Political Leaders Urged to Submit War Regulations lo Parliament Body OTTAWA, Feb. 8 <:CP)—Identical letters signed by 47 Toronto citizens urging that steps be taken to submit the defence of Canada and censorship regulations for systematic revision to cotnmlttee of parliament have been received by Prime Minister Mackenzie King and the Conservative Leader, Dr R. J. Manion. A copy of the letter as handed out at Toronto by William C. Grant said that while emergency powers and regulations are necessary ni wartime, "regulations should not, by vagueness cf expression and unwise application, become a means to the unnecessary curtailment of democratic rights.' The letter said this has been most clearly recognized in Great Britain where emergency regulations came before parliament and were submitted by the government to a committee of all parties. Canada should follow the British example The good will of the United States towards the British Empire may be Two Officers of tilth in East for Special Training Lieut. C. S. Price and Lieut. A. M, Parker of thc 111th iNelson) Field Battery, have left Edmonton for Kingston. Ont,, where they will receive special training, writes Lieut. E. M. Gjllott from Edmonton, where the 111th is in training. While part of the battery was in quarantine in the Fane "Building, the remainder has been quartered at the Prince of Wales Armories, and training there. In the past few weeks marked progress has been made. Quarantine was lifted on Wednesday. "The boys are eagerly looking forward to the trip across the 'pond'," Lieutenant Glllott writes, "and are hoping it will be soon." Battle dress, Wc new army uniform of the "ski suit" style, has been issued to thc 111th.

"Wc therefore respectively urge- that you, as the leader of one otto Canada's political parlies, should publicly undertake that, upon election, you will take steps to have--* all defence oi Canada and censor- . ship regulations submitted for sys- rj tematic revision to a committee of parliament as soon as possible." The letter was signed by Mr. Grant and 4-6 other Toronto citizens including Sir Robert Falconer, Clifford Sifton, Prof. G, M. A. Grube, J. C, McRuer, B, K. Sandwell, Morley Callaghan, Brian Doherty, J. M. Macdon-nell and J. B. Qricker- steth, Mr. Grant said a copy of the let- - ter also weis sent J. S. Woodsworth, C. C. F, leader, at Winnipeg. Acknowledging the letter, Dr. Manion wrote Mr. Grant as follows: I have read with interest your letter to me of the 5th instant, « well tt the letter enclosed therewith signed by yourself and * numbr oi other prominent citizens. I have no hesitation whatever in setting forth to you and to your friends my view that in wartime there should be no infringement of individual liberty or of our traditional freedom of press, of speech or of assembly, which is not absolutely essential in the public interest. Further, It is my belief that parliament, not the government is the proper body to determine what is or is not essential in the public interest. In my opinion any regulations made by the government that infringe in any way upon the riphta to which I have referred should be submitted for parliamentary review at the earliest possible time. Summed up, my attitude is this: What value can be attached to our fighting abroad for liberty, freedom and justice, if at the same time those principles perish at home1 Election Date Not to Alter Dates for Revises; Advance Poll !

I won honors and came home with two purposes ln mind: to win the girl I loved and settle down to the career I had planned. In two years I have made several significant strides toward the perfection of my life's ambition. Now I need her. Deep down the hu a fondness for me, I think, but ihe doesn't understand me. She avoids me when we are with frlenda. When we are alone she ia usually cordial. I'm at a loss to know what to do. She knows now dearly 1 love her but she doesn't give me the opportunity to tell her. She seema afraid she will fall for me. Pleaae tell me how to make her understand- how to break the wall ahe has built between ut. Perplexed. Answer: When a needle full of serum la thruat Into the thigh to ward off lockjaw, the patient aays to himself "I'd rather have taken the risk of that rusty nail I stuck in my foot." When you've read this reply to your letter you will say "I wish I hadn't expressed my deep thoughts to another dame who doesn't undlretand me." Nevertheless here goes the needle, thrust in with sympathy and honestly meant for your good. You are too much in love with yourself to make a gal love you. You are too obsessed with your altruism, your lofty philosophy of life to get down to earth with an he>nest-to-goodness courtship. Only a gal who is hard up for a beau will bother with a boy who's forever giving himself a big hand and expecting her to follow suit. Furthermore, this particular gal Isn't shutting you out because she's afraid of falling for you. She shuts you out because she's bored with big l's; egotism spelled with capajal letters.

