A child\nwas about to be born to* a British\nprincess. Eventually\u2014and nature is\nstrangely natural\u2014the child was born\nand in a few months we will have forgotten all about her. She will lay\noff the bottle (as many of us a 'ot\nolder haven't sense enough to), will\nlearn to walk (as many of us wish\nwe hadn't), will annoy the nursemaid and the neighbors, and will in\ngood time grow up to be a princess,\nno doubt receiving an odd flat nose\nor a black eye in the playful process\nof princess-hood, just as they say\nPrince David', did.. .\nNow it may not be nice to t(alk\nthis way, but that's just what we're\ngetting at, as you will later see; and\n.we're really not( prompted by either\nvulgarity or disloyalty, because the\nfamily pedigree says our old boys\nwere always, with the king, and we\ndon't know that he ever did us any\nharm. And as for, being vulgar, well,\n. we didn't .start this publicity.\nBut. we can't reconcile the excitement. .CnseasOned though we be,\nwe can't find anything extraordinary\nabout propagation of species. Mrs.\nYip Soo has babies, and so does dear\nold Mrs. Grundy, and Lord knows the\nGrundy woman is far ahead in endurance tests.\nSo now Britain and Belgium have\nbeen appeased, no doubt Mrs. Grundy\nwill carry on without alarm.\nHuman nature undergoes various\nparoxysms, returns varying reactions,\nunder, correspond-\nHELPING AND ing stimuli. Just\nBUTTING IN as the chap in the\nfable couldn't\nhandle fat, and friend wife cared for\nnothing else, so what makes one tearful makes another gloat, and wliat\nmakes one kind, makes the other\nbind of ornery.\nWhen a major calamity strikes -a\nsmall community local consciousness\nruns the gamut. Dull and doleful-\nBachelor Smith adopts half a dozen\nkids, and self-centered and eccentric\nyoung Jones becomes an atom of\nenergy, while philanthropic old\nBrown, whom in normal life (when\nthere is nothing to be virtuous about)\nis the personification of virtue, becomes the lordly critic.\"\nIt should never have happened,\nsays one. The company is to blame,\ncapital is running us ragged, says\nthe agitator. The government is responsible, .says Mr. Giving-less Charity.\nPerhaps, and perhaps some more.\nAnd what have you? You may argue\nit is wrong, and you may even believe the government should pass a\nlaw against explosions; and you may\nget enthusiastic and turn heroic, but\nif there is any man in you, you will\nnot assume either the responsibility\nof adjuster or judge. You-will recognize the situation, embrace the responsibility, make mental note of the\n- existing unfairnesses, and pass on to\ndo what you can under present cijs-J\ncumstaSces.\nDifferent people react differehtly\nunder 'such a strain. It would be a\npretty lifeless one who was not\nmoved, but when the enthusiasm has\nbeen rubbed off, the true nature Of\nthe Individual lies exposed. \u25a0 There\nis the man who could give a thousand\nbut says he objects to the principle.\nIt is quite easy to understand a\nman's humanity being so strong that\nan ideal means- more to him than\nthe sight\", of human sorrow . There\nare that kind.\nThere are those who plainly and\nfrankly refuse to. become excited. 'If\na fellow citizen is,,crushed by fate,\nthen it is just his misfortune, and\nwe're sorry, but- we ,have, our own\ncanoe to paddle, so you'll have to\ndrown. ' Cynical, but honest, anyway.'\n. There there is'the supercilio'i-j- !ype,\nby.profressioa all humanity and\nloyalty. He hops into their ear and\nputs in an'\u2022 appearance. Perhaps he\n-stops a'tired and busy workman, and\ndrags irom him the painful details.\nThen, assured that he has made himself seen to everybody, he drives off\nagain, and tells all his friends how\nawful it all is. A few days later he\nis advocating a thorough investigation;, for the protection of people,\nyou know. SsiL*\nThe Similkameen does not need\nanyone to tell her her business. The\n\u25a0Similkameen bears an open mind, and\nwelcomes help, especially in times of\ndistress; but the Similkameen real\nizes that loyalty to itself is its mos'\ncher'shed possession, and wants no\noutider making an excue of a little\nsympathy to become a Daniel, laying\nthe blame.\nIt may be that there was a fault\nEut if so, the Simllkamee is man\nenough to want to know it; and the\nSimilkameen strongly resents the\noutside world even h'nting that there\nshould be a full explanation, which\nis to imply that there is something\nto hide.\nThe operator Is just as vtluable\nto Similkameen prosperity as the\nminer. And both realize it. Whether\none or the other makes mistakes, or\nnet. there is no uenying that conn-c\nt'on, and no outside hand need be\nthrust in to urge justice.\nEveryone in the Similkameen; and\nthatj includes officials, dependents\nand interested citizens with the wel\nfare of their district and their fellows at heart, wantjs to know the\ntruth about this disaster.\nThere is no weeping and wailing,\nbut there is sorrow, and realization.\nAnd though the Similkameen welcomes witi open arms outside assistance, it is- not because she is unwill\ning, but because the task is too great.\nTo impose justice where justice is\nalready intended is' a gross exposition of selfishness guised as sym:\npathy. Whether there has been fault-\nor no fault, the Similkameen can de-\npen(I,Lto_tell Jls^lUhe..triithv.an.d anyone who knows, in the present case\nthe relations between the company'\nand the employees is either a beast-\nor a fooi t,o suggest that.there has\nbeen anything fo be concealed.\nThe fact is that there is n0 one\nmore anxious than the company offi\ncials that every possible scrap of\nevidence be produced; and they were\nin complete accord with government\nofficials in this effect. When the\ntime comes, the Similkameen can be\ndepended on to tell the truth.

