Budget ast year was $8000. The figure, 214 times the present IbudLet. is one-quarter ot the joriglnal Okanagan. proposal which jirew fire Monday. President L. W. Wood of the Okanagan.still eon- sidered it a "paltry amount" to [undertake the work needed, but agreed to the lower figure as a starting basis. Sponsors of the move denied there was any "militant" aim fgainst B.C. Teachers Federation in their proposal and insisted jobs already assigned to the, executive by the]- convention would use up most of the $20,000. Nanaimo and Other points agreed the stated figure should be larger. »■ In another important move the Convention, asked that names of candidates for trustee or representative in rural school districts be filed and advertised in advance of annual school meetings so that voters may know who is in the field. Under the present system many are nominated and elected at meetings without previous notice of their candidature. SEEK PBNALTY Kootenay Lake School District, Charging that, the "gentlemen's agreement" against approaching normal itudetfts and teacher trainees Is being ignored, asked for a penalty to be imposed against school, boards and Individuals violating the agreement. I Vancouver and Victoria said they do not, as trustees, approach normal students, but in many cases the students, themselves seek positions In these schools. They didn't know iaiy answer to that. '.The request for a penalty carried, however. Opinion split sharply between metropolitan centres and smaller cities and districts on the Victoria proposal to take student driver training out of high schools and (urn it over to the motor vehicle branch. Against Vancouver and Victoria were North Vancouver, Ocean Falls and Penticton. End result was a resolution asking that school boards be relieved of the responsibility for driver training, but hot stating who should sssume It The convention endorsed Van* couver's proposal that a school teacher returning: from leave of absence be required to take physical or mental examination as a condition of re-employment. It also endorsed a request that the government sponsor displays of school work at the PNE on a provincial basis. Based on a Vancouver resolution, trustees asked for increased lay representation on the B.C. curriculum committee. Only layman on the committee at present is Austin I. Curtis of Victoria. Reflecting repeated differences of opinion between the City of Lady- smith,' District of North Cowichan and rural areas involved, Lady- smith District School Board presented three .resolutions seeking legislation changes.' All three were endorsed and will be presented to the Provincial government In one Ladysmith proposed that a minority section should'not be permitted to hold up and defeat estimates; in another that the definition of capital expenses be changed within narrow limits to include such expenditures as options on school sites and playgrounds; and in the third to permit establishment of special funds for new buildings and sites within a one-mill tax rate.

Tunnel Lining Cost Seven Times Amount Estimated VANCOUVER (CP) - Concrete lining ot a two-mile mountain tunnel on Lower Arrow Lake' cost $321,438—seven times -the amount estimated, the chief engineer of the B.C. Power Commission testified Tuesday. . A. W. Lash was replying to tha Whatshan Royal Commission probe counsel, C. W. Tysoe, QC, at the start of the seoond week's hearings. He said 6927 feet ot concrete lining wer* needed instead of the estimated 1165. His estimate, he aald, would hava cost 1116,171. Th* final amount of lining used was decided after an examination of th* tunnel by Vancouver geologist Dr. Victor Dolmage. Tuesday was the beginning of the second week ef hearings before Mr. Justice J, V. Clyne Into two mud slides which crippled the huge hydro development last August. , Tbe second week opened with H. H.

Mr. Griffin said a report on th* slides by an eastern engineering firm would be on hand by Wednesday, ■ : .*; . A letter from the mayor bf Kamloops, B.C., J. E. Pitswater, appealed for further investigation of tho evidence that fissures in the w*U of the power plant tunnel wer* allowing water to escape and that they could threaten the plant again In the future. Mr. Lash said measurement' of the leskage was bdgun in 1951 but was discontinued In June, 1052, 14 months before the two mud slides knocked out th* Whatshan plant. He said he believed at tha time the leakage was a natural occurrence with any tunnel and* he had not worried about twin streams of water cutting down the mountain- aide. ' He ssid the flow was five eublc feet per second and that he would not have become concerned until such a flow had reached 10 or 15 eublc feet per second. Mr. Fitzwator's. letter said tha hearings had brought to light a number ot facts which should ba Investigated, but Mr. Justice Clyne aaid the letter could not bo treated as evidence, However, ho said he was certain evidence would be produced on the points covered.

Campbell, deputy minister of education, told delegates to the B.C. School Trustees' convention th|t the best of the youth going through our schools today "are better than anything the world has ever seen." This, he said, despite the persistent attitude of those who claim the modern day student lacks training in the essentials such as spelling and grammar. He was -speaking to almost 400 delegatei and guests assembled in the Junior High gymnasium for the convention banquet Tuesday night "Justification for our existence as trustees and educator! depends on two beliefs fundamental and basle to the whole process ot formal education," he declared, Men's progress from savagery and /brutality to th* present was almost entirely due to the fact he "ls im- proveable" by environment and education, Faith in this fact wai the justification for education, ho Mid. "Wo muit have faith that poverty, crime, insecurity, disease, and wir exist because of the mil-education of some- people, and there must be tilth that tht right kind ot education can curt these ills." Soma people, he went on, advocate {hit lehoor boards ihould ba done away with tnd tht government should operate the schools, In Mr, Campbell's belief, education would then become static, contact with students would be lost, and It would be "the- greateit possibio mistake—a tragedy." TRUSTEES BULWARK! "Boards of trustees are the bulwarks of education," he stated. They should itop and takei a .gorfd look at education, a general survoy, and decide for themselves what la being attempted In "thli thing—formal education." Mf, Campbell suggester thlt boards avoid "getting lost" In tht business affairs of the schools and do instead a little wild thinking, A-little thinking ot what "they would do" with education, In thli day and age, formil education la "all things to all young people," Ht contrasted the variety of fa- cultlos offered at UBC Compared with the "Science or Arts" offered formerly. Many college professors still refuse to realize that man education haa Invaded the universities, he added. He warned against education for "making a. living." Schools which originally taught the reading, writ ing and arithmetic formula have gradually changed over the years to take care ot the demand for teaching of skills. "You may teach skills," but It was found, "you may have an educated savage." Germany, he pointed out, did not lack in the teaching of taohnlcal and scientific skills, her people were filled with skill! tor making a living, But much of th* present trouble csn be blamed on a lack of skill in "how to live." The skills for living were kindliness, sympathy, social betterment; and the giving of oneself for the service of others, he suggested.- Take a broad view of education, he advised, because teachers "are doing what you would do if you had time (or it," He told ihe delegate! that criticism ihould never be relented, but ihould be considered In an effort to extract the truth. Criticism stemming from t real grievance could-bt'remedied, he said, but it wil unfortunate the uninformed lometimei genenllzed from isolated eilei. Somt financial critics were concerned over getting value trom their money, but he laid ha often wondered if cost-critics wer* thinking people.

