Alice Arm Holds Weekly Debate The weekly debate of the Alice Arm Debating Sooiety was held in the Coliseum, on Tuesday evening, when a. reoordnumber of persons attended. r' -> A short business meeting was held previous to the debate, and at it's oonclusion the debate was proceeded with. The subjeot for the evening was: "Resolved that the people of the world are getting worse, mentally, morally and 'physically." Those speaking for the affirmative were: Miss Nettie Hogburg, J. Anderson, C. P. Riel. Negative speakers Were: Miss Zorka Sutilovioh, M. Petersen A. D. Yorke. Miss Sutilovioh opened the debate. She said: The world is up-side-down. It has been fermenting for 2,500 years but is now settling down and will be better. People are.now more intellectual than they ever were, and a people of intelligence are a people of good morals. Miss Hogburg, who was the first speaker for the affirmative side, said in the course of her remarks, that the ancients knew a lot of things that the moderns did not know. People in years gone by were physioally superior to people of today. No dope fiends and divorces in the days of our grand-parents. M. Petersen said: everything is improving, sanitation is better. The ancients did not possess the mentality to build railroads, machinery, etc Surgery is improving in a wonderful manner. He then took the audience on a round-the-world trip of 200 years ago, in order to show the great improvements wrought since that time. J. Anderson in order to show that the people are not improving said. If a man is not right morally, he is below the standard mentally and physically. The morality of the people is very low. The number of divorces are a scandal, and so is the low birthrate. A. D. Yorke, whose fifteen minutes were gone before he got fairly started said: our knowledge of hygiue is greater, infant mortality is smaller. Modern people understand how to utilize the proper foods. Strict inspection of all foods are made, and physical endurance is as good as in days gone by, as explorers have proved. C. P. Riel who was the last speaker for the affirmative, said: The big families of olden days are gone, and so are the rugged men and women, Our mode of living is all wrong. Doctors were not needed in days gone by, but we are now a nation of invalids. Our mentality is not improving, Anyox Skating Rink The work, of making a skating at Anyox; by , the .Community League, is well under way. The rink is located on the -flats; near the children's playground, and measures 70ft. by 120ft., which will provide a sheet of ice giving lots of room for e'veryone. The rink is ideally situated, being close to the'centre of the most thiokly populated part of the town. The rink is just about ready for the skating fraternity to get out and stretch a leg, and with a continuation of the present cold weather a large number of people- will undoubtedly avail themselves of the opportunity to indulge in the king of winter sports during the coming week. Skating has already commenced on the rink at the mine, and it 1b now up to the hookey players of the town to, draw up a programme of hockey games for the coming season. Man Killed and 4 Injured at Premier Mine Coroner J. Conway and Dr. P. Whelaiij of Anyox, made a hurried trip to Stewart, during the week, in connection with an accident, which took place at the Premier mine, when Carl Booy, an Austrian lost his life, and four others severely injured, when several boxes of powder exploded in the underground workings. Coroner J. Conway, held an investigation, but no light could be thrown on the subject, as th» only person near the powder was killed outright, and so severe was the explosion that no part of the body could be found. _, On the return journey from the Premier mine the sleigh Containing J. Conway and Dr. Whelan, did a little hurdling on- the side hill, throwing the Doctor out and giving him a lone slide down the hill. He climbed back up none the worse for his experience. or' why are our insane asylums overflowing. The late war also proved that our mentality has' not improved. Miss Sutilovioh followed with a rebuttal of five minutes, in which she extensively criticized the remarks of her opponents, and thus ended a very interesting debate. On the vote being taken those speaking for the affirmative were declared the winners, the vote being; worse 27, better 