Local voyagers
On Canada Trip
Continued from Page II

CONTINUED from Page ID
some of the boats reached point
some 80 miles above Revelstoke.
At this picturesque town they
were guests at the famous Revel-
stoke ski lodge.
On the return trip the same
night stops were made At Nakusp,
local residents had prepared
dancing party for the voyagers.
They reached Lincoln again at
GAS on the evening Of Saturday,
July %.
II wouldn't have missed the
trip for anything in the world"
Mr.. Hunt said after his return.
1T was a wonderful experience
and ! wouldn't hesitate to recon-
mend the trip to anyone wishing
the best in boating"
He modestly admitted that his
companions on the trip had said
that his boat made the journey
the best Of any Of them. Cruisers
and speed boats were in the line
up, all from Inland Empire points.
One boat was lost when il ex-
ploded as they were preparing to
leave Revelstoke and quickly
burned.
Other than that there were no
accidents of any kind and Mr..
Hunt expressed satisfaction on
that point. It was remarkable
he said, that with SO many boats,
most of which had not been used
on rivers, that this record was
made.
He also remarked on the fine
reception accorded them at the
Canadian stopping points. An es-
pecially hearty welcome was given
them at Trail, on the northward
journey. They were met with
a band and a group Of Royal Navy
sailors who escorted them to the
town.

To save evaporation Of soil
waters. q dust mulch "a loose top
layer one to two inches deep is
good standby. For this get set of
weed knives or q sweep attach
ment for your wheel hoe. or use q
scufile hoe. Some prefer one Of the
long-handled cultivators with bent
teeth which pull through the top soil
easily and let it fall back in loose,
pulverized layer completely de-
tached from the solid soil beneath.
Wedding is no extra chore when
you maintain q dust mulch. Even
moderate showers can penetrate it
to the advantage Of the roots below.
Raking or scuffle-hoeing between
the rows must be done after each
rain, and once every 10 days where
there is much traffic, as along the
rows Of bush beans and among the
sweet corn and tomatoes. Shallow
stirring like this Injuries no roots
and spruces up the gardens.

One OF the many war jobs assigned
70 the familiar transparent Aim finds
cellophane in the form of q gas pro-
tective cover. for use by our armed
forces in case the enemy should re-
sort to gas. Several OF these cape.
like covers are issued to each man
and woman in the overseas forces

BY poisonous gases; and each SOL
dier's cover equipment uses a.
much cellophane as is required to
wrap l.450 packages Of cigarettes.
When Il Is recalled that gas casu-
alties In the First World war are re-
ported to have reached substantial
totals, Il can well be seen why our
government has left no stone I'm.
turned to provide our invasion
forces with every possible pro-
lection against the use Of gas.
The garment is not q substitute
for q gas mask which. incidentally,
Il also wrapped in cellophane until

fine spray Of blistering gases, such
~ mustard. from touching the skin.
clothing and equipment Of the fight
ing men. the doctors. nurses and
other exposed personnel.
A special type Of cellophane was
chosen by the army's chemical war
fare service because It proved to be
more impermeable to the poisonous
gases than any other lightweight
transparent material. The cover il
dependable, 10 thrown away after q
gas attack and new ones issued.
