Grey Owl an Englishman "Playing
Indian', Former Associate Says
NORTH BAY, Ont., April 14 (CP)
—Claim that Grey Owl, famous Indian naturalist with the braided
hair, colorful costume and moccasins, was a full-blooded Englishman,
who came into northern Ontario in
1906 with a Cockney accent, was
made today.
Grey Owl died
yesterday at
Prince Albert,
Sask,. and if the
story told by William H. Guppy of
Tlmagami station,
near here, is true,
one bf the world's
best known Indians was no Indian at all.
Guppy said that
Grey Owl's name
was Archie Be-
OREY OWL laney, a fact Grey
Owl admitted when in 1915 he
joined the Canadian forces at Dig-
by, N.S. But Grey Owl said later
he Was born near the Mexican herder. His father was a Scot named
McNeil, his mother an Apache Indian.
"YOUNG
ENGLISHMAN"
Guppy said: "Archie Belaney was
_ Engl' '
met him at Temiskamlng in 1906. I
a young Englishman when I first
should say he was about 23 or 24.
"He spoke with an ordinary English accent, a Cockney accent we
used to say in those days. He did-
not know a word of Indian."
Guppy took him in hand and
made a guide of him.
"He really was a good guide and
he delighted to learn all the tricks
of the woodsman, like'using an axe
skilfully and all the arte of the
guide," Guppy related. He was, in
fact, like a toy playing Indian.
"He Just loved cowboys and Indians, and spent his days trying
to be one. Indians were his friends
and he lived with them. Then he
went out to war and I lost sight ot
him;"
Guppy said he was amused years
later when he read and saw photographs of Grey Owl. He was positive it Waa the Englishman, ''still
playing Indian".
"As Class Undesirable
Citizens," Says
Resolution
"STILL REFUSE
OBEY OUR LAWS"
With the assertion that although
Doukhobors "have lived in our
midst for 25 years they still refuse
to obey our laws and as a class
are undesirable citizens," and that
their votes would "be controlled"
by one man, the Nelson board of
trade at its luncheon meeting
Thursday passed a resolution protesting against the federal franchise being returned to Doukhobors. They were disenfranchised in
1934.
When the resolution was presented to the board by the special
committee drafted to study reports
that a bill before the federal house
proposed to return the vote to these
people, H. D. Dawson expressed the
opinion some Doukhobors were becoming citizens and should not be
placed in the same classification as
others.
C. F. McHardy suggested those
breaking away from the Community might be entitled to the franchise.
NO DISTINCTION •
William Waldie felt no distinction could be made between Community members and Independents,
since they all admitted allegiance
to the one spiritual head.

CRERAR CALLS SOCIAL CREDIT'THIS
WEIRD THING IN ALBERTA'; NOBODY
UNDERSTANDS IT, MINISTER STATES!
WINNIPEG, April 14 (CP) - Canadians' conception of their responsibility to the state has deteriorated
definitely since the Great war, Hon.
T. A. Crerar, "federal minister of
mines and: natural resources, said
today in addressing the Laurier
club here.
"Take this weird thing in Alberta
that they call Social Credit," he
said. "Nobody, understands it. But
we find it in parliament. We had
a debate there on Social Credit
which consumed probably five or
six days. Mr. Bennett made a contribution of five or six hours where
he could have compressed it into
15 minutes.
"At the same time we 'had. a
splendid discussion initiated the
other day on a very vital question,
that of appeals to the privy council. But while the debate started od
a high vote it ended on a perfectly
absurd note because a member from
Alberta got up and advanced the
fantastic argument that we were
not a parliament at all, that wsj
were not legally constituted as
such.
"Why has this thing happened in
Alberta? When any sort of indiv-i
idual who has any sort of capacltJ
for a flow of words can get peopH
to listen to any sort of slaptrap hi
wants to put up, then that's a danger signal to the democratic system.*

MORE ABOUT
Doukhobor Vole
(Continued From Page One)
A. F. Dodd declared any proposal
to enfranchise Doukhobors should
be "stepped on."
"They've been with us for years
but instead of improving they're a
greater curse than ever," asserted
J. A. McDonald, chairman of the
committee. "They won't assimilate,
they are not good neighbors for the
farmers, and as competitors their
chiselling ways make it impossible
for the business man or the worker
to compete, with them."
THE RESOLUTION
The resolution as passed follows;
"Whereas* it is currently reported
in the press that the minister of
health, on behalf of the Dominion
government, proposes to restore the
vote to the Doukhobors disfranchised in 1934; and
"Whereas it has been proven by
experience that members of the
Christian Community of Universal
Brotherhood are unfit to use the
right to their franchise, their votes
being controlled by their leader as
their spiritual head;
"Therefore be it resolved that the
secretary be instructed to write the
minister of health protesting
strongly against the Doukhobors being given the right to vote.
"Furthermore we would point out
that although they have lived in
our midst for 25 years they still refuse to obey our laws and as a class
are undesirable citizens.

Dr. Lees Made
Members
TRAIL, B. C„ April 14—A recommendation of the roads and bridges committee that no further steps
be taken towards increasing the
hours of free service of the Castlegar ferry, was referred back at a
meeting of the Trail board of trade
here tonight. As ferry soon would
be operating on a 24-hour schedule,
it was felt that the matter should be
left in abeyance for the time being.
Tim Buscumb, J. Wilkinson and
Rev. Dr. M. W. Lees were elected
new members without ballot.
' W. A. Curran, who had been the
board's delegate to the Rowell commission at Victoria, reviewed the
brief he presented and was pleased
to note that it had caused the desired reaction.
A resolution from the Kamloop's
board of trade advocating an extensive program of immigration was
referred to the board's council for
recommendation.

from the board of trade at Orillia,
Ont., and endorsed.

British Columbia would hold their
annual convention this year at Trail
on June 6, 7 and 8. Appointment
of Trail board delegates was deferred to the next monthly meeting and the council was appointed
a resolutions committee.
No uction was taken on a resolution from Calgary board of trade,
dealing with the Canadian railway
problem, as it was stated that something of this subject would be submitted to the associated boards.
Motion of Alex Ewing that the
board send a congratulatory wire
to the Trail Smoke Eaters prior to
each game henceforth, waB heartily
endorsed by the entire meeting.

Castlegar Ferry Shows a Large
Gain Compared Wilh a Year Ago
Makes 547 More Round Trips During March
Thah in March, 1937; Nelson Ferry
Has More Vehicles, Fewer People
An extraordinary increase in
traffic as compared with a year ago
was shown by the Castlegar ferry
in March, when it made 2139 round
trips, compared with 1592 in March
of 1937, and carried 3007 passenger
cars compared with 1828 a. year
earlier, 1661 trucks compared with
1029, and 13,687 passengers, compared with 11,518.
While the Nelson ferry showed an
appreciable gain in motor traffic
for the recent March, with a total
of 4860 motor vehicles exclusive of
trailers, its passenger traffic was
down materially, from 18,224 to
15,408. Round trips made were somewhat fewer, accounted for by a
shutdown of a few hours when a
truck went off the ferry approach.
The early spring break-up, involving restrictions on heavy vehicles, affected bus and truck traffic
on all the ferries of the district.
Following are the March statistics, with comparisons as to March
1937, for the five ferries in this district operated by the provincial department of public works:

vari-colored chicks, little wagons
and carts filled with eggs or bunnies, cosily nestled, in wrinkled

eggs Easter morning will all be
revived in the next two or three
days.
Dry cleaners and tailors for the
past week have reported a rushing business, cleaning and patching up "last year's outfit", rakrd

little share ot business either.

nothing of the men, will step forth

and what have you. Special mush'
and services are in store at city
churches, to mark the resurrection