23. The subject was an excellent one for debating purposes. A large crowd was present, and the speakers were in good form. Nearly all the speakers spoke for the full fifteen minutes allowed, and several were disappointed when time was oalled on them by the Chairman. Weekly Meeting of Anyox Community League Council The regular weekly meeting of the Community League Council was held in the Reoreation Hall on Wednesday evening, December 6th. Present: President Furguson, Sec- Treas. Lowry, Councillors Mrs. MoKay, Messrs. Rowley, Seidelman, Noel and Sherman. On the reading of the minutes of the preceding meeting it was moved by Mr. Rowley and seconded by Mr. Sherman that they be adopted as read. This w carried. • \\ / The Seoretary reported as follows: That Mr. Harper, a qualified teacher of piano, violin and voice, had'arrived in Anyox on Thursday last and had met the committee, the same morning, and that the chances of Mr, Harper located in Anyox are good, and he would probably return after the first of the year; The proposal of the Finance Committee had been forwarded unofficially to the Mine Club, pending action by the Counoil, In the meantime a proposed amendment to Paragraph four of the Finance Committee's proposal to the Mine Club had been received. The Cribbage Tournament had started in the Rest Room on Monday evening and would be continued on Monday evening, next. The preliminary work for the rink at the Flats way. The members of the Finance Committee with the Chairman of the. Reoreation were to meet on Thursday evening and disouss the gymnasium and. it's equipment. . Mr. Rowley reported ~ arrange merit for flooding the surface of the ground at the Flats for the rink. A man has been detailed to commence the work on Wednesday night. Mr. Seidelman stated that he had'made enquiries in conneotion with the basket-ball jerseys used last season and had been told that they were all left in the property room at Recreation Hall. He also told of trouble: collecting the several base-ball uniforms whioh were still -out. Mrs. McKay, in talking about the music teacher said that she hoped he would make up his mind to return! and take up teaching, as everybody was very much impressed with Mr. Harper and his abilities. A letter was read from H. Bromley Coleman, of Vancouver, stating that he represented a oonoert troupe of five, .and wanted, to know what guarantee the League would offer for, a performance of his company in Anyox. The Council deoided. that no guarantee be made, and if Mr. Coleman decided to visit Anyox, the League would do business with him, on a fifty-fifty basis. A letter was read from the Mine Club, asking that clause four be amended, so as to give the Mine Continued on page 3. Alice Arm Skating Rink The Alice Arm Skating Rink, will, in a day or two, be again ready for the knights of the silvery flashing blades. A large amount of work has been done by a number of enthusiasts during the week, and to whom great credit is due for their public spiritedness. The dressing room roof has been repaired, and new stove pipe installed. The pipe line has been covered and a good pressure of Water is.now being obtained. Day and night shifts have been flooding the rink during the past few days, which owing to the porous nature of the ground, was no easy job, as a lptof water was soaked up in the gravel. A sheet of ice, however, now covers the entire rink, and it is only a matter of putting on more water to build up the ice, If'the present cold weather continues for a few more days, skating will again be in full swing. Fire at Alice Arm The cabin of B. Jones was the soene of a small fire, on Sunday, evening. The alarm Was given by Gus. Anderson, who noticed smoke issuing from.the roof.. A large number of persons were quickly on the scene, and the "bucket brigade" quickly extinguished the fire before any great damage had been done. Mr. Jones had left the oabin a short time previously, and had left a lighted candle near the bed, and it is thought that the candle drop- ped on to the bed. Damage was done to the bed clothes and other articles and a hole burned in the roof. Logging Camp Moves The Trethewey logging camp, which was on a scow aoross the bay from Alice Arm, broke loose from her moorings, on Monday morning, when a stiff breeze was blowing, and started joy riding down the inlet towards Anyox.

