Hardly 30 yards of the cliffs were visible on elther hand, and Tubby Baring was Inclined to be peevish. "Pity we didn‘t wait for the sun to break through after: breakfast," he grumbled. "Nonsense," retorted the downright Marjorie, ‘"one bathe before breakiast is worth a dozen after. No one is alâ€" lowed to slsep after seven in our house, I can tell you. Lazy slacker!" Whereat the abashed Tubby subsided into silence, and with no further reâ€" monstrance from him to break the alâ€" most ceerie stillness, they reached the shore. Seaward was a grey void, the softly breaking line of wavelets fringâ€" ing it themselves amlsot invisible. Somewhere along the shore a dog was yapping ceaselessly. For some reason it got on Tubby‘s nerves. | "Straight ahcad,". she . said, "you can‘t see it now but youâ€"probably noâ€" ticed it yesterday, is the remains of an old wreck, a topâ€"hole place to dive from.

"Shut up, you brute," he said crossâ€" ly. "I‘d buzz a stone at you if you were closer." Marjorie slipped off her wrap and pointed seawards. from. I‘ll race you to it." A moment later all three were pickâ€" ing their way over the rocks and shinâ€" gle, Tubby, who preferred softer going, once more full of lamentation. Jimmy and the girl, reaching sand and the sea together, plunged in, oblivious to their companion in distress who, having stubbed his toes against rock, had sat down bitterly to inspect the damage. Already he had decided that the race was not for him. Both fine swimmers, the other two kept on, doing the "crawl," and preâ€" sently Jimmy raised his head to get his bearings.

"What other girl?" Better aware of the wreck‘s positicn, Marjorie had not needed to raise her head. Therefore she had s:en nothing of the girl on its deck. Thus, with head halfâ€"submerged as he cut through the water, he failed to see what was happening on the wreckâ€" the shadowy form that crept across the deck, the oar raised above the head of th»> girl who was azout to dive, the talling of the blow, and thenâ€" the stealthy withdrawal of the second figâ€" ure into a boat which, propelied with infinite care, was soon lost in the nolse of his own progress. "Beat you!" he gasped triumphantly. "But, by Jove, you can swim, old thing!" Then he remembered, and looked upâ€" ward and around. "What other girl?" she repeated. "You‘re dreaming, Jimmy. As Tubby would say, there ain‘t no other gir ” There was no response, save a croak from a gull, which, having alighted on the hulk, flew indignantly away. Jimmy frowned. "She must have dived," he muttered, "and if so . . ." "Stick here; old thing," he told her. "I‘m going down." Drawing a long breath, he swam beâ€" rneath the surfase. There was no reâ€" vealing sunlight to pierce those dim depths, but it struck him later that Fate must have guided his progress straight to the blurred figure that lay huddled on the ccean floor. A moment later, feeling as if his lungs must burst, he haqd her up in the air again, and was vaguely conscious of Marjorie‘s astonished cry. ‘"No," Jimmy said, "but there was," and he told her what he had noticed. "Funny," he murmured, "she was just about to dive." He raised his voice, and hailed the deck above him. "Hi! Anybody there? Anyone swimâ€" ming ntar here?" He carefully gaug:d the spot where he had seen her standing, and then turneg to Marjorie. His hand shot out and touched the wreck‘s side a yard ahead of Marjorie. "Why it‘s that girlâ€"the one we Ssaw with Cartwright yesterday.