Pain Accents Ihe Meaning of "No" By QARRY C. MYERS, Ph.D. Ptyche 'did not hear the word no from her parents until ahe began to climb and creep. The flrat time she heard it was at the moment when her hands were flapped as she wu about to aelze the handle of the gu jet. It wat no accident that her mother wu preient. The father and mother had forteen that Psyche would examine thit alluring object They together had planned exactly what wu to be done by the parent who would be nearest to the child. Little Psyche's heart wu almost broken. So wu her mother's, but she wu calm, and she began at once to talk about the little elephant which the lifted to the child's wagon. Immediately Psyche turned to the wagon ana elephant, and the mother to her work. When the mother had occasion to spend tome time upstairs, the father went to the kitchen with Psyche. Pretty soon the child reached again for the gu jet, and Immediately her hand wu slapped by the father's right hand as he held hers in his left. At the same time he uttered NO just once. SHE WA8 CURED Psyche cried, but only for a moment, and then turned to her toys, while Dad moved tome dishes from the table to the cupboard, u if nothing at all unusual had happened. From that time on through the next several weeks Psyche never wu alone In the kitchen. But she has never touched the gu jet since, and she is now five. From other dangerous things Ptyche merely had been kept. The next thing the parents agreed to teach this baby to avoid wu reaching above her for things on the kitchen table or work shelf. The program was launched on Saturday noon, so that Father would be home, with Sunday also ahead, ,for the constant presence of one or both parents. Their slogan wu, "Immediate pain on the first offense, and no exceptions." LET HER CH008E During the day Psyche reached above her in the kitchen for objects on the table or work shelf just four times, and four times she got immediate pain as she heard NO clearly dfojUAWWIlA By BETSY NEWMAN and distinctly. They had planned deliberately to let her choose and bear the consequence). Never were they concerned about immediate prevention only, else the would have just been gently seized and pulled away or dittracted from the dangerous object, or the danger, ous object would have been puthed beyond her reach. They wanted Ptyche to desist from reaching above herself in the kitchen to that she would acquire the habit permanently. The purpose wu to connect pain, certainly In her nervout tyttem, with the act to be avoided automatically. They had let out to teach Ptyche to keep herself from reaching up In the kitchen. In like manner they later taught her to keep heraelf from running Into the atreet. And eventually NO alone sufficed u a deterrent and served as a foundation in Psyche's nervous tyttem for regard for constituted authority. SOLVING PARENT PROBLEMS Q. Would you ever try to force the child to confeu after you had all the facts neceuary to prove hit guilt? A. I thould count myself a bully If I did. While a voluntary confession might be good for the toul, a forced confession It bad for the forcer and force*. Q. What do you think of the advice: "Spank only after everything else hu failed?" A. I consider it silly advice. When everything else hu filled, you are hardly fit emotionally to spank the child, ani he Is hardly fit then emotionally to profit from the spanking.

