The agreement Is contingent upon assent of the Dominion parliament and the new provincial legislature which will be elected June 1. With the addition of the Yukon's 207,000 square miles the province would have a total area of 573,331 square miles, second only to Quebec's 594,534. But only a few more than 4000 people would be added to British Columbia's estimated population of 750,000. The colorful thousands who swarmed into the famous territory in the gold rush days of 1898 have dwindled Us the present handful, but its creeks and hills are still the haunt of prospectors who seek the ( golden itream which has poured put {200,000,000 in the years since 897. But the pick and cradle of Klon- Idyke days are giving way to mod- fern machinery, and great hydraulic [dredges comb the streams where (sourdoughs once held rugged reign. The British Columbia government Lin making the agreement counts on fthe territory's wealth to offset tlie [expenditures which its acquisition Lwill require. Premier Pattullo him- ■self is an old Yukoncr who went Jthere from Gait, Ont., in 1896 to jserve for three years as assistant fgold commissioner and who incidentally introduced "ice-cream pants" to Dawson. Canada's land of the midnight sun where "the lady who was known as Lou," Cigarette Liz, Diamond Tooth Gertie and the Oatmeal Sisters reigned as thc night-club queens of the 90's, is the pathway, too, of a proposed highway which would extend from the tip of South America to Alaska, and which some day might lead to Europe across Siberia with ferries plying the Bering sea. I Premier Pattullo stated today he believed acquisition of the territory would find .1 response from youth (Of the province seeking adventure I and fortune in a land of romance. | The Yukon would come to the province without debt and for the first five years tlie federal government would pay Britisii Columbia $125,000 a year as a special grant.

NO MORE RELIEF Authorities are awaiting the reaction of Doukhobon on relief when they liarn that most of them will be cut off the rolls shortly. Instructions have been received from Victoria tc "discontinue all unemployment relief to Doukhobon who are not conforming to the lawi of the province." About 52 families, comprising probably 200 penens, In the district served by the Nelion relief office will be affected. This dcel not Include the Slocan Valley north cf Slocan Park, which li not admlnlitered by the Nelson office, but It li presumed the iame Instructions will apply to that district.

One or two additional families are concurring In regliterlng the children, but It li not known whether the parenti are legally married. The Doukhobors affected have for the molt part, ai fir ai li known, completed their April work on district roads and will receive April relief checks. They will be unable to sign up for May relief, however. Rumors were heard Monday that Victoria had given instructions for no more timber licences to be issued to Doukhobors. While several requests to this effect have been received at the forest branch district headquarters at Nelson, no instructions have been issued from Victoria. A number of Doukhobors have also entered applications to work out arrears of taxes in road work. Victoria has given instructions that persons in arrears for taxes may work out the sum owing, but no specific instructions have been issued with respect to Doukhobor applications and on that basis their applications must be treated on a par with all others, it is explained. Provision for tax arrears to be worked out has been in effect for some time. It is understood those taking advantage of this provision in this district have been mostly Doukhobors. MINIMUM WAGE TRIAL Fred Chernenkoff, Doukhobor who contracted to build a bunk- house at the Euphrates mine, was fined $50 by Stipendiary Magistrate John Cartmel Monday for failure to pay James Legebokoff the mini mum wage, and was ordered to make up the difference between what he paid and what the man should have received, this amount being $21.90. Chernenkoff at first pleaded not guilty to the charge brought by Inspector B. W. Bysart under the provincial minimum wage law, and after some of the evidence had been heard asked for an adjournment to obtain a lawyer. At the resumption of the hearing later he pleaded guilty. His worship, insentencing Chernenkoff, ruled that in default of payment of the fine he was to serve two months in jail with hard labor, and if the sum owing Legebokoff was not paid, to serve an additional month. The rase was prosecuted by Inspector Dysart. FEAR CODLING MOTH Authorities are watching, as ln other years, for outbreaks of orchard pests at Brilliant, headquarters in this province ot the Christian Community of Universal Brotherhood, Limited, Doukhobor organization. Doukhobors, averse to taking life, refuse to spray, authorities declare. Trees which become afflicted with fire blight, a fast-spreading orchard disease, are destroyed. Another vicious pest, codling moth, is said to be enforcing its own regulations in Brilliant area, where it spread to the exent that apples at Brilliant last season were 75 per cent infected and were'turned back by fruit inspectors. The Doukhobors endeavored to regain some ot the loss by drying the apples, and sold a small quantity in Nelson, but, it is said, these were infected also and it is unlikely more will be accepted. Fruit growers are of the opinion the codling moth will soon become serious in Nelson as a result of Doukhobors selling apples in the city market. The codling moth worm in the apples escapes into the boxes and lies dormant there, it is understood, until spring. It may escape from the boxes or apples in which it is carried and remain the winter in other boxes or even in furniture until spring, when it again emerges. The moths emerge about the time of the calyx spray. MULTIPLY FAST In one instance a grower who contributed boxes of apples to Kool tenay Lake General hospital asked lhat his boxes be returned. With them he received two or three boxes from areas infected with codling moth, and examination of them showed one worm in one box and two in another. While this number of worms was not regarded as serious, it was pointed out each female moth would lay 60 eggs, and that they would multiply rapidly. There is but one spraying zone ln the district where spraying for codling moth may be enforced. This is at Robson. Growers in that area are largely responsible for the creation of that area. Under spraying zone regulations growers who fail to ob- esrve the regulations may have their trees sprayed whether they wish this to be done or not, the cost being chageable against their property. WORST APRIL SNOWSTORMS IN YEARSHITMIDWESTOFTHEU.S. CHICAGO, April 26 (AP)-One of the worst April snowstorms in recent years proved both a boon and a bane to the midwest today.

