General McNaughton, on the eve of his departure from the British zone, said today that presence of Canadian troops in England, and their future presence on the soil of France, testified to Anglo-French .unity in the common Allied cause.

Months ago the government promised to move them at the first sign of danger to prevent German reprisals if Belgium were invaded. Trucks loaded with soldiers and supplies rumbled through the capital all day toward the frontier while men reported to mobilization centres. As the mobilization progressed, official circles expressed the opinion that there was a "slight lessening of tension in the international situation." One official said "the danger appears to have passed but everyone remains on guard." Belgian officials said the hurried defence measures resulted from Belgian Secret Service reports. Informed sources declared Germany had gathered attack units near the Northern Belgian frontier and one experienced observer said Nazi troops might move within the next few days.

Hitler Will Regret Alliance With Soviet Declares Evangelist Startled statesmen and bewildered diplomats could scarcely believe their ears when they neard of the unholy alliance between Soviet Russia and Nazi Germany, and yet students of Bible Prophecy had been waiting with anticipation for this most unexpected^event, an irrefutable proof of the infallibility of God's word, said Rev. P. E. Lowenberg, evangelist, to a record crowd at the Apostolic Church Sunday night. Why was it, he asked there was so little heard today of the coming soon of Jesus Christ when it was mentioned over 318 times in the New Testament alone. Innumerable signs point unmis- takeably clearly tnat we are living in the last days, and the union of these two Godless nations is one that can not be lightly regarded," he said. These two countries, continued the Evangelist once were the two finest Christian nations in the world especially Germany, which was the birthplace of Protestantism. But they were going to suffer for their lolly. The circumstances which forced them together was going to keep this Stalin dominated household together. Many brides were rudely surprised when they found how different their husbands were than they expected them to be, and Hitler would find his new partner intended to be the head of the house. Basing his remarks on Ezekiel 38, Mr. Lowenberg stated these two nations would meet their Waterloo when they attempted to criuh Palestine. There in the land of the Saviour they were going to mee*. the God they had defied. Mr. Lowenberg is continuing his series of intensely interesting lectures on prophecy.

The Agriculture Department reported that 424,200,000 pounds of cattle and beef had been shipped into the United States, principally from Canada and Mexico, during the first 11.months of 1939, Compared with 294,840.00 pounds in thc like period of 1938. Juve Reps Take News for 10-3 Ride in Hockey Censorship measures were recommended on information coming from the Nelson Civic Arena between the hours of 11 and 12 Saturday morning, but even censorship was not equal to this task, so into public print must go the fact that The Daily News Inkslingers went down to defeat, Just squeezed out of victory one might gather, by 10-3. Walter Wait's Juvenile Reps did It. For Chief Commander "Sundown" Davles it was a cold, dull morning that had him wondering why he had left the kindly embrace of Morpheus. As for Rear Admiral "Sam" Brown, the goalie, he was wishing that he had been farther to the rear of the guns of the Waltless Juves. Slim Porter handled the kldi. The climax of the game came with minutes to go in the contest when the News boys were putting on their power play, even If It was all around their own net. The referees promptly upset the order of things when they sent off the Romeo of the Ice Lanes, Jardine, and Manager "Sundown", rather perturbed over the rash actions of the refs but never one to be dismayed, placed two back on the Ice for every one who was sent off until the bench was cleared except for his own unhappy visage. So fierce did lhe News power play become and so greatly did they take over, that they carried the puck time and again up to their own blue line, and even seriously threatened to go as far u centre ice. At about this time, "Slim" Porter was having an uncomfortable time of it, and but for the short time remaining would have called out the home forces. The tower of strength of the printers' defence was "The Lopin' Swede" Matheson, who alternated between heaving unfortunate Juveniles over his back and acting on the rear-guard "a la Lionel Conacher", who acquired fame In the N. H. L. as a "second goaltender." The "Swede" even courageously placed his schnozsle In front of a shot by Doug Winlaw on one occasion. All of which isn't to insinuate that "Sam" needed such a convenience as an assistant goaltender. For, barring those 10 goals, he found thc goaltending life a blissful affair except when "Scrub" Wallace and "Spook" Gibbon found it easier to shoot the puck at their own goal than to resort to the more arduous ] task of carrying the elusive rubber $1509 COLLECTED FOR RED CROSS, ROSSLAND.

