The following account of the wedding is taken from the Vancouver Daily Province: Uniting two of Vancouver's prominent families the wedding solemnized on Tuesday evening, when Dorothea Reed (Dot.), daughter of Dr. and Mrs. James A. Gillespie, became the bride of Mr. Walter Thomas Patrick of Montreal, son of Mr. and Mrs. F. T. Patrick of this city. Autumn Flowers and leaves in all their gorgeous colorings were used in profusion to decorate Canadian Memorial Chapel, where the ceremony took plaCe. Tall standards of bronze shaded chrysanthemums interspersed with red and brown maple leaves stood on the chancel steps, while zinnias, gladioli and chrysanthemums in the same tones were entwined with greenery along the altar rail. Graceful palms- lent an air of stateliness to the scene. Rev. G. O. Fallis officiated while the wedding music was played by Mr. Welton, nnd during the signing of the register Mr. Harry Grant rendered a vocal solo. The groom waa supported by Mr. C. H. Corkum, and ushering the guests to their seats, which were marked off with gold chrysanthemums tied with gold ribbon, were Mr. Harry Alder, Mr. Gordon Gillespie, Mr. A1 lister Maclnnes and Mr. Max Ray. The bridal party made a charming picture ns they moved slowly up the aisle, the ushers being followed by two flower girls, little Miss Jacqueline Skinner and Miss Francos Patrick, after whom came the matron of honor, Mrs. J. W. MeCuteheon, and the four bridesmaids, Miss Aileen Hall, Miss Muriel Munro, Miss Marjory Shornoy and Miss Gladys Chlsholm.

This game will be looked forward to with n great deal of interest by the executive of the Eagles as the Southend team this year has entered senior company. It will be more in the nature of a test for the local Eagles and if a good showing can be made by the team chosen, prospects of senior soccer coming back to Cumberland will be greatly advanced. The players und reserves will leave Cum- berlnad at 9 o'clock Sunday morning, thc game being scheduled for 2 o'clock on the Central Sports ground.

They wore similar French felt hats to match trimmed with brown velvet ribbon, while then- gloves matched their frocks and thei:- shoes were of brown. All five attendants wore earrings and necklaces to harmonize with their costumes, and they carried bouquets of gold and hronze chrysanthemums. We have been requested on several occasions to ascertain the amount of money spent on the float at Lake Cumberland. Consequently we got in touch with the member of the district, Mr. A. W. Neill who obtained the following figures from the department: 1. Sum allocated for this work in 11)29: $2,000.00. 2. Amount actually spent in 1929 $1,595.0-1 (Could not complete as pile driver not available). 3. Name of foreman and rate of pav: Alexander Maxwell, $6.75 per day. 4.

Registration Of Unemployed During the past week over 100 unemployed registered at the office of the Islander and nearly all are residents of Cumberland alone, That some measure of relief work will have to be undertaken hy the govern- en in this district is apparent to the casual observer. But had the powers that he heard some of the unemployed stating their case to the Islander scribe, relief work would not be delayed one more week. Without trying to pry into the affairs of some of the unemployed registering, we soon discovered that some families are in actual want, and before many days nre passed something will have to be done. It is not right and proper that wc should go about shouting about dull times, but we cannot close our eyes to the fact thnt in this little burg there is a great deal of unemployment—over one hundred in a city that only comprises about 40 acres. In conversation with one man we learned thnt he had not worked very steady, he hnd four children and a wife depending on him and would be very grateful if we could let him know as early us possible when this road work was going to start up. Ho was not pleading for something for nothing, all he wanted was u chance to go to work. There ore others like him. Another man who came in all the way from some place near Courtenay said he had had a very pool- summer, he had a wife and three children to support and whilst not putting up a hurd luck story we gleaned from him thut his supplies at home in the wny of foodstuffs was very low. In fact the fnmily only had enough flour to make one more hatch of bread. With emphasis this man said, "I do not want to go to the store and ask for credit, and if this road work will only start up soon I shall bo all right.' That the government will do something pretty soon in providing work on the roads is un established fact, hut governments move slowly and in the meantime the plight of some of our follow citizens is becoming serious, The Cumberland and Courtenay hoards of trade arc doing their utmost to get the government to speed up the work and Dr. MacNaughton, local member in the Provincial House is closely in touch with conditions The annual whist drive and dance of the Cumberland Centre, St. John Ambulance Association held in the Ilo-Ilo Halt on Friday night attracted a large number of people. Thirty- two tables of whist were in play und many more came in for the dance later in the evening. Winners at cards were announced as ladies' tirst Miss C. Carey, second Mrs. Maxwell. Gent's first Mr. Tom Hrown, second Mr. J. S. Brown. Immediately following the cards, refreshments were served and after all had been satisfied the president of the Centre, Mr. Arthur Watson welcomed all there thnt evening and briefly outlined the activities of the Cumberland centre during the season. He then culled upon Mr. T. R. Jackson, district inspector of mines and a strong supporter of St. John Ambulance wor!:. He congratulated the local officials on having had such a successful sea son and also congratulated the students on the very good work accomplished. Seventy-four students presented themselves for examination, seventy-one gaining passes, which, said Mr. Jackson, was a record to be proud of. He then presented the certificates to the successful candidates and prizes to those candidates gaining the highest marks. Mr. Jackson also presented handsome and well fitted dressing eases to Dr. G. K. MacNaughton and Dr. E. R, Hicks and to Mr. A. J. Taylor a Remington portable typewriter for their faithful services as examiners and'instructors Special tokens were also presented to Messrs. H. Waterfield and J, S. Brown for their services as assistant instructors. Full list of successful candidates was: First year men: William Jackson, James Weir, Thomas Shields, John S. Williams, William Davies, Joseph Monks, Robert McGrath, Wilfrid Littler, Thomas Hobbs, Robert Brown. Robert Martin, Edward Edwards, Harry Waterfield, Jr..

