Would Build Gas
Pipe Line
Through Kootenay
Prairie Transmission Lines Seeks
Okay for Tube* From Pincher Creek,
Through Crow, Into U. S.ar Waneta
OTTAWA, Dec. 29 (CP)—Prairie Transmission Lines
Limited,'Whose incorporation raised a storm in the Commons
this year, has filed application for a natural gas pipeline
route from Alberta to the Canadian West coast by way of the
United States.
, the application, before the Board of Transport Commissioners, calls for.a line from Alberta's Pincher Creek
area crossing the Rockies through .the Crow's Nest Pass.    .
It would dip into the U. S. at Waneta, B. C, running
through the State of Washington and emerging into Canada
near White Rock, B. C. The Mainland terminus is Vancouver.
The Company also asks for permission to construct a
pipeline from a point on the International Boundary, about
6Vi miles East of Victoria running to Victoria and Sidney on
Vancouver Island.
The Company does not explain how it proposes to get
the gas ,across the stretch of water between the Mainland
and Vancouver Island, but a map accompanying the application apparently indicates this would be done through some
outlet in the State of Washington.     •    •; .
The Transport Board has set down hearings on the application for Feb. 5.
On Jan. 8,the Board is to hear an application from 'West-
coast Transmission Company for a natural gas pipeline route*
from Alberta to Vancouver over a Northern route touching
at Dawson Creek and Prince George, B. C.

REDS DRIVE
AMERICANS BACK
Front Reported
Quiet as Enemy
Builds Up Forces
By   ROBERT   EUNSON
TOKYO, Dec. 30 (Saturday)
(AP)—A jorce of 5000 Communist
troops drove back United Nations
troops three to eight miles on the
Eastern Korea front yesterday, the
United States Eighth Army said
today.
A briefing officer said the strong
Red force was 32 miles inland from
the East coast and 10 to 12 miles
South of parallel 38, the old dividing line between South Korea and
North Korea.;
This, is the'"ijarpe general area
where U. N. withdrawals were reported the day before.
There still was no '(j.gn of the big
Red push which Allied officers believe will come soon. '■
In the West, the Chinese and
North  Korean Communists' continued their big build-up. They
moved ever closer to Seoul, the
menaced capital of South Korea.
The   peninsula-wide   front   was
reported   relatively   quiet,    aside
from the action near the Eastern
end, Patrol activity continued.
"The enemy continues to probe
and reconnoitre in the forward
areas, resulting in patrol clashes
with U. N. troops," an Eighth
Army spokesman said. .
"Elements of U. N. units .on -the
fight central sector of the line advanced 1000 to 1500 yards against
no enemy resistance."
The spokesman did not pin-point
the scene of that advance.

Industrial Output
Up in Britain
LONDON, Dec. 29 (CP)—'British
industrial output jumped eight per
cent in 1950, permitting bigger ex.
port sales and helping Britain to
get along without further Marshall
Aid dollars after Jan. 1, Hugh
Gaitskell, Chancellor of the Ex
chequer, said today,   -
"There has been a great surge
forward which has brought us to
our immediate objective to pay our
way as a nation and to stand on
our own feet," Gaitskell said in an
address opening an industrial productivity show.
"We cannot yet be sure how firm
our foothold is. We know that
storms are threatening to blow us
back and that we may be forced to
retreat. Even so, we can feel some
modest pride and satisfaction in
what has been achieved in the past
year."
NUMBER 211
Subdued New Years'
Frolicking Predicted
.'■'. BY THE CANADIAN PRESS
Canada's New Year celebration may be quieter than usual.   .
Most Canadians pbserved Christmas with such enthusiasm that
many of them are expected to mark the arrival of 1951 with family •
gatherings in their own homes. Others, off work for the Christmas
festivities, will be at their jobs. '.'
A Canadian Press cross-Canada survey today indicates also that
the revelry will probably be subdued to some extent due to New
Year's Eve falling on Sunday. Public liquor sale is ruled out on Sunday. Many hotels and night clubs have shifted their New Year's parties to Saturday nights, while others, including two Toronto hotels,
have cancelled them,
Still other night spots plan to hold New Year's Eve parties with
programs changed from the usual pattern. The celebrations will start
late Sunday night with special dinners and floor shows and th»n
three hours of dancing will get under way after the whistles blow
at midnight.    . . ." '
This type of party will be staged in Halifax. Toronto. Vancouver,'
Ottawa and Winnipeg. Ticket prices range from $12 to $20 a couple <
but free-spenders expect to foot the bill for up to $40 with the inclusion of such Items as taxis, corsages and tips.
Motion picture theatre operators expect midnight shows to draw
large crowds in Vancouver, Saint John, N.B., Winnipeg and many
other cities.    . ■■','-■-■>
In both the big cities and smaller centres, indications point to an
unusually large number of parties in private clubs and in homes,
Traditional "jour de Pan" feasting and house-to-house family parties will be the highlight of the year-end ln most sections of Quebec
Province. In many French-Canadian, homes, New Year's still is gift
day.
Numerous Canadians of Scottish ancestry also will concentrate
their close-of-the-year celebrating on the coming weekend, rather
than on Christmas.
The din of Halifax harbor sirens greeting the New Year will be
louder and more raucous this season than in other recent years.
Ocean traffic is unusually heavy at present at the Atlantic port.
Stern warnings against driving after drinking have been issued
by police chiefs across the land. Law officers who exercised special
vigilance during Christmas weekend will again be on the watch in
case tipsy New Year's celebrants try to get behind the wheel.

The letter contained a petition
to the King laying down certain
conditions under which the 485-
pound relic would be returned to
the authorities.
One of the conditions was that
the stone should be retained in
Scotland in a place to be selected
by, the King.
vThe petition gave as proof of good
faith a description of hitherto un-
publicizM faults in a watch left
in Westminster Abbey when the
stone was stollen from there early
Christmas morning.
Police did not immediately com
mention the new information.
Police have suspected that the
theft was engineered by Scottish
Nationalists. The sandstone block
was used in the coronation of Scottish kings long before it fell into
English hands.
A close watch has been kept on
highway and  rail  traffic In'
effort to  prevent it from  being
carried to Scotland.

