Thus spake the cheeriest young man of 72 London possesses, Frank Hedze Butler, traveller, author and big game hunter, whose passion for seeing the world captured him again, How many hundreds of miles he has travelled in the last half century he frankly does not know, but in half. dozen big books he has 'written the records appear, "As a matter of fact," he told a reporter, "I have now seem pretty nearly all there is to see in the world and T am reduced to "mopping up" (in the expressive phrase of the war) little places like Timbuctoo that I have missed in my journeyings. "But what a difference there is in travel today. Everything seems so easy with all the good roads and mo- tor cars you get in what were once wild countries. "In my time I have travelled on horses, mules, donkeys, camels, ele- phants, rickshaws, ships of every type, trains, good and bad cars, trucks, bullock wagons, skiis, balloons and aeroplanes, in addition to being the first Englishman to go for a voyage in an airship. "The only vehicle that has not ac- commodated me is a submarine, and I should very much like to go in one but the Admirality does mot accord the privilege to civilians, "I have been in the tropics and the Arctic, in deserts, jungles and swamps and all of the big cities. There are some places to which 1 should like to return but they are comparatively few. "I should say they were Kashmir, where there is a wonderful climate, in which everything you gan think of grows; Honolulu, one of the most delightful: places in the world; Ta- hiti, that beautiful island in the South Seas; and Pekin which is a fascinat- g place.

DECLARES ESTIMATE TOO HIGH OF LIQUOR SEIZED BY POLICE Ottawa, Dec, 23--The estimate of the police that the stoc kof liquor seized at the home of J. Alphonse Langelicr in this city was worth $10,000 is much too high, Mr. Lang- lier stated today. He said it was wortth $1,500 at the outside, Most of it was wines, with onl yfour cases of hard liquor. All of it had been in his cellar for at least 12 years. He said he did not know that he had to get a permit to keep it in his home after the Ontario Liquor Con- trol Bill came into force. It was because of his mot having a permit that the liquor was seized last night and transported to the police sta- tion where it is being, held. In Police Court this morping Wil- frid Gauvreau, coun for - lier, asked an adjournment for one weck, and, no a being entered this was granted. Special s have heen placed on the doors of the room in the Langelier home in which the liquor had been stored. NO STABILIZATION * OF FRANC AS YET Paris, Dec.

By the new deal, Rene Fournier, big defense man and right winger, landed here at noon to- day in exchange for Freddy Brown, a member of the Hornets for three seasons, who goes to the Nationals in an even up swap. Fournier started last season as a defence man. But he was getting so many goals "hat Brothers decided 10 send him up to right wing, where he continued to be so effective that he ranked second among the league scorers. This year, however, the Na- tionals had plenty of defensive strength and not enough left wing- ers. So Brothers sought to get Brown. Mitchell turned down an- other proposal to part with Freddy, but agreed this morning, though re- gretting to let the speedy utility man leave , The Fournier-Brown trade is the second Windsor-Stratford deal in two days. Jack Connolly came here yesterday in a trade for Carl Palan- gio, CONNIE MACK CELEBRATES HIS SIXTY FIFTH BIRTHDAY Philadelphia, Pa, Dec, 23.--Connie Mack, manager of the Rhiladelphia American League baseball team, cele- brated his 65th birthday anniversary today, Mr. Mack is the oldest baseball manager in either Major League, if not in the country, and is the only one enrolled in the first year of the American League still at the helm. His baseball career started in the early eighties on the lots of a New England village and he has been a manager for 33 years, 28 as pilot of the Athletics. He is the only man- ager the Athletics ever had and has brought six American League pen- nants and three world's champion- ships to Philadelphia. : he tall leader appears to be in perfect health. He says he never felt better and is already laying plans for next ycar's Anterican League cam- paign. - CALF UPSETS LANTERN BARN AND CROP DESTROYED Owen Sount, Ont, Dec. 23.--The fine barn belonging to Angus Mc- Millan, who resides in Keppel Town ship about 2 mile from Ben Allen, was completely destroyed by fire Mast night, together with all its con- tents.

