In spite of the 'fine weather many
pupils" are, absent from school * on
account of illness.
GOLD MINING  PROSPECTS
It was Georgina Boug's birthday on
the 20th, Tom Forshaw's on the 23rd.
The secretary of. the .Greenwood
Tigers.would be pleased if the members
would kindly pay their monthly dues.
The pupils of Division II showed
their enthusiasm in .The Junior Red
Cross by selling. 1000 Christmas seals
in a very few days. The - money will
help the people- of British Columbia
who have tuberculosis.
Division II vanquished Division I
" in the Challenge Spelling Competition.
Grade VI carried off honors with a
i' standing of 100%.   Other results were
as follows:   Grade VII���99.17%; Grade
VIII���97.9%; Grade V���95.62%; Grade
IV���86.67%.
' -The "Tigers-are handicapped by the
disappearance of the basketball pump
- and lacer.. They would greatly a'ppre-
' date the return of these articles (and
no questions asked). '
Prizes for a "Bowl of Fruit" were
awarded: in Division. Ill as follows:
Grade II���Georgina Boug.
"Grade III���Cecil Maletta.
There will be a meeting at 4 p.m. on
Friday the 23rd, in the Schoolhouse
in _ the interest of formation of a
Christmas Tree for the children. Come
and give us your ideas.

What are you thrashing" your little
son for? -
He will get his school report tomorrow, and I must go away tonight.
THE RADIO GOES TO SCHOOL
Will the school textbook, pass into
history .with the coming age of'motion
picture and radio? There are those
who may welcome the thought. Is the
child of the future to discard his bulky
school bag in favor of a pocket receiving
set? Will the coming sixth grader take
pride in turning the crank of a small
camera instead of lugging home his
big geography? The convention in
Joliet, 111., at which the conjecture
which might arouse such questions was
\���-recently-made���glimpsed-a'theoretical
school of the future where sermons on
screens and books in running radios are
the order of the day. There is doubtless something in it, as all the .world
knows, says the Christian Science Monitor.
But the gradual supplanting of the
traditional textbook is the trend of an
age seeking to unshackle the child from
an artificial form of education separated
from daily living.   The textbook made
school-learning   a   thing   apart. - Toe
often the graduate found himself suddenly in an unfamiliar world in which
book knowledge was no longer distilled
for his special case; then having no
study habits which applied to the new
circumstances, he dubbed himself educated and called  it a day.   Certain
: modern schools, are now using mimeographed outlines in place of textbooks,
and are. filling.bookshelves (incidentally
that school bag also) with fascinating
books'of travel, magazines marked for
special articles, newspapers, biographies,
classic and modern fiction and nonfic-
tion;   The child of such a school should
make   an  easy   adjustment  between
broadening his thought-horizons  before and after graduation, for the processes are obviously more akin than
under* the old one-textbook .method.
Schoolbook  men   are   following   this
trend.   Some are leading it effectively.
It may therefore be sound to point
out that, while in-this movement the
radio and the motion picture are essential," they are not the essential factors.
The wide-awake school realizes that a
modern, vigorous educational idea' demands every possible form of textbook���the, museum/zoo, park, woodland, factory, public library, symphony
concert, handwork.   If the traditional
textbook goes, it will doubtless "be because * educators are jasing these, and
other, means of enriching the child's
experience���the radio and the motion
picture not least among them. "Certainly in such company a tremendous
opportunity is offered to the screen and
the loudspeaker if they are to measure
up   to  this  compelling  challenge  of
modern educational ideals.

