He was born in Surrey, England, on January 4,| 1899 and was married at Croyden, England on December 26, 1922. "A partner in the firm of Cole and Hobden at Littlehampton, England, until he came to Canada, Mr. Cole .was a member of the Church of . England. During his lifetime he had | 'lived at Croyden, Worthing and! Littlehampton in England. | Besides his wife and his father, ' he leaves to mourn his passing his daughter, Mrs. Leighton Astrop, (Joyce M.), and one son, Brian J. * Cole, both of Oshawa.

THOMAS BRECK News has been received that Thomas Breck, a resident of Byrke- ton, and well known to many Osh- awa families, was drowned at sea «in the Indian Ocean recently. Mr. Breck, accompanied by his left on a trip around the world just before last Christmas. sailed from New York on steamer "China Clipper". tails of his tragic death have been sreceived, other than that he fell overboard and was lost at sea somewhere in the Indian Ocean. Mrs. Breck is still with the cruise «= ship. Mr. Breck, who was storekeeper at Burkeéton, was 64 years old. He lived for some time in Toronto, and came to Burketon from that place 13 years ago, when he bought | the village store. He is survived by his wife and by two sons, William, 26, and Wally, 32. A third son, "Hugh, died in Montreal nine years ~ ago &t the age of 27. " Mr. Breck was a veteran of both "world wars. He was overseas in the first world war, and in the second also went on active service over- seas, being demobilized with the | ryank of major. His two sons also "served overseas in World War Two, .- William ag a flight lieutenant in the 'RCAF, and Wally, as a lientenant in the army. They are now both students at Queen's University, Kingston, BUCCANEERS' CLAIM For almost a century after Britain first claimed the Bahamas she was unable to occupy the islands be- cause they were held by pirates.

