The French called thla secret work espionage ind sabotage. Beginning long before war actually threatened, French authorities are convinced, Nazi agents carried on—not only in Paris, but throughout France—a carefully- planned campaign, which came to a head when Invading German armies swept through the shattered remnants of French defence unit- Many French officer! ny they •fe sure there waa a gigantic spy ring operating inside the Franca As the Germani moved through Northern France toward the KSid'sh Channel in tha Westward push, British soldiers at Rennet received an order to load and evacuate a tralnbad of heavy - and light ammunition.

Urges Unlimited War Supplies for Nations WASHINGTON, Jan. IS (AP). -Summoning the United Stites to "Invoke the law of self-defence before lt is too late,". State Secretary Cordell Hull urged upon Congress today the enactment of legislation for unlimited supplies of war materials to Britain ahd other nations battling a "world movement of conquest.'' Hull testified before the House of Representatives Foreign Af- . fairs Committee In support of President Roosevelt's Lease-Lend Bill. He was the first witness and expressed belief it is "absolutely necessary" to the nation's defence. He also said that If the Atlantic Ocean fell "into German control" it would "offer little or ho assurance of security." "Were Britain defeated and were ihe to lose command ot tbe seas," he said, "Germany could easily crosi the Atlantic, especially the South Atlantic, unless we were ready and able to do what Britain is doing now." Hull also -took occasion to voice aome of- the strongest condemnation ot the expansionist policies ot Japan in the Far East which has been uttered by the administration. Among other things, he said Japan's new order would lead, economically, to "impoverishment" as invaded parte of the Orient, and, especially, to "destruction of personal liberties and the reduction of the conquered peoplei of the role ot Inferiors." Pointedly ha asserted that Germany, Japan and Italy had made unmistakably clear their Intention to "repudiate and destroy tha very foundation! of a civilized world order under law" and to conquer and establish "tyrannical rules over thalr victims." *• When Hull finished the itatement Committee Memben turned to questioning him and Representative Luther A Johnson (Dem., Texas) asked whether - a section. ot the President's Lease-Lend Bill -providing for repair of belligerent vessels, such as those of Britain, in U. S. | ports, violated Internationil Law. ,;:Nothing but a realistic view of current developments can be regarded as a sane view," Hull replied gravely. "The question,la whether in tha face of a universally-recognized movement of force to Invade and conquer, peaceful nations shall wait until the invader crosses their boundary lines — or whether they shall recognize that this Is a world movement of conquest and Invoke the law of self defence before It is too late."

Tor seven hours She waa unter almost constant attack ot enemy air squadrons. Forty to 50 German planei made the heaviest attack of the war upon a single British warship last Friday. They flung torpedoes at the tides of the-Illustrious and aimed 100,000 pounds ot high explosives at her flight deck in a desperate but unsuccessful attempt to put the Royal Navy's newest aircraft carrier under water. The German pilots, diving head on,, faced a terrific wall of gunfire. They splattered the decks of the aircraft carrier with machine- gun bullets and dropped scores of bombs to port and to starboard of the ship, shaking the vessel from end to end. The German pilots dived so low that the markings could be easily seen on their big Junkers planes. They dropped bombs all around the deck. Bomb splinters flew about the bridge and the rest ot the carrier like hailstones; near misses io ihook her that lt ieemd they would hurl har over on her side.

British battleships, cruisers and destroyen attacked both German and Italian bomberi. Huge splashes from near misses helped to hide the ships from the bombers. ■ The entire crew of the Dlustri- ous, except the officers on the bridge and Crew firing the pompoms—(multi-barrelled anti-aircraft guns)—gathered to help their wounded companions and carried them across the flight deck to medical stations under direct fire- ot machine guns and bombi. .'■'.• As soon ii I few surviving seriously wounded mechanics were pulled out of the wreckage theit companions dished in to get others.

Before the, final decision wai reached to end the meeting Finance Miniiter Ilsley voiced a warning that without. the benefits which would arise from adoption ot the report it might be necessary for the Dominion to invade Provincial taxation fields to finance the war. If that were necessary as a war measure, Premier Hepburn of Ontario declared he would cooperate. He would place the. tax collecting machinery of his Province at the Dominion's disposal, "That Ii the kind 8f cooperation we aik," he uld.

He said he was authorized to inform the conference that the Ontario delegation's association "with this so-called . conference" was at an end. Mr. Hepburn followed with a brief statement commenting on Mr. Ill- ley's remarks which he said had to do with "funny money," and proposals alongside which the monetary theories of Premier Aberhart "faded into insignificance." It further discussions were to be predicted upon the Sirois report, Mr. Hepburn said the Ontario delegation would not remain.

