Plea To Conserve Timber Along The Island Highway The tourist season is again with us. That is easly discernible because of the reawakening of the sentiment that has prompted us in the past to usk authorities at Victoria to take ac. tlon to conserve a narrow strip of timber along the Island Highway iu sections where it hns not already been cut or burned out. There have been many arguments adduced pro and con. A few days ago a discussion of this subject took place and It' is reproduced for the persual of those interested in saving tlio appearance of the landscape for the benefit of tourists between here and Campbell River. The advocate of the idea had one argument, the inducement lt would be for tourists to visit our district. Instead of looking at myriads of burned and blackened stumps the visitors to our Valley would enjoy a trip over a road boardered on each side by stately Ill's and other evergreen. One man ridiculed the proposal—not for the sake of argument alone, but, he mid, it Is Impractical and gave as hiu reasons: 1. A narrow strip of timber along the road would not stand—It would be blown down. Trees grow ill large tracts and in this way give each other protection against storms. 2. The timber left standing would probably have to be purchased as It now belongs to private parties who are not likely, to let it stand for sentimental reasons and would, ln case of sale for the purpose, ask compensation lo the full value of the timber. 3. The life of tlle fir tree is between one hundred and one hundred and fifty years. Many of the trees iu our forests are now rotting at the tops. Would it not lie better to do away with them and eliminate an e..e- sore as distasteful to the eye as the blackened stumps? This does not mean that all the trees In our forests are rotting, no one Is foolish enough to think that. 4. The removal of the timber is Inevitable; therefore would It not he easier to beautify the present wane spaces by planting maple trees and shrubs along the Island Highway. A shrub that lends itself to this scheme most admirably is the English Broom, that will grow almost anywhere and which will not become a pest, because the seed does nol fly and cannot he blown across country by the wind. Nothing could be prettier than a hedgi of broom along the Island Highway with a maple tree every few yards The broom seed would have to be imported to the district from Victoria or elsewhere but there Is an ample supply of maple trees for the purpose. The scheme is a feasible one and If this district is to benefit to any great extent from the tourist traffic, something of the sort will have to be dope or the blackened stumps will remain an eyesore from Merville to Oyster River and farther. There seems to be only one remedy for what has ill- ready happened and that Is to find something to take the place of wluil "has gone before" and something that more than likely will lu time be even more beautiful than the tall standing timber. it will never be done If we sit down and write letters asking others to do It for us. II can and will be done only by community effort and a move made by those directly Interested. OFFICE STAFF DANCE The Office Staff of the Canadian Collieries are holding a dance In the llo-Ilo Ilnll on Tuesday April 15. The proceeds will be used In connection with the election of their May Queen Candidate for the benefit of the Hospital. Everybody welcome. Gentlemen 75c. Ladies 25c. Baseballers Plan Big Parade For Opening Game Plana for a raffle and dance for May 2 and a parade for the opening league gome in the Upper Island Baseball League May 11, were just a few of the things discussed by the Senior Baseball Club last week at its two meetings. As usual, the merchants of the city have freely contributed to the raffle and as a result over $110 has been collected in prizes. There are 31 prizes altogether a detailed list of which is adverUsed In this issue.! Three teams are out in a race to see which can sell Uie most tickets. J. W.! Tremlett, who is chairman of the raffle committee has one team and Joe Kirkbrlde and A. S. Denholme are I j the captains of the other two teams, j I It is going to be a mighty race. It | may be worth mentioning here thut | the proceeds of the raffle are expected to buy uniforms for the team. May 2 has been set as the date for the club's dance. It was tho original intention to hold a novelty dance on this date but owing to tie Moose Carnival May 7 this Idea was dropped In order not to conflict with this fra- ternal organization. Dave Richards has been appointed floor manager for the dance while Messrs J. Bono, Joe Kirkbrlde and Jack HIU will act as , a gate committee. The fact that the raffle tickets will be drawn at the | dance should help to make lt a bump- er one. Saturday games are not practicable , here for several reasons so the Ilrst league game falls upon a Sunday. | Secretary Deholme was instructed to communicate with the City Council for permission to hold a parade to pre- cede the opening game. It will be n big feature and added attraction to i those ln the outlying district . In the past with the exception of thc .last two years it has been customary to hold a baseball game at the May Day Sports. Messrs Joe Kirkbrlde and Alex. Denholme were appointed as a delegation to attend the next meet- of the 1924 May Day Celebration conl. mlttee to try and arrange If possible for a boll game at this year's sports. Thc entire baseball club will attend the meeting to assist the delegates in their mission. Royston Lumber Japs and Cumberland will shake the cobwebs off in a practice game on the Recreation Grounds Sunday at 3 o'clock. Complete arrangements have not been made yet but it is known that Dave Hunden will throw against the Japs. KEEN COMPETITION FOR PREMIER HONORS IN LOCAL CONTEST CANDIDATES AND THEIR CAMPAIGN MANAGERS ARE PLANNING GREAT ACTIVITIES FOR COMING WEEK MISS GLADYS DANDO LEADING The May Queen Contest is now fairly well under way, and in about two weeks we expect to be full steam ahead.