C.-One of the bes'. attended Board of Trade meetlngi held here for tome time was a special meeting held Wednesday afternoon on the mining problem, when over 40 city business mon, memben ot the Board, and representatives from Crawford Bay and Ainsworth were present. President A. L. MacFhee explain- ed the reasons for calling a special session, as he had considered that matters needed immediate consideration, aa they were of vital interest to the entire Kootenay district, particularly to mining interests In the Kailo and Slocan parts of the district, and to residents ln the Crawford Etey and Kootenay Bay areas. Several out of town mining men had been invited to be present, and Mr. MacPhee had had telephone messages from S. S. Fowler of Rion- del and A. M. Ham, Manager ot the Mammoth mine ln the Slocan, regretting their Inability to be present, but heartily approving the proposed action as outlined The paramount todc discussed was that of trying to put mines throughout the district in operation ngaln. To this end a united effort should be njade to procure lower freight rates on ore shipments. It was pointed out that with the present prices of zinc and lead, as posted in London, district mines could not possibly operate; better prices could probably be secured in the United States pending a reasonable reduction In present freight rates, if these could be secured. After much constructive and instructive discussion, it was decided to press for lower rates on ore* shipped from the Slocan dlitrlct to smelters In Great Falls, Mont, and Kellogg, Ida.: copies of a resolution to this effect to be forwarded to the Nelson and Slocan Boards'of Trade asking for their cooperation. WRITE C. M. 4 8. R. Sherraden of Ainsworth, thought a reduction of V> cent per lb. on marketing charges would help as much, or possibly more, than a reduction in freight rates. Thinking well of the ldc_. the meet- ting instructed Secretary F. S. Rouleau to write the C. M. St S. Company asking If such a reduction would be possible when taking into consideration that, at the present time, the total production of the Trail Smelter was already sold to the British Government and it did e(j silverton named areas. During the Summer monthi many tourists planning to visit points on the Main Lake and the West Arm, were turned back by the fear of being held up, possibly over night, In Gray Creek, and also by the time taken to make the present ferry trip, which now Is at least an hour. With the suggested shorter run between Kootenay Bay -nd Queens-Bay, a round trip could be made well within an hour. It was decided that a resolution, covering the foregoing subject matter, should be forwarded to the Minister of Public Works with the request that the change be made at the earliest possible date To more urgently bring the matter before the B. C. Government, it was to circulate a petition throughout the entire districts interested. President MacPhee was appointed to attend to this matter, and to work in conjunction wilh representatives cf the Crawford Bay District. J. R. Tinkess asked if it were possible to have mining lectures In Kaslo this Winter, as he felt it was an Important matter locally. The Board will at once bring the matter to the attention of the Minister of Mines. Advertising the district, especially Kaslo. was then pretty thoroughly discussed, many practical Ideas being put forward. A committee was npopinted to look Into the matter and report at the next meeting. This committee Is composed of F. T. Abey, J. A. Riddell, L. Riley. C, J. White of Kaslo and R. Sherraden of Ainsworth. In his closing remarks President MacPhee said "You cannot run a car without gaa, nor can you run an organization without money. We want your support, we may be barking up the wrong tree, but, personally,'! would rather bark than howl and whine." He then asked that the business men take more interest ln Board of Trade matter! and join Ihe Kaalo Board. This met with a ready response, many Joining before the meeting adjourned.

Jan. 14 (CP)-Sir John Simon, Chancellor of the Exchequer, urged Britain to greater sacrifices Saturday ln order to "continue the war without Inflation" and "avoid a post war slump ' "The medicine may seem drastic and unpleasant, but the disease may be more unpleasant," Sir John told a St. Andrew's Hall audience In the aecond of a series of talks inaugurated by Prime Minister Chamberlain Jan. 8. He asserted It waa Imperative to restrict consumption further, botli to provide war funds and limit competition. "One of the reason! for the iev- erest budget the British people have ever had to face," the Chancellor said, "is to raise the largest possible sum for the first year of the war. The budget la designed to discourage unnecessary spending by diverting the larger part of the national Income into essential businesses providing war supplies." Turning to Adolf Hitler's suc- cesiion of broken promises and acts of aggression, Sir John commented: "In spite of Lord Haw Haw, Germany by this time knows on which side lies the moral support of thc world." It was not a mere figure of speech, he added, which described the war at a "fight for liberty." The Nazi system was based on the view that human beings as auch have no rights and that nothing mattered but the development of the race and the success of thc state. 'That Is the quintessence of tyranny," he declared. "Let no one suppose that the war can be carried on to the only conclusion of which free men and women would tolerate without Incurring Immense burdens and making heavy sacrifices." The comparative quiet of events at home and the limited extent of losses and sufferings In the field. Sir John went on. might encourage the view that victory could be achieved without that full contribution of the whole population which would really be necessary. 'That would be a false view," he said, "a dangerous view, a fatal view. There could be no better service lo our Democracy, than to tell people the truth as to the sacrifices that must be faced. Nothing is more certain than that when this is thoroughly understood these sacrifices will be willingly made." Rossland Social.. ROSSLAND, B.

Nelson had for th« subject of their Lesson-Sermon on Sunday "Sacrament." The Golden Text was: "I am the Lord that bringeth you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: ye shall therefore be holy, for I »m holy" (Leviticus 11: 45). Among the citations which comprised the Lesson-Sermon Wa. the following from the Bible: "And he said unto them. Cast the net on the right side of the ship, and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now they were not able to dra wit for the multitude of fishes" (John 21: 0. The Lesson-Stnnon also included the following passage from the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy: "Are all who eat bread and drink wine in memory of Jesus willing truly to drink his cup, take his cross, and leave all for the Christ- principle? Then why ascribe this inspiration to a dead rite, instead of showing, by casting out error and making the body Mioly, acceptable unto God,' that Truth has come to the understanding? If Christ, Truth, has come to us in demonstration, no other commemoration is requisite, for demonstration ls Immanuel, or God with us; and if a friend be with us, why need we memorials ot that friend?"

