Pleven Asked to Continue Govt French Premier Offered Resignation After Winning Vote by Narrow Margin By JOSEPH E. DYNAN ' I PARIS, Feb. 27 (AP)—Premier Rene Pleyen's three-party [Government offered to resign tonight because it won by only lo narrow margin a vote of confidence on the French election law issue, but President Vincent Auriol refused to let it step out of office. 1 The National Assembly voted 243 to 216 to consider I the Pleven Cabinet's plan for revision oi the French electoral [system, a question on which Pleven had decided his Govern- |ment would stand or fall. ] An outright majority of the Assembly is 311, but the •Government's 243 was enough llegally to permit it to remain |in office, Auriol urged Pleven to continue (his government's efforts to revise (the election laws and the Assembly I was reconvened to. begin considera- |tion of the government plan. One of the three main parties of ithe Pleven Coalition Government, [the Catholic Mouvement Republic- lain Populaire (M.R.P.), abstained in [the vote. The M.R.P. is determined to retain the present proportional I representation system, which other [parties in the government want to | abolish. The government's plan provides Ifor combination election slates in leach department (county), with ■run-off elections where no slate gets la full majority in the first election, lit retains some features of propor- Itional representation, but not enough Jto suit the M.R.P. Proportional representation, Pleven has said, benefits the Communists, and one reason for rewriting the country's election system Is to reduce Red strength In next November's national election. Under the present system the umber of deputies elected by each /arty is in proportion to the number I of voters. Under the compromise [plan, any party which gets more I than half the votes in any of the 140- lodd election districts gets all itscan- fdidates in those districts elected. All non-Communist parties agree Ithat this cutting of Red strength must be accomplished, but they differ on how to do it. Each party in [ the Government Coalition, of course. I wants at least to conserve its present [ strength in parliament. One difficulty within the Govern- I ment is that proportional representation also benefits the M.R.P. On I this one issue the party has a tacit alliance with the Communists. The I M.R.P. decided that rather than op- [ pose the Government of which it is I a part, it would abstain in the vole of confidence. [Gov't Ownership Of Gas, Oil [Pipelines Asked OTTAWA, Feb. 27 (CP) - Gov- | ernment ownership of gas and oil I pipelines was advocated in the Com- I mons tonight by Stanley Knowles [ (CCF—Winnipeg North centre). He spoke amid indications that I the house is going to'see a renewal I of last year's pipelines battle that [ revolved about wether proposed gas I oil lines went by all-Canadian I routes. George Cruickshank (L—Fraser | Valley), spearhead of the 1950 fight I for an all-Canadian route to the [ coast, told the commons he is going I to do everything possible to prevent a line—which he did not name from carrying Alberta fuel to the Untied States. He said this company will have an application for incorporation before the Commons later, Meanwhile, members gave approval In principle to an Incorporation bill for Trans-Canada Pipe Lines, Ltd., after hearing the company plans to transport natural gas from Alberta to Montreal by an all-Canadian route. Mr. Knowles, urging the govern ment to get into the pipeline-con struction business, said pipelines are natural monopolies and as such should be in the hands of the people's representatives rather than private business. He said competition for business might result in private firms building parallel, competing lines, with a great waste of money and manpower. The public would have to pay for this eventually. John Decore (L—Vegreville), sponsoring second reading of the Trans-Canada bill, said the proposed, line would cost $250,000,000 and would have 2200 miles of main line and 900 miles of spur and connecting lines. It would touch at Swift Current, Moose Jaw. and Regina, in Saskatchewan; Brandon, Souris, Portage La Prairie and Winnipeg in Manitoba; Kenora, Sudbury, Fort William, Port Arthur, Toronto. London, Gait, Kitchener, Kingston, Port Colborne, Brockville, P r e s c o 11, Cornwall, Smith Falls and Ottawa in Ontario, with a line from Ottawa to Hull, Que. Mr. fSecore said it was hoped eventually to extend the line from Montreal to Quebec City. He emphasized that no gas could be carried now. pointing to a recent ruling of the Alberta Petroleum and Natural Gas Conservation Board that none is to be released outside Alberta until the province's proven reserves are larger. FIVE CHILDREN DIE IN FIRE 11-Year-Old Saves Lives of Two As Home Burns SULLIVAN, Que., Feb. 27 (CP)— Fire took the lives of five children early today but two others were led to safety by a 11-year-old girl when their parent's frame cottage was destroyed at this Northwestern Quebec mining village. The heroism of little Pearl La- jeunne was credited by an unidentified taxi driver as saving the lives of her brother and sister, Ludger, 8, and Diane, *0. The dead: William, 14, Robert 12, Richard 11, Gloria 7, and Marie Martha, six months. Mr. and Mrs. William Lajeunne, the parents, were visiting friends at Val d'Or when the fire roared through the wooden structure shortly after midnight. The cab driver, first to notice the fire, turned in the alarm. But firemen arrived too late to fight the blaze. The driver said that when he returned to the scene, Pearl was leading Ludger away to a snowbank where Diane, clad only in pyjamas, was lying. He said that ,he had to persuade the little girl from re-entering the building in an effort to bring out the other children.

Feb. 27 (AP) — The United States Government today unfroze the retail prices of clothing, furniture, rugs, lamps, drygoods and household textiles, and'clamped a new freeze on the retailer's "margin" between what he pays and what he receives. Many prices increases are expected but officials say they expect some price cuts. Price Director Michael V. Disalle told reporters: "My guess is that the rollbacks will be greater than Ihe roll-forwadrsj." Canada Expects No Free Gifts From U.S.-Howe WASHINGTON, Feb. 27 (CP) — The Economic Cooperation Administration announced today allocation of $153,000 to Austria for the purchase of American tractors and agricultural equipment in Canada. CHICAGO, Feb. 27 (CP) — Can- ada's Trade Minister, Rt. Hon. C. D. Howe, said tonight that Canada will shoulder her full burden in the current emergency, without the expectation of any free gifts from the United States. Though the United States has 12 times the population and 18 times the\ productive strength, Canada never has asked the U.S. for gifts nor will she do so now, Howe said in a speech to the Chicago Com- mecrial Club. "We expect Jo carry a fair share of the sacrifices and costs of collective defence. On a per capita basis, we shall probably carry more tlian many of our Allies." He said it seemed clear to him that there had to be a frank and full discussion of what Canada was doing in view of what some of his American friends and American publications were saying. "Some of you may think that we Canadians are touchy, too ready to resent the suggestion that we are doing less than our duty In this'time of peril. That may be so, but I doubt it. What I am concerned about Is that my American friends should have a clear explanation of the Canadian position." He lashed out at the "insane ambitions of the Kremlin" which were causing such a "colossal waste of human and material resources," touched briefly on the thorny question of compulsory training in Canada and intimated that when the need arises, Canada will not be found wanting, either in the quantity of ber fighting men or their quality He told of Canada's plans to send additional ground troops to Korea i?nd to offer troops for Europe's defence, as well as an air division of 11 fighter squadrons,' two of which* would soon be sent to Britain to join one squadron already in training there. Canada's defences, he said, will be framed on the basis of possible attack by air and sea. There was a 100-ship naval force now in the making. On the ground, Canada,,working with the U.S., was planning a huge radar warning system, to bolster air defences. One-quarter of tho system would be located in Canada, built and paid for by Canadians. Anti-aircraft guns were being modernized to supplement air defence and protect vital points. But all this effort led to problems, and some of them were: 1. The St. Lawrence seaway must be built. Without it, the steel industry now on the Great Lakes area would have to migrate to the Atlantic coast. 2. Commodity controls in Canada would'have to be extended "to all war commodities." 3. Canada was placing eight times as many war orders in the U.S. as the U.S. was placing in Canada. More contracts and sub-contracts could "with advantage" be placed in Canada. 4. Inflation was a big headache in Canada. The $5,000,000,000 three year defence program on which the Government has embarked was comparable on a per capita basis to what the U.S. now was spending, 5. Canada could not hope for a measure of stability in prices without stability in the U.S. Said Mr. Howe: "We earnestly hope you will succeed in attaining a reasonable measure of stability for only if that happens can we in Canada hope to avoid serious trouble . "Canada is pursuing fundamental anti-inflationary policies,as vigorously as ever. All I say is that if you irt the U.S. succeed in your efforts to stabilize prices, one of the most powerful external pressures toward rising prices in Canada will be relieved." Disalle's Office of Price Stabilization issued the first of a series of "margin-type" orders designed to put price controls on a "fairer and more workable" basis than could be expected from the freeze of Jan. 25. -. The action affects about 233,000 retail companies. It covers an estimated 200,000 different items of merchandise. These, retailers must get on the new basis no later than, March 29. They must mark their goods with selling prices by July 1. Disalle announced: "The basic objective of this regulation is to establish typical pre-Korean markup practices at retail." But the percentage of margins, or mark-ups, was not rolled back to a pre-Korean date. On the contrary, each retailer will base his percentage on the percentage he received last Saturday, Feb. 24, This was the second major move taken today on the controls front. In the other, the national production authority set up a system under which business men, farmers, public and private institutions and others can use a priority rating to get limited supplies of scarce goods for maintenance, repair and operations. Major Items not affected by the new retail prices ,01'der are food, beverages, gasoline and oil, automotive equipment and supplies, large appliances such as refrigerators, drugs, cosmetics, lumber, building supplies, hardware, stationary, fuel, jewelry and housewares. Later orders will put margim type rules into effect on such items as those and on wholesalers and manufacturers, too. Parliament At a Qlance By The Canadian Press Citizenship Minister Harris said a new bill amending the Indian Act Is basically unchanged from one Introduced and withdrawn last year. Stanley Knowles (CCF--Wlnnl- peg North Centre) advocated Government ownership of gas and oil pipelines.