LEAFS LEAD ALL THE WAY The teams battled through a scoreless tint period, incidentally, the tecond time tana have Man a goal-free Initial leislon thli ieuon. Nelon opened t)ia icorlng on goals by Proulx and Sturk In the second girlod before Gordon Wilion gave tmberley Ita first, . Nelion really had to tight to beat off a determined Kimberley drive is the third got under way, and before play waa long advanced, the Dynamiters had the icore cut to 3-2, and they were showing tha upper hand. The Lakesiders quickly recovered, however, and broke up the Kimberley rushes with effective checking, and gave Campbell hli full share of work. Ken Campbell made hli season's debut In Nelson, but he ihowed an old weakness of leaving hit net, which cost him a couple of goals and nearly resulted in otheri. However, he made up tor that with iome marvellous level. Klmberley'i starting forward line looked aomething like old dayi, with rangy Gordon Wilion, • ipec- ialiit ln (ore-checking, ind Ralph Redding on the wing. Sammy Calles, who broke into Kootenay hockey with Trait Blazers two yean igo, wai on right wing, md Curly Hunt, ex-Gonzigan, alternated on the wings. Thia line, with Wilion on the icoring end both timei, notched two of the viiiton' goals, while the other line scored tne third on Sullivan's effort, on a pass from Redisky. Redisky centred thii itring with Sullivan moved over to left wing and Mike Patrick, who Injured hii ankle before the game when he crashed Into the boards, still on right wing. These chinges were made up In Kimberley for the Lethbridge game. The deTfence of Carl Sorenien ind Lyall (Butch) Swaney, had to carry a heavy load, what with Jack Corbett ln the army at Vernon, and Captain Bill Burnett nuning an injured hand and remaining in the box although ln uniform. LEAF8 HIT 'EM The feature ot the opening play wai Uie way which the Nelson defence bumped the Kimberley at- tacken, and for the fint half of the period, the Dynamlten caused litUe trouble, while the Nelion puck- men gave King Campbell two rm three close calls.

Algar took the puck from Sturk. and then relayed over to Proulx who came flying in on left wing to drill a low angle shot into tht net from about 15 leet.

Juit before the end of the period, Nelion, - however regained ltl two-goal lead when Mann tallied on a pretty solo rush. He plcke. the puck up bick ln hli own area, and using Kilpatrlck aa a foil, he went in cloae and left Swiney lying on the Ice ai he icored. Four mlnutei after the third period opened, Kimberley took advantage ot a Nelson lapse when Rediiky Intercepted a Nelaon ruah at about the penalty ihot line along the boards, passed ln Uie clear to Frankie Sullivan In front ot the Nelaon net, and the left winger, who led the Saskatchewan League In icorlng last leasdn, lifted a high backhand shot into the net from 19 feet. Kimberley nearly tied it up when Patrick deflected a pass from cloae in for the corner, but Seaby got there In time for A pretty stop. Kimberley kept every man up at every chance, and the Leafi resorted to a tight defensive game to protect their slim margin and wait for opportunities to break. That'i the way the play went until put the halfway mark, with Kimberley covering up effectively on breaks. PETTIGREW CLIPPED Then the Kilpatrick-Haire-Mann line went wUd, and outsmarted Kimberley at every turn aa they broke up Kimberley rusher and drove rub ber at Campbell.

The vital role the Britiih Navy played in keeping open Uie Empire's lines' of communication, and the part his Uttle expedition, that in the Fint Great War won command of Lake Tanganyika ln Central Africa, played Tn keeping open to* llnu of communication, waa Mid a Nelson Canadian Club audience Wednesday night by Commander G B.

Teaching Child lo Be Generous By Garry Cleveland Myen, Ph.D. From a mother'! letter about her four-year-old boy: "As our lawn is a desirable place for playing the children of the neighborhood gather here, which I encourage. My son, Gilbert, enjoys Blaying with them and particularly kes a boy, Lewis, two yean older. Lewis monopolizes Gilbert's playthings, especially a tricycle, and alio persuade! Gilbert to do his will by saying, 'Gilbert If you don't do u I say, I am going home'. "To get him to itay Gilbert will do anything he wishes. I do not want Gilbert to be selfish with hii playthings, but I do not want htm to have the Idea that It la fair for one to monopolize another's thingi, I have said nothing to him a* yet Ls It good lor Gilbert alwayi to give over to another"! will? What can I do to remedy the iltuatlon when the same child plays here daily?" Here ia how I answered her: SUPERVISE PLAY Since you muit be away from home a great deal of the time ln your professional work, do not try to control the play of these children ln your absence. When you are at home and can find the time, spend lome in supervising their play. Make it clear to them that they must take turm with the.most cherished tingle toys. Set a clock where they can see It and work out with them where the hand must be for shifts or turns. When the older child threateni to go home don't while you are there, allow Gilbert to attempt to bribe hlroe to itay. In cue the older goes, read to your child or divert him in iome other wiy. Let the visiting children know that they muit abide by the rules of your playground. Make reuonable rules ind If they won't cooperate let them go home. But when they abide by the rules compliment them on their cooperation. The chancei are that your child hu more toys than the other children. The more hli exceed in number and excel In quality the bigger your problem will be. GENEROSITY AND SELFISHNESS Hundredi ot parenti have similar problemi. There is the child who carries out and distributes among hit playmates a whole box of cook- lea or buket of fruit These playmates soon learn to prompt the young distributor to "hand out" even when he does not at flnt chooie to do so. He gels considerable satisfaction from the gesture and with lt buys their favon. They in turn make more demands on him with more threats. An element at work also il Jealousy in those who receive under theie circumstances They, furthermore, are greatly Injured morally, learning to be social parasites. Under thete conditloni, the ap patently generous child it not gen eroui at all. He is very selfish. He make! no self-denials except for immediate reward!. If, Instead ot having all the apples he wanti he has but one, and will share that with hit playmates, doing with but little of it for hlmaelf, he is truly generoui; but not when he hu all he wishes for hlmielf md gives away the rest Miny are the children who by early triining ln lelfiih "generality" will give iwiy their {-rents' hard-earned fortune later on ln life.