West Kootenay Hospitals lo Form Regional Body to Deal With Rales Compensotion Board Problems Theme of Coast Delegate KiniL fob aHotuewivcA By BETSY NEWMAN Decision to form, ■ Regional Con- ferenceof West Kootenay Hospitals within the framework of the British Columbia Hospitals Association was ihe outcome of a day-long meeting of representatives of West and East Kootenay hospitals at the Nurses' Home. Nelson, Sunday. Raising of public ward rates, possibly to S3 a day, was a focal point While the meeting was called to deal with the raising of rates, Oliver Phillips, Secretary of Vancouver General Hospital, stated so many items were included in "flat rates" of some hospitals and classed as extra charges ln others that it was decided to Investigate further "just what constitutes a flat rate" before proceeding. The meeting was also addressed by Percy Ward of Vancouver, Provincial Hospitals Inspector. Differences between the Workmen's Compensation Board and the Vancouver General Hospital were outlined by Mr. Phillips, wno said that after "discussions and pleadings" the Vancouver hospital had decided it must fight the Board through the courts. It was the oniy way, he said. C. F. McHardy, Nelson Board delegate, asked if the hospitals could not say to the Board: "You pay us W _ir your patients or we won't take them." IN FAVOR FIGHTING Mr. Phillips slated he would report back to his regional conference that the West Kootenay hospitals were in favor of fignting. It was decided to form a West Kootenay Conference, with one Board delegate and one or more of each staff to attend a meeting in Trail late In February to investigate further the rates and to elect officers. Sister Therese Annable of St. Eugene Hospital, Cranbrook, East Kootenay Region Representative, stij?d an East Kootenay Regional C<»iference would be held February 18 and would delermine then whether to join the West Kootenay body Speaking for the Cranbrook hospital, she said she favored the idea but could not voice an opinion for the hospitals of Kimberley, Fernie, Michel, Invermere and Golden. List of supplies included In tho service at Vancouver General Hospital would be sent to the conference as a help toward establishing new rates, Mr. Phillips said. Some o! these supplies, such as drugs, extra services or treatments, were included In the flat rates but most o! them were listed as extras. TO COMPARE RATES Delegates to the Trail meeting would take to it the rates of their own hospitals for comparison with those of the Vancouver hospital and decision would be based on that comparison, it was decided. Present rates varied from $2.25 to $2.50. The general feeling was that it was no longer possible to operate a hospital at current rates because of the increased cost of materials and equipment. Therefore rates should be raised to meet costs—"no more, no less." 8MALL HOSPITALS SHOULD RAISE Percy Ward stated there was no reason why a small hospital should not raise its rates to $3 per day if it was giving the same nursing service as a large hospital—" providing of course, that it is not underpaying or overworking its employees." The small hospitals was incurring thc same expenses as a large one. Hospitals "are cutting the foundation right out from under their feet if they are not charging somewhere near the cost of operation," he stated 'There should be no commercial competition between hospitals." he said. "The only kind of competition should be to see who can give the patient the best service. He answered questions put by delegates and cleared up several involved points. ' The delegates were welcomed In the morning by Mayor N. C. Stlbbs, • member of the Kootenay Lake General Hospital Board. Winter Care... Pamper Skin as Winter Winds Bla' By DONNA GRACE The first cold days bring a skin reaction that is not always comfortable. Homes are all so well heated the skin is hardly prepared for the sudden change of temperature when one goes outdoors. The fine, chiffon-like skin fluffs off and the result is Intense itching. While there is nothing serious about this, it can be very annoying, so we must have some relief. "First, do not bathe before going out, then when there is a dryness, cover with a light film of white vaseline and remove at 6nce with a tissue. Do not irritate the skin with too much rubbing. Soothing applications are what it needs. The stearate of zinc powder used for the delicate skin of babies has long been a soothing application for thc cold weather itching. Olive oil may be good for some types of skin but will only irritate others. The mineral oil lubrication is better. One should dress comfortably, too. When the legs and arms arc warm, the normal circulation will help to keep the skin active. When taking a warm bath, use plenty of creamy soap lather and rinse immediately. Then apply the creamor oil. Some of the creams are made with a base of mineral oil and these are Ideal for the after- bath application. Those who are allergic to wool will find the silk and wool mixtures will not cause friction. The same rule applies to stockings, and for extra warmth, one may wear silk next to the skin and the wool on the outside. Those who stay in town will seldom require so much protection, but it's far better to wear extra things even though the contour is a bit rounded out. Tight shoes, belts and any restricted clothing will add to the discomfort of the cold. The toes should have room to move about or the feet will be sure to suffer. Those whose skin is extremely sensitive should use a water softener in the baths. There are 6ome good ones on the market and the bran bags tossed In the tub will always make a film to soothe Irritation. — p«c.f Five 29 Delegates at Hospital Meeting Twenty-seven delegates attended the first regional meeting of Kootenay hospitals at the Nurses' Home, Nelson Sunday.

They are the women who expected marriage to yield them blissful happiness, and when marriage didn't, they quit and began to cry out loud because life had cheated them. No design for living, no plans to find compensations on the outside for what they missed inside, nor effort to piece out the pattern of their lives and lead a useful and reasonably content existence, even if they are married to duds. Day after day I receive letters from women who bring every sort of indictment against their husbands; one husband has no interest in his home, another is stingy, another drinks, gambles; another won't provide any nourishment for his wife, but takes plenty for himself; another has eyes for othyr women.

No matter how these men got this way, no matter who is at fault in the beginning, it's perfectly natural for a woman to be disappointed when the principal things she got married for have eluded her: a home built for two and enjoyed by both, companionship, security, fun and whatnot. But that's no excuse for her to fold up and admit she's licked. We can't blame an ignoramus for failing to enjoy good books, nor blame a hardworked woman who is in poor health for falling In her bed when the day's work is done. nor blame a timid, inhibited woman for not going out to scare up an exciting social life. These are not the only ladies who are crying out loud because husbands have cheated them. They are » small fraction of the number. There's hope for every one of these marriage malcontents regardless of her limitations, if she will get up and fight her way to contentment. To begin with she can usually persuade her husband to participate with her in some phases of their life (if she's diplomatic and patient); and to end with she can learn to roll her own; have friends and fun on the side and make a reasonably full life for herself, even if her husband won't cooperate or participate.