Nelson Business Centre
Expands With '50 Building
Year Sees Infirmary Opened,
Fairview Heights Develop;
Two New Churches, Clinic Begun
Nelson's business section was extended markedly In
1950.
No new buildings sprang up on Bake,r Street, but in ad^
jacent blocks many smart modern structures npw stand on
what were vacant, rubbish-strewn lots.
This broadening of the business area beyond Nelson's
two main streets, Baker and Vernon, has been an outstanding point in.the'City's business
growth this year and in 1949.
Ever-rising building costs and
shortages of such materials as cement deterred a number of builders-to-be, but. notwithstanding, major building projects in the last
year have vied in number to those
of the last two years.
The most prepossessing of 1950
business section undertakings is the
new Medical Associate Clinic at the
corner of Hendryx and Vernon
Streets. A group of Nelson doctors
and associated services will move
in when the $110,000 reinforced concrete building is completed in the
Spring.
Another atlractive addition to
"East end" is a three-business
building erected for Kerby Gren
fell in the 400-block on Hall Street,
Its full-view windows and roomy
premises house Nelson Upholstery,
Well's   Service'   Shop   and   Craft
North Victoria Street got its first
business establishment in August
with the opening of jonella Cleaners', a brick tile and concrete, flat-
roofed up-to-date dry cleaning job
in the 400 block.
T. Connor's Diamond Drilling
C o m p a ny, Ltd., of Vancouver
spruced up "wholesale row" with a
concrete-block ■ building in the 500
block of P.jbpt.'j'itreet which contains a warehouse, repair shop and
office. Work has taken 2% months
and over the New Year it will be
practically completed.
Improvements were also made lo
the business section with renova
tions to City Drug and Stationery
Company and New Grand Hotel, W.
H. Malkin Company, Ltd., warehouse was enlarged.
FAIRVIEW STORE
Upper Fairview residents have ai
new general store because of a
building venture undertaken by T.
Harry Hulls in the Summer months.
It is known as "Harry's" and its location is the corner of Davies and
Seventh. '
A five-cabin auto court that carries the banner "Phillips Motel"
was opened ln August by Mr. and
Mrs. Robert Phillips on Hall Mines
Road, and has catered to the tourist trade since. Plans are to attach
more cabins to the pumice-stone,
block structure in a U shape.
And speaking of openings, the big
one of the year for Nelson was the
opening of Mount St. Francis, which
although it had taken most ot 1949
to raise, had the finishing touches
put on in the early part of this year.
The half-million infirmary also
"opened" Fairview Heights, a rapidly developing residential area, A
new cabin rental and woodworking
undertaking has also opened ln this
section.
A   former   business building on
Latimer Street was adapted for use
as the new.'Notre Dame College.
Two   wldelv-senarated   areas
rang with the clatter of work
men'» hammers at., churches
arose.
A Ukrainian Greek Catholic
Church at the corner of Hall
Mines Road and Observatory
Street, which opened earlier this
month, will be finished by May
with painting of Its interior and
erection of a steeple.     ,
The other, a Baptist Church, at
the corner of Cottonwood and
Fourth in Fairview, Is well on Its
way to completion. A two-level
rear section will be opened Jan.
21, and its lower half will serve
ai the worship centre until the
church sanctuary Is completed In
the Spring. • >
MORE COMING
A peek into 1951 reveals there
won't be any slackening in the
building pace.
Nelson branch of the Canadian
Bank of Commerce has had plans
approved for a 30-foot rear extension wnich will bring its office to
twice its size and accommodate a
new vault. The next section will
take four or -five months to complete.
Greyhound Lines, Ltd. (Western
Canadian) will go ahead with plans
for a modern two-storey depot and
cafe at the corner of Baker and
Hall Streets. A start on this project
has already been made.
X Legislature
To Open Feb. 20
VICTORIA, B. C, Dec. 29 (CP)
—The 1951 session of the Provincial Legislature will open Tuesday,
Feb. 20, Acting Premier Herbert
Anscomb announced today. '
The' Legislature opened its last
session on Feb. 14.
Preparations for the session are
beginning immediately and reviews
by the Cabinet of estimates of expenditures for the various departments' of Government for the com
ing year are ,', expected to start
shortly.
It is expected also that economy
will be the key note again in.the
estimate reviews. Last year the
Cabinet instructed department
heads to cut budgets to the limit.
Despite the order, the total budget was the biggest ever—$105,558,-
000,    ;',.-
The talk now Is that the 1951
budget-will be greater, perhaps by
$7,000,000.
and today and almost on the eve of
his departure Sunday for the conference of Commonwealth Prime
Ministers opening in London Jan. 4.
, He made these other statements:
1. The position of Canada's special
10,000-man force is the same as it
was when it was formed in August
—that it will go when fully trained
to the theatre in which it can be
best used,
.This could be either Korea or
Western Europe.
2. Consideration has been given
to the revival of women's units in
the armed forces, but he could not
say anything until Parliament meets
3. He still does pot think, there is
:^ny immediate pfospect of a world
war. He does not expect to see one
in his lifetime, and, he added, he
is still in good health. He will be 69
in February.
4. Agriculture Minister Gardiner
is expected to make an announce-
ihent shortly, on British food contracts.
5. He hopes External Affairs Minister Pearson,will be able to join
him in London before the end of the
conference there.. Meantime, Mr.
Pearson is returning, to the United
Nations at Lake Success.
When Parliament opens Its new
session,. Or. W. H. McMillan, newly-elected   Liberal   member   for
Welland, will move the adoption
of Its reply to the Speech from
The Throne and Maurice Breton,
new   Liberal   from   Jolllete-l'As-
somptlon-Montcaim, will second It.
The session will swing under way
when   George   Drew,   Progressive
Conservative Leader, joins the debate Thursday, Feb. 1.
The standing, in the House of
Commons now is:
Liberals 185; Progressive Conservatives 43; C.C.W. 13; Social Credit
10; Independent five, Independent-
Liberal four; vacant two; total 262.
The vacancies are in the Prince
Edward Island riding of Queens and
the Manitoba riding of Brandon.
Mr. St. Laurent said he felt it
would be a good sign if Mr. Pearson, a member of the U.N. cease-fire
committee on Korea, were able to
join him in London. It would mean
that things Were going well at Lake
Success.
He would be in touch with Mr.
He could not say precisely what
the agenda will be for the London meeting, which will be behind
closed doors. He plans to fly from
Ottawa Sunday afternoonwlth his
aides,
Mr. St. Laurent noted that the
Cabinet has been holding long sessions, but said he naturally could
not disclose all those things that
had come before it,
However, he could say in a general way that the Cabinet had been
giving "the whole situation very
careful consideration," the Government would have "very concrete .
proposals" to submit to Parliament
when it meets.     ...       .......
'A reporter asked'if he could say
what those proposals would coyer.
"Well, now," Mr. St. Laurent replied, "they are going'to cover everything that we think concern the
Canadian public at this time."
NO TALK OF
SPAIN RELATIONS
In reply to another question, he
said no consideration has been given to the possibility of establishing
diplomatic relations with Spain. The
United, States, arid possibly Britain,
are restoring relations with that
country.
Nor, he said, have any special decisions been reached  on possible
controls on rubber or steel, both of
which, are controlled in the United ,
States.
. Of steel, Mr. St..Laurent said he
knew that Trade Minister Howe intends to see that available supplies
go to the places where they Would
be most useful.
Another reporter, asked whether ■
Canada has been able to dispose of
aluminum supplies in the U.S.
Mr. St. Laurent noted that Canada needs steel while the. U.S. needs
aluminum, of which Canada has a
good supply, and added:
"We hope that the recent declar-'
ation that we are going to make
the resources of our two countries
complementary will be fully implemented."
Discussing Canadian contributions
to the North Atlantic Treaty organization, he said the question of
food supplies goin^ from Canada
to Europe has not arisen in any of
the negotiations in that field.

