Death of Mrs. F. Sturtridge The citizens of Greenwood were shocked to hear of the death of Mrs.;l Matilda Sturtridge which took place some time- Tuesday night. The late Mrs. Sturtridge had lived with her husband on a ranch up Boundary Creek for a great number of years. She had not been in good health for some days prior to her. demise. ���" The deceased was born in Norway in May 1860 and at the age of 12 years . emigrated to New Zealand.

AAr inter Traffic Smow ou the city streets should mean to.all automobile drivers ai least one thing, says a daily newspaper,���a driving speed of at least (on miles an hour less than summer speed. And .this word of advice to city motorists may well be passed on tp motorists on country roads. Snow ia a tricky surface. It provides good traction on paved streets and 'hard roads when a car Is forging ahead, but no traction at all when the bi-akos are suddenly applied. In other words, a car can be driven easily on It, hut can ' bo stopped only wiih diiliculty. It is disconcerting to drive up lo a street or road intersection at what, in the summer months would.he-a moderate speed, and, finding need of applying the brakes, feel the car sliding helplessly onward, or suddenly skidding to 'he side. It is disconcerting always, aud il ls frequently dangerous as well. Experienced and careful drivers have various means of checking this sliding aud swaying, but thoy know thero is only ono sure method, ono real safety- device���to drive sioAvly, arid particularly so when near road intersections, curves, culverts, bridges,-passing oilier cars, etc. Only so can a car o'u slippery roads be kept sufficiently under control i'or safely. Pedestrians, too, should take' warning. The practice of standing on thc road just a foot or so-away while a motor passes is dangerous enough on diy roads. II ia doubly dangerous after lhe snow comes. If the driver lias need to' apply his brakes suddenly the car nine, times out of ten will sway to ihe loft or the right, and tho pedestrian standing too close is likely to be side- swiped witli unpleasant results. Winter conditions should, in brief, intensify care in driving and walking. There is much greater liability to accident witli snow on thc ground. Cold weather brings another danger which is not so much in evidence in summer. Iu cold weather motorists arc templed lo start up (heir engines and allow them to run for a time, to warm up within the closed doors of the garage. As a natural result the garage fills up with the deadly monoxide gas i'rom the, exhaust with all tho possibilities for tragedy which such a condition brings aboul. ��� Another factor whicli necessitates grealer care in winter driving is created by the fact that touring cars have all thcir curl'eins up while thc windows of closed cars arc kept shut. It is not possible, therefore, lo signal with the same ease aud effectiveness to other cars to the rear regarding tht-. ���turn a driver may intend to make..In the winter, therefore, greater attention should bo paid lo the rear than is necessary during lhe summer months if accidents are to b'o avoided.

U. 1708 An eastern company is manufacturing a chemically treated paper for printing purposes, which will not burn. Canada has always been a land of pioneers, especially in transportation. Oue of the greatest of these was Samuel Cunard, the founder of the Cunard Line, who, few people realize, was bom in Halifax. He came of United Ipmpire Loyalist stock, and the 21st of November is the anniversary of his birth 139 years ago, in 1787. It was due to Samuel Cunard/s imagination and enterprise that the stout Britannia, practically the first steamship to cross the Atlantic, made lier first run froniTbiverpool to Halifax and Boston in 1S-10. This'little ship with her gross tonnage of but 1150 tons, her" modest' len'gth of 207 feet, inaugurated an uninterrupted,trans-Atlantic service'which has.been one of the great factors in .the development of Canada during the past 86 years.

Canada, may expect to receive even-a larger number of Norwegians during the next few yoars thau have come to this country since the United States quota law was adopted.

Living conditions he found very bad. Two families "biten have to live in one room, separated meiely by a chalk line. The misery among the "avoiking classes has resulted in an army of parentless and homeless children, who live by begging, stealing, and sometimes by even worse methods. While the Soviet authoritis spend gigantic sums of money for propaganda purposes, a generation of criminals is springing up, whose forcible des- liuctiou is being seriously demanded oy lho Russian peasauts. The 'suppression of freedom of opinion is absolute, and for non-Russians unbearable. Intellectual depression lies over the land.

LETTER WRITING Sometimes it would seem, in these days of telephones arid telegrams, * that the art of letter writing, which was brought to such perfection in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries has been almost lost. And yet what can equal the joy of receiving a long newsy letter from a friend, a letter which tells of all the little intimate details, which the one so far away from the old familiar surroundings is longing to hear?. Such a letter is bringing both to the writer and to the recipient far more than may appear on the.sur- "'face . The very effort which has been made to find the time .to write of the little:, homely details calls for loving and unselfish thoughts and we often help to break down the. subtle beliefe of separation which may have unconsciously sprung up in the thoughts of the one who is away from the scenes of childhood. ��� The tender home ties are very precious, and something which, in this workaday world, we cannot afford to neglect. How many anxious hours and moments of distress might be spared ii we would decide positively to be more, thoughtful in the apparently trifling things of daily experience. A lettei to the folks at home, full of little expressions ofs.love and .consideration, is of untold value and more far-reaching in its effects than we know.; To the boy or girl battling with - temptation. the word in season may prove to be the turning point of a career. Just the mere fact that someone has cared enough about them\to spare\a few moments from a. busy day to write the word of cheer will give them fresh courage to feo forward and prove that thought. The stiff formal phrases *of the old letter writers'may occasion us to smile but do not these old letters ask us to stop and ponder whether, in confining ��� our communications to telephone calls and curt notes, which may not be shutting out, from our experience something which is, after all, of genuine value in our intercourse with our fellow man? Anything which is .helping to bring us into closer touch with each-other-is-not-trivialvor-unimport-= ant. If the correspondents are living' in separate countries the value of letter writing is perhaps increased. This is because much misunderstanding and prejudice between "those __ of different nationalities Vand upbringing may be broken down thereby, since the small kindly acts of courtesy and hospitality are apt be recorded and so a false concept of a nation^ and its people, maybe replaced with one which is far pleasanter and more nearly correct.��� Christian Science Monitor.

This feature is said to abound in thrills, comedy and romance. The romantic star-is seen for the first time as" a7Russian���-in garb more picturesque than any he has previously worn. His first appearance is as a Cossackylieutenant, then as*the.bandit who became known as the Eagle because of his swift,: mysterious movements. The star is supported by a large and distinguished cast, including Vilma Banky, the Hungarian blonde whose beauty and. ability have caused even blase-Hollywood to gasp; and Louise Dresser, for many years a star of mus- cal comedy. The action of the story takes place in Imperial Russia before the revolution. The romance starts in a brilliant royal setting and then goes to the Russian countryside. Hans Kraly wrote the screen play, basing it on "Dubrov- sky," a classic of Russian literature by Alexander Pushkin, "the Shakespeare of Russia."