Contract Bates on Application. B. MOSS, Editor and Publisher. The Canadian Dollar. The {act that the Canadian dollar is a fraction above par in the United States, is a source of great satisfaction to all Canadians, Several causes are to be found for the 3uick recovery of the Canadian ollar, from a discount of 17 cents on the dollar to the present happy stage. Canada was the first country at war that at the close of hostilities, settled down to real hard work, and the energy of the people, coupled with the absence of big labor troubles, very quickly produced results. Several other causes also contributed towards bringing the dollar back to par, chief of which was the bountiful crops of all kinds produced throughout the Dominion this year; also the large number of American tourists, who, it is estimated spent $100,000,000 in this country during the last year. What American money has came into the country via the bootlegger route no one knows, but it has been enormous, and has added materially to the wealth of the country. The big mines of northern Ontario and B. C. have also helped to bring the dollar back to par. The future of Canada is brighter than any country in the world, and with good sound common-sense government the population of Canada should nearly double itself before the census of 1931 are taken. Home Work. The recent school convention at Penticton touched on one particular subject which is about due for much practical consideration, and which should not be allowed to lapse, says a writer in an exchange. Continuing he says, the proportion of school work given to pupils to handle at home is out of all reason, and the only persons who seem to be ignorant on that point are the teachers themselves. In the course of my travels I hear a great many different opinions expressed on all sorts of subjects, but I have always found a striking unanimity amongst parents on the iniquity of excessive home work for their children. To what extent they voice their sentiments in the right quarters I am not able to say probably they accept the situation under silent protest, as it were. But it should be represented to the teaching fraternity that the proper place for learning lessons is primarily the school—and not at home, and that some consideration should be shown in the adjustment of studies—Grand Forks Gazette. The logging operations now being carried on at Alice Arm, will prove a boom to the camp during the coming winter, and very probably for a number of years to come. But let us not lose sight of the fact that Alice Arm is primarily a mining camp, and will be a mining camp long after the last log is made into paper. -,• It is for everyone to work for the mining interests of the camp all the time. The logging operations are a nice little side line, and will benefit everyone more or less, but the timber wealth of the district is but a drop in the ocean compared with the mineral wealth.

Under the head of unfinshed I business, and because of his notice I of motion from the preceding meeting, Mr. Lowry moved that the proposal as outlined by the I Finance Committee of the League I in connection with recreation, etc, at the mine be forwarded to the Mine Club officially. In connection with the unofficial ' suggestion of the Mine Club Committee, Mr. Rowley moved and Mr. Noel seconded that it be filed for the time being. This was carried. There was some discussion regarding a gallery for the gymnasium, It was thought that if some seating arrangement could be carried out, especially at the rear end of the hall overlooking the floor, that it would cause considerable satisfaction as it would better enable spectators to see the differ ent contests. The Christmas entertainment was also discussed to some extent. Mr. Rowley suggested that the League accept the auspices of a proposed concert for the benefit of the Province Christmas Tree Fund. Mr. H. A. Berry is the promoter of this concert,1 and Mr. Rowley moved that the League get behind it. This was seconded • by Mr. Sherman and carried. Mr. Selfe reported that the new picture machine for the Mine Hall had been ordered and would arrive shortly. Highgrading in Northern Ontario Mines Highgrading on a large scale has been unearthed in northren Ontario mining circles of late, three distinct cases having been exposed and some thirteen men placed uuder arrest. In a oase some time ago, a culprit who admitted the theft of $1,500 worth of silver was sentenoed to thirty days in jail. More severe sentences, however, have reoently been handed out. According to information gathered by the various mining companies, a systematic robbing of the mines by tho men employed has been oarried out. In one case, one of the employees made it a practice to steal 33 pounds of precipitates every night' when on shift. These he hid away and a pal later transferred them to Toronto where they were melted down anoVthe spoils divided. Employees of the Dome were in the habit when high grade pockets were opened up, to slip chunks of this ore, running 50 per cent, pure gold into their pockets. This was sent to a pal at North Bay who disposed of it at Montreal. At the Mclntyre mine they were pouring gold and shortly after the moulds had been filled and long before the bricks were cold, a gold brick disappeared. A third of the briok was eventually found buried near Porcupine.

N§ee Al Falconer for Wood or Coal So far, we are experiencing an ""unusual winter. No snow has yet fallen in the district, the ground being as bare as in the month of July. Such a thing has never been known to happen since the white man came up the inlet. The power saws are busy in the woods these days, ohewing up the big logs into stove wood lengths. The themometer is creeping down to the zero mark, but who cares how cold it is when a nice sheet of ice is forming on the skating rink. Some good skating has been obtained across the Kitsault river during the week. Albert Ferris, an old-timer of the camp, having worked here in 1915, arrived in town and intends to stay the winter.