At Long Lake, close to Greenwood,
gold-telluride deposits extend the entire length of the "lake' on the east
side.- There are, several veins, and in
places they  obtain  large  dimensions.
The Old Jewel Mine, operated by an
English cqmpany, produced considerable gold.   Mr. C. A. Banks, managing
director of the B. - C. "Silver, has acquired this property with a view to
further   operation.    What   the   camp
needs is a consolidation! of all properties "and equipment,' with a modern
plant adapted to complex ores of this
type  which made -famous  the gold-
fields of Western Australia..
- At the head of the North Fork of the
Kettle River, Dean Brock, when examining that district for the Geological
Survey, found promising gold deposits
in  a  zone  which  evidently  extends
across   the   divide   south   of   Cherry
Creek' where the   writer has seen outcrops of -free *gold.   This  is  in  the
Vernon mining  division, the mineral
resources of which are much neglected.
Mission  Creek,   which  heads  in  the
same   watershed,   was   an   important
producer of placer gold 'in the early
days.   Gold associated with telluridcs
has been found on both the east and
west sides of Okanagan Lake, and some
development has been done at. Ewihg's
Landing.   Siwash , Creek should carry
quartz veins as it' has been extensively
worked for placer gold.   A new strike is
reported by'Mr.-H. J. Burton, a pioneer,
on the north side of the creek.
The Osoyoos district was the first
producer and dividend-payer from lode
gold mining in the province, when the
'Cariboo 'mine of Camp McKinney
made that camp famous. Mr. C. F.
Law of Vancouver, has ��� acquired the
Waterloo mine, which carries high
gold values,-with a view to reviving
the life .of a camp which was full of
romance in its - halcyon days, and
formed the stage for one of��the most
sensational gold-brick robberies on
record. The Fairview camp., is another of the old camps that should
come back. It has numerous quartz
veins carrying payable, values. Consolidated Mining & Smelting Co. has
secured a-large..area-, there, evidently
with a view of testing" it out. If-"results are ��� sufficiently encouraging that
company will no. doubt reopen, the
camp,'and if it does, prospectors and
other investors will" follow.
On the Tulameen River there are
promising occurrencesjof gold-quartz.
The placer production .of that river
and its tributaries suggests important
possibilities. The Coquihalia gold belt,
sQUth_of_Hope_has^undergone_suffici--
ent. development* to establish, the fact
that the geology is similar to that of
the Bridge River goldfield.

(Grand Forks Gazette)
"Expenditure of $1,000,000 or more in
construction work on the old Granby
smelter site of a- customs ore concentrating pant that will handle probably
2,000 tc-ns daily" of ores from numerous
properties now-under development in
the Boundary district, is the auspicious
program - which Mr. R. Crowe-Swords
of Vancouver, representing* the  Hercules  Consolidated  Mining,   Smelting'
and Power Corporation Limited, outlined to the City'Council at a meeting
last Wednesday evening, an agreement
covering which was approved by thc
Council.
Building of such .a- plant will, .of
cqursc, be contigent on tests already
made of the 12,000,000 tons of smelter
slag being borne out by thorough exploration with diamond drill, and the
agreement being ratified by the principals of -the Hercules Consolidated.
However, vit is the intention of Mr.
Crowe-Swords to have' the matter
placed before his principals - without
delay and exploratory work on the
molten slag pile would be commenced
early in the new year. In view of the
assay" returns already obtained from
sampling of the smelter slag in a cursory way there, is ample reason to
believe that the values to be found
therein will justify proceeding with the
undertaking which promises to rival if
not.surpass the big operations* which
were carried on there for years by the
Granby Consolidated Mining,' Smelting
and Power Company with its'smelting
works that were -the largest in the
Empire."

Greenwood, one of the busiest -mining cities iri-the interior 20 years ago,
may stage a comeback if present developments mature. Negotiations are
in "hand by a strong financial group,
American and Canadian', for the amalgamation of the Glasord Mining .Corporation and its holdings, in which
Glasord shareholders will receive four
shares of new stock for each one now
held. Par value of the new stock will
be 25 cents, and preparations are being
made for the immediate incorporation
of the B. C. company which will have
its headquarters in this province.
Capitalization is to:$2,500,000,-in 25 cent
shares.
The holdings of the new company
will include 60; crown granted claims in
the Greenwood district,. all of which
adjoin, and which included the Crescent and other claims. This will be
one of the largest consolidations'recently effected, and when carried into
effect presages activity in the Greenwood  district.

the number.of beans in; a jar which
was 1257. Mrs. C. A. S. Atwood and
Miss Alta Deporter each made a guess
of 1260. In the draw Miss Deporter
won the cake basket donated by the
Greenwood Catholic Women's League.
That electrical prospecting of mineral claims be allowed as assessment
work is being considered by the department of mines at Victoria. This method of ascertaining the legation of ore
bodies has been definitely proven and
is being utilized in all parts of the continent. A-preliminary electrical survey
is valuable in that unnecessary, and expensive work is avoided, and when the
survey is followed by diamond drilling
the exact value of the ore indicated can
be ascertained.-. Because of its great
value, the government of Quebec and
the Dominion government allows electrical prospecting to rank as assessment
work, and it is not improbable - that
similiar endorsation will be given by
the minster of mines at Victoria:

cook said said it wouldn't be ready
until the end of the day. The customer
replied that he did not mind, and would

He. returned and saw the cake,-and
did not like it.   He wanted a script "S".
The pastry cook said he would make
another, but it would take a day or so.
The customer decided to call. at the
end of two days. He did, and liked
the cake. i
' "Where shall I deliver it?" -asked
the pastry cook.
"Don't deliver it," replied the customer. ���" "I'll eat it here."���Pearson's.