What a day It la tor a woman who must find her career outside the tour, walli of her own home. Choose the career that appeals to you ai though there were no iuch thing u marriage ln the offing. It will yield you livelihood, interest experience, acqualntante, independence and the self-sufficiency and self-reliance that are a combination ot thue thingi. Dear Miu Chatfield: At tliirtytwo I am completely baffled u to why I am not able to meet and marry a suitable man. Although I'm no beauty I am not ugly. I'm a college graduate and have a sense of humor. My friendi call me unselfish and amiable. I don't gush when I' meet a likely prospect but try to measure him and make conversation which 1 think will entertain him. Yet he usually looks out of the corner of his eye at the nearest bleached blond. I have tried desperately to follow the rules. Where have I gone wrong? SOS. Answer: Do you know that the words people choose to convey their Ideas give index to their states of mind? You are "completely baffled;', "trying deiperately" ind you are snarl- ing at the "bleached blondes". Now it is entirely possible that your anxiety and desperation coupled with your envy of those luckier, may be the root of your trouble. It may be that you're ao eager to land a man and so distraught over your failure that you can't be natural, which is the tame thing u laying you can't be attractive. There'i another possible explanation of your predicament: That taken up with the thought of meeting and marrying a suitable man you are habitually forgetting to be gracious and agreeable to men, women and children who aren't prospects. Now thli lort of an attitude (If you have It) communicate! Itself to all you meet They are repelled by it You sense their disapproval and it makes you sour and dour. Then there'i alwayi the possibility that the peculiar type ofa man who would be attracted to your type of woman hain't yet come along. Girls who have the magic gift mow them down u they come up but there are more girls- without the magic gift than with lt at/1 the have-nots frequently bave to wait a long time to meet the right man. The final possibility is that late Intends you fo go through life without him. In thli case you would do well to use your college education ln deviling wayi and meani of leading an interesting, useful existence: Choose a career. Mrs. Whilfaker to Head Kaslo W.I. KASLO, B.

Hosp itals.'.. Slaying at Home When You Are By LOGAN CLENDENING, M. D. Laat Spring your columnist wu laid up tor a day or two with a bad ankle In an hotel and lent to a supply house that rented invalid equipment for a cradle to put under the bedclothes and protect the foot. When ff arrived we were lomewhat chagrined to find that according to the label on the package it came from "The Aged Invalid! Supply Co," a designation that raised much laughter on the part of the party ot the second pari But oh glancing ln the mirror on the dreater, we decided that probably the cradle had come from tbe right place; Tbe convenience of the arrangement deserve! a word of praise. We did not want to go to a hospital just so we could get the use of the cradle, so the cradle wu brought to us. The cost was $1.50 a month. The advantage wu that we did not have to go to a hospital, and did not have to have breakfast In the cold grey dawn et 0:30 and the last meal of the day at 4:30 ln tfae afternoon. Furthermore, the meali were not like hospital meals — all the same temperature, at the hotel the food that was supposed to be hot was hot, and the food that wu supposed to be cold wu cold. The habit of going to a hospital for every little sickness Is one of the strangest developments of modern times. Not long ago I suggested that a very lick, dying old man be taken to the hospital. But his wife sild that there wu a motto of her father's, "Born at borne, die at home," ind ihe was going to stick to it Thli Idea of going to a hospital to have a baby gels me. But, somebody siys, all the proper conveniences are at the hoapital, Well, you can rent 'hem at home from a sick room lupply company. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS G.

She itated tha he Nelaon library had a large reference library as well, with an excellent collection of books.

Grapefruit juice il the only fruit Juice not on the lilt of binned Imports from non-sterling countries. LOBSTER MARKET STRONG A good export business to the United states and a small pack, short about 20.000 cases, has cut supplies of lobster and tended to strengthen the market. Stocks while small, were expected to last until the new pack however. The ban on imported canned fish such as crib- meat, ihrimp and tuna fish alio helped to boost the demand for canned lobster. A shortage of canned tomatoes before the new pack became available was reported likely. Higher prices for canned tomatoes could be expected in 1941, partly because of Great Britain's otter to take 2,- 267,000 caies from Canadi. Supplies of gelatin were also limited, and pricei ot both gelatin and jelly powden were expected to advance. Sea warfare hil idded to the difficulty of replacing stocks, for the gelatin was imported from Australia. Imported vegetables were almost entirely furnishing the local demand, and a new shipment from California arrived during the week. The milling market was unchanged, there having been no price changei for over two weeks. Carlot import! Included a car of California vegetables, one of meats, om of groceries, and one of sugar.

