BRITISH COLUMBIA FRIDAY MARCH 13th, 1931.\nSL'BSORIPftON I'RICE: TWO DOLLARS PER ANNUM\nGerman People\nTaking Their\nSports Seriously\nGood Feeling Now Exists Between British And Germans\nThe Imperial Pavilion at Royston,\nwith Mr. and Mrs. Joe Idlens- as host\nand hostess, was the scene of a very\nenjoyable Canadian Club luncheon on\nFriday evening. Twenty-five members\nof the club were present and attar\npartaking of the splendid luncheon\nserved, listened to a very interesting\naddress by Major T. V. S. Scudamore,\nof Vancouver, who told the story of a\ntour he had made recently from Germany to Sweden by way of the Baltic\nStates.\nMajor Scudamore said that at the\nclose of the war he had been in Germany for a month with the army of\noccupation and he could say that the\nmanner in which the work of the army\nof occupation had been carried out\nhad resulted in a spirit of good feeling\nbetween the British and the Germans.\nBe humorously said that at this time\nthere had been a good deal of courtship between the British soldiers and\nthe German girls ;in fact a marriage\nbureau had been established and about\neighty members of that part of the\narmy with which he was connected\nhad taken German wives. One thing\nhe noticed was that whereas the British girls considered the three R's as\nnecessary to wifehood, the German\n(iris believed more ln the three K's\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nKids, Kitchen and Kirk.\nThe work of disarmament, he said,\nhad been undertaken very unobstrus-\nively but thoroughly so that by 1927\nGermany had been absolutely disarmed for every practical purpose. In every city that had a fortifled area this\nhad been turned into playing fields.\nEvery evening shortly after the\nstores, and offices were closed one\ncould see the young German on the\nsport field and taking his sports very\nseriously indeed. Physical exercises,\nfootball, running and many other\ngames were entered into with zest\nwhich was already beginning to show\nitself, as Major Scudmore said he\nhad never in all his life seen a better\ndeveloped race of young children.\nOne thing durirg this last trip was\nvery noticeable; whereas in 1923 Germany was virtually starving, he never\naaw a people who had recovered so\nquickly In physique and general appearance.\nAnother thing he noticed was the\nfact that while there were about Ave\nmillion wounded men in Germany,\nthere were no war wounded ln evidence. Germany, too, had a very practical pensions system. Pensioners\nwere given so much in cash, provided\nwith a certain amount of provisions\nat cost and given rebates on railway\ntickets and amusements. Also, there\nwere no war memorials in Germany;\nhe thought this had been somewhat\noverdone ln the other warring nations.\nHe spoke very highly of Hindenberg,\nfor whom he said the German people\nhad a great devotion. While a Prussian and ln his time an extreme supporter of the Kaiser, Hindenberg had\nmade a very democratic president who\nhad done his job well and they had\n.' no person to replace him. Had\nStressemann lived, he would have done\naa well.\nThe Germans all agreed that tlle\nAlsace-Lorraine trouble had been settled for all time but they have not\nagreed to the settlement on the eastern\nboundary and sooner or later they\nwere going to get back their eastern\nterritory, by force If necessary. The\nPolish Corridor, he said, was a mistake and would be the cause of trouble.\nFrom Germany he passed through\nthe three little \"buHer\" states of Lito-\nvania, Latvia and Estonia and humorously described their attempts at\nmaintaining their nationhood. In each\nof these states the Russian Bolshevists\nhad leased the largest buildings in\nthe capital cities which they maintained as headquarters for the distribution\nof Bolshevist propaganda throughout\nthe whole of Europe.\nPassing Into Finland, he was impressed with thc number of women\nemployed ln Important positions. Finland was thc flrst nation to give woman the vote and she was now a very\nimportant factor ln the political and\nbusiness life of the country. While\nthey had prohibition ln Finland, bootlegging was even better organized than\ntn the country to the south of us and\nall kinds of liquor could be had.