Though basketball Wit be played, senior B\nchampionship stuff appears to be\nout ot the qj-estlon. Handicapped by various looal circumstances, the quest for highest\nhonors has been at besit a worrying one.\nLast year's team is Pre'ity well\nscattered, and it showed great\nchanges from the team which went\nso far* in 1928, in Princeton's first\nseason in organized basketball.\nIn that year, when Princeton were\nrunners-up for ihe B.C. title, tjhe first\nstring was Kelly Callahan and Bill\nMuerer guards; Wjalt GUI, center;\nRalph Thomas and Bill Lucas Ccapt.)\nforwards; Jack Wilson, Wilf Madore,\nJack Bontain and Sherm Broderlck\nsubs. .\nGOOD LUCK- END8\nWhen 1929 came round only Lucas\nand Thomas of the \"sta>s\" remained,\nijlnd Wilson (land Hroderick were\nmissing from the subs, but again by\ngood fortune Princeton was able to\nturn out a wonderful team.

The players were\nscattered and conditions were adverse. Princeton played only four\ngames all year and only two of them\nwere in the playoff series. By a\nscant margin Princeton lost to Penticton In the first round.\nHenderson and McKenzie have returned to Revelstoke, and Thomas,\nLucas and Campbell, along with Cec.\nRitchie, another former Princeton\nplayer, latterly with Kelowna, are all\nreturning to 'Varsity. They should\ngreatly Increase 'Varsity's prospects.\nWith all five regulars gone, ana\nnone to take their place, Princeton\njust about gives up the ghost as far\nas -|maJor honors go. Last year's\nsubs, Madore, Bontain, Gordle McLean and Dave Taylor, were hardly\nin the class with the regulars. McLean, too, has taken his departure.\nSo for the time being, after a spectacular rise from obscurity to fame,\nPrinceton will have to be content\nwith lesser'basketball for a season\nor so.\nA considerable program of benefit\nsport has been arranged ln aid of\nthe Blakeburn Relief Fund.

The generial- opinion\nseems to be that these duties. are\nnatural reactions to the recent-American tiariff which raised ther^SaS onl\nmany, products whi:h were formerly\nshipped in fair volume from Canada\ninto the United States.\nThe Yakima Herald, in its issue\nof August 28th- comments editorially\nas follows: LswSt\n\"Canada's precipitate announcement of a rise in import duties on\nsoft fruits establishes a virtual barrier, against shipment of Yakima valley frii't across the border. Local\ndealers.will be forced to look for\nanother opening for the fruit that\nhas gone into Canada. -With 90\ncents a box added to pears and 60\ncents imposed on apples, \"the price\nto the consumer would be prohibitive. Growers and shippers,in this\nvalley cannot compete against such\na conditi n, since they already sell\non a close margin. Canada's action\n.was taken in retaliation of the new\ntariff bill approved by the last session of congress.. Of that, there can\nbe no doubt. The rates now imposed\nby this country on lumber and\nshingles from Canada may help the\nwest side of the state but they have\nresulted in no slight harm to the\nWenatchee - and Yakima districts.\nThe life of the new import duties\ndepends on how long the Canadian\nconsumers can get, along without our\nfruit and produce We would not\nhe surprised if in t'me the consumers\ninsist tha* the duties be lowered.\"\nThe Wenatchee World of the same\ndate has this to say:\n\"The Canadian state department\ndenies, in an official statement that\nthe 'ncreased import rates on fruit\nimported into that- country is in the\nnature of re'aliation for advanced\nduties upon wheat and lumber r;'*ip\nped Into\"- this country from Can da.\nI- w?.r- predicted while the tariff bill\nwas pending-in congress that foreign]\ncountries! would adop' retal'atory\nmeasures if we raised the duty on\nimports of foreign goods.

The' fruit\nindustry seems1 to be the goat that\nis sacrificed in propitiation for the\nlumber and wheat producers benefit.\"\n*The writer is basing his statement\non the using of gross we'ghts for tariff purposes- which is not correct,\nthe net weights being the ones used\nwhich reduces the amount of dttfiy\npayable on these products.\nINTERIOR COMMITTEE OF\nDIRECTION\nKelowna, B.C.\nON -AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS\nTo preside at an important, conference between the railway companies\nand Okangan growers on fruit rates,\nSanford Evans.
