FLEETS OF FIVE r OWERS NEAR DARDANELLES Allied and U.S.Fleets Watching Japanese ITALIAN PAPERS TURN ON ALLIES; BOOSTING NAZIS Four Classes of Men Once Rejected Are Called Up HOME, April 17 (AP)-Pro-Ger- man sentiment swept the Italian Press today, editorial and news columns alike belittling the Allied military power and playing up Nazi claims ol successes in Norway. Against this background, the official Gazette tonight published a decree formally authorizing the sailing up of Italians of four classes, who previously were rejected or only partially trained. This action was foreshadowed .nore than a month ago. The number of men involved was not indicated. Those affected are in the classes of 1911, 1912, 1913 and 1914. Aside from the press campaign wu little to indicate any deterioration of Anglo-Italian relations during the last 24 hours. Investigation failed to confirm widespread rumors of demonstrations against Britain and France in various Italian cities. British and French spokesmen here attributed the reports to German propaganda agents. Premier Muuollnl'i spokesman, Vlrglnlo Gayda, writing In II Gi- ornalfl d'ltalia, wai among the editors who pursued a policy of sarcastic deprecation of the Allies' military proweu. The newspaper Regime, Fascist* owned by Roberto Farlnaccl, member of the Fascist Grand Council, criticized Italians who sympathize with the Allies. Regime Faaolsta cited an incident ln a Milan movie, in which four spectators at a picture reviewing thc first six months of the war applauded "at the wrong times". The film was composed largely of news- reel shots" of British, French and German forces and attracted many moviegoers, before it was withdrawn suddenly. Shirras Succeeds Cruickshank as < B.C. Police Head Serious Possibility of Attempt to Seize Dutch Indies Expected if Germany Invades the Netherlands SHANGHAI, April 18 (Thursday) (AP) .—Authorities of the British, French and United States fleets said today tha, a Japanese attempt to seize the Dutch East Indies in the event of a Cerman invasion of the Netherlands is a "serious possibility." The British.and French forces in the Far East were said to be prepared for any eventuality. "If Japan could be certain that Russia would not jump on her back, it is highly possible that the Japanese would act," —tsa*d one neutral naval obser- Italy Is Warned lo Take Neutral Attitude by Cross LONDON, April 17 (CP Cable).- Ronald Cross, Minister of Economic Warfare, tonight called attention to the "hostile" tone of the Italian Press and declared in a apeech at Sheffield that if Italy wishes to be treated as a neutral she should behave as one. The 43-year-old Minister, who directs the blockade of Germany, expressed the opinion that Germany might attack Sweden within the next month to obtain her sources of iron ore. He urged the Swedes not to be taken by surprise, adding: "We are ready to help her but she must be ready to help herself." His references to Italy were regarded in London as particularly significant because of the anti-British tone of the Italian Presj this week. He described this tone as "hostile." "That makes us reflect upon the attitude of Italy toward us," Mr. Crass said. "We have no quarrel with Italy. We have every wish to be friends. But we are a plain-dealing and plain-speaking people. We should like to know where we stand with Italy." London has looked with concern upon Rome during the last few days and the Minister's speech may have diplomatic repercussions, Britain has been anxious to determine whether tone of the Italian Press reflected the viewpoint of Premier Mussolini's administration or whether Italy had something else on its mind and was using the controlled Press of the nation as a cloak. It is believed here that realization of two facts by Mussolini and the Italian people may act as a restraining influence, the extent of the British naval victory over German seapower and. secondly, the inability of the German air force to It VICTORIA, April 17 (CD-Inspector John Shirras. in charge of I """i"'J«V"~.~ "" "" the Kamloops division of the Br,tub I combat Bn!a;n' J" supremacy .. u_ .L_ j ls sutfuested that when these fi Columbia Police, will be the new Assistant Commissioner of the Provincial force, Attorney General Wismer announced today.

GERMANS BOMB DOWNS SHIPPING LONDON, April 18 (Thursday). (CP)— Numerous German bombers wer* reported early today tc have attacked shipping In the Downs, Britain'! big Engllih Channel contraband control point. The sound of heavy firing and the roar of the Intercepting elr- planes was heard along tbe Southeast i >i'. The News Chronicle said the fir "A Japanese thrust Southward probably would result in Japan entering the war on the side of Germany." "If the Japanese decide the probabilities favqr their success they may occupy the Islands, using the same excuse as Adolf Hitler used ln Denmark and Norway." (That the Allies are planning the same thing). Summing up the possibilities, naval officials said a number of factors favor the likelihood of Japanese action in the form of a lightning stroke timed to coincide with a German drive into the Netherlands, First and foremost, they said, It Japan's "unconcealed ambition" to get control of the East Indies oil. rubber and tin supplies, thus making her Independent of foreign supplies, "If the East Indies could be grabbed In a swift, successful stroke," these sources added, "Japan's dreamt of dominating the Western Pacific and the ousting of European colonial powers would be well on the way toward realization overnight" It was contended by naval observers here that the Japanese navy, ln contrast to the Japanese army, haa not been weakened by the war in China. "The navy is cocky and full of fight tnd believes IU easy lan/lngs in China could be duplicated ln the East Indies," these persons said. "Trie navy likewise apparently is convinced the East Indies could be subjugated before the British- French forces could swing Into action, therefore the present is most auspicious for ■ Japanese gamble. "Proponents of action by Japan also probably believe that if a quick coup is accomplished, ana Uie United States public is presented with a fait accompli, the United States will not retaliate." Japanese political agents have been reported active In an effort tu snape up an anti-Dutcn campaign among n^ast Indian nauves, uiou- sands of whom belong to secret pro Japanese and Pan-Asiatic societies. On the other hand, these three faciort were pointed to as presenting a deterrent to the Japanese; 1. Japan's constant preoccupation with Soviet Russia ana the prospect that fighting might be resumed at any time, as it has sporadically lor years, on the boundary between Sovie-Jzeu Outer Mongolia and Japanese-dominated Mancnoukuo. 2. The possibility that Japan would be plunged into war wiui Britain and France, with the Netherlands on the Allied side in the event of a German invasion of that low country. 3. The possibility that the United Statea might act to protect its com* municaUons and trade Unes to thc Philippines and to Its "sources of raw materials ln the East Indies. HEAVY FIGHTING RAGES ON NORTH FRONT, NORWAY Allies and Norwegians Pound at Germans on 20-Mile Stretch By THOMAS F. HAWKINS Anoclated Preu Staff Writer STOCKHOLM, April 17 (AP)- Combined Allied and Norwegian Jorces tonight blasted strong German forces along a 20-mile stretch above the Arctic .Circle, from the zone about the Port of Narvik to the Swedish border, while in the South the Nazis sought to strengthen their positions behind a potential defence line all the way across Central Norway. Heavy fighting raged throughout the day on the Northern Front with the Allied Expeditionary Force Joining the disorganized Norwe* Slans in the offensive against tht ermans. The Germans were said to be ln command ot the ore rail line from Narvik to and including BJoernfJell, last station on the railway just on the Norwegian side of the Swedish frontier, where 100 Norsemen were killed in a Nazi air raid. Some military observers In Stockholm believed that Norway's ultimate fight must be decided in the fighting at Bergen, Oslo and Trondheim and by sea and air attacks In that Southern and central theatre of war. As R.A.F. Bombed Bergen Oils advices claimed the newly organized "Government" Committee In Oslo hat assumed control of the German-held capital', id- mlnlitratlon with the approval of King Haakon. The Norwegian Commander-in- Chief issued a communique saying U-e Norwegians were holding their positions on both sides of the long lake, Mjosen, which stretches South of Hamar, and that the Fosseim Fortress, 70 miles West of Hamar in Central Norway, still was in Norwegian hands. In the Begna Valley, however, he admitted the "enemy had some success" and that In the H»deland District, just South of Lake Mjosen, the Norwegians retreated to new positions. "On all fronta We took prisoners, probably about IM. Several German planes were shot down," the communique said. Taken from one of the Royal Air Force bombers participating In the raid, this aerial view shows Nazi seaplanes moored in the harbor of Bergen as R. A. F. bombers roared over the Nazi-held Norwegian city. A German cruiser of the Koln class was believed to have been struck during the raid and sunk. A munitions warehouse was also blown up. This pictur-i was flashed to New York by radio from London.

