PROFESSOR’S TRISECTING
ANGLE

Inquiries among mathematicians re-
veal that the world of science looks
forward with the keenest interest to
the publication of the trisection of an
angle by plane geometry accomplished
by the Very Rev. Joseph J. Callahan,
C©.S.Sp., president of Duguesne Univer-
sity, Pittsburgh. Because this problem
has always escaped solution hereto-
jfore, the announcement of this suc-
cess has stirred scientists in many
fields.

INFORMATION BUREAU

Invariably small town printing offices
are looked upon as a sort of Information
Bureau. An accommodation for trav-
elers and others, many of whom drive
up with a regular barrage of questions,
how far is it to so and so? where are
the police offices? where can I find Mr
Jones or Bill Smith? and a hundred
and one other questions.

Enquiries regarding the town and
district are sought very frequently
through the newspaper office. Corres-
pondence in this respect often come

ee

addressed to “the Newspaper”, and are
written with various degr2es of literacy.

The following letter received at the
ote office this week speaks for

Some of our readers will probably
ask “Where is the news in the above
letter?” which reminds us of an ad-
dress on “News and its value”, which
we heard at a Press Convention. The
speaker was one of Canada’s finest
news and editorial writers, “News”, ne
Said “was something out of the ordin-
ary—for instance if a dog bites a man
it is no news, because dogs are biting
men all the time; but if a man bites a

Reflections of An Old-Timer

As I waited for the fish man this
morning with his choice of all sorts of
smoked fish, pink salmon, cod and
halibut, 1 turn back the years forty
(40) of them and think, how lucky we
fare these days of civilization with our
fish meat and groceries right at our
front door. Forty years ago we
fish every day, but how we got it.
There were no roads then, just trails
‘o where we had erected a dam in the
Salmon River, those were the days of
plenty, if one had the vitality to stand
the walking and carrying of a heavy
‘oad between the river and home. As
( was saying, we would start out in
the morning with our net of gunny
sack and poles stretched across the end
of the dam, and before you knew it
here gleaming in the sun would be 100
‘bs. or more of the loveliest trout you
ever set eyes on. Once in two weeks
ve made our trip for fish and didn’t
ve enjoy those trout fried over a little
‘ire on the river bank before our hike
back.

Late afternoon would see us back
lome again, with our two weeks supply
4 fish.

Today I order my groceries by use
‘f a telephone and before night they
we delivered. To you younger genera-
fon forty years may seem a long time,
nut to me it has been a very short
ime since I arose at 4.30 to harness my
eam of oxen to start on a sixteen hour
journey to Fort Langley and back for
groceries. The night before my neigh-
ors (three of them) would bring their
ist of supplies so that there would be
no delay in the morning. as I
ook at the roads of today I fancy I see
the old wagon trail, in places grass-
3rown on either side, while \over top
the giant fir trees and branches met
together forming a tunnel for miles.

ind carry the provisions across to the
other side, a few delays like this would
mean losing hours on the homeward
journey.

Well I remember the time when we
had but a blazed trail to the Fort along
what is known now as the Brown road,
when the Rey. Dunn was on his
home from our place and on the
in front of him stood a huge cat, its
tail waving angrily, there was nothing
to do but go on, and so, staring right
straight at the cat, he advanced grad-
