It was very enjoyable for both old and young and every, one spent a very happy evening The evening was opened by a lengthy entertainment programme by the ohildren. At the conclusion Santa Claus in person with his white whiskers, red coat, genial Rmile and stately stride paused long enough on his way to Anyox from Aiyansh, to distribute presents, nuts, candy, etc. to the children. Before the juvenile exclamations of delight had ceased, the supper table was ready to tempt their young appetites. Later the adults sat down and enjoyed the tasty vivands prepared and presented by the ladies of the town. Following refreshments, the floor, was cleared for dancing and with everyone glowing with the Christmas spirit, dancing was carried on until the hour of midnight.

Planned to suit the unusual occurrence of New Year's Eve falling on a Sunday, this arrangement is a happy one. The supper will be a lavish one and will be attended by- many groups of people, who have booked their places. It will be quite different from the rush and hurry of the ordinary dance supper. There will be plenty of time in which to enjoy the repast, no dances being missed through absence from the 4ance ball. The Brother Bills are exerting themselves to make this a memorable function, and there is no doubt whatever that this will be accomplished. A good floor and the best music obtainable will await the dancers and a large gay crowd will be catered for, while unusual novelties will be distributed! Book your places at the supper tables today. Enjoyable Time Spent At Christmas Dance The cold weather, the Christmas [spirit and the general good nature of everyone at this time must have combined to make the A. C. L. Christmas Dance, held in the Gym. on Friday the 22nd. a happy event, for everyone voted it the best ever. The floor, the supper, and the music by the "Revellers" were excellent, the tatter turning out some toe-tingling tunes and. tempos that kept everyone animated. The kindergarten set which was recently disposed of by the I. O. D. E. was secured by Mr. F. Graham. A substantial sum was raised for relief purposes by the disposal of this handsome set. Beach Children's A. C. L. Christmas Party Very Colorful Everybody present at the Community League Christmas Party for the children at the Beach, held in the Gymnasium on Thursday the 21st. thoroughly enjoyed the affair. The gathering glistened and sparkled with life and color. Novel and beautiful costumes abounded, and the judges had much difficulty in making their decisions. The prize for the best dressed girl went to Nanette Taylor as "Bo Peep" and John Scott was selected as the best dressed boy, he being a picturesque little jockey. In the comic section Winnie Vine topped the girls as a "B^-Baby" and Albert Gigot headed the boys as a hobo. Terry O'Brien, as a "Christmas Parcel" lead in the character costumes, as also did Nancy Gigot as "Old Man." Special prizes were awarded to Shirley Hague as "Winter and Summer;" Peggy McDougall as "Crinolin;" to the Sor- rienti boys as a "Spanish Team" and to G. Hunter and June Cleal as a "Dutch Team." Gifts off the tree were distributed by Santa Claus himself in person, and it is safe to say that the children never enjoyed themselves more thoroughly than at this party. BIRTH AT ANYOX Born, to Mr. and Mrs. A. Lookie at the Anyox Central Hospital, on Friday, December 22nd. a son. Anglican Church Choir Visits Hospital The ohoir of the Anglican Church led by the Rev. A. Abraham, visited the Hospital on Christmas morning and sang a number of carols, which were greatly enjoyed by the patients at that institution. Mr. Olof Hanson M.P. Prince George Reaches Rupert Safely Leaving Anyox about 4 a.m. on Christmas morning, the "Prince George,"reoentlydamaged through running on the rocks at Askew Point during a, snowstorm, proceeded to Prine Rupert under her own power. She was escorted by the "Salvage King." Everything possible had been done to lighten the-maimed liner in readiness for her hazardous journey, even to leaving her boats behind at Anyox to be brought along later by the Salvage Princess. Once on the drydock at Prince Rupert the work of repairing her shattered plates was immediately commenced but it is expected that she will be laid up for some considerable time. During the journey to Prince Rupert wireless communications were received or sent by the operator on the "Salvage King," these being transmitted by semaphore signalling from one vessel to the other. Alice Arm People Invited To Welcome New Year Mr. and Mrs. 0. Evindsen of the Alice Arm