J. L. Starr, president, gave favorable consider- tion to the Women's Institute proposals for the establishment of a public park on the site ' of the old Municipal Hull. Many years ago a strip of land adjoining the old Yale road v/as given to the Council by Mr. Ewen for Uk> use of the people. The first municipal building was put there and the grounds have been used for May 2-1 picnics, as regularly as "high water" would permit. It is now proposed to purchase another four acres' adjoining the original half acre on which the old hall stands. The Council will advance $50 to the Institute so that they may obtain an option on the "park." The ladies will then organize a "drive" for the remainder of the purchase money, the deed being vested in the municipality. A grant of $150 was also made to the Institute for the improvement of Musselwhite cemetery grounds. A shelter will be erected for the sexton, some stumping and grading will be done and the portion already occupied will be beautified. 35AKE PLANS FOll -AN-NUAL-FASiL TFAITl SUMAS; COUNCIL The correspondence before the council showed that no "reduction in charges' for indigent patients is to bo expected from outside ''hospitals. $2.50 per day is the minimum, i 0 A personally-signed letter from H. W. Thornton, head of the National Railways stated that the council's communication oh the. Fraser River erosion had been received, but no action on tlie matter was indicated Plans of a one-acre plot on the Clenrbrook road-, as conveyed from James Walker to the Poplar Community Hall Co.. were evidences of the progress made at this now centre of social activity. For the convenience, of podlnw found soliciting trade without a license, the council will permit constables to carry receipt forms for the payment of this levy, For the bridge and fill confront on the Marsh road, Dr. It.'Nicholson tendered to complete the work for $250, A. A. Boyle for $325, and R Stewart, to whom the contract will go, for $232.60. A well attended meeting of the Abbofsford-Sumas Agricultural Association was' held on Wednesday evening. On account of ' illness, the resignation of Mr. A. George as president was accepted, and Mr. A. Hulton-Harrop was elected in his place- Much general discussion arose over the advisability of holding the annual Fair in Abbotsford as in former years. The Municipality of Matsqui does not care to give the usual grant toward this Fair, and there has been some talk of the Sumas Municipality holding a Fair of their own. However, after the matter had been well considered, the association decided to carry on, and-the annual Fair will be held as' usual. It was thought advisable however to dispense with the annua] flowev show, as it lias not been a financial success recently. A request was received from the True Blue Association! to be permitted to sell tags on Fair day in aid of the True Blue Orphanage. The "request was readily granted: Now that Abbotsford has decided to hold a Fair it is the duty of every citizen to' give the affair their entire support, and make it a bigger success than ever, and/also: boost your town. , si::fy children find entertained at the home of Mrs W. !<.

Moiv. d'scussion has taken place during the past few months than for the past thirty years in the matter. Undoubtedly Premier Oliver believes that it. is only a matter of'education ana he is holding his meetings with that object in view. There seems to be but little real objection to the province of, British ' Columbia being given her rights In the matter of fair freight rates. It is a question that, should have been settled long days ago. Industries in British Columbia will not prosper in the ' future any more than they have in the past until such time as the markets of the east arc open to B. C. industries, and there is nothing that will help towards this end more than the present proposed equalization of freight rates. The present discussion is making th������ rasie"~ier see that all of Canada d^os not lie along the St. Lawrence and ca������t nf the Great Lakes: will they nlso see that their selfishness hW nrevented the opening up of the vest as it should have been in the. y?.?t. The great undeveloped resources of this province should have t>r the past quarter of a- century helped to bring prosperity to all of Canada, but many a bright , prospect in the west "has been blighted n-.; -���������������������������'��������� -'������!o in beauty and interesting in history.