A TRIAT POJ» V ■" A. K. McAdams, Kootenay Lalce Hospital Society director,; Mrs. F. W. M. Drew, organizing secretary, ahd R. H. Procter, co-ordinating chairman of the hospital district organizing committee, also spoke and answered questions. Property owners will also be contacted by canvassers. There were always points of controversy in a project of this size, said Mrs. Drew. "You will have your opinions on the question of site, perhaps, or design, or architect, or size," she continued. "There will be opportunities for your trustees to bring up these matters. The Hospital Board will welcome suggestions and consider all constructive Ideas. If the basic principle of the people of the district joining with the people of the city to build our new hospital seems reasonable, then do not hold up the petition because every little detail is not to your individual taste. URGES BIG APPROACH "This is a very big project; let us approach it in a big way, with readiness to modify our individual wishes and opinions so that the undertaking can go forward without unreasonable delay." Mrs. Drew said when she first went to work at the hospital four years ago ahe found it "woefully overcrowded, terrlby Inconvenient, and working conditions, especially for the nurses and the maintenance staff, exceedingly poor. But I was not then coftylnced that something could not be done about it all. I thought perhaps the old building could be patched up, modernized, enlarged, given a face lift and a new lease of life. As I worked there, however, and became more familiar with the conditions, saw the overcrowding getting worse month by month, and year by year; as I noticed the strain on the doctors and nurses, I realized that nothing much could be done with the old hospital. "Then I learned about the reports of architects and contractors, and of the fire marshal's order, the verdict has come from so many quarters: 'Kootenay Lake General Hospital has had its day.' NOT BLANK CHECK Signing of the petition was not signing a blank check. It simply Signified approval of the formation of an improvement district The business of the district would be done through the men and women elected as trustees. But there must be a hospital district before there could be a new district hospital, so if the listeners agreed that spreading the cost of the large district was the fairest way of financing the community share under present laws, then signing the petition was the answer. Mrs, Drew a_so' explained in detail the petition forms.

Wednesday, October 14, 19S3 Priority For West Arm Bridge Essential Reports persist at Victoria and Vancouver that the Agassiz-Rosedale bridge over the Fraser will be the first to receive attention under the hew bridge buildling authority, to be established through a new bill already given first reading in the 'Legislative Assembly. It probably.,is timely for the West Kootenay to renew its bid for priority attention when new bridge building is considered. - Those who worked to circulate a petition for the West Arm bridge on the Southern Transprovincial Highway did a fine service, and Hon, Wesley D, Black, MLA for Nelson-Creston, certainly did a job in presenting the wishes expressed in the petitions before the House. The member's contention that the government should build ai part of its highway program the approaches to major bridges, constructed under the authority, and should pay a direct subsidy toward ejtch undertaking, was more than reasonable. That it has been accepted as •such, at least in part, is evident in the fi'ct that the hew legislation provides for a direct 2% per cent grant toward each project. »■•,.,-,.. ,- . . . . ' i Reasons for assuring priority consideration for projects in this'area are obvious. Financing power of the new authority or commission has.been!set at $20 million. Projects of the size necessary to bridge the water gaps on No- 3 Highway alone will not be many, in number under such a financing limit. The West Arm bridge alone, it is contemplated, would cost $1.5 million. The economic and travel advantages that wiU^ spread through the entire district by better highway facilities hardly need retelling, A bridge' here is an improvement that will enhance travel completely North to, tha Lardeau; it will be an improved connection with the East Kootenay even without consideration of the fact that it will replace anjmpeding cable barge on the Southern Transprovincial Highway. It would end the. great lineups of cars that this weekend and on every busy day for months have piled up on both sides of the Nelson-Ndrth Shor? ferry approaches. of the people to know what's going on about them. And governmental officials have not always been so pure and open faced as they like to make the people believe in their handling of news that concerns the public. It has taken, and will continue to take, constant vigilance on the part of the communications media in this country, to ferret out the facts, to resist attempts at suppression of information, and to hold public officials accountable for their public acts, .We have seen in many countries abroad what happens when dictatorships arise and benevolent rulers want to decide what is best for the people to Vnow about their own business. Among their first steps ih their rise to power is their zeal to control the channels of communication, to withhold information that could be considered unfavorable to their aims, and to propagandize the public. One great influence being exerted today in behalf of the people's right to' know is the daily newspaper. As long as it continues to merit the confidence of its readers, it will remain free. And as long as it remains free, the people will have access to the information and opinions they need in order to maintain their own individual and collective freedom, __i Looking Backward 10 YEARS AQO Front the Nelson Dally News, October 14,1948 City Engineer H. p.

Three' night sittings in a row, which lasted in one case until one In -the morning. I do not know what the big rush is, but I guess they are in a hurry to get rid of us. It is a week since the. Labor Minister, Lyle Wicks, made his contribution to the debate. His talk sounded very similar to that of other labor ministers I have heard since my first session, inasmuch as all the changes that are to be made in the Acts concerning labor will be made- at the next session. -Since 1949 trade unions have consistently petition the government with briefs requesting changes in the Acts, and an inquiry committee toured all over the province in. 1951 to meet with labor and management, nevertheless, he says we are still go- lng to have more conferences to find out what labor and management want in the way of .changes. Any ohangSs to the Compensation Act has gone the same road. He says that they are going to study It with a view to bringing In changes at the next aesalon. They Intend to ask labor and management to submit brlefa on the changes neceaiary. Rather strange when we Just got through apepdlng $200,000 for a Royal Commission headed by Chief Justice Sloan. The pity of It all la that many are living on very small compensation pensions, which should have been Ihcreated years ago, while government, keep putting off until tomorrow what should be done today. They have appointed a "counsellor" under the Compensation Act. Anyone who feels he la not getting a square deal with the Board can take hla oase up with the counsellor. I will be surprised If thla helps any, because he haa no power to. direct the Board, only to request. FINISHED IN FOUR YEARS The Minister of Public- Works spoke, and stated that he hoped the Southern Trans-Provincial Highway would be finished in the next four years. Sounds like a statement we hove heard before, but it is. bound to be finished sometime, so let's hope this statement is correct. The debate on the speech from tha thrdne waa oloaed on Thura- day evening. Ran Harding, MLA for Kaslo-Slocan spoke last for the CCF.