It is known as a riot in three act:;, by high grade artists from Nanaimo, including Miss Jean Pattsrson, the famous singer, Doug. Manson, the comedian, Ossie Wardell and a chorus of Nanaimo's prettiest girls. Those who know, say its a screem. This is to boost the candidate from the hospital. The end of next week we till expect to be ready for the fray. The Islander takes a neutral stand. For lhe satisfaction of those that Wc are supporting all the candldatea «''« curious the ballot box Is securely in the field in an effort to raise an much money as possible for the Women's Auxiliary of the Cumberland Gen cral Hospital. 30,000 ballots are ills fastened to an electric light polo ill front of Lang's Drug Store, the key being hold by the auditors of the campaign.

The result of the game was 3-1 In favor of Campbell River. Reg. Masters was referee. One feature of the game was, that owing to lack of boys, two girls, Janet McKenzie and Merla Glanvllle. played for Campbell River, in the position o! backs and proved themselves a defence that the Merville boys, who were altogether heavier than thc Campbell River boys, could not break down. Ralph Haigh, Arnold Wickstrom and Reggie Pidcock scored the three goals for Campbell River and Captain Shaw scored the goal for Merville, The game was fairly even and the. combination displayed by both sides was good. .Merville, however, was weak in defence aud also missed two penalties, one in the ilrst five minutes of play and tbe other in the last few minutes of ihe game. Lome Higgins distinguished himself as goal-keeper for Campbell River and had it not been for his good play, tbe score might have been much different. The Campbell River team entertained the Merville players to dinner at the Willows Hotel after the game aud arrangements have been made for a return match to be played at Merville in two weeks time.

At nny rate It is welcome news to know that almost unlimited capital is available for the development of mineral claims, which are located almost right at our door.