 President Asks Additional Grants
for Works Program; Expansion ot
Housing; Deslerilizalion of Gold
in $i8000r000r000 Recovery Plan
NELSON DAILY NEWS. NELSON. B C-FRIDAY MORNING. APRIL 16. 1938,
WASHINGTON, April 14 (AP)
— President Roosevelt proposed today a $7,000,000,000 recovery program, embracing $5,000,000,000 of
federal spending and lending and
a $2,000,000,000 expansion ol bank
credit.
Setting forth to the United States
congress measures by which he said
the government could "help start
an upward spiral" and summoning
a "united national will" for a vigorous attack on the recession, Mr.
Roosevelt told legislators who recently have dealt stunning defeats
to major administration measures:
"Our capacity is limited only by
our ability to work together. What
is needed is the will.
"The time has come to bring that
will into action with every driving
force at our command. And I am
determined to do my share."
The presidentx divided his program, designed to start national income upward again, into three
groups of measures. The first involved mainly additional appropriations for the fiscal year beginning July 1, It was;
$1,250,000,000 for the works progress administration;
$175,000,000 for the farm security administration;
$75,000,000 for the national
youth administration;
$50,000,000 for the civilian conservation corps and
$1,500,000,000   made   available  to
the    reconstruction    corporation
for lending to business enterprises.
In a second group of measures,
Mr. Roosevelt asked;
$300,000,000 for Immediate expansion of the housing and slum-
clearance work of the United
States housing authority;
$1,450,000,000 for public works
loans and grants;
An additional $100,000,000 for
public roads;
An additional $37,000,000 for
flood control and reclamation
projects already authorized and
An additional $25,000,000 for
federal buildings.
A third group listed by the
chief executive referred to prl-
ate credit.
It Involved desterllizatlon of
$1,400,000,000 of gold and a reduction by the federal reserve
board of member bank reserve
requirements which would add
another $750,000,000 to the credit
resources of the nation's banks.
With these actions, Mr. Roosevelt coupled a simplification of
security commission regulations
to expedite small-business financing.
"These measures," the president
..aid, "will make more abundant
the supply of funds for commerce,
industry and agriculture."
Mr. Roosevelt said the total "out
of pocket cost to the federal government" under the new PWA program should be limited to $1,000,-
000,000 and that loans or grants
should not be made on projects
which cannot be started within
six months after legislation is enacted and completed within a year
and a half.
While I do not wish in  this
message to over-emphasize some
of the needs," the president said,
"I do want to say that I believe
that we must be definitely aware
of certain of them — the elimination   of  future   tax   exempt
bonds  of  all  kinds of  government agencies', the subjecting of
government  salaries  and  wages
of all kinds to federal and state
income taxes;  a serious undertaking to solve the railroad problem and the problem of monopolistic practices and price fixing.**'
"In this situation there is no reason and no occasion for any American to allow his fears to be aroused or his energy and enterprise to
be paralyzed by doubt or uncertainty."
"But the very vigor of the recovery," the president said "in
both durable and consumers'
goods brought Into the picture
early in 1937 certain highly undesirable practices which were in
large part responsible for tbe economic decline which began in
the later months of that year.
"There were many reasons for
this over-production. One was
fear—fear of war abroad, fear of
inflation fear of nationwide
strikes. None of these fears have
been borne out. There were other
causes of over-production and
i these causes differed In each industry."
Of federal debt he said:
"Let us unanimously recognize the fact that the federal
debt, whether it be $25,000,000,-
000 or $40,000,000,000, can be only
paid if the nation obtains a vastly increased citizen income. I repeat that if this citizen income
can be raised to $80,000,000 a
year the national government and
the overwhelming majority of
state and local governments will
be 'out of the red.'"

Japan May Seek
. Truce Soon Says
Chinese Visitor
VANCOUVER, April 14 (CP)-
The only peace terms China will
accept are complete independence
and evacuation of every Japanese
soldier now in the country, Dr.
Heng Chih Tao, noted Chinese educationist and "unofficial diplomat," said here today
Dr. Heng, who arrived here after attending conferences in Europe, said three unexpected developments might compel Japan to
make an early peace with China.
"Japanese plans for conquering
China have been upset by the unexpected resistance of the Chinese,
the big navy programs of Great
Britain and the United States, and
a voluntary boycott of Japanese
goods in many countries," he said.
"Japan did not expect these
things. She may seek a truce very
soon—before she is weakened further."
Dr. Tao, director of the People's
Education Movement in China,
was a delegate to the recent International People's Conference in
London. In 1936 he represented
China at the nine-power conference in Brussels.

SAYS VARICOSE VEINS
CAN BE REDUCED AT HOME
PROVE IT AT 8MALL COST
If you or any relative or friend is
worried because of varicose veins,
or bunches, as good advice for home
treatment as any friend can give, is
to get a bottle of Moone's Emerald
Oil.
Simply ask Mann, Rutherford Co.
or your druggist for an original
bottle of Moone's Emerald Oil and
apply night and morning to the
swollen, enlarged veins. (Soon you
should notice that they are growing
smaller and the treatment should be
continued until the vc.ns are no
longer burdensome. So penetrating
is Emerald Oil that it also helps
simple swellings due to strain to
disappear. (Advt.1
Judge J. A. Valin, chief guardian,
was quoted in a despatch from Callander today as saying "the active
guardians will be delighted If the
education department takes control
ot the teaching of the babies. The
active guardians would then be in
charge of, that most important phase
of their life — health — and of
their business affairs."
The Toronto Star today said the
expected change would be the outcome of a controversy over teaching which developed since the staff
of the Dafoe nursery was changed
six weeks ago.
"Retirement by the active guardians of Nurse Jacqueline Noel and
Teacher Claire Trembley, both
French-Canadians raised a storm of
protest from French-Canadian organizations, representatives of the
Roman Catholic church and from
Oliva Dionne, father of the children," said the story.
Nora Rousselle and Sigrid Ul-
richson replaced Miss Noel and
Claire Tremblay.

Incorrect Labor
Member Is Told
By I. NORMAN 8MITH
Canadian Press Staff Writer
LONDON, April 14 (CP Cable)-
Arthur Henderson, Labor, drew the
attention of Malcolm MacDonald,
secretary for the Dominions, in the
house of commons today to Prime
Minister Michael Savage's statement
of yesterday regarding the respect'
ive views on foreign affairs of the
United Kingdom and New Zealand
governments.
Mr. MacDonald told the house:
"I have questioned that the re
port of my answer (to a question in
the house) which went to New
Zealand and on which Mr. Savage
based his statement was incomplete
and incorrect, I have received a
message from Mr. Savage saying the
full report of what I said removes
misunderstanding and makes clear
that my answer was in accordance
with the facts."
10,489 REGISTERED IN
RECREATIONAL CLASSES
VICTORIA, April 14 (CP)-Regis-
trations in the provincial recreational and physical training classes in
British Columbia have increased
from 2,768 to 10,489 in the past two
years with the number of centres
operating increased from 19 to 58,
according to the annual report issued today by Ian Eisenhardt, director.
"When we realize that the cost
per head was only $2.86 for a period
of eight months—hardly more than
the average golfer's expenditure
per week—then we can understand
better the immensity of the work
which is being carried out at such
a low cost," Eisenhardt said. "With
better facilities we could handle
twice as many people in the same
district."

