Meeting The regular monthly meeting of the Anyox Parent Teacher Association was held in the Public School on Monday, January 16th. when Mr. Sinclair, manager of the local branch of the Canadian Bank of Commerce, gave a very interesting and)instructive talk on "Banking." During the evening solos were very creditably rendered by Mrs. Pinckney, and Mr. J. L. Anderson, accompanied by Mrs. Kent, and were very much enjoyed by those present. A report of the Christmas Concert was read, showing total receipts $57.82 and total expenditures $48.68; the largest item of this viz: $39.20 being for materials for the various costumes. Although the proceeds were small, the concert was nevertheless a decided success and much credit was due to the pupils and also the teachers who were responsible for the training. The association also wish to thank the many mothers and interested ladies of the Costume Committee, who, under the able convenorship of Mrs. W. F. Eve, successfully completed a great deal of work in the short time allowed. This committee was composed of Mesdames W. Simpson, K. O. Peterson. Nellor, Hart, J. L. Stewart, B. Thorsteinsson, J. Cody, A. Cameron, Kirby. A. Gigot. D. Roy, McMillan, Shelton, Kidd, Patrick and L. Campbell; also Misses Richards, Hoadley and Hamilton, who, besides helping to train the children, also helped in the making of the costumes. For the very efficient serving of suitable refreshments to the children, after the concert, credit is due to the Refreshment Committee, under the capable convenorship of Mrs. H. Kirk and Mrs. P. MacDougall, assisted by Mrs. McMaster, and Mrs. N. McLeod. The association wish to take this opportunity of thanking all other members who helped to make this concert a success; also the Community League and officials of the Granby Company. The Convenor of the Sports' Committee reported that the money voted for the public school basketball teams had been expended for sweaters. The girls of the public school have thus far made a cleanup of their so called rivals from the high school; but the boys' division stands tied two games all. Speech on Banking by Mr. Sinclair Creates Interest A very successful meeting of the P. T. A. was held on Monday evening when Mr. Sinclair, manager of the Anyox branch of the Bank of Commerce delivered an address on "Banking" to an audience pf fifty parents. The speaker touched upon the history of banking with occasional humourous illustrations from early records. He showed that modern banking practice is comparatively a recent development side by side with which still exist certain practices that flourished in medieval times. With special emphasis on banking in Canada he dwelt upon the Bank Act of which he gave a masterly analysis and an explanation of those sections which are of particular interest to the general public. In dealing with the banks as "trustees of the people's wealth" Mr. Sinclair filled the role of ambassador of the great institution whtch he represents most acceptably to a very appreciative audience. Additional pleasant features of the evening were solos by Mrs. Pinckney and Mr. Anderson before and after the speech of the evening. Mrs. A. R. Kent very kindly played the accompaniments. On the initiative of the executive excellent refreshments were served. Successful ArcadianOrchestra Dance A good crowd attended the Dance on Friday evening January 13th. held in the Elks Hall by the Arcadians' Orchestra. The Music was excellent and everyone present thoroughly enjoyed themselves. The dancing was from 9 tol. Paid-up membership in the asso ciation has now risen to forty-two with promise of being further swell ed in the near future. The govern ing provincial body has presented the local branch with a large scroll of the Wier version of "0 Canada which was unveiled for the first time at Monday's session. The meeting passed a hearty vote of thanks to Messrs. F. M. Kelley and H. Kirk for having effected the repair of the Balopticon, an expensive projection lantern that the association some time ago presented to the schools. Once tried, always used,* none other will suit.

Stores-Office Team Out Of League At a meeting of the executive of the Anyox basketball league on Tuesday it was decided to allow the Stores-Office team to be withdrawn from the Senior Division. Tlie remainder of the sohedule for second half of the season will be arranged for a three-team league. The other teams will be allowed to use the remaining playera of the team withdrawn. This will overcome the necessity of calling upon intermediate players to fill in the gaps on some of the senior teams. The frequent,appearance of high school players on the floor in senior games has raised some question of their status in the intermediate league but a check-up of the games played reveals no cases of ineligi bility. Teachers' Association Discuss Plans The teachers of the Anyox Schools came together on Tuesday to discuss plans for continuing a branch of the Provincial Teachers' Federation. The President, Mr. D. J. Hartley, outlined the history of the local branch which is organized as the'South Atlin Teachers' Association. Membership is open to the teaohers at Alice Arm, Kincolith, Stewart, Premier and other schools in the district. The Association aims to promote the pro- fessional growth and welfare of its members, and by the interchange of ideas to advance the cause of education, and to assist in the solution of the community's educa tion problems. The next meeting will be held on Monday afternoon, February sixth, in the Anyox School. For a smart looking, perfect fitting suit of clothes see Stan Ballard, Anyox Tailor Shop.