There was a clause in Section 9 of the Act by which the Minister could authorize admission of any Chinaman without being subjects to tho provt- lions of this Act There was also a provision In the Act dealing with any Chinese landing in Canada within throe months of the passing of the Act, that they would ome in under the old Act, paying the usual Head Tax; this was provided for Chinamen who might beVni their way .hen the Act came into force. It was asserted by the opponents jf tho Government that the Bill was a nitre eamothige, and was deliberate!, drawn in such a loese way ns to admit a lttTKe number of Chinese, and 'hey specially pointed to Section J), saying that under this Section tho Minister could bring in any quantity of Indentured labor, regardless of the fact that a similar clause has always been in the Act to take care of a few very exceptional cases. What are the facts? In reply to questions asked by A. W. .,'eill in the House on March 6th., the .Iovernment stated that four hundred nd fifty-five Chinamen had entered Canada since the 30th of June last ,vhen the Act came into effect. Of these however, four hundred and thirty eight came In under the olu Act within three months of thc passing of the new Act; of course, this will never .occur again. This only leaves seventeen to be accounted for under the new Act. Of these seventeen, ten were Chinamen returning to Canada who had been residents here. One was admitted as servant to the Chinese Consul. Five were admitted as students going to attend the University, and one was admitted under Section it referred to above. The facts concerning this one are, that he was a Chinaman being educated at Berkeley College, California, and wa.s coming here for few months, to study some point In connection with our Canadian Universities; he could hardly qualify as a student as he was not going to attend regularly any University, therefore he was allowed in under the provisions of Section !* for a limited period and left again in about five months later. So that under the new Act since tho Siith of June last, only six Chinamen have really entered Canada, five of whom arc students and must return at the etui of their college period, and tlio other one is attached to the suite of the Consul and must return with him. This looks like genuine Chinese exclusion. The only matter for regret is that the word "Oriental" was not used in place of "Chinese" so ns to include the Japanese. The question of their immigration will he dealt with in a later article. CHARGING HERD OF REINDEER FLASHED FOR PICTURE SCENE NOTICE DIFFERENCE IN WAY YOU FEEL IN 14 HOURS OR LESS! Make thin test!

Broken Antlers and Bleeding Heads Prove Realism uf "Shots" In Fox Drama Broken antlers, smashed off at the base, leaving bleeding stubs. Indicate thc realism of the reindeer stampede scene in the William Fox production "The Blizzard." which comes lo the Ilo-llo Theatre, Friday and Saturday. The picture is an adaption of the story by Selma Lagerlof. Swedish winner of the Nobel prize for literature, called 'The Story of a Country House.' One of the most remarkable scenes In the production Is that of a blizzard in l.apland, during which a great herd of reindeer stampedes ln terror. Origlnatally, this "shot" was caught for the news cameras, but It so lilted thc story that It was Included as part of the picture. .Mary Johnson, known ns the "Pick- ford of Europe," has the leading role in "The Blizzard," in which she Is supported by a cast of talented Swedish performers.

VVALLY VAN MEETS MANY HAZARDS IN CROSS COUNTRY RACE In "The Drlvln' Fool," the scheduled six reel feature coming to the Ilo-llo theatre on .Monday and Tuesday, Wally Van, Ihe star .makes a cross country automobile drive from San Francisco to New York. Many times, while going over the snow-topped Rooky Mountains, Wally, with the help of Horatio St. Albans, his dusky partner from a south sea isle, was forced to cut his way through heavy snow drifts which had completely covered the road. This, of retiree, was a great disadvantage to Van as he was out io set a record for the trip as well as for the picture. While on Ihe Lincoln Highway, about the half way mark, Wally was bumming along between fifty-five and sixty when just he., ond a turn In the road he spied a hay wagon which made 1! .mpcsslulu for him to pass. It was useless to apply the brakes and Wally's only alternative was to drive off the road. He did, bul he didn't notice a ditch and a few hours later, when Van and Horatio regained their senses and started their journey once more, they found the same hay wagon "filling" thc road some hundred feet ahead of them, We feel safe in- saying tliat Wally waited for It to turn off the highway before he attempted to pass It again.