How to Refrain From Nail Biting By DONNA GRACE There is no use trying to scare or scold nail-tilers. They just listen while they placidly munch on every little hangnail, even the pall Itself. We might feel annoyed with them, but knowing them as we do, It'i really sympathy they need. They Just can't help this habit. It can be corrected, we know, but It takes time and patience. The fingertips are sensitive and any form of nervousness may have some reaction at these delicate points. It is a well-known fact that few normal, healthy persons indulge ln this devastating practice. Plenty of fresh air, along with regular exercise and good long restful sleep, is the first consideration. Then one must practice self-control. The hands should be made to behave and be put on probation so to •peak. They should be kept in the lap when not occupied with special work or play, and any Indication of reaching toward the mouth should be a signal to stop and concentrate on something else. We believe the best and moa?t agreeable training is to put the hands and nails through a thorough beauty course. This course means a dally visit to the beauty shop. When there, look at the cards of beautiful nail polish and the perfect long nail tips and select the one you would like to emulate. A daily manicure may seem ridiculous, but the discipline of going to the same operator every day for merely smoothing off the dry cuticle and the thorough oiling will t Cosfs(etf, HUNTERS CHEESE r,,S.rr,l Crisp Craenctai HUNTERS POTATO CHIPS be sure to make one plus* when the urge to bite comes on. Make a practice of massaging and buffing your nails every day and keep them oiled frequently. Heat the manicure or olive oil and soak the tips a few moments every day. Scrub thoroufhly with a soap lather and warm water and be sdre to rinse well. This simple method will prove successful, resulting in a glorious set of fine nails.

It is the common symptom which the physician encounters, Analyzing the nature of fatigue, it may be any one or a combination of the following feelings: A tendency to yawn or spells of actual yawning. No inclination to move the muscles. Feeling of drowsiness. Perspiration without adequate exercise. Wobbliness of the feet. A slouching in sitting or standing. Tendency to close the eyes from time to time. Difficulty in remembering just what has been said, Difficulty in relaxing. Unusual effort needed to start anything to read, write or work. Impatience or easy irritation. CAUSES OF FATIGUE The causes of fatigue are: (1) PHYSICAL EXERTION - This, of course, is natural fatigue and is healthy. When the muscles are used, there is an accumulation of lactic acid and it has been supposed that other fatigue substances are accumulated in the body, this, however, has not been proved. Prevention of exertion fatigue can be accomplished by rest pauses. Industry on a wide scale is adopting this method. (2) NUTRITION-A great many people are on an inadequate total food intake or on the verge of semi starvation without knowing it. In these people fatigue occurs and creates a vicious circle. Lack of adequate food intake induces fatigue, fatigue destroys appetite. Therefore, there is recurrenc of lack of adequate food intake.

The men said the 9874-ton Beaverburn sank quickly but that time was left for launching of all the boats and for getting off all the crew except a cook, who was lost. Members of the crew fell over like tenpins when the blast of the torpedo struck the ship, but none were in any way seriously Injured. No one knew positively how the lone fatality, Cook Alf Hockley, an Englishman, died. He was seen on the deck as the ship sank, and it was believed he leaped overboard and was drowned. Bert Coxen of Montreal, one of four Canadians aboard, was most anxious that "the missus should know that I'm fine." The other Canadians were Albert Kelly of Ottawa, Jack Foley of Montreal and Eddie Chambers of Wynyard, Sask. Captain Tom Jones, a rotund, bald little Welshman, had little to say about the sinking of his ship. He would not even admit he got a ducking when he was the last man aboard and had to Jump. The Beaverburn survivors were picked up and brought here by a tanker whose crew believed the torpedo was meant for their ship, for it "missed our stern by only a couple of yards." When the survivors landed most of them were clad in overalls, A couple who were bathing when the torpedo shattered the freighter escaped wearing towels in the sarong manner and with blankets over their shoulders. A dingy clothing store hero promptly became the most popular place in town, after which the nun went to the Seamen's Hospital for a feed of ham and eggs and Cornish pastry, which is a small meat and rice pie, The hospital is In charge of two former residents of Canada, Rev. T. V. Elkington and his wife, who used to work ln the Seamen's Mission in Vancouver. After the blast, the lost Cook Hockley directed Cook's Boy John Burns how to save his life. "Take your time, you'll be all right," the cook told the boy. Burns, 20, was so affected by the loss of Hockley that he did not cat for three days. As he sat in hospital receiving treatment for an arm scalded; when the explosion threw him against a boiler, the cook's boy said "the last time I saw the cook he was standing at the side of the ship and I think be jumped." Third Engineer Harry Teale of Southampton, stayed under the decks to switch off the engines and prevented explosions which might have killed many. Teale relied deck and jumped to safety just before the Beaverburn dived under. Another hero was Joe McNeal, able seaman from Newfoundland. One of the lifeboats might have been dragged under if he had not cut the davit ropes with the chopper. HATS' Cay Veils Bright Flowers Straws and Felts New dressy models in flowered and veiled hats.