\nHe then visited Sweden where he\nhad one of the most delightful times\nany man could have; Swedes were\nmost hospitable and charming. During the war they were pro-German\nand amassed huge fortunes selling\nfoodstuffs to the Germans which they\nhad Invested ln the German mark but\nwith the collapse of that currency\ntheir fortunes were swept away and\nthey did not now feel so kindly towards the German people. The city\nhall at Stockholm was a very fine\npiece of architecture and was built\nwithout the cost of public money, each\nresident contributing anything from\n2S cents, the price of a brick, to (5.00,\nthe price of a bronze tlle for the roof.\nIt took ten years to build and much\nof the Inside decorating was done by\na brother of the king, one of Sweden's\nforemost artists, who contributed three\nyears of his time to this work. Major\nScudamore wound up his address with\na very humorous account of being\ngiven a Swedish bath.\nOn motion by J. H. Eakin, who said\nthat after hearing an acocunt of how\npeople lived in other countries, they\nshould be glad they lived in such a\nfavored spot as the northern part of\nVancouver Island, a hearty vote of\nthanks was extended to the speaker.\nCity to Appeal to\nSupreme Court\nAt a special meeting of the Cumberland City Council it was decided\nto appeal to the Supreme Court of\nCanada against the decision of the\nCourt of Appeal of British Columbia,\nwhich awarded to the Cumberland\nElectric Lighting Company, $74,000\nfor the property rights and undertakings of the Company, upholding the\ndecision of the arbitration board.\nThe Supreme Court of Canada will\nit is expected, sit about the end of\nApril and it is possible that the appeal of the city of Cumberland will\nbe heard about the first week in Hay.\nFederal Government\nAnd General Policy\nNew. From- ths Potninion Capital\nOttawa, March 11; (Special to the\nIslander).\u00E2\u0080\u0094One of the most widely\ndiscussed acts of the Bennett Government is recent order-in-council\nbanning .imports of furs, lumber, coal\npulpwood and flsh and grain into\nCanada from Russia.\nThe action was a definite response\nto an alleged trade offer from Russia\nwhereby the Soviets agreed to buy\ncertain machinery in Canada, provided Canada permitted the importation\nof Russian coal. Such coal was sent\ninto Canada in large quantities last\nyear and the question of an embargo\nupon it was under consideration\nwhen importers suspended the movement for the winter months.\nIn addition to dealing with this\nspecific question the Government\nnow lays down a general policy. Evidence of persuasive character has\nbeen forthcoming to show that the\nproducts banned are largely produced by forced labor, or in any event\nby labor which is paid a few cents\nper day\u00E2\u0080\u0094the average is said to be\n23 cents. The position taken is that\nadmission of such goods in competition with Canadian products must inevitably mean a lowering of Canadian standards of living, if not the\ndestruction of industries and consequently larger unemployment difficulties.\nThe . broader academic question\nwas raised as to the wisdom of helping Russia to make a success of her\nfive year plan by absorbing her pro-\nducts. Obviously the action of no one\ncountry could be more than a minor\nfactor in the eventual outcome of the\nexperiment and Canada's policy represents what the Government believes to be the best interest of Canadians rather than an Incursion Into\nsoviet affairs.\nss \u00E2\u0080\u00A2 \u00E2\u0080\u00A2\nA point which has been raised by\nopponents of the Government is that\nCanada in need of export markets, is\ndeprived of this Soviet business by\nthe Government's act. This is not entirely true. The Soviets need, among\nother things, farm machniery. Canada makes good farm machinery and\nthere is nothing in the world to prevent the Soviets buying it. But when\nthe price of buying it is to throw\nCanadian labor into direct competition with prison and peasant labor\nthe Bennett Government says the\ncost is too high,\nThere was also the suggestion\nthrown out with the soviet offer that\nRussia\u00E2\u0080\u0094if the propostiion was accepted by Canada\u00E2\u0080\u0094would ogree to a\nconference on wheat marketing.\nThere is nothing In the history of\nsoviet statesmanship to give confidence to her undertakings. A conference, of course, means nothing. Any\nagreement arising out of one would\nbe observed just so long as it suited\nthe interests of communism to continue it. And any agreement would\nmost undoubtedly be the beginning\nof a web of other economic encroachments upon Canada.