FIVE CENTS A COPY NELSON, BRITI8H COLUMBIA, CANADA—WEDNESDAY MORNING, DEC. 20, 1950
NUMBER 203
BRUSSELS, Belgium, Dec. 19 (AP) — The 12 Atloi
Alliance nations announced toddy Gen. Dwight D. EisenhoV,c,
will begin early in 1951 to organize an international army to
keep the peace in Europe.
BY ARTHUR GAVSHON
BRUSSELS, ..Belgium, Dec. . 19
(AP) — Gen. 'Dwight D. Eisenhower was approved today by the
North Atlantic Pact powers as the
supreme commander of an integrated army for the defence of Europe
against Communist aggression.
The man who led the Western allied forces to victory in the Second
World War was named by President Truman at the request of the
foreign and defence ministers of the
12 pact members, now meeting here
to organize the force.
The formal appointment was disclosed in an exchange of telegrams
between the President and State.
Secretary Dean Acheson, who is in
Brussels for the North Atlantic
council meetings.
Eisenhower, now president of Columbia. University in New. York,
made it plain weeks ago that he
would accept the command if asked to do so.
He has, in fact, continued to be a
soldier throughout his civilian j.ob
as president of Columbia University. The terms of the law providing
five-star rank for certain generals
and admirals stipulate that they
never retire, as do other military officers, but continue in the service
although they can go on inactive
status.
In that status, Eisenhower, 60 last
Oct. .14, has been out of uniform
since February, 1948, when he stepped out as Army Chief of Staff before assuming the University post.
However, since then he has been
back in Washington in an advisory
capacity to Truman and defence
secretaries and as chairman of the
Joint Chiefs of Staff in a civilian
ro)e.
State Secretary Dean Acheson of
the United States said the three U.S.
divisions in Germany and Austria
will be placed under Gen. Eisen
hower's command immediately.
Foreign Minister Robert Schuman said France will do likewise
with her three divisions. A British
. armored division due shortly In
Europe, along with British forces
already on the continent, also will
be put under the Elsenhower command. Small units   of   Belgians
and Norwegians In Germany will
make up the remalhder of his Initial 10-dlvlslon force.
But gradually it is to include all
standing forces of the Atlantic Pact
countries stationed on the continent.   On the suggestion   of French
Defence Minister Jules Moch these
arrangements were put in the form
of a binding contract which all defence and foreign ministers signed.
Acheson keynoted    the deliberations, conference sources said, with
a speech declaring "the forces now
available in Europe are not adequate" to defend the continent.
The expectation In Ottawa Is
that Canada's special Brigade, recruited In August for commitment to Korea or elsewhere, will
be sent to Europe.
It was recruited as a single, reinforced brigade of close to 10,000
men, which gives It the strength
of a small division.
The Brigade, now training at Fort
Lewis, Wash., has already detached
the 2nd Battalion   of the Princess
Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry
and   sent   it   to   Korea. But It's
strength has been maintained by the
forming of a 3rd Battalion of the
Patricias. In addition it's reinforcement troops have been formed into
battalions for training purposes.
Between now and the next meeting' of Parliament early in the New
Year the cabinet likely will consider
the possibility of the dispatch of the
special force to Europe as a Canadian manpower contribution to European defence.    -
" I Refuse to Dismiss
Acheson"—Truman
WASHINGTON, Dec. 19 (API-
President Truman Bald today "I
refuse to dismiss" State Secretary Dean Acheson,
He made that statement at a
Press   conference   when   asked
about the demands from Republl-

his top-ranking cabinet minister.
Anticipating the questions, Truman had a prepared statement that
he read,'

Terrorists Burn
Bus in Singapore
SINGAPORE, Dec. 19 (AP) —
Terrorists burned a bus in the centre of Singapore tonight, bringing
about new tension on this island
which has been the scene of bloody
Moslem riots for days.
The incident occurred on the first
curfew-free night sin,ce the outbreak of the disturbances.
Death toll in the riots rose to 19
today—a police inspector who was
assaulted last night after escorting a Dutch girl to her home and
a Chinese youth injured by gunfire during the height of the rioting.
The disturbances were set off by
a Singapore court decision awarding custody of a 13-year-old Dutch
girl, Berta Hertogh, to her Roman
Catholic parents after she had been
raised for eight years by a Moslem
nurse and wed to a Moslem school'
teacher.