SIROIS PLAN IS NOT DEAD It is unfortunate that the conference on the Sirois sport should have blown up at Ottawa yesterday. But this cannot mean that We have heard the last of the pressing [need for readjustments in Federal and Provincial relations. The report is so basically Sound that its chjef recptnmen-. dations must ultimately be put into effect. Under the plan of readjustment of Federal and pro- icial relations that the Sirois report proposes the prov- nces would relinquish income and corporation taxes and f-uccession duties, except that the Dominion would, remit. £to the provinces a portion of the corporation taxes from ^mining and oil producing pompanies. In return the Dominion would take over. all, unemployment relief and all existing provincial debts, and there would be machinery for coordinating future borrowings. The Dominion would also make grants to enable each province to provide educational and social services on a national average of quality. British Columbia's-position would be that it could lintain its educational and social services on the present and save its taxpayers between $4,000,000 and $5,- 3,000 annually. In addition to saving ihis large sum the people of Jritish Columbia would benefit through attracting to this rovince concerns whioh now keep out of it because our ation is heavier than that of other provinces, mpny of which do not have the double income tax that burdens Sritish Columbians. Under the Sirois plan British Columbia would'pay the game rate of income tax, corporation tax, and succession duties as the residents of other provinces. MOBILE HOT BATHS FOR THE AUSSIES Even hot baths for the troops are to be placed on 'heels as part of the mechanization of the Australian forces, according to the Australian Press Bureau's clipsheet Just received. The first bath unit to be completed is almost ready to be added to the motorized columns, the story says. The unit consists of 20 showers in four sets of five lowers each. Each set is supplied with hot water from boiler with an oil furnace carried on a motor truck, imping equipment is provided and so long as water is vailable, relays of 20 men at a time can have hot showers. Soldiers will be able to exchange their underclothing I for clean sets at the mobile laundry unit which will accompany the bath unit. The unit can move rapidly from one section of a division to another. Kootenay veterans of the First Great War will remember the primitive showers that were rigged up behind the lines, and the long marches at times to the bathhouse of some French colliery. In the war zone men pretty well rustled their own baths. During the South African War a lot of fun was made a British general who had his daily bath in a rubber .thtub in sight of the Boers. But the British in France Tiad their mobile bath units in the present war. lit is safe to say the field bathtub of the Australians will prove to be a popular institution. The Chief problem will no doubt-be the water supply. Where there is sufficient water, trie field bathtub should take its place with the field kitchen and the water wagon. NELSON DAILY NEWS.

Names ot persons asking question! will not be published. J. P., Nelson—How do you find the octane rating of gasoline? The name octane is derived from "Iso-octane" an extract of petroleum. This liquid, although too expensive to use as an ordinary fuel is very high in anti-knock quality. Another product, "Normal-heptane", which was originally obtained from the The HAMMER AND SCYTHE" sap of the Jeffrey pine, knock! very badly. Varying degreei of antiknock quality can be obtained by mixing the two in different proportions. For example 70 parts of octane and 30 parts heptane give an anti-knock rating of 70 octane number. The percentage of octane in the mixture gives us the octane rating of the gasoline. What is the minimum wage for a boy or girl, 19 years old? It depends on the occupation. Please state the occupation that you have in mind. Q. I, D„ Nelson—What width is the road allowance on the Nelson- Belfour road? The road allowance on this part of the road varies greatly. What distance should power and telephone poles be from allowance lines? Wherever possible the power and telephone poles should be not more than six feet from the fence. B. C. F„ Trail-What is the Primrose League? It is the name of a British political association founded in 1883 for the maintenance of religion, of the estates of the realm and of the imperial ascendancy of Great Britain The name was chosen because Lord Beaconsfield's favorite flower was the primrose. P. D„ Creston—Do I pay Income Tax on the income I actually received or on the amount I would have received if there had been no deductions? I am unmarried and have no dependents. You pay on the gross. For example: your pay ls $100 a month. From this has been deducted 1 per cent Provincial tax, and 2 per cent National Defence tax, so that you have actually received $97 a month or $1164. But your taxable Income ls $1200. Your exemption for income tax is $750. The amount taxable is $450. On this the tax ia $31. Add to this the 2 per cent National Defence tax of $24, which makes a total tax payable of $55, but deduct the $24 already paid, leaving a net income tax of $31. This can be paid by'installments if the fint installment ls paid by January 31. AUNt HET By ROBERT QUILLEN "I used to dread gettin' old, but I don't any more.

Nazis Reap Billions in Czech Conquest WASHINGTON, Jan. 15 (API- Germany's economic conquest of Czecho-Slovakia has cost the Czechs at least $1,000,000,000 since the "Made in Munich" Nazi occupation 22 months ago, according to author, itative information received In Washington diplomatic quarters. The reports, compiled by non Czech sources, state the Germans also have impose dtribute taxes to assist in financing the Reich's war against Britain. The yield from these was estimated at en additional $100,, 000,000 annually. German troopi Invaded Czechoslovakia in a snow storm on March 15,1939, and divided the republic into the "protectorate" of Bohemia and Moravia, end the Independent state of Slovakia. At the time the total population was 9,800,000). On the heels of the actual military occupation of the protectorate, the reports said, an estimated 500,000 Nazis poured in and took over practically all key positions in government, industry and trade. • Nazi decrees enforced by these "brownshirt carpetbaggers", the survey stated, have enabled German Interests to completely dominate Czech banking, industry and com merce and reap handsome profits for Germany. Over and above the normal taxes collected by the "protectorate" authorities, the report stated, German war taxes have been introduced which brousht the Reich an estimated 600,000.000 crowns annually. Since the customs union decree has abolished customs barriers an estimated 2,500,000,000 crowns in consumption and turnover taxes now flow direct to the German treasury, providini the Reich with 3.00,000,000 crowns ($100,000,000) annually from Bohemia and Moravia.

