FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR 1956- WBT lust in the Snow One day I decided to take a camping trip into the mountains near my home, with Arthur, my St. Bernard. IYe set off with the dog attached to a sleigh. On the sleigh I had a camping outfit, food, and a great many flasks of water, in case we should come across anyone overcome by the snow. Of course, I took plenty of extra clothes, blankets, and so forth. At the end ofa day's trip, with no adventures, we stopped and camped. In the middle of the night, I heard a moaning sound. I roused myself, took a flashlight, and looked around. In a few minutes, I found my visitor, who told me how, that night, in the snowstorm, he had lost his companion, and had himself been buried in the snow. The next day, after showing my visitor where he was, we started off again, and only travelled a few miles, before another storm arose. Immediately, I built a strong tent, and went to sleep. As soon as it dawned, we set out as usual, but in the middle of the day, a violent blizzard sprang up. I tried in vain to make a protection, but it was useless. At five o'clock, to my dismay, I couldn't see a sign of Arthur. In a few seconds, I found myself struggling in the snow. I called and called for my guardian, but he never appeared. I lay there, a poor man, being buried in the snow, my dog not beside me, as he should have been. I stayed there all night, and in the morning I found myself lying beside my own fireside, with my loving dog, Arthur, bending over me. I had apparently been unconscious, and while in that state, Arthur had dragged me home. I had only been dreaming that my dog was lost. E I This story shows what a St. Bernard dog can do.

SliI,W'YN HOUSE SCHOOI. MAGAZINE The life of a Zfanrse Nigger is my name and I am one of the ponies who work in the hlclntyre Gold hlines at Timmins, Ontario. There are eight of us to a shift: three shifts in the twenty- four hours, because gold mines are worked both day and night. Ours is the only mine in this district where ponies are used. l'nlike the ponies in the coal mines of Nova Scotia, we are not blind, but wide-eyed, and see everything there is to see. W'hen the other ponies go down into the mine, they never come up until they die and they go blind from lack of using their eyes. We are very healthy. The elevator that we go up and down in is a double-decker and can hold sixteen men in each deck. The elevator is made of metal, but the shafts are of wood which are kept moist all the time as a fire protection. Fight of us fill one deck. W'e are backed in: This is because, occasionly, one of us is nervous about walking into it and we make a fuss over it. The elevator is operated from above ground. W'hen you get in, you say to what level you are going and you are taken there at a breath-taking pace. The mine is worked at 11,000 ft., but we are only taken to the 3,000 ft. level. We pull the little trains which carry the ore, much more stone than ore, of course. One day, when I was pulling a ton of ore and stone, I heard the manager say that there was il lot of ore in it' about five dollars worth of it. This is good enough to make it worth-while to work it. Sometimes we are allowed to see a gold brick poured. This is wonderful. :X gold brick, the size of an ordinary brick, is worth S50,000, that is at 535. an ounce. Before it hardens, a small scoop is taken out to be sent to Ottawa to prove its purity, because, as Shakespeare says, all that glisters is not gold. Iiveryone is kind to us and I am one of the favourites. We are not always good. We have been known to upset a miner's lunch basket and to eat all his lunch, the apples were especially good. We are sometimes taken to the place where the tailings are deposited. Tailings are what is left of the stone after the gold is taken out. Until very recently, the tailings were thrown into the lakes and rivers, but now this is forbidden, as the clayey substance filled them up. Once, we went to see the Hollinger tailings. This is a show place, as they have one and a quarter square miles, part of it eighty ft. high, with a three car drive round the top of it. The things most feared by the miners and by us, while underground, are fire, water and earth, in this order. Our mine is lighted by electricity as are all modern mines, now. The miners and we carry lights on our heads. These are carefully fitted. W'e carry batteries that last ten hours. My life is splendid. T am very happy. W'.G.NI.S., Clform IYJ. ISI

After the World War the policy of disarmament was adopted by the Great Powers with the results which we all know - the present rearmament race. :X policy of disarmament, if adopted and followed by the major countries of the world, would undoubtedly reduce the risks of warg but there are always countries like Germany which, when no-one is looking, will turn and start to re-arm, thus we see the real reason why disarmament is likely to fail, - the inherent distrust of some great nations for one another. The government of Great Britain seems to believe the maxim which forms the title of this article, judging by the immense sum of S7,500,000,000 which is the defence estimate for the next live years fsubject to increasel. The nearly -10,000,000 dollars which Canada is preparing to spend looks very small in comparison, but there are many people in Canada who claim that the country does not need more armanents, and the arguments put forth by these people are: - What are the armaments for ? .-Xre they to protect Canada from a foreign power F And, il so, what power P Are they to protect Canada from the States ? If so, they are surely useless, as it is hardly conceivable that any sum of money which Canada is able to spend on armaments would enable her to protect a 3,500 mile border from a country with a population over ll times as large as that of Canada, and of far superior armaments. Or thirdly, are these armaments to enable Canada to help England in a war occurring at some future time F Surely no foreign power is going to attack Canada when the linited States would help us, preferring us to a possibly antagonistic country as a neighbour. llfll