INTERNATIONAL BROADCASTING RADIO ENGINEERS Westinghouse and Metropolitan-Tick. ers Engineers In Greatest Modern Time Achievement Marking an epoch in the history of radio engineering, world wide radio broadcasting was achieved on the night of December .11. 1923, when H. I besides being transmitted on a wave- P. Davis, Vice President of the Weet- length of 326 meters for local rec-;;'- inghouse Electric and Manufacturing Company, transmitted New Year's greetings that were heard in many lands from KDKA, thc pioneer broadcasting station of the Westinghouse Company at East Pittsburgh. Pa., U.S.A. For the first time in history' It was possible by means of the spoken word that such a message be sent to the peoples of so many nations. This marvelous achievement was made possible through radio broadcasting repeating. The message from KI/KA, B.C., The Good Roads Province KNOW HCW To ) lUnjitoMis y IN B.C' IWwH- tlon, was Bent out on a wavelength of 100 meters and was picked up, amplified, aud repeated by the Metropolitau- Vtckers Electrical Company's radio station at Manchester England and by the Westinghouse repeating station at llastiags, Nebraska, U.S.A. Mr. Davis in his message said; "That the means of communication have been greatly advanced during the past year is liily shown by ihe fact that I am able to speak directly to you, the great masses of population of other nations across an intervening ocean. This achievement wlll ultimately result In making America's dally events known to you und your every day happens known to us. "A year ago such an achievement seemed beyond belief. With such advancement In the radio art an es- i tahllshed ract ,no man dare predict j what developments will take place before another New Year. J "It Is a wonderful thing for tho ■ world,—this achievement which en- 1 ables the peoples of one continent lo ! listen in' on the activities of tho i peoples of another continent,—for the ! friendship of nations is founded on I closer understanding among the var- < Ious peoples and in no way can dif- ! ferent nations understand each other I and become more closely in touch with ; each other than by Improved means of ; rapid and accurate communication. ! "It Is also fitting that Westinghouse j station KDKA. the pioneer broadcast- : Ing station of the world, should be th? ! first station to develop a means for 1 the repeating of Its programs to you. 1 the peoples of other continents, for it i was here, and by this Btation. from which I am now sending this message.

Many would reply "Because I can get service anywhere;" and just as many, "Because it is the only car I can afford to own." All would tell you, "Because they master a bad road inany weather," a woman driver would respond, "Because I can drive it so easily."

There are still some among us, grey haired men they are, who remember the clipper ships whicli years ago forced the galleon from the sea. and the grea' four-masted barques that are now seen only in island trade on souther* seas, but these men are the privileged few. Except for a few schooners which ply the fishing banks, Ihe sailing vessels have gone the way of all things, and in their place we see the steam driven vessels, gigantic, palatial, and so differed in almost al! their aspects from the wind propelled vessels as tn almost belie their origin.

Cabins were improved upon, the sleeping bunks could be so arranged as to ensure privacy lor the occupant; the state room was evolved And sn the shipping world goes on. Oil is nnw coming into its own. The navies of the world are converting their older war ships into oil burning vessels and designing many of the additions to fleets for the use of oil; and for some years past the steamship companies of all nations have been turning their attention te oil as well as lo coal supplies and resources.