\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 * *\nThe present session of Parliament\nsets one precedent inasmuch as for\nthe first time in history the ceremonies were carried out by a native-born\nCanadian. It was to Rt. Hon. Lyman\nP. Duff of the Supreme Court of\nCanada, as acting Administrator of\nthe Government, that the distinction\nof opening parliament fell in the ab-\nsence of a Governor-General. It has\nquite frequently happened that sessions have been prorogued by Chief\nJustices of the Supreme Court but it\nhas never bcen called into session\nexcept by a Governor-General. On\nthe present occasion Chief Justice\nAnglin is in the South on sick leave\nand Mr. Justice Duff replaced him.\nFriends of Mr. and Mrs. Harold\nEvoy Murray will be interested to\nlearn of thc birth of a son on February 26th. Mr. Murray will be remembered here by many as he was\nfor some time on the teaching staff\nof the Cumberland Public School.\nMrs. Murray, before her marriage\nwas Miss Jean Redding and was on\nthe teaching staff at thc Union Bay\nschool.\nSay Research\nWould Bring\nDevelopment\nLadysmith Board of Trade SmIu\nCommercial Method* to Recover Byproduct! of the\nNatural Resources\nInitiative ia being taken by the Ladysmith Board of Trade to bring before the Government the advisability\nof creating an industrial research\nbureau. A committee headed by Rev.\nMontague Bruce, past president of\nthe Associated Boards of Trade of\nVancouver Island, and Herbert Carmichael will approach the Government with constructive suggestions.\nDecision to wait on the Government followed an outstanding address delivered by Mr. Carmichael at\nthe annual gathering of the board.\nWith the prospect of the coal industry one that offered but little encouragement, members not only of\nthe Ladysmith organization, but representing officials of the Associated\nBoards, the Nanaimo Board of Trade\nand the community of Cassidy were\nencouraged to a high pitch of enthusiasm by the vision unfolded by\nMr. Carmichael, former provincial\nmineralogist, of industrial possibilities of British Columbia.\nRich Resources\nThe speaker declared that despite\nthe decline, in recent years, of the\nsustaining coal industry of the East\nCoast centres, thc localities were surrounded by rich resources. This was\ntrue of the whole of British Columbia. In illustration he pictured the\npossibilities of the Douglas fir as a\nsingle item of potential industrial\ndevelopment.\nFrom the bark of the Douglas Hr,\nhe said, could be produced tannin,\nof much higher virtue in the tanning\nindustry than the product obtained\nfrom Hemlock in Eastern Canada,\nand almost equal to the tannic acid\nproduced from oak bark. From the\nrind of the fir he went on, would be\nextracted vanillin, a substance used\nin the production of flavorings.\nDr. MacNaughton\nAnd Ferry Service\nAlio Tolls Hovse That the New Tax\nImpost Was Most Reasonable\nand Fair\nMrs. F. Dallos, of Powell River, is\nvisiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. F.\nWilcock, First Street.\nDr. G. K. MacNaughton ( Conservative), Comox, praised the Government Wednesday for cutting down\noverhead expenditure under present-\nday conditions. This was a course, he\nsaid that any good business man\nwould take. The Minister of Finance,\nif he had followed some of his Liberal\npredecessors hight have staved off\nthe evil day by borrowing, but with\ncourage and foresight, Hon. J. W;\nJones had refused to take that course\nand had met the issue squarely and\nhonestly. This couse, he continued,\nwould rebound to the credit of the\nGovernment and had already won the\nrecognition of financial leaders in regard to the confidence in British Columbia and its affairs.\nNo practical alternative to the new\nincome tax had been raised by any\nspeakers of the opposition, continued\nDr. MacNaughton, and the impost\nwas the most reasonable and fair one\nthat could have been devised under\nall the circumstances. Land was already bearing all the taxation it\ncould carry, and some municipal\nareas were facing difficulty with assessments far above the market value of the property, he continued.\nMany people in the province weie\nearning good incomes, and were not\ncontributing to the cost of public\nservices, stated Dr. MacNaughton.