This question every motorist some day asks .himself. And it's when the automobile owner has to beconae an automobile salesman that he loses or profits by how lax or how attentive he has been in keeping his car in condition. Every motor car dealer is up to his neck in the perplexities of the used car problem. The car owner wjio is' seeking a trade-in is confronted with a schedule of valuations that has he^n established by years of experience in annraising used machines. He must, nine times out of ten. take what is offered. His alternative is' to seek a private haver, a job that grows mm-e difficult each year as the number of automobile owners increases. But any car owner, by a small amount of foresight, can protect himself against the day when he will want to dispose of his used car. An by the fact that the easterner could astonishingly small amount of at- see no good coming out of the west tention to.his machine will make it and that to spend any money in as sisting development was a . pure waste. It is hoped that "Premier Oliver will keep the matter out of politics. Gen. McRae "would leave his past record to a committee of one hundred. Would they be chosen friends or would he allow Premier Oliver, or one of his ministers to act? We believe A. G. Manson would be a good man to pick out good men and true. Perhaps M."A.' M. would help? Of course we'want to give' McRae a fair trial and we believe the- unbiased jury of the electorate of B. C will decide as to the fitness of the leader when the proper time comes. President Beattie' of the C P. R- at the'annual meeting this month of the company among other things said:' "This' company is Canada's largest property owner and largest taxpayer. No other corporation or citizen has a greater interest in the national welfare, nor. contributes I think, more to' its advancement." Its railways were protected and constructed for the purpose of carrying out one of the terms-of Confederation, namely, the construction of a transcontinental railway connecting the railways of eastern Canada with the seaboard" of British' Columbia, and the contract with the Dominion government contains a provision for its perpetuation. It can therefore justly claim to be in the truest sense a national work. The purposes for which it will be projected have been more than fulfilled, thousands of miles' of other lines have been added to the original undertaking, linking the provinces of Canada, most of them pioneer lines, anticipating settlement and providing transportation facilities for remote districts. By its steamships it has provided for the foreign trade of Canada, and by Its colonization work it has been the means of'attracting many' thousands of settlers. Its. success in all these directions has brought other less" direct, but at,the same time substantial, benefits to Canada in the attraction ; of'foreign capital and foreign enterprise." HIGHEST PEAK IN CANADIAN ROCKIES Mount Robsori National Park- holds for the tourist and explorer new trails through new wonderful lands in a great unspoiled Alpine kingdom, 'where nature and beauty vie with each other. It is a count-v abounding in big things; majestic poaks, deep canyons and water fall3. Tn fact, it is doubtful if anywhere in an equal area such mountain scenery and wonder features can be found. Camps are located in Mount Robson Park for accommodation of tourists, where saddle horses and pack horses are available. An observation platform has been constructed by the Canadian National Railways, at Mount Robson station, where all trains stop'for a few minutes to afford travelers the opportunity of viewing this vast and a- mazing territory. Mount Robson, the highest peak in the Canadian Rockies, is plainly seen from the train. The "Continental Limited" en route to the Pacific ' Coast traverses this new playground, and for many miles follows the North Thompson and Fraser Rivers, re- preferred stock," whether he is trading in with the dealer- or selling for-cash-to an. individual. A Rig' Advantage A comparatively small amount of. lubrication correctly applied during the "first hand" ownership of an automobile is worth more than all the "salve" and salesmanship the car owner may have at his' command when he endeavors to dispose of the machine. , The expert used car appraiser has a high regard for the value of chassis lubrication, after he has looked at the motor, you will see him- go carefully over the springs, steering gear, and other chassis points. If he finds evidence'of insufficient lubrication he knows the car has1 been subject io unnecessary vibration for thousands of miles, tlie engine, transmission and body has been strained by this abuse. If one is selling to a private individual, chassis' lubrication is of equal, or even greater importance. Probably the greatest resistance to the sale of used cars is the prevalent idea among non-motorists that a'used car is necessary noisy, that it is certain to be full- of squeaks and rattles. The used car buyer who gets a, ride in a car that has been carefully lubricated during Jt3 first ownership' is" certain to be influenced by the absence of such annoyances. ���������*������- It's remarkably. easy, too to keep the chassis action of the car velvety and quiet. Most automobile engineers and builders, realizing the great importance of chassis lubrication, have practically standardized on the Alemite High Pressure system of lubrication. All points to be lubricated are fitted with hall check nipples to which the Alemite compressor is easily and quickly attached by means of a bayonet coupling. Then, a few turns of the handle fills the bushings' or bearings with new, fresh lubricant._ All grit and dirt are expelled. The use. of - Alemite is growing universal for the simple reason it means positive lubrication of all chassis bearings and, because it is so convenient, motorists' will lubricate the chassis���������something that was dreaded by most, car owners when'. they had old fashioned grease and oil cups for their cars. Many motorists are also installing the Alemite lubricating spring covers that keep the springs bathed with lubricant, and exclude all water, dust and grit. nature, luuction, and value of-the various manures, - fertilisers, and soil amendments:' third, an explanation of the formulae and facers hivolved in the valuation of fertilizers and preparations of home mixtures and fourth, suggestions for the fertilizer treatment,,'ofAfield cropu, etc., Regarding' commercial fertilizers,, the Dominion Fertilizers' Act provides, for tlie registration of even fertilizer offered for sale as' such in Canada. A registration number is givan and this number serves as a inerns of :den< ii'icafion, for the Ac! provides that the guarantee of analyses, tegcther with ths: i-e_';:'r-!.rr- number of the fertilizer, shall be stencilled sm each bag or other container or printed legibly on a tag attached durably thereto. In connection with this p-ovis'on of the Act the Bulletin points out that on thc> market there am numerous���������fa." too numerous��������� brands cf ready-mixed fertilizers that contain varying percentages and proportions of nitrogen, phosphoris ac'd and potash Many of those arc described by the manufacturer as being specially a- dopfed for thej needs of certain crops The farmer,' however, should study the composition, not the ua'-::e of L!v: fertilizer. , Some fertilize:' mixtures' arc called by attractive and Often very pretentious names. But a-name especially if a misnomer, is a. poor basis whereon to build the reputation of, a fertilizer. r. To safeguard farmers against misrepresentation hi naming, the present regulation:: in connection with the Fertilizer Act do not permit, the name of any crs^p or group of crops as part of flic brand name; neither do they permit the use of any name as part of the brand which in the opinion of the Minister of Agriculture is considered misleading.���������Dominion Department of Agriculture. \- BOOST YOUR TOWN CO.MM ERCIA L EERTI1-1ZEI IS Statement of Analysis Should bo Carefully k(.u<11<mI by Purchaser. Now is the time of the year when the nature and composition of the fertilizers that are likely to be used for next season's crops should be well studied. A bulletin ' that is particularly rocommended for this purpose is entitled "Fertilizers for Fielsl Crops," of which Dr. Frank T. Shutt, Dominion Chemist, and B. Leslie Enislie, Soil' Fertility Specialist, are the authors, and which can be- had without charge on application to the Publications Branch, Department of Agriculture, Ottawa. The plan and scope of the bulletin have been suggested by enquiries received and include, first, the results rrom recent field experiments; second, a discussion of the source, "My town is the place where my home is founded, where my business is located, whore my vote is cast- where my children are ' educated, where my neighbors dwell, and where niy life is . chiefly lived. 1 have chosen it, after due consideration, from among all the towiis of the earth.

