Sheltered and fed through babyhood by his human friend, the little animal is reluctant to return to his own people. But, when he does, Grey Owl is adopted by the entire beaver tribe. A flap of his paddle on the water, a whistle in the woods and the shy creatures hurry to him, confident of his friendship.

But when he climbs five thousand feet toward the clouds and finds there a shadowy alpine lake teeming with trout, something very odd happens to the heart-beat of even the most hardened angler. Perhaps it’s only caused by the high altitude. Or perhaps it is the majestic beauty of the scenery. More probably it is from the realization that five thousand feet up in the Canadian Rockies brings one not only to the lovely shores of Maligne Lake, but very close to Fisherman’s Heaven.

Peut-etre est-ce a cause de l’altitude elevee…c’est peut notre aussi en raison de la majestueuse grandeur du decor.

Great herds were decimated until the monarch of the plains faced total extinction. Railroads crossed his once-free range. Ta;; cities rose to the skies from his feeding grounds. In all the West there was no room for him. Then a tract of land was set aside as a sanctuary and the herds came back. A dramatic, swift-moving story of the shaggy beasts of the prairie, of Indians and covered wagons, of death through man’s greed, of the growth of the West and the RETURN OF THE BUFFALO in new-found security to the lands of his ancestors.

11/44 | 27 | B-668 | BACK IN ‘14 | A page from actual history which will stir the memories of thousands of Canadians. It is a vivid portrayal of the transition between the first and last halves of the year 1914, in which a country at peace is transformed into a nation of warriors. It shows revealing glimpses of the life and people and the work that was being done…like digging the Welland Canal, the Hamilton Highway. Then came August 3rd, and Canadians are seen recruiting, being drilled and trained in the grim business of war, and leaving for France. It is a picture of a year that few of that generation will ever forget.

The Roman soldier fought the Greek arrow and javelin with a short stubby sword, while the knight in armour carried one six feet long. Today it is against the law to settle a POINT OF HONOUR with the sword but duelling through the centuries forms a romantic background for the thrilling sport of fencing.