If Syd Horswill does not remember his send-off till the end of his days, it will not be the fault of the Nelson high school and the students, who awakened at least two dead people, as well as all the living people in town. It is well known that less than a third of the population of Kaslo was able to get to sleep that night again, and those at Castlegar were wondering what the Doukhobors were blowing up. The ball opened with a dance in the gym which was a howling success. The high school orchestra was used, with Naida Perrier at the piano, Bill Kapak with his sax and violin, Alan Barton with his nice new silver-plated trumpet, and George Russell at the drums. Kapak had a habit of marching around with his violin at his shoulder playing in his girl's ear. His music was so good, however, that this is easily excusable. George Beattie obliged by crooning into some girl's ear. He didn't do it openly because of the fact that there were a lot of quite husky fellows there. Nobody likes crooners but then Mr. Beattie has quite a winning personality and that makes up for it. NO BARN DANCE The break to give a chance for those with speeches on their consciences to get them off was welcome to some but unwelcome to r ~ I iipi [mm othen.lMth*. it**: tractive to be ov< anything else. There weren't which wai a pity, as thit would have addedii bit to the noise. There were, howOer, a couple of circle one-stejw, with Jim Ryley aj announcer, the lad having an opportunity to get sore tonsils earlier than anybody else. There was a full moon that night too, which had its advantages. It was Just sinking behind the mountains when Syd was leaving. LADY IN RED Joan Waters was wearing a brilliant scarlet dress. It was hardly necessary as she is always conspicuous by reason of her good looks. Paul "per Moxie" Brook was in attendance, wide shoulders and all. It's a pleasure to see you there, Maxie. The orchestra was provided by J. B. Gray Jr., and Allen with derby hats. Peggy Gibbon stole Ka- pak's and ran around the hall with it resting on her fluffy coiffure. Despite the Douks, Mr. Bradshaw, our former fellow student of two years ago. was present. I forgot his first name, but will tell you when I remember. Steve Smith was there, along with Leo Atwell, Ernie and Santo Del Puppo, Allan Bennett, Morley Burnett, Merline Liversidge. Freda MacKay was pretty much in evidence. There were only two formal evening dresses present. One was blue-green and the other pink. Gary Bowell soon took off his coat, exposing a check shirt and a scarlet-striped tie, complete with gold tiepin. There were a few from the junior high . . . George Gill, Don Bliss, Janie Wigg. Several home waltzes were played as the orchestra couldn't seem to be able to make up its mind. THE PIPERS Marshalling of the parade wasn't very efficiently handled, but there was no rowdiness, so the lack of organization did no harm. Hugh Middleton, John Stout and Peter Leslie led the parade with the pipes, followed by the Pep band, consisting of two Strudwickes, Ralph Myers, Bob Morris, and Joe Galllcano, Allan Barton was the owner of the shiniest instrument. Syd followed on top of his dad's truck, which was driven by SUn. Bob was also there, as were Horswill mere and pare. They all looked proud. The crowd seemed hard to get started into a school yell or a song, half of them starting at one time and the other half at another. A third half, of course, didn't start at all. Doug Gallaher packed a torch. WEIGHT AND HEIGHT Once down at the station, Al Euerby, who was there with his pleasant smile and willingness to help, along with Fred Graves, shouldered Syd and held him aloft. Then they put him on a baggage wagon, and PAGES REHEAR8E FOR CORONATION LONDON, April 26 (CP-Havas)- In Westminster Abbey today 20 pages rehearsed their coronation duties under the watchful eyes of Earl Marshal the Duke of Norfolk ON THE AIR CANADIAN BROADCA8TING CORPORATION NETWORK 5.00 Ici Paris, second anniversary broadcast, Montreal; 6:00 Crown Jewels and Coronation, Toronto; 6:30 Horace Lapp's orch,, Toronto; 6:45 News and weather, Toronto; 7:00 National Sing Song. dir.

There was a rush to the lunch counter to get soft drinks to cool the red hot tonsils as soon as the noise became really opened up. Gub- by Gore lost his voice altogether. This nearly killed him. Unfortunately the C.P.R. wouldn't cooperate by blowing a whistle, the rata! However, all good things must come to an end, and the train tin- ally had to leave. The engineer was Mac Kenrot. the fireman was Lee Gammon. Rube Tiffin wa» the brains. At last the big Pacific type, No. 2S21, bit into the rails and the first exhaust whoofed through the stack. As the train clicked out of sight Syd could see a forest of waving arms and handkerchiefs and hats bidding him Godspeed. Then everyone went home to pour cough medicine down his throat to ward off hoarseness. C.N.R.