5 CHILDREN DIE
IN HOME FIRE
Parents, Three
Kiddies in Hospital;
Hydrant Frozen
LONDON, Ont., Dec. 29 (CP) —
Five children, from, two to 12
years old, were burned to death
early today In a fire, believed
caused by an oil burner evplo-
sion which destroyed their four
room frame house,
The swiftly-burning tiro on the
outskirts of London also sent the
parents and three other children
to hospital. They barely escaped
the savage flames which firemen
could not fight because the only
fire  hydrant  within   reach,  two
blocks away, was frozen up,
The five dead children of Mr.
and Mrs. Wes Bezeau: Russell, 12,
Lorene, 2; Betty, 4; David, 4; and
Audrey, 8.
In hospital are: Mr. Bezeau, a
trucker and 11-year-old Shirley,
both badly burned; Mrs. Madelene
Bezeau, suffering extreme shock,
and two other girls, Jacqueline, 9,
and Judy May, 13, with lesser burns.
BUCKET BRIGADE
When firemen were unable to obtain hydrant water for their hoses,
neighbors caried buckets of water
from a house several hundred yards
away. But the house was levelled in
less than 30 minutes.
The five'children who died are
believed to have been in one of
the two bed-rooms at the rear of the
house. Mr. Bezeau and his wife and
the three children .saved only had
seconds to get out The house was
engulfed In flames within minutes
of the explosion.'
The    oil-burning    space    heater
which blew up was in the kitchen.
James Sinclair,  brother of Mrs.
Bezeau made a frantic rescue attempt.
Firemen said he climbed into the
blazing room but was forced out by
searing flames.
When the firemen searched the
ruins, they found the bodies of
Audrey and Betty, in the twisted
metal of a large double bed, and
that of Lorene in a fire-blackened
crib at Jhe foot of the bed.
The bodies of David and Russell
were found an hour later in another
part of tha ruins.
Firemen said the flames in the
kitchen apparently cut off the es
cape of the children in the downstairs bedroom. To reach the back
door, they would have had to pass
through the kitchen. The only other
avenue of escape was the bedroom
window.

Canadian Dollars to
rants
OTTAWA,  Dec.   2?  (CP)—Immigration  Minister
Harris announced today a Government plan to advance
to prospective immigrants part of the cost of transportation to this country.
The plan goes into effect Feb. 1 next.
Mr. Harris said it will be made "on a recoverable
basis" to the heads of families or single persons who do,
not have enough money
to pay their own way to
Canada.
The assistance will be available
to selected immigrants from the
United JCingdom and Western Europe. They may make their applications to Canadian Immigration Offices in those areas.
Terming the step a "major development" in Canada's immigration policy, Mr. Harris.said the advances made.will apply to transportation from port of embarkation to destination iri Canada..
The immigrants, however, will
be required to contribute not less
than 30 dollars, or an equivalent
amount in the currencies of their
own countries.'
"Immigrants    accepting    these
advances, must agree to work for
a Canadian employer and remain
In the same type of employment
for a period of one year, or until
such time as they have repaid the
money advanced to them by the
Government,
"To   facilitate   repayment,  the
Immigrants will also be required
to give their employers the authority  to   deduct   amounts  from
their wages which  will  be  applied against the loan.
t'The period during which these
deductions will be made will depend on the immigrant's. earnings
in Canada, but will not exceed 24
months."
Today's announcement follows a
move earlier this month to facilitate the flow of much-needed immigrants to Canada. '
The earlier step was the conclusion of arrangements with the Government-operated Trans-Canada
Air Lines through which immi
grants from Europe could book
air passage from the U. K. to Canada at a cost to themselves of not
more  than $160—equivalent of a
tourist-class passage by sea.,
The regular air fare from Britain
to'Montreal'is $383.25. Under thai"
arrangement, the Government will
reimburse T.C.A. to make up the
difference on all bookings.
Today, Mi'. Harris explained that
the latest step—advancing of funds
for passage—was being taken "because of the increasing difficulty
being experienced in obtaining
workers who can meet Canadian
requirements."
8KILLS NEEDED -  .     .
"There are, however, many persons on the continent and in the
United Kingdom whose skills' are
needed in Canada now, and will be
more urgently needed in the event
of an extensive manpower shortage in the Spring of 1951."
'Re said the Government did not
expect that the new scheme would
be of Interest to those with sufficient capital to pay their own transportation since the plan would not
offer them any advantage.
It was designed solely to assist
those whose services were needed
in this country, but who could riot
afford to pay all of the transporta
tion costs immediately.
Mr. Harris added that the plan
does not conflict, with the policy
ot some Canadian firms of advancing funds to immigrants to help
them pay for their passage. These
private arrangements were expected to continue.

Seeks to
Increase Capital
VANCOUVER, Dec. 29 (CP) -
Permission to increase its authorized capital from $25,000,00 to $75,-
000,000 will be sought by the British
Columbia Telephone Company at
the next session of parliament,
opening Jan. 29.
The Company said today in a
statement that approval of the move
to seek the necessary legislation
was given at a shareholders' meeting here yesterday.
It will be necessary to submit a
pfiyate.bill. amending the act which
constitutes' the company's charter.
The company will also seek authority to change the par value of
its present and future common
stock from $100 to $25 and to do
the same with preference and preferred shares if it desires.
The Company now is authorized
to issue stock up to $25,000,000 and
has $20,000,000 worth outstanding.
A company spokesman said it was
likely the remaining $5,000,000
worth of stock would be issued by
the end of  1951.
Trail Council
Studies 1951
Policing Contract
TRAIL, B.C., Dec. 29 — A contract for the policing of the city
by Royal Canadian Mounted Folic,
during 1951 is being studied by
members of the Trail City Council.
Action is expected to be taken nt
the council meeting early next
month as no decision is required
on the contract until mid-January.
A larger personnel at a lower
cost per man and provision ot accomodation for single men, probably
not more than four at a time, will
be the major differences from this
year's B.C. police contract. It also
requires the city to pay for operation of the present police car on a
mileage basis, and to provide a
secorid car when necessary.
Other requests are for' more office space and a change, in 'cell ac-
o o m modaiion.' R.C.M-P. officials
were not satisfied with the site of
the prcseit c-11 .block in the -basement -of Ihe City -Hall and pointed
out- that dilTicutties might arise in
escorting-prisoners from the second
floor-of the- hall down to the basement,     -:.-   - -
No definate plans have been.announced by Council for providing
the space, but is reported to-have

