The day was perfect as was evrything else in connection with the programme of the day. There were twenty-eight entries in the Parade "and it was a credit to Aoboisford.

The Tog parade in the evening was well attended and the large crowd thoroughly enjoyed the good music provided by the six-piece orchestra. The two queens were very pretty in their white dresses, with pale and pink train; also flowers of pale and pink. The retiring Queen is Miss Bessie Anderson and the reigning Queen is Miss Annie McPhee. . Great credit is due the May Day committee for the way the program was carried out and to Mrs. G.

The Reeve took issue with the writer as to his power to close any highway which had been established by- the Highway Act of 1905, and while it was desirable to establish roads on the boundaries of properties the coun cil was not compelled to do so. "Coun- Owen was of the opinion that when the owner of a small holding was making substantial improvements on his property the council should put the road in its proper place so that there might not be any-necessity of again moving ,the fence. In answer to a question the Councillor stated that the $175.00 which had been appropriated to straighten this road did not include this portion and while the money had all been spent the work for which it had been authorized was not completed.

BATES, - - Editor and Proprietor FRIDAY,' MAY 14, 1915 WOMEN Am) CIIILDKEIN FIRST- When the Titanic went,to the bottom of the sea as the:result of collission with'an iceberg, the whole world,was horrified. A little rejoicing was had however while talking of the great disaster and was probably the means of consoling many a stricken father, mother, son or daughter, in the fact that the man���������the wealthy and the poor alike���������stepped to one side and assisted in-the rescuing of the women and children. It was 'the'ladies first' It was a disaster over which'no human being had control How different though is the latest tragedy, the brutal sinking of the Lusitania. It was an act of men of a nation with a thirst for vengeance on humanity; and it was not a case of saving- the women and children,, as it is reported that tlie men on the submarine stood and watched the effect of their handiwork (excuse the word) No provision could be made for the saving as apparently the premeditated act was thoroughly carried out resulting in such confusion that probably fe.w had an* opportunity to think at all, not having recovered from the first shock. The Anglo-Saxon world is horrified; foreign nations are not backward in expressing opinion-of tlie nation responsible for the deed. We all ask ourselves what manner of nation is this that we all considered foremost in science, art,. education and mechanical ability, only a few months ago. Down through the ages, tlie stigma of the brutalities committed by the Huns will be looked upon with horror and regret, and the military "Black Hand, and the Bloody Heart" of the Kaiser and his staff be held responsible for the greatest barabarisms of the twentieth century or the days;, of the "Dark Ages". - Yes, aiid not ashamed of it, and the word comes.out from Potsdam, 'Germany accepts the responsibility'. . Horrible crimes, are always punished sooner, or later; what a punishment must surely await the Hun! ! ! "Crisis in B. C." appears to have stirred up. a hornet's nest The Christian gentlemen who are apparently responsible for the,pamphlet.are.certainly a living example of their own teachings. Dr. MacKay. of Vancouver showed his fellow ministers, a very good example when he dicided not to enter politics, and to remain in the ministry only. Now.the report,is that Borden has 'gone fishing'and that the Dominion-elections date.is indefinite���������this.fall, next winter, or (fnext year, or maybe 'until after the war.' We would send our congratulations to Sir Robert Borden if we thought he would appreciate our. opinion, but not knowing we will have to content 'ourselves by thinking what a wise old politician he must.be.. The Dominion.has enough to think about now outside of politics RED GROSS.SOCK DAY< The Canadian, Red Cross Society, through the head office, ir .Toronto in augurated a "Sock Day" for April 20 but as the Branch in this province . did not receive the; notification in time to observe, that day, the executive of the Vancouver. Society felt that the. suggestion was too valuable to dismiss and decided to hold their. ,'Sock Day" for British Columbia on Empire and Victoria Days, May 23rd and 24th. On-these days, every, man, woman and child in B. C. will have an opportunity to give one, or as many pairs, of socks .as he. or she wishes, and it is hoped that the -last great western province will be the first In its generosity. British Columbia has responded to the Empire's call for men, and it is not too much to expect that those who remain at home will respond as nobly to the appeal for the soldiers who are fighting their battles. Canada today.is thrilling with just pride at the reports coming from the battlefield in Flanders and she is conscious of the fact that her sons have proved to the world that they too are British and can and will up- ' hold the traditions of the Empire." They have proved worthy of'their heritage. The reports have brought home to Canada something more than the news of the exploits of her gallant sons. It has brought home a realization of the great duty which falls upon the Canadians. Canadians at home today have as great a duty to perform as the men who wear the King's uniform and are fighting in Flandors. Our soldiers have upheld the honor of Canada, and it remains for those who cannot go to do their part as nobly. The casualty lists show clearly how great the need will be. Many thousands of wounded men will be carried off the battle fields every week, and upon the Red Cross Society revolves the duty of caring'for the majority of, them. Shall,thse,men want for anything that will save their lives or ease their pain? Shall the men.who-have thus far been-mercifully spared, be denied the comfort of good woollen socks? Will Canadians.allow, those who have fought so bravely to go without socks and endure the torture of blis- tred and bruised feet: These questions will be and. are being-answered by the efforts the public is making to provide whatever is necessary. Canadians in Canada will prove not less worthy of their heritage than have-their sons at the front'. The Red Cl'oss Society has estimated that 50,0f)0. pairs of socks will be necessary every week for the men .of the Canadian contingent in France. . One individual, or one city, cannot supply them, but individual effort multiplied by thousands ' will meet the need. If every man, woman and child in B. C. will give what they can, "Sock Day" will be a wonderful success. For the sake of the soldiers the Red Cross Society is asking that every one who can, will make or buy one or more pairs of socks or donate half a pound of wool at the least, which will be made up by Red Cross Workers. Individuals and societies are asked to take up the movement and push it forward. All contribut- tions should be mailed or brought in to the Red Cross Central Depot, Industrial Bureau, corner of Cambie' Street and Pender Street (183 Pender Street West) where they will be listed ancl packed ready for the front Arnold Bennet writes that the call on the Red Cros3. Society during May and June "will be terrific" and this week's casualty Jists go far to bear out his statement. Any person who is willing to work for the men at the front along general Red Cross lines may obtain full information, patterns etc. by applying to the Property Committee at the Central Depot, Vancouver. There is work for ever man, woman.and child who will answer to "the call of the Empire". (The local Women's Institute will be glad to receive socks on "Sock Day" and forward them to Vancouver;) MATSQTjI COUNCIL (Continued from Page One) ��������� Riverside road crossing by placing thereon,two or three loads of gravel, Carried. . ��������� Elliott-McCallum, that the rate of municipal wagesTfor Matsqui Municipality .)o as follows for 1915, to start fro.n the 3rd day of May: For man and team $4.00 for a day of 8 hours; for man with one horse $3.00 for a day of 8 hours.

Although I was unable to carry out his instructions to the letter of the law irr the matter of the chicken pox, Dr. Swift acted promptly, and tire outbreak was confined to two or three very light cases. - The results from his visit last year have been better* than any I have seen before in a British Columbia school. Teeth received immediate atention from derrtists. Four children have had special examination of tire eyes, and tire defects remedied by the use of glasses made by an optician to suit each particular case. This was a direct result of .the Dr.'s eye-test last slimmer.
