Of course there's the odd remark, too, about the Icy sections of the hill, but this ice-just added tb the fun and everyone had to really ski to stay erect on the hickories. Some of the junior skiers are really progressing and it won't be long before some of the seniors had bet ter start thinking of retiring', but of course this Is one sport you can't get out of your blood once you have started. CARE OF EQUIPMENT When that'Sickening tight of, snow disappearing comes about, It is time for the skier.to he thinking of keeping or storing his equipment properly throughout the Summer. I realize that this seems to be hurrying the season, but many of these fine points hold while the season Is still in progress. The ski clothes should be stored In a-mothproof closet and before this Is done, they should be cleaned and pressed. The boots should be. well oiled or some Other protective applied to the leather. The boots should be put on a shoe tree or some other device to hold the soles flat, as the walking action has a strong tendency to curl up the toes of the boots, the laces.should be removed and the boot opened as wide as possible so that the leather Is under no- strain whatsoever, - Skis need a careful check. All screws missing from the steel edges should be bored out and replaced, the old wax should be removed and the .tops well cleaned. The skis then should be blocked in the. centre witha block about three Inches wide and the wheels and tips fastened. This blocking of the skis prevents the loss of camber or bend in the skis during the hot weather although lamianted skis have this camber built in. The tips should be spread for the same reason. Regular tip spreaders can be got. The Skit then should be placed away from heat during the rest of, the season. Keep that equipment In shape, you'll enjoy skiing more; With Stane And Besom Results of Tuesday night's games In the Nelson Curling Club's round robin competition follow: P. E. Poulin-6,, J.

West Kootenay Asset " Importance of the Castlegar airport td West Kootenay was heavily uhder- soored during the days of tough , weather in the first month of 1950, just ended.v Surfaoe transportation for a period bogged down under the impossible conditions of snow and sjides, and aircraft provided the only Canadian link between the District and ••Pacific Coast centres of. the Province.- ■-; That meant that only first class mail, airborne over the trouble sec- : tions, reached or was dispatched from the West Kootenay; and the importance of mail service, which with telephone and telegraph serves as the very- nerve system of business, needs no emphasis. It was at the Castlegar airfield that planes loaded or delivered this .'vital mail. This is not the first time that the field has proven its worth to the District, aside from its role in the six- days-weekly .air service connecting the C'^ast, Okanagan, Kootenay and Alber- ta'c (Planes lifting from the field have carried patients in a life and death race to skilled medical care. Statistics^ relating to ^he operation of -the field in 1949 give a further in- light into the role it has so recently Begun'.to play in West Kootenay life. (Janadian "Pacific Airlines made 587 landings in the year, carrying 900 to 1000 passengers into and from the field monthly. Approximately 150 pounds of I Incoming and outgoing mail were handled on'the average at each landing. j This wa's; of course, aside from the heavier chore performed in mail move- , inelit-during latit week's emergency. . The airfield has, been, developed as t joint enterprise ai}d.service;to their . district by the Villages of Castlegar' •rid Kinnaird,.and |he City of Nelson. The development was undertaken after the Board of Transport Commission- trs, following a hearing in Nelson^ declared it as' capable of giving the safest iervice to the greatest number from among fields in West Kootenay.'Other fields considered before inauguration of the C.P.A. service were those at Salmo and Columbia Gardens, Trail. Some hope, that the Federal Government might take a hand in providing/funds for further development of the field was raised only last week. Minister of Transport Hon. Lionel Chevrier had requested details on required improvements, H. W. Herridge, M.P. for rtootenay"West, reported. His suggestions for presenting the proposals are certainly ones to be followed up rapidly. There is an indication that fruition of the three centres' campaign . for Ottawa aid is nearing. , .Outlay in actual cash on the field has not been high, but the outlay bf effort by representatives of the three centres has, comparatively, been prodigious. The field has proven worth every penny and every ounce of effort '. Nelson Municipal Library Book Notes ,:; .NONACTION ; iSHSRWOOD,.

The information on health will be emphasized during the week by various agencies "to help anyone who desires.it .to win better health for himself and for his children." What the parents, teachers and youth leaders will teach children, will show the extent of their understanding of the opportunities medical science has given them to secure health for themselves and for children under their core, the Health League of Canada has declared.

Brush Your Teeth Three Times a Day" CHICAGO, Jn. 31 (AP) - Tooth decay can be cut to 70 per cent by brushing or rinsing the teeth immediately after eating,: a Northwestern University chemist reported today. Dr. Leonard S. Fosdlck said the findings were based on two years of research .work with 956 men and women college and university students. An experimental group of 583 students brushed. their teeth 10 minutes after eating. If that was impossible, they rinsed their, mouths thoroughly with water,. The other 423 students continued their usual oral hygiene habits, most of them brushing their teeth upon arising or before retiring. The first year the exeprlmental group developed an average of 0.8 new cavities compared with 2.2 ln the central group ,a reduction of 63 per cent. At tho end of the second year, X-ray examinations showed the experimental group had 60 per cent less hew cavities than the con. trol grOup. e C.P.R. Promotions .