MARCUS MARTIN FIGHTS CHARGE
BEING IN GAMING ROOM BUT LOSES
Bases Plea on Fact Th[at He Was Not Playing
Game of Chance; Magistrate Brown
Finds Him Guilty; Fined $30
Marcus Martin, the only one to
plead not guilty out of nearly 60
so far, as a consequence of last Saturday's raid on four cigar stores,
had his day in court yesterday,
when he stoutly fought the charge
that he had been "found without
lawful excuse in a common gaming
house ... to which persons did resort for playing games of chance,"
but it did him little good. The net
result was that after a trial lasting
three hours, in police court, he was
found guilty by Magistrate William
Brown, and fined $30, with the alternative of a month in jail. He paid
the fine.
Earlier in the week some 25 others who were participating in games
were fined $25 each, while an equal
number who were present but not
playing got off with fines of $5
each. At his previous appearance,
Mr. Martin claimed the game he was
playing being solo, was not a game
of chance, but the court ruled that
he had to plead to the charge as it
read, and so his plea was entered
as "not guilty."
At his trial, it was explained to
Martin that he was not charged
with playing games of chance, but
merely with being found in the gaming house It was his contention,
however, that in effect he was
charged with playing games of
chance, and he conducted his defence on that line.
HOU8E 8AY8 MARTIN
HAD CARDS
Constable Richard House of the
city police, first witness, described
the search made of Bush's cigar
store in compliance with a court
order. Whe he entered, Martin was
sitting in No. 4 position at table No.
2. Chips and cards were on the table
in front of Martin's partners, but not
in front of Martin. All had cards in
their hands and on the table. House
asserted the table was a round one,
with a felt covering, and had a
drawer underneath in which chips
and money could be held.
When the table was brought into
the courtroom to satisfy Martin
there was a drawer in it, the drawer
could not be found, but the officer
maintained the drawer had been in
the table the night of the raid.
House further testified that when
he entered the room, Martin had
cards in his hand, and on the table.
There were 19 men in the room'* besides the two police officers who
preceded himself Into the room.
There was a doorway but no door
between the cigar store proper and
the back room.
In Martin's cross-examination of
House, the latter was asked if he
could swear Martin had gone to the
cigar store for the purpose ot playing '"games of chance, to wit, poker.' House answered he could not,
and that he did not actually see
Martin playing a game of any kind.
Dr. David C. Cowen
DENTIST
Jamieson  Building
SPOKANE, WASH.
An examination of an envelope in
which Martin's cards had been placed when the raid occurred revealed
14 cards. Martin asked what he
would be doing with 14 cards if he
was playing poker.
When Martin asked what constituted a disorderly house, Magistrate
Brown answered that a man with
two eyes and two ears who entered
a room where games of chance were
being played should know something of what was going on.
BARWIS
DESCRIBES RAID
Corporal C. W. A. Barwis of the
provincial police testified he entered
the building with Constable House.
There were four tables in the room,
19 men and 27 chairs. Seven mtn
were at table No. 1, right at the
doorway; four at table No. 2, one
of which was Martin; six at table
No. 3, and two standing watching.
Card games were being played at
three of the four tables, and cards
and chips were on the three. He ordered all men in the place to throw
their cards on the tables, sit back
and touch nothing. He heard Constable House taking the names of
the men at table No. 2, but as he
paid no special attention to table
Nos. 1 and 3, he had not noticed
much conversation between House
and the men.
Barwis stated it was evident the
room was being used for playing
games of chance, as there was no
paraphernalia for anything else.
There was nothing to prevent Martin's seeing what was going on at
the other tables, as the tables were
almost touching in the comparatively small room.
When Martin cross-examined him
the corporal admitted Martin's back
was "more or less" turned to the
other tables, and something could
have happened so that Martin could
not see what was happening.
At this junction the court was adjourned to 2 p.m.
When it resumed C. B. Garland,
prosecuting for the city, explained
the charge against Martin, and said
he was not charged with playing
poker. Ignorance of the law was
no excuse for frequenting gaming
houses, he said.
ASKS CONSIDERATION
Martin, in addressing the court
asked the court to realize the handicap under which he was acting, as
he had never before been tried in
court He stated there had been
no definite evidence given that he
had been playing games of chance
when the raid occurred. He presented three discrepancies in Constable
House's evidence which he labellej
as contradictory statements. He
stated House had said that Martin
had cards in his hands when ne
entered, and l:i(cr said the cards
were on the table. Next, House had
said he had received the cards from
Martin's hand. Also the table which
House had said was covered with
a felt covering, was covered with
oil-cloth, as seen in court.
In giving judgment, Magistrate
Brown said that evidence produced
brought the case within the charge.
Discrepancies in House's evidence
were small, he said, and he found
the accused guilty. I
Propose Increase
Lendable Funds
of U.S. Banks
WASHINGTON, April 14 (AP) -
President Roosevelt proposed today
an increase af about $2,150,000,000 in
the lendable funds of the banks in
the United States — the theoretical
basis for a $21,500,000,000 expansion
in private credit.
Putting his recommendation Into
effect will boost to a record high ot
about $3,730,000,000 the lendable resources of the banks. Theoretically,
every dollar of lendable money can
produce $10 of ultimate credit because every time the money is loaned part of it flows back to the banks
and can be loaned again,
The president sought the increase
by ordering release or "desteriliza-
tion" of $1,400,000,000 of idle treasury gold and by announcing the
federal reserve board would reduce
reserve requirements of banks by
approximately $750,000,000. The
present excess reserves of the banks
total $1,580,000,000.
Gold will swell the excess reserves — which constitute the lendable funds of banks — indirectly.
The treasury will put the gold to
work by using it as the basis for
issuing an equivalent amount of
gold certificate currency with which
it can get a spendable deposit credit
at the federal reserve banks.
As the treasury disburses the
money to the public for relief and
other purposes, the public — either
the direct recipients or the merchants with whom they spend it
will put the money in the banks, and
the banks then will have it avail
able for loans to business men or
others.

"We are both very fond of Canada," he said, "and never miss an

EASTER PARADE TO BE MOST FEMIMNE "IN "MANY YEARS
{treatment Good...
Institution Is
Best Plate lor
the Mentally III
By GARRY C. MYERS, PH. D.
Ever so many parents write me
,:to name a private .institution where
H child or adult who Is mentally
■handicapped or mentally sick can
have proper care and treatment,
and they usually say they have iit-
;lle, or no money to pay for such
service. There are good private.institutions for such cases. The advantage of a private institution
may be that it can give more individual care to the patient, and can
provide the. services of more expert treatment. But such services
must be costly.
, And whlle__I _would_nOt discount
the fine services oi the private institution, I think it is unfortunate
that so many persons take the attitude they do toward the state institution. The patient there who ls
mentally sick or feeble minded is
so much better off, as a rule, than
he can be in the best sort of home.
Usually he has better physical care
and is happier in the institution
than at home.
But the biggest argument for the
institution is for the relief and protection of the patient's famfty. If
the mental illness is such as to be
recommended by the doctor or specialists as an institution case, the
lives of the family and the neighbors may be in danger of the patient so diagnosed, in case he remains in the home.
BURDEN TO FAMILY
While mentally handicapped children may not be so hard to manage in the home, they, especially
girls, on reaching adolescence, may
become moral hazards to the community. But the burden to the
family of the low grade feeble
minded child! If there are other
children they must sulfer all sorts
of_ ..enjba.traisp)en.t, eyen neglect.