HAIL, GENTLE SPRING The miracle of Spring ls again at hand aud happiness abounds tor most of us, if only we wlll open our hearts and invite her In. Hut humanity Is all too, prone to grouch, lo grumble, to complain, to rail al what lt terms Injustice and evil fate. Murder, vice, greed, provorty, sor- row -these are abundant symptoms of social disorder, but the world Is gi.od and tiie Spring is at hand. Let u.i wander alter the birds; let us go lit search of blossoms. 'Ihere Is more health than of disease, more of comfort than of distress, more of beauty than of ugliness, more of kindness than of cruelty, more of laughter than of tears. We live in the greatest age tho world has known. Tho average man In the street, with his present knowledge and experience, would have been accepted us a god ln any other age. We rend at night by the soft glow of scientific sunlight; we go to the libraries and get the best the world affords in literature; we listen to tho harmonies of the great masters reproduced by the phonographs In our own homes; education ls ours for the asking; we drink pure water drawn from a faucet In the wall; we cat pure foods put up In clean cartons and brought to the kitchen door; we call our [ilends through the telephone and listen to eerie minstrelsy caught from the wireless currents of the air; we hnve learned much of the story of the stars, the rocks and the flowers and in this knowledge we receive a new revelation of God. And still we complain, Let us turn to the beauty and fragrance of the coming buds and blossoms Let us start ln the morning and listen for the song of the birds. Let us go through the day to thc calm and solemnity of the twilight, with Its Invisible orchestral harmonies, on to night, und thc dreams of night with Its "sleep, that knits up the ravell'd sleeve of care." It ls a good world to live ln, and through the brave pursuit of happiness we can make It ever and ever a better world; for each houI that walks wltll happiness, at last, becomes a guide to some other soul, who, lu turn, wlll Bhow another the beauty nny Joy of the birds and the blossoms at this happy time of tho return of Spring. gets as large n fee for calling on a patient and writing a prescription as he would If he dispensed his own medicines. He has the advantage of hospital service for his more serious cases, and in the beginning he can get along without a private conveyance, or nt most with a cheap runabout, because his driving is only on paved streets. He has more leisure at Ms command, and also the advantage of consultation when he desires it. The country doctor Is a slave to his profession. He must carry much in the way of medicine. He is subject io calls nt all times of the day and night which necessitate long drives over roads which sometimes are almost Impassable. His hours are | long, and If he has any sort of practice, his life Is a strenuous one. Ilo is dependent upon his own resources. .Moreover, country practice lacks the | glittering promise of great financial success, although a liberal income and an ultimute competence nre practically assured. Despite the disadvantages attending country practice, It would appear that the young doctors who shy away from It are making a mistake. There are other than financial rewards lu | this life, and man., of these go to the country doctor, lie ls assured of a j commanding social position and of a i lite of usefulness, which endears him to hundreds of families. Ho faces middle life and old age with the knowledge thai the friendship, conli-' deuce and love of his fellows, will be his throughout a wide community; that he wlll always be a welcome addition to any circle; that, he always will be an honored guest at any fireside (Ireat wealth and wide fame will not be his. but his comparative financial and social standing will ho' assured. Ad. taken from The Hook—"All live people read The Hook."—They surely would not expect a dead one to read It. Epitaph: "He didn't have time to! stop at the crossing; he has plenty of leisure now." THE COUNTRY DOCTOR The tendency toward specialism in medicine ls a matter that Is causing grave concern among the residents of rural districts. The cities are congested with doctors, the majority of whom struggle along with scant practice Into middle age, but always buoyed up with hope of great success and prosperity ln their later years. In the city tbe doctor Is relieved from the necessity of carrying a full stock of drugs.

CITY COUNCIL HELD A BUSY SESSION 1 COURTENAY.— Last Mondny night the City Council held a regular rneet- ■ ing with the following members pre- I .sent: The Mayor. Aldermen Fielder, ' Embleton. Pearse, Cooks, and Haft- arty. The reconnecting of the east and west sides of the river water system, replacing the hose that has been used since thc washing out of the pipe line ill thc river last autumn waa left in abeyance. The matter of extensions to the electric light line to Nob Hill, Comox, was not discussed although lt was mentioned in meeting. Two lots on Courtenay Avenue belonging to thc city were Bold to Mr. Dnuncey .the purchase price being one hundred dollars, to which Is added the Increase In trades licenses for the taxes for the current year. A letter from .Mr. A. H. Lomas, Indian Agent, re a park site In the Indian Reserve was referred to a joint committee of thc Board of Trade and : City Council, who will report on the subject. Alderman Cooke brought before the meeting tho proposal to widen Puntledge Avenue to allow free access to traffic. Part of this road had been fenced by Mr. Cokely who owned the property. It was decided to follow the original street line. Mr, Charles Shannon, an enthusiastic worker on the comraittee.'haviiig In hand the heautlficatlon of the school grounds waited on thc council with a request for the use of a team and scraper for one day. The request was granted. A report of the city clerk showed an first half of this year over thc same period last year. In 1922 the amount had been $565 and In 1923 the amount collected had been $810. This showed a healthy growth In the business '. section and there was no doubt that the total receipts for the year will be very substantially in excess of last year. The city constable was Instructed to prepare a report re an open drain on Anderton Avenue. Mr. Spence Teed was appointed to the position of road superintendent by the committee of public works and | will operate and have charge of tho new truck, which it was stated is now read., for use.