Ba -- Centre Player Registers Four Goals for Winners--Both Teams Shape Up Well and Will Give Shamrocks Ar- gument for Gorup Honors (By Staff Reporter) * Bowmanville, Dec. 24.--Playing a superior class of hockey in practically all departments the Bowmanville Ju- nior Hockey Club aged to secure a 4 to 1 verdict over the Peterboro Club here last might at the local , The game was gn exciting one for fifty-five minutes and during the remaining five, the homesters ran away, thus making their victory safe. For a time earlier in the final period it looked as ti h the visitors were going to make things interesting, The score by period was 0-0, 1-0 Bowman- ville and 4-1 Bowmanville, Smith of Whitby refereed. Incidentally the contest marked the opening of the tario Hockey As- sociation's series here and the game from that standpoint was one that was attractive to the home fans, in that Bowmanville expects to make conditions in the grouping different than they have been in past years. The team is confident following last night's victory that they can take a fall out of the Motor Cityrepresen- tatives and thus win the right to rep- resent the group in the play-downs, Petes Lacked Ability The visiting Peterboro club battled fiendishly for the first two periods, team was able to score, the goalies forwards of the visitors combined wonderfully well, but - when they managed to get through the line, the players were at a loss what to do with the puck. In plain English they . | are not polished goal getters. On the other hand, everything is not perfect with the local club, For one thing the players are resorting to too much individual hockey, not passing the puck careful enough _and often and often enough. This is essential if the team expects to get anywhere, About three hundred fans, men and women, attended thie game despite the fact that it was a cold night and the attraction a junior fixture. There were quite a number of Oshawa folks cn the sidelines, most noticeable be- ing Harold uke, manager of the Shamrock Juniors. Evidently he was there with the express purpose of seeing what kind of "stuff" his pets will have to buck up against this coming winter, One rather strange feature in con- nection with the game is the fact that all four goals secured by Bow- manville were tallied by no other a player than Candler, This lad who played at centre ice gave a fine ex- hibition of hockey, although he was like the other members of the team. Even though he did score the ma- jority of goals, is no reason why he should not pass the disc. Candler worked hard all night and must be given credit for the exhibition he gave. At least two of his goals were scored in front of the visiting gpalie when there was a melee of players facing the custodian. Jones Best Man Peterboro opened the game with what looked like a dangerous ad- vance the wearers of the blue and white taking the puck immediately into the local territory, However, consistent and diligent work soon had it back in mid-ice and later in the Liftlock City end of the rink. Right from the start of the game, that peppery little centre player of the Petes, Jones, was in there working hard the first period, like all the rest, found him trying hard. He was one of the most dangerous men on the visiting line. The terrific checking of the homesters, particularly that of Callidean of the visitors kept the Rubber Towners from scoring. To pick an individual star for this frame would be hard, but the little fellow who played centre for the Petes, was as good, if not better than any man on the ice. The locals broke through the line of the Petes several times, but on each occasion the obstacle be- tween the nets saved them from tal- lying. Miechm for Peterboro did well and the smallness of the score can be accredited to two points--the per- sistent back-checking of the players and Miehm"s good work in the nets. Candler put Bowmanville in the lead in the second period when he scored on a drive into the net. The shot was a mean one and Miehm was absoluetly baffled by it. That goal made Peterboro come to life for af- ter then there was excitement galore. Both teams were trying their best to get ahead. The Petes forged to- wards the local citadel several times but Hooper bandled them all with ease. He gave a brilliant exhibition of tending. The score at the end of the period remained at 1 to 0 jn favor of the 5 : Taking no chances to allow the Petes to get a goal and the thus tie up the contest, Candler managed to bag another one after about ten minutes of play in the third. It was one of those checker moves in which be managed to just slip the puck in. With three minutes to go before full time, Candler again scored. This and the latter did not seem 2 hold on it properly for the £F g i of scoring the only Peter- goal of the game goes to Le- 2 left defenceman. It was a shot in the third after but of play.

REMINISCENCES OF THE YEAR 1867 (Continued from page 2) for the full 12 months were regis tered. Twenty-two were convicted of assault and battery. They were each fined $1.00 and costs, Bootlegging flourished even then. Three men were convicted of selling liquor without a license, and in view of the heinousness of the offence, they were fined $12 and costs each, Sheep killing by dogs for which their owners were held responsible was also regarded sternly from the magistrates' benches: ~ NIY were convicted of the canine of- fence and fined two dollars each with costs, Non-payment of wages figured amongst the major offences of the year. Four men were conviet- ed on this charge and fined six dollars each with costs, Dispute Over Time Oshawa was then only a villaze of 3,000 souls, but it was up-and- coming. While Whitby and Bow- manville were content to go by adopted "Montreal Time," which was 20 minutes ahead of its neigh. bors. Perhaps this was where Oshawa got its start, However, there were protests, The com munity was aroused and protested that this 'new fangled time was flying in the face of Providence." However, Montreal Time continu ed to rule in Oshawa, Surplus for the Year 8S. B, Fairbanks, deputy reeve o' Oshawa, made his annual report of the town's condition, Receipts from its 3,000 inhabitants totalied $0,046.11, Expenditures amount ed to $8,293.43, The surplus wars $490.27, "Early in the year," Mr. Fair banks stated, "eitizens were told that the surplus for the yen would be around $500, As | stands, the surplus is $490.27." Taxation in Oshawa in the firs year of Confederation averaged around three dollars for each in habitant, Today the average i well over $30 for each man, womar and child, That is to say, a ter fold increase in taxation for seven fold increase in population y Christmas Trees The Christian Church of Osh awa had the year's most notablr Christmas Pree in 1867.

Oshawa Market It was only two years after the war between the states im the United States. Hence wheat was still at a premium on the Oshawa market, selling at $1.50 a bushel and from $7.50 to $8.60 a barrel for flour Potatoes, however, could be bought for 30 cents a bushel. Fresh butter was going at 15 cents a pound. Cheese brought 10 cent sa pound, eggs were 15 cents a dozen. Poultry sold for six cents a pound. Kerosene ail brought 17 cents a gallon, and rai- sins sold at two pounds for a quarter, W. F, Cowan's Store carried dis- play advertising of dry goods and Christmas stocks, Another store dealt in men's clothes and advertised heavy over- coats at from $6.00 upwards. There were some liquor adver- tisements, but one can sense that they appeared m by way of distributing surplus profits than really extolling the various brands. Drunkenness was not then re garded very seriously so long as it confined itself to mere inebria- tion. Five in all Ontario County 'were convicted of drunkenness in the year 1867. All of them were dismissed without fines on pay- ment of costs, AI HARBORS WiL OFFER FACILITIES Government to Open "il Aecrodrcmes to Private Owners SCHEDULE OF FEES Landing and Storage Charges Depend on Size of Machine Ottawa, Dee. 24,--Civil Govern: ment air-harbors will he open t¢ the use of aircraft operators tc the extent that their size and fr cilities allow, on payment of mod- erate fees, This wos announted by th "{inister of National 'Defence ie Lhursday, This step is taken to assist in the development of flying and the provision of flyin: facilities throughout Canada, an a scale of fees for the use of these civil government aerodromes, such as St, Hubert, near Montreal and, Rockliffe, Ottawa, which may be licensed as public sir-harbors, has therefore heen approved, The landing fees and hangar storage charges are based on the size of the machine, in terms of its disposable load.