Mrs. Sullivan
Weeps as Hearing
Adjourned
OTTAWA, Dec. 19 (CP) — Mrs.
Marion Sullivan of Toronto broke
down and wept in court today when
her preliminary hearing on a charge
of murdering her husband was adjourned until Thursday and she saw
the possibility of spending Christmas in jail.
Because of pressure on courtroom
space, the hearing was adjourned
after hearing evidence largely about
the broken soda bottle which police
produced as a possible weapon in
the death of her husband, Francis
J. Sullivan. His body was found in
the hotel room they occupied here
the night of Nov. 17 last.
Dr. Max Klotz, Ottawa pathologist/replying  to  questions from
Roydon Hughes, defence council,
said he did not believe-that marks
on   the   Toronto   lawyer's   head
were   caused   by   blows   heavy
enough to shatter a soda bottle.
Parts of such a bottle were found
in the hotel room and in Mrs. Sullivan's luggage when she was arrested while travelling back to Toronto
Nov. 18, police said. The parts were
put together and the reconstructed
bottle is an exhibit in .the hearing.
Mr. Hughes also questioned Detective James Cairncross on his
treatment of the accused when she
was brought into the Ottawa head,
quarters about 5 hours after the
nude and marked body of her hus
band had been found in their room
early in the morning of Nov. 18.
He asked the Ottawa detective if
he had "put the heat" on Mrs. Sullivan , during the taking of statements from her and if he had intimated that her sex relations with
her husband were other than normal. ■ '   -
The detective testified that he had
asked Mrs, Sullivan about sex re
lations, but neither he nor any of his
associates, to his knowledge, had
suggested anything "improper.'
HEARING SEOUL
Strike 45 Miles     -
From Capital; Allies
Cling to Hungnam
TOKYO, Dec. 20 (Wednesday)
(AP)—North Korean Reds, now believed to have 150,000 regrouped
forces in action, were reported today to have clashed with South
Koreans along a 30-mlle, front only
45 miles from Seoul,
A  U.S. Eighth  Army briefing
officer   acknowledged   that   the
-  North  Koreans had made some
"limited   advances'  by   weaving
along the 38th parallel."
The flareup of fighting on the
long dormant West sector occurred
near Chunchon. It is 10 miles South
of the 38th parallel and 45 miles
Northeast of Seoul, the South Korean capital. Chunchon and Seoul
are linked by highway and rail line.
In  Northeast Korea, U.S. 10th
Corps   forces  clung  to   the   last
Allied toehold around the port of
Hungnam. Last .night star shells
of a powerful United Nations fleet
off    Hungnam    Illuminated    the
small   Allied  beachhead   against
night   forays   by   Chinese   and
North  Korean  Reds.
Yesterday Gen. MacArthur's
headquarters said an estimated 150,-
000 North Korean troops were back
in action in Korea after regrouping—mainly  in  Manchuria.  Headquarters said another 50,000 North
Koreans were available -in staging
areas of Manchuria where they are
safe' from being bombed by U.S.
planes. -
The South Korean Government
has published plans for civilian
evacuation-if military operations
warrant, from areas in South Korea,
including Seoul.
Hour by hour the fighting swirled
ever closer to Hungnam itself.
AP correspondent Tom Lambert
reported from the beachhead that
United Nations lines were so close
to  the   coast   that   soldiers   and
sailors could watch carrier-based
bombing and strafing attacks on
mussed Chinese and North Korean
troops ringing the perimeter.
Lambert reported that the U.S.
Air Force  abandoned Yonpo  airfield, 3% miles Southwest of Hungnam, Sunday.
Staff officers pointed out that the
airport was not given up until another emergency airstrip was in
operation, closer to the harbor area.

of a giant airlift Which saved the

BY FOSTER BARCLAY
Canadian Press Staff Writer
BRUSSELS, Belgium, Dec. 19
(CP) —Canada is likely to make a
big contribution to the defence of
Western Europe — both in men and
materials.
The twelve Atlantic Pact countries today completed the discuss-
; Ions of their ! foreign and defence
ministers, and 'announced agreement,on three big points:
1. 'Formation of an ' integrated
force under Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower;
2. Establishment of a Defence
Production Board, and  .
3. West German participation in
European defence.
Thus the drive-'to construct a wall
against posible Russian aggression
is under way.
After the meetings Brooke Claxton, Canada's Defence Minister, said
in an interview "The Canadian
Government soon will give consideration to the part Canada will take
in the integrated force."
"Whatever   Is   decided will be
subject to the approval of Pariia
ment."
Parliament Is expected to meet
- Feb. 14 and It is not expected It
will be called sooner.
There was no indication of the
number of troops Canada will make
available. A 10,000-man special force
now is training in Fort Lewis, Wash.
Prime Minister St. Laurent has said
it can be dispatched wherever necessary.
This appears to be Europe.
Six battalions make up the force
—equivalent to a small division. Its
training is likely to be completed in
March, and the force will then be
ready to move wherever designated.
Pending a decision on the manpower contribution, Canada will
concentrate on materials for Europe. Already the equipment for a
Netherlands division has been dispatched overseas. More will be sent
later, depending upon how soon it
can be replaced by purchases from
the United States,

Three-Cent Pay Hike Retroactive
To Sept. 1; New Week Starts June 1
By JOHN LEBLANC
,      Canadian Press Staff Writer    .
OTTAWA, Dec. 19- (CP)—Canadian ' rail workers
wrested another $13,000,000-a-year wage increase from the
railroads today..
Laying down binding contract terms under the legislation that ended last August's paralyzing rail.strike, Mr.
Justice R. L. Kellock gave
most of the 124,000 strikers:
1. A further three-cents-an-hour
increase on top of a four cent Increase they got last Sept 1. It is retroactive to that date.
2. The five-day, 49-hour week,
without loss of pay from the present
48 hours, effective next June 1 —
three months .ahead of the date the
railways had offered to put it im.
But the Supreme Court of Canada Justice," acting as final arbitrator in the dispute, refused the short
week and the new three-cent increase to 2,700 hotel and water
transport employees of the railways.
He restricted the smaller group to
the statutory four-cent increase
which all the strikers got at the end
of the walkout. They get this in a
one-year contract dating from last
Sept. 1; the'other employees, who
also wanted one-year contracts, are
bound by the arbitrator to two-year
agreements from that date.
All are in the non-operating
group —those who do not actually
run the trains. ,
TO RESUME TALK8
The running trades are in separate negotiations for wage Increases.
These have been suspended during
the Kellock inquiry, but they are.to
be resumed shortly, and the arbitrator observed today it was expected his findings would have a bearing on them. '
On the railways' estimates, the
workers' gains wilt cost something
over $100,000,000 a year. They estimate the 40-hour week as costing
$80,000,000: the first four-cent increase another $17,000.00(L_Aad the
final three-cent-aWard about fl3^
bOij;oOTP? >--t-•■■•'-.    —.%;;;.,■
However, the 17 unions engaged
ih the l^'year dispute have challenged these figures as exaggerated.
The arbitrator made no estimate.
Union leaders today hailed the
Kellock findings- as a "substantial
indication" of their case, though
they expressed regret that the hotel
employees had not been Included
in the main settlement.
Frank H. Hall of Montreal, negO'
tiatingchief for 15 international unions with 90,000 Canadian members,
and A. R, Mosher of Ottawa,, spokes
man for two national unions with
34,000 members, -said in a joint
statement they intended to pursue
further the question of the minor'
ity group.
ASK PRICE CONTROL
The co-leaders in the nine-day
August strike — Canada's biggest
walkout — also made a demand for
immediate price control on basic
commodities as the result of the
award. This they held necessary be-"
cause railway wages in the main
will be tied for two years by contract and because the hotel-water
group failed to get the full increase.
The railways issued no statement
immediately. Officials at Montreal
head offices of the,two major companies were studying the report,
consisting of 15,000 words of textual
matter and several statistical tables.
. Company officers had indicated
earlier that the issuance of the Kellock report, writing a final settlement to the dispute, would be followed by a new application for a
general freight, rate Increase —third
since the war. The others were of
21 and 20 per cent, respectively.
On   the   basis of the railways'
cost calculations — which are on
the assumption that the new cbn-
ditlons would be applied to non-
operating employees generally —
It would take roughly the equivalent of a 30-per-cent rate increase
to cover them In full. Nine per
cent would be the equivalent of
the Immediate   annual   wage-Increase cost
.  The   final   wage settlement was
granted by the arbitrator largely on
the basis of increased cost of living
and a comparison between railway
wages and those in other Canadian
industries.
He found that living costs' as
shown by the cost-of-living Index
had left the rail workers In the position where at Sept. 1 last it would
have taken a 10-vents-an-hour Wage
increase to restore their purchasing
power situation of July, 1948,
That was the month they obtained
their last previous wage increase—
a 17-cents-an-hour boost negotiated
for them by the government under
threat of a general strike.
On the 40-hour week, he had to
put It Into effect some time between next June 1 — the date
sought by the men — and Sept. J
next, the date offered by the company.
He chose the date demanded by
the men and, also as iri their offer,
provided that no overtime rates are
to be paid up to 48 hours weekly
for the period up to next Sept. 1.
He also accepted a railway provis- •
ion that, in the event of a national
emergency being proclaimed, no
overtime rates up to 48 hours a
week would be paid for its duration.
Mr. Justice Kellock took no action on a request from the two all-
Canadian unions for. the check-off

