Average Gain of Four and Lley Weight Seems to Indicate Boys Activities Somewhat Curtailed. Despite the fact that there was alâ€" most continual rain, continued the reâ€" port, the pericd was a suczessf1:; one and the boys did little complaining alâ€" though their outdoor activities were considerably curtailed. The water was too cold for sSwimming, and as the result, only about nall a dozen boys learned. However, many fishing, exploration and berry picking trips were taken. The boys have taken up first aid as a hobby, and there was much activity in track and field sports.

Fools and Forest Fires Featured Felicitously "The season for fools and forest fires is here," says the Montreal Star. "A stretch of rainless, hot weather has left the forests across Canada like dry kindling, ready to send up roaring flames at a touch of fire. And so the fool has his chance. He can flitk a match into a patch of grass as he walks by, and start a fire that will eat up ssores of square miles of standing timâ€" ber. He can toss a burning cigarette aside, and a little later the spruce trees around will be exploding with roars as the fire sweeps through ‘the bush. Or he can leave smouldering ashes under the camp fire he thought was out, and wonder that evening where the cloud of smoke in the sky is coming from. "The forest projection services in this province and in the rest of Canada have done tremendously valuable work in organizing means Oof fighting the menace of fire, and in educating the public. And, of course, many of the fires are set by nature and not by man. But people who go in or near the woods should tryâ€" toâ€" train themselves to be ever more careful.

When a dog theft case came next on the docket of more than sixty scheduled cases one legal luminary remarked. "Its a dog‘s life and these are dog days. Bring it The case revolved around a canine that was, in the owner‘s words, "clipped like a lion". People in court expected to see a huge, savage, shaggy animal trundled into court. their surprise translated itself into chuckles when a fawnâ€"colored animal about the size of a mediumâ€"sized rabbit was brought into court. A. Ethier charged Mrs. Plorence Leâ€" with the theft of the animal. He lost it after buying it for his small son, he said. Hearing that Mrs. Lebrun had his dog he went to see her and was met with the accusation that he had stolen the dog and besides it was hers all the time. When he went back with a Provinâ€" cial policeman they were met at the door with savage words and a refusal to return the animal. Provincial Conâ€" stable Strickland admitted that the things Mrs. Lebrun called him and Ethier were hardly endearing terms. He attributed her choice of language to the fact that "she had had a few drinks". Finally, said Ethier, he got the dog on a search warrant. Constable Strickâ€" land said that he was convinted the dog belonged to Ethier because it made straight for him when released. Magistrate Atkinson dismissed the charge when Mrs. Lebrun agreed to lst Ethier have his canine. fault from McDowell; O‘Gorman deâ€" feated McCoy; Leaman defeated Stock; Sullivan won by default from Atkins, and Weir won by default from Woodâ€" bury.