W. M. Neal, general manager of the
Canadian Pacific Railway in the west,
accompanied by C. A. Cotterell, general
superintendent for British Columbia,
and party, spent two days in Nelson
over the week 0end, leaving Saturday
for the east.
They looked oyer improvements along
the Kettle Valley line and new-structures completed at this divisional
centre.
They spent some time along the
route""of the proposed Proctor-Kootenay
landing railroad/Saturday. ,Mr..Neal
had little to, say regarding the line. '
Results obtained by the. survey parties along the route will be closely
checked, then officials will make a
decision-whether or not the line will be
built, said Mr. Neal.
Completion of this line along Kootenay Lake would give Nelson direct
rail connection with Calgary and would
do away with the passenger boat and
barge service along Kootenay Lake.
Much interest is being taken in the
rich coal mines west of town, and the
workings are showing valuable findings
in anthracite and lignite coal.   A large   ,
crew of men were seen here last Thurs- '
day   and   were   the   cause   of   much
speculation in the  city.   There were
rumors that a Brickette plant_was pro=_=__
jected, similar to the one in Southern
Saskatchewan, and that the railroad
was putting- in a siding.   Further investigation disclosed the fact, that the
men consisted of a few hoboes' preparing'their midday meal."

RECORD GOLD OUTPUT
FOR   CANADIAN  MINES
Ottawa���Canada attained a new high
record on gold production last year
with 1,852,000 fine ounces, valued at
$38,500,00, or more than $200,000 over
1926." Canada is jthus the third largest
gold-producing country in the world,
United States and South Africa being
first and second. The output in fine
ounces is divided as follows: Ontario,
1,627,050; ' British Columbia, 183,094;
Yukon, 30,935; Quebec, 8331; Nova
Scotia 3151; Manitoba and Alberta, 224.
An elderly lady walked into a railroad ticket office in Toronto, and asked

(Cranbrook Courier)
An interesting character visited the
city on Friday last in the person of
James Henderson, pioneer of West
Kootenay. Mr. Henderson's breaking
his journey on his return from his old1
home in the-east, though unintentional,
brought no regrets. He was glad; that
he missed his train while lunching
here, he told Charles Buckless, former
Greenwood' man and an old friend.
Later Mr. Henderson located Mr. McCurrach, another of his old cronies io
exchange reminiscences and announce
himself thoroughly at home.
Mr. Henderson since coming to West
Kootenay in 1865 has had a colorful
career, as a prospector, big game hunter
and business man. He formerly, managed a papular hotel at Deadwood in
the palmy days and also resided in
Greenwood when that city was. a booming mining camp.- The old, sourdough
now retired to his home in the Kettle
Valley is as active as a man of * thirty-
five and extremely ambitious for the
.future of the province.
He expects to live to see the Kooten-;
ays develop into one of the big mining
countries of the.world.
SCHOOL FOR INDIANS
i
The Dominion Government is completing a program of school building for
the benefit of Indians. in British Cp-
bia with the construction of a school at
Alert Bay. The new building, which
will cost about $160,000 will be. the
fourth of the same type to be erected in
the Province in the last five years. It
will be of most modern design, giving -
the natives classrooms, recreation.
rooms, catering facilities and heating
equipment on a scale usually found
only in, large city; schools. About 150
Indian children will be accomodated in
the building, which, will stand in the
center of a large native community.