Her, Says Woman
By VIRGINIA LEE,
If you read a book about life in
the middle ages—the dafrk ages, as
they are called — ydu'wonder how
anyone lived to grow .old, so unhygienic were the conditions.
Many of the diseases that ravished
and disfigured people then have
been almost stamped out. because
of our knowledge of sanitation, and
many more are coming under control. Most of us know and practice
the rules of hygiene.' But it. is easy
to get into careless habits that shock
us when they are called to our attention. So many men I see spitting around the streets. They Seem
to start when they are small boys,
trying to act grown up. But if men
stopped to think how many germs
that may be in their mouths and
throats may be dried - and blown
about by the wind to infect other
people, I am sure most of them, at
least, would stop the habit.       :• **
ORDINANCES NOT
ENFORCED
Cities have anti-spitting ordinances, but they are not enforced.
I have even seen, women expectorate in the gutter or on the sidewalk. I feel it is a beastly* habit,
and those who do it would agree
with me if they thought about it..
A woman has a problem along
this line upon which she wants, my
advice. An old man in her family
spits in the kitchen sink in -the
stove, when they are-cooking, on
the stairs, in the scrap bucket. He
seems to have catarrh, or perhaps,
she suggests, he smokes too much.
At any rate, the woman who writes
me, says it makes her. ill. We can
quite understand it would. It made
me feel queer just to read it. She
has talked about sanitation in. his
presence, she writes, but it hasn't
done any good.
It's just a very bad, thoughtless
habit of an otherwise fine person,
I presume. I don't wonder you
dislike it exceedingly. You might
be able to ridicule him out of it by
pretending to be afraid he was
going to expectoraie into something
that he would not dream of doing.
He may be the type that you could
break of the habit in this way, and
he might not.
At any rate, try to be as affectionate and appreciative of all his
good points as you can, showing
him that you like him and are
proud of him. Gradually it may
be that he will grow to "ivSht to
please you so much that he will
break himself of the habit, I certainly hope so. If you cannot help
him in this way, I'm afraid you will
just have to bear it until you no
longer have lo live with him.
Navy with color is the most popular of the spring suits, say the
shops. The navy may be trimmed

Iced consomme, in delicate gold-
lined china, followed the melon
balls at the luncheon table.on.the
terrace, high above the city. Then
there were creamed sweet breads,
and a crisp,-cold, salad,with,long
cheese wafers and frosted glasses of
fruit juices.
Barbara, hearing -her- voice send
ing words spinning across the wide
terrace, knew that two months be-
fore she would have been, happy
just to be here. But now her mind
could focus on nothing but the
cable that Ruth Merryweather had
received from Garry Page.
What could it mean? Ruth had
accepted it so casually.. W.as that
because it mattered so little or so
much? One could never tell.
But Ruth. .herself.. brought.. up
the subject pretty soon.'"Mind if
I see what Garry said?" She slit
open the envelope.        - ■
She laughed and the notes were
rich and throaty. "Garry is a dear.
He didn't have to cable. A note
would have done. But it's something
I'm eager to know about, you see."
She read and her face sobered. The
cloud deepened iri her eyes^' She
put the cable down, and the words
sprang up to meet Barbara's eyes.
"Impossible to obtain an immediate
berth."
Ruth explained, as though she
wanted to talk to somebody. "A

Ruth talked.on, "It's so heavenly
to have Garry on Whom to rely. I
don't know what I'd do without him.
He's an oasis In the midst of turmoil. I can't imagine getting along

Label Roses So You Will Know Them
There are many reasons why you
will want to have your new roses
labeled. First, the tags are a means
of checking to see if the nursery
man has sent the roses ordered. Second, if you should decide to move
certain varieties of the roses after
the foliage has fallen, the tags are
a moans of identification. And,
third, there is the satisfaction of
knowing the names of the roses you
have, and in a large rose bed of
many varieties this is difficult unless each rose is tagged.
Figue 1 of this Garden-Graph
shows the rose bush as received
from a nursery, with the name tag
wired to a stock. This label should
be removed as soon as the rose
bush is planted, otherwise it will
eventually kill the branch by choking it or by cutting the bark as the
branch is whipped about by the
wind.
Figure 2 shows a simple method
of labeling roses by attaching the
name tag to the "eye* ot a wire
stake which can be stuck in the
ground close to the plant,   ...  '■■

Garry and I decided to grow ac-

was Bill Jameson. Was Ruth turning
now to Garry?
She thanked the girl for.the luncheon and went back to Natalie.
She had packing to do for tonight
she was moving but. One thing she
must do. She must starid at the door
of her living room and order every,
ghost of Garry out. .The one. from
the biggest chair, the one that put
logs on trie fire, the one that watched her broil a steak. Then she would
not be lonely for someone who
never even had entered the rooms.

any more, except stories for very
little chjldren.

she asked for the key and mail at
the desk. The attendant smiled.
"A ca*ble for you; Miss Kingsley."
"For me?"
"Sign here, please."
- She- carried it upstairs, locked
the door of her bedroom, and opened it. Five words laughed up at her.
"How .are you doing? Garry." A
simple sentence, impersonal as rain
and yet as intimate as—as two
o'clock, in. the morning.in a-cab
in Central park.
"Oh, I'm doing fine, fine now,
Garry!" she answered, "But what
about you? Oh, Garry, Garry, may-
be you have a girl but I'm not so
sure, after all!"
She began her new job and came
home each evening, tired but happy,
because. the work was good and
she was catching on so easily.
Then, one evening, Marie Rinehart
Jameson telephoned her.
"Barbara? I've menat to look you
up ever since the night we met but
you know how time goes. Did you
know—but how silly of me, of
course you do—that Julia will be
here Monday? I'm having a dinner
on the Marine Roof and of course
I want you. It's Thursday night."
Barbara heard her, voice saying
sweetly, "How lovely, Marie. But
Thursday is a bad night. We close
up the book that day and I may
be still in a dither with cut-lines
and-copy at nine o'clock," --
"Come when you're , through,

"You are moving?"
"To England. Isn't - It 'glorious?
We'll be close to Paris and. gaiety."
"Then Bill is changing jobs?" -
"Well, it's almost certajh. A friend
of his has some pull and it's being
arranged.'"
Barbara hung up and sat at the
telephone table for a moment. Ruth
was the friend with the 'pull and
the pull wasn't working, but Marie
did not know that. So this explained Garry's cable and it threw a
little light on Ruth's dependence on
Garry.
While she sat 4here musing, the
telephone rang again. It was Ruth
who answered her "Yes?"
"I was thinking about you." Barbara admitted.
"I hope it was something fitting.
Only what could be called fitting?
Barbara, I want*to ask you an outrageous favor."
"That sounds fascinating. Ask