TITO ONLY ONE ESCAPES ARREST Clementis Seventh Red Leader To Break With Moscow LONDON, Feb. 27 (CF) — Dr. Vladimir Clementis, former Czechoslovak foreign minister now under arrest in Prague, is the seventh top Communist in'Eastern Europe to break with Moscow. Only one got away with It — ^Premier Tito of Yugoslavia. Four others were executed as traitors, one has disappeared after arrest and Imprisonment and another Is reported awaiting trial. Tito's quarrel with Moscow, culminating in his expulsion by the Cominform in July, 1948, was the bombshell that set off the purges by satellite countries loyal to the Kremlin. Despite announced confessions in most cases, there is no real outside evidence that the purged top Communists really had anything to do with Tito. But the mere fact that they put the interests of their own country over those of the Soviet Union put them in Tito's camp. These are the top Communists who paid the price for deviation from Stalin: Romania — Lucretia Patrascanu, Minister of Justice who resigned in February, 1948. Months later reports filtered through the Iron Curtain of his arrest and imprisonment. Up to his arrest his record was "clean." A clue to his arrest came from opponents who said he was "a real Romanian Commun ist" and not "a Moscow Com munist." Hungary—Tough Interior Minis tcr Laszlo Rajk' confessed he had plotted for years to overthrow the Government and turn Hungary over to Tito. He was hanged Oct. 15, 1D49. Bulgaria—Deputy Premier Trai- cho Kostov, friend of the late Communist leadsr Gsorgi Dimit'rov, was hanged Dec. 11, 1949, on. charges of plotting with Tito to turn his country oyer to the Yugoslav marshal as a step toward forming an independent South Slav federation. Albania — Interior Minister Lt.» Gen. Koci Xoxe was executed before a firing squad June 11, 1949, for trying to link Albania with Yugoslavia rather than with Russia. Poland—Vice-Premier Wladislaw -W; Gomulka was purged from the Central Committee of the Communist party for Titoism. Since that time he has been reported arrested and awaiting trial for treason and spying. Greece — Gen. Markos Vafiades disappeared in 1948 from leadership of the Communist guerrillas in the ill-fated Greek civil war. He was variously Reported interned in Russia and executed for being friendly toward Tito. In all of these countries, and in Czechoslovakia and Romania, hundreds of lesser officials, party men and army officers have been jailed or executed on similar charges of spying for or plotting with Tito to overthrow their governments, Expect Decision of Coast Loggers Today VANCOUVER, Feb. 27 (CP) — Decision of 32,000 coastal loggers on contract offer will likely be known "sometime tomorrow,'1 Woodworkers' Leader J.

DRIVERS' TESTS ADVOCATED EDMONTON, Feb. 27 (CP) — Drivers' tests for motor vehicle operators in Alberta today were advocated in the Provincial Legislature by H. B. Macdonald (Ind.— Calgary). Mr. Macdonald, speaking in the debate in reply to the throne speech, also asked the Government to initiate compulsory, twice-yearly safety tests for motor vehicles. Compulsory alcohol tests where drivers are suspected of drunken driving also were recommended as part of a campaign to stem the climbing traffic fatality rate in Alberta. "Mr .Macdonald, now the sole Legislature member of the Independent Party which provided the official opposition from 1940 to 1948, praised some of the policies of the Social Credit Government, partic ularly in civil defence and natural gas conservation. Sharpest criticism of the Government in today's debate was directed by W. F. Gilliland (S.C.— Peace River) against brush burning regulations announced by Provincial Forestry Director E. S.

The bill would remove completely from the Coal and Petroleum Products Control Board all power to regulate prices in the petroleum industry. The board's control over grades and standards would also be wiped out, It would be given power, however, to control and supervise construction of service stations and other premises where petroleum* products are kept for sale. Controls were placed on the sale of oil and gasoline some 11 years ago in British Columbia. Removal of controls was forecast in the speech from the throne. Pri vate members have stated the lifting of controls would encourage oil companies to expand in the province.. The Legislature was told management and labor should get together and agree to rules on which labor legislation can be based. Arthur Ash (Cln.—Saanich) said he believed an agreement could be based on acceptance of certain principles: 1. That Increased prosperity for all involves the highest degree of production at wages assuring a steady advancement of the standard of living. '.. . 2. That the rights of private property >and'"free choice of action are the foundation of our province's expanding economy. 3. That management has an Inherent right to direct the operations of an enterprise. 4. That labor has fundamental rights to organize and engage in collective bargaining. 5. That cooperation must govern the building of an economy which will protect the individual against the hazards of unemployment, old age and physical impairments beyond his control. "Politics should be taken out of labor and management relations, stated Mr. Ash. A permanent council of management and labor could be created to concern itself not with collective bargaining but with the broader aspects of relations." share in European defence.

Rockingham, the 25th's commander. They may end tomorrow. A question about embarkation leave for the 5000 men going to Korea was asked in the Commons by George Hees (P.C—Toronto Broadview) today but he got no answer other than a promise to get an answer.

ANNE DE BELLEVUE, Que., Feb. 27 (CP) — Agriculture Minister Gardiner said today that Canadian food producers have two primary objectives — to produce enough food for "our own people" and to sell at a sufficiently high price to encourage them to keep on producing. Mr. Gardiner spoke at Macdonald College here and formally opened the ' fourth Macdonald College Royal—a students' show designed to show the public how the college assists Canadian agriculture .In the solution of its problems. Mr. Gardiner, who returned yesterday from England where he discussed possible food contracts between Britain and Canada, said the agricultural picture has' changed greatly during the 38 years in which he has been associated with the Government "There is less difficulty in selling agricultural surpluses than at any other time that I can recall," he said. . Canadian farmers were always hopeful that they could produce sufficient so that Canada would be able to sell to other countries in need. But there was less to self today because Canadians were consum Ing more than ever before. There was practically no difficulty, with tha exception of cheese, In sell Ing all the dairy production In Canada, There was no difficulty in disposing of beef and pork products and little difficulty In disposing of crops except in the case of potatoes and apples. One of the main'reasons it was difficult to sell the potato surplus was because the United States had subsidized too high production in that country, making it difficult to sell Canadian potatoes. Mr. Gardiner said there Is al ways difficulty In disposing of butter surplus Canada has. because of the high production cost. New Zealand butter, which Mr. Gardiner said the Government did not want to see brought Into Canada, was laid down at Halifax at a cost of 40,4 cents a pound. „ The floor price in Canada was 53 cents. Canadian farmers could not compete with New Zealand butter. The butter dealers were selling the imported butter at 56V4 cents a pound. "The market price in this country must be comparatively high," said the minister. - He had no comment about wheat negotiations in Britain.

