SUBSCRIPTION PRICE: TWO DOLLARS PER ANNUM\nTwenty-Five Mills\nTo Be The Taxation\nRateForYearl927\nCOURTENAY, May 5.\u00E2\u0080\u0094Thanks to\nthe determined efforts of the city\ncouncil, the 1927 mill rate will be kept\ndown to the same level as that of last\nyear. Twenty-live mills was the rate\nset at Monday night's meeting. This\nwas only possible by the closest cooperation between the llnnnce nnd\npublic works committees. When It Is\nremembered that, owing to the necessity of a new high school building,\nthe school rate has Jumped to sixteen\nand one-quarter mills, thc ratepayers\nmay congratulate themselves in the\npossession of a council which* is able\nto keep the rate tit a stable figure.\nThlB very desirable condition, however, was not arrived at without very\ncareful consideration nnd paring of\nestimated expenditures, both in tke\npublic works antl other departments.\nTotal Rule In 25 91111s\nThe 1927 rate Is made up as follows,\nschool rate, lO'/i mills; water rate,\n19i; general rate, 7; making a total\nrate of 25 mills.\nThe by-laws recently passed by\nplebescite received their third reading\nand were finally adopted.\nThe sale of the bond Issue in connection with debentures covering both\nthe high school and electrical extension by-laws was left iu the hands of\nthe mayor and city clerk who will\nprobably call for tenders. Alderman\nMacDonald pointed out that the passing of the electric by-law means that\nwork on the new line and sub-station\nwill have to be taken In hand at onee.\nHe proposed that the electric department be charged with the purchase\nprice of the lot at the rear of the city\nhall for this purpose and that the\npublic works department attend to\nthe necessary clearing and fencing.\nNew tower Hate for Creamery\n, Aid. MacDonald also drew attention\nto the serious outside competition for\nthe local Ice and Ice cream trade and\nproposed that the local Creamery\nAssociation be granted an industrial\nelectrical power rate which will enable them to meet this competition.\nAfter a good deal of discussion and\nwith the view of protecting local industry, a special rate was set which\nwill enable the farmers' organization\nto meet this outside competition. The\nindustrial rate will be applied to the\nCreamery as from the first day of\nMay.\nLadysmith Now .\nPoliced By The\nProvincial Force\nThe Provincial Police force Is now\nIn charge of Ladysmith police affairs,\nhaving taken charge on May 1st. Staff\nSergeant Stephenson, of the Nanaimo\noffice, recently completed arrangements at Ladysmith for the policing\nof that city in future. In accordance\nwith arrangements arrived at some\nweeks ago between the Provincial\nauthorities und the Ladysmith city\ncouncil.\nThree men will be stationed a'\nLadysmith. and will be directly under\nConstable T. Smith, recently of Natal.\nKootenay. He, In turn, will bo under\nthe supervision of Stnff Sergeant\nStephenson, of tlle Nanaimo office.\nWINS UNDERWOOD MEDAL'\nCOURTENAY, May 6\u00E2\u0080\u0094Miss Toshiko\nIwasa, of Cumberland, pupil of the\nCourtenay Commercial school, has\nbeen successful in winning a silver\nmedal presented by the Underwood\nTypewriter Co.

The plan\napparently met with the approval of\nthe Board, for after considerable discussion a motion was formally passed\nto the effect that the present public\nschool staff be reduced to 12 teachers\nand the high school staff be reduced\nfrom 3 to 2 teachers. Emobdied in\nthe motion was a clause stating tbat\nthe last teacher engaged in each case\nbe asked for their resignations with\nthe understanding that they be given\nthe first opportunity for re-engagement in case of a vacancy. The new\narrangement will take effect on tlle\n30th of June, which means that after\nthat date Miss Beatrice Bickle and\nMr. L. Hardy will no longer be members of the staff, as they were the last\ntwo teachers engaged.\nHome for Economics (hiss\nHome economics and a possible\npermanent room for this important\nclass will be left ln the hands of the\nBuilding Committee. It is expected\nthat Principal Shenstone. of thc high\nschool, will be Inteiwlewed and a proposal made to transfer the chemical\nequipment to the basement, leaving\nthc present laboratory for the use of\nMiss Till and her domestic science\npupils.\nObjert to Cost of Audit\nNotlficntion from the city clerk that\nMessrs. C, II. Macintosh and J. Dick\nhave been appointed to audit tbe\nschool books for the year 1112\" at R\nfee of $50. was the cause of no little\nargument lust night. It was stated\n| lhat thc fee last year was $35, and\nthat the council, in increasing this\nsum by $15 was not conforming to its\nurging some time ago that the School\nBoard economize as much as possible\nthis year. This brought about u\nthorough discussion of the audit ill\ngeneral. Trustee MacKinnon said that\nthe audit and subsequent advertising\nof same was costing entirely too much\nmoney and he was of the opinion that\nIf it were put In more concise form\nthan hitherto the expense would bc\ncut almost 50 per cent.