VERDICT NOT AGAINST CHAMBERLAIN
Interpretations of the byelection victory of the British Labor party that see in it a national rebuke for the
British prime minister are regarded as extremely exaggerated and foolish, by the Toronto Globe and Mail, At best,
I the verdict was a local one, it claims, and contributed to
by many factors. The Toronto daily sees nothing but
trouble for the British Labor party if it continues to oppose
at every turn the efforts of Chamberlain to work out a
solution for British and European problems short of challenging war.
The Toronto paper's full comment is as follows:
"The West Fulham by-election will give Prime Minister Chamberlain's Labor opponents a day in the sun-
but only a day. If momentarily embarrassing, the government's loss of the seat is not nearly so indicative of where
public opinion stands on the foreign policy issue as the
opposition seeks to make out. By-elections are often used
as national testing grounds, but it is only at infrequent
■ intervals that they can be said to* mirror the mass mind.
" From the make-up of the constituency and on its political
history, West Fulham is by no means one of these.
"For the mbst part the eligible voters are small wage-
earners, office workers, clerks, hairdressers' assistants,
waiters, taxi drivers. For the past two decades they have
consistently followed the policy of sharing their loyalty.
:■ In 1920 the constituency went Labor, At the next election
.(1924) it was won by the Conservative with a majority of
5400. It reversed itself in 1929, going Labor by a margin
of 2200. Sir Cyril Cobb recaptured it for the Conservatives
in a by-election the next year by a bare 240 votes. In the
National election of 1931 he repeated, and on the issue of-
"domestic collapse" ran up a majority of 12,000. In 1935
he was re-elected, but his majority was cut to 3400.
On the strength of this it was Labor's turn. But there
are other factors to Wednesday's vote which shadow its
claim to victory on foreign policy. The vote was signifi-
| cantly light in consideration of the issue and in comparison
j  with the records. It was, in fact, the smallest vote, including
the. by-election of 1930, polled in West Fulham since 1924,
for which year there are no available figures. A psycho-
' * logical influence not to be discounted is the fact that more
'   than 57 per cent of eligible voters are women, and Labor
was running the first woman candidate ever to contest the
seat, the well-known Dr. Edith Summerskill.
"Guided only by these local influences, it is possible to
conclude that the Conservative strategists were out-foxed,
■ * and erred in placing all their emphasis on the 'vital' issue
of showing united support for the government. Dr. Summerskill made it the challenge, but not the sole issue. She
played heavily on the 'rising cost of living,' the danger of
increases in rents, and other 'cash considerations' which
to persons on $10 and $15 a week incomes transcend most
vital issues.
"When conditioned to such circumstances the Fulham
| victory was more local than national. And when it is considered alongside the Labor party's rout in the house- of
commons on Monday its importance shrinks perceptibly.
Indeed from one view the opposition was more in need of
the victory than the government. The vote in the house rejecting its demand for an election by no means ignored
public opinion. It showed more clearly than any taken since
the resignation of Foreign Secretary Eden the extent to
which opinion had crystallized behind the prime minister.
"Failing to deflect one vote from the government,
Labor's attack on foreign policy has become .something of
a boomerang. Whatever reading one gives to West Fulham, it has been unable to substantiate any of its charges.
Its attempts to prove the weakness and dangers of the
' policy have only served to emphasize that it is without a
policy of its own. Instead of splitting the government,
which was the main objective of the attack, Labor has itself suffered desertions. At least three followers in the
house of lords have quit the party and there is anything
but unanimity in the ranks outside the house of commons.
"It is more than likely that the worst blow to the
Labor case is yet to come. Negotiations with Italy are
moving to an agreement which, according to all authoritative speculation, will be reached without any of the
'sacrifices' the opposition feared most and condemned loudest, While no one would attempt to assess the value of this
agreement to peace in Europe this early, its accomplishment should bring what Mr. Chamberlain needs most at
the** moment—the time in which to plan against the future."

There are some faults so nearly allied to excellence,
that we can scarce weed out the vice loithout eradicating
the virtue.—Goldsmith.
REASONS AGAINST GETTING GLOOMY
A. L. Jackson in an article in Printers Ink says of
United States conditions that on the surface business sentiment is pessimistic—and yet, if we probe beneath the
gloom, we find many fundamental factors that give a
strong foundation for optimism.
Mr. Jackson discusses five specific and encouraging
facts that point the way to recovery:
- (1) The correction of last year's over supply. (2) The
correction of commodity price maladjustment. (3) While
purchasing power declined, the reaction has not been so
pronounced as the decline in production schedules. (4) Re-
taiNemand has held up. (5) Purchasing'power during
February and March has increased.
Seems sensible. Canada's position is very much stronger, tyootenay's stronger still.

The bidding on this deal started
with East, who bid 1-Heart, South
overcalled with 1-Spade, West
passed and North bid 2-Spades.
South took this to three and North
to 4-Spades.
When the' heart A was led, the
leclarer took time out to decide
how he would go about making the
contract and after due deliberation
played the. 6 from dummy and the
diamond 4 from his own hand.
When he attempted to take the
trick, his opponents called to his
attention the tact that spades were
trump, not diamonds.
When this matter waa cleared up,
East led a spade. This lead out of
turn brought South back to life and
he discovered ho now had a good
chance tor game. He called for a
heart lead. West played the 2,
dummy the 9, East the 10 and
South ruffed. The spade Q was
next cashed; followed by the spade
K. The heart 8 was led, East covered with the Q and South ruffed.
The spade A was played and the
two high hearts cashed, on which
South discarded a club and a diamond. When a diamond was now
led, East played the 10 and South
the K. The diamond J now threw
East In the lead with the A, and
East was obliged to lead a club.

Would Prefer
Dependable Peaches
Endorsement of the new "Select"
peach grade by the grades committee of the B.C.F.G.A. is a step in
the right direction. Crying need on
the prairie market today is a peach
that can be depended upon. Experiences with Okanagan peaches
during the past few years has somewhat soured the trade because of
the rubbish which has been allowed to flood the market,—Penticton Herald.
The Dictators
and Christianity
Can moral or religious considerations stop wars today? The answer
is unequivocal. Germany condemns
any force, whether moral, ethical,
or religious, which might seem to
threaten the absolute domination
the government exercises over its
people. Thus anti-Semitism is advocated to such a degree that Nazi
doctrines brand Christianity as poisoned because It has its roots in
Judaism.
In Italy the government is on excellent terms with the Vatican. But
would-religious consideration stand
in the way of a decision of war?
Last October, in his official organ
II Popolo d'ltalia; Mussolini had
this to say regarding British pro
tests against the massacre of women
and children on the open streets of
Chinese cities: "We congratulate
Japan on it's 'elan vital.' We understand perfectly the spirit that animates Japan, and we find it justifiable. The cries of the pusillanimous and the sermons of the church
make us laugh or nauseate us, as
the cause may be. — Conferencia,

The men broke rank, cheered,
threw their hats in teh air, and the
general pandemonium reigned for
nearly five minutes. When order
had been restored, the Colonel,
pleased with the enthusiastic reception of his announcement and
the congratulations, indicated that
he had another announcement,
"Men and officers," he cleared
his throat, "I thank you." —From

Right you are, Easter on April 17
is late this year but it might be
eight days later and on various
occasions in the present generation
has gone the limit in lingering in
the lap of spring. This movable
feast has a wide spread for its wanderings—anytime from March 22 to
April 25.
Nowadays, the annual festival
observed throughout Christendom
to commemorate the resurrection
of Jesus Christ is marked on the
Gregorian calendar for the first
Sunday after the full moon following the vernal equinox—when the
sun crosses the equator on its way
north in the spring.
NO PAGANISM
Unlike some Christen festivals
there Is no taint of paganism In
Easter's origin but the controversy over the date of celebration
Is as old as Christianity Itself.
For many centuries the so-called
eastern churches argued with the
western on this questions. The
council of Nlcaea in A.D. 326 tried
to settle It but the vagaries of
the sun and moon thwarted the
well-intentioned efforts of the ecclesiastics by appearing at varied
times In different longitudes.
Corrections to the Gregorian calendar in 1582 smoothed matters to
some extent but ii! was not until
1752 that Great Britain and Ireland
and British possessions got into step
with other nations for Easter. Some
of the eastern churches still ignore
the Gregorian calendar in this respect and their Easter may fall
cither before or after the date kept
by the majority ot Christian countries.
IN CALENDAR REFORM
There'* is a modern trend to the
controversy over the data ot Easter
in the effect of its mobility on the
case for calendar reform. Sponsors
of the proposed "world calendar"— ,
all years alike and all quarters
equal—point to the movabilitjr of
Easter as one of the grave defects
of the present set-up of dates.
"As a result, school and college
heads have sizeable—and recurrent
vacation problems," writes Jane
Corby in the Journal of Calendar
Reform. "Women are equally affected with men, on all these
counts, ot course, but they also
have a more personal Interest in
the vagaries of the calendar. Grave
losses are laid to the calendar, just
on Easter's'account. If it's too early
people go on wearing their winter
clothes and buy no spring togs; if
it's very late, everybody thinks it's
too late to bother about spring
clothes anyway."
Promoters of the new calandar
would spot Easter on some Sunday
In  March  or April—stabilise  It
through a conference of Christian
denominations.
While the origin and object ot
Easter is strictly Christian the name
itself, also the German designation
"Ostern" like the days of the week,
is thought to be derived from the
feast of tlje Teutonic goddess "Eos-
tre" or "Ostera" worshipped by
Saxons of past centuries as the
divinity of spring. Names of the
days of the week were taken from
the same Teutonic mythology.

