Supported" for the Berlin conference of the Big P6ur foreign
ministers. The count was 319 to 249.
■\ Although it had been generally believed/the assembly
;.would back him, the size of the vote in his favor was un-
expected. Some deputies had talked Tuesday, of abstaining
to cut down Laniel's majority. He urged all deputies Wed-

to abstentions.
"It would be better for the country to have a new
ministerial crisis opened than to have the executive power

To Paddle
Across Canada
1 VANCOUVER (CP)—Jean Bart-
holdi has always wanted to paddle
•cross Canada In a kayak and this
year he says he's going to do it.
I The 24-year-old Swiss youth, who
came to Canada two years ago, has
l tarefully selected his route, bought
the kayak and made his plans.
j An expert at handling the cigar-
shaped Eskimo craft, Jean says he
Intends to start on the 4000-mile
Jaunt as soon as rivers in interior
B.C. and the Prairies are dear of
'vice—probably in mid-April.
He got the idea for the trip while
reading French translations ot
stories ot the Canadian north.
S 'Tve   always   dreamed   of   this
trip,"   says  Jean,. a   dark-haired,
hUBky youth who speaks excellent
English.
"When I was a boy I read all
'the French translations of Gray
Owl and all the other stories of the
Canadian north. Now I want to see
it for myself and this seems like
;;the best way."
; VIA HUD80N BAY
Be expects the hardest part of
.the journey  will  be encountered
while  paddling upstream on this
side of the great divide in the Ca-
. nadian   Rockies.   Once   over   the
'bump he can "coast" practically all
the way to Hudson Bay. From there
he expects to paddle around to the
'bead ot 'James Bay at Moosonee,
-Ont,, then down the Ottawa River
lito the Si Lawrence River and Montreal.
Starting up the Fraser River here,
he plans to travel via the Slmilka-
l.meen and Tulameen Rivers tb the

60 miles to the Columbia River and'
start the downhill run at the Athabasca River, heading northeast to

Empty Gas Tank
Foils Thieves
VANCOUVER (CP) - It was
a case of lots of clothing but
no gas for burglars who worked
hard all night to rob a Chilli-
wack, B.C., store of more than
$5000 worth of clothing.
The loot, piled oh the rear
seat and in the luggage trunk,
was found by surprised city
police Wednesday when they
stopped to investigate an abandoned car on Rupert street in
Vancouver's Renfrew district.
, The clothing still carried labels
from the' bargain centre store
at Chilliwack, 60 miles east of
here.
Gas tank ot the stolen get-
'     away car was dry.

iel said.
He got the votes of most members ot the parties that supported
him at the time of his installation
last June 26 except the Radical
Socialists (moderiates). No official
breakdown of the figures was announced. De Gaullists, independents
and members of the Mouvement
Republicain Populalre voted almost
as a bloc in Laniel's favor.
Most of the votes against Laniel
came from the Communists, who
oppose his whole program, and the
Socialists, who oppose his domestic'
policies.
ISSUE PROCEDURAL
The test was on a procedural
question—whether or not to postpone debate after Laniel addressed
the Assembly on his policies, foreign and domestic. But he said this
was to be regarded as a matter of
confidence and he would resign if
the Assembly did not go along with
his request to postpone debate.
The Issue had been brought up
because of the Berlin conference,
due to open Jan. 28. Normally. Laniel would have waited until president-elect Rene Coty takes office
Jan. 17.
It is customary for French cabinets to resign when a new president takes office. But Laniel was
fearful this might not allow enough
time before the Berlin conference
to form a new government In case
his was kicked out. To avoid this,
he submitted his resignation last
week to President Vincent Auriol,
who, in consultation with Coty, re:
fused to accept it. Then Laniel
called a special session of the Assembly. . >
The premier devotjd most of his
address to upholding bis domestic
policies, which he said had led id
eliminating the country's financial
difficulties and getting a good atari
on social problems.   [.    ......j,, ..

OTTAWA (CP)—Canada is worried about a possible weakening
of {the Western alliance against
Communism at a time when it believes the Communist threat is as
great as ever.
•This is the interpretation placed
here on the speech in Montreal
Tuesday night by External Affairs
Minister Pearson.
The minister said: "There never
was much doubt that the really
setious strain on the Western coalition would begin when the menace
of.immediate aggression seemed to
recede. We are in that period
now... ,
"This is certainly no time to
Weaken the common front by dissension or doubts or indifference.
It is no time to lower our guard; or
start wrangling among ourselves."

STRAW-GRABBING
The Ottawa view is that in a
world so recently torn by war and
now divided into two armed camps,
there has always been' a tendency
for Western peoples to seize on

denote an easing of cold-war tension.

that no decision has yet been

In an . announcement, from his

the route of the proposed extension
is-an "engineering problem" and
not a question to be solved by the
government.
The premier's commentfollowed
protests by West Vancouver residents that they wanted no part
of the railway, which might: run
through sections of the municipality's exclusive residential area.
' In addition, West Vancouver
Reeve A. Hugo Ray said he is
not convinced that the proposed
extension is economically sound.
"I can't get excited every time
the Premier makes a loud noise,
he said;   "He hasn't been voted the
money yet and he has a cabinet
and legislature to convince, too.
*"But if an extension of the PGE
is economically sound — as proved by an independent survey of all
the variety of factors involved —
then I dont see there's anything
a junior government can do about
it."
However, Mayor Charles Cates
of North Vancouver said Tuesday
the proposed extension was "won
derful news."
Premier Bennett said Monday
night that he will recommend extension of the railway from Squamish to North Vancouver. The pre^
mier said he would recommend a
start on the proposed $12,000,000
extension early this year.

Sons Own School? Possible Agnes
Delegate; "Why Police at Night!"
VICTORIA (CP) - The Victoria
Times said Wednesday a spokesman
for Sons of Freedom including an
emmlssary from their leader Stephen Sorokln, recently returned
from Uruguay, Interviewed Attorney • general Robert Bonner
Tuesday,
The paper says Anton Kolesnl-
koff, Joseph Podovlnikoff and Soro-
kln's deputy William Msjelskl, said
they were "disheartened" after their
talk with the minister and "fearful
ot the reaction if the government
persists In taking children ot the
Sons into custody.
"Kolesnlkoff spoke bitterly ef
police 'who Invade a sleeping house
held at night to take the children
from their parents,' and predicted
complete collapse ot th* remnant of
goodwill that remains between the
Sons and tha government representatives.
The attorney-general wss not Immediately available, for comment.'
The paper goes on:
"Delegation asked tha attorney-
general to. release to relatives the
remaining 80 children of Jailed
Ffeedomitea still held at the former
tb sanitarium in New Denver and
to end prosecution of parents who
refuse to sand children to school
until Stephen Sorokln returns from
Uruguay."
"'Mr. Bonner told us that he was
notsin off lee to talk philosophy but
to enforce tits law,' Kolesnlkolf
*v.v£.;tv y ^yciL ■.
"'for 3M years the Soni have
fought and died for the right to
live our lives in peace In our own
way,' Kolesnlkoff said, 'and they
are ready to continue that fight,
whatever th* cost.'
WHY AT NIUHTT
"Ho had asked tha attorney-general, he Mid,' why polio* were used
for a truant officer's task and was
told that when the situation required that the children be taken
Into custody lt was a Job for police.
"They gave me no good reason
why they came at night,' Kolesnlkoff said, The police at Nelson said
something about th* condition of
th* roads.'
"Our people have already lost
confidence in the influence of the
co-ordinating committee set up In
Nelson,' Podovlnikoff said, 'and
their Journey here Is the result.
They want to hear the government's
policy from Mr. Bonner himself.'
NO POINT IN SOROK.IN RETURN
"Asked whether there was any
possibility ot Sorokln'i return from
South America where he Is seeking
a new horn* for the sons, Majelski
ssid that negotiations were still finder way in Uruguay, 'and anyway,
there would appear tb be no point
in the return of the leader at this
time.'
"The Sons' spokesmn maintained
that Sorokln's leadership of the
sect could only be effective If he

hid assurance ot government cooperation.
'"Under Sorokln we co-operated In every way with th* consultative    committee,'    Kolesnlkoff
said. 'We assisted their' Investigations) we wilted patiently while
the report wis compiled) contained ourselves when It lay In ibey-
*ne* for two yeirs    agresd with
th* plans for nictation lit-S.C,
• • < and saw ill our pitline* md

'"Convinced that nothing would
com* of th* committee report, our
leader set out to find us * new
horn* In South America. The best
thing he can do for us now is to
Continue in that effort,'" Kolesnikoff
maintained.
"He reiterated that the sons
would not send their children to
school when they would be taught
'patriotism and worldliness.'
"Asked if the sect would Consider
setting up' its own schools under
the supervision of the department
of education on line* similar to the
Hilllers experiment, the spokesman thought such i solution would
be possible 'but only through a definite undertaking between th* government md our leaders. Only
Sorokln could persuade our people
to accept compromise.".