‘" Then, in a scared voiceâ€"‘"Jimmy, is she dead?" . He shook his head. "No, I can feel her heart still going But we‘d better get ashoreâ€"first aid‘s indicated. Thank heaven I saw her. She must have slipped and hit her head, or something, or the shock of the water wa stoo great. Come along." must be getting close at hand. He was right. Dimly he could see the dark blur of it through the mist, and was about to lower his head for a final spurt when he became aware that someone was already on it. Outlined against the fog, poised in the act of diving, was a slim and shapeâ€" ly bodyâ€"a girl‘s, he could just tell that. Then, finding Marjorie drawing alongâ€" side him, his head went down and he put in all he knew for the last 20 On the way back they met Tubby, who, having discovered that the injury to his foot was negligible, was manfully cleaving the Atlantic with a laborious breast stroke. His astonishment caused him to swallow a large portion of that same Atlantic. "Good lord," he spluttered. "Where d‘you find her? By the way, I passed some cloth:s back yonder. Must be hers." Both Jimmy and Marjorie Cottle were expert at resuscitating the drownâ€" ing, and it was not long before Phyllis Laleham, thanks to their efforts and the promptness of her rescue, opened her eyes and gave other evidence that she would soon be, to some extent at least, herself again. Whereupon Jimmy grew suddenly shy. S "A brisk trot down the shore to keep curselves warm is what we . want," agreed Tusby. ‘"‘Come on, James, old bean, we‘ll see what‘s agitating that inâ€" fernal dog. It‘s never stopped barking all the time we‘ve been here." Leaving Marjorie to her further minâ€" istrations, they disappeared into the mist which was already showing welâ€" come signs of lifting. As they approachâ€" ed it, the dog‘s barking grew more yoâ€" ciferous, reaching a shrill crescendo which caused Tubby to stoop and pick up a pebble with a purposeful air. The dog must have heard their footâ€" steps, for preSently it came racing to meet them, and Tubby‘s stone wAs never thrown, for its barking changed to an urgent whine. It ran a little way before them, angd then back, and all the time it whined as if endeavouring to tell them what was on its mind. "Pity you can‘t speak, old hound," said Tubby. "Then we‘d know if it was worth while following you." ‘The animal, a fox terrier, evidently had no missivings on this point, for "Give her a good rubâ€"down, and get her into her clothes," he told Marjorie. "Bing out when you‘re ready, and we‘ll come Back." â€"~"Just wait till I get up to you, you brute," he threatened. (Copyright) ‘"For goodness sake, Jimmy, let‘s see what it is," he urged. "I‘ve never heard so small a dog make so big a noise in my life before. Shut up, you idiot!" ‘As ‘for the two young men it had brought upon the sceme, they stood stock still, even the flippant Tubby frozen into immobility at the sight that. met their gaze. I lying, half~reclining against the floorboards of the boat, was a man of middleâ€"age, his blue‘ reefer suit ominâ€" ously stained from the chest downâ€" wards with what they knew was blood. Jimmy‘s breath hissed through his teeth. Apart from this tellâ€"tale stain, on the water, ang had been allowed to rot away slowly on the sand above high tide mark. Propped on its side, it afforded pleasant shade for picnic parties, shelter where courting couâ€" ples‘ could withdrawâ€""The world forâ€" getting, by the world forgot." Its keel was turneg towards Jimmy and ‘Tubby Baring, but the terrier imâ€" mediately rushed round to the open side and resumed its frenzied barking, so shrill and earâ€"splitting that Tubby was moved to protest once more. ‘Together, they moved aroind the derelict boat, and immediately the dog céased its clamour, as if aware that at length its mission was done. One low howl it uttered, ang was still. (Dr. Gordon Bates) It is a fact that while much in the way of public instruction remains to be done, people are much more familiar with the superficial facts of health and diséase prevention than they were a decade ago.‘Yet are the people exerâ€" cising that â€" knowledge for their proâ€" tection? Are they making use of the discoveries of medical science or are they neglecting their part in the comâ€" munity programme and throwing the full ‘onus on the family: doctor, the public health department or some other agency, expecting them to work "miraâ€" cles" when trouble comes? they proceeded thus until there loomed up before them through the lightening mis; the outline of an upturned boat.