MEMBER OB THE CANADIAN PRESS AND THE AUDIT BUREAU OF CIRCULATIONS. MONDAY MORNING. JAN. 15,1940. ANOTHER ELGIN? (Toronto Globe and Mail). Mere mention of the Earl of Elgin as the possible successor to Lord Tweedsmuir as Governor-General is sufficient to justify hope that the grandson of Canada's first constitutional Governor may be persuaded to accept the appointment. The history of this country is so intimately bound up with the administrations of Lord Elgin and Lord Durham, another forebear of the present Earl, that his presence here for a period of years would be an inspiration, 'to say nothing of the rejoicing in the St. Andrew's Society of Toronto, which made his Montreal-born father an honorary member before he could walk. The Earl has visited Canada on three occasions, the last being in 1938 when, through the good offices of Hon. Dr. Bruce he was induced to come to the Royal Winter Fair, where he acted as a judge of cattle. A Governor-General who is an authority on agriculture, is the owner of a famous herd of Aberdeen-Angus cattle, interested in all phases of farm life, would give new leadership to this important branch of industry. On this score alone he would be warmly welcomed. The Dominion has been fortunate in Governors-General able and willing to provide impetus to some phase of life. Lord Tweedsmuir's contribution to literary and other cultural interests will remain many years after his return to the Old Land. While Lord Elgin's activity is confined by no means to agriculture, for he has given his time to many important high offices, we can conceive of none other which his interest would benefit more at the present time, and none more in need of the attention he would be likely to give. Not every possible incumbent of this high post has his qualifications in this respect. • - So with Lady Elgin, his charming wife, who is actively enlisted in the work of the Scottish Women's Institutes, and attended a convention of Women's Institutes in Toronto ■with Mrs. Bruce. If the flock of Sussex chickens on the Scottish farm engages her attention, it is also a fact that she can milk a cow. It is doubtful that a more ideal appointment could be made for Rideau Hall than this scion of an illustrious democratic family. J? Questions V„ ANSWERS Open to any reader.

NELSON. B. 0. - MONDAY MORNING. JAN. 16. 1910— Adolescent Anemia... Blood Checkup Is Regular Need By LOGAN CLINDENINO, M. D. A great problem of adolescence ls anemia. Thla may be very insidious and entire escape attention, but I think anyone who deals with large groups ol adolescent children must notice the high Incidence ot pallor. Thla probably indicates anemia whether the blood examination shows it or not. The anemia ot adolescence is usually one In which the number of red cells Is not reduced although the coloring matter ot the blood shows a more or less significant reduction. The old-fashioned "green sickness" tn girls was a torm ot primary anemia called "chlorosis." We are told on eminent authority that this has disappeared ott the earth. The explanation of the disappearance ol chlorosis has been that the nutrition ot the modern age is better than that of other periods. We have a large supply ot fresh foods during the Winter, Including fresh meats, which was not true in our parents' time, and we also have green vegetables and fruits with a high Iron content all the year 'round now. All of which goes to prevent the development of chlorosis. IRON DEFICIENCY Chlorosis is due to iron deficiency and its treatment Is very simple; it consists in. the feeding of iron. The argument tor the reasons ot the disappearance of chlorosis, that we have more Iron In our food now, Is therefore plausible. I am not sure, however, that chlorosis has disappeared quite as much as we are led to believe, I see cases every once In a while ln the clinic, and I find that they are not recognized because the subject of chlorosis is not taught emphatically to modern physicians. The principal symptoms of chlorosis are digestive, consisting ot loss of appetite and a liking for particular kinds of foods. This appetite change may be more cause than effect because the foods which are preferred are candy and other processed foods which contain Utile iron or vitamins. BLOOD MAY NOT 8H0YV IT The examination of the blood, as it is done in a routine way by a technician in a laboratory, may | AUNT HET By ROBERT QUILLIN * w "I don't ever want to get things fixed Just to ault ma. Havln' a perfect house to set and look at wouldn't be aa much tun aa plannin' to Improve It." show little Indication to a physician that chlorosis exists. The old clinicians who made the diagnosis nt chlorosis did so'because they made their own blood examinations, a custom, which, unfortunately, tn modern times has largely gone out of tashion. Anemia, then, Is a problem ot adolescence which la often overlooked and disregarded. The diagnosis can be as much art the appearance of the child aa on technical blood examinations. I think it ls proper to advise, however, that in the routine examination ot the adolescent, the blood should be checked at least once a year. The other important routine examination of the adolescent ls for tuberculosis and it is, of course, possible • that adolescent anemia may have tuberculosis as its causative background. In all events, there can be no harm in careful attention to tho adolescent's nutrition, particularly wilh reference to seeing that he has plenty of iron in the food. QUE8TIONS AND ANSWERS K. E. T.: "Have I any reason to be worried about running a temperature of 99 to 100, that is, off and on, all Winter? It is normal in the moming and evening. It goes up about 11 and stays up till J o'clock. I am not weak and have no cough." Answer. Such a condition certainly demands investigation, Including an X-ray of the cheat. It suggests a chronic infection, possibly early tuberculosis. Do not wait until cough and weakness appear.