Sons See Bonner Deputy
On Education Policy
VICTORIA (CP)—Benner-oirry-
ing, hymn-singing Spns of Freedom
tailed to intorvlew Education Minister Robert Bonner Wednesday but
held a three-quarter hour meeting
with his deputy to protest th* government's compulsory ' school attendance policy.
An orderly delegation' of about.
80 Sons of Freedom from the interior Kootenay area came to Victoria-' to protest th* government's
policy,
The delegation was apparently
mostly relatives or parents whose
children had been taken iway from
them when they refused to send
them to school. They wanted the
government to return the children
to their parents.
The group walked to the parliament buildings carrying banners,
one of which read:
"It has been proclslmed thou
shalt not kill, peiee on earth and
goodwill to men. Why prepare children to sacrifice for cannon fodder,
■torn and hydrogen bombs in wars."
The delegation first attempted to
interview Mr, Bonner but could not
find him.   -
Then they sought out Deputy
Minister H. L, Campbell ind sing
hymns in his office before miking
their protest,
Mr, Campbell said liter tha delegation protested the "quietly carried out" policy Of putting children
In school.
Ha said the government had used
the Child's Protection' Act in I
"few" instmess to tike children
away from parents who refused to
send them to schools. These children were sent to the New Denver
Sanatorium.
An official of the education department said after the interview
the delegation was told th* government would continu* to follow Its
course of insisting that Doukhobor
children b* lint to school, whin
accommodation Is available.
The group left for home Wsd-
netday night with some of the
woman weeping and tome of ths
mm predicting i delegation of
400 to  800  Preedomltss  would
pound on the government's door.
During the interview shrill women's voices could be hesrd loudly
demanding "what kind of a lie is
that?" through the closed doors ot
the departmental library,
One of the Freedomltes ssid
"some of us are mothers and fothors
of children the police are trying
to take away from us."

Reev* Wilson said that Tadanac
had no major projects lined up for

building of school and the hospital,1
parks hid not received the attend

creased accordingly. During th*,

IRAN TO BLAST AT
RUSS BROADCAST
TEHRAN,-Iran (AP) — Iran is
getting ready to tilt with her big
northern neighbor, the Soviet Union in a cross-the-border battle of
loudspeakers.
: For years the Russians, through
big loudspeakers on Iran's north,
western border at Jolla, have
blared Moscow radio music and
propaganda at their Iranian neighbors. The Iranians arent barred
from tuning in on Moscow themselves, but most ot them in that
area don't have radios.
A cabinet source said Tuesday
Premier Gazollah Zahedi's government has decided to set up its own
string of loudspeakers — pointing
toward Russia—in the region. He
said' no decision had been made
on how. many would be put on the
75,-miIe frontier.

that of a film club. Films range
from full-length commercial films

Described to Club
NAKUSP — A visitor, Ron Mill,
accountant tor Celgar Development
Co., was the guest of I. F. Morehouse at Nakusp Rotary Club.
W. G. M. Hakeman gave an account of an aerial trip to Revelstoke. The plane took oft at 1:30
The lake chore was discernible here
but due to fog and snow at Arrowhead, nothing could be seen. After
arriving safely there, he taxied to
Revelstoke, arriving just in time to
catch the. train.
Don Rye, president, reported that
Dave Duncan on a. trip last week to
Vernon found while crossing the
Whatshan Lake that- a wind ot 85
miles an hour velocity was blowing
and he turned back. He could not
even land at Needies, where waves
ten feet high were thrown.
Mr. Pye'described Remembrance
services at Ottawa which he had
attended. On the trip to Ottawa at
Nelson he. saw diesel tram units
with the master mechanic in charge
of diesels. From Cslgary he travel-
let, by plane.
The Armistice Day service at Ottawa he termed a "pretty wonderful if fair"., It was held in Confederation-Square, sometimes called
Confusion Square,. The cenotaph is
very striking. He said he.probably
saw the memorial ten times during
his stay there and seemed to see
something oh if each time he hadn't
noticed before. It had a concrete
arch and the group, of probably
twenty figures, pulling a gun-carriage, "is something really worth
seeing." He Visited the --House of
Commons and heard Kootenay West
member, H. W. Herrldge addressing
the House on the Veteran's Bill.
He felt homesick on visiting the
Member's Room and seeing the col-,
ored pictures of the S.S. Minto, the
Arrow Lakes, ofv Mr. Hertidge's
daughters and Gordon Mann.
The   eculpture   work   In   the
- House of'Commons "Is something
outstanding." Re-built about 1919,
'they were estimated toibe worth
eighteen  million dollars.  Today
they are said to be  worth  one
hundred  million dollars, In tha
Peace Tower, a book,' with all the
namea of the faljen la turned by
machinery, one page a day. They
are 366 pages In it.
He thought the system of microphones and. loudspeakers marvellous. There is a microphone for each
two desks, a control panel and operator to turn on;the rntcrophones,
near each speaker as he rises to
speak. With a floor plan, given when
entering, visitors can tell who each
person is and his politics.'
Mike Fraitzl reported that he
and the presiHent had visited, the
sleigh-ride hill on Sunday and
thought there was nothing could be
done tofwiden it out.

ROAD, WALK8 PLAN
Speaking briefly to the various
committees, Mayor Swan made a
number of suggestions for their
1984 programs.
Major project of the works department should be the hard surfacing of roads badly needed in all
parts of the city. The revised local
improvement   bylaw   permits. the
setting'aside of up to 5 mills, instead of 2, for sidewalks, tor which
a number, of petitions have already
been received. The property owners payment period has been extended from S years to 10 years.
Draining of Morrison aubdlvl
aion-to   permit  the   laying   ef
sewers should be started, a little
work to be done each year, because the 1963 sewer program had
- gone ao far ahead of sohedule, the
mayor advised that for 1964, It be
held within; revenue  from  that
department This will obviate the
necessity for  a   money   bylaw,
leaving the way clear for a possible hospital bylaw. ,
The finance committee was  reminded that while, the SMA tax refunds have been steadily increasing
the 1954 .outlook may  not  Be  as
bright They were asked to consider the trend of the times'before
bringing'down their budget
The light and power chairman
was asked to consider the advisability of putting in a substation, for
Marysville, as the present long supply, line will need-replacing in the
next few years. Plans should include
the setting aside of money to purchase - a suitable site. An effort
should also be made to reduce the
light and power rate for. the whole
district.
. H. Twells was reappoitned to the
parks board for a 3-year term. New
member will be Edward Green, succeeding A. Nicholson who has completed several years In- office.

Progress Brings
Television'To Nelson
, Again Nelson is in the fore in the
Kootenays through the enterprise of
its business people with the introciuc-
. tion today of television service to the
.residents of the Queen City of the
Kootenays. '
| ''. The history of Nelson as the pacemaker of the Kootenay has-always
been' based on the willingness of its
-businessmen and community leaders
to develop and use initiative in projects which would riormally appear to
belong only in larger centres.
It is refreshing at this time to witness one more notable contribution to
the fullness of the life of the city with
the introduction of television reception
via the "piped" method, Retails of
which are explained in a story and advertisements in this issue.

Missionaries and Nudity
To, the Editor:   ■■
'■ Sir—Mr. Denlson allowed his pen to run,
away with.him. In .his letter of the 16th he
wrote:    .   ".
"It (democracy) teacher, us thet disrobing snd nudity when practised according to a religious belief within the confines of the church it represents is, indeed, a symbol of purity in the eyes ot
God."
Mr. Denlson should know that when democrats took their religion to natives accustomed to a state ot nudity, the first action of
the missionaries was to teach'that nakedness
was sinful.
Then Mr. Denlson ends his letter with:
"After all, 13,000,000 people can't be wrong."
.Well, nearly 2000 years ago all the people
In the world were wrong. Then one man saw
the truth. And you know what .happened to
Him. He was crucified.

Creative Interest
We have to drive home to industri-
' alists the immediate point that more
intelligent people, while in some ways
more of a nuisance, in a well-managed
factory will be more productive; also,
the longer-term lesson that the future
of this country and the well-being of
its industries depend upon the avoidance of a race of robots filling in the
gaps in mechanized industry; and upon
the development of well-informed,
alert and eager citizens who understand the value of their work in industry, however simple their actual
manipulation may be, and who have
creative interests beyond their work
which make them think and act constructively.—Beryl Foyle.