Stibbi Tueiday night urged the City Counoll to place before the Dominion Qovernment a.propoial for establishing military training quarters for 500 men at Nelion. He advocated the erection, on tha lite ef the former Nelion Sain A Door Co., Ltd. factory destroyed by fire In June, of a building to be leased to the Govtrnment for thli purpoie and to be uied after the wir by the City ai a warehouse and garage. Thil propoial was one of many made to the Council in a prepared statement. Mayor Stibbi urged the Council: To consider installation of a $17,- 000 bank of transformers near the gas plant to improve and safeguard the City's electrical distribution system; To consider building a new City Hall; To undertake additional road surfacing and surfacing of lanes; To launch a vigorous program of concrete curb construction; To build a fish rearing pond at Cottonwood Park; To continue park development and City beautification; To construct a settling tank on Anderson Creek to eliminate aedi- ment trouble; To make a drive to Increase the business ot the City gas plant; To improve electrical service to consumers; To make further Improvement of the water distribution system along the lines of the five-year program laid down for the City, by New York experti. "CIRCULAR TOUR Or" CITY" He visloned a "circular tour" of the City over paved roads, as a future development. It would provide a drive from the business section to Houston Street, down through Gyro Park and upper Fair- view to the Weit Arm and back over Nelson Avenue and so on to the businesi section. Financing of a new City Hall could be carried out without Increased taxation and would be to the general welfare of the City In providing labor, hit wonhip contended. "The preient building II nothing but a fire trap and a disgrace to the City of Nelson." Few realled the value of records in the present City Hall which, if destroyed, could not be replaced. "This building 40 years ago may have served ihe city's needs, but with the growth of the City and staff It cannot be expected to meet the present needs of a progressive city, he asserted, "DUST FREE CITY" Within a few yean "every well travelled itreet and lane should be hard surfaced, which will make the City almott duat free," his Worship commented. During the past three years a continuous improvement program had been followed and the up-to-date equipment now in use "makes this work a pleasure." "It is the desire of the Council that where possible cement sidewalks should be laid and a aet price to the property owneri of UV, centi per iquare foot should be an Inducement." Cement walks would in time effect a great savings by eliminating expensive board sidewalk repairs. Mayor Stibbs deiired "to draw ittention to the desirability ot constructing good roadwayi to mike a circular route around the upper portion of the ity." He proposed the route should extend from Kootenay Street along Houston, down Cedar, through Gyro Park; along Morgan Avenue, Douglas Road and Fifth Avenue to Gordon Road; along Gordon Road to Nelson Avenue; and thence back to the business dlatrlct Improvement to the West entrance of the City, by widening Government road and cutting banks which obstruct the view, should be undertaken, he commented. "One particular road improvement that should be completed this year is to hard surface Silica Street from the 600 Block to Gyro Park entrance," he stated. "Douglas Road should be improved." Mayor Stibbs urged that in the Spring a program of surfacing lanes. especially the balance of the lanes in the business section, should be Initiated. He urged construction of stone retaining walls on the North sldes of the 500 block on Silica and Carbonate Street! in preparition for concrete lidewalks. Two vital departmenti were the Fire and Water Departmenti. Hit Worship recommended thit the City follow cloiely the five-year program of exteniion and renewal of mains to provide a more adequate water distribution system as outlined by experts engaged by the City five years ago. He suggested the Council consider a settling tank or iind filter at the Anderson Creek Intake to eliminate trouble caused by sediment. FIRE DEPARTMENT KEEP8 UP "Our fire department is keeping abreast of the times," he state- Chief G. A. McDonald and his staff were not only trained to saw properly but also to render first aid. Two fire insurance rate reductions In the last three years were "laving the insured public many thousands of dollars yearly." He tug- jested thought be given to the Government and Insurance com- Baniei sharing with municipalities i the coit ot fire departmenti, "limilarly to New Zealand." "The gas plant can and ihould do a larger business and a apecial effort should ba made to Increase services," he asserted. A regular canvas and servcie system wat tug- getted. While "the electric light and power utility It the real foundation ot Nelion'i many Improvements and low taxation, we itlll can do much to improve our service to the consumer, such as cheaper range installations." A great saving might be effected by up-to-date hot water tank installations. TRANSFORMER BANKS Mayor Stibbs urged the Council to carry out the recommendation of M. Montgomery, recently Consulting Engineer for the Electrical Department, that the City should Install a bank of three transformers in the vicinity of the gas plant to provide security of service during peak load. This was "very important now that the Fairview section has grown to such proportions." Ap' proximate cost would be $17,000. The power plant wat In flnt class shape, he itated, adding, "thll utility his, more than any other been accountable for the wonderful financial poiltion of the . City, Without It we would not be the olty we are today and our taxei would be many timet greater." It had made possible to many of our improvements, Including the Civic Centre, parks and streets" while taxes were kept down. "No council can offer this plant for sale without the approval of all property owneri by a vote, ahd I do not know any Council that would be so foolish," declared Mayor Stibbs. Installation ot the unit authorized some time ago by bylaw "is a matter for'the Council to decide, if and when it is ln the best Interest of the City and country to do so." At the present time power was assured by "the generosity of the West Kootenay Power & Light Company in leaving the connections across the river which' assure ua of power no matter what may go wrong with our own plant" Hla,' Worship also expressed appreciation to this company {or supplying ua with free power during the time of construction and also for the fine workmanlike Job they put into ou» power plant repaln. There ll no question our plant waa in a grave condition before these repairs were ' made." PARK IMPROVEMENT Wonderful strides had been madt ln parki and cemetery improvement in the pait three yean. He hoped the Government mil year would blacktop Cemetery Road, now ready for surfacing. Nelaon haa something to be proud of ln Lakeside ana Gyro Parks and he hoped to see improvement of Cottonwood Pirk launched this year with construction of the fint fish pond to com« plement "the fine flih hatchery." "I also want to thank the Nelson Junior Chamber of Commerce and the Garden Club for their efforts to improve the beauty of our City, by better gardens and boulevard!. With the assistance of S- G. Blay- look the parks Committee had started new City beautification projects, planting rose bushes on the bank at Kootenay Lake General Hospital entrance, planting the bank at Lakeside Park and the small park on Railway Street, and other parts ot the City "whloh will show to good_ advantage aa the yean roll by." Ho1 urged that "this work should be continued and given constant attention." Fairview playground had been delayed by difficulty in obtaining easements from adjoining property owners for a drainage system. At Gyro Park a playground spice hid been provided, and at the Fourwaya Playground the K-P.-D.O.K.K. playground Association wat making progress. 8TREET RAILWAY The Street Railway "li in a con« . dltion that calls for enormous expenditure if it is to be put into tint class condition," the Mayor continued. "The upkeep ot the can Is an ever Increasing item. ..'. All cities that have given up street cars for buses report a substantial profit over street car operations and at the same time give a more flexible service to all parts of the City, impossible with street can. This service will have to be maintained in a satisfactory condition until such time aa it is possible to replace it by a more modern system." Pro-Rec classes directed by Mill Eileen Macdonald of Rossland at the Civic Centre had proved successful and he asked for Council cooperation in seeking, to establish men's classes. Native Tribesmen Raid Isolated ] Posts and Attack Italian Convoys KHARTOUM, Anglo-Egyptian Sudan, Jan. 15 (CP)—British sources said today that native guerilla raids had left Italian soldiers in control of only towns snd main roads in parts of Fascist-conquered Ethiopia and "even those art not always While British patrols harrasa Italians guarding Ethiopia's Western border, these sources said, thousands of native tribesmen raid Isolated Interior posti, attack military convoys on roads and even snipe at the Italians, in towns.