one rink for the competitions. The
number is decided by membership
with each club naming one rink
for the first 60 members or less
and an additions; .rink for every
I members thereafter.
Earlier it had been reported erroneously that the top 16 rinks in
the B.C. Bonspiel would .qualify
for playdowns. This system was
used last year when the event was
held at Rossland, but the Association decided to revert to the club
representative system for this year's
competition.
Nelson Curling Club play-offs are
in full swing with 12 rinks competing for the right to represent
Nelson in the special playdowns
for which it will likely name four
rinks.

U.S. Coal Miners Won
Advantages During Year
m
PITTSBURGH! Dec. 29 (AP) —
The vitally-important United States
coal industry began 1930 in strife
and ended it in peace. But; new
labor controversies may threaten in
coming months.
The year opened with the 400,000
members of the United Mine Workers on a three-day work week. That
procedure — ordered by U. M, W.
President John L. Lewis—developed
into a full scale, cbuptry-wide work
stoppage among bituminous miners
during the first week of February.
The jreat coal strike of 1050 —
widely described as the country's
most expensive—got its start in
scattered refusals of diggers to
work any number of days a week.
Idleness spread slowly through the
coal fields.
At the time Lewis was seeking
pay raises for the miners.
After the walkout assumed proportions of 'a regular strike, more
than 500,000 men in coal-using industries were laid off. The total of
idle miners and other workers rose
to pear the 1,000,000-mark. Coal-
carrying railrpads and steel plants
were heaviest hit.
March 6, the U.M.W.' chieftain
f ordered all his men back to work
after he won wage Increases and
other benefits In a new contract.
The pact gave miners a new dally
wage of $14.75—up 70 cents. They
originally had  demanded  $16 a
day.
The U.M.W, also won operators'
agreement to a 30-cent-a-ton royalty
on each ton of coal produced. That
money is paid into the U.M.W. welfare fund. .The new figure represented a 10-cent-a-ton advance.
The agreement provides that wage
provisions of the new contract may
be opened next April,
.The coal strike hit consumers a
hefty whack in the pocket book
before the contract was two-weeks
old: The industry increased prices
of most grades of coal an average
25 cents a ton.
Lewis has given no indication of
his intentions about seeking another wage increase. But he is expected to reopen the contract next
Spring. He may ask for voluntary
wage increases by operators at any
time.
Inquiry Into
Logger's Death
CRANBROOK, B.C., Dec. 29 —
There will be no inquest but a coroner's inquiry has been ordered into the death of Nilo Koski from
strangulation. He was found Tuesday-morning dead in the hotel room
where he had been 'spending ths
week. He was 49 years old.
He had been a logger In this district for about 10 years, during the
past Summer - at Canal Flats and
more recently at a St. Mary's Lake
logging camp. He had left the camp
December 18 and is believed to
have died the morning his body was
found. He was a member of tho
Scandinavian Brotherhood, and was
born in Finland. He had no relatives in this district, but his mother
is believed to'survive him in Finland, and a brother in Port Arthur.

Driveway Building (alls for Care
If the driveway Is from the front,
try not to have parallel driveway
and front sidewalk a few feet
apart, This breaks up the lawn unnecessarily and detracts from the
appearance of the grounds.
Better a walk leading from the

room on the house side of the car.
On small lots it is best tp stick
to straight driveways. A curved |
drive on a tiny lot wastes1 a large
amount of space and may look j
ridiculous. Save curved driveways
for country living, where you may
have an acre or more at your disposal, and where a pleasing sweep
to the drive can enhance the landscaping.
Driveways and walks can be
highly-finished pavements .or the
roughest of gravel or cinders. In
the city, where lots are small and
driveways are short, the cost of a
good concrete slab from the street
to the garage is not prohibitive.
A country driveway may be several hundred feet long, however,
and most families can put the
money to better advantage than to
spend it for what amounts to ;
high-cost private highway.
A good driveway or walk re
quires a highly stable base, to pre
vent breakup and settling. Crushed
rock or cinders make an excellent
base.
Good drainage is important,,too.
A drive built in a low spot will
collect water, possibly become impassable in wet weather, and certainly will be damaged if water
stands for long periods.
If the most desirable driveway
or walk location is low, it may be
possible to add coarse gravel fill
to bring the general grade up to
or slightly higher than the surrounding ground.
Lawn covering can be brought
up flush with the top of the drive
it allowed to slope downward
slightly on at least one side.
NEW YORK, Dec. 29 (CP)-Urge
to new rearmament demand for
non-ferrous metals in the United
States came in 1950 at a time when
the industry already was hard-
pressed to meet heavy civilian needs
And as mobilization gains headway in the New Year, the trade expects to see tighter Government
controls on the use of coper, zinc,
aluminum nickel and other meter-
als, some of which are mined In
Canada,
For the producers, such curbs will
make little difference in the long
run. Their job still will be to turn
out every pound of strategic metal
they can,
But metals fabricators may face
difficult times  during the  next
few months. Many mills, foundries and factories which make me-
|   tat products fear ourbs oh non-
military   production   will   force
them to cut back operations or
close down temporarily until defence orderi pick up.
Scarce metals will be banned soon
in items such as autohub caps and
other   ornaments,   furniture,   jewelry, towel racks, ash trays,' stqrTn
windows.
Increasingly-sharp cuts are expected later in metals for electrical
appliances, kitchen utensils, build
ing hardware, television sets, cans
for "non-essentials" '•' such as pet
foods and beer. Substitute materials
will be ordered used wherever possible,
WILD 8CRAMBLE
Months before the Korean war began, coper and zinc already were
■In tight supply, chiefly because of
the ravenous demands of Industries
and the needs of the U.S. Government stock pile.
With tho invasion of Korea, the
metals market was turned into a
wild scramble by war-scare buying,
frantic inventory-rebuilding efforts
by fabriactors, and speculation.
Producers of aluminum and nickel
had to join, the copper and zinc
men in allocating their available
supplies to customers. Prices of
domestic metals climbed—ahd metals supplied mostly from overseas
soared.