C.\nFRIDAY, MAY 6, 1927.\nThe Cumberland Islander\nPUBLISHED EVERY FRIDAY AT CUMBERLAND, B. C.\nEDWARD W. BICKLE\nIt\nFRIDAY, MAY 6, 1927.\nTalk about doing a good deed each day, which is\nthe motto of the Boy Scouts. That fellow who\nbought Balto and his associates and took them\nout of prison and restored\nA GOOD DEED them to freedom certainly did\na good deed. What, you never\nheard of Balto? Oh, yes you did but you have\nforgotten. It's a good story and we'll tell it to\nyou briefly. Balto was the leader of the dog team\nwhich carried antitoxin to Nome, Alaska, two\nwinters ago when nearly every child in the settlement was down with diphtheria. There was no\nserum in Nome and the children were dying like\nflies. The dog-sled was packed, a man was found\nto drive it, the antitoxin was buried under the\nblanket\u00E2\u0080\u0094and away they went. Mile after mile\nthey struggled on over the * snow and ice and\nafter five days of rough going they trotted into\nNome, carrying life and hope to the huddled\nhomes.\nAfter a short rest the dogs trekked back over\nthe snow again and somebody bought them and\nput them into the cheap museums on exhibition.\nThese dogs hated the stuffy quarters of the museums. They hated the crowds of staring people\nand they grew tired and sick of the shut-in-life.\nThen a man who loved dogs went into the\nmuseum and saw Balto and his team-mates. He\nbought the whole outfit and he has taken the dogs\nto his big ranch. He's going to let them run free\nall the rest of their lives. That's what we call\ndoing a good deed\u00E2\u0080\u0094don't you? Let the Boy\nScouts vote on it.\nOf course, you know about Stevenson's remarkable story, \"Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde,\" the man\nwith two directly oposite natures in his make-up.\nRecently we heard of a\nKEEP 'EM CURBED man being tried for a\nbrutal murder. His defense was that he could remember nothing about\nthe cruel deed, On the witness stand he said, \"If\nI committed the crime, it was not really I,\nwas another person within me.\"\nThe poor prisoner is probably right. We have\nseveral natures within ourselves. We frequently\ncannot understand after a fit of anger why we did\ncertain things. There are days when we bubble\nover with kindness and generosity and there are\nother days when we whistle and sing and there\nare days when we growl and scold. We all have\na good self and a bad self, a liberal self and a\nmiserly self, a true self and a false self.\nBut we must accept the responsibility for the\nbehavior of our various selves. We cannot shirk\nresponsibility by saying, \"My evil nature did this\nor that. I am not to blame.\" Because it is\nrather difficult to hang your evil self without\ngiving a severe shock to the rest of your being.\n\"What's the use of worrying, it never was worth\nwhile.\" We would like to wage a successful war\non this vicious habit of worrying that has made\nso many people unhappy. Nearly all\nWORRY worry is futile, and nearly all of it begins in a delusion of importance. As\nwe grow older we relaize that our places are\neasily filled and that if we drop out, in a few\nmonths we are entirely forgotten. It is a wise\nman who comes to know that the burdens he carries can easily be shifted to other shoulders.\nSuppose that you, a private citizen without\ninfluence, worry about the government's foreign\npolicy. Can't you see it is just as silly as it would\nbe to worry about the course of the planets ? You\nhave about as much influence in one case as in\nthe other. The truth is that few of us are important enough to do any worrying. Things will\ngo ahead in their own sweet way whether we\nworry or not. And to worry about things you\ncannot help is to lose your dignity and make yourself ridiculous\u00E2\u0080\u0094-to make yourself a small dog\nbarking frantically at the moon.\nDid you ever hear of the little girl who was\nfound crying bitterly? Her mother said, \"My\ndear, what is the matter?\" And the little lass,\nbetween sobs, apswered, \"I was just thinking\nthat some day, after I am grown up, I may have\na baby and I might put her into the oven to keep\nwarm and I might forget about her and she might\nburn up.\" There you have an expert in worrying\nwho will grow into a very miserable and unhappy\nwoman. Never borrow trouble. If the evil is\nnot to come, it is useless, and so much waste; if\nit is to come, best keep all your strength to meet\nit. If you can't mend matters it is silly to worry;\nif you can mend matters you should go ahead and\ndo it instead of letting anxiety sap your energy,\n\"Say It with whiskers.\"\nThis ls how Roy D'Arcy, noted\nvillain of the screen, eays he was\nable to play three parts at once,\nwhich happened while he was working tn \"Bardelys the Magnificent,\"\nKing Vidor's Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer\nproduction starring John Gilbert, that\ncbmea to thc llo-llo theatre this Friday and Saturday.

Already requests have been received for photographs of Denny\nln his evening dress, hy prominent\nclothing manufacturers nil over the\ncountry.\nIt Is a fact that the star designs all\nhis own clothes. All that his tailor\ndoes is to execute the sketches drawn\nby Denny. The latter gets his clothes\nwhile the tailor takes the credit for\ndesigning them.\n\"Skinner's Dress Suit\" Is an admirable vehicle for the Universal\nstar.
