The rumbling bomload of diesel towboats passing the house in the night with all lights aglow brings up from long ago other night -watches, which although of no special note, do allow some recollections for comparison with things past and present. The first night work I ran into -was in the mountains, a 10-hour shift setup. It was the spiral tunnel job at Field for the C.P.R. when It was well on its way to finishing. There the shift changed every two veeks. Most of the unfortunates on shift had to work the 20 hours to make shifts fit in. The grub situation was poor, and was hauled up by mules on a sled in the winter and the flunkeys re- cooked the hash and boiled the tea water. The crews would come out of the tunnel and crowd into the thaw house, mostly stand up, clothes would thaw out and everybody start smoking as soon as they ate. Most likely there would be 30 or 40 cases of dynamite and loaded primers thawing out too, but no-" fcody seemed to care. Safety first was conspicuous by its absence. Another 10-hour shift phase of feeding, if it was too far to walk in, the old logging camp style of send^ ing grub out to the woods and have an open fire to make tea, and a roof of shakes to keep dry under. The larger camps with a railroad would run the train in at noon, and the unholy scramble to stuff oneself in about 20 minutes-and get back en the train on the run was surely tough titty. on food for him, so another milkman gets bitten. In sharp contrast the slap-happy The iaUndryman meets the house- shifts and the snug little galleys on holder and walks off with a bundle the tugboats with coffee always on of laundry on his shoulder. How tap will be long remembered. I is the poor dog to know that it liked some of the ingenious con- isn't the family silver or the miss- trap tions for passing coffee into the ; ing body, so he takes no chances [dark pilot house. It was a bit eerie and another laundryman is added ! to see a mug of coffee coming to the list of bitten men. So whether you meet the dog owner or are even introduced to the dog, dogs will be dogs, and will have their piece of leg without worrying about your occupation. Of course most dogs may be agin the Government and on the principal that a Postman is a Government representative say "the hell with it" and bite. round in front of your face with no visible means of support. On some boats it would materialize through the floor with hearty condemnation of all and sundry in any way connected with ships and the sea. The hardy loggers don't all drink tea, or coffe either. We were in Nogales channel one time waiting for a hand logger to finish off two sections, and his wife invited us in for dinner. No tea or coffee but a dissertation on the Armageddon, hellfire, and the false prophets. I still believe the dinner was gospel bait. ,' Log towing of course has always been a 24-hour job, being dependent on weather conditions, and after tying up behind S.E. rock at Trail Islands for a Week or so a little impatience to get away may be tolerated. The graveyard shift in the woods due to fire hazard is about the daddy of them all. If it started and kept right on it would not be so bad. but this off again on again is really hard to bear. Brealcfast at 2:30 a.m. and dinner at 8 a.m., and home to supper at 1 p.m. or thereabouts, and what Joe's wife thinks about it if they have school children is far better imagined than described. Then the weather turns wet and the deal is off again. If there is a bad spell in August it is already getting dark at 3:30 a.m. and you have to wait for daylight to see what to be at. That is the time though to see the fire flying off the running lines and realize what would happen if the humidity was at flash point.

CAMPERS BEFRIEND ROBIN We know very little of the habits of birds, and quite a good deal about the habits of many children, so we were glad that the baby robin that either strayed from its nest or had the misfortune to lose its parents, happened to come to vest among the tiny campers of Stratford. The little bird hopped unconcernedly from one child to another as they supped on the beach, 'gathering here a little, there a little' and taking in an unbelievable amount of food. Tf little birds suffer from indigestion this little fellow should have had a bad night. He approached each tiny hand with his head thrown back and beak wide open. Twice he was taken back to the woods for it was feared he might be stepped on. and twice he returned and resumed his begging. The ,$64 question is, was the bird very young, or is there insanity among wild life, too?

That's what Guy Cuthbert of Sechelt found. He caught the nicest salmon of his season's fishing, ���a spring weighing 28% lbs., but��� three days early for the Derby! The following exerpts from the report of the Public Health Nursing Service 'for Sechelt School District No. 46, for the year June 15th, 1954, will give a concrete Idea of the work being done 'in the way of prevention of disease in our area. The service consists 'of Control of communicable Disease by im- ���munizatibn, quarantine, isolation, and teaching. Child Health for 'infants and pre-school children is aided by monthly clinics, 'for child" growth, 'development and nutrition. School Health is constantly watched, routine examination of the children, referral where 'indicated to Child Guidance Clinic, Health Center, and CNIB. Here, the PHN, the Health Officer and the Teacher all play a part. - Tuberculosis Con'trol by finding, education, supervision, and treatment as recommended. At present there are ninety 'known cases in the area, of iwhom 74 are arrested cases, and, or treated. There are 12 cases in hospital, 'and 4 at home, pending treatment and, or Reccom: imendation's. Venereal Disease Control is by finding and referring case's for treatment. Services performed were: Home Visits: 717, of these 278 were for streptomycin injections to conva 1 e s c !i n! g Tuberculosi's patients, Infant and Pre-School Clinics: Total Attendance 736. j Smallpox Vaccinations by Medical Health Officer: 40 (exclusive of v'acc i na t'ions given privately in Doctors' offices); Tnnoculations for Diphtheria, Whooping Cough and Tetanus: 428. In the Schools: Total enrollment, 926: Pupils examined by MHO: 315; by PON: 590. Smallpox Vaccinations by MHO: 193. Tnnoculations by Nurse: 328. It is stressed that these serious 'communicable illnesses still 'occur, if not in our continent, in others. Due to present methods and use of transportation, ours has become a very small world. The report from which these exerpts have been - 'taken was made by Mrs. Clara Nygren, PHN stationed at Gibsons. !" : Banking Hours: Commencing July 31st, 1954, the Bank of Montreal in Gibsons will be closed each Saturday, to give the staff the benefit of the five-day week.