Hockey Figures
an Argument for
New Trail Rlnk
TRAIL, B. C, April 13-A review
of attendance statistics in the six
cities In the West Kootenay Hockey
league during the past season points
to one inescapable conclusion—that
Trail sorely needs a new skating
rink to accommodate Its hockey
crowds.
Lethbridge, with an urban and
adjacent rural population of approximately 15,000, drew an attendance of 33,500 cash customers to 13
league games during the 1937-38
season. In Trail, with an urban and
suburban population of over 12,-
000 only 19,989 were willing to endure the discomforts of an overcrowded rink to see 15 games.
According to figures supplied by
J. A. Wadsworth, secretary of British Columbia Amateur Hockey association, Lethbridge Maple Leafs
played to the largest crowds in the
loop with Trail Smoke Eaters next
in line. Nelson, where 13 league
games were played, was third with
11,683 spectators. Kimberley fans
turned out 13,438 strong to 14 loop
fixtures. In Coleman, with Lethbridge a newcomer to the West Kootenay circuit this season, 12 games
were attended by 7416 spectators.
An equal number of loop tussles
drew 3000 customers in Rossland.
Smoke   Eaters * were   the   most

crowd pleasing club In the circuit,
according to the statistics. They set
a record as the biggest drawing
card for any one game in Kimberley,
Lethbridge and Nelson. They made
a aeason mark In Lethbridge when
an outpouring of 3087 paying customers Jammed the renovated arena
on the Trail team's lint appearance. Smoke Eaters played before
2328 spectators In their last showing In the Nelson civic centre arena,
and were popular favorites in Kimberley, where the attendance was
1656 at their opening game against
Dynamiters.
During the season 92,076 specta.
tors paid to see 79 games, an average of 1165 per game. Of these, 78,-
725 were adults and 13,351 children.
The game found Its greatest support
among Junior fans in Lethbridge,
where 5400 paid to see games during
the season. Trail boyB and girls had
a slight edge on Kimberley with
2402 attending against 2350 In the
ebneentrator town.

Cornwall RIghl-Winger in Hospital;
Coach Says He Was Cross-Checked on
Head and Butt-Ended In the Stomach
Dick Kowcinak Severely Bruised on Chest in
Crash With 212-Pound Flyer Rear-Guard,
But Piper Says He'll Play Tomorrow
SASKATOON, April 14 (CP)-
Cornwall Flyers' Allan cup stock
sank lower today as word came out
of the eastern Canada champions'
camp that Harvey McClelland, hard
shooting right winger, was in hospital.
Coach Don Pennlston reported
McClelland was cross-checked over
the head and butt-ended in the
stomach In the series opener last
night when Trail Smoke Eaters
came from behind in the third period and won 6-4 in overtime.
The burly Cornwall coach said he
did not know whether the first
string forward would be able to
start in the second game of the
best-of-five series at Calgary Saturday.'But an attending physician
stated there was a good chance that
McClelland would play.
The textile town outfit had a
light skating practice today but
Smoke Eaters rested before their
departure tonight for Calgary.
The "third period" pucktters from
the Rocky mountains never work
out the day after a game.
CORNWALL TO
ARRIVE SATURDAY
The Cornwall board of stratgey
has decided to lay over in Saskatoon until Friday night, hoping to
arrive in Calgary late enough Saturday that any possible reaction
from the change of altitude will not
set in until after the game that
night. They figure they will be acclimatized for the third contest
Monday.
All Smoke Eaten were In top
•hape except Dlok Kowolnak, diminutive left winger who scored
what proved to be the winning
goal last night on a pretty solo
rush In overtime.
The former member of the 1937
Dominion Champion Winnipeg
Monarch juniors staggered off the
ice in the second period after big
Milke McMahon, Flyers' 212-pound
rearguard, caught him squarely.
Kowcinak rallied enough to count
the winning goal but after the game
it was found he had been bruised
severely across the chest. Coach
Elmer Piper said he would be playing Saturday.
Pennistor figured the officiating
was a "little lax" last night but
added he was "all right".
"We lost that game ourselves,"
the coach added. "We'll have to do
a little better."
No definite announcement has
been made but It wai expeoted
"Army" Armstrong of Oshawa,
Ont., and Pete Sande of Calgary
would be the referees for the second encounter.
Fear Adding Machine Necessary If Kootenay
Boys Can Get Around to Playing Hockey
in First Two Periods of a Game
SCRIBE SAYS SCODELLARO LOOKED BAD
ON 2 GOALS; FLYERS GOALIE ON TOES
By LORNE BRUCE
Canadian Press Staff Writer
SASKATOON, April 14 (CP)—If Trail Smoke Eaters can ever git
around again to playing hockey In the first two periods of a game,
scorekeepers probably will need an adding machine but the fans will
mlu the thrills of their dynamic finishes.
Thi "comeback" boys did everything wrong hire last night In
the first and second sessions of the Allan cup finals Inaugural garni
and then broke loose.
Three goals in the third stanza earned a 3-3 tie and another trio in
10 minutes of overtime brought a 6-4 victory over Cornwall Flyers.
Smoke Eaters' stretch rally installed them as favorites for the second
A game of the best of five series at
Calgary Saturday.
Joe Benoit and DaVe Duchak with
two each, Bunny Dame and Dick
Kowcinak were the Trail marksmen.
PERRAS DELAYED
VICTORY
The British Columbians might
have won In regular time but for
fine work of Floyd Perras in the
Cornwall nets. He stopped 31 shots.
Three of them, in the last minute
of regular time, off Benoit's stick
looked like sure goals. He had no
chance on the six that beat him.
At the other end Duke Scodellaro looked bad on Cornwall's
second and third period goals. He
failed to play thi two anglo shots
eorroctly.
Harvey McClelland, Flyer right
winger, was Just about parallel with
the goal oh the right boards in the
second period when he fired a high
shot that Scodellaro never saw as it
went inside and caught an upper
corner on the other side.
In the third Conny Brown raced
in from the left side after taking a
pass from big Mike McMahon and
the Trail netminder failed to get
near his low hard shot.
Other goals for the eastern Canada champions were counted by Ab
MacDonald in the first and Dick
Proulx in overtime.
FANS OUT OF SEATS
Coach Elmer Piper's streamlined
brand of hockey with its intricate
passing looked ineffective for two
periods against the tight defence-
quick break style shown by the
orthodox Ontario outfit but when
the plays began to click In the third
period and overtime, they had the
5600 fans out of their seats most of
the time.

Hard-Fighting Cornwall Boys Wonder How It
Happened as Trailites Pound Each Other;
'.One Up, Two to Go/ Cries Kowcinak
8ASKATOON, S»k„ April 14 (CP)—There wasn't much talking
In either drilling room for several minutes aftir Trail Smoke Eaters
and Cornwall Flyeri finished 10 minutes of overtime hire last night
In the first game of the Allan cup hockey finals.
Thi British Columbia champions wire too happy after coming
from behind to difeat tha eaitermri 6-4, and too busy pounding tach
other on the hiad and shoulders. The Hard-fighting Flyers were
wondering, how they lit that two-goal lead slip away In the third
period.
"Well, you fellows had ma
icarad for a while," sold Elmer
Piper, soft-spoken Trail coach, as
hli chargei stopped their pummelling and began to undress.
"But, boy, what a comeback,"
"One up and two to go," shouted
Dick Kowcinak, bushy-haired left
winger who scored lone handed and
got an assist in overtime.
Don Penniston, Cornwall's hefty
coach who has instilled some of his
own "fight" into Flyers, moaned
"We threw that away ourselves.
Now we got to win the hard way."
Emphasizing he wasn't offering
any alibis, Pennlston laid his
players found It hard to breathe
during thi game and seemed to
hi "filled up around thi chest."

