French Fishermen First
To Explore Newfoundland

Newfoundland was already well
known and frequented by French
fishermen when Cartier headed
there first. He came too early in
the spring, though, and had trouble
with icebergs. Sailing on, he mis-
took Magdalen and Prince Edward
islands (now British) for the main
coast, and so travelled north, explor-
ing every harbor and bay.
A mirage led Cartier to believe
that one large river mouth to which
he came was bay, and he wasted
much time trying to map this sup
posed harbor.
Cartier made friends with some
Huron-1roquois Indians and kid
naped two to take back to France.
These Indians told him he was in
the Kingdom of Canada" though
Canada" was their word for Evil
lage."
The next year Cartier did his bit
for history by discovering and NAM
ing the st. Lawrence bay and St.
Lawrence river. He went up the
river as far as the present city of
Montreal. Returning to the coast he
prepared to winter there, but soon
his men came down with scurvy.
Out of ITO men more than Is died,
and fewer than 10 were untouched
by the epidemic. At last the Indi-
ans gave Cartier a cure for the
disease.
Carriers third trip was an I'M
successful attempt to colonize the
new land he had discovered Che
thought it was northeastern Asia).
Some historians say he made
fourth trip after that. The last 10
years of his life Cartier spent in st.
Malo, acting as technical adviser to
other expeditions and as a Portu-
guese interpreter.

u. S. Road Bureau Studies
Trucks as Hill Climbers

The hill climbing ability of trucks
of a variety of makes and sizes is
being studied by the Federal Bu-
reau of Public Roads. This study is
preliminary to improved highway
design.
Each half revolution of bicycle
wheel mounted on the front of the
test trucks is indicated on a strip
of paper moving through a record
ing device inside the truck. At the
same time, 10-second intervals are
indicated on the record by
clock with recording device. Dis
tances travelled by the truck are
computed from the diameter Of
the bicycle wheel. Knowing the dis
lance travelled in any number of
seconds, it is easy to compute speed
accurately.
The trucks are given various
loads and tested on grades ranging
from 3 to 7 per cent. For each
combination of load and grade the
maximum speed that can be sus-
tanned is determined.
A number of remedies for hazards
on grades have been suggested,
says the bureau. These include
lessening the grade and increasing
sight distance, constructing third
lane for slow-moving vehicles and
requiring all vehicles to be able to
maintain a specified minimum
speed. The bureau plans to study
all phases Of the problem in forming
its conclusions.

East Pine

The Arna Community club met
Tuesday night of last week for the
first time since June. The business
meeting was used principally to dis
cuss the recent Markville fair and
to make suggestions for another such
fair next year. One good suggestion
was to enlarge its scope so as to take
in all of this part of the county, with
possibility of alternating with Clover
ton. The main event of the program
was an extremely interesting account
of Paul Pahos' visit at the New York
Worlds fair. Following the program
lunch was served in the lunch room
of the school.
The Markville Presbyterian Ladies'
Aid served a fried chicken supper
in the church basement last Thurs
day night. There was fine turnout
when the folks of the community got
a Whit of that fried chicken aroma.
The society held business meeting
at the home of Mrs. Howard Monday
afternoon of this week.
Mrs. Albert Mostad and daughter,
Shirley, have been visiting at the
Monson home the past week.
Wednesday evening of each week
the basement of the Markville Pres
byterian church is open to anyone
who is interesting in gathering for
fun. A number of games have been
loaned for the purpose and large
number are enjoying these evenings
together. The hours have been set
at from p. m. to p. m. for the bene-
fit of school pupils who will not be
kept out too late.
Mr.. and Mrs. Yanda, who have
been visiting relatives in New York
state, returned home last Thursday
They report fine and enjoyable trip.
An item that should have been in
last weeks paper was that a bridal
shower was given at the Charles
Halsted home in Cloverton Friday
afternoon, Sept. l, in honor of Miss
Phyllis Gamble of Sandstone. A large
group of Miss CANDLES Cloverton
friends was present and presented
her with many fine gifts.
Rev. and Mrs. A. E. Mclean and
Paul Babcock left Monday morning
to attend the fall meeting of the
Presbytery at Big Fork.

Chinchillas Like Vegetables

Chinchillas do practically all their
eating early in the evening and dur
ing the night. In captivity, there
fore, they are usually fed once
daily, late in the afternoon. Fresh
water should be available to them
at all times. Their ordinary food
consists mainly of vegetable mat
ter. They are fond of rolled oats,
rolled wheat, dried bread, whole
corn and wheat-germ meal. They
will thrive on these grain foods if
an abundance of green food also is
given, such as alfalfa hay, lettuce,
lawn clippings, dandelions, carrots
and any kind of weeds, which they
consume readily.

Early Violin History

The first decade of Antonio
Stradivari's greatest period dawned
with 100. The Amati tradition was
slowly but surely discarded, and
while adhering to the 14-inch length,
he so developed and arched his
model that it assumed "unsurpass-
able grandeur and symmetry" The
years following ITO undoubtedly
ushered in production of some of the
finest instruments, and also marked
production of some of the finest vio-
loncellos. His methods, preserved
from century to century, have be-
come the basis for the art of violin
making.

New York Goldfish

On New York's Lower East Side,
where there is constant demand
for carp, shipped to the market alive
in tank cars, gigantic goldfish are
now being sold, the National Wild
life federation reports. These fish
are the descendants of fancy aquari-
UNI specimens that were released in
Lake Michigan after the Worlds fair
in 1898, it is believed. They are es-
pecially numerous in Lake Erie, are
netted in large quantities by COM
mercial fishermen and closely re-
semble the common carp.

High School Cagers Edged By Taller
Outfit In Tournament Tilt. 32-30

Bluffton Highs plucky cagers play
ed brilliant ball in their opening tour
nament assignment at Carey on. last
Thursday night, but a pronounced ad-
vantage in height and few FORUM
ate breaks in the closing minutes of
play gave Lucas 80 to 80 victory
over the Pirates.
Lucas came to the tournament with
a team that had four regulars well
over six feet, and the fifth was near
that mark.
So powerful is the attack of the
Richland county crew that in their
second start last Saturday night, they
conquered Fostoria st. Wendelin's
easily, running up more than so
points. AS matters stand now, Lucas
looms with Carey as the tournament
favorite.
With few fortunate breaks in the
waning seconds of the contest Bluff
ton might have emerged victorious,
but Fate decreed otherwise, dashing
the Pirates hopes for trip to Column
bus.
For the first time this year person
al fouls ruled against the locals, Lu-
cas- getting only IL field goals, as
compared with Bluffton's IL. The
victors had 10 successful free throws,
however, and Bluffton but six.
Plucky play kept the determined
Pirates in the thick of the scrap all
the way despite the wide advantage
in height.
| Lucas led at the close of the first
quarter, 10 to 7; but Bluffton rallied
in the second period to go out in front
at halftime 16 to Is.
In the third quarter Lucas ran its
total to 81 points before the Pirates
could score, and the taller outfit had
the edge at the quarter gun % to %.
Bluffton went out in front, "a to %,
at the outset of the fourth quarter,
but Lucas came back to lead, 26 to
"a, and 28 to 25. Bluffton's last bid
came when the Pirates knotted the
count at 2S-all, but Lucas retaliated
with another fielder and kept out in
front until the coIse of the contest.

points each and the.latter with tot