CHRISTMAS TREES
. About seven million trees will be used
in North America this Christmas. The
question immediately arises���Are we
devastating our forests by.brightening
up the homes and making millions of
youngsters happy at Christmas time?
Prominent authorities such as Dr.
CD. Howe, Dean, Faculty of Forestry,
University of Toronto, in Canada and
Wm. G. Howard, Superintendent of
State Forests, New York State, in
United States say 'No'. Dean Howe
says "an area of-thirty square miles if
set aside and managed for Christmas
tree production, would supply the present demand for each year for all time".
The average. size of the Christmas
tree marketed in the states is six feet.
A spruce tree of this size can be grown
in the nursery inside of ten years and
in the forest in fifteen.
Mr. Howard says���"Trees are for use,
and there is no other use to which they
could be put that would contribute so
much joy to mankind as their use by
children on this great holiday." He
further states "In our state, a large
proportion of Christmas trees are cut
from. pasture lands, where they are a
nuisance, or from other lands which
the owner desires to clear for farm
purposes/so that the trees would be cut
in any event and the marketing of
them for Christmas gives, the owner
some return for. his labor.
In Europe where Forestry practice
has reached its highest development,
Christmas trees are thinnings which
are' culled out of the forest, which
practice actually improves the forest.
Hence there is scarcely a hut dweller
who has hot his Christmas tree.
In Canada, the Canadian Forestry
Association would advocate that, in
���connection==with=forest=i=plantations,.
there should be planted some spruce
and balsam for Christmas trees.
When then they reach the proper size
the owner can cut them out and market
them and still leave the timber tree
to mature for a timber crop. This
source of supply would probably be
sufficient to supply the home demand.
For export trade plantations of spruce
and balsam should prove a profitable
businessA Two, thousand Christmas
.trees..couldA,be grown, on one acre.
Thus, on a ten year rotation, ton
square,miles would supply 1*4 million
trees for all time, at a planting cost of
less than one cent per tree. Here is
an opportunity for enterprising community, townships, or individuals to
utilize some abandoned farms to good
purpose. This,year in New Brunswick
alone there, is a demand for three million Christmas trees..
Fof the present, however, certain
rules of conduct. should be observed.
To cut the top off a perfectly good
timber tree and the leave the body to
rot in the bush is a criminal waste
and unworthy of a self respecting
citizen. ��To take a Christmas tree from
private property is plain theft and a
question of public morals that should
not to be tolerated by any community.
Why not father select your tree from
pasture land or if selecting in the
bush choose cedar or balsam which
- are prolific reproducers the utilization
ot which would do little harm.       a,
By Harry Steinfield, Aviation Editor of
Portland, Oregon, News
I submit to you here a true story of
a battle with death; a bitter struggle
and brief, told in the clear, succinct
vernacular of the flying man. Any
attempt on the part of a mere writer
to embellish the account would detract
from its value..
The speaker is Cecil Graul, operator
of the Graul Flying service of Portland
and Vancouver, Wash,, a graduate of
the Rankin School of Flying, and a
skilled pilot. ...
I was flying Jim Hallett last Thursday
from. Scappoose to Vancouver. Jim,
who is one of my students, was in the
rear, or control, cockpit and I was in
the forward compartment at the'dual'.
We were over the Willamette river at-
an altitude of 1500 feet when Jim asked
me to show him the barrell(roll.
"In this, manouver the ship makes a
complete lateral revolution, Ajust like a
barfell rolling over on its side.
"I dived a little to pick up speed and
turned over iri the othodox manner
for the first half of the roll. But as
the ship eased over on its back the
control stick left its socket and came
loose in my hand.
"Out of control, the plane went into
a tight tailspin. I fought to place the
end of the stick back into the socket,
but we were hurtling around so fast
that it was impossible,   a   '     A;>
"I yelled to Jim to take the dual
controls in his cockpit and straighten
us out. The wind whistling in the
struts and braces and the noise of the
motor drowned my voice. I yelled
again, but Jim didn't hear me. He
thought I was doing the spin on purpose.
"In a last effort to make Jim understand our predicament I braced myself against the walls of the cockpit and
stuck the control stick in front of his
face.
"He grasped the situation at once
and.leveled us out, our landing gear
skimming the surface of the river,"
Two men were sitting opposite each
other in a Tube: train. Presently one
of them produced a notebook and proceeded to make a sketch of the other.
After he had completed the drawing
he closed the book and put it in his
pocket.
The man opposite was both interested and gratified by this attention,
and, leaning forward, said, "I presume
you are an artist, sir?"   .
."No," replied the other, "I'm not
exactly an artist. I'm a designer of
door-knockers.'.'���Pearson's.