He did not give any satlafactory reason to me why there has been auch a delay In this matter, •rtie changes In the Elections Acf was tobled yesterday. It is a complete new act, and after briefly glancing through .it, I think it is quite an improvement over the old one. The-alternative vote ls to pass on into history as far as B.C. goes, which I am sure no one will weep over. I am disappointed that they did not adopt the federal method of enumeration but that may come too. l EMPHASIS ON BIG TOWNS We have just started on the discussion of the Liquor Bill, which ■undoubtedly will be\ a long one. If the Bill stands sb it is now I am sure that very little change will be noticed except in Vancouver. The whole Act seems to be concerned with making changes In the large centres, with little thought of the small towns and villages.

Boards of School Trustees are one of our .cherished democratic institutions, and the resolutions, on the agenda for their convention show only too well that they are a declining influence in the educa- tional world. It Is, of course, only'too easy to lay the blame on the Department of Education or the Teachers'.Federation, but wha>; have the Trustees done, or failed to do, which has contributed, to this-decline? . First of all, they have failed to keep abreast of the development of. modern educational methods.. Few If any have availed themselves of their right to visit schools. True, a resolution asks that others besides teachers be on the currieuium committee, and / th is ls a democratic right; but hove any .trustees'been at pains to study the existing curriculum? ' LOS8 OR BARTER Bureaucracy ls most undesirable, arid one or more resolutions testlfv .to the belief that the Department of Education has token powers away from the Trustees. Did they take them, or did the Trustees barter them for grants? It ls a law of commerce that the holder of BI per cent of the stock controls the com- nany. Do trustees believe that if the Government provides 60 per cent of the money that lt will not exercise i*s controlling power? The Department la concerned with only one thing, creating a succeaaful educstlon system, and although' It la neither particularly democratic nor progreaalve, no one oan possibly contend that It haa failed In thia respect, This, In our expandlnq achool svatem, la eomethlng to be proud of. One resolution expresses fear of the growing power of the B, C. Teachers', Federation. But Trustees themselves contributed largely to the browth of the BCTF. Up to the beginning of the last war the Federation was neither particularly strong, nor Influential. During fhe depression teachers took substantial cuts in salary; but during the war years, when prices were rising, Trustees refused either to give a cost of living bonus or raise salaries. Out of this Injustice rose a Federation determined never again to allow teachers to be treated with contumely. As for the prlnclnals, Trustees claim, and .with justice, that they are particularly responsible to the Boards. But the Boards drove them into the Federation because they nave them no assurance that the Boards would treat them with either Justice or generosity. But It Is good to see from the resolutions that Trustees want the positions of principal and vlce-prin cipal defined. These are the persons from whom Boards derive information regarding schools, ond it is most desirable' that mutual confidence exist. And the desire to have principals report to the Boards has many merits, among others, that the teacher, if not satisfied, can appeal to the Inspector. At present teachers have no appeal. There are three groups engaged in our education system: 'the De- nartment, the teachers and the Trustees. Education ls a matter of co-operation, not a battle between these three, The Department and the teachers will undoubtedly survive, sbut. whether the Boards do depends upon their ability to adjust themselves to our changing conditions. Otherwise, goodbye to the Trustees. But no one really Wants that to happen. We need an elected body close to the people and interested in education. That body must, however, have the influence and prestige Which comes from a broad knowledge of education, possess wisdom and understanding, ond e desire to co-operate with both the Department of Education and the teachers, to the lasting benefit 'of the children in our schools.

From ari Oldtimer's Notebook By R. G.JOY Historian, Nelaon and District Oldtlmera Association J. Leeming has passed away and I thought a few lines about him would not be amiss. He' was one of those men who' delved Into the Lardeau Country when prospecting was one of the main features in finding tha natural resources that make for the prosperous condition of the Kootenays and mode of living of at the present day. I knew J. Leeming when he and his wife were bringing up their family of young citizens. Leeming wes one of our prospectors. He was also fond of hunting. He was about after the Gold Hill and Poplar Creek excitement had.passed and the finding of gold at Poplar, Creek saw two railway companies vlelng with one another to get there first so as to control most of the tonnage offering, The Hawthorn brothers had built a store building and staked ground that had a strata of diatomaceous earth which when ground up forms the scouring parts of cleaners for kitchen sinks, baths, etc. The old-timer was the cause of bringing Mr. Eardly Wllmot, a nephew of Sir Eardly Wilmot who resided at one time at Crawford Bay, to the area. The nephew was in the Ceramic Department of Natural Resources et Ottawa. He looked over the area and confirmed the reports of amateur geologists, prospectors, etc, that it was DE and could1 be used for cleaners of different kinds. By the way if he Is still alive he ls perhaps one- of the bigwigs at- Ottawa'Department of Mines. In the Immediate vicinity waa a prospector called "Greasy Mobbs" who was driving a tunnel looking for a body of lead-zinc ore which he thought would bring him a fortune. Mr. Leeming was hunting in the vicinity of Mobbs' property and he slipped and accidently uncovered, two inches of lead ore several feet long. He covered it over with brush, earth, etc., thinking of going over the ground and locating it as a" mineral claim. Many a two-inch stringer of Galena is lead to a large body of pay ore. One Instance was at the great Slocan Star Mine where a Cornish miner used to take out the ore by the single jack-ham mer. He told-Phil Rahal that the superintendent should follow this to the high-grade streak. In time they did'so and one of the largest and richest bodies ot ore was found in the Slocan Star. Leeming and I often thought of going to, the Lardeau and rediscovering the two- Inch streak. He Went alone, tried to find it, but failed.- COSSACK ADVENTURE , John Reuckert who died suddenly on Oct. 3 was known by a larga circle of friends.