My town supplies me with law and order; trade and friends', ..education, morals, recreation, and the rights of a free-born Canadian. I should believe in my town and work for it. and I will.'"

USE YALE ROAD TO IJELLINGTTAM LANGLEY PRAIRIE, May 5.��������� Efforts are being made to divert as much as possible of the through, traffic between Bellingham and New Westminster over the Yale road through the South Aldergrove port of entry. This route, with the exception of the detours which must be traversed until the recently completed paving over the Serpentine Flats' has set sufficiently, is reported to be in good condition for the entire distance. In tact, several motorists who .have been over it. during the past few,, days state that even with the detours it is preferable to either of the roads through Surrey; On the Canadian side for the whole length the road has' good width, the lack of which is one of. the greatest drawbacks of both the Hall's Prairie and Coast Meridian routes. There is alsoVa fairly good grade. On the other side of the line the distance between the border at South Aldergrove through Lyndon is approximately 20 miles, about: 13 of which are hard surfaced, while for the remaining seven the road is gravelled and is.reported to be in exceptionally good shape. With the opening of the Serpentine Flats pavement on May 24 this route will have still further advantages, and it is expected that once these are generally known it will rap idly gain in favor with the motor associations will probably be asked to use their influence to divert the traffic over this' route. In using it at present when the Flats section is closed, the Highway is left at the Coast Meridian, thence north to the Townline at Port Kells. The Townline is followed until the Latimer is reached, which again connects up with the Yale about two miles from Langley Prairie. The Yale road is taken to the corner of the County Line road, one mile west of Aldergrove, where a turn south is made.

Publication of these figures show that rubber consumption is still behind production inasmuch as crude rubber imports into the United States for the .year ft- mounfed to 21)0,97 0 tons. A very large portion of all the rubber products goes into tires, Miller tire officials estimate. Since the world's output in 1922 was 368,500 tons, it will be seen'that production was considerably ahead of demand even though the restrictive measures had been put into effect to a certain extent last year.