F. SANDERSON Canadian Pren Staff Writer LONDON. April 17 (CP).-The United Slates of Europe, built aruund an Anglo-French Federation, may arise from the ashes ol this war. A federation of Britain and France, involving political, mill- | tary and economic fusion, is prac-1 tically a certainty. ]f other nations, such as tht! Scandinavian countries, Holland, lielKiwri and j Switzerland, can be persuaded l<> \ join the union, lhe world will see something that men hove \ dreamed about for generations—' the United Stales of Europe. The first step would be a federation between Britain and France, an extension of the present alliance into a peace-time union. I At the present time Britain and France have a joint military policy,, economic and financial agreement* They operate their colonial Empires with i'< instant consultations and their foreign policies, merged in; the gerirr.il war effort, are synonymous For all practical purposes. Britain and France are operating a*- a single nation in everything but local matters, ■ Ai symbols of thii war-time; fusion, Anglo-French itampi will he iuued ihortly. London and i Parii ire considering lnuing Joint currency ai viilblo evidence of the welding of the financial tyi- tern of the two natloni. When peace comes, whether it be a peace dedicated to Germany or negotiated among the belligerent powers, the Allies will be face-to- face with three major chuices: 1. Germany can be split into small States and tendered impotent as a further threat to peace of Europe, The objections to this plan, althougn it finds favor among the French public, are that commercial life in Europe would be damaged by establishment of a multiplicity of small, impoverished States and, in thc second place, a strong Germany, operating on a sane foreign policy, is a guard against an Imperialist Russia. 2. Germany can be policed and held in semi-conquest This plan was tried after Versailles and it f;iiled dismally for a variety of reasons, 3. Germany can be forced tn revert to her pre-1938 frontiers and confronted with either an Anglo-French federation or a bloc of united European nations which. in the aggregate would be . TUinrnTAXT stronger, more populous, richer J^ [J lYlDllK 1 iJIN and with greater resources than the Reich - each of them dedicated to the common cause of keeping peace in Europe, This third choice is the mns! likely one to be selected at the end of the war. It would mean a reversal of Britain's isolationist policy, pur sued after th-" last war. It would mean a continuation of compulsory military service in this country during peace tune. Il would mean the end of |he League of Nations as f developed after Versailles. But it would also mean peace for Europe and, in the words of the Anglo- French pledge, "an international order will ensure the liberty .if peoples Und) respect for law," Antiques or pumps for dress or sports wear.

STOCKHOLM, April 17 (CP- Havas),—The newspaper Tidningen reported today that German Fore.gn Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop is preparing to go lo Morcow for another attempt to create a Rome-Ber- lin-Moscow axis. To gain ihi-s end, the report said. Germany is now willing to give the Soviets a free hand in Bessarabia, the Rumanian Province claimed by the Russians ever since 1918. Moscow was represented as be-, lieving, however, that this new attempt would have no more success than the previous attempt to bring Soviet Premier Molotoff to Berlin, Economic aid from the Soviets to Germany is continuing, but upon no impressive scale, the Tidningen said.

April 17 - While manv residents of the new Warfield Subdivision felt they should share In lhe benefit** of thit provision of the National Housing Act. which ae-eka to encourage construction of housei by relief from i portion of the real eitate tax. word from Ottawa stated that the exemption can only be applied when the house was built by the owner for his own occupation, W.

Ml per cent in the second year and 5.1 per cent in thc third year," Mr. Esling explained. TOOK UP QUESTION The Kootenay West member has had the matter before Ihe minister at Ottawa with the conttntlon that while the houses In lhe Warfield subdivision wore built by the C. M * S. the conditions of tenancy and sale were such as to make it poi- sible for the present owneri to acquire them, and that in no other way could the occupants become owners. In other wordi, the company acted in the role of a lending agency on terms and conditions noi uiually available through lending companlei, and thus permitted ten- anti to become owntrs Tn* department it Ottawa replied that while there might be iome Justification In assuming thai thest houici complied with the termi ol Ihe National Homing Act the facli were that from a ilrlc "In the case of the Warfield Subdivision." the director told Mr. Ealing, "as I undentand the details. title to the property for it leas-. one year remains in the name of the Consolidated Mining 4 Smeltlnc Company, and the contract for the construction was entered Into by this company. Under these circum- stancea. I cannot aee where we have any right to assume that thla case qualifies under this Act. In my opinion the benefits of thla Act cinnot be extended to the amployeei of the Consolidated Mining U Smelting C mpanv, even though they now own and occupy their own homei."

"If we had not gone to wir when we d:d, we would have betrayed our own idealism and European civilization."' Sir Neville called "profoundly true" a statement of foreign Secretary Viscount Halifax that the real conflict is "between youth and youth." 'The most fanatical of Hitler's supporters," Sir Neville said, "are to be found among German youth, hypnotized as thry have heen for the last seven years hy Nazi doctrines of politics and racial superior- ity, taugnt as they have b-trn tn disregard all Christian, moral and intellectual values and -submit their Mills and bodies to almost idolatrous worship of their leader." 11.00 will MM JOO&wwl Cetm (* 1 IK OM Virginia prp* to6«T* Is C-Vt«4iana awing In Unit*!