Proposed High School
Site to Be Studied
Action toward construction of a
proposed new high school for Nelson district students moved another
step forward Tuesday night.
At a meeting of the District
School Board Trustee Fred N. Emmott suggested that three school inspectors' assist the board in the decision of a school site in the city.
At present no site had been decided
on.
He also suggested that the high
school principal, school Inspector,
and members of the Board visit
newly-constructed schools in Castlegar and Trail to get an Idea of
the requirements for the construe^
tion. It was necessary to have some
idea aq to classroom accommodation
and so on before preliminary plans
could go ahead.
The Board decided to visit the
schools Jan. 6. ,
Estimates for the construction ot
a new garage to house school buS'
es and equipment will be submitted
to Victoria for approval. Cost of
the building has been estimated at
$39,000 while the property cost is
estimated at $10,000. The present
garage located on Vernon Street is
valued at $29,349,
Council To Be Asked
To Extend Options
Kootenay Lake General Hospital's Board of Directors li going to
ask City Council to extend the options It has on three possible sites
for a new hospital.
It took this action Tuesday night upon recommendation of Walter
Hendricks, M.L.A. for Nelson-Creston. The options expire at the end
of this month,
The Board decided also to obtain
exact figures on the cost of a new
hospital and on renovating Kootenay Lake General Hospital.
In a post-mortem of Saturday's
rejection at the polls of a referendum by which the city would have
asked for special statutory power
to allow borrowing of $500,000 for
a new hospital, members felt that
a number of electors had not known
what they were voting on, Too
many side issues had been fostered,
it was felt.
They had not known that passage
of the referendum would be "opening the door" to plans nor that final
decision would rest with the ratepayers, Mr. Hendricks said.
George Turner, Chairman, opened
the discussion by thanking Board
members for their support of the
recent fact-finding campaign.
"It is unfortunate that some
people feel they are unable to pro'
vide for an urgent heed. It is v.n-
fortunate that some honestly feel
they cannot pay increased taxes,
but most unfortunate of all Is the
fact that people will so distort facts
to their own private ends as to
deliberately mislead people."
REPORT COMING
Mr. Hendricks and R. D. Barnes
told Board members that Fire Chief
G. A. McDonald would be present
ing a report on the hospital's fire
hazard shortly.
One of the points It brings to
light was that water in the immediate vicinity was inadequate, and
that an eight-inch main would be
required.
Wiring, Mr. Turner added, was
one of the worst hazards.

N Shore Residents
Press for Extended
Bus Services
Extended school bus services for
children of the North Shore not already accommodated by the present
service, is being pressed for by the
residents of the North Shore,
A petition signed by about 50
Shore residents was placed before
the Nelson District School Board
meeting Tuesday night
A school bus transports children
living up to a mile from, the Nelson
ferry. It was the feeling of the petitioners that the service should' be
extended further up the Shore especially at this time of the year.
It was reported that often children became cold while waiting for
the ferry after having walked well
over a mile or when returning
home. There had also been complaints from the ferrymen that
children were running about oh the
ferry while crossing,
It was pointed out that many students living within a few hundred
feet of the ferry were being transported to school by bus while others two miles or so out had to walk,
It was the Board's decision that a
delegation of three petitioners meet
with the transportation committee
to hear explained the difficulties of
extending such a bus service.

