At Toronto, Provincial Secretary Roland Michener says the govern- ment will consider purchase of the land--now for sale--and reach a decision by next month, May Hold Auction Owner C. A. Pfeffer of Detroit-- who has expressed the hope the property may be sold as a unit to some organization which will pre- serve it--says it will go on sale at public auction if it not disposed of to the' government or a historical society by November. * Interest has been aroused in the property and its landmarks. by the near-famous character and career of Col. Talbot--scion of a noted Ir- ish family who came to the New Port Talbot, Ont, Oct. 11--(CP) | World a century and a half "ago, ambitious to become a great land- owner and colonist, ' Served at 12 Descendent of one of the Barons who fought at Hastings in the army of William the Conqueror, Col. Tal- bot was born at Malahide, Ireland, and served as an Ensign in the British Army at the age of 12. From 1784 to 1787 he was associated with another officer, Arthur Wellesley--later the Duke of Well- ington, victor at Waterloo. Three years later young Talbot was transferred to the garrison at Quebec and in 1791 was attached to the staff of Sir John Simcoe, forst Lieutenant-Governor of Upper Ca- nada. As Sir John's confidential secretary," he travelled extensively throughout the country surround ing the Great Lakes, His favorite section was this area and in 1803 he gained a charter from the Crown to colonize it. Opinions differ as to the Colonel's success as a colonizer but old re- cords indicate settlers came slowly at first but finally as a swelling stream--men and women eager for a home for themselves and their children in a land of opportunity, often with the mecessity of priva- tion and danger in bullding the home. . As the settlement grew, Col. Talbot's prestige in the area wan- ed, Settlers complained his schem- es of development were antiquat- ed and unimaginative, his tempera- ment! domineering, his politics re- e. He won popularity when he anded the London district forces in the war of 1812 but lost it when he opposed the reform movement of 1837. Lonely, Gruff By 1850 the lonely gruff old col- onel, who had never married, sign- his 1,300-acre estate over to a ne- phew and went to Britain for a visit. When he returned next year he found strangers in control of the land. He lived his last years in London and d'ed there in 1853. The land eventually was bought in 1925 by Mr, Pfeffer who planned to convert it into a gigantic sum- mer resort. The de) on pre- vented that plan and Mr. Pfeffer' interest now is in having the site preserved as a Memorial. Still standing on it is Col.

Stev- enson of Pickering is today celebrat- ing his 84th birthday, and despite being handicaped by an artificial leg, necessary following an opera- tion six years ago, is hale and hearty.

They lived there until 12 years ago, when Mr, Stevenson went into retirement, coming to Pickering where they have resided in their little brick house on Church Street. Two sons predeceased them some years ago. Always Jovial Always in a jovial mood, Mr. Stevenson replied, when asked if there would be a special celebration or family re-union, "No, I will here all day, if anyone care to come in and have a look at me. The happy couple celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary a few years ago, and are looking ahead to many more years of happiness together, Long since having given up driv- ing a car, Mr, Stevenson sits on his verandah on war days, and chats with passers-by. He reads the pap- ers dally, and is concerned about the strikes and trouble of the world. A host of congratulations from friends and relatives were received today. The Times-Gazette too ex- tends heartiest congratulations to Mr, Stevenson on his 84th birthday.

W. Brockington of Ottawa. His efforts failed when the membership of the union turned down a company of- fer of an 1ll-cent wage boost, and decided at a September 20 meeting to hold out for 12% cents. Guelph, Oct, 11.--(CP)--The tra- ditionally-busy bee went on a work stoppage in Ontario this summer and aplarists have garnered only a 20 per cent crop in the Dominion's banner honey-producing province. Official reports to the agricultur- al department of the Ontario Agri- cultural College here .indicate a yield of from 2,400,000 to 3,900,000 pounds compared with normal pro- duction of 11,000,000 to 19,000,000, In good years it is much higher-- the 1938 yield, best in recent years, amounted to 24,092,000. $1,500,000 Loss The slump represents a loss of at least $1,500,000 to the province's honey men who will receive about $450,000 compared to the $2,000,000 they get in a normal year. The situation stumps: the ex- perts here, Dry early summer wea- ther, frost in June and soil condi- tions may be factors but M. M. Webster of the agricultural de- partment remarks that "The only way we can account for it is that the bees must be on strike like ev- yesterday when struck by a truck. Canada's Bee 'Strike' Cuts Output to 20% ( Western Ontario, hardest hit, has no honey at all. One prominent aplarist says it has been the worst year since 1019, In Central On- tario, the picture is brighter, There there has been enough honey so aplarists haven't had to feed thelr bees. There is some honey in the eastern and northern parts of the province but the yield is below normal. Mr. Webster reports that the only bright spot in .the picture is that bee colonies are strong and free from disease, Last year--when Ontario production was down to 9,095,000 pounds--the wet spring and prevalence of disease cleared out the hives and left the bee po- pulation poor and weak. This year there are more bees but less honey. But Ontario isn't alone. Domin- ion government officials in Ottawa report that the honey yield is be- low normal all through eastern Canada, In the west Manitoba and Saskatchewan have a normal yield, Alberta has the biggest crop in its history and British Columbia has a good yield.