ARNOLD Canadian Pren Correspondent PARIS (CP)—Til mid-April and Spring In wartime. Everyona in France, be he or aha citizen, re- fugeo or touriit, ia being provided with a food rationj card The "official" as the governmental weekly newi bulletin is known has confirmed lt with five pates devoted to regulations governing the different categories of cardi, Until something appears in the "official" no notice is taken of i^ If ln the past individuals ln Paris felt twinges of embarrassment at the thought of being called a work er today everybody is eager to get into that privileged class. , After a certain number of spe cial categories, notably those at children from three to 12, people on medically prescribed dirts, the rest of the population i| divided into two classes— workers" and "adults." The ration card which bean the magic letter "t" li the prize. The "t" stands for "travailler (worker) and thole who have thii card-are entitled to more substantial food rations, Simple and unprivileged adults muit get along with less. HEAVY WORKERS There have been many chucklei ln Paria over the lilt of people io bt found under the "t" heading in the Official. Flea trainers, sword iwallowers and bearded ladies are aolemnly noted aa heavy workers Super-rations are accorded to industrial workers, road-builders, brick lajren, carpenters and farm laborers of coune. The special favor ii extended to rat-catchers, breeders, of leeches and employees of funicular railways. Show people and sportsmen are generally entitled to the ipecial card—-danceri, clowns, boxen, a«C ilta of rinks, and spots fieldi, clrcui riders, trapeze artfiti wrestlers are among them. The ''forts des Halls'' are particularly mentioned. These are the atrong men of the city marked who sling half an ox jauntily on one ihoulder and itrlde off with it, or toat a 100-pound big of onions into a cart with but a flip of the ■mist But house painters, chimney iweepi, boiler-maxeri, cartwrlgnts and plg-itickers are ihown alio to be in need of extra quantities of food. Lace makers, hat makers, dressmakers, are excluded from the favored and have to be content with the regime of ordinary mortals like bankers, financier!, businesi directors, university profesiors, politicians and journalists who are not supposed to use up any energy because their work is lighter or intellectual. These are relegated io category "a"—or "adult" and consequently to smaller rations. The rulei for pastry alcohol, bonbons and meat are already ln full force and the tint reactfoni flit. The cafes whose long zinc counters used to be piled wfllh platei of pastry, tarts and bum, now hold sticks of buttered bread and crust/ croissants. Some cafe proprietors with a spurt of genius have tried to replace thc vanished pastry with plates of bread and butter liberally smeared wilh jam. These are spread temptingly within arm's reach. But the real inspiration has been the new and strange assortment of sandwiches. Up until the introduction of rationing the sandwich in France has been a despised and inglorious cous in of tht large and varied family of sandwiches to be found ln Canada. A stick of French brtad IS In- t-hes long—elictd up tht middle tnd slabs ot chetae or nam wtdgtd between wai (tailed a aandwlch. Nothing elegant or refined about it. Tht Anglo-Saxon In Paris who ordered a aandwlch found himself obliged to grip lt firmly ln both handi, open hla mouth five lnchea in order to takt an embarrassed bite. The ntw sandwich hn appeared more or less of a success. It la a sort of open-faced affair. Typical ia the one with a lardint on one corner, a mound of red cabbage mixed with mayonnaise, a bit of chetae. a slice of tomato and a ring of boiled egg. The hungry Parlilan whole habit tt la to swallow two or three creamy pastries at four o'clock il now to Be seen eyeing the new concoctiom with some suspicion. It usually ends up by hla lending hit wife in lo try ont before venturing Into thli unknown and perhapi dangerous gastronomic territory. Pre-NatalCare... Diel Should Contain Iron By LOQAN CLENDENINa,_M. D. Should an expectant mother eat fooda containing Iron? Yes, and she should also sometimes take pure iron in addition to iron-containing fooda. Among the most important result! of the recent intensive Interest in the study of blood -conditions has been to show the frequency of a certain type of anemia in pregnant women due to Iron-deficiency. It li part of the routine job of an obstetrician when he first examines an expectant mother to make an examination of the blood, and this ihould bo dont at frequent Intervals during the entire progress of the pregnancy. This is one of the important duties of the modern doctor in carrying out what is known ai prenatal care. The public should be educated in this and the mother should cooperate with the doctor by submitting to monthly visits so that her condition may be checked frequently during the period ihe li carrying the child. Doei exposure to sunlight add anything to the body? One of the early theories of the nature of light described by Newton was that It consisted of s number of fine particles Thii was the so-called "corpuscular theory". Later lt wai decided that light was a mode of motion, but in modern days it seems to have changed its ground and gone back to the Newtonian theory that sunlight it a substance, fint partlclei in rapid motion — the most rapid motion known, 186,000 miles per second. Sunlight definitely has an effect on the body. The sun's rayi are tha greatest source of energy known. The green leave! of tht vegetables are the moit efficient trap for this energy, and when we eat green vegetables and fruit, we acquire by indirect methods some of the lun'a energy. Thli, however, ihould always be supplemented by exposure to the sun Itself. FOR BETTER POSTURE Exercises to correct faulty poiture. (1) Raise the arms over the head, stretching to fullest capacity, Bend backward, aa tar ai possible, then bend forward, touching the ground with the knucklti. (2) With hands on the hips, twist the body from the waiit only, to the right. Try to look on the ground over the shoulders. Repeat left. (3) Stand erect with tht armi held to the side. Bend tht body slde- wayi to the ritfht Repeat left. (4) Sit on a low stool and bend the body backward ilowly. In regaining the upright position, this movement ilso strengthens the abdominal muscles. Man was supposed to live ln tht sun. It actually create! food. Experiments have shown that when guinea pigs are given a prepared food which lacki leverel tlementi necessary for maintaining life and health, and are kept ln the dark on this diet, they row deformed and crippled. But it they era placed In the sunlight for half an hour, even though they are on thii aame diet, they grow in t healthy way; tht bones grow well and no crippling occurs. Even when the crippled guinea pigi art placed In the sun- ihine, they begin to improve immediately without making any change ln their diet. The ultra-violet rays of lunllght are a very efficient, vitalizing agent. Pneumonia, Influenza, tnd other infection! are most prevalent In tht f:eographical regions whtrt sun- ight Is absent a large part of tha time. dfall&MCWSLL ■y BETSY NEWMAN MADE IN VANCOUVER TODAY*!

ORDER A BAG OF QUAKER FLOUR TODAY! FOR THE SERIAL SEE PACE SIX Well-Trained Child... Child Should Be Trained Respect Parents' Rights By Garry Cleveland Myare, Ph.D. Mother had counted on that half- cake (or dinnar, but Juat whan dinner waa about ready ahe discovered that nearly all the cake had disappeared. Jean and her school mates nad eaten lt early ln the afternoon. Juat 10 minutes before lunch on Saturday her 20-year-old daughter arrived with an unexpected luncheon guest. At 8:00 one evening Bill remembered he had to have a costume made for the play to be put n by hia class for the PTA next day. He expected his mother to make it Next evening, at dinner Hubert announced: "I must have the car tonight" Mother replied, "Dad and I planned to use the car and take In a show." "But Mother, I have a data!" In every one of these situations argument would, at the time, do no flood. The damage had been done, f the mother were wise, she met the problems silently, calmly, patiently, and made the most of them. SOURCE OF TROUBLE But something had happened during the earlier weeks, months and years. Jean had eaten things meant for dessert before without taking the trouble first to find out If she should. *It hardly had occurred to her that she was doing anything irregular or Inconsiderate In bringing home to lunch an unexpected guest. Bill had oiled upon his mo- flier many a time before, no doubt, and with no more warning, to do things for him "right away. Hubert too, was only running true to form. Following each of the foregoing Incidents, tne mother's rights could have been laid before the offending youth objectively, when all concerned were calm and reasonable. Even then the youth might have been entirely blind to the mother's right*! or unwilling to look squarely at them. Practiced so long in gratifying his own wishes first he might not be Inclined to choose self-sacrifice, even In tha light of reason. Let parents of the much younger child, especially of the baby, begin now to train him so he won't act as these children. Guided well, the child learns early ln his school yesrs to find out beforehand what he and his pals may or may not eat, whether the food In the pantry or refrigerator is available for them or reserved for later use. Guided well, the child learns that although he should often bring his friends Into the home for a meal, he should Invite these friends only after he hu made arrangements at home. Guided well, tiie child who needs the help of his mother for making costumes and the like for school will let her know about his needs as early as possible. And as for the family car, the youth who In childhood had learned self- denials and consideration for his parents, will first learn if the family car is available for him before he makes the dste. Guided well, he will have learned that ln the use of the car his parents have the first place.