COST OF FEEDING HORSES
(Experimental Farms Note)
Although the tractor is being used
successfully, for a great many operations, the work horse may still be considered as the principal motive power
on the great majority, of the farms of
Canada, consequently, practically every
farmer should be interested in the
actual cost of feeding horses, particularly horses that are working most of
the time.
At the Dominion Experimental Station, Kapuskasing, Ontario, records are
kept of the amount and.cost of feed
consumed by all the work horses.
The average figures obtained over a
five year period are as follows: Number
of horses fed, 14.4;�� hours worked per
horse per day, 8.7; hay. per horse per
day, 19 pounds; grain per horse per day,
15.5 pounds; and cost of feed per horse
per year, $156.65.
It may be noted that the average cost
of feed per horse per year of $156.65,
would equal about 86 cents per day for
a two-horse team. It should be pointed
out, however, that this figure represents
conditions���where^the-^horses===are
employed almost every working hour
day in the year at- reasonable heavy,
work and, therefore, the cost of feeding
is much higher than it would be for an
idle ;horse, or even one that' was
working for only a part of the time.
In arriving at these figures,**the;hay
was charged at local farm prices, that
is, the amount it would sell for on the
farm without being pressed or hauled;
The grain was charged at local market
prices.      .       . ���. .

IN THE LEGISLATURE
DIABETES DEATHS !!
RISE AS SALE OF
��� SUGAR INCREASES
Increased consumption of sugar" is
given as.a probable explanation of the
increased death rate from - diabetes
duringAthe last thirty years, in a
^bulletin issued by the New. York City
Health Department. According ,to the
bulletin, the. diabetes death rate has
increasedfifty per cent for men during
that period, and 150 per cent for
women. "Hand in hand with this has
been a corresponding increase in the
per capita consumption of sugar," the
bulletin continues, "so that it appears
probable that we,especially the ladies,
are overtaxing our bodies with too
much sugar." The average number of
deaths per year for the .five-year penod
ended with 1902 is given as 395.
Average for successive five-year periods
from theh to the present are given as
follows: 1902-1907, 588; 1907-1912, 748;
1912-1917, 1,049; 1917-1922, 1,122, 1922-
1927, 1,359.
SWORDS FLASH IN "LOVE MART"
Lovers.of swordplay, with rapier, foil
or broadsword, will be entertained
royalty at the Greenwood Theatre on
Saturday, Nov. 24th, where "The Love
Mart," George Fitzmaurice's production, for First National Pictures, with
Billie Dove, Gilbert Roland and Noah
Beery, is the attraction.        '
Billie Dove has many romantic love
scenes and emotional moments; while
Roland, in the masculine lead; Armand
Kaliz, as a Creole fashion-plate; and
others, indulge in the gentle art of
fencing with brilliancy and prowess.
There is also some exciting broadsword play with slave-running pirates
in the early sequences.
Noah Beery plays the part of a husky
and belligerent slave-runner, a typical
corsair.
���Raymond Turner is a funny Negro
bodyservant.  "'���-���'
The scenes are exquisite and dramatic by turn, and throughout there
is a vein of romance that is inseparable
from New Orleans more than a
hundred years ago.
An Example
A 10-year-old boy was fuming over
his composition. His father suggested
that it would be easy enough if he
would simply describe something he
had seen.
"That won't do," said the boy. "The
teacher told us to'use figurative language."
"What do you understand by that?"
his father asked.
"Oh, that's where' you call a rooster
a chandelier."���Christian Register.
1,
Proud Father: "He's only eight and
he's got the ideas of a politician."
Friend .(consolingly): "Ah, well���
I shouldn't worry. He'll probably grow
out of it as he grows older."

*BA. AV,Neale' ''P0Pu-la-f manager
of the Chateau Frontenac, whose
appointment as-manager of the
new Royal York Hotel in Toronto
is announced to be effective November 1st. The managing of the
.Royal York is considered the most
ambitious hotel position on the
continent. Mr. Neale has steadily
risen in Canadian Pacific service
since 1911, when he transferred to
the hotel department from the
General Superintendent's office in