Transportation systems of the United States are speeding preparations

The start of defence mobilization

Economic Outlook
Unsettled in U.S.
By JOHN TRACY,
Canadian Press Staff Writer .
NEW YORK, Dec. 29  (CP) —
War, Inflation and an expanding
economy    outlined   the    United
States economic picture In 1950.
The stock market weathered the
worst   news   since   the   Second
World  War and advanced  to  a
20-year peak.
But the outlook for 1951 was
gravely uncertain. Some economic
controls had been instituted; some
shortages were already apparent.
More of the same was in sight
as the United States was committed
to a semi-mobilized state, with
■heavy armament production • less
civilian goods than Americans had
recently been used to, higher taxes
and mounting debt.
Bankgrounding the 1950 economic
picture were these facts:
National Income was running
at an annaul rate of $230,000,-
000,000, compared with the previous record of $223,466,000,000 for
1946. corporate profits after taxes
were running around $25,000,000,-
000, compared with the previous
top of $20,911,000,000 In 1948; employment was hovering around
the 62,000,000 mark passed In
August for the frlst time In history.
Tho outbreak of the Korean war
in June gave Wall Street's big
board a setback, halting the extension of the 1049 bull market.
There was panicky selling and the
prices tumbled.
The market soon shook off its
curbs on credit, prices and civilian
June losses. Despite government
use of some war-needed commodities, the market finished the year
at just about the highest level since
1931.
Financial quarters saw the boom
this way; people were- looking for
a way to protect their money
against inflation and were buying
stock;. As prides of things advanced,
according to theory, prices of common stocks advanced because stocks
represent ownership in things and
the facilties to make things.
There were some financial writers who said it. was aso an expression of confidence in the
strength of the U.S. economy in the
midst of troublesome times.

Amateur' gardeners may practice their hobby all Winter, gaining both pleasure and valuable
experience,: by forcing flowers into
bloom for a window garden,
A great variety of flowers may
be forced Into bloom indoors with
little trouble. Arranged on shelves
near a sunny window, they will
keep fresh throughout the Winter
the memory oi Summer days..  ,
Experience ,ln growing flowers
indoors is of value in outdoor operations, too. Tho gatdener sees at
close hand the progress of the
plants, and learns how gratefully
they respond to intelligent care.
The easiest plants •to grow indoors are the Fall bulbs, both the
hardy kinds, which are grown in
gardens, and tender varieties which
will not stand our Winters, but
grow vigorously indoors.
Some of them need potting in soil,
others can be grown in bowls with
fibre, moss, or even pebbles and
water. Select them according to tho
experience you have had, and the
attention you are willing to give
them. It is easiest to grow those
which flower in pebbles and water,
but more interesting, and a better
test of your gardening skill, to bring
into flower those which require soil.
Most bulbs can be grown in soil
a smaller number In fibre, and still
fewer in water with pebbles, or
moss. To begin with the latter, they
include the tender narcissi known
as Paper Whites (white), Soleil d'Or
Slee! Output Hii

PITTSBURGH, Dec, 20 (AP)
Steel production in the United
States in 1950 soared to an all-time
record of about 97,000,000 tons of
ingots and castings, breaking the
previous top set in the war year of
1944 by 10,000,000 tons.
The 1950 figure is an estimate by
the American Iron and Steel Institute. It compares with 89,642,000
tons in 1944 and 77,978,000 tons in
1949.
American steel mills established
(yellow), and Chinese sacred lilies;
the larger size hyacinths, ahd lilies
of the valley.
In bulb, fibre, which ls a mixture
of peat and plant food, it is possible
to grow in bowls without drainage
all the above, together with daffodils, early tulips, oroodses, freesias,
calla lilies, grape hyacinths and
scillas.
In pots with soil all the above can
be grown, together with all garden
tulips and narcissi, amaryllis and
hyacinths.
From this list one may select a
pleasing assortment of colors and
shapes, to decorate the Winter garden. By starting bulbs in succession, a bowl or pot may' be replaced
as soon as its flowers fade and a
Continuous display may be maintained throughout the season.

The, good word was passed along
to a neighbor and in no time at all
molasses had become the early-
morning pick-me-up in homes from
Vancouver to Toronto, Montreal
and,Ottawa. (One teaspoon ln half
a glass of warm water). The feed
stores and drug stores were doing
a roaring business.
Yes, feed stores. Because blackstrap is the same stuff farmers buy
to mix in feed mash for their livestock.
A Montreal dietitian warns that it
has "so many impurities that it is
not registered under the Food Acts
as a food at all." ■   ,
Dr. Pett feels the Canadian public
should be "more discriminating" in
what it eats and warns against
"possible unsanitary handling" of
blackstrap.
"You don't know its history unless you get it in a container that
has been handled by food processors,'' he says.      ,

Kimberley
Wedding of
Trail Note
KIMBERLEY, B.C., Dec. 29
Trail and Kimberley share interest
in the wedding here in Sacred
Heart Church of the former Ruth
Carter, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. D.
E. Carter of the Silver City, and
Donald Keen of Kimberley. Rev.
Father F. Monoghan officiated.
The bride's floor-length gown
was of white imported lace. Her
veil fell from an orange blossom
headdress, and she carried a bouquet of red roses.
Miss Gloria Anatosic of Trail, as
bridesmaid, was gowned in pale
blue taffeta. Her headdress matched her gown, and her bouquet was
of pink and white carnations. Julie
Evans, the bride's niece, wore a
mauve net gown complemented by
a Colonial bouquet as flower girl,
and Kenny Kline of Marysville, the
bride's nephew, was page,    fj
Some 30 friends and relatives attended a wedding dinner at the
home of Mrs. George Deschamps,
the bride's aunt. Father Monoghan
proposed the toast to the bride.
About 100 guests were invited to
a reception at the Deschamps home.
Decorations consisted of vases of
chrysanthemums, and the bridal
table was centered with a three
tiered wedding cake topped by a
miniature bride and groom and
flanked by tall tapers.
Mr. and Mrs. Keen will live in
Kimberley.
Holland's
Kitchens
Ovenless
Home life in Holland is quite a
bit different from what it is in
Canada, according to Miss Margaret
Imming of Nelson.
The daughte rot Mr. and Mrs. T.
H. Imming, 509 Latimer Street, she
has just returned from a six-week
trip to the Netherlands, Belgium
and Germany.
Miss Imming noticed that a typical Dutch kitchen, for instance,
lacked a stove and oven. "They
coook on a hot plate heated by gas,"
she explained, "and buy their bread,
cookies and roasts and so on."
The low countries, she said, have
almost recovered from the ravages
of war, and of the cities she visited,
only Rotterdam showed signs of
devastation. Food was plentiful.
"You would^hardly notice there
had been a war."
Miss Imming stayed in Holland
with aunts and her grandmother,
an daltogether had a "wonderful
time," She sailed from and back to
New York in the Nieuw Amsterdam
Would she like to go again? "Yes",
she says, "but not to live there."