'New Information Bureau Opened No longer will tourists have to depend on unreliable American- sources for information on Canadian highways regulations and accommodations when crossing the boundary at Blaine. A permanent information office in charge of a uniformed attendant was opened May 1 by the British Columbia Automobile Association. The location is directly opposite the Canada customs office, on the west side of the highway about 50 yards north of the international line. Tourists entering Canada for tne first time have long complained of the lack of reliable information to be obtained at Blaine. Road conditions during past years' have been such .as to discourage all but the venturous, to attempt'the .unchartered drive to New Westminster. That is all changed now. J. R. Sigmore, manager of the B. C. Auto mobile Association, has arranged for the reception of the heavy tourist traffic anticipated this' season. Strip maps will be supplied, giving full da I a on the stato of the roads, loca- liou of camp sites, official hotels and garages, nearest service stations, golf courses', etc. In addition, emergency cars will he placed on patrol of the highway. Each car will be in charge of a competent auto mechanic who will be available for overcoming emergencies such as ignition troubles, gasoline, oil supplies, etc. These services are als'o available to members'of the British Columbia Automobile association at all times and there will he no charge made.

BATES, Editor and Proprietor Friday, May'lSth, 1923. $a_ One of the tenets', .of , the newer Canada is that both of������ihVdld parties are rotten, with little or no difference between them. Has it ever occurred to those who place this in the forefront of their political creed that so It must always be, since both appeal to precisely the same constituency, namely, the likes and dislikes of the whole country Wo would have said, with Tennyson, ''the common sense of the whole country," were it not for that phase has come to mean more sense than is at all common. As for partios being rotten-, it' is to be remembered tha^a good, tree cannot bring forth evil"fruit; neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. If a government is rep resort lative. it will natur- IlASPIiKUUIES Where only one class of fruit for gardens available on the prairies it ,vould be well to, choose raspberries', fhe raspberry is a native" and grows- in all parts of the prairies. It is found in .Uio sub-Arctic regions, up where the tree growth is much stunted and where raspberry cairns' themselves attain a height of only about twelve inches. Moreover, it is as near to being a "sure thing" crop as anything we have in the fruit line. Raspberries do not always produce heavily,- but. there is nearly every year at least a fair supply of fruit. Spring frosts may destroy the blooms of apples, plums, currants, gooseberries', and June-bearing . nflCT and ing to cold "weather and lack of rain.

If parliament 'i resolves itself into two parties, as it must, these parties must fiddle to the same total 'crowd.

Instead of every mad for himself, as we used to say at school when' it was,not convenient to toss up for si&'e's, they would have in parliament every, group for itself.

An; unusual incident becurred ih connection" witli the - Convocation of the Presbyterian College. Three candidates -for the-ministry declined to affirm" "their acceptance of the Old and-'New Testaments as' being "the Word of God," though they agreed that-they could subscribe to a statement in the : rule's of the ���������" Scottish church'"that the Old and New Testament contain the word of God." That ;^ne incident was rather typical than "'''exceptional-'- was indicated" by Dr. Dickie, who stated that the committee appointed to examine candidates for, ordination had for some years back'been placed'in a difficult position, in that a number of those applying for licences were not in en- tire-'.-agreement with the legal standards of the church. It was evident that'1 the young men possessed the sympathy of the Montreal Presbytery the Vpastor of one important church goirfg so far as to state that if the action of the Presbytery in licensing the -candidates' were not endorsed by the <.Generat Assembly he, for one, wouid resign his charge. We do inquire what-tli& -standards may be that" were contravened by the refu' sal. ." It must be thirty or forty years since' a sermon preached in Toronto by the Rev. D. J. MacDonell, and reported ih the Witness", caused a heated debate" ori the same question resulting in the decision that tliere was ['nothing'in . the, standards to condemn'Mr. MacDonell. The Short-' er Catechism -says: "The Word of God which, is contained in the Scriptures'." With this occurrence, might be bracketed,-.,as. indicative of, . a chari'ge from. the.traditional attitude the address.of^'Principal Smyth of the Wesleyan College on "the Faith of the Modern Man." Dr. Smyth expressed < his conviction that the time" had come for ah interpretation of rfeliglon more in harmony with modern knowledge and that this could be attained without losing anything vital. Various schools differed in details, but all were agreed that it wasno longer possible to appeal tb church or creed or any external authority as final and as precluding further invfcstlgation. "The1 Bible,"'said Dr. Smyth, "claims no exemption not accorded to other documents of ancient times, it needs" no exemption. We are delivered from:. th������t' condition in which endeavor was made to reconcile certain details of 'the'-'.Scriptures with conflicting findings,6'f modern science . . ' . . Yet there is nothing to prevent us thinking that the authors of the Bible had a spiritual message; for all time.