Cily Reassessment
Report Expected
To Be Ready Soon
Report on reassessment of City
properties, recently completed, is
not yet ready, City Clerk W. A.
Gordon told City Council Monday
night.
Preparation for the civic elections
had taken up much time, he said,
in answering a question put by Aid,
T. S. Shorthouse.
An analysis might be ready In
two or three days he thought, and
comparison of the new and old
assessment rolls would be ready for
the next meeting, to be held at the
call of the Chair.
Dramatic, Speech
Classes to Be
Held in School
Miss Janie Stevenson, instructress
in dramatic and speech classes, has
been granted permission to conduct
classes in' the Nelson High School
by the School Board,.
The move was approved after
much discussion among the trustees
Tuesday night,
G. H. Lee, Principal, told the
Board he felt the classes would-be
of an' advantage to the students,
many of whom were members of
radio and drama' clubs. Miss Stevenson already holds classes In Trail
schools which were reported to be
progressing well.
Trustee George Latta felt that
students wishing to take the classes
should not have to pay for them
but that the expense should be
shouldered by the Board. In some
cases, he pointed out, students who
would want to take lessons would
be unable to because of financial
circumstances. He also objected to
commercialised activities within the
school,
In a letter, Miss Stevenson stated
that a weekly class would be hold
during the noon hour for the benefit
of out-of-town students.
Dr. A, K. Gibbons and If. L. Irwin, principal of the Junior High,
stated that public speaking was essential fo students today and supported the request.
To Abolish
High School Fee
The fee of $1 per month, which
high school students over 18 years
of age have been required to pay
during the years, will be abolished
at the beginning of the new year.
Decision to discontinue collecting
the fee was reached by the District
School Board trustees Tuesday night
when G. H. Lee, Principal of Nelson
High School, expressed his opinion
that it was against the principle of
free education. Funds collected
amounted ^o very little during the
year.
Previously students who reached
the age of 18 prior to the school
term were required to pay the fee
while others reaching that age during the term were not affected until
the following term.

HOT ASHES START
MANY FIRES
IN GARBAGE UNIT
As long as citizens place hot ashes in garbage cans, they cannot expect the garbage to be removed, lt
was decided by City Council Mon-
day night.
Hot ashes had been responsible
for several "hot fires" in the garbage collector, and also for starting
fires on the city dump, Fire Chief
G. A. McDonald said, He knew of
no immediate solution to the problem.
The Fire Chief was answering Aid.
Joseph Kary who said he had received many complaints that garbage cans containing hot ashes were
not being emptied. The truck had
had to be repalnttd a number of
times, because of these fires, the
Chief said, and there was also a
possibility of warping of the metal in the equipment. A man was
constantly employed to put out City
dump fires.
City Purchase
Of Lots Criticized
The City's purchase of two lots
along Cottonwood Creek in the Silica Street area was strongly protested by Aid. Alex Sutherland Monday
night.
He cast a dissenting vote for each
of three readings of a bylaw authorizing purchase of the two lots for
$1550. The lot owners are Woo Six
Soon and Mar Yow.
Recently, Mayor N. C. Stibbs had
suggested to Council that purchase
of the lots would make it unnecessary to build a retaining wall along
the properties and also provide more
park space. Monday night, he told
Aid Sutherland that "you can't get
too many parks or playgrounds,"
The city should look ahead on such
projects.
Aid. Sutherland said the site along
the creek was not suitable for such
purposes. Better sites could be obtained farther up the hill.
Lots 8 and 9, block 98, will be
purchased for $800, and lot 10 in the
same block for $750.

 NELSON DAILY NEWS, WEDNESDAY, DEC. 20, 1950
1950 Appears to Have Been
nn's Year for Headlines
Fly
By BOB TH0MA8
HOLLYWOOD, Dec. 19 (AP)—As
1950 comes to a finish, it shapes up
as Errol Flynn's year for headlines.
_ Earlier this year, Flynn remarked
•to me: "For the life of me, I can't
"understand why a quiet, reserved
] f qllow like myself should be in-
I volved in the news so often."
Despite his professed innocence,
Flynn managed to say and do things
ithat kept him more frequently in
-,the news than any other movie
star. It started early ln the year
[with his engagement to Romanian
.Princess Irene Ghika.
j    Flynn provided one of the quotes
j,of the year when he was asked in
Europe about reports that his mar-
triage plans would be hastened.-His
reply to reporters; "The reports are
j premature. The Princess hasn't yet
; learned .to cook.'.'
A GOOD EGG
ig.In-May, he brought his foreign
Jiiancee to Hollywood while he made
a picture. "She's a good egg," he
-commented. "And she's got brains.
•It's about time I picked one with
,brains, don't you think?"
k'"In August, Flynn was hailed into
court over his alimony to first wife
Lili Damita. A lawyer asked if he
wasn't one of the world's most popular actors. Said Flynn: '/Modesty
forbids me to answer."
Shortly afterward, Flynn startled
everybody by announcing his en-
gagament to his leading lady, Fa-
trice Wymore. But what about the
Princess? he was asked. "It's up to
the lady to announce a broken engagement," he replied.,
WEDDING  NEWS
He returned to France to make a
picture. Then followed the wedding
news. There was a haggle over finding a church that would'permit the
marriage of a divorced man. The
search failed and the pair took their
vows Oct. 28 in the Monaco City
Hall at Monte Carlo. They answered
"Oui" as 3000 natives chattered outside.
Nor was the honeymoon a quiet
one. A storm interrupted the cruise
of the Flynn yacht.
As the end of the headlined year
approached, gossip's reported that
Flynn again would be in the news.
There were whispers that all was
not well with the new marriage.

ONTARIO GIRL
EXPERT ON WELLS
CARON, Sask., Dec. 19 (CP) —
Ada Snider, 21-year-old student at
Briarcrest. Bible Institute here, goes
home to Woodbrldge, Ont., between
terms — to drill wells.
Pretty Miss Snider, who hopes
soon to qualify as a missionary, believes she is the only woman well-
driller in Ontario. And there are not
many in all Canada.
For years, when not studying at
the undenominational I n s t i tute
here, she has helped her 61-year-old
father to drill wells. She loves the
outdoor work and the thrill of striking a good-water supply.
Miss Snider and her father, J. N.
Snider, recently brought in'one of
the best wells seen in years in the
vegetable-growing Holland Marsh
district 35 miles North of Toronto.
Until capped, it ran .500,000 gallons a
day. The^pure, pressure-fed supply
now is distributed through pipes to
half a dozen big market gardens.
On the Job Ada wears a plaid
shirt, blue jeans and rubber boots,
She keeps her hair bound tightly to
avoid accidents while working with
drilling machinery.       '  V
"It's a healthy job," she says, "except for the occasional drenching
you get trying to cap a well."