Hotel have issued an open invitation to everyone to be present at the Hotel on Sunday evening, in order that the New Year may be welcomed in with the usual ceremony. Refreshments will be served- Don't fail to be present and greet the coming of the new, and no doubt better year. Many Unique Costumes At Mine A. C. L. Children's Party Splendid co-operation by all concerned was responsible for the brilliant success of the Children's Party at the Mine on Thursday the 21st. This was a most colorful and gorgeous function, the hall being filled with children in beautiful and clever costumes. There were so many lovely children and so many original character costumes, that the judges' task of selecting the prize winners was extremely difficult Patient and painstaking work on the part of the grown-ups in preparing the children for this splendid carnival was evident, and worthy of high praise. Prizes were awarded as follows: best dressed girl, Roberta Ferguson "Turkish Girl;" Eleanor Carr, "Fairy;" best dressed boy: first, Robert Marsh as a Chinese Mandarin; "'2nd. Bobby Carr as an old-time Colonial; Comic boy, Kenneth McLean as a hard rock miner; Comic girl, Marion McLean as "Old Dutch Cleanser;" Original boy, Mervyn Owen as a "Gypsy;" original girl, Margaret Gibb as a Ballet Dancer. The ubiquitous Santa Claus distributed gifts from the tree to all the children, and three clowns—Ed, Blundell, J. Coggins and S. Pap- roski—kept the youngsters in an uproar of merriment. It was rumoured that Mr. McNicholas had been observed in the vicinity of the hall, but he must have been masquerading himself as no one recognized him. Ample and tasty refreshments brought a most unique and enjoyable gathering to a close.

MOSS, Editor and Publisher. What Has the New Year In Store For Us? Tomorrow at midnight the present year will pass away and a new one ushered in. The passing of 1933 will not be regretted by anyone. For the big majority it, has been a year of disappointment, distress and depression; a year of blighted ambitions and twelve months of weary waiting for better conditions. True, it redeemed itself a little during the latter stages, but the recovery was painfully slow and we have a long way to travel back to normal times, when 90 per cent of our population was employed in gainful occupations at a good living wage. But what of 1934? What it has in store for us no one can foresee. Judging from present world reports it is apparent that business is on the increase. How fast it will gain during the coming year is something the cleverest economists can not foretell. At the close of the year the world's nations have not made any concerted effort to improve world conditions. Each is working for its own benefit, in spite of the fact that the experience of the past few years have shown that no one nation can be prosperous while the others are in poverty The nations can not agree to stabil ize their currencies. They will not lower their high tariff walls, nor will they pass legislation to curtail hours of labor and take advantage of the usefulness of the present day rapid motion automatic machinery, by which goods are produced. The coming year, however, may see a start made to build up a permanent world prosperity. It will be a radical change from anything hitherto undertaken, but since man lit his first fire, made his fir^vheel and fashioned his first spffc*, conditions in the world have ever changed, and we are still a long way from the final. B. C. Silver Company Hold Annual Meeting Annual meeting of B. C. Silver Mines Ltd., London controlled company, holding 17 claims adjoin ing Premier Gold Mine, was recently held in Vancouver. The meeting was of a formal nature there having been no developments at the property during the year. It is under stood that stabilization of silver at higher price levels might lead to resumption of negotiations in con nection with development and operation of the property, which, owing to its location has interesting possi bilities. The balance sheet as at August 31, 1933, was presented, showing S780 expended on maintenance dur ing the year, bringing general dev> elopment and prospecting account to $723,643. The sum of $12,774 was spent on insurance, salaries, general expenses and depreciation bringing general expenditure account to $162,151. Ore testing laboratories at Ottawa are acknowledged to be the largest and best equipped in the world. The Local Outlook For The Coming Year What is the local outlook for 1934? Will prices of copper and silver rise during the next twelve months, so that