SPRING BREAK-UP LIKELY TO HALT HEAVY TRAFFIC ON ROADS It is inevitable that when the Spring thaw occurs it should be necessary nearly every year under existing road conditions in Kootenay that some highways should be closed to heavy traffic. It is only by doing this that the Public Works Department can save the surface for traffic during the rest of the year. Those who depend in various parts of the district upon the highways for securing supplies will be well advised to arrange Jhat all hauling of heavy loads be done as soon this winter as possible, and that wherever possible merchants and others should stock up now in order to avoid hardship through shortage of supplies when the Spring breakup occurs. Owing to heavy rainfall early this Winter the sub- grades of all of our roads have become water soaked and the subsequent light snowfall permitted frost action to take its full effect, especially under black-topped roads. In some places black-topped roads are badly heaved now and when the weather becomes warm and the sub-grade becomes thawed, it is extremely likely that it will be necessary to close these roads to all heavy traffic. These road surfaces are expensive and the Public Works Department, is naturally not only anxious to keep them in as good condition as possible, but also to add to the mileage of good surface for the general convenience and comfort of the public. AMERICAN PROTESTS ARE NOT UNFRIENDLY A good deal of the protesting by neutral nations over the operation of the blockade against Germany, in which of course Britain's sea power is the main factor, is for purposes of the record, and not to be interpreted as unfriendly in intention. Thc United States protests with great solemnity over the detention of American ships for examination of cargo and of mails for contraband, for instance. The British explain that the reason an Italian ship may be detained for only one-fourth the time of an American ship may be the difference in cargoes, a cargo of, one commodity, for instance, lending itself to easy examination as compared with a general cargo of many different classifications. Frank R. Knit, thc well known American political commentator, points out that the American notes, and the differences of opinion in regard to examination nf American cargoes and mails for neutral countries, arc not matters to get excited about, th" searching and necessary delaying being quite legal. "The sympathies and interests of this country are bound up with thc slice,\-s uf the Alliis," .Mr. Kent states in one of his dailv syndicat d articles, in a recent issue of the Spokane Spokesman-Review. "By no one has this been made plainer than by the President, aril his Secrrtary of Stete, Mr. Hull," he continue-. "Our neutrality is a surface neutrality, and virtually wc arc in the war on thi' Allied side, with ev< rything 'short nf soldiers.' Under the circumstances, great indignation over the opening of mail and the searching of ships by the English in th ir effort to make the blockade complete is slightly ridicullous. I: is all right for the record, to make the prole.-', and thc British might, |icrh,vs, to do these tilings with more thought of our surface position. But to magnify them into an important incident is not n^'sible without a great deal of strain. . . . "The-e slat" departmi nt notes ere normal, natural, and necessary for the record. But there is no real heat behind them. In effort, thev notify the British to give rise to a.s littl" complaint as po.'sib!" from American shipowners and pa^cgers bound to n utral ports. And the British will i'n that, but th v will not stop -.'arching these vessels for c. ■ntr.-d cd th'' ce'i.ge' into ''"rn'eny. No:- should they."

STAMP CORNER By JAMES MONTAGNE8 Trance Lssued recently two stamps lo lhc Province of Languedoc top right and the City ol Lyons top right. The new United States stamp to poet Longfellow, bottom left. Is to be issued thLs month, along wilh poet slamps showing Whiltier, Lowell, Whitman and Riiey. Thc fourth diagram, above, in the Daily News' series designed to halt the menace of the level crossing, depicts a type of crossing at which many a careless motorist has come to grief. Here the brief stop demanded by the most elementary rules of human safety may avert death or horrible injury. Thc track in this instance runs In a cutting and .so the train i.s partially obscured from thc motorist's view. Low rolling hills add to the lack of long-range vision, together with the probability that, owing to the contour of the land, the trick Is winding in its approach to the road crossing. In spite of these hazards, the motorist, approaching the track on a slight rise, has a perfect opportunity to see that all i.s clear if he will spend a moment for the halt which may save his life and thc lives of his passengers. CONTRACT A OOOD CONVENTIOa. MANY advanced players use a business double of 3-No Trumpi ln an artificial tense to compel a lead of the dummy's suit, failure to double Indicating negatively that the partner must pick what looks naturally to him like the beat lead.