The main objective was to find and kill Reds withdrawing after their East flank defences were crushed Tuesday. A secondary objective was to win control of the road which bisects the Peninsula from Kang- nung on the East to Seoul on the West. CROSSED HAN On the long-quiet Western front, an Allied patrol Tuesday night crossed the Han River and fought its way into the suburbs of Red-held Seoul, It later withdrew. Canadian, British and New Zea- lnd troops sloshed through the thawing, slppery terrain to capture a hill five miles Southeast of Yong- du in one of the stiffest of Tuesday's fights. New Zealand artillery helped drive off the Chinese, estimated at baftalion strength. The hill, barring an Allied advance, had been defended fiercely by the Reds for a week. The hill is in the triangle formed by Yongduri, Chipyong and Hoengsong. It was in this area that the Commonwealth 27th Brigade, with the 2nd Battalion, Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry, Tuesday fought off an enemy force estimated at 2000. A communique from Gen. Mac- Arthur's Headquarters said patrols, hampered by the thaw, encountered determined enemy positions one to three miles beyond the United Nations' positions. South Koredji sources today dij- closed a commando-type raid Sunday to the Republic's marines on the West Coast within, five miles of the 38th Parallel. The Marines stormed ashore from naval vessels near Ongjin, 90 miles West and slightly North of Seoul, It is on a Peninsula which juts South from North Korea. CAPTURE DOCUMENTS Korean sources at Pusan said the raiders killed' a Communist Brigade Commander and 20 other Red offic ers. They also captured enemy equipment and documents before returning lo their ships. The main weight of a 100,000-man Allied drive, aimed at shoving more than 110,000 Chinese and North Koreans out of South Korea, press> ed on the Central front. Tanks and troops of the 7th Division Tuesday crumpled North Korean defences North of Pangnim and sent the Reds fleeing into the mountains. It was West of Pangnim that .the troops seized eight miles of the vital East-West highway. It winds West for 28 miles from Pangnim to the highway hub of Hoengsong. U.S. 7th and 2nd Division soldiers seized dominating hills Norlh of the highway. Men of the second won Hill No, 825, after beating off five North Korean counter-attacks. The U.S. 1st Marine Division, holding high ground around war- wrecked Hoengsong, said Chinese •North of the highway junction appeared to be withdrawing North. Hoensong itself was a "No Man's Land." 1950 Police Depl. Revenue Up 19% Nelson Police Department revenue last year was up almost $3000 or more than 19 percent over 1949, a report from the City .Clerk's office shows. , Income from parking fines, parking meters and Police Court fines totalled $17,367.60 as compared with $14,578.91 the previous year. Biggest gain was in Police Court fines and costs levies which rose from $6911.67 in 1949 to $8519 in 1950. Parking meter collections rose by $1162.36 to $7750.60 during the past year. The $1 fines levied for overtime meter parking showed a slight increase from a total of $1080 to $1098 during this period. Peak period for parking Infractions is during the Summer season when traffic is heaviest with Saturdays, especially with hockey hockey games or other events on, being the heaviest day for infractions. Most penalties are incurred, according to Police Chief Robert Har- shaw, by motorists parking carelessly and obstructing driveways. Parking in pedestrian lanes or too close to hydrants are also common offences.

Hypnotism Show Is Held Over Dr. Robert (Tex) Morton, the all- round showman who won over his audience in Capitol Theatre Monday and Tuesday nights as well as his "committee" of hypnosis testers, is staying on tonight and Thursday. 'He packed the house with his stunts and demonstrations of combined hypnosis and mesmerism. He had his dozen or so "guinea pigs" from the audience go through the laughs (and tears) of a movie, row boats, play the violin before the King and Queen under his spell, and even woke them up amnesia victims temporarily. One of his final and most applauded acts was of post auto suggestion, where he drilled into one of his dead-asleep "committee members" that, when awake, he would return to his seat and stand and shout "cock-a-doodle-do." The lad did just that. Survey Canadian Milifary (amps OTTAWA, Feb. 27 (CP) — The Defence Department has been quietly surveying many of the military camps which sprang up i in 'the last war and have not been used since. Considerably more space will be needed by the armed forces because of their expansion. But, .officials said today it should not be assumed •that the visit of military officers on an inspection trip necessarily means the revival of the camp in any given area. , They were commenting on reports that the wartime air base at Claresholm, Alta., is going to be reopened as an R.C.A.F. training base In connection with the the plan to train more than. 1000 Atlantic Pact airmen In Canada annually. An R.C.A.F. spokesman said no decision has been reached about Claresholm and that no statement can be made in the meantime. Figures published today by the Defence Construction Limited pointed up another feature of the rearmament program — a heavy slurge on construction or renovation of barrack blocks. Contracts for barracks and living quarters were announced for -the navy base at Deep Brook, N.S., the air bases at Chatham, N.B., North Bay Ont.; Clinton, Ont., and Whitehorse, Yukon. And Army bases at Petawawa, Camp Bordon and Bar- riefield, Ont, Officials said contracts are being placed under three general headings fpr the R.C.A.F. and that the same pattern applies fairly generally to the other services. For permanent bases, certain new buildings are of masonry and steel. Others are of steel superstructure with wooden walls, not only on the permanent bases butalso on certain operational bases being put into use again'. The third category includes new construction and repair of wartime buildings on the new training schools. The new buildings will be of the same type—primarily wooden—as those erected in the last war except that they will have concrete foundations instead of wood.

Identifies Collazo In ShoOtihg Attempt WASHINGTON, Feb. 27- (AP)' — White House Officer Donald Bird- zell, cane in hand, limped across the courtroom today and identified Oscar Collazo as the man who shot him down during an attempt to assassinate President Truman last Nov. 1. Collazo, charged with murder in the death of another White House guard, showed no emotion when Birdzell, asked if he recognized the man who shot him without warning replied: "He's sitting right there behind the defence attorney." As the murder trial completed its second day, the government demanded that Collazo, 37-year-old member of the Puerto Rican Nationalist party, dies in the electric chair for the death of White House guard Leslie Coffelt. Pay for Restrictions WINNIPEG, Feb. 27 (CP)—John McDowell (PC—Ibvcrvillc) said in the Manitoba Legislature today that the people of Canada now are paying for wartime price restrictions. Speaking against a C.C.F. resolution asking Federal price controls, Mr. McDowell said controls during the Second World War are responsible for present conditions. He used wheat as an example. He said there are no price restrictions in Ontario and Ontario No. 2 mixed Winter wheat sells for $2.22 a bushell at country points. Control of wheat prices in the Prairie Provinces means that the farmer three only received $1.87 a bushel for Manitoba No. 1 hard, a substantially higher 'grade. The debate was adjourned by George Oliver (CCF—Kildonan- Transcona).

Some Societies Rule Branded Sex Practices Normal NEW YORK, Feb. 27 (AP) — Almost all sex practices branded wrong by Americans are considered normal by some other human societies today, two Yale University professors report in a new book, 'Patterns of Sexual Behavior." Their book is a kind of expanded Kinsey Report comparing 190 different human societies over the world, and sex practices among many animals from apes to mice. The authors are Dr. Clellan S. Fprd, associate professor of anthropology, and Dr. Frank A. Beach, professor of psychology. The publishers are Harper & Brothers. A man can have more than one wife in about 80 per cent of these other societies, "If he can arrange to do so." But in half of them, the man has as, a rule .just one wife. A woman can have extra husbands in two groups, the Toda of India and the Marquesans of Polynesia. It's preferred that she does. Some groups encourage women to take the initiative in sex. Some encourage children to in, dulge in sex play to learn about sex. And under certain conditions, some societies even permit homosexuality. As for sex appeal, there are "few if any universal standards." But in a majority of societies, the plump woman rather than the slim one is more attractive. In some gorups, the shape and color of the eyes, or shape of the ears, .is significant in sex appeal, Their book is a fact-finding study to give humans a more intelligent insight into human sexuality, Drs. Ford and Beach said, with no attempt . at moralizing. The only universal taboo, the authors report, is against incest. CHARGED WITH MURDER SAULT STE.