TO REMOVE ENGLISH SIGNS IN TOKYO TOKYO, Jsn. 15 (AP)—All English signs soon will be removed from the Ginza—Tokyo's main street —the newspaper Yomiuri said today, as a result ot a police "sug- geition" which observers interpreted as another step In a campaign to "purify" the Japanese language.

Tribesmen thui armed were said* already to have routed the Italian garrison at Gubba, 20 miles from the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan frontier. British officials said tribesmen were known, in some instance] to have persuaded Ethiopian conscripts to desert the Italians. This, they said, "was not difficult after hearvy British bombings," British circles reported the natives were "impressed" when tha Royal Air Force attacked only Italian objectives in Ethiopia, avoiding bombing of native areas. This waa said in official quarters to have, caused Italani to move out of Iheir own areas and seek safety from alt nidi In native districts.

I have taken particular notice of the Nelaon Maple Leafi' defence lineup. In every game I note four defencemen in the lineup, yet I have never seen more than three men on the Nelion defence in action—namely, Bicknell, Pettigrew and Boothman, So I challenge your reporter's vision. I am sure, though thll maji Gilmour it in the lineup, he hu failed to get ln the limelight. . , We were told thii man wu coming In at a Playing Coach, and we thought we had aomething, while I personally am not In favor of a coach playing; I do think it is a sad mistake for a Coach to hold a playing position, thus Impairing the strength of his team. Everyone knowl all the other teams hava four defencemen, and moat of them three forward lines. It would be very unfair to expect our boyi to compete against such odds, WANTI OLD FACES BACK I for one would like to see the Nelson executive do Ita best to get Budy Hammond and bis bag of tricks (that all the fans love so much) back on hia former poiltion at centre, Nick Smith back on defence, and Johnny Smith and Euerby for iparea on the forward line, thus giving our boys a breathing spell when hard pressed, especially for home games when it coati nothing for travelling expenses. If something like thia ii not done, our boyi wtll be burned out before the playoffi start. I am willing to stake a bet on the Nelaon Maple Leafs' against all comers if they are given the break they deserve through substitutes. ARDENT HOCKEY FAN. Nelson, B. C, Jan. IS, 1941.

Germany undoubtedly would begin sending troops across •the Sicilian Channel, which lies between Sicily and Tunisia to bolster Marshal Graziani'i harried forces in Libya. Despite the potential danger of iuch an offensive, there was little belief in London the Germans would be successful. Dealing with the air situation well-informed circles noted that the German! would be operating from "make-shift" bases analnst the Royal Air Force, which will be flying from "well protected and well equipped ba«es." "Dive bombera have a limited range," one source iald. "Operating from Sicily they are able to attack the fleet only when it ia within range and will themselvei be open to repeated attacks on their air dromes. Our air superiority Ii io well established in thoie regions that no influx of German planet can wrest lt from us." Questions as to- probability Germany might move some heavy Dornier and Heinkel bombers South to attack the army of the Nile and Its bases brought the comment: "Fine, let them." ■ Such a movement would lift iome pressure from Britain, and elve a good indication of the extent of the German preoccupation with the problems facing the other Axil partner. German bases ln Sicily are guarded by German anti-aircraft guns and gunners, it is understood here. However, Nazi troop reinforcement! to North Africa are not expected before "we give Italy one more good smash," a military source said. "But they can't allow all of North Africa to fall without a fight leaving Italy at our mercy," he added. "If the German! do get a couple of divisions through, we will be delighted." Germans, military circles remarked, have no experience with tbe African type of warfare and would have to depend on communications maintained by the Itallani, "which cm be described with charity u uncertain." - Greek Freiqhter in Convoy Sunk NIW YORK, Jan.