In less than a half hour, the crush of guests had thinned out and now they were only ten in the flower- filled drawing room. Already porters were clearing away the debris and Gertrude, with a long gold coat over her yellow lace gown, was still organizing. "We've only two cars. How shall we divide ourselves?" she asked vaguely, knowing that ahe'd manage the whole thing. "Mr. Havl- land, will you take Mark and Edna? I'll take Fabienne and Nicky in my car. There's room for live, you know, so I can lake Miss—er Chapman and Dr. Mallory. Oh. dear, that leaves Mr. and Mrs. McHcnry. Can you manage another two, Mr Havi- land?" Nicky said, "My roadster's downstairs I can take Miss Chapman. You wouldn't mind, would you?" he said, turning to her. "You've both a warm coat and a hat." "Of course not," Ellen agreed. "That's splendid, Nicky, darling. I'll seat you next lo Fablenne at the table. Well, I guess thai fixes everything.," she said, leading the way to the elevator "It certainly doei," Fablenne said begrudgingly. Mother'd fixed everything so that she'd have to sit beside Bill all the way uptown while poor Ellen had to ride with Nicky, who probably wouldn't know what lo say to her. She pulled the hood of her fur- lined wrap over her head and glared at the chauffeur's back, prepared to glare all the way to their destination "How're vou feeling." Bill said professionally. •Swell," she said glumly. "Some show." he tried again. "Wasn't It? The Seymours al- wavs give big shows" "I was wondering how you'd look walking down that long aisle." "Scared, probably." "I wouldn't blame you. It's a long chance you take" "I* lhal why you aren't married. Bill?" "Me'' No I lake chances.

I'm going to find out" Fabienne's fingers played wilh the pearl-beaded bag In her lap and she wished that she could paint a permanent smile on her face with a lipstick It was all a little too much for her to lit beside Bill tonight and talk about Ellen, to hear him say thai "ne day he wai going to ask her to marry him. That's what il all amounted to "Well. _nnd luck when you do'" she said, managing a bright, impersonal smile Her mother broke off her conv.r. saiion with lhe (|ther of ihe bride, "What are you two talking about'* she asked "The price of rubber in Puerto Rico.' her daughter said, without anv rudeness in her tone.

They'd probably arrived a quarter of an hour before. Nicky, a block away, wu saying, "I'll let you out and then park the car." "Ill come with you,'' Ellen answered, "if you'd like to have me." "Like to? Say, I wish we didn't have to go to this dinner. You're the first interesting girl I've talked D since I can remember." "Fablenne Ls Interesting," Ellen said quickly. "She's not only the prettiest girl I've ever seen but she is a most Interesting, tainted, charming and sincere person." "Yet bet!" he agreed enthusiastically. "Guess young Mallory appreciates her—her attractions, eh?" "BUI? Yes, he does. He likes her very much, but she—she—I mean they're Just good friends." Nicky mustn't get the Idea that Fabienne and Bill were romantic about each other, however Bill felt It wouldn't be lair to Nicky to let him believe anything like that. Anyway, she wasn't sure how Fabienne felt about any man. She'd said she w«s fond of Nicky. And in spite of her one protestation that she would not marry Nicky, Ellen couldn't see how she could reslit ] him. Also, it was odd that Fablenne j said Nicky wasn't interested in anything but flying, polo and hunting. Nlckyd been talking to her en- I Ihuilastleally about the Bartlett j tobacco bunness. He'd answered all her questions with eagerness. , They parked the car and walkfd 1 back to the hotel. "I might stay around for a few days." he uld as they went Into Ihe brightly lighted lobby. "Any chance of seeing you again?" There it w»s again—that swift brush of pink that made her dark eyei sparkle "I-I don't know." "I like to talk to you. What ar. you doing tomorrow night'" Still ahe didn't say anything. Sh. couldn't very well h«v. a date with Fabienne's beau. "You have aome mighty Interesting Ideas about marketing. You could help me if you wanted to. How about it'" If ah« could help him—that was Child Care... Child Needs Wide Opportunities lo Bring Oul Best By Garry Cleveland Myers, Ph.D. The child learns to walk alone between the ages of 11 and IS months. But he arrives at this achievement gradually. He usually develops ln the following order: First he crawls with his abdomen dragging. He then creeps, with the abdomen lifted clear and aome teamwork of the arms and left. Next ha pulls himself to a standing position by taking hold of furniture or other objects, and finally makes stepping movements which culminate In walking. Here are more detailed stages ln these developments (for the average child): Side to side' movements of the head, two to three weeks ot age. Raises self by the arms, clearing chest, two to four months. Sits with support, three to five months. Sits alone momentarily, five to six months. Rolls from back to stomach, six to seven months. Sits alone steadily, seven to nine months. Creeps, nine to U months. Walks when led, 10 to U months. Pulls self up to stand by furniture, 10 to 11 months. Stands alone, 12 to 15 months. Walks alone, 12 to 18 months. TRIPS EASILY AT FIRST In the early walking stages the baby moves almost as If on stilts, easily tripping over small obstacles. But within the next few years he will learn to run, jump, climb, skip, hop, walk a narrow rad or board, jump rope and so on. It is Important during this period for the child to have the opportunity to develop control over his muscles by sing them In a wide variety ot ways, manipulating many materials. The young child so develops that he can make the large movements earlier and easier than the smaller ones. Therefore, modern play equipment is made up of large things which are easy for the child to handle. The tendency a generation ago was to make such equipment very small. OTHER FACTORS But as Professor John Anderson says, "While modern evidence and practice tend to support the principle of large equipment, It must not be forgotten that the child's CONTRACT By Shepard Barclay PREVENTING END FLATh WHEN a defender holds guard- ad honora In all suits, none of them In sequence, he I.