\nThe new tax would fall equally on\nthose with large incomes, who would\nnow pay more. At what period of the\nprovince's history would an increase\nin taxation to meet unusual conditions have been more justified, he\nasked. No taxation was popular, but\nthe new tax was a just one, he added.\nProposes Comox Ferry\nDr. MacNaughton spoke in favor\nof action by the Government to bring\nabout a ferry service between Comox\nand Powell River, which, he said,\nwould be of great and increasing\nbenefit to the farmers and businesses\nof the Island area. He favored, too,\ncontinuance of grants to country\nfairs, as a form of encouragement\nthat had practical results.\nSome of the cuts made in the Department of Mines and Agriculture\nappeared too low, he said, and danger\nfrom too great use of the pruning\nknife might lead to thc sacrifice of\nuseful, needed services. He praised\nprovision continued this year for a\nchair of home economics at the University of British Columbia, and endorsed the plan of bursaries at that\ninstitution.\nGovernments, Dr. MacNaughton\nBaid in conclusion, were not measured\nby the amount of the public debt, but\nby results, and the Tolmie Government had .given excellent value for\nevery dollar expended.\nShort Session\nOf City Council\nFollowing Regular Meeting Council\nWent Into Committee\nThe regular meeting of the City\nCouncil held in the Council Chambers on Monday night was presided\nover by His Worship, Mayor Maxwell, with Aldermen J. Ledingham,\nJ, Williams, W. Henderson and W.\nP. Symons present. There was very\nlittle* business on the agenda and\nafter the minutes of the previous\nmeeting had been read and adopted,\na communication was read from Mr.\nBaird, inspector of municipalities,\nwith reference to the registering of\nbylaws in conformity with the set\nprocedure and also with reference to\nthe borrowing powers of the city.\nThin communication was ordered to\nbe laid on the table and come up later\nfor discussion.\nBills and accounts to the amount\nof ?184.20 were referred to the finance committee and if found correct ordered to be paid.\nIn tbe reports of committees it\nwas found that all departments were\nworking satisfactorily.

He also informed the representatives that in the\nevent of anything coming up which\nwas for publication, he would lose no\ntime in letting (he. press know.\nThe representatives of the press\nretired and nfter the committee\nmeeting of the council, were informed that a special meeting of the council would be held the following day\nat 1:45 p.m.\nFuneral Service\nHeld forOld Timer\nCumberland, March 9.\u00E2\u0080\u0094The funeral\nservices for the late Mrs. Marguerite\nDucca, wife of Joseph Ducca, were held\nat the Roman Catholic church with Interment taking place in the family\nplot at the Roman Catholic cemetery\non Sunday.

PAGE TWO\nCUMBERLAND ISLANDER, CUMBERLAND, B. C.\nFRIDAY MARCH 13th, 1931.\nThe Cumberland Islander\nPUBLISHED EVERY FRIDAY AT CUMBERLAND, BC\nEDWARD W. BICKLE\nTHE TOURISTS WILL SOON BE HERE\nALMOST before we know it the advance guard\nof the 1931 army of tourists will be passing\nclose to our doors. At least far too many of\nthem will pass unless we wake up to the fact that\nthese tourists should be cultivated and taught to\nenter our doors rather than to pass them.\nThe average tourist requires so many dollars a\nday for each day he is on tour. He must have gas,\noil. food, and sleeping accommodations. Someone\nwill be called upon to furnish them. In other years\nwe have not received our sharp of this tourist\ntrade and of this money.\nIt would be a very conservative estimate to say\nthat twenty tourists drive close by our town each\nday. Twenty tourists a day for say 150 days\nmeans a total of 3,000 tourists. If our town ,our\nstore windows, our streets, our hotels, and everything about us, could be made so attractive that\neach of these tourists would find it a pleasure to\nspend one dollar with us, it would mean quite a\ntidy little sum to our business men and woman.\nTourists cover so much territory that they can\nsize up a town almost instantly. If we can make\nours a little better and let vast army of touris ts\nknow just what we have to offer, the tourists\nthemselves will see to it that we get a fair share\nof their trade and our full share of publicity when\nthey return to their homes.