It is a recipe for a bigger, richer, more comfortable Canada.
The "pinch" is scores of shiploads of the red earth —bauxite—
from British Guiana. A three-thousand-mile ocean journey ends:.
at Port Alfred on the Saguenay River. Then the bauxite goes by
rail to the electrical ■"kitchen" at Arvida a few miles away.
There aluminum is refined from the bauxite by using electricity
provided by harnessing the same Saguenay. ;
You see, the Saguenay provides two essentials for making
aluminum — deep water for cargo ships and cataracts for power
— within a few miles of one another.
Standing on thc dock at Port Alfred, you see something unique. You
watch freight cars filled with bauxite disappear over a hill and return with
shining aluminum. The process of turning bauxite into aluminum
has added Port Alfred and the city of Arvida to Canada's living space,
and opened new opportunities for thousands of Canadians.

Plenty of Lessons From •
Referendum; They Can
Aid Project's Progress
There are 865 electors in this City
who, it might appear, do not want
Nelson to become a regional hospital
centre.,
There are 715 who definitely do.
Then there are 889, the balance of
the electorate, who for a variety of
reasons were unable to get tq the poll,
or just didn't care.
Thus one of the most progressive
major new building undertakings proposed for Nelson in the last decade
appeared stymied temporarily by a
minority vote representing just a trifle
over a third of the electorate.
We say "appeared stymied". However, Nelson City Council has gone
ahead, the minority vote notwithstanding, to apply for the added borrowing
power necessary to r/ave the way to
advancement of the hospital project.
This move is to the Council's credit;
more so than earlier attitudes in the
matter. In taking the step it is acting
speedily in What most members are
convinced is the best interest of the
City; and it ls putting political considerations last. This is as it should be.
In no way can it be argued that the
Council is disregarding the electorate
in the matter. Property owners will
have the last and definite say whether
the added borrowing power is ever
put to use.
That very fact makes it imperative
that the reasons behind the failure of
the referendum be cleared away. Why
did the referendum fail?
It is unlikely that the 865 who'
voted "no" in the Saturday poll to
support the city's action in seeking
additional borrowing power actually
oppose the new hospital project, as
such. The undertaking is too progressive, the need too evident to accept
such a supposition. It is more likely
that other reasons made them back
away from the responsibility. What,
then?
For one thing there was. the delay
in making public the report on Nelson's property reassessment creating
a feeling that this delay was deliberate. Property owners, probably in
considerable numbers, were reluctant
to accept additional responsibility before knowing whether assessments had
already been adjusted upwards. The
fact that information on individual
assessments was available on enquiry
was not generally known..
Then,.to the last minute there existed confusion as to the actual purpose
of the referendum. This confusion was
in part deliberately created by an obstructing opposition. That {here were
sincere men in this opposition we cannot doubt, but nevertheless they displayed lack of acceptance of Nelson's
true position as a District centre and a
lack of far-sighted thinking and progressive spirit. Too many thought in
selfish terms of five or 10 years hence.
There was a lack of assuring leadership from the,Mayor and City Councillors. One Alderman only put his
whole energy behind the project. There
was even a difference between the
Mayor and his Finance Chairman as to .
the extent the project Would affect the
mill rate.
Further, the public was much more
aware of the two years of behind-the-
seend fumbling than was credited. The
public on any occasion resents being
taken into confidence only at the last
moment, and there is a lesson here for
others than just those' interested in
this project.
Nelson actually owes a real debt of
gratitude to the men behind the project. As a group they put in much time,
thought and energy, and there were
many reasons for the delay in putting
forward full details of the issue, Chief
among these was an effort to obtain the
best possible advantages for the people
they were striving to serve. Nevertheless, it has been made amply clear
again that the people want to be in on
public business from start to finish.
Then, a false impression was created that the site for the hospital'had
already been decided. This controversial point, the public apparently feels,
if given all .the information, they can
decide fbr themselves. Actually, tfie
site was never decided. Thus, for the
electors the impression was'only one
more confusing note.
There was an added false picture
that developed unchecked. - The issue
was encouraged by some quarters to
appear as a business man vs. salaried
worker affair. There was no real effort
to emphasize1 the obvious truth that a
project that is good for the community
is good for everyone, business man and
employee alike. Such a development as
a regional hospital would undoubtedly
bring more revenue to the City. More
revenue will better business conditions, better business conditions always
improve worker conditions. The interests of the employer and employee are
one. Those who would make them appear otherwise do no favors for either.
■, Added to this was the lack on the
part of a portion of the business men
body in displaying community responsibility. They did not put their shoulders to the wheel as they might. Men,
satisfied with their own security, have
a duty* greater than most, to give their
efforts to the community's good and
. future.
Undoubtedly, high in the minds of
voters have been the street corner blue
ruin, reports on Nelson's financial picture. It is time, and beyond, that a careful, complete and honest statement on
.Nelson's financial health was made. It
is all very Well to point out that the
City's financial report is available to
all who would peruse it. But it is no
secret that public peculiarities are such
that those who would sit down to
a study of a seemingly complicated
accounting are few indeed to those who
would accept a statement from the men
they look to for information and guid-
. ance. The very acceptance to the street
corner whisperings in opposition to the
attitude of the Department of Municipal Affairs on Nelson's ability to-
handle its own financing makes this
clear.
The   existence  of  City  financial
statements makes no less the duty of
the City's administrators,  especially
. those dealing with finance, to-clear
away the doubts.
All these things considered, can