James (S.C.-Aca- dia) declared in the Alberta Legislature today. "At present it looks like an unwarranted act of dictatorship that out-Hitlers Hitler and bodes ill for the future it his party is returned to power," said Mr. Jame* ln moving the reply to the throne speech. To bring members, stenographers, cleriu and others from all parts of Canada to "hear a speech that said nothing and then dismiss them ls too heinous an offence to go without explanation," the Member for Acadia charged. "It is an Insult to the people," he continued. "Ugly rumors of unpre- paredness, inefficiency, patronage and even worse are floating around and Mr. King would be wise to clear the matter up by a rank statement if It is possible for him to do so." Mr. James said the reuon given by the Prime Minister—criticisms by Premier Hepburn of Ontario and Col. George Drew, Ontario Conservative leader—wu "too utterly childish to be taken seriously." Mr. James asserted Prime Minister Mackenzie King had promised to answer all criticisms when Parliament met but the criticisms ware not answered when Parliament met and "the whole attitude of the Government leaves a nuty tute in the mouth." The member for Acadia said thc Alberta Government's record in the put five years wu assurance it would go ahead with plana to introduce Social Credit. He declared the "root cause of this war" and of "maniacs like totalitarian dictators" ts the economic system and added the world never would have peace until "this stupid, Insane financial system is abolished and a simple Christian system takes Its place." "Blue rufn, moral, spiritual and material disintegration were predicted when the Social Credit Government came to power in 1935 but the Government had improved highways, educational methods, health policies and" the Province's debt had been reduced and finances rut on a sound foundation, Mr. James added. 'The farmer and home owner have been given as much protection u we were allowed by Dominion law to give them," he continued, "and are beginning to feel a measure of security," But. Mr. James added, "all thc beneficial legislation that has been passed ... are but temporary measures to ease the almost unbearable burden from Ihe shoulders ol the people until we can win our final objective of the economic and financial freedom for which we are fighting."

Means to Hold Tourists Theme Junior Chamber Means of holding tourists' after they had been attracted to British Columbia were discussed by Junior Chamber of Commerce members at their meeting at the Hume Thursday night. Robert Foxall. reporting on a proposed widespread campaign outlined by the Vancouver Junior Board of Trade to prepare for tourist trade, stated the program proposed was beyond the capacities of the Nelson Junior Chamber at this time, but it might be undertaken in part at least if the cooperation of other bodies were obtained. Establishment of a fishing and hunting register to direct tourists to the best fishing and hunting spots and listing of guides and camps were among suggestion offered Erection of "Welcome" signs at each entrance to the City was proposed. Mr. Foxall state?! that while considerable work was done to bring tourists to the district, little was done once they arrived to hold them or to bring them back. It was a thoroughly worthwhile objective, he believed, but to be taken up on any scale the cooperation of other organizations and of those particularly interested in the tourist trade was necessary. The outlined campaign was referred bbfk to the snecia! committee headed by Mr. Foxall for further study Gonzaga Bull Pups at Rossland Tonight ROSSLAND. B. C.