\nBut what have we to offer? some will ask. We\nhave everything the other chap has to offer. Lake\nCumberland will easily keep a tourist happy for a\nfew days at least. Fishing, boating, swimming,\nmountain climbing and a veritable paradise for\nthe photographer in thc mountains and valleys\nclose to our lake. We have a city park most favorably situated at the lake where, with a little clearing, plenty of room can be found for the tourist\nto pitch his tent. Our Board of Trade should see to\nit that the beauties of this district should be\nbroadcast wthout delay. The middle of the summer will be too late. Let's do it now!\nFINDING OUT FIHST\nPRESUMABLY we have had business governments in\nthis province. Yet the Bureau of Provincial Information tells us that the first real attempt at a soil\nsurvey was recently undertaken by Mr. C. C. Kelley of\ntlie Department of Agriculture on a tract of land near\nOyster River in the Courtenay District.\nIt took him six weeks to make 300 borings and\ndetermine that of this 10,000 acres of logged-off land,\nover -1,000 is first class agricultural land; 8,000 is No. 2\nland and only 220 acres is valueless for farming. Swamps\naccount for the balance.\nThis area has been under option hy tbe Canada Colonization Company, an offshoot of the C.P.R. for settlement\npurposes. The C.P.R. is in business and before it buys\nwants to know what it is buying.\nWhal a difference it would have made had all H.C.\nsettlement of late years been similarly directed. Even\nthis district is not exempt, for the late John Oliver, when\nvisiting one section, commented that it never should\nhave beeu cleared for farming. The hest crop it would\nnever grow, in his opinion, wus forest trees.\nMr. Kelly says that \"buying land for effective farming\nis impossible under the checkerboard system, since land\nmust be bought for its suitability for cultivation, p&sture\noi- any other purpose, und the shape of the farm will vary\naccording to the run of the soil.\nThe Bureau ndds that \"if thc system is carried out in\npractice it uny revolutionize pioneer farming in B.C.\"\nIt is a thousand pities that this elementary fact was not\nsooner discovered by successive agricultural administrations. \u00E2\u0080\u0094-Cowichan Leader.\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0Some men never got old enough to know belier.\n* * *\nFortune never smiles on a man because he is a\njoke.\nTlu\nare.\ncloser a man is the more distant his friends\nMen who don't pay as they go have a hard time\ncoming back.\n* * *\nYou are where you are in life because you are\nwhat you are.\n* * St\nYou don't have to figure depreciation on mental\nequipment.\netbacks\nward,\nproperly handled, help us to go for-\nc iltlt 5byfce\nOF TIIE\n(Satiabtau Ufaihral Asaoriatintt\nGRANT FLEMING. M.D.\nASSOCIATE SECRETARY\nQuestions concerning health, addressed to the Canadian Medical Association, 184 College St.,\nToronto, will be answered per-\nTHE HEART\nThe heart is one of the vital organs\nof the body which continues to work\nwhen we art- asleep just as it does\nwhen we are awake.\nThe heart is a muscle organ. When\nit contracts, it acts as a pump circulating the blood to all parts of the\nbody. Every part of the body needs\nblood, because it Is from the blood\nthat the cells of the body select the\nnourishment they need, and it is into\nthe blood that the cells discharge\ntheir waste products.\nA good circulation is necessary if\nthe tissues of tho body ure to be\nhealthy. A good circulation cannot\nbe maintained unless the heart is in\nproper working order. In other words\nthe general health of the body requires a sound heart.\nThe heart, like most organs of the\nbody, is capable of doing more than\nis usually demanded of it. That is\nwhy it is able for a time to do extra\nwork when it is called upon to do so\nby sudden severe physical effort. It\nis not advisable, however, to overstrain any part of the body because\nsuch strain may he too great or too\nprolonged, and permanent harm Tiiay\nresult.\nBecause of its reserve power, a\ndamaged heart may serve a person\nvery well, providing care is taken -not\nto throw nny extra strain on the\norgan.\nThose who have weakened or damaged hearts can live long and useful\nlives if they avoid such efforts as\nheavy lifting which throws a sudden\nor extra load on the heart. They must\navoid doing anything which causes\nshortness of breath, and they should\nlearn to stop and rest immediately if\nthey experience shortness of breath\nor pain. They must realize their limitations, and not try to do more than\nthey are able.