a certain coluntry will by no means fill the bill for other hunting grounds and other weather and topographical conditions. What To Avoid Let us enumerate a few of the items of clothing that one should in all rea- son avoid when on a hunting trip: 1.Don't wear the heaviest winter underwear on a fall hunting trip. 2. Don't wear thin socks to make a too-tight boot ”feel" better. 3. Don’t wear a boat. of any shape or description, that has not been thor- oughly broken in before you hit the long trail 4. Don’t wear a plain stiff-soled boot over forest trails unless it is hobnail- ed. Leaves, and especially pine and spruce needles will polish up a leather R0 U N I) KUUNI) STEAK, lb. 2 3C Kenwood KCHWOOG SAUsm E n) 21C Swift's Sliced BACON '2 lb- Pk. l to Wear i in Bush aymond Tr PHONE 2275 Canadian journal I, and Outdoors. 13 t bright magazine 7 such a question. 11d come to it wa You Should Not \ OLD HICKORY SODAS 29c pkg. ell-dressed bush this a good q 23c ms raised:â€" ed men wear is fall?“ This question to journal like sole until it is as slick as a well-greas- ed pig.

It will cause a strain. hampering free circulation. 7. Don‘t wear a heavy sheep-lined coat, or too long a coat of any material, when on the hike. 8.Do1'1't wear corduroy trousers; or breeche s that fit tight about the knee or calf. The forme1 make too much noise in the woods. and the latter ham- per the stride. 9. Don‘t wear a cap in woods when the trees are covered with snow. 10. Don‘t wear 'heavy lined mitts or gloves which quickly become soaked with prespiration and are so hard to dry out, becoming stiff and almost use- less after a few trips. 11.

Don‘t wear anything but a wool shirt. of light weight for fall hunting. heavier for colder weather. I speak only of the shirt worn next to your under- wear. Often a loose canvas over-shirt is worn as a Windbreaker. For Your Feet One could go indefinitely advising against doing this and that. when dressing for the big outdoors. But we will temporize with a few hints which we trust may be of some use. Another good item for camp wear is a pair of hunting boots with leather tops and rubber bottoms. I have aften used the uppers from discarded hunt- ing boots and have had them sewed onto a pair of heavy rubbers. This sort of footwear is fairly good for change- able weather in the fall. when it is freezing cold one day and slushy the next. Must be roomy enough of course to permit the wearing of heavy wool sox. Rubber soles. while not as good for catching hold as the hobnailed sole. are nevertheless worn consider- ably in fall hunting. A heavy rubber sole grips reasonably well in rock climb- ing too. One of the most miserable experi- ences I ever had was on account of the footwear I took into the Canadian wilds on my first hunting and trapping expedition. I bought a pair of heavy oil-tanned moccasin pacs and it’s a wonder I didn‘t break my neck! As soon as a little frost was in the ground I Footweai .â€"”From the ground up” might be a, good motto in this discuss- ion. Comertable serviceable boots are absolutely essential to the hunter. For fall hunting, this is a good com- bination, where one does the average amount of rock work, forest trailing etc. Boots not over 9-inch tops. 801135 fairly heavy. studded with Hungarian nails â€"â€" maybe a few short loggers' caulks in the arch of the sole if there is much fallen timber to negotiate. Two pairs of sox: (a) light silk next to the foot; (b) wool over-sox. While on this footwear subject: I never go into the hunting camp with- out taking along a pair of light shoes (in fall) with rubbers. for wearing around the camp. or tin winter) moc- casins and rubbers to fit. as a little frost was in the ground I found it necessary to crawl ‘up some of the sleeper trails. I finally made a set of “chains" by robbing a couple of our traps and managed to get by. This type of footwear is utterly worthless except for wear around camp or in a canoe. They have no sole and. unlike the Indian tan mocca hard and slick. I would not advise the average hun- ter to go in for the native footwear. although I have worn out a good many pairs of moosehide moccasins, myself. Unless. as inferred previously, a heavy moccasin rubber is worn over them The Indian moccasin is ideal for mid- winter use when the snow is dry, but the average hunter will not be trekking the Canadian wilds in forty-below-zero weather.