LIFE A MUTUAL COM PAN Y The Queen, a charming mother, and Princess Elizabeth. In the years that she was known to England and the empire as the Duchess of York and not as the future Queen, her majesty made the first and foremost interest of her life the welfare of her family and the upbringing of her two daughters. Queen of England now. with Princess Elizabeth her elder daughter the heir presumptive to the throne, and slated perhaps some day to follow in the footsteps of her namesake of centuries ago, the task of rearing her growing children has become an even more vital problem to Queen Elizabeth. -4 'NO WONDER YOU LOVE ENO! IT'S SO PLEASANT-TASTING-DOES VOU THE WORLD OF GOOD-AND NOT A SINGLE THING IN ENO CAN UPSET YOU. DADDY TAKES ENO EVERY MORNING." CAS/S7 ENO'S 'FRUIT SALT *) the pleasant alkalizing corrective 1M GLAD WE GOT OUT OF V IHE AILIHREE CLASS "NOW WE'VE GOT A GREAT BIG NA8H-AND IT COST ME ONLY A FEW DOLLARS SWORE* THAN ONE OF THOSE SMALLER CARS!" A royal mother faces many difficult problems that do not come to the average mother, but if throughout the empire Queen Elizabeth is known for one outstanding characteristic, it is for her success as a homemaker. Reared in a Scottish family, she was taught early the many duties of a housewife and all that is implied in the job of building a home. When she became the wife of a king's son, her entry to the royal circle did not take from her the deep respect a,id love sae had acquired for home life, and from then until the day she became the Queen she has been an example to the world. As Queen her duties increase manifold, with the spotlight more than ever upon this simple charming Scottish girl and the household under her guidance. The little Princess was only a few months old when her parents left England for their first extended empire tour and the young mother was separated from her child for six busy months. Queen Mary took the supervision of the royal infant, who was already the brightest jewel in Britain's royal treasures to loyal thousands under the British flag, and the Queen Mother has had much to do with Elizabeth's training. 'Tis said that the Queen is a strict, if kindly, mother; there is no spoiling of the two Princesses. Her majesty appreciates deeply the place they must fill in later life and governs her household accordingly. She herself taught Princess Elizabeth and later Princess Margaret Rose their alphabets and the first elementary lessons, as well as the nursery ballads and stories that every child loves, and joined in their'little problems and their pastimes as they grew older. With a multitude of duties making calls uoon her time, the duchess and now the Queen, made time for the greatest job of all—building a family that has become an example in home life to the empire.

(enlraliles Hit in House 'A' Team, Hoop Final House "A" Gets Sharp Cup After Central's Sensational Play Proving a bombshell in the knock- out contest of school basketball clubs of players under 16 years for the C. M. Sharp cup and making a sensational cleanup of all opposing teams, the Central school aggregation came up against a stone wall that they could not pass when they met thc Nelson junior high school house "A" hoop squad in the final game of the series in the junior high school gym Monday afternoon. The game ended 12-9 for the house "A" hoopsters, and the cup will rest in their hands for the year. The junior high team's hard fought victory was wrenched from ihe Centralites in the last minutes of the last half, after being down 7-6 at the end of the first, when Ernie Defoe ran wild to add four points to the eight already scored by Don P!ia*W A. Vulcano, outstanding forward of the Central team, practically ran the opposing heavier team off its feet with his wild dashes and fast play. His work brought all nine points to the Centralites. The game was clean and exceptionally fast, but still George Wallach, referee, had to pass out several penalties, and the junior high was severely handicapped and nearly lost their game when the second half opened with Howard Breeze having three personal penalties. A. Vulcano and W. Vulcano of the Central, had single penalties, along with Don Blight and Ernie Defoe of the house "A." Throughout the game the Centralites showed the benefit of Monty Morley's coach work. Teams were: Central—A. Vulcano, W. Vulcano, Joe Dycke, B. Brindle.W. Uchacz and R. Morrow.

SUGGESTS PARK EAD ROSSLAN! AVENUE, TRAIL Parks Board Turns It Down as Too Near the Railway TRAIL, B.C., April 26—Charles Catalano suggested to the city council Monday night that it should not sell a piece of property at the head of Rossland avenue and that it be turned into a children's playground, especially in view of the menace to children playing on Rossland avenue during hours of heavy traffic, Alderman J. R. Anderson, member of the parks board, stated that body had decided against making it a playground, particularly because it was near a railway track. He said that at the existing park off Rossland avenue it was a task to keep fences in repair and prevent children getting outside on the track. Mayor Bruno LeRo.se explained that as lots would be too small if the property should be" subdivided, the city had decided to sell it in one piece for commercial purposes, Trail Hospital Board Fearful of Noise of Dances TRAIL, B.C., April 26. — Trail- Tadanac hospital board urged the Trail city council tonight to take caution in the granting of a licence to hold dances in thc new proposed building which is to replace the existing Union hotel block, situated on the opposite side of Cedar avenue from the hospital, in a letter read tonight, The board claimed running of a dance hall so close to the hospital would be detrimental to patients. W. E. B. Monypenny, city clerk, said the city had no authority over dance halls as there were no licences required for holding dances. Mayor Bruno LcRose told thc council the owners proposed to erect a $40,000 building on the Union hotel site, which he considered a good revenue producer for the city and also a credit to it. He said the hall to be contained in the building was not primarily for dances, according to thc builders, but for staging of private banquets and other private affairs. The matter was left in the mayor's hands. CfamvL MANY ARTISTIC TINTS Alabastine provides a ricb, beautiful, lasting finish at low cost. Will not rub off, or show brush-marks.