Cunliffe, Here Since 1910, Previously in Rossland, Passes Kiwanis Broadcast To Be Heard Here Broadcast of the Kiwanis Club program from Vancouver Thursday, commemorating thev 36th anniversary of Kiwanis International, will be carried by CKLN. The program at 1:30 p.m. will include musical as well as instructive features. "Our great purpose is to serve the youth and children of Canada," Lieut.-Colonel T. H. Mundy, Salvation Army Territorial Young People's* Secretary, Toronto, said in Nelson Tuesday. Lieut-Col. Mundy spoke at Nelson Monday night on "Faith in God," and also gave a talk to the Salvation Army hobby class. He was in Rossland over the weekend for the annual Young Peoples Councils which include Cranbrook, Fernie, Nelson, Trail and Rossland. "We endeavor by various means to balance youth in a decidedly unbalanced world," the speaker said. There were four major factors in accomplishing this: the right home life; the influence of the church; the contribution of the school and the general community service. A real balance in life could be obtained by spiritual, social, physical and mental tuition. No one could achieve a healthy condition of life If the church life was neglected, he continued. Sport and recreation were necessary, but must not become the main platform, Just a plank in the platform. The Salvation Army had in Canada 2000 young men and women enrolled in a six-year course of Bible study. Each year, mpre than 1000 gathered in music camps where they were trained' in the theory and practise of musical instruments and voice. Fellowship, Guide and Scout camps were also contributing to help youth find a balance. The Army maintained that youth could not be ultimately helped until they were willing to tread the way 'of life as revealed by Christ. Once youth fell in love with Him, He provided the necessary balance. One of the chief contributing factors of child and youth delinquency was the breaking down of family life, lack of church attendance by parents, "and certainly turning Sunday into Funday did not produce a balance personality. If Christ is the way for youth today, then certainly He is the solution for life in all age groups." The Canadian territory of the Army included Bermuda and Newfoundland. In that limit were 400 centers of religious work. This was in addition to the many-hospitals, hostels for men and women, Eventide Homes for_men and Sunset Homes for aged women and many children's homes. Rubber Ban Will Have Little Affect On Sporting Goods CHICOPEE, Mass., Feb. 27 (AP) —How will the American sportsman fare under the government's new edict curtailing the use of natural rubber in 40,000 products? At present it looks as if he won't have to forego any of his cherished athletic activities in 1951 for lack of sports equipment, Luther E. Coleman, vice-president of the leader in the sporting goods industry, A. G. Spalding & Bros., sums it up like this: "I feel that we can operate with these new percentages allowed under the rubber order." That order, issued Monday by the National Production Authority, limits the use of natural rubber to 85 per cent in golf balls, 10 per cent in baseball centres, 81 per cent in tennis balls, and 53 per cent in inflatable athletic balls such as footballs and basketballs. Coleman, a member of the industry group which sat in on government meetings concerning the rubber order, says that natural rubber percentages allowed "approximate" those now being.used in golf balls and the other items mentioned. "With the new order, we'll be allowed to continue production of most of our rubber Items, but the over-all production will be limited to the monthly allowance of rubber permitted by the N.P.A.," Coleman says. It looks as If golfing duffers won't be able to blame their 90- yard drives on the equipment — not this year.., ... Conference on Cily Bus Service Proposed as Council Hears Prolesfs Representatives of Interior Stages, operators of the City bus service in Nelson, will be invited to meet City Council in a conference on the transportation service. Interested members of the public will be invited to attend, or to turn in written submissions. Council on Monday night discussed the situation after, reading a letter from Guy Mayo protesting various aspects of the bus service. Mr. Mayo had been invited to offer suggestions for improvement of the bus schedules, recently placed on a 40-minute basis. Mr. Mayo said he was not in a position to do so, for it would require a lot of study over some weeks, a job for an expert n transportation. He thought Council could obtain figures on the number of passengers carried on uphill and Fairview routes from which a "fair schedule could be arrived at." As a route alternative he would want more information on street conditions, as he was sure "a good number" were not fit for heavy buses. If one bus continued on its present route, the other should travel the opposite way and take income streets not served by the present route, but which had been served by the streetcars, he claimed. Council "at the very least" had a strong moral responsibility to use its influence to get service for former streetcar patrons "considering it was the City Council who used their influence to deprive these residents of the streetcars and then did not see that the buses covered them." The matter of times and stops should also be inquired into, Mr. Mayo said. He said he had found he could not rely on scheduled times, and that in order to be sure of catching a bus he walked six blocks rather than two blocks up a steep hill to the nearest stop. At some points the buses stopped at two or three intersections in a row, and in others at every other one. He thought they should stop at all corners if requested. He sometimes wondered, he wrote, if the' bus company cared very much about the Nelson business and wanted to "pull out." • He said ,a three-week check of the bus leaving Fairview at 1:10 p.m. daily had beeh made, and "on no trip" were there less than 18 passengers, "generally 22 or 23", but that "inspite of this" the trip was taken off.". Unless Council "gets a little tough" there would either be -no transportation services within year or so, or he feared patrons would be paying 12% or 15 cents or more for bus rides. Because of "lack of interest shown by Council to the last concession, they will be forming the opinion they can get all they ask and will be applying for a raise in fares," Mr. Mayo con tended. Aid. Alex Sutherland said the service was "very unsatisfactory" and he had heard "another company" was ready to "take over tomorrow" if Interior Stages wished to "dispose of it," "It looks as though they don't want it," commented Aid. S. J. Newell, who said it seemed to him that the City had been "sold a lem- W. M. CUNLIFFE William M. Cunliffe, Rossland pioneer and a prominent figure in Nelson life for 40 years, died Tuesday morning in Kootenay Lake General Hospital.

Cranbrook Offices Rushed Handling Kimberley Car License Applicants Too CRANBROOK, B.C., Feb. 27 — Lack of a Provincial Government licensing office at Kimberley was complicating affairs this week at the Provincial Government office in Cranbrook when the localpeak of applications for new car licences was nearly submerged under the flood of Kimberley applicants. Until .this year the Provincial Police have issued the car licences at the Kimberley Police Station for applicants'of that area but the ser vice was discarded when the R.C. M.P. contract came into effect. , Cranbrook office normally issues under 1000 licences during February, about half of them the final week of the month. The Kimberley applicants, who total around 1500 each year, began with a rush Saturday. There was some doubt as to whether the combined business could be handled by months' end.

To science, even what is good exists only to be improved. Now—after many years' careful research—science presents an important step forward in the relief of common pain. It is called DISPRIN. , DISPRIN is soluble and substantially neutral. When taken in water as recommended, it enters the stomach as a true solution and not as undissolved particles. It is therefore less liable to cause stomach discomfort. DISPRIN is readily absorbed. Because ft definitely dissolves (not merely disintegrates) DISPRIN permits speedy absorption and gives quicker relief. DISPRIN «V palatable. Even children will take it readily. Science Progresses. For 50 years we have used little white tablets—acctylsalicylic acid—for relief of pain. Today this familiar pain-killer is available in a new form without the disadvantages of acidity, insolubility and bitter taste. It is called DISPRIN, and is sold at druggists everywhere. Science steps forward with DISPRIN ...FOR PAIN RELIEF DISPRIN is now available at your Druggist.