Even in midwinter I find it nec- essary to wear a light cotton suit un- der a heavier wool as I never could stand the latter next my “tender" hide. Always have a. “change" in camp. Breeches Tight Pantsâ€"Riding breeches bind the legs. I like strong wool trousers stagged just a trifle and no :cufls" or seams sewed up. Let ‘em fray a little; looks more woodsy, anyway. Shirtsâ€"See “Don'ts” on this point. An overshirt of red (some sections re- quire white and in this case an over- shirt of white canvas could be used) Not only act as Windbreakers but may keep you from being the target of stray-minded guns. “Stag“ shirts of most any weight, even waterproofed, can be secured in any color to suit the individual taste. A sweater, under a fairly light over-shirt makes a dandy combination. too. If you get too warm on the trail, you can slip the sweater into your pack. Never wear a sweater through bush. Hats. Caps and Glovesâ€"A soft felt hat is good in the fall. Caps, wool to- ques etc. are no good in the woods. If you have” to wear a cap in coldweather you can saw on an addition to the.ear covering that will hang down over your coat collar and deflect the snow or rain. A light pair of woollen gloves worn inside a pair of pull-over horse- hide or buckskin mitts will fill the bill. If too warm, pull off the gloves and wear the loose mitts. The mitts can be discarded in a hurry, for a quick shot at game. See “don‘ts” on this too. Summaryâ€"In rainy sections, like on the western 510pes of our continental divide. it is sometimes necessary to sac- rifice comfort for clothing that will keep the none-too-experienced woods- man fro mbecoming “drowned.” Fores- try men in such places wear what is known as “tin" pants and jacket ~â€" heavy close-woven water-proofed can- vas wear. They’re a nuisance, but they do keep out of the. rain. By the way, when hunting in any section, its a mighty fine idea to contact these same forestry lads. They know their stufi and dress to suit their locality and climate! And, don‘t forget that first-aid kitâ€" liniment. for sprains. bandaging for cuts and adhesive tape to protect the blister until you can make camp, etc, etc. And. good luck to you! Two opposing opinions are being giv- en publicity these days as to the prob- able weather for the coming winter. Rev. A. J. Bruce, of Copper Cliff. whose weather forecasts have roused consider- able interest in recent years. has an- nounced that basing his predictions on astronomical signs. he foresees a regu- lar old-fashioned winter in the North, with lots of snow. and temperatures reaching 40 below. Against this is the opinion of the Indians of Manitoulin Island. who also have a reputation as weather prophets. The Manitoulin Indians basing their beliefs on the ac- tion and attitude of animals and other of nature's signs, assert with equal con- fidence that the present winter. though having lots of snow. will be compara- tively mild. and largely an “open win- ter." Differing Opinions on ‘ Weather for the Winter Kingston Whig-Standard: Two men robbed a Saskatchewan bank and dlvld- ed the loot. One of them took a box car to another town. En route he boasted to a fellow ‘rallrlder' who re- lieved him of 1113 bankroll while he slept. On discovering what had hap- pened the loser reported the matter to the RCMP. Result: Both of them are serving jail sentences. The thlrd man is still at large. Mr. Faug‘ht’s story of his friendship with the famous naturalist is graphic. “I was call boy for the company and I went hunting with a bunch of older employees. all of them men. I only had a little .22 rifle. Well. I shot and wounded a partridge. and it fluttered away. I went after it. and before long I was far out of sight of the nest of the party. I tried to find them. and couldn't. I was lost in the bush! “It was a cold November, and there was snow on the ground. I had plenty of ammunition, but no matches. For- tunately I was able to overtake and kill the wounded partridge, and I ate parts of it raw, to keep from starving. Lost in the Bush “I spent two nights and three days lost in the bush. I had on my broth- er’s sweater and it was far too big for me. So, to keep from freezing, I pull- ed my head down inside the sweater and my breath kept the rest of my body warm. But my feet were numb from cold. An interesting guessing game result- ed in a win for Rose patrol. During campfire circle songs were sung. and a few rounds. The coming hike was discussed and then “Taps" closed the meeting. Regular meeting of Dome Girl Guides Oompmy held on Monday and every Guide was present. Lieutenant Coa- tun was in charge of patrol drill. roll call. and inspection. Competition marks were read out by Company Leader Helen Munro. who dlrectod the llvely some. 1909. Fought. a lad of 15, became lost in the bush near Chapleau and was found by Jack Miner. Because Jack Miner found him and saved his life. the famous naturalist has always call- ed Tom “My Boy." This year Jack Miner passed through Sudbury on his" 46th consecutive fishing trip to Sud- qu‘y district. and, as ”usual visited with the despatcher. Test work was taken for second class badge. and twelve Guides continued their study of the Child Nurse Badge under Captain Letterman. «From CPR. Staff Bulletin) To Tom Faught. despabcher at Sud- bury. Jack Miner. the famous natural- ist. is “Uncle Jack." And to Jack Min- er, [the man who has become famus through banding and cultivating thou- sands of geese, Tom Faught of Sudbury is “my boy Tom." ‘We 0,11 search parties set out in a dozen different directions to find me. Jack Miner was hunting near Ride- out. and he joined the hunt. Due to his wonderful knowledge of bush life, he was the one who eventually found Noted Naturalist Often at Sudbury me. I was nearly unconscious from exposure. I was so week I couldn't walk. He put me on his back and car- ried me two miles to the railway tracks. Then he fired three shots in the air to signal the other searchers that I had been found. This had been prepar- ranged if anyone found me dead or alive. They put me on the hand-car and a section man and Jack Miner pumped me home. Treasures Miner's Compass “Since that time Jack Miner has al- ways called me 'My boy Tom.‘ He gave me a compass, and I still have it. It's 22 years old. but it's as true as the day he gave it to me. When he gave it to me he said, “Learn to read the compass and keep your head and you won’t get lost again.’ I've foiowed that advice, and I‘ve never been lost.” On Fishing Trips J a c k Miner Calls on His Adopt- ed Nephew, Tom Faught. Mr. Faught often visits Jack Miner at Kingsvglle. Mr. Faukht, starting as call boy in 1909, picked up a lot. of Morse. He completed his telegraph-ers’ course, at Shaw’s business school, Toronto. and started operating on the T. N. O. in 1911. In 1913 he joined the Nipis- sing Central Railway, which had a nun from New Liskeard to Cobalt. But the novelty of the electric line wore out and in April of the same year he join- ed the C.P.R. as operator. He was copying a recruiting message to the late R. R. McKesscck in 1914.