Packing is to be done to fit a schedule of varied activities, climates and means of travel. Presents hav_ to be bought for the family that will be celebrating Christmas without her. When she boards the plane for the flight to Bermuda Nov. 23, starting an Australian tour lasting six months, she will have chosen the jewelry and clothing inside the lightweight luggage purchased for her 1951 Canadian trip. There must be enough to last until she boards the chartered liner Gothic at Jamaica, Nov. 27. It must be suited to the occasions before her and befitting for a Queen, SUMMER DRESSES Most of her clothes are ready— with the exception of a few final fittings and the inevitable hard-to- make decisions even- queens leave for the last moment. Conscious of the variety of weather she will meet on fills' around-theiworld journey, she has sought advice on clothing colors and materials from diplomatic sources of the countries concerned. One thing is certain/The weather will range from warm to downright hot until she gets back home next May\ She is expected to wear many silk and nylon materials of gossamer weight and she's picked at least a dozen off-the-peg cottons ranging in price from £4 to £8. As she did on her Canadian tour, the Queen will probably include' a lot of ballet-length evening dresses, easier to wear and less bulky than the embroidered crinolines she has made famous. Already packed are crinoline, hat and shoe boxes and the heavy, crested black and brown leather suitcases that have been in the Windsor family for more than a generation. Appended are lists detailing contents and position inside. ADVANCE TIPS GUARDED One subsidiary problem has been that, as usual, the Queen has less freedom to change-a chosen -outfit than most of her subjects. That, is because the clothes' and color she will -wear at a certain function closely-concern women well ahead of time. The custom prevents wives of officials and diplomats from the embarrassment' of choosing something clashing or closely Identical. The knowledge goes, however, to only a chosen few. Other than that her garments are secret until she appears in them, when details are readily given out by the designer concerned. MAKE-UP PROBLEM The problenj of hot-weather makeup has been considered care-, fully to provide the Queen with the different Shades. and types required for her "English rose" complexion in any climate. Adviser is Australian-born Thelma Holland, Who has looked after the Queen's beauty problems since 'teen-age and who was responsible for the Queen's natural beauty on Coronation Day. ~~ , Then there are presents, an important last-minute task.

Kifly Hawk Soared an Incredible 10 Feel, Stayed Up 12 Seconds By VERN HAUQLAND KITTY HAWK, N.C, (AP) - A sharp wind whistled across the bleak sand dunes, past the two sagging, unpainted sheds on the flat, and on up the barren slopes ot Kill Devil hill. , - ■-, Six men and a youth were gathered around an odd-looking contraption on the ground. One crawled onto the object—a sort of overgrown kite on sled runners—and stretched out full length. An engine throttled up, two large fan blades whirred and the machine lurched unsteadily along a wooden rail, a single track across the sand. FIRST PLIGHT The miracle of the birth of aviation was about to happen. Orvllle and Wilbur Wright,'brothers from Dayton, Ohio, wera about to achieve, here on the lonely North Carolina seacoast, man's first flights under engine power. Orvllle was aboard, on this historic morning, Dec. 17, 1903. As the propeller blast pushed the craft into the wind, Wllburn ran alongside, steadying a wing. The machine'gained speed. Forty feet along the 60-foot rail Ihe clumsy craft lifted magically. It was off the ground, fighting its way into the gale. The plana—man's first airplane- rose to a. height of about night feet, dipped uncertainly, soared incredibly to about 10 feet, then settled to the ground. Orvllle climbed out, and the brothers measured the dis- tancer-120 feet. LA8TED 12 8ECONDS - Said Orvllle, later: "This flight lasted only 12 seconds, but It was nevertheless the first in the history of the world in which a machine carrying a m_n : Here is another opportunity for you to adopt this tried and tested system of saving money.