JAN. 19.1941- Canada's Apple Consumption Falls, Citrus Up, Rattray Tells Growers; ' No Help Given by Exchange Ad ...-^■^^-i, i__i____i ^—&*,_ ..; KELOWNA, B. C- Jan. IS-Fol-l lowing is the annual report which Capt D. M. Rattray, President presented to the Brltith Columbia Fruit Growers Association, whole three-day convention opened here Tueiday: Immediately following our'lait convention your Executive met to .start action designed to Implement the many resolutions which were referred to them. Those resolutions requiring the attention of the Federal Government were taken to Ottawa by President Loyd when he attended the annual meeting of the Canadian Horticultural CouncU. It li worthy ot note that all of the resolutions emanating from our convention which were placed he- fore the Council, received the en- dorsation of that body. Atting on instructions given at our last convention an interim report on action taken on resolutions was published In the July issue of Country Life in B. C. A further report bringing this record up to date, will be placed in your handa at the convention. ' As such report must of necessity be brief, I deal below ln more detail with some of the more important matters dealt with. FEDERAL MARKETING LEGISLATION—Endorsed by the Canadian Horticultural Council and presented to the Government. While the Government haa not as yet introduced any specific legislation to this end, the Orden in Council under the War Measures Act, giving the Nova Scotia Apple Marketing Board and the B. C. Fruit Board control of the marketing of all apples produced in the areaa under their jurisdiction, may be taken as an indication that the principle, has In part been accepted. RAILWAY RATES REDUCED RAILWAY RATES — Considerable discussion on this matter took place between Government officials, representatives of the B. C Fruit Industry and railway representatives. Certain reductions were finally obtained, but certainly not to an extent satisfactory to the delegates. On receiving the decision of the railways, further representations were made, Including a personal interview between Mr. Loyd and the President of the Canadian National Railways, also, at the request of your Association, the support ot the Premiers of the four Western Provinces, the Western Conference end the Canadian Federation- of Agriculture, to our application. Despite these efforti, the railways' refused to alter the decision already given, with the exception that reduced rates to Prairie points were made effective to March 31, 1941, instead of Nov. 30, 1940, as at first indicated. At the moment Tree Fruits Ltd. has a thorough presentation of the case before the railway authorities awaiting a reply. FINANCING, B. C. F. G. A.-Al most of you are already aware, it waa found impracticable to arrange for financing the Association on a per box levy as decided by resolutions at our last convention. An arrangement was made with Tree Fruits Ltd. by which that organization would fmance the Association to the extent of $0500. This arrangement was ratified by the Directors at their May meeting, sad we have operated, on the reduced budget since June 1 last GASOLINE PRICES-In addition to resolutions passed at the annual convention, your Directors instructed the Secretary to take up with the Provincial Government and with the Coal and Petroleum Board the question of the increase of 1 cent per gallon in the price of gasoline to farmers. This has been the subject of considerable correspondence, but up to the present no definite decision has been given, although Dr. Carrothers, Chairman, Coal and Petroleum Board, has indicated that there is little possibility of the old rate being restored. A suggestion from your Executive that the arrangement previously existing, whereby farmers who provided storage facilities for 150 gallons or more gasoline received a lower rate, be reestablished, is still the subject of correspondence with Dr. Carrothers. FARMERS' CREDIT ARRANGEMENT ACT—Your Directors also uked that all Locals be requested to state their attitude to the suggested restoration of the Farmers' Creditors Arrangement Act Very few replies were received, tome were opposed and the number In favor was not sufficient to justify representations to the Government on the matter. FARMERS AND BANKRUPTCY ACT—Your Directors elso requested that the position of the farmer under the Bankruptcy Act be made clear. Following correspondence with the Attorney General's Department, legal opinion was obtained and circulars embodying the opinion were sent to all Locals for information of the memben. LABOR ASSURED LABOR SITUATION-Grave concern over the probable ihortage of orchard and packing house labor due to the enlistments from the area, lack of the usual transient labor, and the holding of Militia and "Trainee" campi during the harvest period, was exoressed by many of our members. The matter was taken up with the military authorities, with the result that announcement was made that attendance at militia camps was not compulsory. Arrangement! were also made with the Department of Education whereby, should the situation become to acute, and provided certain conditions were observed, Senior High School students would be excused attendance In order to assist in harvesting the crop. In this matter we received full cooperation from Hon. G. M. Weir, Miniiter of Education, and very helpful assistance from the Minister of Agriculture, Hon. K. C. MacDonald. The problem of farm labor may become more acute In 1941. The Federal Government has indicated that the needs of agriculture will be evaluated. LIMITED LICENCES GROWER-TRUCKERS-For some yean past limited local licences have been granted to grower-truckers en- gaded In hauling limited quantities of fruit Thli year iuch licenret were not Issued and grower-truckers were advised that commercial licencei must be obtained. One grower-trucker was charged and fined tor hauling fruit without tint iiiTfa^-ajill-'ili*- having complied with this regulation. Following requests trom Locals in the Kelowna area, your Association was instrumental In securing a public hearing by the Public Utilities Commission. It also circularized all the Locals in the fruit area on the matter and from the information thus obtained a submission was prepared for presentation at the hearing which was held in Kelowna on August 20 last -■' ;•'' , Thli presentation waa made by Secretary C. A. Hayden and the tat- -factory outcome of the hearing ll, in my opinion, very largely due to the very able manner in which he presented the case for the growers. Briefly, it wat arranged that limited local licencei would be issued to bona fide grower-truckers on recommendation signed by the President and Secretary of the B. C. F. G. A. Local to which the grower -belonged. In. other worda, the Commission put the responsibility in the hands of the B. C. F. G. A., Intimating that if this did not prove satisfactory, other measures Would have to be adopted in 1941, FRUIT IMPORTS NOT RESTRICTED IMPORTS FRUITS AND V-GE- TABLES—For several monthi past your Association has been active in support of the propoial submitted by the Canadian Horticultural Council to the Federal Government that as a measure of currency conserve' tion, imports of fresh frulti and vegetables be restricted. Your representatives when In Ottawa in May and again .In July 1st, joined With those from other Provinces in Interviews with the Minister of Finance, Deputy Minister of. Finance, Exchange Control Board, and other officials urging action on this matter. Your Tariff Committee also has been extremely active with regard to this. ' It was confidently expected that the suggestions made .to the Government would result in some definite action when numerous tariff changes were introduced ln tie House of Commons on Dec. 2 last. In the form of The Wir Exchange Conservation Act The omission of fresh fruits and vegetables from the provisions of this act was the source of considerable disappointment to the industry. Correspondence has passed between your Association and the Minister ot Finance and It Is hoped to place hii reply before you in convention. Realizing the difficulties which faced tbe industry, mainly through the loss of export markets owing to .war conditions, the Federal Government gave substantial assistance by means of advertising, by an agreement to purchase certain quantities of applei ihould they be lett on bur hands at the end of the season, and by an Ordcr-in-Council un der the War Measures Act giving the B. C. Fruit Board control of all apples grown In the area under their jurisdiction. These measures have permitted the orderly marketing of the apple crop, and will ensure equitable treatment to all growers. MUST HOLD DOWN PE8TS One of the major problem! facing our growers at the present time ii that of pest control. Pacific red mite hai gained a footing in aome areaa, and is the object of intensive work by both Federal and Provincial entomological and horticultural staffs. Even more serious is the greatly increased losi tuffered ln many areaa through codling moth infestation. This pest Involving aa it doei costly control sprays, heavy culling ot damaged fruit and removal of unsightly spray residue, is a major factor in increasing coiti of production. Unless more effective control measures are evolved we may find, as other fruit areas have found, that it is impossible to carry on under thii increasing economic loss. In dealing with this problem three main points are involved, all are important all Inter-related. (1) Spray materials. (2) Spray application, and (3) Residue removal. (1) SPRAY MATERIALS-These are in the sphere of the entomologist and research chemist The development ot more effective sprays at a lower coat haa been the subject ot intensive research in all apple producing countries. Theil problem is not merely the finding of an effective method of killing of the pest Low cost effect on production, easy removal of residue, and many other facton combine to make their problem an extremely complex one. Progress has been made, however, and our own investigators have found means of reducing costs of spray combinations without lots of efficiency. (2) SPRAY APPLICATION-Thi! ll in the hand! of the grower him. self, and ia perhaps the mott im. portant link in the chain of operations. It involvei efficient equipment and thorough coverage. While definite up-to-the-minute figures are not yet available it can be safely stated that a shortage ot efficient equipment exist! in practically all districts. The equipment necessiry to com. bat this pest ls expensive and many growers are unable to make the cash outlay which is required to bring their equipment up to the proper standard. Wayi and meant ot correcting thit situation ihould be the subject of serious consideration. As to proper coverage — moit growen are today aware that In the control of codling moth, half measures will not pay. The recommendations of the spray committee should be closely adhered to. (3) REMOVAL OF RESIDUE - This ls the job ot the packinghouse operator. A survey of the present equipment has been made; newer types of wipers have been tested; and recommendations tor increasing efficiency ot the present equipment at a reasonable cost have been promulgated. t Our poiltion as producen of a high quality product will be seriously Impaired. If not lost If we have to resort to washers for removal of ipray residue. The effort! of all concerned ihould be directed to the prevention of auch a necei. slty.