Chuck Conacher Can Still Drill Them in Once a scorer, always a scorer, ls indicated by the feats of several national hockey league veterans Btill performing brilliantly for their various clubs. One of the most notable examples of this ii big Charlie Conacher, the plnyer who drills the cannon- ball pucks. As a right winger on Toronto Maple I-eafs, Conacher accumulated exactly 200 goals in tunc jeB.ions of play. Twice he led the league in scoring, with 32 and 36 goals, respectively, in 1933-34 and 1954-35. For the first time in hu career, Conacher was shifted back to a defence position this season, with the New York Americans. But he can still score goals, even from that range, for his booming shot has Wt none of Its power, accuracy or potency. Conacher did nomething on Christmas F.ve that hadn't been seeci on New York's Madison Square Garden ice for at least two years. He scored a penalty shot, beating F. Bnmsek, the great Dot ton Bruin goalie. Conacher is one of the great rnmr-bnrks of hockey, —injured very frequently ai a result of his groat spe-cd, backed by over 200 pounds of bulk, Conacher quit hockey In the middle nf the season of l!W-3R. determined to play no more |ji-.t winter he came back with Detroit Red Wmgs but a recurrence of the injuries to ■ which he lias been subject kept him out much of the time. This year, moved back to a defence post with Americans, he has turned in a succession of smashing efforts, becoming one of the most important individuals on the team. His shot is generally rated the hardest in the league When it is on the nets it gives the onlookers a thrill lhat few other snipers have been able to equal. Kimberley Plays al Trail Tonight Three games are acheduled for as many nights in the West Kootenay Hockey League, starting tonight, when Kimberley Dynamiters go to Trail, It may be their laat trip to the West Kootenay before the playoffs. Kimberley is scheduled to make another trip to Trail and Nelson before the end of the month, but it may be cancelled. This will be the Dynamiters' third journey to this section of the league, and they haven't picked up a victory on Trail or Nelson Ice yet this season. This time they will be under the direction of their new Playing Coach, Bill Burnett. Since he took over the team has split two games with Gonzaga. Art Forrest has returned to the fold of the Dynamiters, and his presence alone will make things tough for the high-flying Smokies tonight and the second-place Leafs tomorrow. The ax will be over Trail's string of 16 cc-^ecutive unbeaten games tonight, but with only one road game at Spokane out of their four games remaining they stand a good chance of finishing the league schedule with a stretch of 19 games without a loss. If Kimberley loses both games on this trip, and Nelson wins in Spokane Sunday, second place will be clinched for the Maple Leafs. Cranbrook Hockey Team Is Beaten at Lumberton by 10-5 LUMBERTON, B.C.—Last Sunday was a big day for Lumberton hockey. In the morning a good sheet of ice welcomed the Cranbrook and Lumberton teams. Bert Erickson's team from Cranbrook was turned back by a 10-5 score. Bert Jansen scored a neat goal on the Lumberton goalie, Roland, by picking a corner of the net. Jim Gourlie played hard for Cranbrook. Lineups follow: Cranbrook—Harrison, Cavanaugh, Barrett, Curie, Erickson, Gourlie, Jansen and Bakken. Lumberton—T. Roland, A. Jones. D. Roland, Joe Downey, P. Parent, K. Thompson, R. Mitchell, H. Revans and E. South. In the afternoon the Lumberton Jcids entertained the Kimberley Midgets and played a good game of hockey for a 5-0 victory. Clifton Bardford, Richard Joyce, Harold Jansen and Bobbie Mitchell were the goal getters while Lawrence Klinestiver was credited with two assists. K. McKenzie of Kimberley refereed while Dickie Jones handled the watch. Later In thc afternoon the Lumberton men defeated the Mission Indians in a one-sided fixture on soft ice. Bob Mitchell refereed.