Recipes. . . These Take Eggs Aplenty By MARGARET CARR We've been waiting somewhat impatiently for the time -to come when we could go hog wild- with eggs, and it would appear that now is the hour.. Actually, eggs are one of those things which we should never economize on unless we absolutely have to do so. They are an excellent source of protein and iron, and are rich in vitamin A and the B-com- plex vitamins. At least 3 or 4 eggs per week, and preferably an egg a day for every member of the family is one of the rules for adequate nutrition. EGG CROQUETTES Three tablespoons fat, Vi cup diced onion, Yt cup flour, 1 cup milk, 1 cup grated cheese, % cup fine bread crumbs, % teaspoon salt, Vi teaspoon dry mustard, 2 tablespoons horseradish, 1 tablespoon chili sauce or catsup, Yt teaspoon powdered thyme, 5 hard-cooked eggs, chopped. Melt fat, add onion and cook 5 minutes. Add flour and blend well. Add milk and cook, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens. Continue to cook 5 minutes. Add grated cheese, bread crumbs and seasonings. Stir, until cheese is melted. Add chopped hard-cooked eggs and mix well. Chill thoroughly. Shape into patties or croquettes and roll in bread crumbs.

B.C Flagstaff Towers Over Festival Grounds LONDON, Feb. 27 (CP)—Seven tons of British Columbia, timber, shaped into Britain's largest unsupported flagstaff, were formally transferred today to the sponsors of the Festival,of Britain. L. Dana Wilgress, Canada's High Commissioner in London, ran up the first flag on the 102-foot-high staff, remarking in a speech that British Columbia has been famous for tall timber since the day Captain Cook, the explorer, remasted his ships off Nootka Sound. The ceremony took place in a restaurant in the Royal Festival Hall, a square, multi-windowed building which is expected to be one of the main attractions for visitors when the festival opens in May. The restaurant overlooks a wide sweep of the Thames River between.the Houses of Parliament and St. Paul's Cathedral. The flagstaff is a gift of the British Columbia Government to the people of London. It was originally intended for the London County Council, whose flagpole was damaged during the war. An L.C.C. spokesman said he believes the donation was made partly because the Council has long encouraf the use of'B.C. wood in Britain. Other flagstaffs of B.C. timber here are the 82-foot staff at the Tower of London and the 215-foot staff in Kew Gardens. The latest one is said to be the largest unstayed flagstaff in the country. AYouthful Throatline By IDA JEAN KAIN In Hollywood an actress must never, never acquire even a suspicion of a double chin or a dowager's hump. So let's look into some of their tricks for warding off these signs of age that seem to plague the rest of us. Ninty-five percent of keeping a beautiful throat is balanced head carriage. Here's the test; the lobe of the ear (the earring spot) should be on a straight, vertical line with the shoulders. The tip of the chin should be level—not tipped up or down, but held level. With that head carriage, a double chin hasn't a chance. Nor has a tell-tale hump at the back of the neck, For practice in correcting head carriage, keep pulling,up with the line at the back of the neck. Try to hold that line almost straight. And keep shoulders down and easy. I like to think of it.as squaring the shoulders in a beautifully relaxed way. Now we're ready to tackle a double chin or a lined throat. What it takes is a bit of bracing exercise to firm muscles and tissues on the inside, arid cream to keep the skin smooth on the outside. Massage the cream into the skin upward with the muscle structure. It's a good plan to put cream or oil on before execising as this makes the skin pliable. With throatline exercise, the trick is to work the muscles wtihout stretching the skin. For this reason the easy exercise of turning the head to look over one shoulder, then tipping the chin up and .down from that position is foolproof. When head is turned first, the skin is not stretched as point of chin is tipped up and down. Repeat four to six times alternating sides. And here's a Bracing exercise that brings in all the neck muscles. Lying on back on bed, shoulders on bed. let head hang over the edge . .. then bring head up to a straight line with the body. Get the feeling of pushing your head out from your neck as you lift. Repeat not more than three times. Finish the routine by splashing cold water on a thin coating of cream . . . most of it can be wiped off and still leave the skin soft. High Wage Boosts Threaten Taxes VICTORIA, B.C., Feb. 27 (CP)— Victoria is confronted with wage demands totalling more than $257,- 000 from its civic employees. This is equivalent to about 5% mills. It is exclusive of other increased expenditures such as added school costs, debt charges and superannuation costs. Indications are, however, that the city intends to oppose to the limit any wage boosts it feels are not justified. City policemen, refused wage increases earlier this year, settled for ncreaped superannuation benefits, firemen have asked wage boosts totalling $58,800; -the city's inside staff, $45,700; outsiHe staff, $78,000; teachers, $70,000 and- electricians, $4500. Echo Flight of Snow Owls Seen PORT ARTHUR, Ont.-, (CP) Snowy owls, which appear in large numbers at the Lakehead at four- year intervals, are making an "echo flight" this Winter. Few snowy owls have been re corded in the Eastern part of the continent, but they have been ob served here in large numbers. An echo flight is one following an appearance of large numbers of birds, but is of smaller dimensions and confined to a smaller area. A similar echo flight occurred in Western Canada ill 1946-47 following the regular flight'of' 1S4S-46" More than 40 snowy owls have been reported by members of the Naturalists Club and others at the Lakehead this Winter. They perch on high vantage points, telephone poles and flagpoles, and remain mo tionless for long "periods. The snowy owl is the only white owl without ear tufts. It stands 25 inches tall, and has a wingspan of 5lA feet. It hunts by day,' preferably at dawn and twilight, and invariably in the open. Its whistling, tremulous call is seldom heard. Its plumage is white or greyish, darker in females and immature owls. The feathers may be barred, and flight is erratic. GREY OWLS TOO Unusual numbers of great grey owls have also been recorded at the Lakehead this "Winter. This owl is normally an inhabitant of the Arctic tundras and forest regions of Northern Canada from Hudson Bay to Alaska. It invades more Southern latitudes when its food supply, small mammals and birds, runs short. The great grey owl stands 28 inches tall and has a wingspan of five feet. It sits hawklike, at a slant, and puffs ils plumage out to increase its bulk. This owl lives in dense forests ond wooded mountains and rarely hunts in the ooen. Great grey owls have not visited the Lakehead in numbers for 40 years. British Rainfall Exceeds Records LONDON, Feb. 27 (AP)—Britain has had more rain since New Year's Day—a total of 7.85 inches^than in any other January and February since 1879. That's when the Weather Bureau started keeping such*rte ords. Previously the wettest January and February came in 1937- 7.80 inches of rain. Power Workers Join Slrikers AUCKLAND, N.Z., Feb. 27 (Reuters)—New Zealand's Industrial crisis worsened today as more than 1000 electricity workers walked out In support of dock workers who went on strike a week ago. Army convoys poured onto Wellington docks and troops began moving food unloaded by airmen from two coasters earlier. At Auckland, 80 servicemen began discharging butter from two ships, while hundreds of Idle stevedores lined the' pavements 'around the dock area. No incidents were reported. Other groups who came out In support of the dockmen after the introduction of servicemen were coal miners, railway engineers and abattoir workers, Wellington butchers have only enough meat for today, and killings will take place only twice a week for priority needs such as hospitals. Shortage of flour has led to fears of a bread famine. No ordinary road or rail transport arrived at Wellington piers today. New Zealand dockers have been on strike for wage increases. The Government has declared a state of emergency. Almost every port in the country is at a standstill, First Details of Defence Projects OTTAWA, Feb. 27 (CP) — The government gave its first details today of the big defence projects construction program being launched in Canada, including the building of new and improved barrack blocks at most sea,- air and army In a statement by the government's crown agency—the Defence Construction Limited—contracts of almost $13,000,000 were announced, including one for construction at Whitehorse, Yukon, on the important Northwest staging route. Largest of the contracts—one for $1,646,000—went to Bird Construction Ltd., Lethbridge, Alta., for bar rack blocks and messes at Camp Shilo, Man., big artillery and paratroop training centre. RADIO STARS FIND VIDEO ABSORBING By WAYNE OLIVER NEW YORK (AP)—Jack Benny says radio programs will have to be good from now on to stand up to television competition. If they are good they can hold their own a Ions time. When he was here for his sec ond television" show recently the Hollywood comedian said; "I don't think people are going to watch week in and week out just because they hove television. I think if they have both'radio and television—and practically everyone who has television also has radio—they're going to pick and choose." Enjoying the highest audience rating for any individual radio performer, Benny is nevertheless a television enthusiast? ' .- "I like it because I'm stage struck," he confesses. "It brings me back to the stage—and I got my start in vaudeville." HAPPY ON TV Another television star is likewise a radio veteran—Fred Allen, The ' nasal-voiced comedian had been doing'radio in Hollywood for 6ix years including a 13-week full network stint last Summer when he came East in December to start a five-a-week television series for CBS. Two weeks later, when Arthur Godfrey was delayed on a flight back from Miami, Allen took over that night's "Talent Scouts" program and was a sensation. Allen is continuing his own early evening TV series and has just done two more turns as a substitute for Godfrey. The "Talent Scouts" show is claimed by CBS to have the largest broadcast audience of any program on the air. The network figures its total listeners at 22,000,000 every week. He is an excellent example of how a veteran star can capture television. Both on his own show and on Godfrey's Allen has demonstrated his ability and versatility as a cornic. More than that, he has shown a gift for making stars out of his guests, including those from the studio audience.