OSHAWA GENERALS IN UPSET WIN
BY MOVER ST. BONIFACE SEALS
TORONTO, April 14 (CP)-Osh-
awa's unpredictable Generals set
the experts back off their heels tonight when they defeated St. Boniface Seals 4-2 in the third game
of the Memorial cup hockey series.
Entering the game on the short
end of 2-1 odds, the eastern champions, inspired by the sensational
work ot Bob Forster, were never
behind after they opened the scoring
early in the second period.
The Manitobans came back to
tie the score shortly after that but
failed to match a three goal splurge
in the final frame.
Showing a decided reversal of
form from Tuesday night's game,
which they dropped 4-0, Ihe gallant
Generals won because they were
there in the pinches.
Outshot and  oubkated by  the
speedy Seals, Oshawa hung on grimly, making the most o£ their scoring
chances.
For sustained speed and spectacular play, the game eclipsed any of
the two previous contests and the
crowd of 7706 never once stopped its
clamor.

CALGARY, April 14 (CP)-Mer-
vyn (Red) Dutton, manager of the
New York Americans In the National Hockey league, returned to
his Calgary home from the hockey
wars today and announced he was
prepared to talk player deals with
any clubs.
Dutton said he was going to bring
"new blood" into the ranks of the
Americans next season.
"I am going to bring up some
young players," he said.
"Pat Egan, a Calgary boy, who
played with Sudbury last season,
will be with the club and Joe
Benoit, former Edmonton Junior
now with the Trail Smoke Eaters,
will be given a trial. We need a
right winger and I consider he is
the player." Pat Egan was formerly
with the Nelson, B.C., team.
He also plans to obtain Wilf
Fields, a Seattle defenceman and a
"forward by the name of Thompson
who was with one of the Regina
clubs the past season".
Dutton had no announcement to
make on the reported deal which
would send Nels Stewart and "Hool-
ey" Smith to the Montreal Maroons.
Commenting on the Stanley cup
series he said the Americans got a
"bad break".
"Had our team been allowed that
goal scored In Chicago with less
than five minutes left to play the
club would have been in the finals
against Toronto Maple Leafs. There
was nothing wrong with the goal."
Another Decision
for Packy Paul
LONDON, April 14 (CP Cable)-
Packy Paul, heavyweight from
Richdale, Alta., tonight took a decision on points over Len Rowlands
of London in an eight-round boxing
match.
REMEMBER WHEN?
By thi Canadian Press
Tommy Farr, rock-Jawed battler
from Wales, punched out a 12-round
decision over Max Baer at London
one year ago tonight and rocketed
into the forefront of world's heavyweight championship contendera.
Defeated by Joe Louis and Jimmy
Braddock, Farr recently dropped a
sizzling 15-round verdict to Baer.
Dudas Hopes lo Outbox Schmeling
in Hamburg Tune-Up Fight Saturday
HAMBURG, Germany, April 14—
(CP)—Steve Dudas, veteran heavyweights from Edgewater, N.J., said
today he would rely on his boxing
ability rather than punching power
when he meets Max Schmeling over
the 15-round route here Saturday
night.
The bout was arranged as a final
"tuneup" for Schmeling before he
meets Joe Louis, June 22, in the
United States for the World heavyweight title.
Schmelihg, firm in the belief he
will defeat Dudas—and he ls far
from being alone in that belief-
plans to leave immediately after the
Dudas bout to train for Louis in tha
United States.
German writers hava been Impressed with the American's showing. They regard him as the strongest rival Schmeling will face in the
series of "tuneups", the last of which
was a decision over Ben Foord. Although the schlaeger won that one
by a wide margin, the result was a
disappointment to most German experts, who had looked for a knockout.
In addition to the main event,
there is a good deal of interest in
the semi-final, a 12-rounder between
Walter Neusel, Germany's No. 2
heavyweight, and Foord.

LONDON, April 14 (CP Cable)-
Easter holidays—Testing time for
England's footballers — will see
league teams in action three times
in four days. All but 10 of the
teams in the league's four divisions
start the gruelling program tomorrow, idle clubs completing the schedule with matches on Easter Tuesday Good Friday and Easter Monday finds the same clubs in oppo
sition, home and away games being carded. The series will go a
long way towards deciding promotion and relegation struggles although in some divisions it appears
likely these will not be cleared up
until the last matches of the season
May 7.
Arsenal's three-point margin at
the top of the first division looks
big as top-notch squads start the
closing drive for the championship.
The Gunners meet strong opponents in Brentford and Birmingham,
but their supporters are counting on
coolness and experience to carry the
Londoners to the champibnship.
Drake, veteran centre-forward, returns to Arsenal's team for the home
match against Brentford tomorrow.
Hapgood, Copping and Bastin who
played for England last Saturday
will also be in the lineup.
THREE BRACKETED
A8 RUNNERS-UP
Bracketed in the runner-up position are Preston North End, Wolverhampton Wanderers and Middlesbrough while despite recent lapses, the young Wolves squad is looked upon as Arsenal's most dangerous rival.
Wanderers may take the points In
two games with Leicester City but
Saturday's home match with Preston, English cup finalist, should
prove one of the tightest of the
holiday series. Preston's other encounters are against Chelsea while
Middlesbrough clashes with Liverpool and Blackpool.
Any one of the last eight clubs
in the first division may find itself
in lower company next season.
Grimsby Town mired in the cellar
position will be forced to fight hard
for points against Portsmouth and
Leicester.
GOOD YEAR
FOR VILLANS
Aston Villa, second division leader, is enjoying the best financial
year in theclub's history. Last year's
profit of £8500 ($47,500) will prob-l
ably be exceeded, and directors announced Villa park will be enlarged
to accommodate 85,000 persons, 10,-
000 more than ita present capacity.
Villans, one point up on Manchester United, Sheffield United and
Coventry, are idle tomorrow. They
play Tottenham Hotspurs Saturday,
completing the schedule Monday
and Tuesday with Swansea Town.
In third division, southern section, fight for promotion is a hot
one, with Millwall and Queen's
Park Rangers out In front. Hull
City, Tranmere Rovers and Rotherham United are Joint leaders in the
northern loop.

which gave Mexico advance assurance of how much silver it could
sell the U. S. treasury each month.

SHIPPING OPENS
ON GREAT LAKES
TORONTO, April 14 (CP) -At a
slow tempo, perhaps the slowest in
yiars, shipping on the Great Lakes
opens officially tomorrow under
twin clouds of dark hue—a threatening strike of Canadian seamen on
150 vessels and the prospect of light
grain movement from the head of
Lake Superior.
Insurance rates on vessels go into
effect at midnight, but no rush by
steamship companies to send oui
fleets of freighters lpaded with
grain and iron ore, oil and package
freight was expected. For the most
part opening of navigation will be
delayed because of the Good Friday holiday.
Crews have been engaged foi
weeks at lake ports preparing vessels for the season. Some are loaded and ready to go ahd a few have
made short runs in the last two
weeks in the lower lakes.
N.Y. RALLIES
NLW YORK, April 14 (AP)-The
stock market rallied today, though
none too briskly, as the president's
icco'very program was handed to
congress.
Relatively apathetic upturn in response to what Wall Street generally viewed as "highly inflationary"
spending plans of the administration was attributed by brokerage
qu.-.rters to a variety of factors.
Among these were: There was no
particular element of surprise in
the white house anti-recession figures; most trading forces desired
to find out the attitude of the legislators toward the proposals, in addition to waiting for what the chief
executive had to say in his evening
"fireside chat" broadcast to the nation.
INCOME TAX, EXCISE
DUTIES SHOW CAINS

531 in the. fiscal year, an increase

duties, excise taxes and excise duties totalled $319,046,053, an increase
of $44,701,517 over the previous 12-
month period.