Rose Alexander
Makes Debut
OTTAWA, Dec. 29 (CP)—Capital City society is primping for
what promises to be one of the
gayest events of the holiday season—the young people's ball tonight at Government House.
Given annually by the Governor-
General for Ottawa's younger set,
the ball this year has added significance. It also will serve as the
"coming-out" party of Hon. Rose
Alexander, only daughter of Canada's Governor-General, Viscount
Alexander,
Wearing a frothy gown of lace
and net, slim, black-haired Rose
will curtsey to her father together
with the 34 other debutantes who
are making their bows this season
to Ottawa society.
Among-them are Helen Claxton.
daughter of Defence Minister Claxton, and Sandra James, daughter of
Air Vice-Marshal A. L. James.
Flowers from the Rideau Hall
greenhouses will add color to the
richly-furnished lobbies and anterooms for this Occasion. And in the
great oblong ballroom two thrones
will be set near the life-size portraits of King George V and Queen
Mary. Here the Viscount and Viscountess will sit as the debutantes
pass before them.
A "FIRST"
This is understood to be the first
time Ottawa debutantes have been
presented to a. Governor-General at
a'"Government House function.
The "debs" will go into the ballroom to "wait .while Their Excellencies receive the other guests.
Then the Governor-Geheral and
his lady will proceed to the
thrones. The orchestra will play
six bars of "God Save the King,"
and the "debs" will pass before
Their Excellencies, curtseying first
to Viscount Alexander and then to
the Viscountess.

To Write a New Volume
We turn, a final page and close a
book tomorrow. It is the volume 1950.
For some inexplicable reason man
seems always ready to see an old year
gone and to face the chances of a new.
Perhaps it is that man by nature, gen-
erally,-and circumstances, must be the
eternal optimist. And some will say
that with the dark clouds of a new
engulfing war surging there seems
little for man to look forward to, except that "eternal hope . .,,"
Yet never before has man had so
- much knowledge, so many tools of
. medicine, science and mechanics to
work toward a better life. And in Canada we are only beginning to realize
the possibilities of our God-given re-
. sources. With these things with us,
then, can we not take to ourselves that
hope and stride into the new half century with confidence that we, at least,
can do our part toward a better brotherhood?
Half of a Century
Sunday at midnight the world will
say goodbye to the first half of the 20th
century and embark upon the second
half.
There was a good deal of fuss last
New Year's over which half of the century we were in. Many argued that 50
being half of 100, the first half of the
century was over and the second half
had begun. But a little thought furnished the proof that the first half
would not be over until 1950 bowed out
and 1951 began. That will be at the beginning of the first second of Monday,
New Year's Day.
And the last half of the century? It
will end at midnight, Dec. 31, 2000. We
can predict right now that there will
be the same confusion in the minds of
men then over whether the new century starts on Jan. 1, 2000, or on Jan. 1,

Feels Bus, Ferry
Not Providing
Service Required    ,'
To the Editor:
Sir—May I be allowed to present the case
for North Shore pedestrians re bus services in
view of pending changes ln services and fares?
For some time it has been a source of
much discontent that Interior Stages Ltd. and
the Public Works Department acting for the
North Shore ferry do not cooperate to serve
North Shore residents.
Formerly when the Nelson Street Railway
was operating it was a common oacurrence,
daylight or dark, fr passengers half way up the,.
slope from the ferry to see the street car take
off on its way up town, leaving them to wait
for the next car half an hour later. Likewise,
lt was a frequent practice of the ferry to pick
up its aprons and scuttle across the lake, leaving passengers half way down the slope to wait
for the next ferry. t
Like a silly, childish feud, it went on and
"on in spite of frequent complaints to City
Council and Public Works1, the North Shore
residents being caught in the pinch from both
sides.
It was hoped that when the buses were
introduced this inconsiderate and unserviceable practice would cease. It has not ceased.
The exasperating condition still continues, and
It is not at all rare to be left by either bus
or ferry when a few seconds, waiting on the
part of either would have saved an unnecessary 20-minute delay for the pedestrian.^
Picture a Wintry day, 10 or 12 children,
wet and cold, their arms full of books, waiting
in a biting wind for a ferry when the one they
were entitled to catch had pulled out from the
Nelson shore Just as the -bus opened its doors
to allow them to alight. Many of these children have a long, cold walk ahead, as well.
' Picture, a busy woman hurrying from the
ferry to do her shopping in town. Ju'st as she
gets to the railway track the bus pulls away
and leaves her.
Picture any young girl waiting alone in
the dark for either transportation.
And picture any passenger's frustration as
he cools his heels in an open park shanty or
sits on a cold stone bench—when a little consideration and cooperation could so easily
correct this annoying state of-affairs.
These are not isolated instances. They
happen every day.
The ferry rests a matter of five or six minutes at the end of every trlpr Is there any sane
reason, barring emergency, why it must make
a quick getaway from the Nelson side when
the bus is Just arriving? And is there any
reason why an unloaded bus in full view of
the ferry should not hurry itself a trifle down
Morgan and Fifth Streets so as not to miss
that ferry? And is there anything to support
such a bus leaving right on the dot without
ascertaining whether a ferry is arriving or not.
Under such circumstances North Shore
residents will naturally make any other arrangement possible for getting to town and
home again. •'        ' -
Rearrangement of the present 20-minute
bus and ferry services are both feasible and
necessary. Were the bus to arrive two minutes
earlier and the ferry leave'two minutes later
from the Nelson side, a four-minute sliding
scale for arrival and departure is therefore
possible without any inconvenience to either,
This would allow time for passengers to
traverse the distance between without danger
of heart attack.
The City of Nelson benefits greatly from
the paychecks of the North Shore residents,
for almost all Of the money they earn find's
its way in some form or another back into
Nelson. It "should be in Nelson's interests to
see that they are not overlooked when any
new arrangements regarding bus schedules
and fares are considered. It is the pedestrians,
not the motorists, who pay the bus fares, apd
the most interested bus riders are those far
from town.. They also pay taxes to provide a
ferry, and are entitled to more consideration.
With Winter still ahead and good resolutions
in the offing, now is the time to do this.
In general, it could be pointed out that the
buses are not as pleasant a conveyance as
were the street cars, and that at many busy
times such as noon hours and late afternoon
their services are far from adequate, with little
apparent effort to use extra buses to take the
overflow. Also it has been noticed that should