S (AP)—Joe Louis makes the ninth defence In hie reoord-breaklng run as world's heavyweight boxing champion In Madlaon Square Garden tomorrow night At thla writing not a oroaturo Is stirring who will predict Arturo Godoy of Chile oan Uke the title away from him. A crowd of between 18,000 and 19,000 customers Is expected to alt ln on the proceedings, contribute to a gate ot more than $100,000, and thereby make the fifth straight appearance for Louis in the Garden with a "pot" running into six figures. The lint preliminary ls slated for 5:30 p.m. PST and the big doings at 7 p.m. The Brown Bcjnfcer is 1 to 7 to continue bombing against the Chilean fisherman where he left off against Bob Pastor in Detroit last September, and most betting is on just how long the rough, tough South American can last before becoming the dusky destroyer's eighth straight knockout victim. Since Jo* won the championship from old Jim Braddock ln 37, only Tommy Farr, the durable Welshman, has gone the 15-round derby distance against Louis. Godoy, as long as he stays in his crouch, will b« fully conscious of the evening's proceedings. Tony Galento showed that a crouching, bobbing fellow can enjoy hlmeelf with Jo*. However, the first time Tony "came to the surface" last June, the roof fell ln on him. So with Arturo—and this department picks him to stay submerged—and on hand— for one-third of the rout*, with Louis flattening him any time alter th* fifth. There was a possibility Louis might be heavier than he naa ever been. When he wound up his boxing work yesterday, he scaled 204: pounds and was not expected to take off any of that before he turns up for the official poundage-taking. He weighed an even 200 for Pastor and 200y, for Galento in his most recent starts. Godoy figures to scale between 202 and 203. The fight will be broadcast. RUGGED TRAINING Advice to coaches: Take your team for a ride, give them a good shaking up but don't hurt litem, so they will realize that it feels good to be alive after all. Do this once before every game. Maybe there's some psychology to going through such an experience. It's something like an army putting on an exhibition before the grandstands after being through the real thing. At any rate, whether their shaking up had anything to do with It or not, the Gonzaga Bulldogs were given a great ovation for the way they held the Smokies through two periods in Trail Tuesday night. PROOF When word reached here that they had defeated the Nelson Leafs 3-1 Wednesday night, the sceptics' eyes popped, for then they knew the Smokies were not lying back. I can't figure it out. Leafs hold the league leading Smokies to a 5-5 tie and then the Gonzagans put down the Leafs. Which all makes a fellow wonder ? ? ? Elmer Piper, that ordinary-look1- ing lad who took the Smokies to the Allan Cup, admits a team make* or breaks a coach. Of course, he said, a coach must have on* man on a team who will go out and express his ideas, show th* other fellows what he wants. Then the rert of the team, after seeing what they have been told, soon fall in line. But Elmer was a good salesman, a good orator. When he talked to his boys he held their inturest, and if anyone said something he'd carry right on as though he hadn't noticed. If Nelson waa on top of th* league Pat Aitken would have been tope. If the Dynamiters had b«en leading Pratt would have been likewls*. After losing umpty-ump games, th* Spokane boys beat Nelson. If Denny Edge, Spokane coach had been fired before the game, and a new coach had been In the box, the moguls would have thought he had instilled something into the boys to bring about the win. Bicknell wu looked on with favor after the Leaf team held the Smokies to that 5-5 tie. Nelson never lost to Gonzagans while Aitken was coaching. Which all proves nothing.

FEB. 9. 1940.- War May Bring Oil, Gas Rationing lo Canada, Engineers Hear; Unable Fill Own Needs; Exchange Vital Necessity Huae Debt to U. S. May Have Far-Reaching Effect on War Economy; Britain Needs American Funds for Purchases TORONTO, Feb. 8 (CP).—Householders with oll-burnlng furnaces may have to go back to coal If the war lasts long enough. OU-burnlng locomotives may be replaced by coal burnera and other oil-burning devices may likewise be affected. Gas for motor fuel may be rationed, and some buses and trucks stop running. These radical change* were envisioned in a paper by G. A. Gaherty, M.E.I.C., President of the Montreal Engineering Company, dealing with the Dominion's economic wartime front, and presented before the Engineering Initltute of Caneda assembled In convention here. 'he need uf exchange for war'" purposes may make it desirable tn curtail domestic consumption of petroleum products as the war proceed?," staled Mr. Gaherty. "Canadian coal might well be substituted fnr oil and gasoline wherever this is practicable. The oil- burning locomotive operating through the mountains could be converted to coal, as also household furnaces. RATIONING MIGHT BE NECESSARY "As we become adjusted to a war basis gasoline for private automobiles may have to be rationed as In England, and the use of buses and trucks may have to bo .stopped altogether where passengers and goods can br transported by rail, This all would reduce thc pressure nn the sources of supply and release tanker capacity fnr transport of oil from North and South American ports to thc theatre of war, and so make available additional sup drastically our imports from neutrals.