Twenty persons have died in the last half century in search of the mine in the upper reaches of Pitt River, a mountainous district 45 miles North of Vancouver. Alfred Gaspard may be the 21st victim. He has not been heard .from in seven months. He was flown into Pitt Lake headquarters in July and two weeks later a second plane dropped him 400 pounds of food enough to last a bush-wise prospector about five months. Prospectors saw him the next two or three days in the rugged country and then he disappeared. In November, R.C.M.P. officers made an aerial search, but bad weather halted the hunt. Today an R.C.M.P. constable and a guide started a ground search. Friends said Gaspard had been facinated by the tales of the lost mine. Legend has It that an Indian discovered the mine In 1890, com Ing out with a fortune of gold to New Westminster, B.C. The In dian, named Slumach, made sev eral trips to the mine, each time returning with a pack of gold. He died on the gallows In 1892 at New Westminster, after confessing the . murder of eight women. Each trip he took an Indian woman to the mine. None returned and he kept the location of "Lost Creek" secret. One American, who came back with a fearsome tale of hardship and disaster and a packload of $10,000 in gold, died a, short time later. He said the creek lost itself in a mountain tunnel, but he gave no other details. Twenty other men have hunted fc the lost mine. None returned.

Gives Blankets To Hospital ' KASLO, B.C., Feb. 27 — In celebration of the 54th anniversary of the founding of the Women's Institute movement, a special open house tea and bake sale was held here at the home of Mrs. H. Carlson. During a short business meeting, the secretary reported that six woolen blankets received from a woolen mill had been donated to Kaslo Victorian Hospital. A donation was made toward furnishing a room in the new women's residence at University of British Columbia. Mrs. Carlson, secrelaryy, was appointed delegate to the Women's Institute convention in Kinnaird in May. Mrs. M. McGregor conducted a program of contests. Mrs. R. N. W. Shillington gave an amusing monologue and Mrs. J. Tonkin read a short story written by a Kaslo girl. Mrs. Page also gave a reading entitled "A Green- Girl Goes Harvesting." "For three days and nights 1 could not sleep. I almost had ulcers." Of course when, she made her decision it was "South Pacific." How could a girl only a few years out of Duvall, Wash., turn down what she herself calls "the most wonderful part in the world"? So along-about June 1, when Mary Martin leaves "South Pacific" 24- year-old Martha will take over the job. | , Martha now sings nightly, at the Mayflower Hotel here. At the end of her three-week engagement she will knock off work except for a few/ television appearances and get ready for "South Pacific." LEARNED FROM GRANNY The girl from Duvall got her start from her grandmother, now 77, who taught Martha music. Martha's first professional job was in Seattle as a radio singer.

Makeup King Predicts Return Of Moustache to Popularity Now Vitamin D increased, creamy-smooth Pacific Milk odds extra nourishment to favorite recipes. Its uniform goodness makes it ideal for baking, cooking or beverages. And Pacific whips easily for party meals. Pacific Milk "Vacuum Packed and Homogenized" 4IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII By BOB THOMAS HOLLYWOOD. Feb. 27 (AP)— The return of the moustache to popularity was predicted today by Makeup King Max Factor, Jr. "The moustache is bound to in- rrease in public esteem," observed Factor, "because it can't get any lower. Take a look at some of the film stars who have shaved theirs off—Tyrone Power, Robert Taylor. Errol Flynn. "Movie .stars lead the. fashions but they also follow. And when the public says it doesn't like moustaches, they are shaved off." But factor, an expert on male as well as female beauty, feels a reaction setting in. He attributes this to United States' mobilization. REMEMBER THE WAR "Remember the moustache crop in 1943 and 10447" he cited. "Men got away from their mothers and wives and sweethearts and fulfilled long-held desires to grow moustaches. But nearly all of the men were forced by the women to shave them off on the return from the wars." "Soldiers in today's army will have even more motive for growing them. Most of them are boys in their teens or early 20s. Like all boys, they want to look older.." Moustaches need as much care and thought as a garden hedge, Factor said. For those with ambitions of growing one (a moustache not a hedge), he offered these words of aavice: Don't try to gfow a Ronald Col- man moustache on an Oliver Hardy face. In fact, don't grow anything on an Oliver Hardy face. It would only do what it does for Hardy- get laughs. The Ronald Colman moustache, clipped but not too military, offers the best model for the average face.