Ontario on Powder Keg in Way of Health Situation in Regard t 0 â€" Smallpox Given as Exâ€" ample. Need for Public â€"Awakening. - Some authoritiee are inclined to think the answers to those questions are definitely "yes," making exception for those alert fewâ€"who, realizing the dangers of communicable diseases and the pitiful aftermath many of them beâ€" queath to the home, leave nothing to chance in protecting themselves and their families. In a recent.editorial the Toronto Globe called attention to the condition that exists, partly as an outâ€" growth of ignorance, partly of neglect, and said : Health League of Canada show that only 10 per cent. to 15 per cent. of the school population in Ontario is vaccinâ€" ated. The authorities admit having no ‘check on the number of children vacâ€" cinated by the family doctors but they have another means of substantiating their records. Practically all the vaccine is aistributed from the Central Laboraâ€" tory in Toronto and over a period of What are some of the facts the Globe: was drawing attention to? Con.slderl only one disease, smallpox. Recently: a! responsible public health authority inâ€" Ottawa made the statement that so far. as the dangers of that discase were concerned, "we are sitting on a powder. keg," Less than 25 per cent. of that city‘s children, according to the latest records, have been vaccinated. If taken\ in oomparison with the Provincial averâ€" age that percentage is not to be regardâ€" edâ€"as an understatement. In fact, it is decidedly high., . Statistics released this week to the ized, and the Toronto ratio can be acâ€" cepted as the customary spread between the two groups, it is not difficult to calculate that about 7 psr cent. of the vincial average thereby *"favourably‘ distorting the actual picture. Estimates of ‘that city‘s medical health officers show between 65 per cent .and 70 per cent.; of the school children are vaccinâ€" ated while less than 35 per cent. of the preâ€"school children have received that protection. â€" _ If less than 15 per cent. oftheschool children of Ontarioe have been immunâ€" preâ€"school children throughout Onâ€" tario have been given any attention. On such evidence the authorities base their criticism and umuone could regard "They (the parents) take no pains to guarg their children from infection and so are active agents in spreading the disease. There is no reason why a child, properly safeguarded, should fall victim to any of these communicable years the distribution doss not "begin to approximate the yearly birthrate." ‘The city of Toronto, perhaps, has the highest average in the province and its totals unquestionably boost the proâ€" (TO BE CONTINUED) of minery, mining supplies, timber and coal. <~Long hauls characterize this trafâ€" fic; the mines bring coal from the east, timber from the west, and they ship heavy metals to the seaboard or border points for export. An example of the growth of. mineâ€"freighting traffic is proâ€" vided in reports of the Temiskamâ€" ing and Northern Ontario Railway, which traverses one of the of the Dominion‘s mineralized areas. In 1915 the revenue tcnnage hauled was 676,000 tons, whereas in 1935 the figur:> haq reached 1,041,000 tous. That railâ€" way is outstanding in thkis country in that it consistently earns profits. The same authorities would be frank to admit that there has not been a serious outbreak of smallpox in Ontario for three and a half years. But they would not alter their previcus opinion becaus> of that admission. When they look at their records the only conclusion is that the province is fair game for anothér outbreak with the most favourâ€" able smallpox season approaching. And, unfortunately, it is not characteristic of smallpox to pay humans the courâ€" tesy of announcing in advance that it is coming. An isolatsd case here and there would be sufficient by way of a as applicable generallyâ€"literally the homes of this province are astride a powder keg. Between the manufacturing and agriâ€" cultural East and the farming West there <lies a stretch of tsrritory hunâ€" dreds of square miles in extent, the weak link in the Canadian railway system. Outside of tourist and through traffic it yielded little revenue * for years. But this condition is rapidly changing. > Gold has been fqound at dozâ€" ens of points and the link has been strengthened by increased outputs of precious metal. D:smands for new railâ€" way lines are coming from recently established mining areas, as for exâ€" ample those in northwestern Quebec. In that region dsposits of copper and golg have been discovered and opened and the only requirement for a big deâ€" velopment is cheap transportation. them as alarmists if they were to adopt the description of the Ottawa authority Mining Produces Million New Wealth The Dominion Bursau of Statistics has estimated that, out of the 69,000,â€" 000 tons representing the entire volume of revenueâ€"bearing freight carried by Timmins Garage Co. Ltd.