Looking Backward
10 YEARS AGO
From The Dally News of Dec._13, 1940
Permission for Canadians to travel from
Paterson to Cascade through the United States
via Northport and Laurier without complying
with the usual passport and border identification has been granted by State authorities. Information to this effect was received by R. R.
Burns, M.L.A. for Rossland-Trail, from the
Department of External Affairs at Ottawa.
Jack Taylor and Harold Mayo, two former junior hockeyists, plan to land positions
on the Nelson intermediate hockey team this
season. Taylor is at present undergoing his
month of compulsory training at Vernon.
of the Retail Merchants Division.
However, this year we.have been
fortunate enough to have had an
executive ln our organization who
have been perhaps more active in
promoting the business of the Association than any previous leadership we have ever had'. Mistakes
were of courst made! the members
who made up the executive are the
first to admit that,
I believe it's the first time that
regular monthly meetings' every
month of tho year were held. Although the attempt had been made
the previous year, the indifference
of the retail merchants themselves
made it too difficult to carry on to
the end of 1040. This indifference
was even more ln evidence ln 1050,
but since it was felt that regular
discussions were necessary, and that
these provided the only opportunity
to consider new business coming up
by all Interested members, obviot
ing the necessity of the executive
making arbitrary decisions with
perhaps insufficient information
from the individual retailers most
concerned, they carried on—and it
took considerable of their time, too.
At the November forum meeting,
and after considerable discussion of
every possible angle of the subject,
a schedule of special store hours for
the w?ek preceding Christmas was
drawn up, and recommended to the
executive, who In due course approved it. I must add here, that all
retailers, regardless of whether or
not they were members of the Association, were notified, and invited
to attend and present their' views,
and even permitted to vote, too, and
at every monthly forum meeting.
This schedule of store hours
would have lengthened regular business hours considerably, but would
have conformed In every way with
City bylaws. With some staggering
of store help, and in a few cases,
some additional help, it also conformed to Department of Labor regulations. The main end it was intended to achieve was better service
to city and district shoppers; of this
there is no question; also there can
be no question that the same staff
and business hours that are\capable

there be any doubt then that the vote
was not cast completely on the issue at
hand? It is all too clear that it Was
cast against the weight of a wealth of
confusing issues.
To the earnest, forward-looking
group who are promoting the new hospital' project, the referendum result
was far from rewarding. It is one more
stumbling block among many they
have had to face. But its lessons can
be put to good use.
of handling slack season business,
and even regular business, cannot
cope with the unusual volume of
business that usually precedes
Christmas. And, this decision having been arrived at in a democratic
manner, and confirmed by the executive as required by our constir
tutlun, it was so advertised.
Now each one of these three steps
should have constituted sufficient
reason for each individual retailer
in Nelson to conform to his sche
dule regardleBs of personal Opinions
if unanimity and public welfare
were to be considered at all, and
particularly the advertising of this
schedule, after which event it was
no longer a private affair among
the retail merchants of the town'
This impromptu meeting which lol-
lowed, the way this meeting was
organized, and the arbitrary revisions made at .'this meeting, all Indicated a lack of confidence ln the
executive, and the advertising of
th?.original schedule, followed by
the revised schedule, Is iq.ray opinion tantamount not only to a vote
of non-confidence In the executive,
but lt advertised non'confidence,
and publicly, censured the whole
organization.
This is especially emphasized by
the facile and glib manner ln which
this meeting was arranged, by just
a few retailers, and led by one man
in particular, none of whom had ln
the whole year attended forum
meetings,' nor put in any time or
effort in the organization to compensate fo*the Immense harm they
did to the organization by this one
gesture.
In my personal opinion, and on
account of the foregoing, I feel that
membership ln the Association, and
partaking of discussions in the Association, are therefore just as futile
as the decisions that may be in
future' arrived at by the Associa
Hon. That is, until such time as the
Association has sufficient prestige
to make i'ts decisions stick, or at
least until certain retailers' can
match their overlarge Influence
with adult responsibility, so they
will realize that If they are too indifferent to achieve their ends by
constitutional means, they should
neither wish lo nor be capable of
destroying Ihe entire organization
ln order to achieve them.

Heavy Snow Hampers North Sask.
Travel; Food Supplies lessen   •
PRINCE ALBERT, Sask., Dee. 10
(CP)—Travel conditions said to bo
the worst in 70 years are threatening 2000 Northern Saskatchewan
residents with food shortages, a
Government official said today.
George Burgess, Welfare Officer
returning from an arduous trip to
the North-West section of the Province, said many residents of the
scattered settlements in tho Winter-
gripped area will have only fresh
fish to eat unless fresh supplies are
taken in.
Floyd Glass, Jr., Manager of the
Saskatchewan Government ;Air-
ways, said food and Christmas supplies for the settlements depends
on hunters, trappers and fishermen
marking out runways on solid portions of lakes and rivers for aircraft.
Trucks that usually take through
supplies from Green Lake, 115 miles
Northeast of Prince Albert, have
bogged down In deep snow. One
snow plow ls stuck..45 miles North,
of Green Lake. An estimated 23
inches of bhow has fallen.
It has made landing operations by
aircraft a hazard. Lake and river
surfaces are fluffy and churned. The
Beaver- and Churchill Rivers-are
believed unsafe for landing for tho
rest o'f the Winter.
The heavy fall has insulated the
Ice surface, depressing it below the
water level or preventing formation
of sufficient thickness.
Christmas and other supplies, are
piling up at Fort Black. There ls
no way to move them for distribution to  Isle  la Crosse,  178 miles
Northwest of here.
Whites, Metis and Indians have
appealed to the Provincial Government Highway Department for assistance.
VICTORIA, B.C., Dec. 10 <CP)-
The Provincial Government expects
to hear something definite soon on
reported plans for an -immediate
start by the Aluminum Company
of Canada on its $500,000,000
Tweedsmuir Park development.
Lands a,nd Forests Minister E. T.
Kenney said today no official statement had been made yet, but "we
believe we will be notified shortly."
He gave assurance the Government will throw no barriers ln front
of the huge hydro-electric development, and aluminum producing
plant. n
"We will facilitate lt in every way
possible," the minister said.
A weekend report from Ottawa
states the U.S, has agreed to buy
500,000 tons of aluminum to be .produced by the proposed" B.C. plant.
Earlier It was reported the company, which li making, tests still
to determine feasibility of ereot
Ing high-altitude' power lines, has
a temporary plan In mind whloh
would allow a start on the'project
at once.
The high - altitude transmission
line Ib from the site of the proposed
hydro plant on the Kemano River
Northward to the proposed townslte
of the company at KItlmat, 42 miles
distant.
The temporary plan Is reported
to be development of a townslte at
the mouth of the Kemano River
which later would be moved,to Kit-
imnt if the transmission line tests
show that the line could be operated in the Winter weather;
The temporary .townslte would
be unsuitable for the ultimate plans.
If Aloan goes ahead with the
project).B.C. will be an entirely
new Industry, a new payroll of
millions of dollars, Jobs for thousands, more deepsea shipping and
establishment of a city of 50,000
at KItlmat.
The proposal calls for damming
of a 'lake and river system ln
Tweedsmuir Park to change the
direction" of flow from East to West,
creating a water storage system for
development of 1,500,000 horsepower.
This would raise the level of the
entire Ootsa Lake-Eutsuk Lake-Ne-
chako River.system.
At the Western end of the system
a 10-mile tunnel would be bored
through a mountain to carry water
to o point where it would drop 2300
feet to a power plant below.
The" power would be transmitted
to KItlmat, on Tidewater, where a
bauxite smelter and town would be
built.
Bauxite would be brought here
from British Guiana and parts of
America for smelting.
Plan calls for a two-stage
velopment—the first to take three
years producing about 150,000 tons
of primary metal yearly and re
quiring 600,000 horsepower hydro
development; and the second to
take another two years, bringing
annual output to 500,000 tons employing a hydro plant with 1,600,-
000 horsepower capacity.

