was so badly cut that a number of
stitehes were required to close the
wound.

The MacLean home is more than
a hundred miles trom the nearest
doctor and the road was impassable
in places. The plucky girl consentea
to a most painful form of first aid at
home.

Jean’s father, Donald McLean,
fashioned a suitable needle, and Jean,
without an opiate, submitted to the
painful ordeal of
stitches put in to close a gash extend-
ing from one corner of her mguth to

having several

her cheek.

Jean’s elder sister, who was home
on holidays from Kamloops, where
she is a student nurse, performed the
operation.

Miss MacLean’s face is healing up
nicely. There will be little or no scar
left when the wound is completely
healed. ;

When amateur taxidexmist Merle Moore, seen above, of Spring-

death with blows on the lead from his strong beak, he found two-

dozen quills embedded
ently the owl had atta:
result one of the quills, sticking

the head and body of the bird
orcupines at various times and as a

Appar-

in the bird’s head, was pressing

against the vital nerve, ciusing the ow] to go mad with a lust for

killing bigger animals.

The owl fully grown, with a wing spread of

over four feet, weighed about four pounds, two pounds lighter
than the cat he was trying to fly away with.

FLYING SAUCERS
IN THE CHILCOTIN?

Many residents have’ reported see-
ing strange objects in the sky. Are
these flying saucers? The general
opinion is that they are large orange
discs — some say with handles like
a ‘sugar bow] — others say with a
small light at one side but all agre>
that they travel at a terrific rate of
speed and are generally seen in the
west toward Bull Canyon.

First ones were seen around New
Year’s and your reporter took that
with a “grain of salt,” mentally
marking them down as too much
celebrating, but as reports keep com-
ing in of people seeing them, we are
beginning to wonder what is afloat
oyer our fair country.