MUST SEE IT "The Americans on their part should recognize that it is only by this means that we can honor our debts to them, that for every dollar by which their exports to us are sn reduced their exports to Britain and France will correspondingly increase, and that every dollar they spent in Canada helps their own trade." Mr. Gaherty felt ■ that exchange, through its command of the resources of neutral countries, might well be the decisive factor in winning this war. In the matter of exchange, fortunately, Canada held a key position and in world export trade was already fourth. Exports to neutrals should be further stepped up, new markets should be developed, "but it is in the curtailing of our imports from neutrals hy substituting our own products For Valuable Information Daily, Look Down the Personal* NtaUum Eathi Htm Telephone 144 Classified Advertising Rates lie per Hue- per Insertion. 44c per line per week (fl consecutive inaertioriaS for cost ot 4). $1.43 per line a month (26 tlmea) (Minimum 2 lines per insertion) Box numbers He extra.

The Allies were dependent upon neutrals for certain commodities nnd crude oil, to a notable degree, is one of them, Mr. Gaherty proceeded. Mercury and antimony wore among the others. But after thc defaults following the last war. the financing of purchases of these commodities was a different matter. "To make the resources of neutrals available to the Allies their •exchange is indispensable, particularly American exchange, and this is only obtainable in sufficient amount through exports and the curtailing of non-essential imports," he said in explanation. "On account of Canada's favorable balance of trade with Britain and our debt to the United Slates do our most effective work SHOULD ATTRACT TOURISTS Among the measures suggested were to improve Canadian tourist facilities so that more Americans would be induced to spend their money in Canada; to increase Canada's gold production; to do what we could to increase other exports, and to cut down imports from neutrals so far as possible. "Our prewar imports from neutrals so far 'a from neutrals ran lo half a billion dollars per year," said Mr. Gaherty, "of which at least a third we could either do without or obtain satisfactory substitutes fnr, either locally or from our Allies, at little inconvenience or increase in cost."

Hotson, President, after he had joined a delegation representing Boy Scouts, Cubs and the Nelson Gyro Club in wailing on the City Council. Robson Street, from Cedar to Stanley, would provide a good run and there were few houses on thc upper end of it. the report stated. Cottonwood from Fifth Avenue to Nelson Avenue had only two through intersections. Mayor N. C. Stibbs staled the Council could not set aside any streets for sleighing since it would become responsible in case Of accident, but the City would cooperate in finding hills of minimum hazard and putting on guards ir advisable. Suggestion that a road at the rear of the fish hatchery, on the hill alongside Cottonwood Creek, might be opened up to provide a sharp run with a flat at the bottom, was made by Gordon Williams, NELSON DAILY NEWS.

C. D. Howe, Transport Minister, declared at a political meeting here tonight. It was true that for the first ' two or three months there was a scarcity of uniforms, the minister said. "But I think the government would have been severely criticized if it had kept constantly on hand uniforms and equipment for 80,000 men." Canada had the men when they were needed and the productive capacity to equip them. Within four months of the outbreak of war a fully-equipped division was overseas, the minister said, and today the Defence Department had caught up with equipment needs. Preparations started four years ago in the face of opposition In Parliament had equipped Canada with naval and air defence* which now rendered both coasts immune from attack, Mr. Howe said, On the economic side Canada was well-prepared with vast resources of food, a surplus of transportation facilities, harbors that had doubled their business without congestion, mining, fishing and lumber resources, and an efficient financial system. Mr. Howe spoke at the convention which chose George Mcllraith as Liberal candidate in Ottawa West.

Edgar, Returning Officer for Vancouver Centre, took a dif- i fcrent view, maintaining: "If they ithe women) refuse to register in 1 their husband's name, the enumer- 1 ators should most certainly take their own names.