Irwin, Manager had raised itself by its own power into the air in full flight, had sailed forward without reduction of speed and Had finally landed at Hall To Plead Guilty; Expects Death Sentence point as high as that from which lt started." The 200-foot flights followed immediately. On the fourth try Wilbur coaxed the plane through the air for 90 seconds, 892 feet from the take-off point, Then a gust of wind caught the wings, bowled the machine ever. There was a sharp sound of splintering wood and metal. The "Kitty Hawk Flyer" would make no more tries this winter. But Its plsce in history already was secure, NEWSPAPER ITEM The Wrights acknowledged that their own Interest in flying started from a newspaper account In 1890 of the death of Germany's Otto Llllenthal in a - gliding accident. They learned to their amazement that Lilionthal, having discovered the superior lifting qualities of cuVved surfaces, had made some 2000 flights—the best for 1200 feet —in gliders of his own design. They also were influenced by the writings of Britain's Sir George Cayley. who, before his - death In 1807, suggested ' that -a machine might fly with the aid of a propeller driven by an engine. - The Wright brothers in September, 1900, took their first glider to Kitty Hayrk. Their progress was barely enough to encourage them to continue. Their actual gliding time was only about two minutes. Next July they were back with a glider almost twice the size of any before flown. They made several hundred fllghts^-one as. far as 389 feet—but found the new machine much more difficult to control than tha earlier model. ' READY POR MOTOR In Dayton, they improvised a wind tunnel—the first to yield accurate results. By August, 1902, they were back at Kitty Hawk with a new glider more than twice as efficient—thanks to the wind tunnel studies. They were ready for the next problem—application ot a motor, Their first propellers, designed entirely from their calculations, proved one-third more efficient than any previously built. With the aid of mechanic Charles E. Taylor, they hand-tooletj a 480-pound, tour-cylinder engine producing 12 horsepower. Their first, try at powered flight, Dec. 14,1903, was unsuccessful, possibly because of Insufficient wind. Their initial success came three days later. REPORTS DISBELIEVED Meagre reports of the flights were widely disbelieved, for some time. Nevertheless, in ' 1904 the brothers built a new plane and flew in that' year—in semi-secrecy, near Dayton—109 times, for distances up to three miles and flights as long as five minutes. In 1908 Wilbur, abroad, was amazing all Europe with sensational flights in France. Orvllle, at home, was demonstrating to'the army Its first plane, a craft which would carry a passenger and stay aloft for more than a nhour. Wilbur died of typhoid fever In 1912. Orvllle lived on until 1948— to see flight become common place and the airplane a major transportation link, and a military .weapon in two world wars. By FRANK CRAWFORD ItWSAS::Cixy..(4JP),i'Th'e tMr Hoppers who idiot and tolled a six- year-old bojr. and 'their collected $000,000 ransom from his parents Were brought back here Tuesday tn face the death pehSlty.- .7;.7,y ': 7 Carl Austin Hall, 34,: said he wanted to plead guilty find expected the death sentence, |t was lie'who •shot little Bobby Greenlease, son of Kansas - City's millionaire automobile dealer. Robert C. Greenlease, 71s Then he set out brt the plan to collect the ransom. But Mr». Bonnie .Heady, who helped prepare; the child's lime- filled grave even before she stole him away from his private. school, was stoical, She once had hoped she might get off with a lighter sentence—it she were caught. 7 MISSING M00,00O,w -..,>. Whether.that meant she knew where the missing ,5300,001. of the ransom money is, - officers could not or would not say. Half of the money was found In Hall's possession when his spending spree in St Louis brought about his arrest Oct. 6, eight days after the kidnapping." '■• , But Hall says he things she had the money and probably lost it during a heavy drinking bout In St.'Louja.... - v 7 Before they were brought back here Tuesday, Mrs, Heady toldya cell-mate in St. Louis .details of the killing. Her only regret,, she said, was that she hadn't been able to get her hands on the ransom. She added that she had'hoped she might get- a light sentence, maybe 25 years, thst could have got her out of prison on good behavior In seven years. ' •BEAT HIM' . She told, too, how the little boy had put up a fight when he realized he Was to be killed, "Carl had ot beat him with his fists,,knocking out two ot his front teeth. Then he shot him." But there seemed no chance Mrs. Heady would get off lightly. There are federal kidnapping charges, Missouri State kidnapping charges and murder charges in Kansas either filed or soon to be filed against both Mrs. Heady and Hall. A federal grand Jury was summoned here to speed along an indictment and trial. Mra. Heady, in whose flower garden at St. Joseph, Mo., the boy's body wss burled, said she put the finishing touches on the kidnap plan. Hall said he had spent at least two years hatching his scheme, THREE 8HOTS Why the kidnappers killed the little boy never has been revealed. The text of their confessions 'has not been released. Presumably, since only the two were Involved, they felt they couldn't or didn't want to guard him during negotiations with the family. Little Bobby never had a chance from the time Mrs. Hesdy posed IT as his aunt and whisked him away from the Notre Dam* de Sion School'to a waiting ttm. . Hill shot him three times, missing twice before the fatal idiot,.It was one of those bullets, imbedded in the floor mat of Mrs. Heody'a station wagon that finally brought a confession from them. KIDNAP CLAIMB Then they set about collecting the ransom. It took six days of writing and phoning representatives of the family before the (000,000 wai tossed over a bridge to be picked up by Hall. Robert Ledterman of Tulsa, Okie,, a business associate ot'Greenlease, said the 89-pound money bundle hod been thrown out once before but the kidnappers couldn't find It and he hid to go back and get lt himself. , And at least IS different persons tried to muscle in on the money, Ledterman said. They represented themselves as the kidnappers and demanded ransom of $5000 to $390,000. The demands totalled $1,- 500,000. ' The legel procedure to try Hall under tha Lindbergh law, and possibly put him in the gaa chamber was already in progress. Calling a grand Jury lessened any chance of a legal allp-up. The same was planned for Mrs. Heady as It became evident she had more than a helper's part in carrying out the plot. William Rosenthal, Mrs. Heady'a lawyer, has not indicated what defence he plans. Hall still has no lawyer.

Debate was adjourned. Renewal of the IWA was agreed upon between major wheat importing and exporting countries last August. It sets a minimum price of $1.85 a bushel and a maximum of $2.09. Britain refused to sign the new agreement, claiming the maximum price waa too high. She since has been buying wheat In the world market.

F. F. Worthing- ton said Tuesday, The wartime tank expert, now national civil defence co-ordinator, said Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Jalad could have had the money on a "matching grant" basis. He explained that the federal government la willing to put up one civil defence dollar for. every dollar put up by'the provinces. Gen. Worthington said In an interview that Ontario and Quebec whose annual "allotment" of federal civil defence funds is $492,008 and $483,- 081 respectively, think that tha federal government should shoulder the entire expense of civil defence across tha country. YEARLY BA3I8 "They have refused to touch a penny of tbe money offered them," he said. "The grants are available on a year-to-year basis but. do not accumulate. This means that they could still draw from their 1953 allotments." . New Brunswick and Nova Scotia have not aiked. for any, federal funds yet, the general said, j because they believe they should be allowed to raise their "matching" funds in any way they see fit. The federal government reserves the right to approve or reitct the ratio of provincial and. municipal contributions, Normally, this split ls fairly even, Ht cited a.typical case: i "The province decides on a $30,- 000 civil defence projects. We .will pay $15,000 and the remainder is usually shared by the province and the municipality concerned." New Brunswick and Nova Scotia want to handlt their own financial arrangements without any federal "intereference," he said. The case of Prince Edward Island is different, the genersl said. Although, the province has on paper a $7874 yearly, quota in federal funds, it has decided the amount is so small that lt can ba raised looally without federal assistance. 80 PER CENT Of the other five provinces, British Columbia and Alberta have utll. ized their full quota ot federal funds. Saskatchewan and Manitoba have requested and received about 80 per cent and Newfoundland about 40 per cent, tht general aald. Tho annual quotas for tht- 10 provinces, totalling $1,445,699, '*re: Newfoundland'832,078, Prince"Ed- word Island $7874, Nova Sc'dtia $65,606, New, Brunswick ■ $45,050, Quebec $438,001, Ontario $493,00.. Manitoba $83,367, Saskatchewan $86,038, Alberta $88,848, and British Columbia $132,616. -j Gen.. Worthington, commenting en the Ontario and Quebec contention that all civil defence expenditure's should be shouldered by tht federal government said: RESPONSIBILITY , C "Wt tee! the"- ll * diitinet.irt- sponsiblllty at each level of government and with every conumiT nity. This responsibility must,en- tail a financial outlay as well" Civil defence officials had agreed that Second World War experience in the United Kingdom showedtthat public co-operation ls greatest when local communities are given a high degree of responsibility for :their own defence. 7 H.B.