He spoke briefly on the dirth of players for the game this season ond on the future of boxla as a major sport in the West Kootenays. The game was rapidly assuming the same proportions as hockey in fans' minds. Gordon ^nnett, who was chairman for the program committee entertained with a talk on a Jew of the more adventurous details of his life and his trip from the coast to this district. In this he told of his adventures in breaking horses, and of his varied past employments in the electrical business, mechanical field, in banking, lumbering and many others. A suggestion was heard from T. H. Glover concerning the holding of a pet show, which had been tried witli success in other cities. The matter will be held for later consideration. Arising from a discussion pertaining to the Gyro park and thc work that was being done there and had been done by the city as well as themselves the Gyros through a motion by George Lambert voted a grant of $125 to the city council lo lie used at the discretion of the council for improvements to the park. The appreciation of the club and various members individually was voiced for the cooperation received from tlie city in past matters pertaining to the park. Charles Morris, past president, occupied the chair in the absence of Dr. H. H, MacKenzie, president. A guest nf the club was Mr. George of Toronto. Even the young people of the Slocan valley are interested in the recent burnings of schools and halls in that vicinity.

BIG AUDIENCE IS THRILLED, MYSTERY PLAY Little Theatre's 1937 Offering Scores Heavily SETTING AIDS PRESENTATION Excellent Cast Wins Approval for Its Fine Work Excellently developed by a cast which made the most of the unusual setting and novel plot, "A Murder Has Been Arranged", Emlyn Williams' noted mystery play which was presented at the Civic Theatre Monday night by the Nelson Little Theatre was thoroughly enjoyed by one of the largest audiences to greet an amateur offering in Nelson this season. Mrs. Leslie Craufurd, directing, had excellent material in the cast to carry the story and to forcibly bring its enjoyment to the audience. Embracing 'ghosts of history", a wiered prophecy, a murder, a dumb girl ghost, a huge fortune to be inherited at the ghostly hour of 11, a next-of-kin who stood to inherit if the terms of the strange will should not be observed—all this centred about a dinner party given on the stage of St. James theatre by Sir Charles Jasper, the heir, on his fortieth birthday. This all contributed to the strikingly different play. SETTING SPLENDID The interpretation of the stage setting was in no small measure an important contribution to the atmosphere of the presentation. Lighted candles on a dinner table, a black "drop" and deep shadows out of which players emerged aided in the creation of that atmosphere. The costumes too, emphasizing the "ghosts of history" idea, aided in it. With the setting so arranged and an appreciative audience out in front, the players excelled themselves. Mrs. Frank Meagher was cast as "Miss Croze", Calvin Winter as "Cavendish", Mrs. H. D. Dawson a? "Mrs. Wragg", George Greenwood as "Jimmy North", Mrs. Fred Weir as "Beatrice Jasper", Miss Eileen Dill as "Mrs. Arthur", mother of Beatrice, G. S. Godfrey as "Sir Charles Jasper", Fred Weir as "Maurice Mullins" and Mrs. Clarence Wilson as "a woman". Miss Jean Gilker had charge of properties. The orchestra attending consisted of Ted Svenson, Clarence Wilson, John Learmonth and Miss Margaret Graham. TIMMINS, Ont.

