E. S. L.,\nis to uphold the rights of all ex-\nservice men, whether members of\nthe organization or uot and to see\nthat the obligations of the Government to them are properly discharged. For this purpose the\nLegion maintains a'Service Bifreau\nat Ottawa, which carefully watches\nall Legislation relating to ex-service\nmen, and also handles a very large\nnumber of individuakcases of appeals against Pension awards, aud\nother matters needing redress.\nThere is some disposition now to\ntry to get away from obligations\nto ex-servioe men and the only\nhope of offsetting this is by vigorous and united effort on the part\nof ex-service men themselves. For\nthis reason, if for no other, all ex-\nservice men are asked to support\nthe Legion, and anyone who has\ncomplaint to make against the\nhandling of his case, whether in re\ngard to a pension or any other\nmatter, is invited to lay his case\nbefore the local branch of the\nLegion, who will do everything\npossible towards getting a satisfactory adjustment. \"\nHon.

He touched upon the significance of the standardised tests which are employed in\nthis inspectorate.

ALICE ARM AND ANYOX HERALD, Saturday, April 28 1928\nAlice Arm & Anyox Herald\nIssued every Saturday at Alice Arm\nAlice Ann and Anyox 82.50 Yearly\nOther Parts of Canada, $2.75\nBritish Isles and United States, $8.00\nNotices for drown Grants - - $15.00\nLand Notices - - - - $15.00\nTransient Advertising, 50c. per inch\nContract Hates on Application,\nE. MOSS, Editor and Publisher.\nOf all the \"Weeks\" in our Canadian Calendar, that are set apart\nfor special observances, there is no\nsingle one so worthy of thoughtful\nconsideration as \"Canadian Forest\nWeek\". The very fact that it\nalone is solemnly proclaimed annually by the Governor General of\nthe Dominion, demonstrates its\nsupreme importance.\nIt is a melancholy reflection that\na \"Royal Edict\" of this description\nshould be deemed necessary to\nwarn a level-headed and progressive people not to destroy one of\ntheir most priceless national possessions and one that brings them fame\nabroad and prosperity at home.\nYet so it is.! Viscount Willingdon\nwill not set his hand this year to a\ndocument urging all Canadians not\nto set ablaze their dwellings and\ntheir places of business. Why\nshould it be necessary for him over\nand over again to beg and pray\nthe people of British Columbia to\nconcentrate on preserving from fire\nthe most important factor in keeping those homes and factories in\nexistence.\nIndustry takes a heavy toll yearly of our forests. The mighty trees\nfill beneath the axe, but industry\naffords employment to many thousands, and huge revenues to the\ncountry's Government. Our forest\nproducts shipped abroad constitute\na far more valuable type of advertisement than all the organized publicity mongering possible.\nYet the axe and saw plying continuously through the logging\nseason may not destroy as much\ntimber as a match dropped by a\ncareless tourist, or a camp fire left\nunextinguished by a negligent\ncamper.\nOver 80 per cent, of the outbreaks in B. C. forests are due to\nhuman agencies, and by far the\ngreatest and most deadly blazes\nhave been traced without a shadow\nof a doubt to the very class of\nperson in whom every instinct of\npatriotism, sportsmanship, and right\nfeeling should be uppermost when\nthe preservation of our forests are\nconcerned. For the forests offer\nevery kind of delight to those that\nvisit them for sport and recreation,\nand it is a terrible indictment of\nPresent Tonnage And\nValue Premier Ore\nDuring 1927, 242,172 tons with\nan average assay content per ton\nof 0.49 ounces gold and 13.96\nounces silver were mined at the\nPremier Mine at Stewart, and at\nthe end of 1927 the combined\nbroken and unbroken ore reserves\nof the Premier mine were 163,732\ntons less than at the end of 1926,\nThis means that only a very moderate tonnage, namely 80,440 tons\nof new ore was found and opened\nup during 1927. The reason for\nthis failure to find and open up\nsubstantial tonnages of new ore is,\nas was emphasized in the annual\nreport for 1926, that the 5th. level\nappears to be definitely below the\nhorizon of profitable values.\nThe total of the above estimates\nof broken and ore reserves, down\nto the 5th. level of the present\nmine workings is 634,537 tons, averaging 0.43 ounces of gold and\n8.49 ounces silver. With gold at\n$20 per ounce and silver at 50 cents\nper ounce, this represents a gross\nvalue of $13.35 per ton.\n\"Canada does not want to enter\ninto any Pan-American conference\nin substitution for the splendid association of British commonwealths,\" declared Sir James Aik-\nins, former Lieut.-Govenor of Manitoba, in an address before the\nYoung Men's Canadian Club.\nReferring to Canada's international problems, Sir James said the\ngreatest danger in Canada was not\nfrom demagogues, propagandists,\nbandits or bolsheviats but from the\napathy and indifference in respect\nto the proper exercise of citizen's\nduties.\nIN PROBATE\nIN THE SUPREME COURT OF\nBRITISH COLUMBIA\nIn the Matter of the Administration\nAct: and\nIn the Matter of the Estate of Gideon W.