They Fear Ideas
We (in the United States) put a
cloak of anonymity over a growing
underground of informers. Men are
adjudged on the whispered accusations of faceless people not known, to
the accused, -increasingly invaded by
wire-tappers. Anxieties and suspicions
are aroused until a community does
not know what to believe or whom to
trust, until even old neighbors suspect
one anbthir. More and mbre people
conclude that the only safe thihg to do
is to conform; either to stand silent or
to join the hunt. We cannot, blanket
this country with fear and suspicion
and at the same time he tolerant
abroad. We have frightened people
here at home so that they fear the unorthodox idea embraced by some
abroad.—William O. Douglas.

Interested, Grand Porks—Is it true that sellers
of singing <birds  often  cut  the birds'
tongues to make them sing more?
About 100 years ago in Europe this cruel-
practice was common, and many birds were
maltreated by blrdcatchers. In Britain a heavy
punishment was eventually enforced, and so
the custom died out'Apart from the cruelty,
there is no truth in the statement, which is
merely a auperstitlon.

Prison life today is a lot easier than it
used to be. "Yet we cann6t imagine any nor-,
mal person'going to prison by .chAlce,".' says
the Ottawa Journal, fioting the confinement
and removal from-family, etc., as not being
pleasant "This is as itishOuld, be. Penitentiaries should be enlightening and'instructive
and healtby-rbut not too joyful.",.'
Farmers' tractors on highways have
caused some serious accidents. Many are on
the road after nightfall without lights or other
markings, claims the Hamilton (Ont.) News.
"As a matter of public safety, such tractors
should be licensed the same as other motor
vehicles and their operators compelled to observe ordinary safety rules."

V-Day. A squad of OIs was engaged in painting barracks, being driven like furies by a
tough, .uncompromising sergeant. Just behind
them, another squad was busy tearing down
the barracks as soon as they were painted. A
roving correspondent -watched l.with much
wonderment for a.fOw mlnuWs, thin asked the
panting sergeant how come? He replied, "I
got my orders and they got-theirs, but I'll tell
you one thing: Boy! Am I having a heck of a
time staying ahead of them!"

Douglas Fairbanks Sr. was constantly annoyed by people coming up to hint,and saying
coyly: "I bet you don't remember.me, but we
met years Sgo at so-and-so's dlniier party,
etc." Aboard a ship bound from Italy tb NCw,
York he had suffered so muiy interruptions
of this sort as he promenaded the deck with
his friend Gilbert Miller ■ that he - was
rude when still another passenger began
the old routine. "No, I definitely do not re-~
member you!" snapped Doug, ''and I'm getting
. mighty tired of being botBtred by a lot of
insignificant strangers - who probably never
met me in their lives and just want to wireless
their friends that I talked to them."
The passenger nodded' gravely and said:
"Mr. Fairbanks, I couldn't understand better.
My name is Marconi."
Why the high traffic accident rate In

Jeffs eyes glinted as he saw me
come in, and it was evident from
his pleasure that he had been
awaiting my coming.
After the first polite preliminaries of conversation, he settled
back in his chair,and demanded:
"What do you think ot the P-TA in
Victoria?" ;   ,
..-; Jeff of course has no great opinion of tho P-TA. He is inclined to
belittle it, mainly, I suspect, for-the
sake of argument.        .
"What about the Victoria'P-TA?"
"Didn't you see that they.had
found twenty-two horror comics in
Victoria?"   ■-,
"Yes, I saw that, and I.think lt a

After all, we must protect the children."

them? Most likely it's those old retired colonels with the handlebar
moustaches; I never did think they
were very bright. When f wes In

"It's not twenty-two comics, but

no decision has been reached on
how to tally a number of challenged

change the outcome.
Lewis had turned over $50,000 to

Lung Cancer Has
Doctors Worried
By HERMAN N. BUNDE8EN, M.D.
Over a twenty-five year period,
cancer ot the lung has grown from
a relatively rare disease to'.one ot
the most oommon tumor growths,
It Is believed that there is actually an Increased incidence of the
disease rather than just more accurate diagnosis. Improved diagnostic methods have brought to light
more cases, but they cannot entirely account for the great Increase of
the disease.
MUST FIND CAUSE
Many studies have been conducted to find some factor, in our general environment that may be causing
this increase in cancer of the lung.
Though lung cancer can be treated by surgical procedure, a real
cure cannot be found without
knowledge of what is Causing the
dl tease. It Is In ait effort to pin
down the growth causa that various
studies have been made.
We have known for a long time
that certain substances can cause
and increase the growth of cancer.
Many of the common factors that
have been suggested as reasons tor
this Increase are the tar from roads
and exhaust fumes of motor cars.
However, lt Is not likely that thest
are the causes, since lung cancers
are just aa prevalent In the wide
open spaces as where motor cars
and roads are common.
CERTAIN TYPES VULNERABLE
It has been found that the inci
dence of cancer. Is most prevalent
In certain types of occupational
groups. It Is more commonly found
In miners who are exposed to
dusts, such as cobslt, bismuth, nickel, and arsenic, and in those dealing with radioactive dusts.
Recently, a group of one hundred persons suffering from definitely proven cases of cancer of the
lung were studied In comparison to
one hundred persons who did not
have the disease! It was found that
there was no appreciable difference
In their exposure to various dusts,
fumes, and smokos, and that canoe.' was not too muoh greater In
those living in industrial areas than
those living In oountry areas.
HEAVY 8MOKING
However, lt was found that among
other things, a significantly higher
oroportlon of those that had cancer
had smoked very heavily in comparison with those thst did not hsve
the disease.   .
This study, therefore, illustrates
It might be possible that extremely
heavy smoking may be a contributing factor In lung cancer,

CARDSTON, Alta. (CP) -Mrs.
Gilbert Lowry is a Polynesian princess who last sprint left her home,
1(00 miles from New Zealand, to
live here with her husband, a former Mormon missionary.
The talkative, personable 22-year-
old woman, whose maiden name
was Vela Love, is t popular speaker at town functions and, An occasion, has donned her grass skirt to
do the hula, national dance of the
Polynesians,
Mrs, Lowry. ssys the southern
Alberta climate Is quite a ohange
from the 100-degree heat she (eft,
It's summer ell the time on Rara-
tonga Island.
"But I never get homesick, except when I think of food," she
says.
She met her husband, Gilbert
Lowry of Taylorville, Altai, when
he was a Mormon missionary at
Raratonga. When his mission tenure was over she returned to Alberta with him and they were
married in the church temple here.
Now he Is a bakery delivery man
and they live in an apartment. At
her South Pacific home, she lived
In a modern dwelling with a cement base and a thatched roof of
coconut leaves,
OF MAORI RAOI
Mrs. Lowry says the Polynesians
consider thomsolv.es to be of the
same race as the Maoris, although
the latter era darker. She was
horn In New Zealand and when six
months old was taken -to Raratonga
by her father/ a lieutenant-colonel
In the New Zealand army.
She says it is only on festive
occasions that the Polynesians
wear what the rest ot the world
looks upon as a grass skirt,' It is,
she ssys, just like the Canadian
Indians getting dolled up In buck
skin and testhers.
The skirts are .not made of grass
but of the bark of the pnau tree
The bark is placed In sea water
for a week and then is so pliable
It can be woven,
For Parents
famous Parents
M Always
The Wises) Ones
By Garry Cleveland  Myers,, Ph.D
Children whose parents are especially admired in their respective
communities (or their achievements
in professional, civic or political
affairs, may have certain advantages.
These children also have numerous disadvantages. Sea what those
who esteem and applaud these
parents expect of their children.
8TRONQLY CRITICIZED
The normal faults expected of
most growing children may be
strongly criticised In such children
In the home neighborhood or at
school. And what If they should
lag at school or give the teacher
trouble or get into the police
court!
I'm thinking of the children of
ministers, of Sunday school superintendents, of elected officials of
•the town or city, members of the
board of education, presidents of
the local club* or P.T.A.s, the
school principal or superintendent
or teachers. With parents whb thus
achieve, these, children have favored opportunities, environment and
Inspiration to win social approval
about which their parents naturally
incline to remind them. And these
children often do turn out better
than the average children.
But when they vary in the opposite direction, their parents,
sensitive to public expectation,
may lean on this appeal unduly
hard. Then these children may lag
or err still more. *
LOSS IN COMPANIONSHIP
Parents of the types we hsve
been considering, with their marked
zeal for social service, may have
to spend many evenings and mealtimes away from their children
and thus may not provide these
children with ample companionship - s serious loss. Often burdened with I sense of guilt for hot
being with their children at much
as they desire, these parents may
try to compensate by lswlshing
many material things on their
youngsters, giving them excessive
luxuries.
It has seamed to me, too, that
these parents are often most likely
to be too lenient In relaxing restraints and requirements of their
children, or not very ' strong on
teaching them early the meaning
of No, or training them in sharing
In home chores. Some of these
parents, however, have so excelled
In winning the esteem of their
children as to cause them to choose
a heavy share In home responsibilities. These children and their
parents are fortunate,
But as anyone knows, it is not
easy for .patents to teach a child
to'respect the rights of others and
to do jobs which,he would rather
not do, when the parents are often
absent from the heme.
EARLY TRAININO
Obviously the child who, in his
early yesrt, has been well disciplined in a happy family atmosphere has had good preparation
at managing himself well snd
sharing responsibilities as he grows
older, and Is better equipped If his
parents must then be away from
home. ,
Voung parents with babies might
well consider the danger of excessive permissiveness, as they
look forward to the day when they
will give m6re time to leadership
In their cutnmunlty. even to the
time when their children may.