NO REWARD IN SIGHT FOR FORMER KING ALFONSO Spanish royal family is reported by one of its members to have put up its last cent in financing General Franco's revolution, even selling the family's jewels to raise funds. The contribution of former King Alfonso is placed at $10,000,000. If this is true the only conclusion that can be reached is that Alfonso has no more of a gift for picking winners than he had for rulership of a nation. He lost his crown and throne because he made a mess of his job. Now it looks as if he needs a guardian. That is not to say that Franco may not win the civil war. He looks to have an even chance. But even a Franco victory would be most unlikely to mean that Alfonso would also win. If the general is enough of a dictator to control Spain he will not be at all disposed to vacate the driver's seat in favor of the former king. That is not the way of dictators. Hitler (lid not send out any hurry up calls for the former kaiser when he got Germany under his thumb, nor did Mussolini adopt a by-your-leave attitude toward the King of Italy when he took charge of affairs in that country. So that Alfonso is in the unhappy position of being an almost certain loser no matter which side is victorious in the Spanish struggle, unless he is content with a "moral" victory. It is most improbable, however, that his objective was of an altruistic nature when he handed the Bourbon bankroll over to Franco. JAPANESE POLITICS Politics in Japan presents striking contrasts with politics on this continent. But there are certain similarities, as the election campaign which is now in full swing in the Flowery Kingdom reveals. The contending parties delight in hurling evasive slogans at one another. The government, which is largely dominated by the army, finds its chief opposition in the old political parties. The premier, Senjuro Hayashi, proposed to appeal to the people on a platform which called for clarification of the national structure, replenishment of national defence, and expansion of national industrial power. His ministers felt that these principles were a little too vague to mean anything to the people, so after a terrific struggle it was decided to elaborate them. Finally an eight-plank platform was constructed in which.details were set forth to elaborate the abstract principles. Clarification of the national structure and unification of the national spirit were explained as meeting the extension of compulsory education and unspecified educational reforms. Political and administrative reform means the reform of the election machinery, and establishment of an arr ministry to combat Russian superiority in aviation. Foreign policy with unified national support is a face- saving manner of implying that the army will no longer carry things with a high hand in China.- No details are given on the principle of replenishment of national defence and preparation of a national mobilization, but it indicates that the army heads would like to take a leaf out of Mussolini's book. Stabilization of the people's livelihood and social reforms are elaborated as meaning health improvement, social insurance and workers' welfare. Expansion of national industrial power may mask another advance toward Fascism, for it i.s explained as meaning development of supplies of iron and liquid fuel, and coordinated control of business, support of small businesses nnd better control of electric power. In rehabilitation of fishing and agricultural communities, a bid is made for the depressed masses of rural Japan. It is explained as meaning agricultural insurance, promotion of rural industries, and inculcation of solidarity among rural communities, which again sounds like II Duce. The final principle taxation reform and control of rising prices, sounds familiar to western ears. In detail it means adjustment of tax systems lo equalize the burdens, control of speculation in commodities, improvement in the trade balance, development of foreign trade, and aid to emigration. Against these planks the parties raise slogans like "Clean Politics," "Honest Elections" and others which sound like our old war-cry "Turn the Rascals Out."

Canada's coronation contingent now assembled at Ottawa is not a regiment of six-footers like the Grenadier Guards or the Australian troops, who are to march in London's "big parade." The Canadians were selected for their military experience and service rather than their physique. More than half of them fought in the great war, and it is considered a tribute to Canadian veterans that so large a proportion of the coronation contingent now mobilized and training in Ottawa are men who went over the top or served the guns in France. Col. J. E. L. Streight, M.C, M.P., who commands the contingent, speaks in the highest terms of thc men as they go through their exercises at Lansdowne park. "It is an army without crime," said the j bronzed leader. "Not one black mark thus far has been made against a single member of the contingent. The men have been put on their honor, given their freedom to come and go after the day's duties are done and they have played the game like gentlemen." The men are delighted with the accommodation provided for them in Ottawa. They have excellent sleeping quarters in the exhibition grandstand building. Each man has his own cot and there are adequate sanitary arrangements, shower baths and a recreation room. On the ground floor is the men's dining hall, and their menus are widely different from the bully and hard-tack of war days. The lunch table groaned under the following menu: Cream of tomato soup, fish, roast sirloin of beef, creamed pars- nips and potatoes, bread and butter, j cottage pudding, custard sauce and tea or coffee. For breakfast today they had rolled oats or other cereal, sausages and eggs or bacon and eggs, steamed apples, tea or coffee. Tonight for dinner there were assorted cold meats, hashed brown potatoes and baked beans, pickled beets, ice cream and cake, tea or coffee. • » • MORE AND MORE And speaking of the coronation crowd—I was at the station to bid Syd Horswill adieu. He is the Kootenay representative. Syd carried away a monster orange I tucked into his pocket. It had been given me prior to that by Vic Foltz.

Robert Smillie, acting principal of the high school, was as proud ,as punch and took time to compare the scholars of today with the scholars of years past at the high school, Bert Whimster and Russel Potter were at the sendoff—and they were dressed in their tuxedo suits—having just returned from Trail—Various members of the board of trade were present — Albet Eucby was strong man and boosted Syd atop his shoulder—The three bandsmen from the school did well—in spite of some bad notes—which seemed to fit into the occasion anyway—I met Wm.