â€"Timmins Service Garageâ€"Ansonville It has been estimated that in 1934, $30,00€0,000 of the total payroll of the mining industry was spent for food stuffs, $10,000,000 for clothing, and $13,0006,000 for household equipment. The average annual wage in the Canâ€" adian metalâ€"mining industry is excelâ€" lentâ€"being approximately $1500.00. It exceeds the average of wages paid to employses in any other industry, not excepting even the Ford Motor Comâ€" pany. Figures compiled by the Bureau of Statistics clearly show that while most other ‘basic industries of Canada were suffering scverely during the depresâ€" sicn years the industry of mining metâ€" als largely escaped. They also illusâ€" trate many factors about this growing industry that have not been fully apâ€" preciated. As citizens of a nation which is or has been essentially agricultural we are only just now beginning to realâ€" ize the role we have assumed in the mining world. When I tell you that the Sudbury district alone had a metal production in the year 1935, the value of which was double that of the entire field crops in the whole province of Manitoba, you will readily understand why the part of metal mining in our economic life cannot, be overâ€"emphasizâ€" ed. The Hudson Bay Mining and Smeltâ€" ing Company at Flin Flon paid out in 1935 almost $6,300,000 for labour, fraight, supplies, and miscsllaneous purposes. Of this sum 94 per cent. was distributâ€" ed in .Canada. be mentioned. Hollinger Consolidated Gold Mines, Ltd., the great gold proâ€" ducer of the Porcupins camp, reports that in the year 1935 its payroll amounted to $5,000,000 and that its exâ€" penditures for materials, supplies, and sundries totalled $2,600,000. This money was practically all expended in Canada. International Nicke!l Company of Canada employs 2,744 men at a single mine, the Frood, near Sudbury. Its payroll at this mine alone is $360,000 monthly. It supports half the city of Sudbury, with its 30,000 population. Down this mine there go 1,900 railway carloads of timber yearly and 140 railâ€" way cars of ore come up each day. Vast quantities of other materials are used in this single large operation. This company bought 145,000 tons of coke and 225,000 tons of coal last year, all produced in Canada. foreign coal accounted for 35 per cent. ¢r 24,000,000 tons. This amount exâ€" ceeds that of agricultural and animal products combined by ayer 6,000,000 When reading about the pouring of a gold brick many people are unware of the concentrated effort and the high degree of operating efficiency that preâ€" ceded that interesting event. They fail to realize that the production of metals involves several stages, such as prosâ€" pecting, mining, milling, smelting, and refining, angq that a great number of industrial concerns throughout Canada have actually shared in the work before the final product of the mining indusâ€" try is garnsred. In a previous broadcast, referencs was mads to the widespread benefits of mining, how it supports the other priâ€" mary and secondary industries of Canâ€" ada. A few striking examples might The business of harvesting metals is not seasonable. It continues winter and summer, day and night, and proâ€" ;Ca)‘ L ,559 . vides the least interrupted and the most satisfactory employment in the Dominâ€" ion. It creates glutted, and noabnormâ€" al investment in railway rollingâ€"stock. Canadians may well be proud of the country‘s high ranking among the metâ€" alâ€"producing countries of the world. It stands first in the production of â€"_nicâ€" kel, first in platinum metals, sscond in zinc, third in gold, third in copper, third in silver, and fourth in lead. Though this is a remarkable record for a nation of about 11,000,000 population it 4s merely the forerunner of the. much greater to come. In this scries of broadcasts I have endeavoured to present the facts of past and present performances in the Canâ€" adian ‘mining industry. It will be reâ€" cognized that the records have bren very satisfactory; in fact, quite astonâ€" ishing in some respects when you conâ€" sider that Canada is just at the thresâ€" hold of its mining development. It is only during the last twonty years that serious efforts have, been directed toâ€" wards pushing northward our mineral frontier. Therefore, as I said earlier, it is to the future that Iadvise you to direct your attention. a Canada has the men with the ability to find and develop mines and to ssive the metallurgical problems incidental to the recovery of the mineral products this age demands. It has vast areas of geological structures that are favourâ€" able t-o\t-he occurrence of minerals. It has governments sympathetic and helpâ€" ful, which services invaluable to the prospector,. the miner, .and. the metallurgist. The federal and provinâ€" clal authorities are willing to assist in mapping and determining the geology of new areas and in advancâ€" ing the cause of those engaged in minâ€" ing activities. * The. vast prospect before us reminds ‘\ _A broken arm, suffered in a realisti¢c scene in "Carmen" doesn‘t stop Rosa Ponselle, opera star, from singing.