Thus, a good environment will not be comprised exclusively of one type, one size or one piece of material, but will contain a variety ot materials and play objects. "One cannot predict high skill in one activity trom high skill in another. A boy may throw a ball very well and yet be poor in manipulating a saw or hammer. II follows, then, that the environment during the early school years thould give the child a wide variety ot opportunities for experience in many different situations, for otherwise he can't explore his own potentialities."

KIMBERLEY DYNAMITE BLOWN UP IN OWN FACES AS NELSON LEAFS SHUT THEM OUT FOR THE FIRST TIME Nelson Combination Play Best of Season Before a happy throng of 1200, tha unpredictable Nelaen Maple Leafs rang up one of their rare Weat Kootenay Hockey Laagua vlc- torlea over Kimberley Dynamiters—by blanking them (-0, In tha Civic Arena Saturday night. In fact, when Jease Seaby skated off the Ice after (0 minutes of spectacular and thrilling hockey, he had Juat finished giving the Dynamiters their first whitewashing slnea Trail Smoke Eaters took three straight, two of them shutout victorlei, In tha league finals two years ago. The Trallltaa went on to take the Allan Cup. Kimberley made It a battle all* the way, fighting to turn the tide from the time the first goal was scored, and they gave Seaby aome hot moments. Bill Burnett, rugged Dynamiter defenceman, was a standout as he set the working pace for the team. But Dynamiters, still short of the condition needed tor the blistering pace of Kootenay hockey, lacked the finish and drive that means goals, Nelson was value for the win, but it wasn't an easy one. Seaby tacked up his first shutout of the series to date, further emphasizing this Is his best season in three terms on Nelson ice. Hla hottest time came late in the game when Kimberley had its only opportunity to put on its famed power play while Billy Sneider was serving penance. HAMMOND OUTSTANDING Buddy Hammond returned to form in a big way in sparking the Leaf attack. He worked his head off, breaking up plays with nifty poke- checks time and again. He was a constant threat, and playmaker. Jack Kilpatrick, pivoting the other Nelson line, added three points to his total and took over scoring leadership of the squad as he maintained the pace he has set all season. Play was nearly all Nelson's for most of the first period, but It took a- penalty to Burnett for tripping Sneider to give Nelson the opening for the first goal. Hammond grabbed a loose puck in front of the net on a deflected shot and backhanded the disc past Campbell from about 15 feet out. A few seconds previously Hammond had taken the secortd penalty shot of the season on local ice when Carl Sorenson saved a goal by grabbing the puck with his hands during a close call around the Kimberley net with Campbell oil to one side. Campbell made a nice stop of Hammond's low drive to a corner. CAMPBELL HURT In the last minute of the flnt session, Red Carr charged In to smash home Bui Algar's rebound, which Campbell bad kicked out After ha was finished he and the goalie were tying tangled up In the meih Inside the net Campbell was hurt on the play. Despite the fact thaf Kimberley was outscored 3-0 in the second, the Dynamiters had just about as much of the play as the Leafs, while thc fans were being treated to one of the season's best games. Buddy Hammond put Nelson three up when he robbed two defenders behind their goal and slipped a short pass back to Algar, who drilled the puck home. Soon after Johnny Smith raced In to deflect Jack Kilpat- rick's well-timed pass into the net and put Nelson ahead 4-0. At Uie halfway mark Kilpatrick scored on a shot from beyond the penalty shot line, converting a pass from Bicknell, with Sneider also In on the play. Shortly alter Sneider had his wind knocked out when Bill Burnett handed out a heavy but legitimate body check, and play was called for a few minutes. Thc Nelson first string right winger was soon back In the fray though. At His Best THE STATISTICS First period: 1, Nelson, Hammond, 15:32; 2, Nelson, Carr (Algar) 19:17.

Venzke Wins by Foot From Cunningham BOSTON, Jan. 14 (AP).-After trailing a six-man field for seven of the 10 laps, Gene Venxke of New York came to life Saturday night to gain a one-foot triumph over Glenn Cunningham in a 4:13.1 mile before a crowd of 10,000 at the Boston Garden. The Hansen's defeat was his first on Boiton boards ln nine years' campaigning. Cunningham finished about four yards ahead of Chuck Fenske, former Wisconsin star. Don Laah, who holds the 8:58 two-mile indoor record, gained a one-yard victory In his specialty over Tommy Deckard, his outstanding rival. Lash's time was 9:13.4. junior Police Win Hockey Battle Trail TRAIL. B. C, Jan. 13 - Junior Police marked up a 8-1 victory over Aces in High School Junior hockey Saturday morning. O. Walton and B. Robertson scored two goals each while F. Doubt and J. Wilson picked up one each for the winners, Don McKinnon was the scorer for the Aces. One of the high lights of the third wai a boxing exhibition between Nick Smith and Carl Sorenson. Smith had a fairly de- clslve margin. He got In the belt punches, but tha action was over nearly ai quickly as It itarted. Both men at the time were well out of Jhe play, which was proceeding down to the other end of the Ice. Both were given minor penalties. THE FINAL TALLY Scoring was completed ln the first half of this session when Jack Mann topped oil a neat three-way combination, involving Nick Smith and Kilpatrick. Smith carried the puck into the Kimberley area and halted inside the blue line to pass to Kit- Patrick at centre, who then gave It to Mann. Mann seemed cornered to one side of the net by two Kim-! berleyltes. but took his time to blast thc puck high into the rigging from close In. It was one of the best plays of the night. Dynamiters looked far from the I form of their Allan Cup days. However, opposing them was a smart Nelson team which gave Ita best performance of the Winter, and which opened the eyes ot even Its j most critical fans-and there were' plenty of them—with sparkling combination plays. Play at times became ragged, but taking it all around, calibre of the hockey witnessed was first class. Bill Burnett Ralph Redding and Gordie Wilson, spark plugs of the Dvnnmiters in past seasons, were their best. Although held pointless. Redding had Nelson fans rooting tor him with his smart play. Hii forechecking was a treat to watch, and he was a great source of worry to Nelson puck-carriers. KIMBERLEY DESERVES GOAL Pratt started the last period with Redding and Wilson reunited, and Armstrong on the right side. The rangy Wilson had been playing left wing, but he was moved back to centre where he made fans wonder why the Reddlng-Wllson combination had ever been broken up. The ice official. Culley and Wheatley. again made a good Job of handling the game although both team* stuck to clean, hard and fast hockey. Sorenson and Smith mixed it for an Initant, but It happened in the heal ol the game. Only four penalties were Incurred, two by each team. Bus Algar. in helping Nelion break Its wlnletw streak of four gamea to go two full games ahead of the third-place Dynamiters, made hla first appearance before home fans as a left winger During thn past three road games, he was converted from a centreman and he shnwed marked Improvement, picking up a goal and an assist His AMERICANS WIN NEW YORK, Jan. 14 (CP)-New York Americans blanked Detroit 1-0 tonight to go into a last place National Hockey League tie with the Red Wings.