LONDON (AP) - Winter gales
lashed the Adriatic sea into a boll'
Ing torrent that burst through dikes
in::the Po river delta of northern
Italy;' Wednesday. Freezing temperatures put a thick coating of ice
over most of the rest of western
pre-dawn darkness, the Adriatic waters poured inland three feet
d<jep, Inundating five villages near
'Rovigo, scene, of disastrous floods
two years ago".
The water gushed over hundreds
of"'acres of rich farm land and
marooned shivering villagers on
ther rooftops. Hundreds were moved to'higher ground.

fa London, Berlin, Frankfurt,
Brussels and Paris workers went
cautiously to work along the icebound roads and streets, and huddled shivering In their warmest

The Po delta floods followed hard

VANCOUVER (CP) - Canadian
Immigration authorities hold the

dream of a better life in Canada.
Immigration officials here are
holding Hans Werams, 33-year-old
welder and cook, on a charge of
illegal entry.
He was arrested, here after he
jumped ship in Montreal to be with
his wife and four - months - old
daughter who emigrated from West
Germany last spring. His- wife had
written him she was to have a
major operation following the birth
of their child.
Werams is reported to have been
refused entry to Canada because
he held a Communist party card
for six months In 1948.

Fortune Sell Mink Goats
By WALTER GRAY
Canadian Press Staff Writer
TORONTO (CP) — A bevy of
models draped In mink sashayed
along a runway.
They moved In time to the words,
almost musical in their intonation,
of Jean Courtot, internationally
known furrier:,
"You must never look as though
the fur Is taking you for a walk.
You must be taking a walk with
your fur."
Svelte Betty Warner, showed,
definitely,' she knew what he was
talking about. With, a flick of a
shoulder she let $10,000 worth of
Imperial pastel mink ripple
casualy as a housewife shrugs off
her apron after doing the supper
dishes.
HIGH-PRICED GOODS.
Courtot and his models were displaying some of his high-priced
handiwork for the Ontario Fur
Breeders' Association and the
March of Dimes Foundation.
There were numbers such as
simple  little sapphire  blue mink
jacket — selling for $9500. And an
opera jacket in royal pastel at $8000.
Courtot, as offhand with his remarks as he was later in realing off
his four- and five-figure' prices,
gave his audience some tips in buying mink.
LIKE BUYING A HOU8E
"It's like buying a house," he told
his audience of about 200 socially
prominent men and women who
paid $1 apiece Tuesday night to
look, for the benefit of charity, at
thousands of dollars worth of skins
on display. "You must know what
is in it."
He said he bases his value of a
Dewey Against
Private Power
Plant, Niagara
ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) - Gov.
ernor Thomas E. Dewey Wednesday
urged resistance to what be called
attempts to "trample over our
state law and policy" and promote
private development of hydro-electric power at Niagara Falls.
Dewey told the New York state
legislature in his annual message
that "we expect the dirt will actually be flying" within a few
months on the state power authority's joint project with Ontario on
the international rapids sections of
the St. Lawrence River.
He said a bill before the United
States Congress, seeking to give
the Niagara Falls project to five
private utility ' companies, singled
out New York state "In order to
withdraw from this state the protection of long-standing federal law.
which still applies to other states."
Dewey urged that the federal
congress pass a bill that' would
authorize the state power authority
to develop the potential energy of
the falls. As an alternative, he said,
the entire question should be referred back to the federal power authority... •":  .   :
Ministry Frowns
On B. (. Salmon
LONDON (CP) — Britain's Food
Ministry, turned a frosty eye Wednesday on a palate-provoking,
front-page report that Canadian
sockeye salmon will soon be on
sale in British grocery stores.
"Just the usual guessing and
speculation," said a Ministry
spokesman, refering to statements
attributed to Alban Curtiss, secretary of the Northern Grocers Association.
Speaking in Manchester Tuesday
night, Curtiss predicted Canadian
canned salmon will be back in the
shops in quantity. "And I can tell
you this," he was quoted, "as soon
as this grade one stuff goes in the
shops it will go out again, because:
thousands of housewives have not
seen a tin for two years."
IT ALL DEPENDS
The Food Ministry said Curtiss
was presumably referring tb pending British allocations from existing
stocks, already purchased from
Canada, rather than foreshadowing
any new shipments in 1954, A
spokesman said grades of salmon
will depend upon what is available,
A spokesman for a national federation of grocers said he has no
idea whether more salmon will be
available soon. As for the quality,;
he said there certainly would be a;
great demand for sockeye, If the
prices were right.
Britain bought £1,807,000 worth:
of salmon from Canada last year,;
mostly grade 3, considered inferior
to sockeye and cohoe. It is understood no decision has been reached;
on 1954 purchases, though a new
"link purchase" plan gives ground
for hope that a relatively substantial quantity may be ordered.

■Why does a woman wish to buy

. Her reasons are "widely varied

Church Press Roused Against Ban
On
TORONTO (CP) - The Canadian
Church Press Association/ embracing editors of various Protestant
communions; said It profoundly regerts the action of the
Quebec board of censors in banning
showings of the religious filth

The least the Quebec censors
could do, the Association said in
a statement, "would be to permit
the showing of this film in churches
and schools which desire to use lt."
The statement said it was felt
the ban did a "grave injustice" to
400,000 persons of Protestant faith
in the Montreal area alone In "depriving them of the opportunity of
witnessing this magnificent film depicting one of the great heroes of,
their faith -f a man who notably
changed the course ot history."

Tension Mounts Sis
Release Date Near
By WILLIAM C. BARNARD
PANMUNJOM (AP)—The Indian
command today faced a new dilemma in the critical issue of what
to do with 22,000 anti-Communist
prisoners of war after Jan. 22.
Apparently the Communists ■ Ignored the Indian request to give
their views on the issue by Wednesday midnight. The United Nations command already had told
India it will Insist on release of
prisoners as provided in the truce
agreement.
As the showdown date neared,
Gen. Maxwell Taylor, 8th Army
commander, in a statement warned
restive South Korea against taking any armed action against India's custodial forces to effect release of the prisoners.
While India was seeking a solution to the prisoner problem. Kenneth Young of the United States
State Department continued secret
negotiations through a neutral Intermediary for a resumption of preliminary peace talks.
MY8TERY MEMO
A new note of mystery was Injected Into the Indian command's
activity. The Indians disclosed they
have sent a secret memorandum
to both the Allies and Communist
commands. They asked a reply by
midnight Wednesday night but
neither side had answered by that
time.
Neither the Indians nor the Allied
spokesman would say what the
memorandum contained.
The prisoner of war problem
grew more sensitive last Thursday
when 135 Chinese asked repatriation to Red China during a head
count conducted by the Indians on
their own - initiative.
Both the Communists arid South
Korea bitterly protested. The Reds
charged that the head count would
jeopardize their demands for resumption of repatriation interviews.
Foreign Minister Pyun Yung Tai of
South   Korea   called   the   Indians
"armed Communist explainers" who
forced the prisoners to return,
At ihe same time, South Korean
officials hinted at armed action
against the Indians. This prompted
Taylor's sharp warning that the
UNC would discharge its "full responsibilities" to guarantee the
safety of the Indian troops and of
the prisoners of war.
The Communists have contended
that the prisoners must be held in
custody until their ultimate fate is
determined by a peace conference.
Prairies Whipped
By Sub-Zero Wind
WINNIPEG (OF) - Stinging
winds blustered eastward across
the Prairies Wednesday night,
bringing sub-zero temperatures and
typical January weather to the
eastern Prairies.
As lt moved east, the storm whipped up drifts of new snow and
caused brief dust storms in southern Saskatchewan and Alberta but
in Manitoba the weather office
said the storm was nowhere near
a blizzard. It was moving rapidly
across southern Manitoba Wednesday night.
Afetr a high reading of 6, a low
of -15 was forecast for Winnipeg
overnight, Snowflurrles were forecast in the woke of three Inches
which fell Tuesday.
All Manitoba highways were reported open.
VANCOUVER (CP) — Gerry Ko-
mar, 27-year-old truck driver, was
acquitted by an assize court Jury
here in a charge of manslaughter arising out of the traffic
death of Miss Maudsley, 79.
Komar testified he did not see
the woman when he backed his
truck out of a lane but had taken
all the precautions he could.
Teliision Service Begins in Nelson Toda
Mountain-Top Antenna
Brings Strong Signal
Television, crystal clear and free from noise interference, is being introduced to Nelson today.
This surprise announcement comes from Mc & Mc
(Nelson) Ltd. hardware, which for several months has been
quietly investigating the TV possibilities for this district—
and'found them more than
good.
Since Christmas Eve the viewing
screen on a TV set in the store has
given strong and steady "picture"
from programs of KXLY-TV, Spokane. Tests have now been completed and television is definitely
here,
It will be displayed In a window
today beginning at 12 noon,
Clarity of the picture amazed
Dally News and Radio Station
CKLN representatives who attended a demonstration at the Invitation
of A. Duxbury, manager of the
Nelson branch of McLennan, Mc-
Feely & Prior Ltd.
For an hour, they wacthed two
programs come in without a waver
and without a trace of "snow". The
sound was- perfect,
The Spokane programs will be
"piped" Into Nelson-owned seta by
coaxial cable, thus antennae will
not be necesary. The porgrams are
picked up by an antenna established about 6000 feet above Nelson on
the mountain above the city reservoir.
Technical' work was conducted by
Nick Huysman, who came to Canada from Holland 4H years ago, and
haa been a television specialist for
about a year.
Tests leading to location of the
antenna included hours of trudging up" montainsides in Nelson vicinity. When the site was finally
selected, the company cleared a
right of way to the mountain top
and supplied and strung its own
power lines' and coaxial  cable to