By FORBES RHUDE
Canadian Press Business Editor
Korea was the compelling word
In business In 1950, replacing the
words "cold war" which had governed the business baokground
for two years.
For "cold war" and now Korea,
with all they portend, have said
that no business judgment can be
made along the lines of historic
economic laws, Sometimes they
haye said It qulety, sometimes In
flaming headlines, but always they I
have said It.
They have created International
political   situations   which   have
brought forth  floods of money;
they have ensured, If nothing else
would, that there must be a flow
of goods among countries.
They have considerably obscured
another great factor which might
accomplish these results in  peace
and happiness. This is the fact that
most of the world is in need and
that the productive part of it 'must
be continually busy if that need is
to be filled.
They have hardly obscured the
fact that if the need is,not met in
considerable measure, then war or
war alarms must continue.
These are concerns of business,
and the background against which
it, operates. .
Once in a while the concerns seem
less urgent, and people again talk
in terms of old-lime supply and demand, as though the old-time bases
were unchanged. Then the facts of
the world situation kick such talk
a6ide, as Korea seems to have done.
NO RECESSION
There now is no talk of recession
as there was at the beginning of
the year; we do not hear of surpluses .but of shortages
It would be grim commentary if
this meant that the world' can keep
itself busy only through making
goods for destruction.
If the great aid given by North
America to Europe was in the first
instance dictated by international
threats, in the later result it has
shown that help to others by those
who can afford it, results in benefit
to all.
Canada was additionally tor
tunate in that her own needs as
well as the needs of the world
had   sent  her   Into  an   unprace

dented  development of her  resources which showed little sign
of running down.
Even before the Korean fighting
started in June, it was evident that
the civilian boom, buttressed by relatively moderate defence spending
was far from spent.
Korea placed upon this virtual
boom new armament demands, and
now virtually all slack is taken up,
and shortages of materials, labor
and plant are developing.
Canada's great industrial expansion now seems all too little; her considerable increase in population all
too small.
The great economic worry ls inflation—that prices may keep going
up and up and wipe out much of
the value of people's money.
Present policy seems to be to apply controls as gradually as possible
and give business and industry a
chance to show to what extent production and price'problems may be
solved without them.
FARM INCOME DROPS
In 1950 Canada's gross national
product, her output of goods and
services .probably exceeded $17,000,-
000,000; capital investment, money
spent on expansion or maintenance
of industry, roads, homes, ahd so
on, will be close to $4,000,000,000;
labor income probably was above
$8,000,000,000—all records, Farm irt-
come, however, was down from its
previous high levels.
In the meantime development of
iron ore in Labrador and Ontario
and oil in Western Canada continued; demand for lumber, newsprint
and base metals increased.
All this prosperity did not mean
that all people or all business
were without problems, In tha
business field, for Instance, sales
of softwear, clothing and such,
felt the drag of homes, stoves
refrigerators and so forth, on tho
customer's money? But In the
over-all picture, Canada rode a
high plateau.
And so comes 1951, with virtually
every one assured of being busy, but
with at least l-15th of national income likely to go for defence, with
a consequent increase in taxes, and
a likely cut in production of goods
for every day use.
All forecasts say that sacrifice!
will be required.
The Van Roi Consolidated Mines
Ltd., at Silverton is going ahead
with work on the property which
calls for placing the mine in production by midsummer of 1951.
Diesel power plants, adequate for
both mining purposes and the" operation of a 100-ton concentrator, have,
been purchased and the balance of
required milling equipment has
been ordered. Mining operations are
in charge of the Transcontinental
Resources Ltd. which undertook to
finance the program.
A crew has been at work on the
Van Roi for three months.
First shares of the Van Roi purchased by Transcontinental covered
500,000 shares to net Van Roi $100,-
000 or 20 cents a share. Of this
block of shares 400,000 have been
distributed to the.public at 30 cents
a share.
Subsequently. Transcontinental
purchased 300,000 Van Roi shares
to net the Van Roi treasury $105,0,00
or 35 cents a share bringing to
$205,000 the funds available for the
current program,
It is proposed to apply for listing
of Van Roi shares on Vancouver
and Toronto stock exchanges.
Raising on the high-grade ofe
body in the Hewitt mine of the company will be under way shortly.
The Hewitt ore will be mined and-
st»ckpiled pending completion of
the mill.

Army brochures on the Soviet
Army say,that although a Russian
division contains only 60 per cent
as many men as the U.S. infantry
division, it has 75 per cent of tha
Shock power of its American counterpart. This is done by employing
a large number of automatic weapons and cutting down on the number of service troops needed to support the division.
Russia with her satellites has a
manpower pool of approximately
726,000,000 linked together in one

West Kootenay Sportsmen Oppose
Kokanee Park Game Preserve Plan
Released
TORONTO, Dec. 29 (CP) — A
girls' team, the fabulous Edmonton Grads, was selected tonight as
Canada's greatest basketball team
in' the first half of the century.
Voting ih a Canadian Press poll,
sports editors and sportscasters
chose as the best team Percy Page
led to dozens of championship
in the ,20s and '30s. The Grads got
half of the votes cast and no men's
team received more than two.
Norm Baker, 27-year-old player
from Nanaimo, B.C., who Is now
a $40O-a-month professional with
Boston Celtics, walked away with
1     the best-player award.  No other
came   close  to  the  tall   blonde
coast star who has been playing
the,game since he was 16.
The Grads ruled Canadian Girls'
basketball from the time the Dominion  championships  series  was
inaugurated in 1922 until the team
.disbanded 10 years ago. As an indication of what the voters thought
of them, many decided they were
just as good one year as another.
Two picked the 1932 edition, one1
the 1935 and another the 1939 team
but most just filled in the ballot
with "Edmonton Grads—any year."
Undoubtedly the most successful
Canadian team in any sport, the
Grads roamed the North American
continent and Europe. They won
titles  40   times  in  the  Edmonton
League, they never lost a Canadian  championship  series,  winning
20 of 31 games, and they took the
North American crown three times
in four tries.
They played 120 games'in Internationa competition against .United
States clubs, winning 114 and losing
only six. They won all 24 exhibition
games they played in three European tours. Against men's teams
they won seven games 'and lost
two.      '
Two men's teams — Montreal
Y.M.H.A. of 1950 and Vancouver
Clover Leafs of 1947 — were tied
for second place in the voting, far
behlna the Grads who compiled a
record unique in the annals of any
sport. .
Three of the Grads were mentioned in the. voting for the Outstanding individual—Margaret Mac-
Burney, who established a world's
free throw record in 1931 by scoring
61 consecutive tries; Noel MacDonald, who scored 1874. points in 135
games and Gladys Fry who notched
1679 points in 161 games.    ;■-•".