Juior Girls: Edna May Watson, Margaret Westfield, Christine Rob- j ertson, May Beveridge, Barbara Martin, Elizabeth Brown, Lilian Picketti, Doreen Bickerton, Jessie] Harvie nnd Dorothy Hunt. Junior boys: William MncNaugh- ton and Jack Marpole. Drs. MacNaughton and Hicks and Mr. A. J. Taylor on being called upon for a speech alt declared they ha'l enjoyed doing what they had done but felt that the beautiful gifts presented had not been earned. It hud heen u source of great gratification to him, said Mr. Taylor, ta see so many students enrolled during the season, the number far surpassing nny previous year and he felt safe in saying that the number enrolled eon-, stituted a record for Vancouver Is-i land. Mr. T .R. Jackson told the audi- j ence thot thc department he was cun- nected with was very much interest-j ed in first aid work and sonic years j ago a cup had been presented for the intermediate division, which during the past year or two had not been competed for. Along with other of ficials he was endeavoring to have this cup put up for an open competition, probably in snme other division tban the intermediate one. He had very great hopes that their efforts would be successful. Following the speech making, dancing was indulged in to music supplied by the Merry Makers' orchestra composed of Mrs. W. Hudson, piano, Sam L. Robertson, violin, Jock Hill, trombone, S. Thomson, snxaphone, and R. T. Brown, drums. and doing all in his power to assist, Wo confidently look forward to <t mart being made shortly. Exploitation Of Consumer Means Removal Of Concessions Ottawa, September 30. (Special to , the Islander).—Whatever political l viewpoint one may hold the fact re- ' mains that political history was mado ; in Canada within less than two : months. | On July 28th the Conservative '■ party was returned to power. On j August 7th Mr. Bennett took office I as Prime Minister and by September 22nd Parliament had been con- ■ vened and prorogued aftor putting | through the most radical tariff re- f vision since Sir John A. MacDonald I brought down his "National Policy" | 51 years ago. Not only were upwards of 130 items affecting Canadian key industries dealt with; the whole basis of valuation for customs purposes was revised along lines which, if deemed expedient, permit the Government to control imports to an unprecedented degree. The other business of the session was the voting of $20,000,000 to be used for public works and other purposes to provide immediate and emergent relief for unemployment throughout Canada. Under ordinary circumstances the tariff legislation put through would have kept parliament in session several months. In view, however, of the character of tho session and of Premier Bennett's determination not to leave for the economic and constitutional conferences of the Empire in London until Parliament was prorogued thc opposition accepted Mr. Bennett's promise that adequate opportunity would be given next session for discussion of the individual items. Hence less than five days of debate sufficed to get the measure through. Such revisions as were made effective are expected to provide immediate employment in Canada for between 30,000 nnd 50,000 people and the latter figure is held to be moderate by Conservative Ministers. Mr. Bennett lold the House that he proposes at the next session to bring down a complete revision of the tariff, a task which will be almost ten times as large as thnt which he presented this year. Jn the revision which went through practically every change was upwards. That trend will probably hold through the general revision, though a great many items—where- he does not believe goods can be economically manufactured in Canada—present duties will be lowered or removed. Machinery has been set in motion to keep a very careful check both upon unemployment in Canada and! upon prices charged consumers fori products affected by tariff changes J just made. Mr, Bennett's most Important announcement to Partfan ment was the pledge of industries affected that lho consumer would not be taken advantage of by higher duties. In fact many manufacturers promises that ncreased production would mean not only more work, but would reduce the overhead on goods and permit of reduced selling prices. To this announcement Mr. Bennett added his promises that any attempted exploitation of the consumer would be mot by removal of the concessions now extended. In the meantime interest hus shifted to London and lo the Economic conference. Until there is definite knowledge of tho Macdonald Government's plans to promote inter-Empire trade, everything is surmise. Insofar as Canada is concerned the absolute necessity is some basis of marketing favor for Canadian wheal and other agricultural products, Ci ■ on that Mr. Bennett is likely to sus pond preferential treatment for British manufacturers in Canada. While the British Government of the day has ventured no concessions to food taxes or preferences thero is a steadily growing feeling tbat— unless prompt and promising action is laken the conference now under way is likely to sound the defeat of the Macdonald Government within the next five months. The Conservative party in Britain has heen embracing gradually the principle of inter-Empire trade | through preferential tariffs and while this conference may be void of oc- culnr, or immediately tangible re- suits, il may well be of early and! lasting benefit to agricultural Can-! ada. LADIES' AUXILIARY OF CAN. LEGION IS FORMED. j At a recent well attended meeting 1 a ladies' auxiliary of the Cumberland branch of the Canadian Legion, British Empire Service League was formed with Mrs. J. Derbyshire, pre- ! sident, Mrs ('. Spooner, vice-president and .Mrs. Fraser Watson, secretary-treasurer.