C. When the growers in January, 1938, decided to Mt up their own marketing, the Impact ot war was not forseen. It Is generally admitted that had we faced the conditions of the peat two yean under previous methods of operation, the result to the growen might easily have proved disastrous. TREE FRUITS SUCCESS Aa Tree Fruits, Ltd., has kept It- members informed by means of radio and by bulletins mailed to growen Individually, and further, as a report will be presented to you by Mr. A. K. Loyd covering its operations, I will refer to it very briefly. The policy adopted by the Gov ernon of taking successive steps to ward the objective ln view when the organization waa established has, In my opinion, proved a sound one. The field of activity covered by Tree Fruits, Ltd., wai considerably enlarged lait season ahd the organization hai proved Its ability to tkea the strain. Thli season his presented many difficulties, iome of which have been rendered leu formidable by fortuitous circumstances not forseen in the early part of the cooperative movement Not all those difficulties have been overcome, but I feel that the final outcome will be considerably better than at one time appeared possible. For many reasons tbe year ahead may be even more difficult than that which has juit passed. To meet the difficulties ahead, to maintain the progress which hai been made —end real progress hat been made —and to make further ttept forward, we muat maintain and strengthen that spirit of unity and determination which has been displayed during the past two yean. Before concluding this report I Ihould like .to acknowledge the hearty cooperation and helpful suggestions received from our Minister of Agriculture, Hon. K. C. Mac- Donald: the valuable assistance given by the Dominion Department of Agriculture, particularly the Fruit Branch and Economics Branch; the Inspection Service; the Canadian Horticultural Council; and the Sum merland Experimental Station. Valuable contact! harve been made with other Growen' Associations from all sections of the Dominion, and our relations with them have been most cordial. Your standing Committees have worked efficiently and'actively, at reports which will be placed before you will Indicate. I take this opportunity ef ex- Dressing to the Directors and to the Executive my thanks for the full measure of cooperation .which they have given to me ilnce I took office. I commend to your attention the unremitting efforts on the part of our Secretary to further the Interests of our members. Mv own In- exoerlence and lack of familiarity with details have given him an unusual load which he hai borne most willingly. I feel ture thit he will continue to receive your active cooperation.
