out some garden furniture with his
power tools.

He has played almost every game
except rugby, and is a keen fan of all
kinds of sports.

In his fishing he is a light-tackle
man, and has taken no interest so far
in dragging a pound of lead for Spring
salmon. He ties his own flies.

The R.C.M.P. has two aircraft in
B.C. constantly flying on police and
rescue errands. Supt. Bordeleau has
flown over much of the province.

His work has carried him to some
remote places in this province and
other parts of Canada. Because he is
such a keen angler, he is often accused
of taking time out to fish some trout-
filled northern stream. “How was the
fishing?” Assistant Commissioner
Rivett-Carnac always asked him when
he came back from a journey.

Sometimes he is lucky enough to be
stranded by bad weather at some far
place where the fish are numerous and
hungry. Usually he can’t spare any
time for fishing. It takes will-power
to ignore a nameless lake where trout
boil up and snatch a thrown cigarette
butt.

Supt. Bordeleau hasn’t managed to
do any hunting since he came to B.C.
Since he passes through some of the
best game country in the world, this
is a fair indication that he is a very
busy man. * *

intended for addicts in the United
States and Canada has been smashed.

Lebanese customs officers, co-
operating with the U.S. bureau of
narcotics and police of Syria, Turkey,
Italy, France and Egypt, are officially
reported to have:

1. Seized 500 pounds of opium.

2. Confiscated 43 pounds of mor-
phine base.

3. Made six important arrests and
obtained confessions tracing another
1,089 pounds of opium and 24 pounds
of morphine base which slipped into
Europe bound for North America.

4. Broken up what a veteran police
officer described as one of the four
great dope-smuggling rings in the
Middle East.

5. Identified a Lebanese as king of
the ring. He is still at large, but a
warrant has been issued for his arrest.

6. Cracked the smuggler’s “secret
weapon—a racy British Jaguar sports
car so sleek and expensive that Euro-
pean customs agents usually waved it
past in the belief that it contained
wealthy tourists. The automobile was
honeycombed with secret compart
ments for dope.

The dope involved would have
been worth nearly $2,000,000 to
American peddlers, authorities

said. * *