Thinks Mining .a
Wasting Industry
VANCOUVER. April 14 (CP)-
Dr. John F. Walker, deputy minister of mines for British Columbia,
thinks mining is a wasting industry
and neither it nor forestry or agriculture can bring any great population to British Columbia.
That is what he told a meeting of
Vancouver engineers last night.
But he thought cheap hydroelectric power available in British
Columbia favored the "artificial
fabrication" of industries—the only
way there will be any major industrial development in the province, since industrialization follows
population.
Discussing work of his department, Dr. Walker said he expected
an increase in gold production this
year over the 1937 figure, but that
zinc and lead production would
drop'. Total mineral production in
1938 would probably be about $67,-
000,000.

APPLEWHAITE
LIFE MEMBER
Presentation ot an honorary life
membership to E. H. Applewhaite
of Willow Point, one of the two surviving charter members of the Nelson board of trade, election ot a
new member, J, A. Stewart,' and
welcome to a recently-elected member, G. M. Williscroft, marked the
Nelson board of trade luncheon at
the Hume Thursday.
E. A. Mann, vice-president ot the
board, presented the life membership to Mr. Applewhaite, and with
it a framed photograph ot a Kootenay lake scene and a copy of the
board of trade booklet, "Nelson'and
the Kootenay". He was welcomed
by W. M. Bamford, president.
Expressing his appreciation, Mr.
Applewhaite told several incidents
of the early days and said the present board with its large membership and luncheon meetings was
greatly changed from the board of
the early days.
As illustrating the honesty of
early-day citizens he told how he
had once seen a $10 bill wrapped
around a door knob on an office
building, and how his companion
commented someone had probably
lost it and would be along later
looking for it Thla proved to ba
the.case, he said, the man who lost
it showing up shortly afterward.
At the annual meeting ot the board
In January the other survivl.-ig
charter member, T. A Mills, also
of Willow Point, was similarly honored.
FORWARD
RESOLUTIONS
Three resolutions recently approved by the council tor presentation to the annual meeting of the
Associated Boards of Trade of Eastern British Columbia at Trail in
June were passed and a fourth added, the last repeating a request for
action to prevent cattle wandering
at large on highways.
Presenting it, C. P. McHar"dy suggested all that would be necessary
would be to declare the highways
pound areas. This would remove the
onus'from car drivers to the owners
of fee cattle. H. M. Whimster declared such a resolution had been
passed by the Associated several
times but that no action had resulted. Mr. McHardy replied it might
be advisable to send a committee
to Victoria to present this and other
Associated Boards resolutions and
tb press them before the proper authorities.
The other resolutions urged the
enlargement Of Kokanee Glacier
park from 100 square miles to 335
square miles; asked for-adequately
financed and regulated immigration
from Britain to provide a larger
population; and called upon the
federal government to find a means
of terminating heavy losses under
the present railway system in Canada.

federal government against legislation before the house providing tor
"agreed cllarges" for freight and
"regulation of coastal and inter-
coastal services."
The correspondence was previously turned over to R, L. McBride,
chairman of the freight and transportation committee, for study.
Through W. G. C. Lanskail, secretary, Mr. McBride presented a report urging no action which would
bring turmoil or confusion in busi-
nes conditions. This might follow
disturbance of freight rates. He«urg-
ed that general stability should be
maintained.
R. D. Barnes, chairman of the
roads and bridges committee, stated the committee had received copies of a resolution being circulated
in rural areas by one of the branch
Liberal associations at Vancouver,
urging support of proposals for construction of a highway through British Columbia to Alaska. The committee had written to Hon. F. M.
MacPherson, minister of public
works, seeking information before
taking action,-he said.
C. F. McHardy stated the coast
resolution was going to farmers' institutes, women's institutes and individuals. He asserted Vancouver
promotion had "put over the P. G.
E. and the Big Bend Highway," and
he felt the entire interior of the
province should take action. The
board Indorsed his contention that
existing roads should be put into
good condition and missing links
completed before any highway to
Alaska was launched, and that action should be taken before support
for the proposal could gain momentum.
Suggesting the American government might be interested in the
highway and might contribute a
large sums to it, J. R. Hunter asserted British Columbia would nol
wish to "pass up' any of this money,
and would not approve the project
it it was to go through at the expense of other roads in the province.

"Confirming our conversation on
the occasion of a meeting of the
airport committee ot your -board
of trade . .,. we wish to sum up
herewith, our comment and recommendations relative to the proposal
to establish an airport at nelson.
"Your committee has given consideration to two sites on the waterfront at Nelson, either of which
would appear fo provide a suitable
location for a landing strip. The nature'ot-the sites is such that the
general direction of such a strip
'would be parallftl to the valley and
therefore in the direction of the prevailing winds. Each site is free from
obstacles, so that a landing surface
of- approximately 4000 feet could be
developed,at either, with the proper
clearance in the ratio ot 20-1 at
either, end.,' ■ \ ■ **"
"Asjwas stated, the minimum, requirements' for issuance of a liqence
would be the proysion of a surface
2200 feet by 400 feet, with the proper marking devices and wind indicator, and a the same time provision
Should be had for ultimate development . of not less than 3300 feet,
aftd-'-of* course,-.,as much 'greater
'length up to possibly 5000.feet, as
m»y be- possible- in^the/circdm'
stances. .
TEMPORARY LICENCE,
"On provision of a landing surface of the minimum dimensions as
described above, a temporary licence will be issued, by. this department: You will recall that it was
stated that the issuance'of a permanent licence would depend- upon
the provsion'of hangar, telephone
ahd refuelling facilities.
;"It. is -realised that the physical
difficulties in the way. of such development are not Inconsiderable.
It is recommended that you make
a complete survey of the situation
In-order to determine as-exactly as
possible the cost of development of
one or the other of these sites.
, "With reference to the question of
financial assistance . from - this department you are advised'tha the attitude of this department has been
taht provision of municipal airport
facilities is entirely the-> responsibility of the municipality concerned, an exception - being, made
in the case - of certain - municipalities on the transc'ahada * airways. If, as was suggested, you propose making application;to the,department for financial 'assistance,

one owners of cars, who had neglected to purchase licence plates

morning and were each; given, one
week's suspended sentence to allow

magistrate'pointed out the tact that
men were charged with obstructing traffic on the. streets and that
in all cases licence plates for the
current year were'not:on the cars,
"As this seems to be a community violation of no great crime, but
comes under a city bylaw charging
obstruction, I will give suspended
sentence in each case for one week.
You' must.reslisetthat ,st/eetsare

NO HOPE OF REUNION
LABOR ORGANIZATIONS
WASHINGTON, April 14 (AP) -
Decision ot the C. I. O. to form a
permanent' organization' apparently
locked the door today against any
reunion with,the A. F. L.
- The two embattled factions of organized labor, most observers agreed
wih prepare now for an intensified
rivalry overshadowing all previous
struggles.
John - L. Lewis, who has guided
the committee for industrial organization since its inception in 1933,
said his associaton would adopt a
new name, but the initials "C. I. O."
would bo retained. ,