For three months thereafter the
St. Petersburg-Tampa Airboat Line,
ography between St. Petersburgh
and Tampa, separated by a body of
water, got an idea—why not an airline between the two cities?
At that time, before bridges had
been built across Tampa Bay, it
was a 12-hour train trip between
the two cities and an all-day round
trip by boat. Business people responded to Fansler's proposition.
The late Noel Mitchell had by fortunate circumstances seen the Ben-
oist plane perform in-the Manhattan races. He Interested his business colleagues in Fansler's Idea.
The city, frankly for publicity purposes, co-operated and matched the
a regular schedule, flew some' $1200 raised by Mitchell, and on
11,000 miles and carried 1205 pas-! Dec. 17, 1913, exactly 10 years to the

Into being:
On Dec. 4, 1913, a man named P.
E. Fansler arrived in St. Petersburg. He was a salesman and by
nature a sporting enthusiast. Already he had corresponded with the
Benoist Airboat Manufacturing company in St. Louis. A Benoist airboat had, in 1912, piloted by Tony
Jannus, a young "daredevil" of his
day, flown 2000 miles down the Mississippi river.
BEFORE BRIDGES
The Benoist plane, piloted by
Jannus, had only recently competed in the Wright Memorial races In
Manhattan, and seemed sturdy and
reliable.   Fansler,  noting   the  top-
and the City ot St. Petersburg.
Tony Jannus was, of course, the
pilot on that first flight and continued as the head man. • Subsequently two additional Benoist
planes were added and Tony's
brother, Roger, became second
pilot.
AUCTIONED TICKETS
Tickets for the first trip were
sold at auction and former Mayor
A. C. Pheil, with a bid of $400, won
the privilege of, being the line's
first passenger. Mitchell with a bid
of $175, bought the,ticket for the
return ' flight. After that, tickets
cost $5 a trip ind the freight rate
was $5 for 100 pounds.

We were glad to be of service to them helping them in wiring the system and Installing
some of the necessary equipment.

the City limits. From the city borders, the lines were strung to the
store by British' Columbia Telephone crews.
From antenna to store, 29,000 feet
of power lines and coaxial cable
were strung.
A service department 'containing
the latest and best obtainable In
instruments for checking radios and
television receivers of all types or
makes la being set up.
Beginning at 12. noon, 12 hours'
reception is available from Spokane. The station has been connected to the Columbia Broadcasting
System since December 1, thus all
network shows, including sports
events such as fights at Chicago
and New York will be available.
This means that Nelson viewers
wlil see sports events not available
over TV to residents in the big
Eastern cities.
The sound travels on a very high
frequency, in fact is known as VHF
sound, and the picture comes in on
another frequency. Two separate
frequencies are necessary, otherwise the sound bars would show in
the picture. The higher the frequency, the less the interference, Mr.
Huysman explained.
Mr. Duxbury said valuable assistance was given by a number of
Nelson men.
D. H. Mollison, Department of
Trade and Industry representative
at Nelson, spent considerable time
investigating licence requirements.
A. C. VanSacker, city electrical
superintendent, made it possible for
the amplifier hookup at the antenna site.
H. S. Telford, district plant manager, and V. C. Owen, commercial
manager, B.C. Telephone Company,
supervised the stringing of the
cables inside the city limits. Bennett's Ltd. hooked up the amplifiers
on the antenna pole In time to permit regular reception by New
Year's Eve. and W. A. Weallierhead
and Joseph Florlo of the Sunset
Lumber Company assisted In the
clearing of the road and right of
way to the antenna site by bulldozing.
The first express freight, flown
on January 2 to Tampa, was
photograph of the previous day's
Initial take-off made by The St.
Petersburg Times. The print was
being sent to an engraving plant,
Tampa having no such facilities
at that time.
Later The Times Signed a con.
tract to have copies of the newspaper delivered  by the airboat.
From Tampa came out   flowers
for, strange as It now may seem,
8t. Petersburg,  then   a   city   of
about 7000, lacked a florist shop.
Never was there any difficulty In
obtaining passengers and the line
actually made money.
Interesting factors developed. A
federal Inspector in Tampa wanted
to know what an airplane was, anyway; what regulations governed lt?
It was decided that the   airboat
came under the Jurisdiction of the
Steamboat Inspection bureau and
hence had to be equipped like   a
motorboat, with life preservers, fire
extinguisher and whistle!
CENTRAL AUTHORITY
Here, too, Benoist showed his remarkable foresight. He was happy
the federal rather than the state
government had stepped In. He envisioned the day when planes would
be crossing state boundaries as were
trains and automobiles. Better one
central authority governing regulations, than 48 separate ones.
This, then, is the   story   of   the
first, regularly-scheduled   heavier-
than-alr freight and passenger line
In the world. Its operation took the
airplane out of the "circus class,'
removed it from the novelty category. Instead of a "stunt", the plane
became a practical object, like any
engine, which,   if   properly   used,
could be of service to mankind.
There ware plans to continue
the airline, but these never mate
rlallzed,   and   tha   outbreak   of
World War I put an and to any
thought of reviving It tha following year.  Tony Jannus  himself
started training Canadian military
flyars. In 1918 he was In Eastern

Expect Change in
American IJC
WASHINGTON (AP) - Renewed
speculation has it that 85-year-old
A. O. Stanley, chairman of the U.S.
section of the International Joint
Commission, soon may be relieved
of his post.
The commission, which regulates
U.S. - Canadian boundary waters,
will have an Important say in how
the St. Lawrence seaway will be
constructed—if and when. It also
made the initial affirmative dec!
sion in connection with the river's
power project.
Critics of Stanley — a Kentucklan
—contend that a man of his age
should not retain such an Important post. As the seaway nears reality, it is argued, a younger man
will be needed. ,
The Elsenhower administration,
it is known, has made some effort
to replace Stanley. This attempt
withered when it appeared that the
man the administration had in
mind for the post might not be
favorable to the seaway.
"Highest" sources in New York,
it is understood, blocked the Intended appointment. The impression in Washington Is that the
block may have been thrown by
none other than the governor of
New    York    State,    Thomas     E.
ewey.

Important Jobs In any television
studio Is that el film editor, tha
general surgeon In charge of snipping, cutting and re-editing film

And no one knows the Job's Importance more than Aria Saare, T-V
film editor for the CBC's new television station in Vancouver —
CBUT.
Aria put the scissors to her first
television film during the birth
pangs of television in Toronto in
1952. She vowed she would never
go through the same thing again,
until the CBC's powers that be
drafted her as a member of the staff
of CBUT. The station began telecasting to B.C. televiewers early
In De,o6mber.
Previously, Aria worked with the
National Film Board In Ottawa
where she was in charge of optical
and special effects.
Aria, who speaks with a slight
accent, was born in a tiny hamlet
on the sea coast of Finland,
Her family emmlgrated to Nelson,

Trees Alight as
Queen Cheered
By QOMER JONES
NAPIER, N.Z, (Reuters) - A
Coronation scene came back to lite
Wednesday night when the Queen
and the Duke of Edinburgh appeared on their hotel balcony here to
wave to 9000 cheering New Zealanders.
Instead of looking out en London,
as they did last June, the couple
saw the town's brilliantly-lighted
Fairground and trees ablate with
colored lights.
But the cries of "We want the
Queen" were the same as those that
greeted her on her Coronation day.
The couple waved for several
minutes before retiring to rest for
a 100-mile rail tour today.
They will board the special train
after a public welcome at nearby
Hastings, then Journey to Palmer-
ston Worth, where they will spend
the night. En route they will stop
at Walpawa. Walpukurau, Danne-
virke, and Woodville.
Among the train crew accompanying the Queen on her tour will
be W. I. Inglis—brakeman on the
Wellington -Auckland express
which plunged into a flooded river,
killing 155 persona, Christmas Eve.
The Queen and duke flew nearly
200 miles Wednesday on their first
official engagement since they arrived at Moose Lodge for a holiday
on Sunday.