Charles Foulkes as Canada's Army Chief inio-a sixth year, equalling, the' record for a Canadian. He will finish five years In office this August and will continue at least until August, 1951. The decision Indicates official feeling that the wartime corps commander should continue ln of- lice at least until Atlantic-pact defence planning emerges from earlier stages and the long-range, form takes shape. He is Canada's spokesman op the Pact Military Committee, highest non-political body. There Is ho sign, either, of early shifts.for the other three chiefs of staff, Vice 'Admiral H.,"T. W. Grant of the Navy, Air Marshal W. A. Curtis of the R.C.A.F. and. Dr. O. M. Solandt, Director- General of Defence Research, Air Marshal Curtis, at 56, Is one year beyond the normal retirement age for .one of his rank but such extensions are not unusual In exceptional circumstances. He and Admiral Grant, 50, were appointed chiefs Sept I, 1947.': . .-' The fact that there Is any thought et all of retirement for Gen. Foulkes—he is 47—points up a problem that arises from the fact that Canada's forces, probably more than any other ln the world, are youthful organizations, The problem is pointed up, too, by the fact that the logical heirs to all three ' services chiefs are all in their 40s. ' On, one side Is the rotation system under which the services keep shifting officers from Job to Job over two or three year periods to broaden experience. If the man on top stays there too long It tends to thwart, the system. There Is ,however, ne set period for a chief of staff- On the other side Is the fact that a retired chief qf staff gets a $12,000- a-year pension and the public can hardly be expected to welcome too many pensions of that size for men ■ still ..relatively young'. .■■'■■; EVESHAM, Worcestershire, England (CP)—John Huxley, "discoverer of the "Huxley Unknown" variety of strawberry, died; age 72. .

By BOB THOMAS HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 31 (AP) — Would you leave a $3,00O-a-week jpb'to assert your independence? Van Heflin did. And he has no regrets. "I figure this way," he said. "After five years of college and 20 years in the business, I ought to be capable enough to.makevmy own decisions. At any rate,. I would prefer my mistakes to be my own, and not those made by my studio." Heflin's parting with M.G.M. was friendly, but he made no secret of his discontent with his post-war i-oles.- GRATEFUL FOR 'NAME' But the Oklahoma-horn actor is grateful to the studio for giving him what he sought from the mov les—a "name." "I realized the importance of a movie 'name' wheiy I was touring with 'Philadelphia Story,' he re. called. "I knew that people like Lunt and Fontanne, Katherlne Cor. noil and Helen Hayes could {ill houses for the, first three days in a town, but business might fall off after that But the movie 'name' of Kathar- is proceeding rapidly and appoint. nient of a National Director and I ihe.'

Associate ■ Director wll be announc- even to the balconies, for a week ed in a few days.. ! or more, "The power of the-movies was also driven home to me when the : fiim version of 'Philadelphia Story' came out. -1 realized that Jimmy Stewart, playing the same role 1 did on the stage, could be seen by as many people in two days as had seen me in two years and, he could get an academy award for doing it". FLOPPED IN B PIX '.'. Heflin, Who had flopped as a • B- picture actor at R.K.O. in 1936. accepted an M.G.M. contract in 1941. He started at $500 a Week, $150 less than his stage salary. , "I wasn't 'swamped with offert,' " he said With unusual''candor, "I took the salary cut because I wanted to get a movie 'name,' I realized I didn't have the good looks or personality to become a topflight star, but I felt I had enough competence as an actor to, establish myself," He did it in a,hurry—by winning an Oscar in his third film "Johnny Eager;" But after three years in the Army be was dissatisfied with his roles. ■He felt that his best ones were three he did on loan-out to other studios. So he got his release. However, shed no tears for 'Heflin's loss-of'three gees,every pay day, His salary as a free-lancer will * amount to around $10,000 a weekend there are plenty of takers.

A Columbia University specialist today disclosed the development of an electrical machine which determines whether an expectant mother is on the verge of giving normal or abnormal labor to her child. The unique device also shows whether labor Is real or false.