To the Editor: Sir—In your Issue of Monday morning was published the last of the winners in the musical festival held at Trail. One of these honors has been won in such a grossly dishonest way that it should be brought to the notice of the public, namely —"Junior Bands". The so-called "junior" band of Trail had among its members "men" with full grown moustaches and admitting their age as over 26 years. The official syllabus states junior bands are to be under 18 years of age, and that no contestant shall have reached that age either before or even during the festival. I ask you, is this fair to the other band who were in this competition who range from just under 13 years to under 17 years? And what is to prevent other contestants from following this example if they know they can get away with it? The cup which was given fo: this competition should be taken over by the trustees of same to be held for future use as this band has no right to it having taken it under a false entry. Trusting this will be taken up by the right parties, the executive of the festival. -JULIA M. BLACKWELL Nelson, B. C. - NATURALIZE DOUKHOBORS AND ISOLATE UNWILLING MEMBERS, HE SUGGESTS To the Editor: Sir—I have been following this column of letters and have taken note of what the English speaking people think of our present Douk- fiobor troubles and what the Doukhobors think themselves. I would therefore appreciate to be allowed space to express my opinions on the subject. We cannot blame all Doukhobors for the fire outrages, especially we cannot blame the majority of our friends and neighbors, the Independent Doukhobors. To the largest extent they have abided to our Canadian laws. However, I shall not say the same for the Community Doukhobors as there are certain laws that they do not abide by, such as marriage, birth and death laws. Being a Canadian citizen and abiding to these laws, I cannot see the reason ,these people are allowed such privileges. What would happen if an English speaking Canadian should break one of such laws? The sect of Sons of Freedom are far more extreme than are the Community of Doukhobors. Boycotts, curfews or making an open season on all Doukhobors would only make known to the world at large that We Canadians and British subjects in British Columbia are nothing but a bunch of hotheads, ready for violence whether we have evidence as to who are the guilty persons or not. If this Ir, to be a sample of British justice, I'll turn and ji>eeome a Doukhobor myself. We elect responsible persons into powr* to govern our country for us and this is a job for such parties and the government at large to do duty in according with British justice. If such parties, and .such government is willing to sit tight and do nothing to remedy the situation, it is then high time that a govern ment was elected In British Columbia that would do so. British Columbia police are steadily losing the respect of we Cana- j dians as this is not the first time that these burnings have occurred and convictions of the guilty persons did not come about. This case is entirely out of the hands of tlie police and their ordinary routine. The only solution to the problem that I would suggest, is that our government take measures and find out which of the Doukhobors in B, C really want to be Canadian citizens and become British subjects and in time give such Doukhobors citizen papers, the remaining Doukhobors who want to make a country within our country by living under the community system and who do not like our laws to be removed and placed under isolation in some northern territories where there are no Inidans to interfere with. If they do not like the arrangement, they can be given the option of leaving the Canadian soil. To the benefit of British Columbia and to Canada, tillers of the soil are a necessity, and Doukhobors are known to be such, and as long as he or she is willing to live as the rest of us, he or she is perfectly welcome to live amongst us, in my opinion. A. S. WOYNA. Appledale, B. C. Gives Line Up of King's Broadcast To the Editor: Sir—May it be suggested that when the Coronation day committee is making a final lineup of the program events, consideration be given to the matter of the time of His Majesty's broadcast to the Empire peoples so that loyal citizens may have the opportunity of listening in and at the same time not be deprived of participating in the communal festivities. According to English press despatches, the King's broadcast will be the culmination of the Coronation night broadcast entitled "The Empire's homage", and on this historic occasion, he will speak into a special microphone at Buckingham palace. As his father talked to "My beloved people" on the memorable Christmas day broadcasts of the past, so will the newly crowned monarch speak to his Empire. Stan- Icy Baldwin, the viceroy of India, the prime ministers of the dominions and representatives of other units of the Empire will also take part in the broadcast. It is understood that for forty minutees from 7:20 p.m. Greenwich time—(Nelson time is eight hours behind of this! listeners not only in Britain, but throughout the Empire and in other parts of the world, will be taken, by radio westward around the globe till the prime minister of Great Britain, in his closing address, leads up to the message from King George to his people.

WHAT THE PRESS IS SAYING FOR HIGH THINKING Tne people of the world can be classified as those who put their feet on their desks and those who have no desks. Obviously, because they have the facilities for putting their feet higher than their heads, the heavy thinking is done by those supplied wilh office equipment. Thus, since the white collar has nothing to do with the situation, general recognition of this fact should make our social problem a lot easier. What we need is a roll top desk in every home. —Chronicle, Crape, Mo. AUNTHET By .ROBERT QUILLEN ! 20 YEARS AGO From Nelson Dally Newt Fllei \ (April 27, 1917) W.

I 30 YEARS AGO I | From Nelson Dally News Flics CONTRACT BRIDGE By SHEPARD BARCLAY I "Tlie Authority of Authorities" BUILDING A VIENNA COUP Whenever you can run H solid bunch of tricks to within one of the number you need to make your contract, it is well tn think of the possiblity of building a squeeze by means of a Vienna coup. When the last card of your suit is offered, you are on an ideal situation if th.1 left hand opponent must guard against, a single card in the dummy and the right hand opponent must defend against a single card in your own hand Their task in this renders it impossible for either to retain also a guard in a third suit in which Ihe dummy has the high card plus a little one.