Alice Arm Chamber of Mines Hold Monthly Meeting The regular monthly meeting of the Alice Arm branch of the British Columbia Chamber of Mines was held on Monday evening at the School House. President O. Evindson presided. The minutes of the last meeting were read by secretary A. D. Yorke and adopted. A letter was read from the Department of Mines regarding the petition for a trunk road from the end of the steel of the Dolly Varden railway to the Kitsault Glacier. The letter stated that the proposal would be considered,, and that the matter would be taken up with Mr. H. T. James, resident engin eer. The secretary also stated that a cheque for $40.00 had been received from the head office in Vancouver. Some time ago they stated that they would give $1.00 for every member holding a $5.00 paid-up yearly ticket. Secretary A. D. Yorke forwarded forty names of ;'a«l members and the $40.00 cheque was the result. Anyox P.T.A. Will Hold Masquerade Dance Much of the business transacted at the P. T. A. meeting was related to the dance which has become an annual institution. A series of motions passed in quick succession by the meeting endorsed the appointment of Miss Hestyr Richards as General Convenor, decided that the dance should take the form of a Masquerade, fixed the date for Monday, February 13th. and set the admission charge at one dollar a couple with fifty cents for each extra lady. As in the past the association will rely upon the goodness of its friends for donations of refreshments. Tickets will be printed and sold in advance. With numerous proposed expenditures the Association is faced with the necessity of at least equalling past records of profit on the dance, the Christmas Concert not having replenished the coffers to anything like the extent expected. Mrs. Hilbert recently arrived in Anyox on a visit to her daughter, Mrs. L. McQuarrie." LAUNCH "AWAKE" Will be off the Alice Arm and Anyox run at end of January for overhaul, until further notice Rinky Dinks, Mechanics and High School Win Basketball At the Gym. on Friday evening the Rinky Dinks took the measure of the Concentrator Intermediates to the tune of 20—5.

The teams lined up as follows: Concentrator: W. Ruckhaber 1; C. Docherty 1; Stewart 3; M, Dooherty; Webber. Rinky Dinks: C. Dresser 8; T. Cloke 9; Deeth 2; Carney 1; W. Cloke; E. Barclay.

E. MOSS, Editor, .and Publisher. With the progress of mining, the B. C. Chamber of Mines has an increasingly large field of use- fullness, and much interest is being taken in this organization which has for its object the furthering of one of the principal industries of the Province. The annual meet ing is to be held this evening (10th) when officers will be elected for 1928 and general subjects dis cussed. Apart from the dissemination of information to hundreds of callers, the B. C. Chamber of Mines works along several particular lines Perhaps principal of these is the course of lectures held weekly throughout the winter, the speakers being the resident engineers and prominent mining men. These lectures have proved highly interesting. Classes are held for prospectors, and school pupils that are interested in mining by the collection of ore samples. An important feature of the work of the Chamber is the mineral display made annually at the Vancouver Exhibition, which is developing a magnificent permanent array of ore specimens from all parts of the Province. Aid. Frank E. Woodside, president, himself interested in mining, gives considerable of his time to the work, and with the able assistance of Henry M. Browning, the indefatigable and obliging secretary, the Chamber more and more is establishing itself as a factor in the progress of the industry. During the year, the quarters on Pender Street West have been enlarged, and the larger facilities have proved a great convenience.—Western Canada Mining News. Automobiles Are Large Metal Users The importance of the automobile industry as a consumer of metals is not generally realized. About a quarter of all the aluminum, tin, and nickel produced in or imported into the United States finds its way into motor cars, as well as about an eighth of the iron and steel, copper, and lead. Pouring of Copper at Noranda Smelter Takes Place Pouring of the first copper at the new smelter of Noranda Mines, Ltd., at Rouyn, Quebec, took place at 4 o'clock in the morning on December 16th. Ceromonies appropriate to the occasion were held and participated in by a number of the officials of the company and guests, including J. Y. Murdoch, president of the company; Messrs. Thompson and Chad bourn, of New York, managing directors and promotors of the original syndicate which bought the company; Ed. Home, the discoverer, and members of the Tremoy Lake Syndicate which financed him; L. C. Fletcher, field engineer for Noranda Mines, who had charge of the property until 1925; A. E. Wheeler, who designed the smelter, and F. Snow his assistant; F. M Connell and J. H. C. Waite, of Toronto; and Ernest Hibbert, the manager, and his staff, who have brought the enterprise to its present stage. The blowing in of the Noranda smelter marks au important event in the history of mining in eastern Canada, as it is the first copper smelter in Canada to be built east of British Columbia. The plant has a rated capacity of 1,000 tons a day from two separate units- rated at 500 tons each. The ore is, however, an easy one to treat, so that the rated capacity will probably be considerably exceeded. World's Copper Output Keeps Up Copper production for November, according to the A. B. of M. S., was at the rate of 4,730 tons a day, compared with 4,680 in October. This is based on reports from countries producing about 98 per cent of the world total. November showed the largest figure reached since last February. Mexico, Chile, and the Belgian Congo showed increases. Production from the United States was a little higher in total tons, but the daily rate was definitely lower than in the preceding month. Forty Thousand Rein- Deer Rounded Up The greatest round up in history is progressing at Akiak Alaska. Forty-thousand reindeer are being worked through a corral as a result of a gigantic consolidation of the herds. Two companies organized to supply fresh reindeer meat will install a cannery at Kuskokwim River. Advertise in the Herald Alice Arm The Bonanza Silver Camp of B. C.

Has Been Authorised The dividend of $432,262, declared last July and withdrawn, was again authorized by the stockholders of Granby Consolidated Mining, Smelting and Power company at a meeting held in New York. This is at th'e rate of $1 a share. Also the stockholders authorized a total distribution of $1,- 780,406. The dividend declared in July was withdrawn in deference to tlie British Columbia law which does not permit disbursements by the directors from capital unless it is authorized by the stockholders. When the $432,262 disbursement will be made has not been announced, but in some quarters it is assumed that it will be in May. The forthcoming disbursement will increase the grand total to $11,028,- 064 and will be the first payment made in many years.