Posgibllity that In future sena- tors might have to retire at a cer- tain age was advanced by Senator SEAL HUNT ON AGAIN IN ICEFIELDS March 8 the Newfoundland sefl- | ing fleet, one of the smallest in the | history of the industry, only four ships, sailed for the ice fields off | the northeast coast in search of the seal herds, relates the St. John's Daily News. Wishart Robertson. The government leader in thé chamber did not indicaté the pro- | posed retirement age, but it was | | learned later that it may be 75-- | the same age at which members of | the Supreme Court of Canada re-| tire. Later Senator John T. Haig drew | down coals of fire on his head when | he labelled mémbers of the chamber | "thé highest class and the highest paid pensioners in Canada." He made thé remark during de- | bete on a resolution to appoint 12 members to a proposed Commons- Senate committee on old age pen- | sions. | The Progressive Conservative | Senate leader added that he meant | "no insult" to his colleagues--but | it did not quell the storm that | sprang up about him, | "Senator Norman Lambert (L-- Ontario) asserted that Senator Haig had given the description merely because he knew it would | | ce teh the headlines in newspapers. | | Senator A. W. Roebuck (L--On- | tario) said the remark was unfor- | tunate. Perhaps wnat Senator | Haig had meant was that senators had achieved a certain security, and did not have to concern itself | particularly about obtaining bread and butter. | If for a moment, added Senator | | Roebuck, he had any inclination to | helieve that senators were nothing | {mere than "peasioners" he would | resign at once no offer his place | to some one else. His thoughts, in part, were echo- | ed by Senator T. A. Crerar (IL -- Manitoba) who said that if he cculd believe that "pensioner" was the proper term for the senators. then he would not sit in his seat for "five minutes." | The Senate had been created by | tae fathers of confederatien. In- deed, there would not have been | any confederation if the Senate had not been written into the constitu- tion. | He believed Senator Haig was as | upholding | | the dignity of the House ag any | other member and by describing | the senators as "pensioners" he was ill-advised. Senator Robertson made his re- tirement age disclosures in & state- ment replying to a question by Sen- ator W. H. Dennis (PC--Nova Sco- tia) who had asked several days sgo whether the chamber was satis- fied with the news coverage it re- ceived. Senator Robertson said he was not so concerned with the headlines the Senate makes as the kind of vork it gets done. He realized that much of the chamber's work was "tedious and unspectacular." He was certain that if ihe cham- ber's work was of news value, "the press will be keen to note report and print the facts, as develop- ments of recent weeks have clear- Jy demonstrated. "Our major concern should be to do what we should do, and what we do, we do weil" A government source later gave some idea of how the retirement proposal may work. Members of the Senate and p2rhaps even mem- | bers of the Commons, on appoint- | ment, would contribute to a pen- sicn fund. On leaving the chamber, they would receive payments based on contributions, to which may be add- | ed additional payments from the | federal 'treasury. | 35 Carriers (Continued from page 1) | in addition to receiving 50 eents, | for each start, there will be an op- | | portunity to win a cash prize of | | $5.00. All the names of those se- curing between ten and fourteen starts will be put in a hat, and | the singlé name drawn from these will be presented with a crisp $5.00 | bill. | With these extra inducements, the last week of the contest should see the carriers setting a fast pace towards the objective of winning not only the trip but the handsome cash prizes. To help them, The | Times-Gazette has compiled lists | of homes where the paper is not now being delivered, and these are available to carrier boys and girls wishing to make a special effort during the closing week. Capable Supervision The party of boys and girls will be under capable leadership and chaperonage during the entire trip. It was announced today that the following will go along with the boys and girls as their leaders: V. A. Henkelman, business manager of The Times-Gazette; James Hare, circulation manager and his assist- ant, W. P. Ristow, and Donald Dut-~ ton, who is also The Times-Gazette staff photographer, and will take pictures. throughout the trip. Mrs. Frank Down, for some years a mem- ber of Thé Times-Gazette Staff, will go along ds chaperone, and take care of the needs of the girls in the party. SEEK WAGE BOOST Ottawa, April 1 (CP)--F. W. Whitehouse, president of the Civil This year Bowring Brothers, one of our oldest sealing firms, sent out two vessels, the M. S. Algerine, Capt. Wilf Barbour, and the M. S. Terra Nova, Capt. Charles Kean. Eighty-one sealers signed on the Algerine and 52 on the Terra Nova. : Two Old Ships The two old ships "going out" were the M. S. Newfoundlander, Capt. J. H. Blackmore, Port Union | and the M. 8. Arctic Sealer, Shaw | Steamships Limited, commanded by Capt. Sid Hill. Those ships | carry 55 and 70 sealers respeo- | tively. | Although the fleet is very small | this year considerable interest in| the seal industry is evident. Hun- dreds of men from St. John's and near-by settlements sought berths | from the owners and captains. Capt. Kean said that he %had| receiver requests for berths from scores of men since his arrival here from Brookgield. [ About 250 sealers man the ships this spring. Going back to the re- | cords for 19006 we find that spring | there were 35 steamers at the hunt carrying 4,060 men. If the ships this year secure bumper trips, the total catch will amount to less than 150,000 seals. It is interesting to note that in 1880, 100 years ago, the catch was 440,828. The spring of 1831 was a highliner when the several small sailing vessels accounted for the enormous total of 686,836 seals. History of Hunt | The history of the Newfound- | land seal hunt is replete with adven- ture, romance and tragedy. Off our coast are found two varieties of | seals, the harps and the hoods. The name "harp" js apparently given to the seal because of a brown patch on the side which is said to resemble a harp. The "hood" seal gets its name from the loose skin | on the head of the male, which | when the seal is angry blows up to form a cap or a hood. The hoods are much bigger than | the harps and some of the "old dogs" have tipped the scales at | more than 1,000 pounds. There is a peculiar circumstance about the harp seal which is worthy of mention. Close by the infant whité coat is the family blow hole in the ice through which the old seals go daily in search of food. Sometimes they have to swim miles in search of fish, and during their absénce the ice floes move south at the rate of five or six| miles per hour, and also in different | directions, yet these old harps, ! which have gone for miles under- | neath the ice, unerringly return to their own blow hole and pup. All Are Alike | This of course is all the more re- | markable where there may be! hundreds of thousands of identical | infant seals in the same vicinity. ! When thé harps are approached | by the sealers the male seal is the first to lose his nerve and escape through the blowing hole. The mother will remain with the white coat longer. The young seals and the mothers are killed by a blow or | tw, from the sealing "gaff" or "pat" which each man carries. They are then sculped, that is, their thick coat of fst is removed from the carcass. A'l the pelts are then collected and made into what is called pans, on which the flag colors of the respective ships are hoisted. The hoods are much harder to kill, and sometimes the male hood | will really attack the men. With | his hood blown up he can with- | stand countless blows from the gaffs. Unlike the female harp, the | mother hood will never desert her young, and invariably stays to die in its defence. Perhaps there is no industry in this country which people have | written more or talked more about. | It has had its ups and downs, but it | will continue to hold a wonder- | ful grip on the imagination of our | people.

Seed Good Seed Reap Good Crops As spring approaches, farmers all over the country are preparing for | seeding. This means the prepara- {tion of millions of bushels of cereal grains for seed. The yield and quality of the crop harvested this fall will be greatly influenced by the character of the seed used. Good seed has certain definite | characteristics. It must be of sui'- able variety and pure as to variety rand kind. It must also be free of | weed seeds and of disease, and it must be of good germination. In choosing a suitable variecy, the recommendations published by each province should be consulted and followed. These variety recom- mendations are based on the results of tests made throughout each province every year. Only varieties of good quality and of high yielding ability, and which possess the most satisfactory resistance to disease and insect pests are recommended. of other varieties and from other kinds of grain. Better yielding varieties will outyield poor yielding types by several bushels per acre. poorer yielding types will naturally lower the yield. Grades may be early maturing types by produc.ng both _over-ripe and immature or greenish kernels; in addition con- shattering of the over-ripe kerne:s.

[ To get a start with good seed, it is necessary to buy only a few seed and increase it on good clean summer-fallow. If care is takea when seeding and harvesting to prevent mixtures, these few bushels may be increased into a course of reliable seed for the entire farm. POPE ILL Business And Markets | , | Farmers.