mining companies can make a profit and employees increase their earnings? We sincerely hope so. Although the outlook for increased prices is much better than a year ago, how high they will rise is a question a good many would like to answer with assurance. The price of copper, of course, depends entirely upon the demand, and the demand depends upon the state of the manufactur ing industry. If manufacturing is at a high level copper prices go up, and when it lags, copper prices recede. Silver, however, is in a different category. It is not used extensively in the manufacturing industry. It is, and always has been, a more or less valuable metal. As world conditions are at present, the future price of silver seems to depend entirely upon legislation passed by different nations, either favorably or otherwise. During the past two weeks, the President of the United States has wisely enacted laws that has remonetized silver in that country and raised the price from around 43. cents to 64| per ounce. This legislation will be instrumental in re-opening many silver mines in the southern republic and will also cause many new mines to start producing. What Premier Bennett intends to do in Canada in regard to silver is not known. He should unhesitatingly follow the example of President Roosevelt and place silver in its rightful position in our currency. Such action on his part would result in placing thousands of men in employment in Canada, and would put into circulation money of real value. Silver at 64J cents an ounce would undoubtedly be the cause of active mining in the Alice Arm district. Properties that have been idle for years would resound with the hum of activity, and the silver deposits of this district would be created into wealth for the benefit of the nation, instead of being buried in the ground where it is valueless to everyone. There is every reason to hope and expect that silver prices will rise to a level that will make mining profitable in this district during the coming year. It is also very probable that copper prices will rise considerably in 1934, and in anticipation of the success of that hope we wish our readers an Exceptionally Happy and Prosperous New Year during 1934.

Gibbon Pass has hitherto been anonymous and lies between Shadow Lake and tbe Twin Lakes, below Ball and Storm mountains in the valley of the Bow, midway between Banff and Lake Louise. Not far from travelled routes in the Rockies and located in one of their most picturesque sections, Gibbon Pass wa» actually discovered by Mr. Gibbon when he was planning the route to be taken by Trail Riders last summer and himself hiked over the trail between the two in Van The name was conferred recently by the Geographic Board of Canada in honor of Mr. Gibbon's workas poet, novelist, promoter of musical and folklore festivals and founder of the Order of Trail Rldersof the Canadian Rockies which numbers members from all parts of this continent, Europe and Australia and which has done inestimable work in bringing the glories of Canada to the knowledge of the world. Lay-Out shows the Pass, with inset of Mr. Gibbon and, below, close-up of group of Trail Riders. Ski Runners of the Canadian Rockies &s^i» With a field of activity unequalled the world over the new winter sports association the Ski Runners of the Canadian Rockies, is rapidly coming into prominence among skiers and winter sports enthusiasts generally. The new organization is patterned largely after the famous Trail Riders and its locale, unequalled for scenery and facilities on this continent and probably without a rival even in Europe, is Banff, in the heart of the Rockies, with run* and trails varying from one to ten days in duration and 'covering inch world-known objectives as Mount Assiniboine, Simpson Pass, Shadow Lake, Lake Louise, Ptarmigan Valley and Pass, Bow Lakes and Pipestone Pass. Ski-ing over some of these passes is in full swing as late as June when visitors are enjoying golf and tennis, fishing and hiking, in the valleys below. But the sport begins in November eacli year. 0 A miNM feet above Banff and about an hour out from the town is the ski lodge built on the pass between Mmints Norquay and Stoney Squaw, from the club house runs radiate in all directions with cabin? and shelters at strategic points for rest and refreshment. There is a 50-metre Jump at Buffalo Park and every year in February (this year February 7-14) a tournament is held where the pick of Canadian and out- sido jumpers compete. ♦» Lay-out shows (1) Ski track across virgin snow with Mt.