More than 20,000 acres of Indian
lands, which include some of the
best agricultural areas in the Peace
River district, are likely to be sold
at auction in the near future. This
action will in all probability follow,
a survey that is being made in the
north country by W. Morrison,
Inspector of Indian Agencies for
/the three western provinces,-with
headqua'i ters at Regina.
A new~ industry���badger ^farming���may be started in Saskatchewan by John Rothenberger, farmer,
of Vanguard.' Last, spring Mr.
Rothenberger caught a badger and
four pups. He built a large pen,
about 15 feet long and 4 feet wide.
During summer he fed the badgers
until they are now quite tame, and
are said" to be larger than any
badger running wild. Their coats
are in excellent condition and offers, of $18 for each skin have been
received.''
A new world record was set by
the Canadian Pacific Railway recently when a train of grain more
Uian a mile in length was operated
between Stoughton and Areola, ,in
Saskatchewan.'1' It was the longest
and heaviest grain train in history,
consisting of 135 loaded grain cars,
each approximately _ 40 feet in-
"]ength7_a_w"atef~ca"r7aAcab"6ose"'andJ
engine. The gross weight -was
8,722 tons and the total contents
of the cars were 202,000 bushels
of grain.
The enthusiasm of the - citizens
of Quebec is so infectious that it
is an easy matter to interest visitors in'winter sports, stated J.' G.
Str'athdee, winter sports'" manager *
of the Chateau Frontenac, in giving
a forecast'-of this winter's programme. . Skating, skiing and tobogganing will be in full swing as
usual; the dog derby will most certainly take place; and the ice carnivals and storming of the citadel
will probably be featured again
he said. Mr. Strathdee mentioned'
the splendid co-operation given the
winter activities at the Chateau
Frontenac by the Quebec Winter
Sports Association. .    .

The number of disciples of Isaac

A. O. Seymour,    general    tourist
agent of the Canadian Pacific Railway at Montreal   ln   announcing1
the winners of the Ontario bunga-,'
low camp fishing trophy competi-'
tions.    Phillip Peterman of- Lau-

Edmund Slechbart of Chicago won

��� England will havo enough Can--
adian apples shortly to keep the

there is any truth in the proverb,
as ships sailing for the old country
this autumn are carrying many
boxes of souvenir apples shipped
by Canadians tj their friends overseas. This has- been the custom
for the past few years and according to J. B. Martin, manager of the
foreign department bf the Canadian Pacific Express Company, it
is becoming increasingly popular.
So great has been the demand for
fresh Canadian apples each autumn

PON the arteries of communication depend the
settlement and growth of the nation. First the
trails,.. then the rough oxcart ruts.. ��� the wagon roads
r. .the automobile high ways. ���. ��� "
The scattered population of British Columbia
has mac!e the construction of roads between
centres a .-natter of vital importance, y,et one
of almost insurmountable difficulties.
Mountain sides, have to be blasted away...
clefts and chasms tresselled ... rivers bridged!
"With the opening of the Cariboo Highway
through Fraser Canyon in 1926, the last link
of British Columbia's great arterial highway
... a highway unexcelled the world over as an
engineering feat and one of unmatched scenic
beauty ... was forged.
Eastern British Columbia greeted its western
brothers!. Markets and railways were brought
closer to the farmer, the miner, the industrialist. New fields for agricultural and trade
development were opened up.
For the ten years just past, an aggressive
highway programme has been carried out.
Thousands of miles of good roads and dozens
of sturdy bridges have been built.
_, Our roads system now totals 31,900 miles ...
an increase of over 5,000 miles during the last
ten years. Of this mileage, 12,000 miles are
earth roads; .4,000  gravel roads;  and  1,000
macadam, bituminous, concrete and cement
concrete; The 5,000 miles which were added to
our roads system include: 884 miles of main
trunk roads, 602 miles of lateral roads, 281
miles of industrial and mining roads, 1,133
miles of settlement and farm roads, and 2,000
.miles of .orjdinary_and_miniing_trails.-. -.- ���-
During the years just before 1917, a large
number of bridges had been constructed in the
Province, nearly all of which were temporary
timber structures. Since 1917, the problem of
maintenance and renewal of these structures
has been a serious one, involving a large expenditure, particularly between the years 1920
and 1927.
The policy has been to improve design of and
workmanship on temporary bridges and - to
renew all the large bridges on main highways
over the principal rivers with concrete and steel.
Today, the valuation of our 63 miles. of
bridges is nine million dollars.
This construction activity has distributed
wages "and salaries over our whole Province
and has been a material aid in bringing about
the current period of British Columbia's
prosperity.

Although the new direct
telephone line across British
Columbia to Calgary opened
on November 6 without a
hitch," no less than three _
cases of trouble developed
on the circuit the night before. Had they been undetected or unremedied, the
history-making conversations,
scheduled for the next morning, would have been "off."
But vigilant telephone
men were on the job. Test
calls revealed the trouble
cases when they developed,
and repairmen speedily made
the necessary adjustments.
It meant a sleepless night
for some, but the circuit was
clear when thej .time, for the
first call arrived.