Trip Is Advised for Lonely Widow By CAROLINE CHATFIELD Dear Miss Chatfield: Four years a widow and not a date yet! My friends all think I wouldn't look at a man because I was happily married and remained In mourning for three yean following my husbsnd'i death. I thought that too for a long time. Now I realize that life is going on and I am living a eolltary existence which I do not enjoy. What can a timid, old- fashioned widow do to get the attention of men her age? Of course you know there aren't many elngle men lying around loose ln s small town but there must be a way for me to find another companion. I'm not a bad looking woman. When I wu a girl I had plenty of beaus which makes me think I am not without attraction for the men. Questing. Answer: What about the old bank account? Can lt stand the strain of'a cruise or a trip to far places? If so, get a ticket and take off. Not that a trip will necessarily net you a husband but that It will get you out of the rut give you a new slant on things and people and perhaps open doors to new acquaintanceships which will ultimately yield desired results. In case there's no cash for safari, the old home town probably offera better opportunities than you realize. Only the young and the beautiful can risk going straight to the point of snaring the men. The less lucky ladles have to go around Robin Hood's barn. For Instance any sort of work; work for pay in an office or voluntary work In civic and charitable enterprises neceaarlly throws a woman Into contact with men. They ara uiually attracted to her If ahe shows herself competent without being too aggressive. Men have an Instant admiration tor smart women but for the long pull they prefer aweetneaa to smartness. So there's the first step around Robin Hood's bam: by hook ,or crook to get out where the men a're and to let the eligible men know you are in tha mood for friendly conversation and gay companionship. With a home a„ background and base of operations there's ne reason why a widow shouldn't find what ahe's looking for. It's Leap Year, lady, and mott of the eligible men already have avid feminine eyea fixed upon thetn. There's no time to lose. . . . Luck to youl , Soap and Soda End Sore ■y DONNA GRACE When ona la troubled with annoying cold or fever sorea, there Is always the frantic urge to get rid of them as quickly as poa. Ible. And though the family physician can tell us what to do. tew of us want to take up his time for ao minor a matter, and so use home remedies Instead. One of the home remedies we like is the bicarbonate of soda and soap and water method. If you have a raid or fever blister, this Is the way to treat it: Make a heavy lather of soap and warm water and rub well Into the apot If the blister breaks at that time lt will do no harm, as the soap and water will act as an antiseptic. After a thorough soaping, pat dry and cover with bicarbonate of soda for an hour, then apply the soap lather again. One should never puncture the lip when there ls a blister, as the «car will be an unsightly blemish .ntil it disappears. Nor should you rub the infected spot The soaping ahould be confined to the spot alone Physicians tell us that cold sores may not be due to a cold but rather to a disturbance in the digestive tract Or else it Is nature's way of sohwing that she ia allergic to certain foods. If the latter ls the case, we can check on the foods and find out what Is the cause.

Contrary to other years, no trucks were sent out to collect the refuse Wednesday, although a large number ot individuals used their autos or trucks to haul away their accumulations. But five trucks will be on the job first thing this morning to pick up that refuse put out in convenient places.

APRIL 18. 1940- King and Queen Watch Canadians Unit Mount Guard By EDWIN JOHNSON Canadian Preii Staff Writer LONDON,. April 17 (CP Cable)- In a history-making ceremony, a hand-picked detachment o( Canada's famed Royal 22nd Regiment marched proudly past their King today as they took over guard duties at London's Royal Palaces. Buckingham and St. James'. They will mount guard tor the next four days and then will be relieved by the Toronto Scottish for a limllar period. Wearing battle drew and ateel helmets, and their gaa masks at the ready, the boys of the Vlngt-Deuxi- eme drew the admiration of the crowd as they swung smartly Into the palace forecourt headed by the Brass Band of the Grenadier Guarda and the Fifes of the Welsh Guards. As they entered tha gates, the King and Queen, smiling broadly, appeared at a balcony. They remained there to witness the novel scene—the second time ln history when men from the senior Dominion have come to guard His Majesty's person. The last occasion was during the Coronation when members of the Canadian contingent took over the guard for 24 hours, along with representatives of the other Dominions. For the first time since Norman days, the guard was changed to deep-throated orders delivered in Engllah and French. The Canadians then went through the impressive changing ceremony, slow marching to a point opposite the old guard— a company of the Welsh Guards— to the strains of "Men of Harlech". Following presentation of arms, the major of the old guard stepped forward and handed the King's keys to Captain Gerard Charlebois, Commander of the Canadians. Thia phase of the ceremony ended. Their Majesties retired into the palace. A few minutes later, Hon. Vincent Massey, Canadian High Commissioner in the United Kingdom, Major-General A. G. L. McNaughton, General Officer Commanding the First Division, Canadian Active Service Force, and the latter's aide, Lieut-Colonel A. E. Walford, were ushered into the Palace to be received by the King and Queen. During the traditional Interlude, the Grenadiers' Band serenaded the crowd wilh a medley of popular French airs, including Alouette, Madclon, Vive la Canadienne, and En Roulant Ma Boule. Later thc King, in an Admiral's uniform, came out of the palace and stood in the forecourt watching the Canadians being posted as sentries Sister Mary Leila, Rossland, Vice-Pres. New Hospital Assoc.

CHAPTER 11 The reporter had his motorboat going again, before I recovered my power of speech. "Haven't I got anything to say about this?" I asked him ln a hoarse whisper that sounded like the voice of someone else. The girl wu pushing a sweater under my head to pillow It. "What would you like us to do?" she Inquired. "I've got to report to the police," I told her. "They think I'm a murderer. They think I ran away. I didn't. I was kidnapped." "The way you were tied up," said the reporter, with a grin, "anyone who would suspect you of running away would be—" "We'll tell them how we found you," the girl assured me hastily. You don't have to worry about that. We have to take you to a doc- tor." She had wet a handkerchief and was trying gently to wash some of the Wood from my face. She wasn't much more than 20 years old, I judged; a slim girl with golden brown hair that fluffed down to her shoulders. She wore a bright blue sweater with short sleeves. She moved with assurance. Her arms were strong. She eased me to a more comfortable position, "You're In no condition to oe worrying. That's an ugly mt you have in your scalp. It's a wonder If you haven't got a concussion." The reporter had lashed the wheel of the boat and was bending over my legs. "Here, what's this? A* bullet hole!" The girl swiftly Joined him as he slashed a hole in my trouser leg with his knife. My clothes were ruined anyway. "Just nipped him," observed the newspaper man. He grabbed the leg and turned lt to see better. "Hurt?" "What do you think?" I asked, gritting my teeth. The girl pushed him away. "As a nurse, Mr. Belzer, you would be a good cowhand." She washed the wound with the rest of the water. It stung like fury. I could have drunk that water with pleasure, too. "The bullet only grazed vour leg," she said. "No damage done Who was shooting at you?" "I wish I knew." 'There are t lot of things a lot of people would like to lenow," the reporter assured me, "and I'm just the guy what's goln' to tell 'em." He rubbed his hands. "Belzer of The Morning Eagle gets an exclusive! You may not realize It, but you are about to win me a raise In salary!" The girl raised her eyebrows- slim eyebrows, but unplucked. She had a very unusual and attractive face. "You've no right to keep this story to yourself until tomorrow morning." "Listen, Gorgeous, I promised to help you If you'd help me. Here's your chance. We take this guy lo your house. I get his story. He gets a chance to have you apply lina ment and bondages—not hard to take if I say so myself—and tomor row morning the police learn all about it, in The Morning Eagle, and we deliver him straight to the police station." "I still think you ought to ask me something about it," I told him. "I've got to prove I was kidnapped, they still think I ran away. And you've no right to delay justice." "Delay Justice? I like that! You spill your story to Belzer of the Eagle and you'll get to the bottom of this mystery faster than the police will take you." "Modest young man," observed the girl "We've gel to notify the police and that's all there is to it" The reporter growled to himself; "Well, here we are at the landing. Ail ashore that's going ashore. Ana, Gorgeous. If you'll Just drive your car as close to the river's edge as possible we won't have such a lonz way to assist this controversial hunk of—" "And my car Is going straight to the police station from here," the girl informed him. She leaped lightly to the flat rock beside which he had stepped, evidently a mooring place he knew well. He tied ropes to trees, fore and aft, and helped me to my feet. The boat was pressed firmly against the rock, but I staggered as it seemed to roll under me. "Take it easy there," he warned me. "You're no featherweight and I can't guarantee to hold you if you start to fall." My left leg may have been merely creased by the bullet, but I had t* fight to keen it from caving un- r'er me when I put my weight on lt. "Don't let that worry you." my rescuer encouraged me "I'd be twice ss shaky as you sre if I'd been pulled out of lhat river like ynu were" The girl wss driving a green roadster expertly down a steep path from the farmhouse on the bank. We had to walk only half a dozen steps. She wanted to help me In. but I managed to grin and shake my head, which Immediately began to go around again. I stumbled and practically fell Into the seat. A fine pair of bull-headed men you are," the girl told us. "Climb In, Mr. Belzer, and we'll head for a police station." "I don't like to argue with a lady" said the reporter as the car spun Its wheels, then took hold on the steep path, "but I might point oul that our friend here has been shot at, knocked on the head, and practically drowned. He's in no condition to go to any police station. If you've ever seen those doctors work In a police station—" Tha flrl frowned. She slowed the ear as It came to the top of the rise. "You may be right about that. But It's our duy to—" "I tell you what' 'he suggested. "You give me a note for the police and you being who you are, the police may pay some attention to what you say. Explain this guy's ln no condition to be questioned and you'll hsve him down at the station tomorrow. Give the note to me." "And you'll get their opinion? That's satisfactory to me. There's only one answer they'll give you." "And I know Just the doctor to fix him up," Belzer declared. "You take this fellow straight home and I'll have a doctor there In half an hour." The girl brought the car ta a halt. From a compartment ln the dash she lifted a blue purse, opened It and took out a sheet of paper and I saw that lt bore a personal letterhead, but I didn't pry into her secret by attempting to read It. She wrote the note, folded It and handed It to Belser. "Okay," he aaid. "Better take Branham Street; we're not so likely to meet anyone. Drop me at the corner of Pierce and I'll take a bus Into town." I said nothing. What was there to say? Apparently I was nothing more then a piece of luggage. We let Belzer out at the dlslg- nated corner. "See you ln half an hour." he called cheerily, and waved to us as we drove away. I had an uncomfortable feeling that my troubles were net yet over. I turned my head and looked at the reporter, welting for his bus. He seemed to be tearing a paper to pieces and dropping It ln the gutter but I couldn't be sure.