TORONTO, Dee. 10 (CP)-MV. M.
Murdoch, Secretary of the Toronto
Musical Protective Association, said
, today all Sheraton Hotels in Canada have been ."blacklisted". by
both the Association and the Parent
American Federation of Muslsians
(A.F.L.)
He said union orchestras now performing at Sheraton Hotels In Quebec will withdraw when their present contracts expire. Union men
already have been withdrawn from

' Commenting on a statement in
Montreal by J. C. Udd, President
of Sheraton Ltd., Mr. Murdoch said
a dispute at the King Kdword hotel
here touched off the blacklisting.
Wh,en Sheraton took over the hotels from the Cardy Interests last
Winter, 18 musicians at the King
Edward were given notice, Mr. Murdoch said. The union protested and
the hotel agreed to keep the musicians on until the end of May when
the Summer season . started. The
company then offered to keep on
eight men, later increasing lt to 11,

The loyal supporters of the Trail
Smoke Eaters will tonight get the
first glimpse of a couple of new
Maple Leafs when Eddie Wares
takes his Leafs over to the Cominco
Arena.
I Pucksters who will likely be In
action are rightwinger Johnny
Harms and goaltender Eddie Matt-
wlck, a pair who came in over the
weekend.
Mattwick, will really be on the
spot if he Is used in Trail, not having been on ice too much this season. He may not be able to Bhow his
top form for a week or so.
Eddie is built on the same lines
as Hay McMeekin, who tended the
twine for Kelowna Packers. He seldom goes down,, and has a fair set
of hands. In the Leaf workout Tuesday night he was at a decided disadvantage, wearing skates which
were a couple of sizes too large,
but he'll be able to prove himself
when he is properly outfitted.
Stan  Chmiel,  who  worked  out
with Eddie earlier this season down
ln Brandon, says he'll come through
with the goods. Before he arrived
in town, Stan said that Eddie was
pretty good in holding rebounds,
which has been the main fault of
Bobby McNabb, the present Leaf
netminder.
With the arrival of these two
players, the club will likely be
pruned a little more.
Looking at the Leaf lineup, you
could find several rlghtwingers, a
type of player supposed to be hard
to find. On the local senior outfit
there are Johnny Harms, Johnny
Faxgher, Nell,McClenaghan, Sonny
Willock, Don Haley and Connie McBeth. Red Koehle, Stan Chmiel and
Red Matthews have all chewed up
ice on the right flank.
The extent of Dave Livingstone's
suspension for clubbing Red Koehle
will be made public today by Gerry
Thomson, B.C.A.H.A. President.
Koehle is still taking treatments
from Trainer Steve Cameron.

Says Eating Public
Like a Little Love
PORT ARTHUR, (CP) — George
L. Wenzel of Austin, Tex, suggests
Canadian restaurateurs should
"make a little love to the public."
Mr. Wenzel, a restaurant consultant, conducted, a two-day course
here.
He said showmanship and a little
knowledge of the science of cooking
are necessary attributes in the successful operation of a restaurant
There is definitely something lacking ih the majority of Canadian
restaurants, he said.
"Your, busines should be operated
with a_ little of the Barnum and
Bailey "circus flavor. Make a little
love, to the general public and treat
the children with special attention."

