B.C., THUR$£)AY, TANUARY 8. 1931 I Eed Paddy " Has Passed On BUP.NS' WELL KNOWN LOCAL CHARAC TER WAS ONE OF "OLD STAG- ERS" "And the days of thy years shall be j three score years and tem'f" &£& David Wihitley, known to everyone in the Similkameen.as "Red Paddy." cheats Father Time by seven years before a remarkable existence was lerm.nated quietiy at iTinceton Hos- p.tal with the passing of the old year. "Red Paddy" was a civiliz-.d vagabond If there -ever was one. Diminutive, egotistical, old fashioned, and the incarnat.on of independence. "Paddy" was one of nature's "queer fellows." "The last two years of Paddy's life were without a doubt the happiest,'' said Neil McFadden discussing oft handedly the death of "Old Paddy." He had a comfortable- cabin—but Paddy was estranged from any degree of comfort. It was a common thing to see Paddy of a Saturay nignt slooping about Bridge Street, -pi obably muttering to himself, here and there erecting an acquaintance, head down, socks over dirty trousert, shaggy hair forcing Its way from under a battered cap carelessly tossed on -his head. More than once have we. left an after-midnight press run to let him in, for Paddy was a printer in his youth. At that, Paddy has a remarkable tareer—and he was not one to make light oi any Incident. His story in many cases parallels, the early development oi our British Columbia interior. tie was from an old Irish family— born in Be fast Nov. 20, 1853, one of a family of ten. .He served an apprentice^ as ,-machinisL. aaii. ..iron worker, and as a full-fledged journeyman he set out to sso the worid. In 1878 he reached New York, and in 1882 crossed to Canada. He headed West, and had an active part in the Riel Rebellion. The Granite Creek excitement brought Lim from th» prairi.s in 1885. His garlen will be remembered by some of the oldtimers. He later went to Rock Creek and the Bandon country, la 1890 he went to Rossland and in the following year he was one of the pauy who surveyed Trail Creek for the cl.y of Trail. H<i later spent some timu iu Nelson, Kasio and Three Forks. Paddy was possessed of a keen observation and a remarkable memory, and he was one of tne best authorities we- had on practical early day history in the interior. In his youth he was "pretty handy," as he iiimseif used to say, and indeed there is ample proof of his prowess with his Bets. He used to say that the name Paddy was given- him by some Frenchmen who used to say, "Here comes Paddy from Cork." The funeral was held Sunday.

I TRADE BOARD NOTES X X There was a great contrast between the interest taken in this Week's annual board meeting and. that of last January. The hectic election contests at that time were probably the closest in the board's history. ' &£-;;• There should be on division among the board f-hls year at any rate, as every vacancy was filled by acclamation. The lack of interest among the common membership during the last year showed that rivalry and results do not always go and in hand. In Mr. Gregory the board undoubtedly made a wise choice for the presidency. He has done more for the board in the past than perhaps any other man, and he has a long record of service. On the other hand, the new secretary is probably the youngest man to be entrusted with the position to date. "f'^t'i A meeting) of the council will be held very soon to name chairman of committees and to outline plans for the year. A T»turn was made to the oouncil ' • -*«r in recent years ' lur.

Statistics governing prosecutions under the motor vehicle act for wanton or incompetent SANE driving srow that DRIVING during 1930 a total of 176 persons' were relieved of their drivers.' licenetj either permanently or temporarily. This figure reflects distinct credit on the sane-mindedness of British Columbia's driving public.

Nevertheless, it represent just 171 persons who have' committed acts whicjh emdanlger the isafety of the motorist and the paaestriah, without cause. Although the number of traffic accidents is surprisingly small, everything considered, the fact nevertheless remains that there are a good many-accidents which could be prevented and should be prevented were the consciousness of the motoring public fully aroused.