Aid for Norway Sought In Trail TRAIL, B.C, April 17-Halfden Bothun ls making an appeal to Scandinavian people ln Trail, In conjunction with an appeal to Scandinavians In Canada and the United States, to organize voluntary relief societies to supply war-beleaguered Norwegians in Norway with food, now that their Southern markets are held by Germans. Mr. Bothun's scheme, as outlined in a letter to the Norwegian consul-general at Montreal, calls for each local relief organization to aand Ita collections to the consulate tor purchase ot Canadian wheat, oats and other food stuffs. GROW LITTLE POOD "Norwegians holding 700 miles of coastline Tn Northern Norway face atarvatlon u the German Invaders control Trondheim, Bergen and Stavanger, chief export ports for the North," explained Mr. Bothun. Much of Norway still held by Norwegians, Is beyond the Arctic Circle and lt is too cold to grow food extensively. Consequently the defenders' plight will become extremely serious unless a new source of food supply is found to compensate for the loss of the Southern Norway market "Norway did much to help and feed thousands of starving Europeans after the last Great War," said Mr. Bothun, "Surely she can expect help now that ahe needs it."

Long "As righteousness tendeth to life, so he that pureueth evil, pursueth it to his own death," from Proverbs 10: 19, provided a text for the Wednesday evening message of Evangelist Rev. J. W. Long of Spokane at the Bethel Tabernacle. Tne example of Moses, who chose to suffer affliction with the People ot God. rather than enjoy the pleasures of sin, and His subsequent reward, was used ln support of the Evangelist's urging to follow the ways of Christ in righteousness, tor sin would bring only penalty in death. Christ taken into life was the only power that enabled man to live righteously, he. said, for Christ not only gave pardon from sin, but freedom from its thraldom. "If any man is ln Christ, he is a new creature, old things are passed away and behold all things are become new." A fine quartet vocal number, "He Will Hold Me Fast", was a feature of the meeting.

MEMBER OF THE CANADIAN PRESS AND THE AUDIT BUREAU OF CIRCULATIONS. THURSDAY MORNING, APRIL 18, 1940. NEW CHAPTER IN THE NAVY'S ANNALS Accomplishments of the British Navy in the first week of the German "protective" war on Scandinavia have written a complete new chapter in the Navy's glorious annals. The" finest ships of the German Navy are at the bottom of the sea, along with numerous cruisers, destroyers, and troops and supply ships, and quite clearly the blow to Germany's fighting power is severe. Northern ports have been recaptured or isolated, and some bodies of German troops seem doomed unless the German forces can reestablish connections with them. A well equipped British Expeditionary Force has landed in Norway, and very speedily the small Norwegian Army will have competent help in dealing with the invasion, which so far has been successful only on the South coast. Laying of a mine field in the Baltic, the oft-designated "German lake," somewhat reduces that body's German character. While the sea battle is scattered over 1000 miles of coastline, and while the Germans are apparently able to get some convoys across to the Norwegian coast, it seems certain that the British sea superiority will in due course completely cut off the German Expeditionary Force from its home base. If Germany invades Sweden in order to \e able to re- enforce its forces in Norway, it will have another country fighting it. The German people of course are fed on stories of "victories" over the British sea forces, but it will presently be quite clear where the mastery of the sea lies. WHERE THE HALIBUT ROAM That international control can be effective in some fields is illustrated by the case of the Pacific Coast halibut fishery. There was a time when, under absence of regulation, the halibut banks were being rapidly depleted, through over-fishing, this fine deep-water flatfish, which feeds on the mussel ridges hundreds of miles off shore, being a very slow grower and slow reproducer. Today this fishery, which means so much to British Columbia, is well regulated, and its perpetuation assured. With the opening of the 1940 halibut fishing season on Apil 1 by the International Halibut Commission, a start was made in taking the quota of 48,000,000 pounds of fish off the British Columbia and Alaska coasts by a fleet of approximately 400 fishing vessels, about 250 of these being reported from American ports, and less than 150 from Canadian ports. Prince Rupert still leads the Canadian fleets in the number of boats, with about 70 vessels said to be fishing this season; though the larger vessels of the Vancouver fleet of about 55 are claimed to make the total tonnage of the Vancouver fleet greater. However, the big majority of Canadian vessels and many of the American craft, land their catches at Prince Rupert, on account of that port being the closest to the main halibut tanks through which shipments by railway can l>e made, and also having large cold storage facilities; though a number of the Canadian craft find a better market at Vancouver pays them to make the longer run, and some of the Vancouver boats fish off the North end of Vancouver Island, which is fairly convenient for reaching their home port. The halibut fishing boats did not all leave for the fishing grounds at the same time, but by mutual agreement the fleets at Vancouver and Prince Rupert were organized in four equal divisions for the sake of orderly marketing, and the catch of each vessel is limited by the number of men carried. The divisions of the halibut fleets left port at intervals of several days, and on their return a lay-over of 13 days is provided, with a somewhat shorter lay-over on subsequent fishing trips; though this layover may lie increased in proportion as the vessel has brought in much over her catch limit, and may be decreased if she i.s short of her catch limit. Vancouver boats are dispatched by the Halibut Marketing Board. There is always a race to be the first halibut boat back to Vancouver with her catch, on account of a good pr>:e for the first fish of the season on the market. If control bad not been introduced, conditions in tbe halibut fishery would approximate what would be thc case in our interior lakes if 90 per cent of all trout of spawning age were seined out, for the halibut is said to take 10 years to reach spawning maturity. Where the fish stock is depleted to tin- point where natural increase is not provided for, tho future is endangered. LOOKING BACKWARD . . —NELSON DAILY NEWS, NELSON, B. C —THURSDAY MORNINQ.