BUDDY HAMMOND Showing the best form he haa displayed since he came to Nelson two seasons ago, Buddy was a standout from start to finish in Saturday night's game with Kimberley. Scoring a goal and an as- slst, he figured in many other near-scoring plays. One of hla best plays of the night was in the first period when he broke with the Kimberley defence to beat. Crossing the Dynamiter blue-lino, he sucked the defenders to one side and slid across a pretty pass to Len Bicknell who had come up fast from behind, but the Leaf rearguard waa foiled by a colorful save by Campbell.

It was only about one-third of the average monthly losses in 1917, the worst year of the 1914-18 conflict. Heartening, too, ls the fact tha! Britain's naval losses In the same period were barely half of those ln the first four months of the last war. Reporting on merchant shipping losses December 6. Winston Churchill. First I/ird of the Admiralty, said 340000 tons had been destroyed but this was reduced by 280.000 tons of new shipping being brought into service. In the meantime Germany lost practically all her mercantile traffic outside the Baltic Nearly 100 OOO torn of Nazi shipping wa* captured up to the end of 0BERT80N 1939 while almost 125,000 toni of shipping was scuttled by the Germans themselves. On the naval side up to January 3 Britain lost one battleship, one aircraft carrier and three destroyers through sinking and one submarine in accident while sending to the bottom one German pocket battleship, one cruiser and perhaps, two. and a large, unestimated number of submarines. Success of the convoy system ln keeping the commercial ltfeblood flowing in te Emplre'i veins is shown In other official figures. Up to January 6, 5911 ships laden with necessities for the war effort and with civilian life sailed In convoy and only 12 were lost by enemy action For every IOTA tons of shipping destroyed, 110,000 tons safely j reached port. i The Contraband Control seized j 538.100 tons of cargo bound for Germany In 1939. This Is 212.300 | Ions more than Britain lost in the , same period through destruction of I British ships. DEATHS f By Tht Canadian Pren) HARBOR GRACE. Nfld - Rt. Rev. John March, 71J.

Argentina Join- • Dominions ln a share ot tho ess. The United States, how- wlth its wheat priced about Ita a bushel over Canadian and than 30 cents over Argentina lit of the market. ; war has stilled all Interna- .' talk of anothor world wheat ence to divide up the Import t among the three or four I exporters. Nations whose li cheap and plentiful—and Government* have directed control of supplies and guarantee producers prices well below the current price paid the American farmer—dominate tho wartime market. Only about 28,000.000 bushels of U. S, wheat and flour were sold abroad ln the first six months of the fiscal year that began July 1. This Is In contraat to sales of more than 100,000,000 bushels the full 1938-39 season and 300,000,000 to more than 300,000,000 bushels most veari In tha period from 1914 to 1923. In the decade that followed the last war. world Import requirements amounted to about 800,000,- 000 bushels annually, but recent efforts of Europe to support Itself have reduced that market to around 600,000,000 bushels or less. The short U. S. crops of 1933, 1935 and 1930, because of drought and crop damage, put American farmers out of this reduced market temporarily. When the United States again had an exportable surplus In 1938 it found itself competing with wheat subsidized by other Governments. Therefore, a U. S. subsidy was reported to, but because domestic prices have advanced far above the world market—due to the new drought and governments efforts to improve farmer income—the subsidy became increasingly costly and now has virtually been abandoned because the nation faces a reduced crop ln 1940. The Improved moisture situation In tlie domestic wheat belt, slow milling and baking demand and the International situation have contributed to persistent selling of wheat futures here since the start of the new year. Wheat prices have dipped a dime or more from the peaks reached Just before Christmas. Losses the past week amounted to 5—8% cent a bushel. Corn lost 2-2%, oata %-l%, and rye 2% -4*V«.