Raspberries have a fairly good root, system and are unlikely to suffer during a spell of dry weather to the same extent as strawberries. They also have the advantage of bearing several successive heavy crops of'large-sized berries without renewal of the plantation. They respond to good culture careful, timely pruning, and to applications of fertilizer:' . A raspberry is the most, popular of all bush fruits. It is used for jellies, jams, preserves, dessert with sugar and cream, is canned, and is eaten fresh out of 'the han'd; it is air so' -used as a flavoring for mild fruits such as Saskatoon berriqs, and is the foundation of a popular hot-weather drink, "raspberry vinegar." A raspberry plantation may be easily established. The rooted suckers are sold -at moderate prices by nurserymen. The roots may be planted in .spring or autumn, but early spring planting is generally most satisfactory. Red Raspberries, are available in many varieties. Black raspberries are not so hardy, and require some winter protection. The Older and Hilbbrri are moderately hardy. The purple raspberries, such as the Columbian, are grown 'on a small scale, as' are also the yellow varieties such as Golden Queen. Among the vrieties of red raspberries grown on the experimental station, at -Morden, the Newman, the Latham, the King, arid the Herbert are in greatest demand. The Ohta ,is a hardy variety and has a light colored berry of medium to large and the color of fruit is somewhat uneven. The Newman and the Latham are large, dark red berries, firm, of good quality and of rather late season. The Newman has' sturdy but shorter canes than the Latham. The King is a good cropper, doing well on heavy soils, and the canes are hardy. The Herbert is a heavy yieider with hardy canes..Its large fruit is especially suited to the home market. TM10 MANFF-WIN DEHA5ERE HIGHWAY COMPI/KTE1) CANADIAN CROPS Hank of Montreal Summarizes Conditions Throughout the Dominion The crop report of the Bank of Montreals follows: General Situation two weeks late, except in British Columbia, it is earlier than usual. Conditions generally favourable in Prairie Provinces, where seeding will be general in a few days. Slightly smaller wheat acreage expected. Seeding has just begun in Ontario, not yet started in Quebec or Maritime Provinces. Fall wheat wintered well. Prairie Provinces Seeding is general, except in Re- gina and Winnipeg districts, where preparations are delayed with floods. Ih the Province of Alberta, however, there was an extremely dry month, but this' was followed by a general rain throughout the Province during the last week of April, which has been very beneficial and improves prospects. The reports', from .the various districts are as follows:_������������������ Edmonton , District: Wheat seeding will be completed in a few days. Acreage about same as last year, but for-coarser grains is slightly reduced; Calgary District: Seeding general acreage less than last year: .Letfi- bridge District: Sufficient rain for germination fell during the week, but there is little reserve moisture in soil.

The road, which was' built by the engineering division of the Canadian National Parks-Branch, is important because it is the first highway across the central Rockies anil also because it forms the last link in the great, (i,000-mile Circle Tour, a system 'of motor highways which extends down the Pacific coast ' from Seattle to southern California, . returning via the Grand Canyon, the Yellowstone' and the United States Glacier nation al parks to the Canadian boundary. The booklet does not profess to be a complete guide but tells in an interesting way the story of the construction of the road and' gives a brief description of some of the attractive points along the route. The Vermilion Pass Tt is interesting to, note that so long ago as 1858, Sir James Hector, ��������� geologist to the Palliser Expedition, ,who explored this region in connection with his search for a suitable pass.for a railway, pointed out the feasibilty of the route for a road. "Of the passes traversed by our ; expedition," he wrote, "the most favourable and inexpensive to render available for wheeled conveyance would be , Vermillion pass, as the most gradual of them all." After Hector's discovery of the Kickirig- horse pass and its' selection for the. route of the . Canadian Pacific, Railway, tlie Vermilion pass was practically forgotten, but when tlie project of a transmohtane motor highway was formulated in 1912 the low elevation of this pass at once suggested it as a desirable route for a motor highway which would ar. the same time .open up the glories of the central Rockies' and give access to Banff National Park. Every Mile a Surprise The booklet is illustrated with 32 halftone engravings which indicate the beauty and grandeu-' of the scenery through wliich tlie" road passes. One of tlie most striking of these is' Sinclair canyon, where the road has been blasted through tow-' ering walls of red rock. "To one who lias not known them," say������ the writer, "it is impossible to describe the delights of the new motor highway. From the eastern wall of the Rockies to the Columbia valley Is a little more than 125 miles and every mile is a surprise and an enchantment. It does not matter whether the motorist enter - by the eastern or western gateway, he is swept at once into an enchanted world. The magnificence of the mountain ranges and the immensity of the scale on which they hav* been laid out, refuse to- be put into words. Something is left our. in every picture or photograph. Only the eye can gather the sense of height and vastness, the infinite serenity and majesty, which thrill the beholder on his first glimpse of the Canadian Rockies.. The endless succession of ranges billowing o'f to the distance as far as the eye can see, the countless variety of forms j- peak after peak rearing, its glorious bulk more than a mile,up into the radiant blue, the shifting play of light and shade, the indescribable varition of colour, yea, the yery opulence of the sunshine itself are a joy and a revelation."