Bush Parson Trades Vasl Parish
For London's Squalid Dock Area
LONDON (CP)-Rev. Colin Cut-
tell, a former bush parson whose
parish once covered 2000 Square
miles, has traded the wide-open
spaces of the Canadian West for
London's smoky doek district.
After 14 years in Canada, much
of it spent travelling by canoe and
horse in the foothills of the Rockies, the British-born Church of England parson is "pioneering" again
—this time in an experimental effort to bridge the gap between
church and industry.
His job—officially he's Industrial
missioner for the diocese of South-
wark—is to convince dockers and
other workers that the church is not
just a one-day-a-week Institution,
but an active body as much at
home bpside the workbench as behind the pulpit.
Mr. Cuttell, 42 and a graduate of
the University of Bishop's College,
Lennoxville, Que., has become one
of the best-known men in Dockland. In six years, he has built up
contacts with more than 300 industries, .ranging from one-man businesses to large factories employing
as many as 8000.
Working in cooperation with the
Welfare Department of large firms
he gives advite-and help on all
kinds of problems—religious, domestic, business and moral.
VERSATILE CHAPLAIN
He is chaplain of the. Dockers'
British Legion, he goes aboard the
British ships lying in dock to talk
with the men and is accepted padre to Southwark and Lambeth Fire
brigades and to London Bridge
Railway Station personnel. His mission takes him to every type of industry in a large, thickly-populated
industrial diocese.
Contact with Canada Is maintain
ed by a membership ln the London
Council of the Diocese of Qu'Ap-
pelle, which meets twice a year.
He is friend, helpmate and religious
adviser to members of the Canadian
forces in Britain and to any resident
or visiting Canadian who cares to
consult him ; -
Asked whether he intends returning to Canada, the padre told
the Canadian Press: "That is something I am still fighting out with
myself.
"My job here is far from finished
and I hate leaving a job undone.
Stuffy London days, however, make
me think of London, sunny Fall
days in Alberta, and I long for Canada's wide open spaces."
Mr. Cuttell expects to be in Canada early next year visiting the
Bishop of Qu'Appelle. He said it
still gives him a thrill on these occasions to have his passport stamped
"returning Canadian."
Nol All Grisly
WINNIPEG, (CP).—Manitoba's
Provincial Coroner Dr. I. O. Fryer,
says the Coroner of Medieval times
had a vastly different job from his
modern counterpart.
Ancient Coroner, or "Crowners",
spent most of their time keeping
watch over Crown property, he said
in a service-club address.
In this category came buried treasure and salvage of the sea, including shipwrecks and whales or sturgeon either washed up on shore or
caught near the coast.
Dr. Fryer said the modern coroner's work is often misunderstood by
the public who think he spends all
his time with corpses involved in
cases of violent deaths.
Activities of the modern coroner
actually include detective, medical and pathological work as well
as work of an executive, administrative and legal nature.
In Manitoba, about 750 cases a
year are investigated, most without
the help of a jury. During an average year In this Province about 500
jurymen are subpoenaed and 1000
witnesses sworn in for coroners'
hearings..

Tha-, Seattle- baseball-x_fal3~"Sfffd" today it has tried to furnish three dif-
ferent men for the managerial job
of the Vancouver Capilanos of the ,
Western International League.
Two of them have turned it down
—they still want to play baseball,
not manage it No word has come
from the third man, who probably
wants to keep playing, too.
Earl Sheely, General Manager of,
the Seattle Pacific Coqst League
Club, said Catcher Bill Salkeld told
him today that he prefers to continue, playing in faster leagues to
managing the Caps. Infielder Tony
York rejected the job on similar
grounds recently.
And Bill Schuster, the holler-guy
shortstop who now is a free agent,
hasn't let prexy Bob Brown know
yet whether he'd like the pilot job.
Sheely said he believed Schuster
probably was shopping for a coast

EXPANSION PLANS?
added some 3,009,000 to hef population. ,,
Perhaps the biggest question
mark in this picture of growth is
whether Canada has enough people
to carry it out.
Most of her ordinary working
force now is at work, and extra
needs can be met only through increased, efficiency Of both men and
machines; through finding whatever extra working force there may
be, perhaps chiefly among women;
and through what people she may
get through Immigration, if time
remains to get them.
MUST  PRODUCE
In the years since 1939, and especially in the last two or three years,
Canada not only has expanded production from her previously-known
resources, but has found new ones
from which to "expand further, notably oil, iron ore. and some other
minerals.
Every,grim piece of news which
we read these grim days only confirms that Canada must produce
more and the needs are only beginning to be disclosed.
The mobilization of the United
States will undoubtedly accelerate
fast from here in. We will not
necessarily follow exactly every
step which that coutnry may take;
but whether we do it her way or
in some way of our own, we shall
probably ha.rising, so far as results
are concerned, about the same
thing.
By  DEWITT   MACKENZIE
Associated Press News Analyst
. India, still struggling with the
problems of young Statehood, has
been dealt a hard blow in the death
of Sardavvr Patel, Deputy Prime
Minister and wheel horse of the
regime.
The loss is particularly serious
because it comes at a time when
Asia is seething with a Communist
upheaval which is casting a deep
shadow across India and her sister
State of Pakistan. It is a dangerous
moment when the Indian peninsula
needs all the leadership it can
muster.
Significant of the force of this
blow is the fact that Maharajah
Jam Saheb ot Navanagar, one of
the Indian. delegates to the United
Nations and another of the strong
men of the Indian Government, is
rushing back to New Delhi from
Lake Success. Nehru apparently is
calling in his captains for consultation.
Patel was a strong asset to the
regime because he was a "practical
politician", and next to Nehru the
most powerful influence in the Congress Party, the Government organization. I emphasize the term
"practical" because that quality
helped counter-balance the visionary views held by some of the old
workers for independence.
HERCULEAN TASK
It was Patel, by the way, who performed the Herculean task of bringing the some 600 Princely States
into the structure of the new democracy. It required a man-toth
tough and practical to take away
the thronts of these descendants of
long lines of rulers and make 'em
like it. ,
Maharajah Jam Saheb of Navanagar is one of the few Indian
Princes who early recognized the
writing on the wall as meaning
"finis" to the reigns of those potentates who had the power of life
and death over their subjects, and
amassed wealth beyond imagination. He took his demotion with a
grin, surrendered his torrential income to the new Government, and
fitted himself successfully into the
democratic regime.

VICTORIA, B. C, Dec. 19 (CP)
If Oak Bay Council asked residents
of Gordon Head, Cadboro Bay and
the Panhandle to petition for secession from Saanich, Councillor
Leslie H. Passmore thinks it was
the "most unscrupulous piece of
gerrymandering" to which he has
seen an elected group stoop.
The Councillor made- these remarks at a Saanich Council meeting last night, and stressed that he
was: only going by a press report
that ratepayers have stated Oak
Bay Council asked that the petition

Oak Bay voters turned down acceptance of the area in Saturday's
