Fiddled Across Canada To Pay Ocean Voyage (Canadian Press.) MONTREAL, Nov. Carter, wandering piper and fiddler, sails tomorrow aboard the Duchess of York to native England, his ticket bought with coppers and silver earned during his travels across Canada. This little bearded man, looking more than the 60 years he claims, estimates he received 10,000 coppers during the last seven years. His proud boast is that he never went hungry in that time, though he travelled across his adopted land from Atlantic to Pacific coast.

An orphan, he came to Canada in 1900 and settled on a farm near Russell, Man. Carter hired out as a farm laborer and for many years toiled on the Prairies, playing a fiddle or pipes at every opportunity. He was located on a little plot of ground near Star City, in 1929 but was burned out. Then he decided to see this Canada he had lived in so long and, taking his fiddle, started to play his way through the West. His travels finally brought him to Timmins, where he struck it rich and made $100 in no time.

He got 2,000 coppers 1 in Kirkland Lake and Timmins. The strange part is that Carter has only enough money to reach England.

Evening Citizen's District Staff Prepare an Interesting Feature There is much interesting information bound up in the names of some of the towns and villages of this district.

Many of the communities were founded a century and more ago; with the passing of the years the circumstances surrounding the names have become almost entirely unknown to the present generation. The Evening Citizen's staff of correspondents in the district are eager to re-write these stories into the records. Many of the narratives have already been prepared. They will appear every Saturday for some weeks, commencing with the issue of the 21st inst. Most people hereabout are aware that Bytown received its name from Col.

By, a British engineer sent out by the Imperial government when construction of the Rideau canal was commenced in 1826, but who were the personages or what the circumstances that suggested Vankleek Hill, Calabogie, Pakenham or Perth? What British nobleman suggested the name of Osgoode? What were the historic incidents that led to Arnprior being named after an ancient Scottish house? Why was Clothier's Mill changed to Kemptville? Who would ever suppose that the substantial city of Brockville was once known as "Snarlington" and why was it changed? This will all be told by the Irish Volunteers Leave For Spain To Join Fascists (Associated Press.) DUBLIN, Nov. men, led by Col. Thomas Carew, left Dublin tonight for Liverpool en route to Spain to join the insurgents fighting there. The group was reported to be the advance guard for General Eoin O'Duffy's "Irish Brigade." No clue was given to the departure plans of the main body of 2,000 men O'Duffy is said to have enlisted in his brigade, but it was reliably learned a proposal to transport it aboard Spanish ship was vetoed by the Spanish Fascist leader, Francisco Franco, because it was stated, he feared an aerial attack on the vessel. Colonel Carew is a vetern of the Free State army.

Others in the small band included Commandant Dermot O'Sullivan, a former army officer, a farmer, an engineer and a solicitor. All of the members of the group have records as fighters in the Irish "trouble." Roused by the campaign by General O'Duffy scoring the Madrid government's forces as Communist and anti-Catholic, thousands of young Irish men and women are said to have volunteered for service abroad. O'Duffy reportedly selected from these a band of 2,000 men who, he said, were ready to follow him anywhere. O'Duffy recently visited General Emilio Mola at Valladolid, Spain. Upon his return from correspondents in brief, pithy stories, none of them more than 200 words, all of them worthy of preservation for future reference.