Robertson was chosen as convenor uf the refreshment committee, Some discussion arose as to the method of conducting the club for the (timing season, it being felt thai the method adopted last year did not prove to be as successful as expected. Several suggestions were advanced by the members present at the meeting aud the executive have power to adopt any of the new Ideas advanced, The initiation fee this year will be 25c and all players must provide their own shuttles. Twenty-live cents will nlso he collected from all players of the club participating in inter-club or tournament games. Non-members of the Athletic Club wishing to join the badminton club will have to join the Athletic Club before being admitted as members of the badminton. The fee for joining the Athletic club is, we understand, $2.50, and as the membership in the badminton club has been limited to forty, all desirous of taking in Ihe popular indoor winter game will have lo gel in their application as early us possible, lt was decided at the meeting lhal applications for membership in the Whippets, be handed in to thu secretary, C.

PAGE TWO CUMBERLAND ISLANDER. CUMBERLAND, B. C FRIDAY, OCTOBER 3rd, 1080 The Cumberland Islander PUBLISHED EVERY FRIDAY AT CUMBERLAND, B.r EDWARD W. BICKLE HOY SCOUTS AS CRIMINALS A JUDGE of one of our large cities was suffering from a slight attack of rheumatism so that liis usual cheerful disposition was all awry, A tiny boy scout hurrying along on some errand. Clashed against the judge and brought his rheumatism to mind. The buy apologized but tiie judge was plainly annoyed. "Those boy scouts are everywhere", he said, turning to a friend. "They bump into me on the street, I see them along the country lanes, they carry tlags in parades, they're always trying to help me across the street when I happen to limp ;l bit—oh, 1 see them everywhere." "Did one ever appear before you in the juvenili court?" asked his friend. The judge did nol reply for a moment but he thought deeply. He then turned to the other with a smile. "Never in my whole career," he said. "Perhaps there is something to this scout movement alter all." It is interesting to note that rarely, it ever, dues a boy scout in good standing appear before a judge or magistrate as a culprit. This has become so noticeable that eminent jurists constantly mention it when addressing groups of adults who might be interested in the boy scout movement. Undoubtedly there is something to a movement which can touch one-seventh of Canada's boys and keep them from crime. AUK YOU LOOKING FOR HATE? IK YOU ARE, never allow anyone to make a statement without disagreeing with his remarks. II' he is ninety-nine per cent right, find the (law in the other one per cent and hold him up to ridicule. This will usually succeed in making you ths most detested man in town, if it fails, however, try featuring your pet topic at all times. If you are a golf fan, talk golf in the morning and al night to your wife, your doctor, your newsboy, vour pastor. Never mind religion politics, appendicitis or gall stones. Talk golf at all times, particularly emphasizing what you would have done on the tenth hole if something that happened had not happened. There are other methods lor acquiring the hatred of your fellow man. The editor will be pleased to explain these thoroughly upon request. M PITY THE I'OOR TEACHER ANY parents whose children have come home Irom school wth poor marks fail to appreciate how difficult it is for a teacher no matter how willing she may be. to give very high percentages in all eases. The Washington Post some time ago gave the following quotations from school examination papers in Baltimore, Maryland. If you were a teacher how would you mark such answers? "A blizzard is the inside of a hen. "A circle is a round straight line with a hole in the middle. "George Washington married Mary Curtis and in due time became father of his country. "A mountain range is a large cook stove. "Achilles was dipped in the river Styx to make him normal. "Pompeii was destroyed by an eruption ol .sa liva trom the Vatican. "Typhoid fever is prevented by fascination. "Georgia was founded by people who had been •xecuted." Hadn't Been Down Town In Over Year TARIFF WITHOUT EXPLOITATION 0\'K fact stamls out in the new tariff. For th*1 first time a Cunadain Government hns established the principle that manufacturers will be given ample pro- tection to insure them of their home market if in return the producers will guarantee that the consumer is not exploited, The Financial Post has long contended tha! higher tariff need not mean higher sidling prices in the home mavkot Now Mr. Bennett holds the snme view and has exacted from Canadian industrialists their agreement with thnt view. The success of the new tariff* and subsequent revision rests now with the manufacturers whoso employees are designed to be the Immediate bonollclariea. If they adhere to their promise; if the government sees that they adhere to it. higher tariff will prose successful in Canada. The country as a whole is now disposed to accept higher tariffs and there is more sympathy with protectionist theory than previously. So long as consumers remain convinced that protection brings prosperity without exploitation of buyers the new Bennett policy of higher tariff will remain popular.