USUALLY, NOT ALWAYS LEADING trumps first Is what a suit declarer generally should do. There are two principal reasons, however, why he should not lead them at the outset of certain hands, and other reasons at other Umes. The most frequent cause for postponement ls the desire to use certain trumps for ruffing out losers or ruffing to set up a suit The next most frequent is probably the desirability of discarding a loser or two before giving up the lead In trumps. Sometimes these are combined ln one hand. + J 7 4 »8 73 J e A J 10 7 4 ♦ 98 »K J 10 ♦ Q85S f q JOT N. H "i s. 4A5i v'aqk ♦ 98 + K10 6 2 4 K Q 10 8 < »«* 4>K2 4.A8S3 (Dealer: South.

Glade The modern in life, the ancient ot days, and the beauty of the ear'.h are gathered together in the little! settlement c f Glade. The place is the | gift of the mountains and of the j river, Erosion of mounUin rock j in geologic times and the deeper! cutting cf the river to a lower level have produced those benches on which are placed in mathematical regularity of the villages of the Doukhobors, The old and black houses, built in two's and surrounded by the smaller sheds and buildings, give the scene and atmosphere of rural Russia. The communal groupings ;n these villages constitute a phase of social existance that dates back beyond our tunes. The earlier satisfactions of greater safety, greater economy and friendlier living have not given way to the desire for personal independence, individual liberty and more complete family privacy. There ls much to please the eye in Glade, and from the Shoreacres side the picture is superb. The pattern of fields, and villages, of ploughed land and intermittent orchards extends from the stony shore to a definite line at the foot of the mountains. The river sweeps onward in magnificence and the roar at the upper rapids is a delight to hear. In her dark moments and in the sunshine a great river reflects the moods which arise in human experience. "Old Man River" is one of our race. SOFT CURVE AND COLOR The ferry plies unceasingly and the colorful ferryman, with a friendly word to the travellers, performs his duties with a show of pride. Time has left the ferry old. The trimness of line which distinguishes the ncw is now gone, and the softness in col r and curve is pleasing to an artist's eye. How many people, colorful even as thc ferryman, meet daily on this old ferry! What talk and discussion take place? What hopes, fears, joya and sorrows are recounted! Conversation goes on In foreign tongue accompanied by the swish of the current, the creaking of pulleys and the jerk of the cable truck. Glade looks back to Shoreacres toward rockier hills. It sees thc passing trams on the lower bench and the swift moving cht- along the edge of the higher level. The speed of life is all on the Shoreacres side. The latest construction near the ferry is the aut malic water-gauge. It is made with that idea of permanence characteristic of all "West Kootenay" Construction. Surrounded with evidence of age, of iiard times, of declining agriculture, is this technically perfect device for service in a great power project.

C, April 12-Every- one who haa travelled the Cascade Highway by car has enjoyed to the full the scenic splendor which meets the eye at every turn in its winding passage over high summits and through deep valleys. To sit behind the wheel of a luxurious car and guide it over winding switchbacks, up one mountain, down another, and then repeat the process; to see open before you the expansive surface of Christina Lake, reflecting the rich blue of skies, Is indeed pleasurable. THE HARO WAY That same trip on skis was incomparably more arduous to Alfred Holm, LeRoi and Davis Streetv Rossland, and Claude Goldberg 2266 Riverside Avenue, Trail, yet it unfolded beauties of the Kootenays which only such a method of travel could unfold. They experienced danger;—yet the journey had its humorous side. One might wonder how two husky young men would come to undertake such a journey. As has been the spark which provides the word "go" to many an accomplishment, it was a challenge, a challenge flung at them by friends, not only to make the trip on skis but to cover the distance of 40 miles in one day. They made it and so far have been unable to learn of anyone else making the journey in a single day. EARLY START The pair left Rossland at 6 a.m. March 17 and arrived at Christiana Lake, at the ranch of Holm's father, at 8 p.m. after taking three hours out during mid-day when the snow was softened by a brilliant sun. Besides their skis and poles, they carried with them a light lunch and a camera fitted with a self-timer. Said Holm: "Several of our friends claimed that it was impossible for us to cover the 40 miles in one day. Although we found it to be quite a strenuous undertaking, we enjoyed every bit of it. We left Rossland at 6 a.m. The snow was crusty ani hard so we made very good time to within two miles of Sheep Creek, but then the snow was getting rather scarce so we had to walk to the creek. But when we reached it we found the road that might be termed a skier's dream, since it had not been used since last Fall. There wasn't a mark on the snow and it was perfect skin -*. We went right on up to the Second Summit before we stopped for lunch. By that time we were bcth rather tired and hungry since we had covered 25 miles. EARNED REST "It was a clear bright day and the sun was quite warm. The snow was getting rather soft so we decided to camp for about three hours till the sun set and the snow became crisp again to make it better going down lhe far slope. We were quite astonished to find that there was no more than ab^ut three feet of snow atop the Summit, and we surmised the road will be opened sooner <jis Spring than ever before, "When we finally broke camp it was about 4:30 p.m. Skiing was rather poor for about three miles, but the snow was firmer after that and we sailed right along to within about 3'-2 miles of Christina Lake. Wc were rather glad to gel off the This view of Christina Lake was taken near Fife. Mr. Goldberg Is pointing to English Point, popular Summer vacation rendezvous of Trail and Rossland folk. skis and walk for a change. We finally reached my Dad's place at Christina Lake by 8 p.m. "If you don't think we were tired you should try to ski 40 miles sometime," Holms chided. TUCKERED OUT "On arriving at the ranch Claude sat down on the edge of the wood box and somehow fell into it. Hc found it too much of an effort to get out so he just went to sleep until I managed to wake him a couple of hours later to get him to bed. "Next morning, our muscles were so sore that we could barely get around. We walked quite a bit thgt day and managed to limber up pretty well. By Tuesday morning we were all set to hit the trail again for our return trip. "The sun had been quite warm for the two days, making the snow much softer in places. Even so we made good time up to the summit. From there to Sheep Creek the snow was quite sticky. We found it rather hard going on the road so we struck down the pole line. NEAR CATASTROPHE "Once when my skis started go-- Ing a little too fast for comfort. I turned them across the side hili to slow up and I started quite an avalanche. The first thing I knew I found myself buried waLst-deep in snow. I had quite a struggle to get out, but once I got my skis out, it was only a matter of minutes until I was free again. Claude was some distance behind me so I shouted to him and drew his attention to the slide. Otherwise he would propably have landed on the bare rocks. BEANS EXPLODE "We reached Rossland at about 8 pm. and although we both thoroughly enjoyed the trip, we were glad to get back home. "The most comicsi part of the adventure occurred when we stopped at Sheep Creek for lunch. We had a tin of pork and beans which we decided we might just as well heat up before we ate them. We put the can near the fire but as luck would have it, forgot to punch a hole in the can to let the steam out. All at nnce there was a terrific bang and we found our beans scattered all over the countryside. rr?'

