Golf Trophies Presented At Annual Social Event A social function, long to be remembered in Anyox was the First Annual Card Party and Dance of the Anyox Golf Club, held in the Elks' Hall, on Friday, November 27th. There was a large gathering of golfers and their friends, and from beginning to end the evening was most enjoyable. So many were present that extra tables had to be brought in for the cards. Whist and bridge occupied the early part of the evening, the winners being for whist: ladies' first prize, Mrs. Jeffs; consolation prize, Mrs. Neil McLeod. Gentlemen's first prize, Mr. J. Vines; consola- i tion, Mr. H. Hallcrow. The ladies' first prize for bridge was won by Mrs. H. R. Taylor, and the consolation prize by Mrs. R. Cormier. For the gentlemen, Mr. W. R. Lindsay literally "pocketed" the first prize, while Mr. Thos. Sanderson got away with the booby prize. ,Durjug. the interval between cards and dancing, the various golf trophies won during the season were presented by Mr. W. R. | Lindsay, as follows: Ladies' Open Championship, carrying the Mrs. Charles Bocking Cup, was won for the second time by Mrs. L. H. Wenerstrom. The winner received a miniature cup for her own possession. Runner-up in the above championship, Mrs. C. 0. Fricker. This competition was noteworthy as being played over 36 holes. The first time the 36-hole route has been taken in a ladies' competition in Anyox. First Flight in Ladies' Open Event: Mrs. D. 'C. Roy. Runner- up, Mrs. D. T. Evans.

Excellent music for the dancing Canadian Legion Hold Annual Meeting . The members of the Anyox Branch of the Canadian Legion held their Annual Meeting and election of officers on Thursday, November 26th. in the Club Room. A large number of members were present.

Mine Branch Community League Hold Party On Thursday, November 26, the Mine Branch of the Anyox Community League held a Card Party at the Mine hall. A good number turned out and a very enjoyable evening was spent. Prize winners were: Whist, Ladies' First Prize, Mrs. A. Hellman; Men's First Prize, Mr. C. McMillan. For Bridge, Mrs. C. Eklof secured the first prize, and Mr. A. Pynn was top scorer for gentlemen. The cards were followed by an informal dance, refreshments being served in the interval. Children Remembered This Christmas With Parties How many parties can a youngster absorb without getting tired of them. This Christmas at Anyox will surely be a test of their capacity, but we venture the opinion that every child will bob up after each party as fresh as ever, and be looking round for the next one. Here's the Christmas list arranged so far, and no doubt there will be others: December 18th. United Church Annual Christmas Tree and entertainment in. the Church Hall at the Beach. December 19th. United Church Christmas Tree and Party at the Mine. December 22nd. Community League Grand Annual Christmas Tree and entertainment at the Mine and the Beach. At the Mine, in the picture Hall; at the Beach in the Gymnasium. > These will be the biggest and most elaborate parties ever staged in Anyox. Everything the children could *wish, and then some. December 24th. Christmas Tree and Grand Party for the children at the Christ Church Hall. December 18th. Loyal Order of Moose Grand Annual Christmas Tree and distribution of gifts to children. The men of the Moose Lodge never undertake anything by halves, and this event is always a notable one for the Moose children of Anyox. Dance For Adults Following Mine Party Following the Community League Children's Party at the Mine on December 22nd. there will be a dance for grown-up folk, sponsored by the Community League. There will also be a dance at the Beach for the older children after the regular Community League celebration for the children on December 22nd. was provided by the Merrymakers' orchestra, and an appetizing supper was served. The Golf Club are to be congratulated on the splendid success of this, their first annual social event. Concert By Amateur Orchestra Enjoyed From a musical standpoint the concert given by the Anyox Amateur Orchestra on Sunday evening the 29th. was a distinct success, but it was not supported as it might have been. We are inclined to believe that it was not sufficiently advertised, and that many more people would have attended had they known' of the event earlier. However, its excellence will surely bespeak a larger attendance at the next effort. , Among the fine numbers presented was the colorful overture: Chevalier Breton, and the characteristic selection: "Echoes of the Volga." These were rendered with nice regard for expression and phrasing. The Russian Mazurka: "La Czar- ine," was well received, also the beautiful theme waltz of "Viennese Nights." A feature of the evening was the piano solo by Mr. C. Elgood "Rachmaninoff's Prelude in C, Sharp Minor. This stirring thougl solemn number was played with real artistic feeling and expression, and received well-earned appreciation. As an encore Mr. Elgood played Percy Grainger's "Country Gardens." In excellent contrast to the preceding item, this brilliant number was nicely interpreted, its many variations being distinctly marked. Elks Leading In Both Billiard Leagues Great interest is being taken in the Senior and Junior Billiard Leagues this season. In the Senior League, in which three, teams are competing, the Elks are so far on top with ten points, closely followed by the Orphans with six points while the Boiler Shop is in the basement with only two points. However, they are by no means dis- couraged. In the Junior League the Elks' again lead with eight points, with the Boiler Shop right on their heels with six points, and the Orphans just behind with four points. A new star in the Junior firmament is the Celts team, but so far they have been eclipsed by the Boiler Shop, who have hammered home some good wins, However, the Celts, with true Scottish stubbornness, are determined to make the next games tell a different story. Alice Arm Christmas Tree Will Be Held December 22 The annual Christmas tree and entertainment of the Alice Arm children promises to equal if not surpass those of previous years. Arrangements are proceeding satisfactorily, and the children will be given an evening of unalloyed happiness. The training of the children for the entertainment is being conducted by Mr. A. C Ironside, and it is rumored that a few surprises are in store for the audience in regard to the varied and elaborate programme. The affair will be held at T. W. Falconer's hall on Tuesday evening, December 22nd. No admission fee will be charged and everyone is cordially invited to attend. The evening will commence with the entertainment, at the termination of which Santa Claus is expected to pay the children a visit. When he has distributed his presents refreshments will be served. In addition to Mr. Ironside training the children, the ladies' committees have worked industriously to make the evening a success. To date the sum of $36.60 has been donated, which will be used in purchasing presents for the children, and refreshments. Copper Makes Slight Advance In Price Responding to new hopes of a world production curb with Belgian producers agreeing to American producers proposals, new life has come into the copper metal market. After it touched a new record low of 6^ cents a pound last week, the price of the metal at New York rose to 6j4 cents a pound on Saturday. The export price held at 7 cents a pound. Both lead and zinc held steady with firmness in copper. Lead was quoted at 3.85 cents a pound New York and 3.65 cents a pound East St. Louis. Zinc was 3.125 cents a pound at East St. Louis and 3.475 cents a pound New York. The Community League Christ mas Carnival and Dance will be held in the Gymnasium on Wednesday, December 23rd, instead of on Christmas Eve as previously published. Advertise in the Herald I. 0. D. E.