At the meeting' they had successfully won the support of the Central Institute in the bid of their Arrow Lakes section for a Deer Park to Syringa Creek road or trail. Returning to their ranch home's in an open boat, they came near losing their lives from a storm and the cold. "... the spray from the waves I turned to ice as soon as they struck | us. Our clothes were frozen so hard that we had great difficulty in walk- Ling after we landed ..." they (Patrick |.; Romaine, Roy Coleman and A. A. Phelps) wrote to Central Institute Secretary Kenneth Wallace of Boswell. Imagine the plight of a sick or injured person under such conditions should necessity decree he be brought out from the isolated-ranching area for medical attention. One such injured ,vman could not be moved to^ hospital for three days because of Winter lake conditions. The communities and Deer Park | and Broadwater, and across the lake, Renata, have been long established. They make important contributions to the fruit'and egg production of the West Kootenay; in the area exists one of the District's few sizeable sheep ranches. Their need for an additional link wilh main travel arteries to end their isolation and improve economic conditions is a real one. Certainly their request for an emergency trail, if not a road, to cover the four miles barring them from access to the Southern Trans-Provincial Highway, is not unreasonable. By GRETCHEN GIBSON This is the delectable season when it Is said we have two Summers and one Winter ahead of us. Pleasant thought, that,—even though in six months the reverse will be tr(ue. After all, in spite of the cold snap of six weeks back and the present show and ice, or slush (depending on the thermometer), it has not been a bad Winter this year; and although we may envy our friends who roam the Southern lanes, there is something in the hardships of Winter faced and-grappled with that gives us a certain equal-to-the-occaslon satisfaction. There are'times when the month of February presents much the same aspect as November—the same dismal days, the same dreariness of landscape, skeleton trees and leafless shrubbery against drab evergreens; and yet how diversely these two months affect us! It makes such a difference towards what we face! In November we face Winter, in February, Spring. Almost subconsciously February brings us an uplift of spirit. Although we moan that we have had enough of Winter (and goodness knows we have!), while snows continue to fall and winds to swish /through our blocked highways, and we continue to break, our hips and artkles as we make our slippery ways hither and thither—yet in spite of all that the days are lengthening, the first robin has been reported, the first snowdrop discovered, and we know Time must presently reach Spring in its inevitable March . . . (No pun intended.) February has brought us some beautiful effects — snow-laden trees — a crystallized world — Kokanee, a monarch "clothed in white samite, mystic, wonderful".... A week or so ago newspapers stated that in certain sections of the country the planets Venus and Mars in conjunction had been mistaken for a flying saucer. Early one clear evening, about that time, we here, looking above the C.P.R. station, could see these two planets, with the new moon slanting over them. They did not appear as a saucer, but as twin planets, one slightly rudy, the other dazzling white. It was a vision of promise in the evening sky—Venus, the Goddess of Love, and Mars, God of War, making together this stellar appearance with earth's own satellite, the moon. February gave us this tableau, which we will not see again for a long time. We .would of course pooh- pooh the thought, but how cheering its "significance might be! Experiment to Better Children's Teeth The Windsor Board of Health is undertaking an experiment by arranging to have 200 school pupils receive sodium fluoride treatment to their teeth. There is much support for the theory fluoride is effective in prevention of tooth decay, effecting a 40 per cent reduction" in test cases in the United' States. If it is found effective, there will be (or should be) an irresistible demand that all children have their teeth so treated. It is a fact defective teeth contribute to many physical ailments. Before the war, the teeth of Nelson District school pupils were described as having "more holes than Kootenay roads". The public program since'has ., had some success in improving Kootenay roads; just what success any teeth- improving program that may have been undertaken has had has never been announced. At' any rate, the Windsor experiment can probably be watched with profit. Look Ndi*th Travel North and South across the border has been growing by leaps and bounds, and bids fair to expand further as employment and buying power rise. John A. Kennedy, Manager of the British Columbia Pacific Great Eastern Railway, is spending a few days seeing Seattle—seeing the city where most of his tourist trade comes from. He says Seattle people know more about their 347-mile P.G.E. Railroad than the people of Vancouver;'more of them travel it to see the scenic wonderland which the road penetrates. Improvement of the Oroville-Wenatchee Highway is another step encouraging greater North-South traffic, and the same applies to the Stevens Pass Highway. All of our tourist trade is important to us, but these British Columbia folks are our friends and neighbors. The more we see of them the belter, both here and up there. So if you haven't been up thai \yay and are uncertain where lo spend next Summer's vacation, look Northward.—Wenatchee World, ? Questions? ANSWERS Open to any reader.

After four days of negotiation, Gardiner admitted defeat. He told a press conference in London last Friday he had been unable to persuade Britain that any adjustment should be made. Canadian hopes ot an adjustment were based on a clause in the contract which said that regard would be paid in the last two years of the contract to the difference between the contract price and outside prices in the first two years.

Even after decid - Western International Hockey IfJa- gue meeting down in Spokane that all the playoffs would have referees from the cities not playing in the [series, a , Nelson arbiter and one Kimberley ref are calling the plays in the first two games of the semifinal series between the Leafs and the Dynamiters. Trail referees Curly Wheatley and Jimmy Morris, who were supposedly in line for the whistle chores in Kimberley, can not be held responsible in any way for not being able to 'get to Kimberley. It was'poor management somewhere along the line by the loop officials to have not ironed out all details well in advance. As far as we know, Gerry Petti- grew and Ron Pickell, who have handled games very competently without bias in Spokane, are still supposed to handle the games on Nelson ice. Billy Hryciuk and company got the first bite of the playoff cake, and took a big one, smearing the Leafs 9-2 in the opener, That sliced any Nelson odds considerably, though the Dynamiters may have done their scoring for a couple of games. George Barefoot, who has been jinxed tor years by playoff time injuries, may be in action tomorrow night as the Leafs ■ ontlnue their series in Kimberley, and Roy Allen, bedridden leftwinger may be able to answer the call if Wares needs him. In any case Roy will likely' be ready tor the Saturday game if needed. Wo will be able to contact Eddie Wares today for any changes of players or- policy.

Dynamiters Drub Leafs 9f2 Dominate Play in First Semi-Final Game; Leafs Weak Defensively KIMBERLEY, B.C., Feb. 27—Kimberley hockey fans went home happy tonight. Their home town Dynamiters jumped to a one game lead in the Kootenay semi-finals by.- soundly trouncing Eddie Ware's Maple Leafs 9-2, and they looked good doing lt. The Leafs, terribly weak defensively, never did get really going, and the West Kootenay club's puck blocker, Ed Matwick had more than his share of work to do. For Kimberley, the. powerful Hryciuk- Llvingstone-Sanderson line starred, scoring six of the nine local goals. Kimberley led 2-1 at the end of the first period, 6-1 by the end of the end of the second. The two teams play here again Thursday. Kimberley was without Injured Ray McNiven ahd Red Sutherland while Nelson saw defence star George Barefoot'and Roy Allen out of action. ' The first period, marred by three minor penalties by the Leafs, was usually, too close checking to be sensational, but several times fans were treated to fast break away hockey that brought them to their feet. Kimberley dominated the play, but a tight Leaf defence and some nice stops by Eddie Matwick slowed the Dynamiters considerably. First scoring of the evening came at 6:33, of the initial canto, Bill Hryciuk pushing the puck around Matwick who had sprawled, just as Wares returned to the ice after a holding penalty. When Niel McClenaghan was thumbed for holding at 14:00, Kimberley pressed for several minutes, speedy Bill Haldane broke away and Johnny Harms scored on a long screened drive, time 16:28. Wares was sitting out his second penalty, this time for boarding, when Barre scored after a Kimberley goal had been disallowed on Pontarellos rebound. MATWICK STARS The second period was a penalty free session, with Kimberley completely dominating the play. Only stellar net minding by Eddie Matwick, who was never afforded much defence, kept the Dynamiters to four goals. Twice the Leaf custodian had to stop Sammy Calles in. the clear with no Leaf near to help, and constantly he was called upon for unusually difficult saves. Sanderson parked, himself In front of Matwick to sl"0 Hryciuk's' pass home at 4:14, mc I ng the score 3-1. Sully Sullivan sent'Bell in for Klm- berleys fourth marker at 6:53. As the game roughened Sanderson took advantage of weak defensive play, Hryciuk and Livingstone assisting, to add the fifth. At 15:03 Livingstone finished second period scoring on a play with Hryciuk. The final period saw Kimberley again outscoring the Leafs, 3-1, Hryciuk had made it,7-1 on a lovely rush at 1:50, and then assisted Livingstone on the eighth Dynamiter goal at 9:17. Johnny Fargher, assisted by Jack Steele and McClenaghan, got Nelson's second marker at 15:19. Doug McDonald, along with pontarello and Barre, finished the scoring at 16:07. The game was on a whole, listless unspectacular hockey, with only play of play-off calibre evident in far-spread portions, Stops by goalies McLay 4-5-5—14; Matwick 12-14-13—39.

Vies for Vezina Trophy TORONTO, Feb. 27 (CP)—Al Rollins, six-foot-two goaltendlng thin man .started the National Hockey League season as understudy to veteran Turk Broda with Toronto Maple Leafs. Now he's threatening to walk off with the goaltending Vezina prize and the league's rookie award as well. . There isn't a hotter goallender In the league than the boy from Vanguard, Sask., who was in the nets for Edmonton Flyers when they won the Allan Cup Senior Hockey Crown in 1948. In 31 games—including one from which he had to withdraw after being hit over the eye with the puck —He has won 19, tied eight and lost four. He's allowed 57 goals for an average of 1.83 a game. The Vezina Trophy goes to the goalie who plays the most games for the team with the lowest goals against total over the 70-game schedule. So far Rollins and Broda have allowed 116 goals In 57 games. The closest competitor Is Detroit rookie Terry Sawchuck who has been beaten 125 times In 58 games. Most goals scored against Rollins in a single game was four. That happened only once when Detroit Red Wings turned the trick Dec. 13. He has had three shutouts—against the Wings, Montreal Canadiens and New York Hangers. His four defeats have been against Detroit, twice, the Rangers and .Chicago Black Hawks. The last-place Chicago Black Hawks are his toughest opposition. They've scored on him 21 times in nine games for an average of 2.33. Rollins hasn't pushed Broda off to the sidelines yet. Leaf plans are lo leave the rookie in until he's R0LLIN8 beaten—or looks bad, Then the Turk at 36 in what is probably his last season, may get the call again. TOUGHEST OPPOSITION Asked aoout the opposing player with Ihe. toughest shot to handle, Al says: Rocket Richard or Milt Schmidt—and I guess, Gord Howe. However, the Rocket hasn't scored on me yet and Howe got his first one here last week. It hit me but I never knew where lt was." Al says he'd had help in polishing his net technique from Hap Day, Leafs assistant general' manager, coach Joe Primeau and the Turk. "They've been getting me lo stand* up a little mdre and'arc helping to smooth out the rough spots," he says. "Turk helps too. We talk over Ihe games all the time."