In addition to a number of toys many handsome books were distributed, these being greatly appreciated. The gathering took the form of a Christmas Party, everyone present joining in games and a general frolic. Refreshments were served, and this annual event was much enjoyed.; Mr. Fred Graham was present during the afternoon, though effectively disguised for the time being. United Church Sunday School Xmas Tree Wednesday evening last, will not soon be forgotten by .the scholars of the United Church Sunday School for it was the occasion of their annual Christmas Tree and Party. There was everything that is so dear to the hearts of the children at such times. Of course Santa Claus bounced in just in the nick of time and distributed gifts from the tree. • A feature of the occasion was a concert given by the children of the Sunday School, and the adults present were treated to a lengthy programme of songs, dances, recitations and other items which proved most enjoyable. Refreshments were afterwards served, and the sociable and gay atmosphere prevailing made the affair most enjoyable. Christmas Festivities Are Gay But Orderly Anyox folk, who have so much to be thankful for at this season, spent Christmas in a gay but orderly fashion. There was a total absence of rowdyness or overbuoy- ancy. All homes reflected the true spirit of Christmas ar$-.warmth, plenty and good clieflpjjprevailed everywhere. At a great many homes it was the pleasure of the inmates to entertain some of the single men of the camp and those men, who are without permanent homes here. Needless to say, this thoughtfulness was much appreciated. Christmas at Alice Arm was enjoyed, we believe, by everyone. The same old spirit of goodwill prevailed and open house was kept by everyone for visitors through out the day. Dinner invitations were extended to many single men by their married friends, and everybody appeared to have spent an enjoyable day. Banff Queen Miss Violet Davis, of Edmonton, Alberta, who will reign as Queen of the Banff Winter Carnival, from January 31st to February 4th, inclusive. This internationally famous winter Bports meet, which provides thrills ranging from outdoor swimming, to toboggan chutes built on mountain sit!es, and ski-joring over mountain trails, will this year again take its place among the outstanding Western Canadian winter car- ntvals. PERFECT MAPLE LEAF The most beautiful maple leaf, prize winner in the nationwide competition conducted by the Canadian Pacific Railway, was submitted by Mrs. C. McConnell, Fredericton R. No. 3, York County, New Brunswick. It has a flare of autumn coloring ranging from light yellow to deep blood red, and its perfect symmetry and form won it distinction in competition with 10,000 other beautiful leaves, submitted by enthusiastic Canadians from Coast to Coast. The leaf, a thing of sheer beauty, was selected by such outstanding artists as C. W. Simpson, R.C.A., R, W. Pilot, R.C.A., and James Urockert. In the largest leaf phase of the competition, six-year-old Bobby Hume, of Revelstoke, B.C., made an astonishing win with a leaf showing an area of 222 square inches. The success which greeted the original competition this year hai encouraged Canadian Pacific officials to plan for another competition on a larger and more comprehensive scale next fall. H ere an dTn ere The Canadian Pacific Railway Bupply farm, Strathmore, Alta., had the best Holstein cow in the four-year-old or over (not in milk) class at the Royal Winter Fair recently held at Toronto. Banff Winter Sports Carnival will be held from January 31 to February 4, it is announced. The carnival will fee followed by a series of sports week-ends, each being devoted to ono particular type of sport Tlhe problem of truck-rail competition was declared a national one by S. Hayes, M.A., in a recent address before the Engineering Institute. He saw regulation and restriction in areas where the truck does not belong as the only solutions. Christmas festivities this year will be enlivened by Japanese oranges of which 38,400 boxea arrived at Victoria recently aboard the Empress of Canada, for distribution to a number of Canadian cities. 6,000 boxes were left at Victoria and the fruit will doubtless feature in the Empress Hotel Yuletide celebrations. Since October 1, 1930, a total of 101,765 people have been settled on Canadian farms or given farm employment under the auspices of the Dominion Department of Immigration and the two great transcontinental railway companies, according to a report issued by the Department of Immigration. 89,236 of these people were settled without financial assistance. Expression of confidence in a brighter business outlook in Canada, coupled with definite improvement in conditions throughout the Dominion, was made recently by H. J. Humphrey, general manager, Canadian Pacific Railway, eastern lines, in an interview during his trip of inspection to the Maritimes prior to the opening of the winter navigation season. Five ports hitherto not touched at by world cruises — Penang, Straits Settlements; Semarang, Java; Boeleleng and PadangBay, Bali; and Zamboanga in the Zula Archipelago — have been added to the 1934 itinerary of the Canadian Pacific liner Empress of Britain, sailing from New York January 4. The cruise will cover 133 days and 30,916 miles and will return to New. York May 14. Special low fares with generous time limits for the return trip will be available on Canadian railroads for the Christmas and New Year holiday periods, it is announced by C. P.