MALKIN'S TACTICS THE END OF THE WORLD Judgment day is at hand. The end of the world is approaching. This was scientifically demonstrated by Sir Arthur Eddlngton, Internationally famous scholar, who made the subject of his annual address as president of the Mathematical Association "The End of the World." Sir Arthur Introduced a dignified looking customer who Is a stranger to most of us mere laymen. It was Mr, Entropy. "Entropy Is a very peculiar conception," Sir Arthur alleged. "It might most conveniently be described as the measure of the disorganization of a system. Accordingly, the sign post for time resolves itself into a law that the disorganization is increased from the past to the future. "There is no other dependent sign post for time. Evolution teaches that more and more highly organized systems develop as time gfoes on, but this does not contradict' the conclusions that on the whole there ls a logs of organization." ivj^jJES: Wlitb. everjincreasing disorganization ahead, he predicted that. the (Victoria Colonist) Mayor Malkin is far from ending his career as a civic;. administrator in Vancouver- in aj$la*e of glory. On the contrary he .-hasf indulged in a last-minute campaign, attemping to bring the Provincial Government into disrepute, that affords an insight into can only be .characterized charitably as a peculiar mentality. It has been a campaign of misrepresentation, ot a hiding of the facts of the situation affecting unemployment relief and ot deluding the press of Vancouver as to the actual conditions that exist. The press should have Deen be.tev informed than to have published in a wholesale way the statements made oy Mayor Malkin in his efforts to place the onus of his own purposeful misunderstandings on the head of the Provin/ial Government, :'*ag?h In brief, Mayor Malkin has tried to shift the burden of ineffeclive distribution f unemployment relief from his own municipal government to the Provincial Cabinet Committee, which arranges f-o the allocation of grants made through Provincial and Feawal sources. He has been making* exorbitant demands on the provincial treasury, .and, by implication, insisting that the Federal Government is not doing enough for relief .purposes. To ail intents and purposes his campaign in the press has created the impression that all the moneys granted to Vancouver up to date for relief have been exhausted, and he is. seeking to secure hundreds of thousands of dollars more. He deprecates the existence of unemployment- almost any- wucre in the province outside of Vancouver and- claims more than the lion's share of relief allocations. He manes this ciaim in hectic fashion at a time when Vancouver has approximately $750,000 .still unexpended out of the fund created through the joint efiorcs of the Dominion, the .province and that municipality. it is quite obvious that Mayor Malkin, who presumably has been attending to the duties of his office, must have known all along of the large unemployment relie/ fund available for the uses of Vancouver and unexpended. What then could have been his purpose in the character of the appeals made to the Provincial Government, in the propaganda • by means of which he even mislead the press, and in his persistency in endeavoring to hold up the Cabinet Committee dealing with the Unein pioyment ifiind in a false light? 'Perhaps only Mayor Maikin's conscience is aware of the auswers to these questions. At the conrerence arranged on irriday in Vancouver to iron out the situation that had arisen through misrepresentation Mayor Malkin Was proved to be in the wrong)/ He was quite unable to substantiate the claims he had been making. The uncovering of the fact that Vancouver has .such a large sum of money available for relief was at once and conclusively a* rebuttal of all the propaganda engineered by luat city's c'hiex magistrate, mven the most charitable explanation of his attiude can- not'obviate the tact that he was try ing to oiuageon the J/rovmcial Government into new uummitmcnu tor renef purposes at a time-when nun- ureas ot tnoiisands of dollars were aaii available. One of the unfortunate outcomes of Mayor ivialkins propaganda Is mat it is the worst of an possible Kinds of publicity tor Vancouver. It is essential, indeed, that the press of uaat city snouid correct, with ah prominence, the unfortunate impression it has permuted to go abroad at the instigation of Vancouver's chief magistrate. It is not often, in matters ox his character, that newspapers cau De led on a string by any individual seeking to attain' any personal end. Perhaps the trouble has lain in- the pouuy ox secrecy pursued in the distribution oi unemployment relief. Tne upshot is that-Vancouver is not in any way so seriously crippled in ue.uing with unemployment as Mayor Maiicm has attempted to persuade the public that it is. His attitude on the subject can be passed over as a ue-6 ugf „le one in the future. The saving grace of the situation is that tho .provincial Government's cabinet Committee Fde.ai'rng with un. employment relief comes out of the controversy with • flying .. colors. Messrs. R. W. Bruhn, W, A.. Mckenzie and S. L. Howe are giving up' most of their tine'. to looking alter the allocation of the unemployment relief fund subscribed to by the Federal and Provincial Governments. T.riey are inundated with claims from ail parts-oi tne province. They have to examine these on the basis of .both sympathy and justice and have tq"arr range for the distributo.in.of the fund in a way which will do the. most ;good. They are doing this in a mafflnet which calls for the highest commendation. It.-is-l wholly unfair thaS-thiS committee should have been suoject- tu to the'indignity' of such a cdurei as has been pursued by Mayor Malkin, especially as the latter was hopelessly in ire wrong from start to finish. We do not doubt that the Cabinet Committee hereafter will Institute an even more ,-igid. examination into relief fund expenditures than has prevailed up to date.

INTERIOR SUGGESTIONS * FAIL TO CARRY The \ financial burden of British Columbia basketball at present, in the opi ion of the hinterland clubs at least, unequally borne by the interior, was the chief matter of discussion at the annual meeting of the B.C. Basketball Association. The interior failed to carry a resolution that each club be assessed $3.00. This would have meant about $300 ,from the Island and mainland clubs* At present the few interior clubs, some 16, have to contribute nearly as much as the other ec -tions, with four or five timed the membership. The wterior gained a point when the Secretary's honorarium was cut to $100. When they provided the largest gate in the en tir playoffs in the intermediate A final, Kelowna received about $5.00 of the $400 taken In. In future playoff travelling! expense will be borne I by the B.C.A.BA.