The new tariff, boing an emergency measure, is not a scientifically devised fiscal structure. Mr. Bennett scrapped the one real fact-finding body—the tariff board. It would hell, the country if he were to speed up the reconstitlltion of the tariff board in order that the benefit of further of its investigations may he had for the next session of Parliament, when when more tariff changes will be mnde. The new tariff should quicken business activity. Besides giving producers a belter chance to hold their home market, it will stimulate business enterprise, encourage the initiation of projects that were delayed because of the uncertainty of our tariff* policy In recent years* ami generally start tho wheels of business turning a bit faster. Si * * It will prove uniformly beneficial. It will be found lhat in such hastily conceived legislation many hardship- have been introduced, that will retard rather than speed up business. Some industries nre going to tind their costs increased, find themselves generally handicapped by the changes. Only painstaking examination by business paper editors and executives will enable u compiv- hensive study of thc incidence of thc changes to lso mails'. This will come in time. In the case of the publishers of farm papers nnd magazines the new tariff works serious hardship. They have tnken away from them the beliefs' of a drawback on the duly paid on certain classes of paper that they require. This drawback has heen of considerable value In widening their circulation nnd this in turn bus been of national importance from the stand- point of education ond the quickening of Canadian spirit. Canadian line paper mills, many of them equipped with obsolete machinery are unable to supply certain classes of pnpei required in the publication of these magazines and in many cuses tbe quality of paper furnished has been inferior. The elimination of the drawback is a real burden on Canadian publishers. More serious ,of course, is effect on Canadian industrtinlists, who require strong national publications to placs- their own advertising messages before Canadian buyers. —Financial Post.

PAGE THREE HEALTH SERVICE ofthe Canadian Medical Association Questions concerning Health, addressed to the Canadian Medical Association, 184, College St., Toronto, will be answered personally by correspondence. Toxoid and Dlphteria Prevention When, towards the end of the last century, diptheria antitoxin was discovered, we were jjiven u specific cure for diptheria. When antitoxin is administered in sufficient dosage, during the first day of the illness, it practically assures the recovery of the person who is ill. Diptheria antitoxin is the substance which the body produces to counteract the poison or toxin which the diptheria germs give off. This takes time to produce and that is why the antitoxin which has been produced in the horses is injected .so thnt there may not lie uny time when there is not sufficient amount of antitoxin present in the body to overcome the toxin. In spite of our having this specific cure, deaths from diptheria continued to occur. The number was greatly reduced, hut the disease was fat1 from being controlled. The explanation for this was thnt, for various reasons, the antitoxin was not being i g.iven early enough to prevent the j damage done by the toxin. We were thus in the position of knowing how I to cure a disease which, however, continued to cause 'many deaths because the remedy was not being used soon enough to bring about a cure. It wns evident that if diptheria were to be controlled, it would be necessary to be able to give protection against the disease before it made its attack. If the human body while healthy, could be made to produce antitoxin as it did when attacked by the disease, and so he prepared in advance, then the disease would not occur. This is the very thing which diptheria toxoid does. We stated that the poison given off by the diptheria germ is called diptheria toxin. It has been found practical to treat this toxin in a certain manner so that it loses its pot- I soiling or toxic powers, and yet re- : tains its ability to stimulate the body ; to produce antitoxin. This altered : toxin is called toxoid. Toxoid, because it has lost its tox- ic power, is harmless. It is injected into the body. Three doses are given at certain intervals and, after u period of time, the person injected is | protected or immunized ngainst dip- j theria. In a small percentage of per- j sons ,one or two additional injections | are needed, as some individuals do not respond as well as others. The immunity gained in this way j lasts for years if not for a lifetime. j Toxoid has been widely used with j perfect results, and it can be recom- i mended without reservations. It | should be given enrly in life because i diptheria is most severe among chil- j dren of from six months to five years. Toxoid is a safe and satisfactory ] substance which makes us immune to diptheria and offers a practical method of preventing diptheria.