You can do It with the gadget Matty Matthews is showing around town. It's a novel seven-clubs-in- one idea. This is a streamlined golf set designed to do away with caddies and bulky caddy wagons. Actually you can carry most of it in your shirt pocket. The full set weighs three pounds. The set is composed of one shalt and four club heads which, screwed in properly, make seven different [ implements—a driver-brassie, putter, chipper, and one, four, six and nine irons. You can. carry one club in your hand and all the rest—club heads, balls and tees—fit into a neat packet about the ,size of an average ladles' purse. "It's quite a handy tool and proving very popular In Florida and California," said Matthews, a former newspaper man turned drum- beater for the manufacturer. The pros haven't accepted it yet and neither has the U. S. Golf Association, which has a rule against removable heads. \ Matthews said -expert golfers, even pros, find the streamltoied equipment costs them no more than six strokes over round on first try. "Most of them said,they could, get accustomed to. the set and play just as well as with a full bag," he added. • It has an added time-saving device for the tempermental duffer. When he lobs one into the lake, it's not necessary to break up a whole set of clubs. One whack across the knee and he's out of business.

During 'throne speech debate, he said: "I cannot agree with those who would increase the Social Security and Municipal Aid Tax for the purpose of bolstering up the hospital insurance scheme. "This (three percent) tax was never meant to bolster up a scheme which was supposed to be self- supporting. "To raise the sales tax at this juncture would in my view tend to discourage the growth of industry in British Columbia." One method of putting the scheme on its feet would be to raise premiums to a point which would -take care of additional beds resulting from an increased population, he said. Indians in Ottawa To Discuss New Act OTTAWA, Feb. 27 (CP)—A rep- rcsentative group of Indians from across Canada will meet Citizenship Minister Harris tomorrow for a three-day discussion on the proposed revision of the Indian Act. Purpose of the meeting is to better acquaint the various Indian groups with the proposed amendments and changes in the old Indian Act and give them a chance to present their views. The amendments are based on an extensive study by a Joint Parliamentary Committee. The bill was first''introduced at the last session of Parliament but was withdrawn by the Government to give interested parties more time to study the bill. ' ■ .

In a speech on -the nation's bust ness program of a CBC National network, Mr. Drew said he is con vinced emergency controls have be come "absolutely necessary" to hold down the cost of living and to com bat inflation. "Inflation Is your business and mine," he said. "We have presented every argument we can in the House of Commons, but the govern' ment refuses to act. You still have it within your power to demonstrate that democarcy is in fact government of the people by the people themselves. "After all," he continued, "in ( democarcy the members of parliament are bound to pay attention to a clearly expressed demand from the people of their own constituency." "I respectfully urge you to write your own member to say that you want some definite action taken right away to bring into operation those emergency controls which are required to hold, down the cost of living . . ." "It is possible for confidence in our free economy to be destroyed unless steps are taken without further delay to bring inflation under control."

New Respirators For Gas Masks Being Studied OTTAWA, Feb. 27 (CP)-Canada is studying new types of respirators for gas masks and other equipment to combat a largely ordorless and invisible poison gas the Russians have in large quantities. s Officials, commenting on reports that Danish scientists- have started a research program to find a remedy for what they called the "sneaking death" gas, said Canada has been studying its potentialities and uses for some time. It is known here as the "nerve gas" because it can swiftly destroy the nerves and bring death. It would be quite possible for victims to be stricken before they were aware anything had happened, Defence authorities here say It Is not the worst gas yet developed but it Is the worst than can bs manufactured and put In weaptns for effective use. They say Its qualities have been overstressed but that It Is a "very powerful" gas. It Is described as "much better" than mustard gas. It was developed by the Germans in the last war and both the Russians and the Allies seized quanties of it in Germany at the end of the war. At least small quantities of It are available in Canada and have been used in the drive to find an answer to It. Largely in secrecy, Canada has been doing important work on chemical or gas warfare at Suffield, Alta. In fact, Canada did important work in that field in the last war which has never been made public. New Indian Bill Introduced OTTAWA, Feb. 27 (CP)-Citizen- ship Minister Harris said today a new bill making broad changes in the Indian Act is basically the same as one introduced in the Commons last Spring and later withdrawn. He made the statement in the Commons during debate on a resolution preliminary to the Indian bill. The Minister said this year's bill contains little new from the 1950 version, but there are "improvements" in some sections. The 1950 measure — withdrawn by the Minister for further study after Indian bands had complained they hadn't enough time to deal with it—rewrote the old Indian Act. The bill would have set up an Indian "register," In which only those of predominantly Indian blood would be recorded. It set up new procedures for management of reserves, simplified provisions for control of Indian funds and adopted new and uniform systems of electing chiefs and councillors. Tax exemptions on Indians' real and personal property on reserves were to be modified:1 " 5 Spectators Included some Indian leaders called from all parts of Canada by the Citizenship Minister to discuss with him the amendments to the Act. They heard a wrangle over whether a Special Committee of the House should be set up to deal with the changes, as asked by William Bryce (CCF--Selkirk). Mr. Harris said he would like to see the bill approved In principle, but would not object to a committee after that. C.C.F. and Progressive Conservative members argued that a committee could be set up without that formality, urging the House should not proceed hastily. Members generally agreed that the Indian Act should be revised and brought up to date, wilh a wide range of suggestions made. Mr. Bryce said the Government should stress on the education of Indians, and they should be compensated for loss of their ancient hunting and fishing rights, URGES EQUALITY John Blackmore (SC-Lethbridge) also said they should be given adequate education facilities. And they should be given equal'fty. before the law with the white man. Douglas Harkness (PC--Calgary Wesl) said Indians.should be given the right to appeal to the courts from the decisions of the minister. Unless this basic right was given them Canada's adherence to. the nited Nations bill of rights was a "farce." E, D. Fulton (PCKamloops) said the Indians In British Co- lumbla had problems far., different from those In other parts of Canada. There were no treaty Indians In British Columbia. The B.C. Indians felt either that there should be a separate act dealing with their problems or that they should be covered by a special section of the main act J. A. Simmons (L-Yukon-Mac- Kenzie River) urged that more be done now to improve housing and hygiene. The schools should teach trades. They should give courses in mining and in the handling of tractors, trucks and other vehicles used on construction projects. R. R. Knight (CCF--Saskatoon>, a schoolteacher, urged that more be spent on Indian education, which in the past had not been too successful. There should be more adequate facilities for manual training and home economics teaching.

Poullrymen to NEW WESTMINSTER, B.C., Feb. 27 (CP)—British Columbia poultry- men will meet in Vancouver March 10 to discuss preliminary plans for a national marketing service for eggs and poultry products. The plan is sponsored by the B.C. Federation of Agriculture and, it is claimed, would be a safeguard against inter-provincial dumping. "Six provinces have already enacted legislation under the national Products Marketing Act and at least Alberta, Manitoba and Ontario are ready to follow wilh marketing restrictions," said Charles Walls, Federation secretary. "They will dump surpluses here if we are not under the same umbrella." A similar scheme was rejected by B. C. poultrymen at a convention last year.