The disparity between Okanagan and Similkameen hockey was only too apparent. It was the first serious workout for the season for the locals, and They curtainly did not touch anything like their usual form. Nevertheless, they had a distinct edge, and Kelowna- can thank Goalie Roth and young Johnson, a wing forward, that they wer; not much more roughly handled. The chunky visit.ng net-minder turned 'in a. hif|hly serviceable game. He had a dozen shots to Campbell's one, bul-ha was a hard man to beat ar.d with Princeton not going in on ha net at all well he managed to save his side from a severer drubbing. Johnson played ,a lone hand forward. Only Ollie Carrington, McKinnon, and at times Daddy Wright showed flashes of the hockey the Similkameen fnas are used to. seeing, and while interesting enough, it was a tame affair as far as- good hockey goes, Princeton quickly snapped up a, two-goal read, but a nice effort from JohnGon kept the game close, as far ag score went any way. Princeton, added another in the second. Kelowna improved as the game progressi ed while Princeton tired perceptibly. Kelowna turned In a sporting exhibition, and were handicapped by absence of four of their players. Two local lads and a Keremeos boy substituted. THE PLAY Kelowna's opening) rush was easily stopped, and Princeton at once threatened. Muir and McKinnon came near scoring before Muir batted in an op- porune one from the side. McKinnon wasted a nice chance from Muir dust a minute later. Wright stopped Johnson just in time. Princeton's second string attack came on and p'ayed a closer style of hockey. Roy Carrington had hard luck overskating the puck after a beautiful effort, but a mluh'i.s later Little? batted through from a rebound. Jt-hnson skated down the loft and injed a hard cross shot Iron lie U-ardf, ompletely fooling Oamn''3il. Midway through the second spasm '.'i" aame speeded up and tne \o. 2 forward line for Princeton were much in evidence. The prettiest goal of the game came when, Roy Carrington made a beautiful rush arid, drawing the goalie, gave Ollie a perfect chance. Kelly had a great try for Kelowna early in tho third period. Roth emerged from under a deluge of play. ere with Ms goal intact. McKinnon had a glaring miss after working right through.

To oBnes Plecash, elongated man of leisure in the Tulameen net, go the aurel» o: the opening battle. Bones, mak'ng a comeback after two or tihree yeans' inactivity, played , a storm of a game; turning aside shots from all angles, rushing out io block forwards with a .clear passage to goal awaiting them. u»ing hands, feet, stick nd boy to good effect. But though the Wilson representatives had more shots, they .certainly had no sinecure, and it demonstrates how we'l the reds had them worried to note that not during the whole game did they chance taking off one of their first string men, until the "ast three minutes, with the issue beyond doubt. Tulameen, with three last year's juniors on their string, were real lighters, and gave the more experienced Wilson boys some anxious mo. ments. The break came with only five minutes lift to play, when. Ollie Carring- U<5 vJbrfced through thdvfirst and second lines of defense, plecash came cess this year, and have Won 95 per cent of games played in all divisions.

Every big copper producing company has made drastic cuts in their production. The Granby Consolidated Mining, Smelting ana Power Co. have reduced their stall at Anyox, and have also shortened the days of labor each week- (cur tailment of production has also beei. put intp effect at Copper Mt.) It is a pity that such a measure was neces sary especially at this time of the year, when unemployment is more life than usual, but they were com polled to fall in line with other cop per producers, for if the price of cop per is to be maintained the cut in production must be universal. Ii there had been no cut, the stocks ol, unsold copper would accumulate unt the market was glutted, and the prlet * BOBBY McKINNON GOES • * TO NELSON * 'itr^^T • * Bobby McKinnon, tireless and * * popular local puck-chaser, who has * * played in these parts since he was • * knee high to a grasshopper, will J * once again pi a.y bin hockey out of * * the Similkameen.

Writes Song Blakeburn, scene, of the tragic explosion which trapped 46 men Wednesday, is a mining camp sjme eighteen miles from Princeton, nestling above his oric Granite Creek, and towering above Coalmont, its shipping point on the Kettle Valley Railway. Ls altitude is 3775 feet above sea level. Wednesday's disaster is just a sample of what the men who delve into the bowels of the earth risk every time they go down. They are, nevertheless, a hearty lot, and in their leisure hours do not stand on ceremony. Pay day in Blakeburn, which comes every two weeks, is a eal event. The average coal miner ls the happy-go lucky type is generally wait- ng for pay day to come round. This accounts for the fa.t that only two or three of he entire forty-six men carried insurance. This song, composed and set to music by Jimmy Colly, one of the happiest men in the camp; will no doubt be boosted into international popularity by th's terrible disaster, in which the whole world 's interested. Come all my friends and workers, To hear mo while I. pray, I've got a tale to tell you About. Blakeburn today. It's a place h'gh in the Rockies, Ten ithousand feet or more, If you ever miss your step, An awful fate's in store. Chors— When i'.'s pay day in the roekies, That's the time when it's gay For every one is full of life, They turn life into day. With a jolly glass to cheer them, That's lo's of fun, I'll say Way up high- there in the Rockies When if, is pay day. Wihile sleeping in the bunkhouse To pass the time away The super came to ask me If I want to work today . Then he says -"The mine is moving."- I says "If that is true Hove it up to the bunkhouse, T'll see what I can do." Chotus. TJke soldiers in the trenches, \ll's ready for a shunt 'i'br if the vendor's no beer They make' an awful grunt j am leaving work to others. To all 'he married men- n the Rockies it's pay day, 'm on the drunk again. Chorus. This is now published by the Na tonal Song Bureau, and copyright by James L.