Tomorrow's Problem THE DOCTOR SAYS... LOGAN CLENDENING, M.D. ' VACCINE PREVENTS DISEASE I pointed out yesterday that thl regular annual 300,000 outbreal of whooping cough in thc Unite! States reaches its peak in April, an! leaves a mortality of 6,000 in it[ wakes. That is enough to make onj regard it as a serious disease. All the more have public healtl officials been watching the progra in preventive vaccination againsl whooping cough. Dr. Louis SaueJ of Evanston, 111,, began enthusiastic™ ally lo throve, about 192fi, that hi could wipe whooping cough ofl tho face of tlie earth. He has beerl at it ever .since. At first his worlf was regarded with skepticism. Pub.4 lie health workers were not all cOn-f vinced that the germ he was work-] ing with was the real cause ofl whooping cough. Dr. Sauer continued, however, tol gather facts. He started a scriesl of experiments to prove his pointX He began giving vaccine against! whooping rough to only one child! in a family. But all the children! went lo school. In the course ofl time, whooping cough would hill the school. Finally Dr. Sauer had! this kind of record to show; In 251 families, 32 children had becn vaccinated, had gone through an epidemic of whooping cough in their | schools, and had not contracted it, while .11 of their brothers and sis- \ ters, similarly exposed, all came] ilown with it, SEEMS TO CLINCH CASE The final, and what seems to be I the clinching case, was of four brothers near the same age. Tlie two youngest Were vaccinated against whooping cough, the two oldest were not. When the' epi- ' demic of whooping cough rarnp along, the two unvaceinated boys rame down with it right away. The two vaccinated ones lived in the same house with the infected brothers all through the attack, and had absolutely no symtoms or discomfort whatever. This observation is so convincing because all of them were living under the same conditions of hygiene, eating the same food. etc. It takes some time to make the observations on such things. You rannot just say that if a child is vaccinated and doesn't take the disease in a year, it is immunized. It may not, have been exposed. But now Dr. Sauer has careful records, eleven years in duration, which seem to me to prove conclusively lhat he has actually found a way to prevent this dreadful scourge. Inasmuch as it affects young infants, it is best to give the immunization before the second half- year. Dr. Sauer, recognizing that it is not advisable to attempt to immunize against several diseases simultaneously, suggests the following plan: immunize against whooping cough during" the second half-year, against diphtheria four months later, against smallpox four months later still. Tlie immunization requires three doses of vaccine at intervals of one week. No bad symptoms have ever followed an injection. The vaccine is of no value ir treatment of established whooping cough—only prevention. future not only of Japan and Asia, but of the world. A decisive defeat to Fascism in Japan would remove one of the most dangerous menaces to world peace. "I feel sorry for John's little girl.

(107) was given to the Rotary club Monday by Rev. C. H. Wilkinson, of Kangra, in the Punjab. VAST DIVERSITY Introduced by Rev. W. J, Silver- wood, who referred to his 12 years in India, and to his being in charge of the Anglican missions, Mr. Wilkinson proceeded to give a great many vital facts in a short space of time, which made up a particularly vivid and understanding picture of India. One could not visualize the Indian problem unless he grasped that India had 350,000,000 inhabitants, 222 different languages, besides dialects, and many religions, involving a vast variety of creeds. The problem of giving self-government to India was further complicated by the fact that 90 per cent of the population was illiterate, and 90 per cent practised agriculture. One could not know India, Mr. Wilkinson said, unless he knew the villager. CONGRESS PARTY NOT INDIA Referring to the new constitution and the dispatches reporting that tht Congress party had been successful in six of the 11 provinces, and then refused to take office, the speaker explained that the Congress party was predominantly Hindu, and therefore not representative of India. While 30,000.000 to 35,000,000 voters exercised their franchise in the recent election, as there were so many illiterates, the verdict of the polls could not really mean much. Many villagers, for instance, put in the ballot-boxes prayers to the gods, and others, petitions to the government to remit the real estate tax. While the Congress party was not sympathetic to the agricultural population, realizing Gandhi's popularity it used him, and induced him to speak, and as the villagers had a belief that if they voted for Gandhi, all their troubles would be I over, the party thus benefitted by a ! great vote obtained by that method. [ While the Congress party wanted j to nullify the constitution, Mr. i Wilkinson said, there were other j parties that were anxious to use it. The Mohammedans, for instance, [ were not in the Congress fold, and 1 many of the moderate-minded of I that faith wanted it accepted. Fur- ; ther, some Indian public men who i were in favor of the constitution j were left out of the elections. Others nominally approved the position of the Congress party so that they could get elected. Noting that the London Times was regarded as an extremely sound authority upon India, the speakei quoted the Times as declaring that the refusal of the Congress party to accept office was tantamount lo a confession of incapacity. It was i somewhat similar, the speaker suggested, to the case of an individual I who wanted a certain responsibility I until it was in his hands, and then ; hc was afraid of it. FIVE PROVINCES ORGANIZED . But the congress party did not entirely control the situation, Mr. 1 Wilkinson pointedoul, In five provinces minority groups had formed MRS. DUPPERON LAID AT REST AT ROSSLAND ROSSLAND, B. C.-The funeral of Mrs. Joseph Dupperson took place from St. Andrew's United church, Saturday afternoon, Rev. T. W. Reed conducting the service. Interment was in Sunnyside cemetery, the service at the graveside being conducted by the officers of Rossland Hteview, W. B. A. Pall bearers were P. Drake, John Newman, Robert McNab, Robert Donaldson, James Hansen and J. Milligan. entry by the medium of radio vans, | self-government schemes, the speaker admitted their record was not very happy to date, though progress was being made. His hearers were interested to learn he was a mayor, with two Hindu and two Mohammedan colleagues, between whom he acted as referee. He said he had become unpopular with bib council, but popular with the people, because of his insistence that the revenue be spent for thc public benefit. He said the government's object was to make the municipalities training grounds for government. Another activity was the improvement of live stock, in which the viceroy took a direct interest. ARMY PROTECTS DOOR Respecting the Indian army, Mr. Wilkinson stated it was vital that it. should hold thc front door, across the northwest frontier. If it ever should be removed, he said India would instantly be invaded by savage tribes from Afghanistan, who would rush down and loot. Perhaps some Mohammedan race might follow, and then perhaps some European power. So there was a line of forts in front of the border. If the British army, only 60,000 strong, should be withdrawn, there would be an untold confusion in a few days. It was because this matter was so misrepresented by unsympathetic writers, particularly those in the American magazines, that he referred to this point, Mr. Wilkinson said. R. E. Potter, president, and Mr, Silverwood joined in thanking the visiting speaker for his splendid address. A fellow guest was Rev. J. G. Holmes, rector of St. Saviour's.