Britain for
Her Jet Policy
LONDON (Reuters)-Slr Thomas
Sopwlth, a top British aircraft manufacturer, said Wednesday Britain
Is losing her supremacy over all
other nations In jet production because of "timidity and complacency."
Britain's supposed lead of four
years over the United States In Jet
power "has not only been cut down
but In some respects has been lost
entirely," he said.
"We as a nation should now be
spending vast sums of. money in
high-speed research," Sopwlth added. "We are not doing it."
The plane producer told the annual meeting of the Hawker-Sid-
deley Group, of which he Is chairman, that Britain also is too slow
astarter in developing atomic-powered planes.
"We should not be content with
breaking the sound barrier," he
said. "We should probe far beyond
it, go higher and higher into the
stratosphere with our research
work so that those things which ate
mysteries now will be commonplace tomorrow."

Explosions Rock
East End London
LONDON (AP) — The Whitecha-
pel district of London's east end
was rocked today by a series of underground explosions.
The blasts sent paving blocks
flying, spewed flames for 20 feet,
blew out the front of a shoe store,
knocked firemen off their feet and
disrupted the supply of power to
factories and stores in the working
class area.
None of the firemen was seriously hurt but several suffered cuts and
bruises.
An electricity board official said
it was possible that an extra power
load passing through the old network of cables under the ground
caused a faulty. wire to smoulder
and give off fumes, which caught
fire. After that explosion, he said,
other weak spots possibly reacted in
the same way.

The best traditions, of a mighty fine sport are 'dese-
crated when hockey players start swinging their sticks.  "'
Hockey, is: first "of all a sport, and participation calls
for sportsmanship. Sportsmanship.does not involve one man
using a weapon on another./,./     i      -;  ;; <>'■:
Everyone regrets it when sticks start going high;, The
players regret.it, if not at the time, later; They simply dot
not get paid enough to risk the loss of an eye; concussion;,
or other such injury.' In fact, who does? The referees air
ways regret that, things got out of hand, to the point that-;
wood is.used. And the fans regret it.-Who else is there,-then,'
to justify high sticking?
Is someone going to reply the
fans love to see a fight? Sure they
do. Who doesn't? Hockey is a fast,
rugged game and tempers, at times,
are bound to be ruffled because
bruises are inevitable. But the tradition of hockey Is to drop that
stick before the swinging' starts.
Let players and referees keep within that tradition and it will be a
rare fight when there are serious
injuries and regrets afterwards.
There may be a bit of blood, and
a sore nose or two, but the game
wont be hurt and the, spirit of
Competition won't have been reduced one bit.
In all this, we have reference*to
Tuesday's sad affair between Nelson Maple Leafs ahd Spokane
Flyers. For the incidents that occurred we hold no brief for either
team, or for or against any particular referee. There were a lot
of mistakes made and they all dealt
with high sticks and not hockey.
When there are-fights, we hope
in' future "drop that stick" will be
the sharp order ot both coaches and
referees, and we hope that they
see to it that the order sticks. And
that two minutes is not considered
sufficient reprimand to whoever Is
the culprit.
A bargain: You noticed lately how
many Leaf recruits flow from
Seattle and Edmonton? Could there
be a bargain somewhere? If so, a
working arrangement of such kind
has long been needed and there's
credit'due someone if such has been
arranged.
Here and There .. . Marsh Severyn did a fine job of filling in
on defence, playing a steady game
. "... Gerry Fodey was by far the
outstanding Flyer on the ice . . .
We wonder when coach Willie
Schmidt is going to move Bruno
Pasqualotto up to a forward line,
or has he? . • .Marty Burton looked great on the front line, coming
close many times to beating Fodey
. . . Young players can learn a
lesson In keeping off the boards by
keeping watch on veteran Willie
Schmidt. Just watch him and you'll
see he's always got an eye on where
the nearest opposing player is and
a quick manoeuvre keeps him off
the boards when an opponent is'
bearing down. More often than not
it's the checking opponent that
crashes into the fence while Willie
has swerved away and gone. Foxy,
these ice veterans.
Muzz Patrick Signed
Up as Rangers Coach
NEW YORK (AP) - New York
Rangers dipped into the famous
Patrick family for the third time
Wednesday to sign Murray (Muzz)
Patrick as coach of the fifth-place
National Hockey League team.
Patric^ now coaching Seattle
Bombers W the Western Hockey
League, will join the Rangers in
New York Saturday, taking over
when they play Toronto Sunday
night at Madison Square Garden.
Frank Boucher,' who found his
double job of manager-coach too
burdensome, handled the club Wednesday night against Chicago Black
Hawks.
"Getting Muzz to handle the
coaching job will give me time to
go out and scout talent," said
Boucher.
Murray's father, Lester, one ot
hockey's all-time greats, was the}
first coach of the Rangers. His
brother, Lynn, also coached the
Rangers' for two years and now
coaches Boston Bruins of the same
league,
LONG NEGOTIATIONS
Boucher had been negotiating
with the 38-year-old former de-
fenceman for montha but Murray
had to get his release from Seattle
and straighten out his business affairs at Tacoma.
Brig.-Gen. John Reed Kilpatrick,
Garden presjdent finally convinced
Patrick to join the Rangers.
"Frank Boucher found the dual
job too burdensome," said the general.
Murray broke into the big league
with the Rangers in 1938. After
three seasons he joined .the U.S.
Army for four years. After his discharge from the army, he played
a half season with New York and
then took over as coach of Providence Reds of the American
League. Before moving to Seattle
for the 1953-54 season, he coached
at St Paul and Tacoma.
•SEATTLE (AP)—Murray (Muzz)
Patrick will return to New York
Rangers of the National Hockey
League aa coach, staking over his
duties with the team Sunday night
in Madison Square Garden against
Toronto Maple Leafs.
Expressing surprise at the announcement .from New York that
he had been signed, Patrick went
into an immediate conference with
business manager Frank Dotten of
Seattle Bombers. He obtained his
release as manager of the local
Western Hockey league team.
He will get clearance also from
business associatee-to nearby Tacoma, where he is 'Co-owner ot the
Tacoma Arena, artt'fwill leave Fri
day night by air for New York.

TRAIL—A bid'by the Trail Smoke
Eaters to take a firmer grip: on
first pjace in the .Western. Inter'!!
national Hockey League was only
half realized Wednesday.' night as
the Spokane Flyers pulled out all
the stops in the.third period to
force a-6-8 tie. ...
The Spokane crew were trailing
5-3.going Into.the final 20 minutes
when they countered with two unanswered tallies to force the deadlock. In the overtime se&Ion veteran Johnny Rypien moved the
Smokies back into a lead, but his
efforts were nullified on Bill Rams-
den's equalizer less than three minutes 'later.'   .     .   ' .   ,
The Flyers, who appeared listless
and Ioggy In the opening ahd middle periods, apparently found their
wings in the final as sophomore
Tommy .'Hodges narrowed the lead
down on a three-man play, from
Red Tilson and Bill McNally. Playing coach Wingy Johnston forced
the game into overtime near the
midway mark in the period when
he split Jack Gibson's pads with a
shot from less than fifteen feet out
Rypien came back for the
Smokies at 13 seconds In the overtime session when he grabbed Ray
Hamilton's rebound and screened a
close-in shot past Gerry Fodey.
Mike Shabaga set up the play when
he cleared from the corner to Hamilton on the bluellne.
Bill Ramsden, however, spoiled
the win for his former teammates
when he accepted' Johnston's pass
from behind the Trail net and sank
a two-foot shot into the yawning
right-hand side of the net
Two fast goals with less than
four minutes remaining boosted the
Trail Smoke Eaters into a 3-1 lead
over listless Spokane Flyers in the
first period. The Flyers, showing
their weakest display of the season
on Trail ice, weren't even in the
running after Bill Ramsden slipped
Ralph Luke's pass along the Ice past
Jack Gibson. The shot from 15 feet
out never left the Ice and slid past
the Trail netmlnder after he left
the net.
Mike Shabaga's backhand on a
long sweep from the blueline lifted
the Smoke Eaters into a lead be-,

Lengthy Holiday
The Nelson Maple Buds hit the
ice lanes Wednesday after an extended holiday.
Coach Dick Wallace reported 12
boys turned up for the session with
sides being chosen and a short
contest played.
Bobby Jeffs and Don Haldane led
their sextette to a 8-0 win as Jeffs
notched all three counters while
Goalie Haldane blanked the other
team.
Wallace stated the ice was spacious and any new recruits not yet
school age are welcome to attend
the practice sessions. Coaches are
on hand to teach the little fellows
to skate and play hockey.
The Dick Wallace aggregate captured the Kootenay Forest Products Trophy Wednesday evening
when they eked out a close 11-10
victory over Dave Meaklns In a 12-
end game.
The final was a close affair all the
way and it wasn't until the final
two rocks were thrown that the
winner was declared.
Meakins appeared to have the
game, when in the final end and
with the score tied he had shot
rock with just a small portion
showing. Wallace with^-his first
rock just missed taking it out as he
skimmed by.,-
, Meakins placed another guard,
but still left Wallace the chance of
another shot at the number one
rock. With a beauty ot a shot Wallace took it out laying shot himself
by Inches.
Meakins with his final rook tried
a draw, but failed when he wicked
off his own guard to give Wallace
the title.
Meakins in the first two ends
took a four-point lead only to have
Wallace fight back to even the
game after six ends. From then until the finish it was nip and tuck
as they fought to the wire.

