Mountain Climbing De Luxe Climbers Use Motor Boats To Approach Mountains More climbs will be accomplished this year by members of the Cana- dian Alpine Club from their camp at Maligne Lake than from any other previous camp, it is predicted by T.

This is a circumstance which leads me to believe that this season will be a record one for the number of climbs made from our camp. Here we can go to the foot of almost any° mountain we want to climb, It is the first time that the Alpine Club has been able to use water transportation, Fae Organ In Nova Scotia Hotel Magnificent Instrument Is Installed In New O.N.R.

Hope For the Blind Work Of Royal Commission May Prove Of Great Help To Sightless The blind’ people of Manitoba and Saskatchewan are looking with much eagerness to the recommendations of the royal commission now inyesti- gating their situation, said D. Bax- ter Lawley, worker among the blind and without vision himself, who tes- tified before the commission on as- sistance given to blind people in the British Isles, Mr. Lawley, who comes from near Manchester, is a notable example of 4 man who has mastered the disad- vantages and sorrow that followed the losing of his vision, and now is an enthusiastic and capable worker in the interest of those who are handicapped by blindness in the fight for existence. In December, 1913, he was blinded in a dynamite explosion in a gold mine at Headley, B.C. Sensitive of his weakness, overcome, almost despairing of the future, Mr. Lawley passed through Winnipeg during June, 1914, on his way to the Old Country. He tells how, unable to find his way around, afraid to grope in the darkness into which he had sud- denly been plunged, he travelled for six days and seven nights on.a diet of sardines and crackers. Seeking the aid of specialists on his arrival in England, he studied Braille in hospital, and learned to read classic Greek in Braille. In 1915 he gained a realization of the plight of blind people, and he threw himself vigorously into an effort to improve their sad lot. He became as- sociated with the late Sir Arthur Pearson, Bart., and was ful Recipes For This Week (By Betty Barclay) Abolish Civic Income Tax City Of Saskatoon To Do Away With Imposition This Year The city income tax will not be Imposed in Saskatoon this year. At the last session of the provincial legislature an amendment to the City Act provided that the levying of the tax would be optional, but any coun- cil deciding not to impose the tax would have to indicate its intention early in the year. Mayor John W. Hair, who has long been opposed to this tax, recently de- clared that it would never be levied as long as he had any say in the matter. He did not believe that any city had the necessary machinery to collect income tax, and further he contended that it was far from equit- able. The exemptions were not con- sidered fair. In addition to the mayor most of the members of council are opposed ry this form of ee having repeated- DUCK AND ORANGE SALAD (Serves 6-8) cups cold duck cut in smal) pieces. oranges. cup salad oil. tablespoon lemon juice. teaspoon salt. teaspoon pepper. teaspoon paprika.

Later he became an official and later “president for two years of the National League of the Blind, in Great Britain and Ireland, and was | one of the leaders of the famous march to-London, in April, 1920, of 250 blind men from Manchester, Leeds and Newport. They inter- viewed the leaders of the then coal- ition cabinet, and were successful eventually in securing substantial re- lief for blind people. In 1923 he met Philip Layton, Mon- treal, a noted blind philanthropist, founder of the Canadian National In- stitute for the Blind and of the Mon- treal school for the blind, with whom he carried on a correspondence for a number of years which eventually led to an invitation from Mr. Layton to come to Canada to engage in re- lief effort for the blind people of the Dominion. His home is now in Tor- onto. He is in Winnipeg assisting A. B. Howe, a local colleague, in connec- tion with the investigations of the joint commission that is investigat- ing’ the status of the blind in Mani- toba and Saskatchewan. Discussing the work of the com- mission, Mr. Lawley satd he had been much impressed with its progress thus far, and was convinced that it could not have been undertaken at a better time, Its findings would have an effect on every province in Can- ada, and eventually would influence the Federal Government.

O. Houba, of Ta- coma, Wash., in a speech before the first international Microbiology Con- gress at Paris. Dr. HOuba said he had succeeded in isolating the goitre germ during experiments conducted over a period of five years, and that he had proved that it was possible to cure cases with vaccine if caught in their early stages.

Soap must be made, says the So- viet, from cats and dogs, too. One cat, boiled down, gives five ounces of fat, one dog more than a pound. The dead pets and slain pests of the community in general will yield, it is estimated, 5,000 tons of fat for soap.

Strawberry Baths Fruit Now Being Used For Beauty Culture In Europe + Demand for strawberries is greater in Europe this season than for many years because so much of the fruit is being used for beauty culture. Not only is it being applied in beauty parlors, but strawberry baths are taken in private homes. The idea was taken from the chronicles about Madame Tallien,"a noted beauty or her day, who was said to take every morning a bath in which 20 pounds of strawberries were crushed. The bather emerged with “a skin freshly perfumed, soft as velvet and tinted with a delicate pink,” according to the chronicles.

Great Britain has retained a full share of world trade throughout the period of depression, he stated, and because of labor resiliency, has actu- ally fared better than many other nations.

These units will form part of the exten- sive system controlled by the De- partment of the Interior, which in- cludes stations at Edmonton, Fort Smith, Resolution, Simpson, Aklavik. Dawson and Mayo. In this huge network there was a stretch of over 800 miles between Simpson and Aklavik, and it was found that this was too great a for and unint rupted service. The establishment of the station at Norman, about mid- way between Simpson and Aklavik, will greatly improve conditions. The new station will also be of valuable to the tly ed airmail service. Moreover, Nor- man is an important strategic point, Standing as it does at the Junction of the Mackenzie and Great Bear Riv- ers, and dominating the western area of Great Bear Lake where there is much activity in prospecting for min- erals. Another important fact about Norman is that it is on the shortest trail to Coronation Gulf the Coppermine, the region that is now the of infl a mining companies and prospectors. The stations at Coppermine, in the heart of the Canadian Arctic, and at Chesterfield, on Hudson Bay, will be of very great benefit to the adminis- trative and medical services, to trap- pers, prospectors, missionaries, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, tra- ders, and others whose duties take them to these remote regions.