E. MOSS, Editor and Publisher. Numerous causes have been given for the present unprecedented world wide trade depression. Some of them are a shortage of gold, the abandonment of silver on a parity with gold, introduction of labor saving machinery, and the aftermath of the huge expenditure incurred in waging the late world war. It is possible that not one of the single causes listed above is responsible. Rather, it is a combination of all, but aggravated considerably by the introduction of labor saving machinery. Here is undoubtedly one of the chief causes of unemployment, and the worst phase is that as time goes on, and even faster and more automatic machinery is installed than at present, unemployment will continue to increase. Machinery was necessary for us to attain our present high form of civilization. It is necessary for us at the present time in order to maintain it. But there is a limit to labor saving machinery, and it appears that the limit is reached. Improved machinery is continually being installed. Every occupation is affected, from the pick and shovel man to the highest paid mechanic. We must adjust ourselves to these new conditions, or accept defeat, and force our civilization on the down grade. It is a big problem The steady increase of taxation in Canada is the cause of a lot of thoughtful study by those who are obliged to put their hand in their pocket and pay whatever is demanded or lose their property, which has probably been acquired after years of hard work. The big flaw in our taxation system is that when business is dull and unemployment rampant, taxes are increased. When business is good and money is plentiful, taxes are lower. It should be possible for the government in power when times are prosperous to create a surplus fund to be drawn on when trade depressions occur. The fault of every government in power when times are good is to spend everything, and let the government in power when hard times prevail do the worrying. Not so very long ago everyone was bewailing the high price of all commodities, especially foodstuffs. Now that we have low prices for everything, everyone seems perfectly willing for an increase in prices so that better times may prevail. The human race is hard to satisfy. Well, let's be cheerful. A casual study of explosives shows that the boom always follows the bust. Men In Relief Camps Greatly Reduced Tho combing out process instituted by the government in its unemployment camps has succeeded in eliminating more than half the men formerly maintained, it was stated officially at Victoria last week. Only about 5500 men out of 15.000 housed in the camps a few ago remain, the others have been sent back to their homes. It costs about $1 a day to maintain each man on the recently revised rations, so that the total cost of the camps probably tuns to about $150,000 a month. No road work is being done, but the men are spending their time improving the oamps. Officials state that the men are eager to work, even for their board. A further conference between federal and provincial officials will be held to arrange the terms under which men will be employed, if and when road work is resumed. The province wants to cut their former wages of $2 a day to about $7 a month, but federal officials object to this arrangement. An agreement between the two governments is expected shortly. Work At Churchill Is Closed (or Winter Winnipeg, Man., Nov. 28. The busiest year in the history of Churchill, Canada's new port on Hudson Bay, has ended. Construction forces, which have averaged 1500 men during the season, have been withdrawn and all works closed down. During the year the new elevator with a capacity of 2,500,000 bushels was completed and two trial shipments of grain to England were made successfully. Arrangements of the townsite under the Manitoba Government's town planning scheme was proceeded with and considerable improvement was made on the line of the Hudson Bay Railway between The Pas and Churchill. Cougar bounties in British Columbia will be cut from $30 to $20, effective shortly, it is announced. The population of the prairie provinces increased 392,537 during the ten year period between the 1921 and 1931 censuses to 2,348,- 619, census figures show. Balance of Trade in Favor Of Canada Ottawa—A favorable balance of trade amounting in value to $10,- 595,123 is noted forthe month of October, according to the current issue of the National Revenue Review. In that month Canada exported goods with a value of $56,- 533,999, and imported goods worth $45,940,874. For the same month last year the balatice in favor of this country totalled $5,939,581.

The former continued their bold raiding tactics and got away with a total score of 21, as against 10 by the representatives of the local emporium.