The tools are the radioactive isotopes. I An Isotope is a form of a chemi- ial element differing slightly in its jnolecular weight from the usual make-up. Radioactive simply means 1 that the isotope has been bombarded with atomic particles until it ean emit radioactive rays. Several elements are being hammered into radioactive isotopes in atomic reactors and under atom- smashing machines like the cyclotron and betatron. Principal ones to date: Iodine, phosphorus, gold. .

Trail, B. C. 458 Buckna St. Capital Memo Social Credit, said' Mr, Tomlinson, is "it", with a, capital "I" and "so here yte are," a government." Thus spoke North Vancouver's Mr. Tom'-' linson, and he looked completely amazed that, all of a sudden, he should be part of a government. Oppositionists were struck dumb at the Tomlinson explanation ot So- cial Credit,-and so, dumb were'they slruck,v,that not'one word did they utter. So surprised were they that they were unable to oven snicker among themselves. ! Sir. Torhllnson- stayed with the hustings' talk he had earlier deplored, and announced that it there's any loss of B.C. markets, why, blame the Coalition Government Well now,- Mr. Tomlinson, is it as easy as that? development of the thyroid gland, which hugs the Adam's-apple,' while the baby is growing in its pother's body. Untreated, it leads' to permanent brain injury and lifelong mental incompetence—but it can be cured. Mongolism is due to poor functioning of many glands. There is no known treatment. Victims usually die In childhood. Marilyn's family doctor suspected cretinism and referred her parents to Dr. Homer L. Hiebert In Topeka, Kan. Dr. Hiebert gave Marilyn some water containing a tiny quantity of radioactive iodine. Mysteriously when Iodine is introduced into the body it makes a rush for the thy. roid gland.. The amount of iodine the gland will absorb Indicates how big it is. GEIGER COUNTER But how to tell how much Iodine is absorbed?. That's where atomic science comes in. Dr. Hiebert held'a geiger counter over Marilyn's thi-oat. In a few seconds it clicked out the story: She had less than 10 per cent of a thyroid. The diagnosis—cretinism. The rest was easy. Marilyn was dosed with hormone extracted from animal thyroids' to' make up for what her own glad failed to produce. Marilyn was two and a half months old when she was taken to Dr. Hiebert. Now, at 15 months, she's a lively, happy and chubby little girl with every prospect of living out a normal and useful life. Most astonishing and most heartening to parents of babies like Marilyn ,is the way she made up for lost time after starting almost from GcVatch at two and a half months. Dr. Hiebert- case report said: "The child sat up at eight and a half months, developed her first teeth at 1-1 months. She stood at ten and a half months,, holding, and began to say words at IS months, and stood alone at 12 months." Just about what a baby normal from birth would be doing. TRAINING NEEDED Radioactive therapy, however, requires considerable training. Physicians must learn diagnosis and management of patients. Hospitals must be equipped with isotope laboratories. There is a critical shortage of the physicist technicians who measure doses and install laboratories. Despite these handicaps, the use of isotopes is just about doubling each */esr. Eventually mony general practitioners may be able to use "tracer" doses in diagnosis in their own offices.. Besides spotting thyroid disturbances, isotopes are being used to traok down brain tumors and certain types of heart disease; to alleviate some kinds of cancer and to treat a variety of other human ailments. Dr. John B. Stansbury of the Harvard University school of medicine calls them "the most important medical discovery since the microscope." Radioactive phosphorus is used to treat a condition known, as polycythemia vera, an excess of red blood corpuscles, and leukemia or blood cancer. Cancer of the male prostate gland and swellings in the abdomen and chest cavity are being treated with radioactive gold. Radioactive Iodine is being used in large doses to slow down overly active thyroids—sometimes making surgery necessary. # ' Treatment with these isotopes must be carried on cautiously, however. The fays destroy cells, which limits their use in cancer treat ment.. -.-■'" ■' ——TBY JAMES K. NESBITT- VICTORIA—Despite aU the talk—and the writing-rthat this has been a dull legislative session—when we analyze some of the sayings of MLAs it becomes indeed an extremely interesting session. There has been, as a matter of fact, some very good legislative debate, and some moments of intense drama. It's just that it hasn't been as.rougtoand-tUmble as heretofore. '.-■-'.'■ , Take, the speech of Social: Creditor, the Rev. Mr. Parker of Peace River, tor instance. It had lots of drama in it. The Rev. Mr. Parker's a big,' boyish type of man, always smiling and genial, generous-hearted. . 'He told us about the Peace River district, that wonderful district of grain fields, oil wells, coal fields. It's a great place, is the Peace, said Mr. Parker, but, do you know, Mr. Speaker, there aren't any roads in the Peace River district. Everybody looked astonished at this. No roads? No, Mr. Speaker, no roads, only mule trails. That's what Mr. Parker said—and he should know. Then, suddenly, Mr. Parker remembered—oh, yes, Mr. Speaker, there's a bit of,pavement in the Peace River district, after all: 6.5 miles of pavement and it runs from Dawson Creek to—now, where do you suppose, Mr. Speaker? Why, to the liquor store in Pouce Coupe. Mr. Parker said he'd sure like some pavement to his church, but, oh, no, only pavement to the liquor storel Mr. Parker painted, a picture of such grim road conditions in the Peace River country that MLA's could see the people up there, unless they trek back and forth between the liquor store, swallowing dust in summer, Up to their necks in gumbo in winter, And then, having rid himself of the troubles of folk in the Peace River, Mr. Parker, went for a bit of a swim in the pool of politics. He thrashed about, and insisted on kicking up a great splash all over the Liberals. He didn't bother with the CCF. He said, said Mr. Parker, you know, Mr. Speaker, the Liberals have only four members left in the Hduse? And do you know why, Mr. Speaker? Mr. Parker an. swered his own question. Because, Mr. Speaker, they've finally reaped what they've sown—and Mr. Parker said, believe him—It's a crop failure. WRITES MEMOIRS PARIS (AP)—The Aga Khan announced Monday he has completed the first'volume of his memoirs. The work which he began last November will total about 120,000 words. The author, wealthy Moslem leader, said he has suggested to his, publishers that lt be called "from the reigh of Victoria to the reign of Elizabeth." • Columbus was the first white man to sight the delta of the Orinoco River on his third voyage in 1498. Dally News. North Vancouver's S.C. Mr.'Tom- linson said that to him it appears that legislative speeches are noth lng but remnants of election speeches. Mr. Tomlinson didn't think he liked this fact—and, of course, it is a fact. He ssid personal prejudices among politicians should be left at home, on the hustings, not dragged into the legislative chamber, that marble-pillared, blue carpeted repository of the province's highest law-makers. However, despite such high- sounding sentiments, Mr. Tomlinson hauled into the House some of the hustings' talk. He said oppositionists are always asking what's Social Credit, and that oppositionists say Social Crediter's don't even know themselves". "And do you?" barked Burnaby's CCF Mr. Winch. Mr. Tomlinson, figuratively, if not literally turning his political nose up at Burnaby's Mr. Winch, said he would explain Social Credit. It's quite simple, said J_r. Tomlinson. CCF Mr. Harding ofKaslo-Slo can, the ablest legislative debater in the House, had,- apparently, taken note of Mr. Tomlinson's explanation of Social Credit, about it-being "it" with a capital "I" and all that sort of thing. Mr. Harding evidently didn't think much of Mr. Tomlin. son's explanation, though he didn't mention Mr. Tomlinson. Mr. Harding, all .frustrated-Uke, said he wishes to goodness that somebody or other, anybody, could please tell him what Social Credit means. Oh.oh, oh, how-he'd love>to know, he being a curious type; That's what he said. Here he goes around, he said, asking Social Crediters-what's Social Credit, and all he gets from Social Crediters, ih an answer are a few flowery phrases which don't make any sense to him, no sense whatsoever. That's what Mr. Harding said, Mr. Speaker! Mr. Harding finally sat down, saying that he supposed he'd neve- know what Social Credit ls, and means—so, what's the use of worrying, Mr. Speaker? Returned To Jail JAMESTOWN, N.D. (CP)—Donald Blackwell. Argyle, 81, a Canadian soldier from Nelson," B.C., charged with kidnapping a 38-year- old expectant mother, has been declared sane after three weeks of mental examination at a North Dakota state hospital'. The charge was laid against Argyle, who was stationed at Regina since early spring, after he allegedly hitched a ride with Mrs. Albert Geigle of Strasburg, N.I). A physician who later attended Mrs. Geigel said she had cuts on the hands and had been assaulted. T. E. George of Jamestown, attorney for Argyle, who released the examination result, said hospital authorities indicated Argyle was a "borderllne'Vcase. Argyle, who has been returned to jail at Linton, N.D., will appear In court Oct. 28.