'INSURANCE
NEXT YEAR?
It If you are in the select driver
' • class — (where your car is used chiefly for pleasure and no
one under 25 years of age in
your household drives it).
A REDUCTION in rates.
Why? Because insurance rates
are set by loss statistics. Experience has shown that this
class have had less losses and
are entitled to lower rates.
2 If your car Is used chiefly for
pleasure and someone under
25 years of age in your household-drives it.
An INCREASE in rates! Why?
Autos driven^ even partially
by youthful drivers had over
30 percent higher1 losses than
drivers in the select class and
the loss ratio governs the rate.
3 If your car is used chiefly for
"•   business.
An INCREASE,In rates Why?
Autos used for business were
involved in over 75 percent
■ more accidents than the select
group.

DUKE OF EDINBURGH, CHURCHlllf,
HEAD ENGLAND'S "MAGNETIC M;AL_S":
By MARY BURNETT
LONDON, Dec. 29 (Reuters) —
The Duke of Edinburgh, husband
of Princess Elizabeth, headed a
short list of "magnetic males" announced by Lisa Lengyel who came
here from New York to compare
the British "dynatype" with the
American male.
Miss Lengyel, a New Yorker of
Hungarian   origin,   ls   director   of
the Institute for the  Study  and
Development of Male Magnetism."
Winston Churchill placed second
on her list.
After three weeks here, Miss
Lengyel described the British male
creature as an "exciting potential."
But she said, British women complained of a "deplorable lack" of
magnetism in their menfolk. They
said British men preferred an
evening at the tavern to more romantic pursuits.
Howerer, at least among her>first
10, Miss Lengyel found such quali-
ties as "charm and restrained
force" (in the Duke of Edinburgh)
"pugnacity, defiance, and wisdom"
(in Churchill) and "masterful menace"   (in orchestra conductor Sir
Malcolm Sergeant).
"FALLEN LUCIFER"
Sir Malcolm, who came in sixth,
had "the appeal of a fallen Lucifer."      •;.-';, ■ L.'
The full* list was: the Duke of
Edinburgh; Churchill; Lord Lovat,
Scottish peer who led the "Lovat
Scouts" and wartime CommandiSSi
Sir Gladwyn Jebb, Britain's representative to the United Nations;
Robert Boothby, 50-year-old Coh'-
servative Member of Parliament;
Sergeant Harold Drayton, Londprr
financier; Sir Laurence Oliyjeip
and .Michael Wilding, -both screen
and stage stars; and Jimmy JB_ti
wards, mustachioed star of radio
variety.
Miss Lengyel said Churchill was
"a combination of Socrates and
Barnum and Bailey, with a strong
dash of Jack Dempsey—the most
magnetic male in the world."   -
Sir Laurence Olivier was "the
moody romantic lover of whom
every woman dreams." ..-■_
URGES RETURN
TO GOLD STANDARD
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa,
(Dec. 29 (Reuters)—James Morris,
President of the " Johannesburg
Stock Exchange, today urged a return to a gold standard throughout
the world, •
In his annual presidential address
he said gold had always proved
Itself irtdlspehsible- in the settlement, of international exchange.
Even in barter systems the final
settlement had to be in gold.
"Gold should be made freely
available, and the only . way'| this
,can be done is by a return to a gold
•standard—not: a return to a gold
standard in one country, but to an
international gold standard with
gold at a higher price than it is
today," he said.
CRIES BRING RESCUE
VANCOUVER, Dee. 20 (CP) —
A veteran Saskatchewan pilot and
his radio mechanic sat atop their
overturned seaplane for four hours
yesterday before their crys brought
rescue. '       '.
Rex Cllbbery, former chief pilot
with the Saskatchewan government
air, ambulance, service,' and- Fred
Hershey finally were taken off by
a police boat,.which also took the
aircraft in tow.
Their B.C. Airlines plane crashed
in a- fog near the mouth of the
Fraser River while on a flight from
Campbell River, B.C., on the East
Coast of Vancouver Island.
They were not far from shore but,
said the radio mechanic, "I tried
to swim for it once, but it was too
cold. I had to turn back." /

Unhappy Over
New Stamp
PRINCE ALBERT, Sask., Dec. 29
(CP) — Some officials of Northern
Saskatchewan's $l,000,000-a-year
freshwater fishing industry areh't
happy about the new $1 postage
stamp scheduled to go on sale
Feb. 1.    .'■'
After, examining an enlarged
photograph of the stamp.A. H. Macdonald, Supervisor of Fisheries for
Saskatchewan, said it ignores entirely the teeming fish population
of Western Canada's lakes.
"Why, they didn't even Include a
whitefish," said Mr^ Macdonald.
He used a fish encyclopedia In
checking details of the stamp's fish
illustrations.
"Now, let's see, what's this one
up in the corner?" asked the Saskatchewan fish expert. "Could lt be
a lake trout?
"The tall ls long and slim, but
this fin on top Is not properly plac-.
ed. Besides, it's on a slant. No. It's
not a lake trout."
After further study, he. decided
that another fish depicted on the
stamp could not be a goldeye.
"I'm afraid,' he said, "that this
stamp has failed to recognize Canada's inland.fishing Industry."
An Ottawa announcement said
the stamp is intended to "emphasize
Canada's great fisheries wealth." It
shows a "typical fisherman" hauling in his net in an open boat.
A ' former Vancouver resident
now living here said the stamp also
discriminates against the Pacific
Coast.
"If my eyes don't deceive me," he
said, "the fish ore all from the
Maritime Provinces. Not one from
the West coast."

1950'S BIGGEST LIE i
BURLINGTON, Wis.,, Dec. 29
(AP)—A Callfornlan who wandered fur afield for the locale of a
weird weather story was crowned
today as the World's Champion Liar
of 1950. L. W. Tupper of Patricia,
Alta., received honorable mention.
The Burlington Liars' Club picked this one by. Frank J. Gou'lette, of
Los Angeles,;'frpm a pack of lies
submitted ln its annual contest:
"One Winter, while I was working on a pile driver in North Dakota it got so cold that one night a
member of our crew froze 4b death
lnbed.
','The ground was frozen so hard
that lt was Impossible to dig a grave.
In fact, we never did find'out how
far down it was frozen. But this I
db know: Seeing we c'oudn't dig a
grave ,we stood the fellow on his
head under the pile-driver—and we
had to drive on him seven days and
seven nights before we got him
down far enough for a decent burial!"'
.   Tupper won honorable mention
with the following.'
"This Summer a terrific hail
storm came sweeping across the
Prairie and caught a bunch of steers
out in the middle of a lease.
"The Hall beat them on the back-
so hard that when the storm was
over every one of those steers was
sway-backed and  bow-legged.
"The owner didn't ■ kick, though.
The hail had pounded them so hard
that when he sold, them he got $3
per hundred premium—the steaks
were already tenderized."