MOKAL���������For the best printing-, something distinctive and origiaal, get an estimate from us. but urge that those most needed should be made' first of all. In short, should preference be given to making roads that parallel existing railways, or those running at right angles into poorly served territory? Should the public moeny be spent in extra facilities for prosperous regions, or by providing facilities for backward ones? The "right" angle" policy means transport for new areas and thus benefits the whole country by developing it. Further, it claims that the new common-carrier be placed on equal terms with the other common carriers; by license; filing of tariffs; providing for the security of goods or passengers', financial responsibility; and by paying for -bed (that is the public on a fair basis.

The new method of collection does not come into effect till August 1/ according to a telegram received on Saturday from his' head office in Toronto by Mr. Hugh Dalton secretary of the B. C. division of the Canadian Manufacturers' Association ' Collection of the tax on importation, production or sale, is along the lines urged' on 'the government aU the year by manufacturers^ retailers and jobbers alike, and they are delighted at the announcement that henceforth (i per cent, will be collected at the source of production. "It will simplify collection, it will be easier on everyone, and will be more' economical than the very irksome method of last year," said one of the city retailers. "The sales tax was the bugbear of the retail business, a source of endless and irritating trouble,, and everyone is glad to be rid of the annoyance of it. If it is collected at the source of production we have no. complaint, because it will simply merge as part of the cost of the commodity,", he added. 1 NOTARY BUBL1C Marriage Licences Issued REAL ESTATE���������Money to Loan on Good Farm Mortgages gffa&JBgSgiBiB^gBfi^ CASH GROCERY "THE STORE OF SATISFACTION" WE ADVERTISE WHAT WE SELL; WHAT WE SELL ADVERTISES US; WE PAY FOR PATRONAGE ' AND VALUE Cowan's Instant Cocoa, easily made, a tin Dutch Cocoa, a lb. 9 30<* 25<* 251 Rhubarb, .6. lbs. for 3& Grape Fruit, 4 for , a'~A Soap Flakes, 2 lbs. for ' '.'.'.'.'.'.'.'���������"' 85 Campbell's Pork and Beans in Tomato Sauce," a'tin 15 FRESH VEGETABLES OE ALL KINDS abbotsford:s exclusive grocery store WE DELIVER THE GOODS FREE OF CHARGE Phone 55 Phone 55 currences of everyday life.

His mann'.r was alert and apparently carefree. A hint of a smile passed over his face when he was told to stand while the charge of murder was read to him by the clerk of tlie court. He is a clean-cut appearing lad. In reply to the charge read by the clerk of the court he spoke clearly and with no suggestion of nervousness or hesitancy, "Not guilty." The most sensational testimony of the day was given by Thomas Herbert Burton, whose 15th birthday was but a few weeks ago, and who testified to being Smith's companion when Lorenz was shot and killed. He told of events which had occurred leading up to the killing of the young bank clerk. He spoke of robberies and plans of robberies and hold-ups as casually as if he were telling about the humdrum oc- der was withdrawn. Sentences were deferred. The Blue Bird Group of the Canadian Girls in Training, who have- been under the leadership of Mrs A E. Naylor of Hatzic, have been awarded the pennant of the Westminster and Fraser Valley district for leading in the recent "Buy a Star" Campaign.