Despite the highest registration of qualified voters in Canada's history, the popular vote was under the reeded 5348.971 of the 1949. election, ,f .The survey, compiled -from reports of-.returning officers showed the. Progressive Conservatives, Social Credit and Communists improving on their' 1948 showings,, with the, Liberals and the CCF party getting smaller popular votes. 'Candidates running under miscellaneous affiliations sdao .dipped. The preliminary c'ouht is based on the number of unspoiled ballots counted for each candidate. It does not Indicate precisely the number who voted, since electors In two'double-member ridings epch had two votes. Spoiled ballots, not yet added up, might bring up the turnout by another 85,000, sbqut 1 per cent of the total. The record registration this year, Mr. Castonguay said, was 8,384,178. Excluding electors,in the two ridings where there was no voting and estimating the number who voted in the double ridings, he calculated about 88. per cent of those able to exercise their franchise did so. The 1953 registration compared with the previous high of 7,893,629 in 1949. The percentage voting in that year was 74.' The high is 16 per cent, in 1917, 1930 and 1945., In the 1953 popular count, the chief electoral officer's figures show the Liberals with 2,819,038 against 2,929,391 four years ago. - The Progressive Conservatives obtained 1,751,673, up from 1,742,276 in 1949. The CCF, though the party Increased ita Commons representation substantially, slipped to 636,191 from 7B2.410. Social Credit made the biggest gain in votes, from 139,815 to 305,- 080, chiefly on the strength of votes In British Columbia. In the case of Liberals, Progressive Conservatives and Social Credit, the count includes independents of those groups.