This is a question that has been In the minds of aldermen for several years and is one that some day will have to be solved. Mr. Johnson went Into the subject very exhaustively, advocating a road covering of asphalt concrete mainly because of Its economy and because of Its wearing qualities. He cited a portion of road ln the Point Orey section, where ln 1910 a mile of asphalt had been laid and from that time not one dollar had to be spent ln repairs. It will bt remembered that last year there waa some talk of paving Union Bay Road and Union Street. No action was taken but tho Information given by Mr. Johnson will be rtry valuable when the time comes to have the work done. INGWALL BAGLOW TO BE INTERRED IN SASKATCHEWAN COURTENAY.-Tho body of the late Ingwall Baglow, who was killed last Saturday at the camp of Messrs. Lamb Bros., loggers of Menjlea Bay, was brought to Courtenay and sent hut Sunday to Buchanan, Saskatchewan, where his wife and seven children and parentB reside.

THE CUMBERLAND ISLANDER PAGE SEVEX <4 |!araH3iaEiajsiaiai?MaaEJfflaaraKi^^ News of Courtenay and Surrounding District "COUGAR" SMITH AND W. STEWART TO HUNT PANTHER COURTENAY.—Cecil, well known as "Cougar" Smith, aud Ronald Stew, art, Provincial Game Warden in Ihe Comox District, left on Monday morning for Campbell River where they will board the Steamer Princess Beatrice and proceed to Nimklsh River to hunt panther under the direction of the Provincial Game Board. The two experienced hunters and trappers wlll be away for at least a month. Cecil is not strong on publicity, so the following paragraph taken from a dally paper printed on May 26th, 1918 will be interesting to residents of the district: "The town residence of Sir Robert Borwlek, at 16 Berkeley Square, West London, will he adorned with a huge cougar or mountain lion, a victim of his unerring aim during his recent shooting and hunting trip to Campbell River, Vancouver Island. Sir Robert who recently arrived here from Japan on a tour of the world, returned Sunday from the north. He enjoyed splendid sport and Is enthusiastic about tha Campbell River District as n sportsman's paradise. "He was fortunate in securing the services of "Cougar" Smith, a noted local guide. With the nid of dogs a femnle cougar wus finally treed and Furniture Repairs and Re-Upholstering shot. After a search next day her three cubs were tracked and captured, but not without a struggle as the little ones scratched and fought with vigor. They were brought to Vancouver. Two of them have be:n pre- { seated by Sir Robert to thc zoo in j Stanley park while the third will bo. given to Victoria. Sir Robert stated that he never enjoyed better trout j lishlng In all his life than he oxper-1 ienced at Campbell River. He added I that this country's diversified attrac-j tions have only to become known to become the rendezvous of sportsmen ' rrom every clime. Sir Robert's guide shot a black bear on the recent hunt".' From the foregoing It will be noticed that "Cougar" Smith has generally beeu successful In bringing In his quarry. It i-; a certainty that If there aro as many panther in the Nimklsh country as has been reported there will be more honors fall to the lot of Air. Smith as the result of his present trip. Grand Council, Native Sons of Canada wlll be held in Courtenay the first week in June when It Is expected that delegates from the twenty-three assemblies that have been organized ill the Province will be in attendance.