England's Cricket Team Seeks to
LONDON (Reuters) — England,
having beaten the Australians last
summer and retrieved the "Ashes"
after 20 years, now is seeking - to
defeat the West Indies on their own
soil ahd confirm her position as
'Champion of the cricket world.
But there's a hard tight ahead.
Although the West Indians forfeited their claim to the mythical;
title-by their unimpressive performances in Australia in 1951-83, they
have yet to be defeated by England at home. On the last tour of
the islands in 1947-48, England
failed to win a match. And to rub
in their supremacy, West Indies
crossed the Atlantic in 1950 to win
a further test series in England by
three matches to one. .
The threat of West Indian spin
bowlers Ramadhin and Valentine
appears to have diminished since
1950 but they: can give plenty of
trouble yet Unless a new pace
bowler Is suddenly unearthed, they
are likely to carry the main bur-
den of the West Indies' attack.
MAY BE WEARINESS
If an English weakness develops
it may be In fielding. The stamina
of older members will be severely
strained by the hot sun and iron-
hard ground. Ot the likely test

Hdgan Named Male
Athlete of the Year
Clancy Keeping Quiet
On Maple leaf Chances
By JIM BA8TABLE
Canadian Press Staff Writer
Francis Clancy, who always had
to depend on natural skill and
fighting spirit to win the right to
the nickname "King," says he has
to feel his way back into big time
hockey.
That's why National Hockey
League fans don't hear too much
from the salty-tongued little coach
these days.
The King has chattered but seldom shouted since he took over as
coach of Toronto Maple Leafs last
March. Even as a kid,: TVith his
pugnacious jaw and slim frame,
King always had been boisterous.
"This time It's different," Clancy
says. "I'm in with some boys who
really know their business. - These
coaches around the NHL have
class. I'll just take It easy for a
while."
- Clancy, a 52-year-old native of
Ottawa, was never one to decline

right out and say where he thinks
the Leafs will finish this year.
"How can I tell? We looked lousy
in pre-season practice. We were a
little better at the start of the
season. Now we're going pretty
good — 18 wins and eight ties in
38 games."

late in the; season from Nanaimo.
In his eight games for the Leafs
he has played good goal and on

brilliantly throughout.
In the eight games this season he
has allowed 34 goals to get past

Wbrld?s Longest Bridge Span
To Conned Italy With Sidly
By DAVID A. HELLER
Central Press Qanadlan
Correspondent
Way pack in the days when
Hector was a pup -literally ~ and
a world traveller, named Ulysses
was making his voyages, the
imagination pf the ancient world
was captured by one of the most
perilous stretches of water known
to man—the Messina straits between Italy and Sicily.
So dangerous were these straits
that they were Immortalised by
Homer in his classic poems, the
Iliad and the Odyssey. Homer describes the terrors of passing between the legendary twin monsters, Scylla and Charybdis. Scylla
was a gigantic, many - headed
demon, sitting on the lagged rocks
of the Italian shore, who wrecked
ships and devoured their seamen.
Charybdis was an irresistible
whirlpool- on the Sicilian aide ot
the channel which dragged the
vessels ot sailors brave enough to
journey over the waters Cursed by
the gods to certain dissster.
According to the legend, Ulysses
sailed between the monsters and
escaped — but only after the
death's of many of his- brave
followers.
STILL UGLY    .    ,
The world has changed a great
deal between then and now, but
one thing remains the same — the
Messina straits are still one of the
ugliest stretches, of water in the
world — enough to give any sailor
the jitters,
That is why the proposal of the
Italian government to tame these
twin monsters by building a bridge
over them is making exciting news
in the engineering world. According to some, it's a bridge that "can't
be built."    -
The ihan picked to design the
Messina straits bridge, to be the
longest suspension bridge in the
world, Is Dr, David B. Steinman of
New York city, who has built
bridges on five continents and is
probably the most famous bridge-
builder ip the world.
The difficulties Steinman faces
are enormous. Besides whirlpools,
violent storms, and raging currents, th* water IS deep — nearly
400 feet deep all the way-across
tha two-mile straits. The main
•pan ef the bridge, as designed
Dr. Steinman with his design for the bridge that will Join Italy
and Sicily. Inset—The Messina Strults.
—Central Press Canadian
by Dr. Steinman, Is nearly 20 per
cent longer than San Francisco's
famous Golden Gate bridge.  Its
main span would arch 5000 feet,
compared with a 4200 foot main
•pan for the Golden Gate bridge.
Dr. Steinman's design has been
unanimously  approved  by  a  congress of the world's leading engineers convened at Messlns straits.
and the Italian cabinet is now in
the process of approving it. The
bridge   will   cost  $60   million.   Its
total length  will be 9800  feet,  a

Queen's Speeches Almost Lost as
Gale Flaps Papers in Royal Hand
* QISBORNE, U:z. (Reuters) -
' High winds made Queen Elizabeth
fhlfch her hat Wednesday and almost blew two prepared speeches
out of her hand as the young monarch resumed her official tour.
I Gusty coastal' breezes menaced
the Queen's bonnet from the moment her plane landed here. The 40
mile-'an-hour wind forced harassed
.royal secretaries to tape down the
pages of one of the two speeches
re read outdoors.
The first speech flapped wildly
Si the Queen's hand as she replied
to « welcome address from the
mayor of Gisborne, whose own
notes fluttered like sails.
' The Queen, making her first public appearance after a two-day rest,
laced the unwelcome weather
without qualms. Sue.laughed when
wind lashed her skirts and flung
■fer hair wildly, over her forehead.
SPACES GALE
.'. She faced the full force of the
gale for six minutes on a specially-
constructed lookout post over the
ocean. The hill lookout and the
road leading to it had been built
for her visit by the town at a cost
of $3000.
"I think * we'll walk around up
here," the Queen decided as the
wind tore at her hair and mimosa-
yellpw cotton dress. She did.
The wind followed the royal party back through the streets of Gisborne, where youngsters waving
flags saw the emblems suddenly
ripped from their sticks.
By the time the Queen and the
Duke of Edinburgh reached Napier,
i tour  officials  had  reckoned   with
- the weather, the pages of'the second speech were firmly lashed to
fa piece of cardboard with trans-
- parent tape.