Jan. 14 (CP Cablel- Torquay Athletic defeated Newton Abbot 17-0 in an English Rugby Union game played on the former'i ground today. All other rugby union matches were cancelled. To The Editor Nelion Dally News: Sir: I make no apology for claiming space ln a matter ol vital public Interest to every ratepayer ln Nelson; neither do I want It to be Inferred, from this presentation, mat I am making a personal attack on the Mayor and Council, all of whom I have known for over a quarter of a century. Also my position at a candidate ln the recent election it fully appreciated. To those who may now disagree with me I willing concede the right of their own opinion. But when It cornea to the question of serving the best interest of Nelson and District, I concede to no one, a preemptive right over that ot my own. My opposition to the bylaw li on the following grounds: 1 Our Water Rights are now protected for five years, by virtue of the B. C. Government granting to the City this extension of time. 2 I will attempt to establish that we do not need any additional power for several yean since our present equipment, even with the complete failure of one ot the machines, can be made equal to all reasonable load requirements. 11 seriously disagree with the Mayor and Council ln the methods they have employed ln arriving at their conclusions, either, as to amount or necessity for the bylaw. 4 We are at war, fighting for our very existence, and surely it ii no time to launch out into unnecessary expenditures, particularly when it Is known that not 2 per cent of the money will reach local labor channels. Also, without any exaggeration, it is elementary to forecast a terrible readjustment period when It is all over, In which delinquent taxes increase and the need for relict becomes a major problem. DEFINED POLICY Now to detail: Item No. 1—We know that our water rights are protected for tive yean, and If the war continues, thereby precluding the City making any addition! within this specified time, there is no doubt that the Government In its 'wiidom will grant another extension of time. This present extension ot time is not to be credited to anyone in particular but It is simply a defined policy of the department to protect public institutions. By this I mean records having, for their objective the public good as apart from mere money making development!. The City's time limit to 1939 stands as evidence of thii attitude, In which I had personally lomething to do. Item No 2—In arriving at the conclusion that we need more power the Council ihould have made itudy of the progressive peak load delivered by the present plant, how that load ls made up, the time and nature of Its duration, and the present Installed capacity of the plant to successfully deliver the same. Anyone who li a ratepayer can go to the City Hall and get theie figures, like I did, and'here they are. Our present peak load Is 2626 kilowatt!, or K. W. Our preient ln- italled capacity: No. 1 machine (new one Installed 192»), 2650 K. W. No. 2 machine, old one, 1000 K. W No. 3 machine, old one, 700 K. W. Total capacity, 4350 K. W. In addition to the above rated ca pactty any one of the machines is :o wired that it will carry an over load of from 12 to 15 per cent if rt quired ln case ot serious accident causing any one of (he units to be out of commission. CAN "NURSE" LOAD This li not all. Assume for a moment that we have an accident which is extremely remote, and which I comider It is unfair to advance ai an argument, I say without fear of contradiction we would be able to carry on by nunlng our load at the duration of the peak. For by the ilmple proceaa of illghtly overloading the units we now have as s standby, and Informing the Civic Centre ice man that he must make his Ice off peak load, the trick is solved for the duration of an accident and thereby remove! for a number of yean the necessity of a new unit. At times such as this it ii not unusual to tik a little cooperation from consumers, who 1 am quite sure would be more than pleased during repairs to curtail a little use of electricity at peak load periods, particularly it tn doing so saving ot approximately $13,000 per annum (which la what this bylaw will cost) will accrue to the City. In other words, we now have, by reasonable use ot our preient resources, a 100 per cent standby equipment, In case of accident. Item No. 3—The methods employ ed by the Mayor and Council in ar riving at their' decision for the by law, I venture to suggest, are not quite those used by a company, or even an ordinary business man. It may be even news to the Council that we are now In a power age, and that power plant construction is almost standardized, all factors being known, and may be purchaied under a commercial competitive bid system. There are no Inherent features peculiar to the Nelaon plant that are not covered In the ordinary process of bidding, with such firms as General Electric, Westinghouse, Al- lls-Chalmcrs and English Electric, all of them with a reputation above reproach. ONE FIRM ONLY It Is necessary, however, to secure competitive bidding for the City to draw up a simple specification of requirements covering the main features, and aurely this could have been done by our electrical engineer. B.ut no, the Council have gone ahead with one firm to the exclusion of all othen, and this firm has sent out its own engineers, made out its own specifications and plans, submitted Its bid on Its own findings, without any competition. The Council will Inform you that they are not legally committed to this firm, but I submit that the unnecessary expense and outlay caused to this firm in making up its tender morally places It ln a preferential position in the minds of the Council, and whether you like It or not places within the sphere of this firm the opportunity of a bid without competition, which sometimes ls more than human nature can withstand. The average price per horse pow- er developed on the Kootenay River is somewhere between $75 and $90, with everything Included.

There li lomething out of line lomewhere to the tune of from $15,000 to $20,000, a condition I lubmil no business man would dream of doing in his own business, Can Nelson afford luch a luxury? Item No. 4—War condition.—During the last war many of the business men in Nelson will appreciate the conditions in this vicinity, when the West Kootenay Power & Light Company was constructing two of its plants. In point of fact, we hardly felt the depression of the readjustment period. This condition is absent this time, and while one hesitate! to be a prophet of gloom, we have many dark days ahead, and jiaybe many of our good citizens will be faced with * tax bill they cannot pay and in addition require food and clothing. Lucky will be the city or town that through the foresight of its Mayor and Council has conserved its credit and bank account to the extent of being able to take care of such a condition without impairing its stability. Finally, my real plea In this whole question, is a plea for cooperation, and not conflict or fault finding, for conflict is essentially destructive. Moreover It encourages motives of envy, hate and suspicion which in themselves are not conducive, of social soundness end prosperity. But in making this plea, do let us be open and frank with each other, with all the cards on the table, thereby arriving at our conclusions through intelligence for the f;ood of the community ln which we ive, and not through fear of what the other fellow has up his sleeve or .for want of information on anybody's part.