PATTISON HEADS VALLEY FRUIT GROWERS COURTENAY,—The second annual general meeting of the Comox Valley Fruitgrowers' Association was held on Tuesday night at the Agricultural Hall, and was fairly well attended. It had been expected that representative of a Vancouver firm would have been present to discuss with the meeting the disposition of the local output this season. However a message had been received In the morning stating that lt would be Impossible for representatives for the firm mentioned lo be present. Mr. II P. Allberry took the chair, and after stating the reason for holding the meeting suggested that the election of officers he proceeded with. This was acted upon with the results that the following members will govern the association during 1924: President, D. Pattlson. Merville; Vice-President, Norman Prltchard, Comox; Secretary-Treasurer, E. Felix Thomas Directors: F. G. Llddle, J. Lupton, A. E. Narroway, R. E. .lames and A. Macdonald. Mr. PatUson, the newlly elected president, then took the chair. On motion of Mr. II. p. Allberry. seconded by Mr. W. J. Andrews, the membership fee was set at one dollar per year. Mr. Norman Prltchard brought up the question of allowing Orientals to become members of the association and Mr. R. I.'. Hurford, was ol the opinion that the admission of Japanese growers to membership would materially increase the volume of fruit and make the acquisition of a cannery much more likely. Air. William Duncan said thut be wus sure the Coniox Creamery would do all lt could to help the growers. No concrete proposals were forthcoming from the members so on motion of Mr. Norman Prltchard, seconded by Mr. Mantle, it was decided thnt the directors should meet the Creamery directors on Monday, the Mill Instant at nine o'clock p.m. with the view of making necessary marketing arningeiuents. [n reply to a question by Mr. R. E. James, the manager of tiie creamery said there is still a quantity of last season's product in stock, but that as the season has arrived when stocks of this sort move quickly, he was sure that the remainder on han dwould soon be disposed of. .Mr. C. 1). Magglora, of the Gold Star Bottling Works, addressed the meeting on the manufacture of Loganberry juice and wine. Mr, Magglora showed a thorough knowledge of the manufacture of wine but thought lt would be hard to finance a project of the kind at present owing to the uncertain conditions prevailing. .Mr. Hugh Stewart spoke optimistically on the cultivation of Loganberries in the B.C. coastal section but thought the growers would do well to wait n year or two when the subject could be more thoroughly gone Into when conditions would undoubtedly be better and the subject could probably be taken up with the Liquor Control Board. At this point Mr. Norman Prltchard. to get some action on the Japanese question, moved tliat Japanese be eligible to Join the Coniox Valley Frail Growers' Association. His motion was seconded by Mr. Ed. Clark, and much animated discussion took placa. Mr. Merle Halllday was absolutely opposed to anything of the kind. He f urged the elimination of the Japanese as members. .Mr. Kirby thought that I if thc Japanese were admitted there i soon would be no white growers. Berries grown on swamp land by Japanese would spoil the market. The secretary said that the consumer being the ultimate judge, would demand the best berries nnd that poor quality fruit would realize a low ' price. Last season's experience bad proved that. The matter was finally i left to the directors for decision.

Of course, you use it to call up a friend, or place an orcter with a tradesman, but do you always thinks of it wh >n you need to do something personally? How many times would the telephone save you time? If a business man, how much money would the telephone save you? Many trips could be saved, if the telephone were used instead. The telephone gives direct and prompt communication with that personal touch- which brings both parties to a conversation close together.

I have assumed, for the purpose of the statements herewith, that all accounts between the City and the Board were balancd up to December 31,1922. It has been the custom, hitherto, for the banking transactions of the Board to be conducted through the City General Account, but this is now being remedied, and a spearate account opened, through which all the banking business of the Board of School Trustees will, in the future, be transacted, as provided by the Public Schools Act. All outstanding accounts at December 31,. 1923, as far as I am aware, have been included in the expenditures for 1923, with the exception of a balance of $75.95, owing-on a pianoforte, purchased for school use, in the name of the principal. I understand the teachers propose to discharge this liability. In my opinion, the statement submitted herewith, sets forth a true and correct statement of the treatment of the Board of School Trustees for the year ended December 31, 1923, according to the information and explanations given to me, and as shown by the books and records.