Peace Talks
Critical Issue
PANMUNJOM (AP) - A United
States diplomat disclosed Wednesday that he has been feeling out the
Reds secretly on resuming the
stalled preliminary Korean peace
talks, but there has been no Indication that the Communists and
Allies will return to the conference
table.
.Kenneth Young of the U.S. state
department said the hush-hush negotiations have been handled by* a
go-between, whom he did not identify. It could be India, Switzerland
or Sweden, each of which is represented here.
"From where I. sit I cant say
when It might be possible to resume the conference," Ynung said
In an interview after the secret
negotiations were announced.
NOT IMPOSSIBLE   '
The talks broke down Dec. 12
when the Communists accused the
U.S. of perfidy. U.S. envoy Arthur
Dean demanded a retraction, and
ended the six weeks of negotiations
after the Reds refused.
Young said Russia's part in a
peace conference remains the critical issue. The Reds demand that
Russia l5e seated as a neutral. The
U.S. has insisted that Russia either
line up with the Communists or
attend as a third party bound by
conference decisions.
Speaking of chances that the
Reds will back down on their
charge of perfidy, Young said:
"I do not think it is an impossible hurdle."
UN Raps Qualify
TV Programs
PARIS {Reuters) - United Nations television experts have Issued
a sweeping attack on the kind of
telecasting which goes on from
early morning until late at night.
Such long programming, as in
the United States, lowers the quality of TV In a way to deaden the
public's taste, a Survey issued Wednesday by the UN Educational,
Scientific Snd Cultural Organization said.
The survey also pointed Out that
there are 7.15 Americans for every
TV set in the United States, while
in Russia there Is one set for 2400
persons.
"Many countries regard with
considerable apprehension developments in the United States and
elsewhere which extend the broadcast day from early morning till
late at night," UNESCO said. "The
reasons for this apprehension are
economic, sociological and artistic."
8TALE AND EXHAUSTED
The survey also said:
1. The 18->hour dally programming
makes TV writers, performers and
producers get "stale and exhausted" and "the public js swamped
with a flood of programs which
deaden its discriminative taste." In
France and Britain TV stations only
operate about 32 hours a week.
2. In countries allowing sponsored
TV programs there is "an incentive
to increase broadcast hours to the
limit of profitability" and it is
"questionable" whether private'stations could cut down their schedules.
3. The tremendously high cost of
television appears "to be straining
even the comparatively large economic resources of organizations in
the United States."
4. Critics of long services are
alarmed about TV's effects on book-
reading, theatre-going and other
forms of entertainment. Educationists fear that television may lead
children to "spend much of their
time as spectators rather than as
active participants in play and
learning."
5. The emphasis on mass-appeal
might have a? bad long-range effect
on society, and it omits "valuable
broadcasts for minorities."
"If broadcasts only follow the
accepted taste of the majority (as
calculated by TV producers), television will not contribute to society
but rather level off the peaks'of
cultural, tradition and achievement," UNESCO said.

Vernon Nan Among Fliers Rescued
From Crashed Plane in Northwest
WINNIPEG (CP) — Three fliers
were safe in Churchill, Man., Wednesday, after spending three days
in the wilds of the Northwest Territories while the temperature fell
as low as 52 below zero.
They left their Norseman aircraft on an unnamed lake about
1000 miles north of here.
The men, Pilot FO O. J. Fisher
of Duparquet, Que.: Lac G. M.
Dawe of Vernon, B. C, and Lac J.
W. Bradley of Sturgeon Falls, Ont.,
were flown to Churchill late Tuesday. They landed the Norseman on
a frozen lake Saturday when it
started to leak oil while on a 400-
mile mercy flight to pick up a sick
Eskimo at Baker Lake, N.W.T.
The original plan was to fly the
Norseman back to Churchill. However, mechanics must be flown in
before the plane can be brought
out.
ESKIMO FLOWN OUT
The Eskimo was picked up by an
RCAF Dakota Tuesday and flown
to Churchill for treatment.
Search for the plane' started late
Saturday, after it radioed it was
landing on an unknown lake, out
of fuel. Brief radio contact was
made Sunday with the Norseman,
and flares were spotted. The flares,
however, could not be pin-pointed,
and the plane was once again lost.
glares were spotted 120 miles
south of Baker Lake Monday night,
and the Norseman turned on its
landing lights. Radio contact was
soon made, and to ensure no mishaps, Dakotas circled the plane
until the ski-equipped plane arrived.

Princess Patricias Trek
To Yukon for Exercises
(oast Freighter
Sold to Greeks
VANCOUVER (CP) - The SS
Lake Pennask has made her last
voyage under the Canadian flag,
Just 10 years after her gleaming
gray hull slid down the greased
ways of a North Vancouver shipbuilder.
Sale of the Vancouver freighter
to a Greek firm was anounced Wednesday by Western Canada Steamships, the former owners.
A crew of Greek sailors arrived
here Tuesday in a special Canadian
National Railways coach to take
over from the Canadian seamen.
An official of the new company,
Bahia Salinas Navigacion de Panama, declined to reveal the purchase price.
The ship was launched as the
Temagami Park in a North Vancouver yard in February. 1944.
She roamed the world in government service until the war's end
and was transferred to Western
Canada with her new name.
Her sale means that Vancouver
is home port for only two deepsea
freighters. When war ended, there
were more than 35 Canadian flag
vesels here.
Alberta Wheat Pool
Action Could
Paralyze B.C. Ports
REGINA (CP) - J. L. Phelps
president of the Saskatchewan
Farmers' Union, said Wednesday
that British Columbia ports will
be paralyzed if the Alberta Wheat
Pool ever follows through with
proposals for dealing with future
strikes at its West coast grain terminals.
In a statement, Mr. Phelps
quoted Ben Plumer, president of
the Alberta Wheat Pool, as saying
the pool would enlist young farmers to operate West coast terminals
if a second strike occurs. A west
coast strike last February tied up
about 16,000,000 bushels of western
grain. '
Mr. Phelps said'' bringing in
farmers to West coast elevators
would start trouble—"real trouble."
He said he had talked with officials of the longshoreman's union
who said they would refuse to load
grain handled by strike-breaking
farmers. This would mean a complete shipping tie-up at the West
coast.
Follows Shooting
PALOARY (CP—A 17-year-old
Ontario soldier was formally
charged with murder Wednesday in
the service rifle slaying at Currie
Barracks here Tuesday of Pte. Robert Bilow. 21, of Winchester, Ont.
Pte. William Clerpisz of Windsor,
Ont. entered no plea when the
charge was read to him in police
court.
Clerpisz, who showed no emotion
when he appeared unrepresented
by legal counsel, was remanded to
Jan. 14. Court officials were struck
by his youthful appearance.
Police said Bilow died almost instantly after being shot in the chest
and back by two bullets fired at
point-Blank range from a .303-
calibre rifle In a barracks washroom, where the pair were cleaning
their rifles after target practice.
The identity of the shooting victim was withheld 17 hours by police and the army until next of kin
were notified.
Witnesses said no fight or argument preceded the shooting.
TERMED BULLY
These witnesses suggested the
motive for the shooting might have
been considerable and consistent
ribbing to which they said Clerpisz,
of small stature, was subjected by
Bilow. One soldier described the
latter as a "bully".
There were about five other soldiers in the washroom at the time.
They said the first indication they
had that something was wrong/
came when they heard a shot, followed by another blast
Police said the first shot was
apparently fired through Bilow's
back and the second through his
chest, near the heart, while he lay
on his back on the floor.
Both soldliers were members of
'Able" company of 1st Battalion,
Princess Patricia's Canadian Light
Infantry. The main body of the unit
had left earlier in the day for exercises in the Whitehorse area of the
Yukon, and SO men left' behind
went out for target practice on the
Sarcee range, two miles from Currie Barracks.
Immediately after the shooting,
the five witnesses held Clerpisz until provost and city police arrived.
Meanwhile, an army doctor was
called, but Bilow died seconds after
his arrival.

see Charlie Chaplin — and some
of those bosomy French and Italian
beauties.
The Warsaw newspaper, Zycie
Warszawy, wrote:
"In Poland we lately have read
a lot about Charlie Chaplin. Why
is it imposible to procure a masterpiece by this famous artist, like 'the
Gold Rush,' for our movie fans?
'tAnd why can't we get any good
Italian or French movies like 'Bitter Rice,' 'Beauty and the Beast'
or 'Forbidden Games?'"
Reviewing a number of East German, Hungarian, and Romanian
films presently on view in the Polish capital, the newspaper said:
"These tiresome, feeble efforts
raise the desire for better artistic
qulaity and skill."

British Doubt
twins Record
LONDON (CP) — British experts
say they, doubt that the delivery
of a sixth set of twins to a Canadian mother sets any world record
They were commenting on a dispatch from St. Joseph d'Alma,
Que., telling of the birth to Mrs.
Paul Emile Tremblay of the sixth
pair of twins in eight years. Canadian doctors were said to regard
the event as a record'.
In London, pfficialsfof the British
Medical Association Uted the case
of a Cleveland woman in the United
States who bore seven pairs of
twins. They said the woman, married three times, also gave birth'
to five sets of triplets and two sets
of quadruplets.
CITE OTHER EXAMPLES
The London Star joined the discussion, noting that an Italian
woman In 1947 bore her seventh
set of twins. It added that a Sicilian mother a year earlier gave,
birth to her 11th pair.  .-
. Medical authorities said such
cases are termed "excessive multi-
parity" and are due to heredity.
They said a woman from a family
to which the birth of twins has
occurred is likely to bear more
than one set of twins herself.
Competition From
Europe Hits
Clothespin Makers
OTTAWA (CP)—Even clothespin
makers are feeling the pinch of
competition.
Finance Minister Abbott has
asked the tariff board to investigate tariffs on wooden clothespins,
following complaints from the Canadian industry that they are facing heavy competition, particularly
from European producers.
Making wooden clothespins is a
$l,000,000-a-year business in Canada, plants operating at Megantlc
and'Levis, Que.
However, even with a 20-per-cent
tariff against them, Danish and
Swedish exporters find they can
undersell Canadian producers right
In their home territory.