Work Makes Progress Examination of underground workers in the mines for silicosis, begun since amendment of the compensation act to include disability arising out of silicosis, is carried on by Dr. Gordon F. Kincade from Tranquille at the various mines out of Nelson in conjunction with tuberculosis clinic. "As was expected," states Dr. Kin- cade, "numerous cases of silicosis arc being discovered, about 10 per cent of those miners examined to date being affected. Considering the large number of old time miners who are still employed, this is not unusual wh'en it is well known that in those working in quartz dust where silica is present, the disease often develops after seven years' exposure. On the other hand, a great many men with 25 and more years in quartz dust have perfectly normal lungs. This, of course, depends on the conditions under which the men work and upon their physical well-being while working." Steps are being taken, as everywhere else, to clear the mines of tuberculosis. Silicosis is known to have a ready susceptibility to this disease. That there are 4500 known cases of tuberculosis in the province with 700 in the interior and 160 known cases in West Kootenay, that 93 new cases were reported in the province for February and that the highest mortality rate is between the ages of 18 and 29 are statistical figures and observations obtained from Dr. Kincade. He conducted a travelling clinic from Tranquille against tuberculosis during the past year over about 1500 miles of the interior, his territory taking in all of the interior as far north as Hazel- ton, east to Crow's Nest and including the Peace River, during which time he examined about 4500 cases. Measures against tuberculosis are advancing, he states. The extension of this work into the mining areas has necessitated placing a second clinic in operation in the interior and it is hoped the clinic will be permanently established. If so, prevention of tuberculosis clinics will have quadrupled within the last two years. In 1935 one clinic served the entire province and last year two more were added. He further states that an effort is being made to inform the public about the disease. To this end a booklet, "Lessons in Tuberculosis," is being published for distribution in the schools for children to take home and be brought to the attention of parents. Tuberculosis tests in school children in grades 1 and 2, such as Dr. F. M. Auld, acting medical health officer in Nelson, is conducting, he says, are influential in narrowing down the source of the infection. Children of that age have very few outside contacts. If infection is present, it can usually be traced to the home, when an early case is often found. After that age a child is more liable to have been infected outside j the home. At a recent clinic when seven children showed positive tu- j berculin reactions in school, it re- suited in two adults from the | homes reporting for tests and 10 of these had positive reactions. The test is also useful in finding early cases in children. Children from five years to 15, says Dr. Kincade, usually recover quickly when removed from contact. They are, however, more susceptible to thc disease in later life when the strain becmes heavier. Those interested in fighting the disease who realize the sapping of strength which halts the careers stress the urgent need of stopping the disease in its early stages when cure is faster and surer, without the heavy loss of years, and expense, which occurs when the disease has been allowed to develop, With only 6,t0 beds in British Columbia sanatoria, says Dr. Kincade, and about 500 new cases of tuberculosis discovered each year, taking in every patient would minimize the period for each patient j to seven months. For that reason I the institution of centres for pneu- ' mothorax treatment, as is that conducted by Dr. Auld in Kootenay Lake General hospital, affords relief to a great need for quicker turnover of beds. It also gives the patent who learned from sanatorium routine how to protect himself and others from infection the privilege of continuing treatment at home and makes room in the sanatorium for a new patient to benefit from gaining that knowledge. Dr. Kincade states surgical advancement recently introduced the use of intra pleural pneumolysis at the sanatoria in B.C., minimizing the necessity of the major thoracoplasty operations. It is an operation by which adhesions are cut to enable pneumothorax treatment. About three or four operations a week are being performed at the sanatoria. In Vancouver, he says the Florence Nightingale Nursing home was recently established for chronic ambulatory tuberculosis patients who have no other place to go for thc rest and care necessary to their condition. The latest pneumothorax equipment furnished in the Kootenay Lake General hospital has been a real aid and Dr. Kincade expressed the clinic's appreciation of the cooperation and interest which made it possible.

In cases where governments were not formed, the governors had wide- powers and could carry on alone if the need arose. The native parties asked why the governors should i nave the power of veto of financial ' measures, and control of the police, I but these- were wise provisions, and ' extreme powers would be used only j if necessary. ; In the meantime, the Congress party had the fullest opportunity In carry on and govern, It. might be ; very noisy now, but it was possible j that in the end it would decide to accept responsibility as the best I moans of exercising power, i Next Mr. Wilkinson pictured the | great things the government had j clone for the advancement of India, i particularly in the Punjab, where he was stationed.