The Cumberland Islander —I'HONE 35— ; Vancouver, is entitled to some voice j in selecting the park site, as is also j the Lower Mainland. i Nature has cut off the lower third i of the Island By the Alberni Canal, ■ he continued, which is only fifteen | miles, as the crow flies, from Quail* cum. The remaining two-thirds of [ the west coast is unapproachable by nny road leading from Victoria, un- . less such a highway is traversed from the south bank of the canal to Al- | bernl, leavdng the traveller still sixty miles from the real west coast. "Unfortunately, the south bank of 1 tho cmal is so rough that building such a road is considered a joke, j even by the people of Alberni," continued the speaker. "The coast line from the canal south is most forbidding and nature has made it uninteresting from a I scenic point of view, when compared I with the real west coast. Anyone , acquainted with this part of the coastline knows there is no safe an- ; c ho rage after leaving Sooke, except , the Nithjat, and the entrance to thirf j refuge is hazardous. "On the other hand, nature has been much more generous from the I Alberni Canal north to Cape Scott,'* , be asserted. i ''This Ls the part of Vancouver Island we Upper Islanders like to call the real West Coast, Kennedy Lake, Sproat Lako, Great Central Lake, countless inlets, salt water ; lakes, rivers, mountains, hot springs land unrivalled scenery. We feel, in justice to Canada, any park must necessarily be located at some point j north of the Alberni Canal." I Connecting Link ■ Strongly Advocated. i Mr. Mitchell expressed strong ' views on the need of building a road ; front Sproat Lake to Long Beach. 1 declaring thnt for forty years government after government has been ; petitioned, for this in order to give J promised connection to the outside world to West Coast settlers. lie declared that this important link in Island development has beer, conveniently side-stepped or talked down by contra interests. The connection would be Invaluable to Van couver, he said. Two years ago the Associated Boards of Trade of Vancouver Island passed a resolution to the effect that no new road programme on the Island be undertaken until existing highway, the first road to be built should be the Sproat Lake-Long Reach road. Almost the next day, he said, u red herring—in name, the extension of the Victoria-Jordan Kiver road, or the Ocean Highway—made its appearance, pushed by Victoria Interests, and this work was authorb;- be with the real West Const." Long Beach Road To Open Rich Area. Tho Long Beach road, the speaker said, will give long-promised outsidt connection to the west coast; put Vancouver within six hours of Lon" Beach; bring Vancouver and the lower mainland within daily touch of a wealthy industrial area with its all- year-round population, and open Up valuable timber, mining and farming districts. Speaking of the lslnnd coal industry. Mr. Mitchell said that in ten years prouctlon fell off 677,449 tons and 1044 fewer men were employed The reason for loss of production on the Island ,he said, is because, as the railways explained at the recent Victoria conference, they will not use conl in ships or locomotives unless it pays them. In the final analysis the answer is an adequate t-i\ on foreign fuel oil, he declared. City Organizationi Urged to Assist. As finer coal, or coal in a pulverized form, can and docs compete with oil under present conditions, there U no reason why any building, usim: a 250 h.p. boiler and over, should not generate heat and power by steam produced from coal, he said. He argued that architects in planning buildings should give a basic industry a chance. School boards, hospital boards and other organi/.a- tions, should be Impressed with the necessity of using coal in preference ! to imported oil, Mr. Mitchell maintained. "The American oil companies," ho declared, "seem to be making a dead set to convert our industries to oil burners and, I understand, often quote oil at a lower figure here than they do to industrial plants in thei.' own country, und much nearer point of production. Truly an adequate fuel oil tax is coming sooner i r later." Mr. Mitchell pointed Washington State has pr coal against the British producer. Referring to Alberta co to the peace for six months.