The age at which children should be taught to swim varies with the ; individual child, the instructor and I the water, A number of children i three years of age have been taught ' to swim, thr ugh four, five and six ■ years are better ages. E, H, Rossland—I wish to remove from walls old paper before putting on new. Can you suggest a quick and efficient way to do this? Some paper hangers remove old paper from walls by first dampening it with water In which a little baking s-da has been dissolved, the ! surface being (hen gone over with ! a scraper or other tool. However. I the principle object of any method is to soften the old paste. This may readily be accomplished by first wetting ;i section of the old paper with cold or tepid water, wing * brush and repeating the wetting until the paper nnd paste are soaked through, when the paper may be easily pulled off, nr if too tender, may be scraped with any instrument of a chisel form shoved between the paper and the wall. The wall should then be washed with clean water, this operation being materially assisted by wetting the wall ahead of the washing.

We hear the talk of busy men With pick and ihovel, pipe and line, Heading for the Winslow Mine. Scorgie going to and fro. Telling the miners where to go To find that precious ore; they must, Then mill it into fine gold dust. Richard, Jimmie, Scotty and Hall- Making the eld plugs hit the ball; To earn their oats they sure must pull, For Scorgie, he is no man'i fool. It nearly broke their hearts, I know, To break the trail through such deep snow, But willing hand and sturdy heart Inspired each man to do his part. They freighted supplies across the lake. And many's the time their knees did shake. Because the ice was getting rotten. It was a long way to the bottom. They lived a while in Noah'i Ark— So called just for a lark; It really was the old boathouse, Too chilly even fof a louse. Just now they're living In a tent, But all hands seem to be content. Work ls hard but grub is good, And Heaven knows there's lots of wood! Down for the mail, from the mine, Tiie SS Winslow braves the brine; When we hear the old boat settle. We kn-'w it's time to put on thc kettle. Here's wishing the partners lots of luck; To win gold there takes lots of1 pluck. If they (ffered a share I wouldn't decline, I wouldn't mind owning the Win- slow mine. NIC SARDICH. Nelson. B.C. Plant "Straws" for Fall Now I.R.A.

That statement was definitely established at a meeting ot the Nelson Maple Leaf boxla players at tho City Hall Wednesday night, snd all rumors to the contrary promptly squashed. The picture appears comparatively bright this year, as compared to last year when nothing was really settled until the schedule was about to open. Then Jock Walmsley arrived Just a night or so before the first league game, and utter a slow start Ihe Maple Leafs gained momentum lhat carried thorn to their second successive Interior title. SUPPORT OLD EXSCUTIVB Unanimously the players voted in favor of having the same executive handle the affairs of the club again this season, and this also blasted al! rumors regarding the status of the management. "They were really good" was the concensus of opinion, and they will be asked to hold office again this year. In the face of considerable adverse talk, thc executive decided not to attend the meeting io that they could not be accused of pushing their way back ln. However Jack Reld, Chairman ot the meeting and Manager of last year's team, the only executive member present, said that he waa confident all of the last year's executive were willing to stand again, and Reld was delegated by the players on Jack Bishop's motion, seconded by Bill Townsend, that the old executive act again, and that it be left to its discretion as to filling of vacancies. Arthur Baird now resided at Saskatoon, and it is possible that Murray Clark may not be here this Summer. Otherwise all the other executive memben, headed by Mayor N. C. Stibbs, President, were agreeable to continuing in office, 'That's halt the battle," said Freddy Graves, his remark being heartily indorsed by the rest of the players. WANT WALMSLEY There was considerable discussion revolving around who would coach the team this season. To a man the Leafs decided to recommend to the executive thc rehiring of Jock Walmsley, mastermind of the past two championship seasons, again. However, the executive will be asked to find out how the league will stack up this season before going out to get a coach. It was believed lhat Rowland was all set, but lacrosse seemed to be pushed into the background in Trail, but Trail almost certainly could be counted upon. When Jack Reld suggested that the Salmo Valley might place a team In the league, with home games to be played in the Salmo rink, Pete Bonneville replied that he was sure that no club would come from the Valley into the senior league for they seemed "to be satisfied with the fun they are having in their own circuit." In addition, teams in that distrct had lost a number of thcir best players. Dave Gibbons said that he had received a letter that day from Walmsley. who was on his way to Vernon from Vancouver after attending his father's funeral. The Leaf goalie said that Vernon had some sort of a proposition to offer Walmsley to stay in Vernon. Jock coached the B. C. champion Vernon intermediaU* hockey team in the Winter. However .lock would like to come back to Nelson. "m. V;- ¥i HUDSON'S BAY m SCOTCH WHISKY CosmUhVU, ■— •;% THU st..,,i ia \l\mf TMesa/UAsinjt.r >\\^< *f**>-T <?4, -n|LSOf4 DAILY NIW8, NILION, B.

Pope (alls for Prayer in May VATICAN CITY, April 17 (AP).- Pope Pius XII called upon Roman Catholics throughout the World today th pray to the Virgin Mary during May for the return of peace. The Pontiff's plea was made in a letter to his Secretary of State, Lulgi Cardinal Maglione, recalling he had requested a similar crusade of prayer last year when talk of armed strife, the fore-runner of war, held all in trepidation. "Now that the situation ls worse and that this terrible war has broken out," His Holiness wrote, "we cannot but call again on our children scattered throughout the World to gather around the altar of the Virgin Mother of God daily during the next month consecrated to her to offer suppliant prayer." The Pope said from the beginning of the war he had done everything in his power to champion to "restoration of that peace and concord which must be based on Justice and reach its perfection in mutual fraternity and charity." "Our heart is full of sorrow not only for the terrible calamities that overwhelm the countries at war but also for the evils every day more menacing then threaten other nations," the Pope said. —NIL»ON DAILY NEWS, NILSON.

Canadian Bacon Nol Needed Yet OTTAWA, April 17 (CP). - The Canadian Board, following an exchange of information with Britiih authorities during the past week, announced today that Great Britain Will not require any early additional Shipments of Canadian bacon to replace supplies cut off by German Invasion of Denmark. "No Indication has yet been given that Britain will at any time require greater quantities of bacon from Canada than are provided for in the present contract" said the Board ln a statement. Under the bacon agreement entered Into with Great Britain early tn the war, Canada undertook to export to the United Kingdom a maximum of 5,600,000 pounds of bacon and hams weekly. Germany's occupation of Denmark last week aroused ape-culstion in many quarters that Canada might ba called on to make up for Danish bacon supplies normally moving Into the United Kingdom.

Influence ot declining quotations ln United States wheat pits dragged the Winnipeg rtinge lower at the opening and buying support failed to develop during the day.

Advices from Moscow said only five per cent of the acreage expected to be planted by April 10 had completed seeding operations Canadian wheat export buyers apparently satisfied their demand with 12,000,000-bushel purchases yesterday and overseas business in the last 24 hours was confined to odd loads. Cash wheat traders were idle apart from a little business in No. 3 Northern for export shipment from Lakehead stocks at opening of navigation.

Blockade Hurts U.S. Foreign Trade By ANDRUE BERDINQ Anoclated Preu Staff Writer WASHINGTON, April 17 (AP>- Great Britain's blockades In the Atlantic and Pacific, coupled with President Roosevelt's extension of the combat area forbidden to United States ships, have interrupted or hampered American foreign trade involving almost $1,300,000,000 Other wartime hazards and restrictions—the threat of German raiders, a Japanese blockade in the Far East, the "cash and carry" provisions of the Neutrality Act — borst the figure even higher. Experts here estimate that more than half of the United States for- eign trade has been eliminated or affected. The 1939 foreign trade total was $3,177,344,138, The combat area keeps Americtn shipping from carrying goods to the country's principal market, Northern and Central Europe, where United States exports totalled fl,- 172,948.023 last year. Not even the New World Is free of restrictions. American ships may not g-j to certain portions cf Canada; they may not carry war materials to Canada, to the British or French West Indies, rr to Allied possessions elsewhere in the Western hemisphere.