\nInfection in any form h frequently responsible for heart disease. Infected teeth, tonsils or head sinuses\nmay be foci from which poisons and\ngerms are given off, causing damage\nto the heart.\nThe prevention of heart disease\nbegins with attention to general\nhealth through proper fond, fresh air\nrest and play. Any focus of infection,\nsuch as diseased teeth or tonsils,\nshould he removed before there is a\nchance of its causing damage to the\nheart.\nThe heart is often damaged as the\nresult of acute rheumatism, which is\nan infection. Growing pains and\nchorea, or St. Vitus' Dance, arc evidence of rheumatism in children, and\nthey should be treated as serious conditions in order that the heart may\nbe protected.\ngreat deal of it requiring much mure\nskill at handicraf:s than ii; possessed\nby most persons with an ordinary\nschou! education.\nThat in not all these children learn.\nThc threeR's are not neglected. Dut\nsuch teaching is linked with manual\ntraining. For instance, a boy may not\nbe ordinarily interested in how many\ninches there are in a foot-and-a-half,\nBut if he needs a piece of board of\nthat then thc matter becomes for\nhim a practical one.\nThese special classes rarely are\ntroubled with truancy\u00E2\u0080\u0094the children\nfind them much too interesting. And,\nwhat is more, they are playing a big\npart in making happy and useful citizens out of what might otherwise lie\nwaste human material,\nTHERE ARE NO TRUANTS\nIN THIS SORT OP CLASS\nChildren Who Are Backward Now\nHave Equal Chance With\nQuicker Brothers and\nSister*\nVancouver Island's\nHerring Runs Big\nProbably Largest in Ten Years on\nNorthern Part of West\nCoast\nsei-.son was extended until the end\nof February.\nWhile the fish were exceptionally\nabundant, they turned out to be very\nlow in oil content so that the oil production was small as compared with\nthe quantity of herring landed hy the\nfishermen. On the other hand, however, the meal produced was of \"very\nfine quality.\"\nFarther north in the province, in\nthe Prince Rupert area, there have\nalso heen some large catches of herring. One haul made by a purse seine\nboat, for instance, brought in approximately'125 tons of fish, and some\nof them had to be freed because it\nwas impossible to handle them. Use\nof herring for reduction purposes has\nbeen permitted in Lhis part of the\nprovince for some years.\nMOVIETONE -NEWS\nAT THE ILO-ILO\nCommencing March the 16th\nRunning craze hits gay Paree:\nFrench Capital has biggest cross\ncountry race on record with an army\nof 1,800 competing.\nFritish soldieis a hunting go: Following the \"drag\" with Royal Military Aindmey hounds at Woolwich is\nhigh spoil event.\nAustralia builds a bilge dam:\nHume structure, Albany, is the largest of its kind constructed*by engineers of tbe Antipodes.\nCalifornia greets relativity wizard:\nV of.

B. Allan Cup district final on\nthe Central Sports grounds at Nanaimo un Sunday between Cumberland\nand Nanaimo Southend, proved very\ndisappointing from a football point of\nview, says the Nanaimo Herald, as neither team displayed any good football\nthioughout the entire game, with the\nexception of the Southend half-back\nline, especially Broderick and Bevis,\nwho both played a sterling game,\nWhile neither forward line was any-\nthlng like what a forward Une should\nbe, Cumberland on one or two occasions did a little combination work,\nbut Southend forwards showed no cohesion whatever and thereby nullified\nthe good work of their half-backs, who\ngave them fine place passes time after\ntime only to see them wasted-\nCumberland had the better of the\nplay for the flrst ten minutes after\nwhich Southend took their share and\nhalf-time came without a score. Williams in goal for the locals made a\nbrilliant save from the first time shot\nby Gibson, Cumberland's inside right,\nthe only outstanding event in the Initial period.\nThe sscond half was a repetition of\nthe flrst with the visitors having the\nbatter of the exchanges, and Gibson\nopened the scoring for Cumberland after ten minutes of play, the same player converting a penalty six minutes\nfrom the end on a foul by Ostle. Paul\nmissed i glorious chance to score for\n.Southend just before time when he\nskied a ball over the bar when close\nin to the goal-mouth, the final whistle\nblowing to find Cumberland the winners by 2 to 0.\nCalifornia Visitors\nHonored Before\nReturning South\nCumberland, March 9.\u00E2\u0080\u0094Mr. and Mrs.\nH.