Hall St, Not Enough Characters Says Professor 'TORONTO (dfy-r Dr., Sidney Smith, president ot fhe University of Toronto,, said Wednesday there are not enough "charicters" in Canada. He urged incoming students in an address at the fall opening of the university to develop "a crit leal spirit that can stand up against all the dreary platitudes and pallid insanities that assail us." He said he was not praising eccentricity for its own sake— "although Canada could easily support some more 'characters.'" "Every day we are adjured through,pictures, print and propaganda to pursue the same goals, admire the same people, enjoy the same pastimes, wear the same clothes and think the same thoughts. There are hundreds of clubs and societies—political, social, professional. Industrial and even cultural—wnich. tend to submerge the individual in the tide of conventional mediocrity. "The most valuable member of society is the man or woman who has Uie capacity for dissent, who sets up a resistance to mass move ments and mass ideas." TOROtfcTQ (CP) — A United States prison official Tuesday told a c ..ference of American prison wardens that enforced idleness is a major cause of prison riots. Coincident-ally, a Canadian warden told the same group Monday that the policy of paying prisoners tor prison work bad helped, keep Canada's eight federal: penitentiaries riot-free since 1932. . Richard A. McGee, a member of the American Prison Association's committee that investigated the recent wave of U. S. prison riots, said Tuesday that unless a prison had an. agricultural or industrial -program, about 40 per cent of the prisoners have no constructive work; to do. . ' He said the opposition of pressure groups attempting to eliminate any kind ot competition has resulted in restrictive legislation, both state and federal, which forces U. S. prisons to keep men in Idleness while they deteriorate physically, mentally and morally. R. M. Allen, warden of Portsmouth penitentiary In Kingston, Ont., told the American. Prison Society's 83rd congress of correction that Canada had been free of riots' in federal prisons for 21 years be cause prisoners were paid for work Ing and were fed in their cells Instead of large dining halls. He said some rigid controls were relaxed several years ago in Cana- dian prisons and the privileges still are a novelty. Prisoners in Canadian penitent! arles carried their meals on trays trom the kitchen to their cells. The U.S. warden, questioned Mir. Allan about the policy of i'every prisoner on the payroll" and the extent of political interference In jail administration: FEW REPEATERS "There is no political interference at all. in the administration of penitentiaries, and except tor one warden ahd one superintendent all our wardens and superintendent- have been In the service for more than 30 years," he told them, Up'to seven or eight yeara ago, C a n a d a's penitentiaries were "pretty well punatlve." Since the institution of recreation, regular pay for prison work and a general relaxing of restriction, the percentage of repeaters bad dropped from 43 to 39. Mr. Allan told the congress that prisoners receive 10, 15 or 20 cents a day, depending on the grade they are assigned on the basis of their attitudes and co-operation with tbe jail staff and other prisoners. Three cents of each day's pay must be set aside in comulsory savings, The balance may be spent for candy, tobacco and other extras from the prison canteen, including bread and sandwich spreads to give the prisoner a night snack in his cell. The money a prisoner is allowed to spend in the canteen must be earned from prison work. "The Coat of Mail m Legislature May Recess for Rolston Funeral VICTORIA (CP)—The legislature may recess on the day of the funeral of Education Minister Tilly Rolston who died Monday night, it was reported here Tuesday. Meanwhile, Premier W. A. C. Bennett expressed regret over the death of the minister in a statement: "Mrs. Rolston is a great loss to the government. She was the first women cabinet minister with port- folion ot only In B.C., but in all Canada. "She was an outstanding native daughter of our province. "Her life has been one of service. After she had raised her own family, she gave unsparingly of her time arid energy to advancing in public all that was best for protection of home and family life, "Mrs, Rolston has been very ill for over a year and the way she has carried pn has been a great encouragement to all." The premier gave no indication who would replace Mrs..Rolston. All opposition leaders expressed sympathy. CCF leader Arnold Webster said: "British Columbia will long remember the ready smile and friendly greeting of Mrs. Rolston. She was a vital part of the community." "Her enthusiasm for life and her spirited advocacy of causes in which she believed affected all with whom she worked." He said the fact she occupied the position of minister of education was a "well-earned tribute to one who hsd spent'so many years in so tive public service." Liberal leader Arthur Laing said Mrs. Rolston had made a great contribution to her oity'ahd her province. "In politics she was a great trouper." , "For two years she carried a load wihch would hove made lesser persons quit cold." « Dr. Larry Giovando, lone Progressive Conservative in the house said she was a "womait, of Jier convictions." . "She made a great contribution to the woman's realm in B. C. through the various organizations which she headed."

Do all this and there still wouldn't be time for him to take in everything at the Kitimat' aluminum project on British Columbia's industrial frontier. ITie scenery alone could keep a man busy for weeks, just looking, Kitlmat ls the name of the tidewater township where the Aluminum Company of Canada's smelter- will begin turning out its first, aluminum ingots shortly before the Duke of Edinburgh arrives in Canada July 29. But Kitimat means many other things, too. There is a hollowed-out mountain at Kemano, encasing the huge turbines which will power the $450,- 000,000 project. The hole carved in its heart is big enough, probably, to hold .much of Buckingham Palace. '..-.-.' ' '■,'"■ There is the 40-mile transmission line over the mountains-from Kemano to Kitlmat, built by men who pitched camp in deep snow, in the Summer months, tb get it over the mile-high summit of Kildala pass.

So the water from these lakes, which nature made flow-to provide the reservoir of power that" is the No. 1 requirement in the production of aluminum. And there ore the men, thousands of them, who are doing the work which is changing Kitlmat from blueprint to reality, and there's the country they are challenging. If he goes by air, Prince Philip will get a 400-mile flight north from Vancouver over, the fiords and forests of the snaking British Columbia cpastlnie . There are mountain peaks aplenty at Kitlmat, where black bears amble down to the construction camp cookhouses for a morning snack, But there's also the Kitimat valley, big enough and flat enough to hold a modern city of 50,000 popuiation once the trees are cleared and maximum production reached. At Kemano the mountains rear straight out of the sea. And from them waterfalls plunge hundreds of feet into the Pacific from cloud- covered glaciers never touched by man. Kitimat has received its Incorporation and today has a reeve and council like mtich older and less spectacular communities. But judging by the men turning Kitimat into an aluminum kingdom, he needn't worry about running into any stuffy receptions. Ahd if he has a bit of time to spare at either Kitimat or. Kemano he can try his luck at fishing. Maybe he'll ctrtch one of those 49-pound salmon the workers have been hooking these lost few years, a few hundred yards from their bunkhouses. __- from the News Front By J. M. ROBERT8, Jr. Associated Press News Analyst The best that anyone may be able to do now about the Trieste territory may be to run in into a unified internationalized z.one, bringing Yugoslavia and Italy together In its management Insteed of trying to divide it between them: This would have nothing to do with the original peace treaty idea of an independent free territory governed under United Nations auspices. Russia brought that up again Tuesday in the UN. She can obstruct things like that too easily. Yugoslav and Italian participation In management, however, might turn out to be a horse of another color. Britain and the United States Might even be able to step out, If the things were worked out' right leaving only France as mediator.

DANGER0U8 The trouble is that it's too dangerous to rely on estimates which could turn out to be wrong in such a , critical. situation. It Tito can't win his bargaining position, main- tehace of face might force him to take dangerous gambles. Many Yugoslavs, including Tito, have indicated there is a bargaining position, They indicate they are not so much actually concerned with possession of' the port as with two corollaries: First and above all, they dislike seeing Italy with a bridgehead on the eastern side of the Adriatic, and fear that it would be used primarilyMn an attempt to push Italian control down the coast into zone B and even possibly beyond. They haven't forgotten Mussolini's interest lh Albania and the eastern shore during the last war. Secondly, the port iself is lm. portant to Yugoslav trade, and they want access-to it. A friendly, agreement — which could -prove very profitable for Italy — would satisfy Tito on this point. GUARANTEES If, there were some means, then, of giving Yugoslavia satisfactory guarantees against what she calls Italian expanlonism, and If "Italy would renounce claims to the Italian settlements in zone B, agree, ment along present lines would not seen too difficult. But the matter has now gone beyond the limits of a problem of actualities, and the politics, cultures, national pride and irredent- ism of both nations has been in involved. Both governments have got themselves into positions which, should they get caught compromising, would cause them serious political trouble at home. The danger of putting their armed forces face to tape at the roadblocks which now divide the territory has become only tod obvious.