Expenses of the night class totalled $122.22, which wai offset by fees amounting to $65 and purchase of supplies by pupils, of $11.72. It was expected that a government grant would be received to take care of the balance of expenditures. Mr. Snowball suggested that additional equipment be purchased from funds realized from future classea in order to replace equipment In use. Principal E. E. Perklni of Mac- Lean School, reported that Mac- Lean School had been broken into twice during the past two weeks, and a number of pen sets and other articles taken. The school was under police surveillance, he said, and he hoped to discover the culprits shortly. The Board agreed to Inspect the locks on the outaide doors with a view to barring the building more securely. The principal alao reported $80 had been realized from the recent concert put on by the MacLean School pupils in the High School Auditorium of which $30 had been paid on the school gramophone, the balance to be used toward furthering the musical activities of the school. The Board complimented Mr. Perkins and his staff on the well-organized program. "Especially the announcer—he made the whole show!" commented W. G. Mara, President The announcer waa Ronald Aiken. ASK MERCHANTS TO HELP Wesley McKenzie, Principal of the High School, aiked for cooperation from the storekeepers in preventing the sale of tobacco and cigarettes to the younger boys. The Board voted to have new blinds made for the old High School building, similar to those made for the new addition. Mr. McKenzie reported that Mrs. Cedric Cox was being employed as substitute teacher, replacing Joseph Albo, who is a patient at the Mater Misericordiae Hospital. PR0P08ED GYMNASIUM Principal Perkins was asked tn interview E. A. Walters with regard to a proposed gymnasium for children of school age. Mr. Walters had written the Board, requesting permission to instal gymnasium equipment in the High School Auditorium for these classes, with the understanding that such equipment would be available to high school pupils. The opinion of the board was that Mr. Walter's work among the youngsters should not be discouraged, but that they would like to know which instructor Mr. Walters had arranged for, and further particulars regarding the classes. The Rossland Armory was suggested as a suitable place for the children's gym, particularly aj the armory was being used for school children. Mr. Perkins was asked to get in touch with the Rossland Armoury Association and ascertain ita opinion on thli. Application of the Rossland Rover Squlrei to hold a dance in the High School Auditorium, the funds to be used to build a Rover den, waa refused by the Board. Thia decision conformed with the ruling, passed in December, that the auditorium could only be used to for educational puropaes connected with the schools. Tha Classified Will Sell Itl By ROBERT RIEFFEL Havaa Staff Writer STROEM8TAD, Sweden, April 17 (CP.-Havas) — German iol- dlera aboard transports heading for Norway thought they were bound for an Invasion of England, • war prisoner captured after the linking of the 10,000-ton Nazi cruller Bluecher by Norwegian coastal batteries, told thla correspondent today. Interviewed on Norwegian ter* rltory, the prisoner disclosed that tha Bluecher tailed for Norway four daya before the Invasion. "When we embarked no one knew where we were going," he aaid. "When we went aboard the Bluecher a few of my comrades said: 'We're heading for Britain.' It was only when we were on the high seas that the officers told us we were going to Norway and that we would reach Oslo at daybreak." He said that troops were told that "the Norwegian people had called the German navy and army to their aid, to protect them from the British threat." In the Oslo Fjord, he said: "Suddenly there was a cannon shot ln the blackness of the night. From the coast a few hundred yards away a searchlight caught us in its beams of light "All of a sudden a heavy detonation shook the warship. The men fell over one another In disorder. The alarm bell began to ring and then more detonations followed. This time the Bluech- er's guns were firing. "Then came another detonation, different thia time from the gunfire around us, and a terrible jolt The ship had been hit "The bulkhead of the deck on which we were standing was smashed in by gunfire. 1 heard cries from comrades who had been wounded. A thick pall of smoke was spreading. "The wounded were taken off first. A naval officer explained to the infantrymen how to Jump into the boats. In their haste a few forgot to get rid of their heavy equipment and fell into the water. We could hear their shouts for help as they went under. "Finally came the last command: 'Everybody jump!' "The water was Icy. The 300 yards that separated us from islands in the middle of the fjord seemed a terrible distance to me Near me I saw comrades go down in the ice-cold water. The Bluecher was a mass of flames and black smoke and was sinking. "By nightfall everyone had been taken to shore and some of us were taken aboard the ships which followed the Bluecher. Others got to the Norwegian capital painfully on foot across the rocks of the fjord When we arrived Olso already had been occupied." He was taken prisoner In subsequent fighting.

Hrooskln Falls lo Get Damages From (ar Owner NEW TENNIS GENERATION Art Hodson told the meeting that a new generation of tennis players was being organized, and this was absolutely essential. The facilities for bringing on the juniors were now available, he said, and he wanted everybody to take advantage of them. He urged the juniors to strive for participation in the junior section of the annual Kootenay tournament, and he said that it wouldn't be long before Nelson had many top-ranking players. Norval German said that once there was a club of 133 members in Nelson, 70 of whom were juniors. However he was sorry to say that it was allowed to slide until now there were few of those 70 still playing. He hoped junior tennis would thrive now after being dead for three or four years, mainly owing to conflict of other sports and lack of courts. Russel Clark stated he wai the youngster member in the senior rlub in Nelson, and that it got rather lonely at times. He said he expected many of the new crop to join him in the next few years. President Danny Barry stressed the need, of the cooperation of the beginners, for he .had promised the City Council that he would give thorn a good and big club. "It's your club now, and it's up to you to make Lhe best of it," he urged. Nearly 40 players definitely sig- KOSSLAND, B.

Snowball, new School Trustee, emerged from a complexity of fig ures and graphs, Tuesday night, to prove to the Rossland School Board that the cost of education was stead ily increasing in British Columbia, Rating his statistics on a per child per year basis, Mr. Snowball divulged the following education costs increase: 1897-98. $12.50; 1907 08, $36; 1917-18, $51,70; 1927-28, $70.50; 1930-31, $88; 1931-32, $77; 1932-33, $70; 1933-34, $73: 1934-35, $74,70; 1935-36, $82; 1936-37, $86; 1938-39, $8B; 1939-40. $93. Education costs were much higher In British Columbia than in any other Province in the Dominion, stated Mr. Snowball, who gave the cosls per capita in 1938-39, In all Provinces, as follows: British Columbia, $5 84: Afberta, $3.69; Saskatchewan, $4.25; Manitoba, $2.82; Ontario, $3.63; Quebec, $1,99; New Brunswick, $1.82; Nova Scotia, $2.4-6; Prince Edward Island, $3,94. FAVOR8 PROVINCE ASSUMING BURDEN Mr. Snowball asked if any action was being taken by the School Boards throughout the Province to have the expense of education taken over by the Provincial Gov* ernment. "In Rossland, where there is no industrial activity, and the ^ole revenue is from taxes on homes, I think the burden of education is far too heavy in comparison with other cities which are supported by industries," he stated. Secretary J. A. MacLeod stated that a representation had been made to the Rowell Commission by the Union of B. C. Municipalities, but so far no action had been taken, Questioned as to whether G. M Weir, Minister of Education, was in favor of the Government taking over school expenses, Mr. McLeod stated that he believed so.