He made public his unique machine in the current Issue of the American Journal of Obsterics and Gynaecol ogy published today. Sudden Wealth Story Too Good To Be True NEW YORK, Jan. 31 (CP)— It was too good to be true for 85-year- old Martin Oscar Olson. The story was that he had a $40,000 fortune coming to him from an old insurance policy. Who first reported the $40,000 figure remains a mystery. Also as spurious was the report that Olson took out the policy in the 1890s, paid $20,000 for it, and stipulated that.lt be locked in the vaults of the Mutual Life Insurance Company of New York for 50 years. 8HARP MEMORY ' Olson, who despite his age still has a sharp memory, apparently never took the "windfall" seriously. At his home in Tarzana, Calif., he denied ever laying out' $20,000 for insurance. Yes, he did remember taking out a policy With Mutual in "1893 or 1894," but it was for only $100. •■'.■,- After a bit of checking, Mutual said that Olson, a one-time Topeka, Kas., blacksmith, took out a 20- payment life policy for $1000 in June 1896. The Company said Olson, however, failed to keep up payments and in 1931 the policy was put on a "paid up basis" with a current cash value of $132 and a $150 value op Jeath. Because of Olson's age, the Insurance Company undertook an Investigation to find out his where- abouts. That's where Detective George Pinchin of Vancouver entered the picture. Pinchin said he had been hired by the Company to locate Olson, who once lived in Vancouver, and has a sister, Mrs. Gordon 'McKenzIe, living there. Pinchin said, too, that the policy was worth but $132.

LTU Excluding Imports May Damage Exports'Trade By FORBES RHUDE , Canadian Press Business Editor ) N. S. Robertson, President of the North American Life Assurance Company, had some plain speaking to do yesterday about exports. Some of it may not be pleasant reading to some Industries, but here It is: It is said that our Impending external trade problem stems from world conditions, from our customers' dollar exchange problem, and that there Is nothing we as Canadians can do about It With this view I do not agree. There are fac: tors ln the problem which are wholly external to Canada, and no doubt over these we have no control. But I am convinced that there are many other elements, which we can ourselves regulate and manage so as to assist in the capture and retention of foreign markets. The old trade patterns by which our customers earned dollars from others with which to pay us, have perhaps largely disappeared, at prospective customers are to gain least for the present, and if our dollars they must In the meantime earn them from us or from this continent. .

George Tunstall, representing his company, did his best to claim ownership to Hoover'i point, but with the help of the late John Houston, Hoover was given the land on pre: emptlon' rights. >. George was very popular-and always ln a happy mood. He built a .nice little bungalow In Bogus Town (now Fairview). The late Mr. Beattle and his family resided there for some years.

Claims Charge No Worse Than Distcibuting Aspirin VICTORIA, B.C., Jan. 31 (CP)— One of Canada's noted criminal lawyers told Appeal Court here today that charges against five men convicted as members of a Canada: wide narcotics ring were "no more serious than a charge of conspiring to distribute aspirin tablets".

Agriculture Department said today, but it still is too early to estimate just how much will oc- ir. ■ Peach, apricot and cherry, particularly those three years old or more, are believed' most, likely to suffer as well as apple trees North of this Okanagan centre where temperatures have gone as low as 30 degrees below zero. On the good side, a heavy snow blanket has proteoted roots. Mouse damage to bark has beep reported, too, but it won't be possible to ascertain how much until the snow leaves. In the Wenatchee, Wash., Valley, experts have warned of a frost kill that may be serious. There, last Winter's cold hit many peach, apricot and sweet cherry trees hard and Sunday's low of 22 degrees beiow zero may have finished many. Tuna Prices Down May Affect B.C.

Stanley Street, third at the site of the for mer Four-Ways Playground on Hall Mines Road, and finally the Civic Centre Arena. The Hume School In those, days, he said was just a wooden building where the Gordon Road now runs. He remembered also when the old cemetery, where .the Nelson tourist park now is, was moved up the hill to the Nelson Memorial Park. location. A waterfront park existed about half a mllb fartlier up the West Arm from the present Lakeside Park position. A lumber mill now operated at the site beyond the present shipyards,- He said that the shipyards used to be on the other side of the old slaughterhouse, which was on thO stretch of sand now known Shirley Beach. '. / The hospital in those days used to be a small house, on the corner of Latimer ahd Kootenay Streets. This, he said, had recently been made Into an apartment house.. LIVELY' Nelson was a lively mining town, and the smelter was running at full force. There were 2S hotels and saloons In Nelson when he was growing up. Ward Creek ran down Ward:Street, arid a.bridge crossed It on Baker Street he recalled.

The kids always flocked around the grounds when a balloon ascension was being made ready. He told, of the time that the men were filling a balloon in preparation for an ascension*, at the ball park, and the wind caught the balloon, blowing It over onto the fire. It caught fire readily, blowing against the grandstand, which was on the opposite side of the grounds to the present grandstand location, and there was a near-panic in the crowd watching. FIR8T CREMATION He also remembered well the time that he played "hookey" from school, along with all the other children in the town, and went instead to the cremation of a Hindu. This was the first cremation ln Nelson, he said. One of his recollections was of the reign of a firebug, who burned down the smelter In Rosemont. He recalled' the fires at the smelter and at the Brewery, among others, which were set He had many pictures of ships, scenes, people, and buildings of the old time City of Nelson which he passed around. , , His son and daughter-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Emory played two well-received piano duets: "Night and Day" and "Two Guitars." new assistant Agent c.p.r. freight dept.
