GRANBY WORK MARCHING ON Programme Accelerated As Good Weather Approaches THE advance of the Granby work army, which continued relentlessly despite winter's bitterest moods is quickening with the retreat of the weather's severity. Steam and generating units have now been installed at the power plant, and construction is keeping pace. A regiment of steel workers and brick-layers is at work. Good progress continues to be made by Elias Freding and his crew clearing the the right of way for the power line and a good start has been made on the stringing of wire. Meanwhile the' West Kootenay power is being used at Allenby and Copper Mountain. A crew of some 70 men ar,e .preparing y^jnine^tog activity, ana Snowierjerlw^s cleaning up at Allenby. It is reported that the full programme of railway work will be launched next week, with some 200 men at work. The bridge crews have been engaged for a fortnight. It is expected that the rail way will be ready for use by the end of April and the power plant in operation by the middle of this month. jps -a- • Takes Well Earned Rest Diplomat Anthony Eden Hedley Ousted From Senior Hoop Series —ft— At Summerland 27 Hedley 18 Summerland 39 at Hedley 32 66 50 IIEDLEY'S fighting senior hoopsters passed out of the playoff race for the year as they succumbed for the second time to Summerland on the latter's floor Tuesday.

THURSDAY, 4th MARCH. I I (r R@um& the Corner I =±i Shades of Napoleon and Paul Bun- yan! Has masculinity come to this!. Down in some crazy MASCULINE college in those am- MAKE-UP azing United States the delving into the abyss of higher learning has brought them to the sticky mess, so it seems, of masculine cosmetics. The college men (?) have established a bureau of beauty where they can go and •have their mud packs and their per- manents and whatever else :s done in those mysterious hen-houses where' the once fair sex retreat to obliterate the last remaining vestiges of the native comliness. of their mother Eve. What a wonderful thing education must be. And what wonders these American universities do produce. The principal crop seems to be football players and wrestlers, which the Lord knows is wonderful enough, and the alternate is educated men, which, everything considered, is e^en more wonderful. it ! ft Science has made <-ome amazin<* contributions to modern liv ng and this is only the beginning, ft is doubtful, however, if there will ever be anyth'ng more PI?™ ^turbing than the rlollJKli cold science invoked at the official inquest concerning the recent San Francisco bridge disaster. Introduced as evidence were moving pictures of the tragic drop, snapped by the alert investigators, set in readiness to make an absolute record of an accident that theoret cally, under the auspices of the very safety organization that placed them there, just could not happen. Truly, a moving picture. it- And while lingering in the nether reg ons of amazement, we give you a friendly doctor's reaction to the proposed Health In. HEALTH surance legislation INSURANCE Excellent in principle and seemingly innocent enough in pract ce, the Act, our interpreter interpolated, is cap- aible of some truly amazing situations. Even you or I, if covered by this Weir-d blanket, could, by he simple exercise of prerogative, designate as our doctor the king's own private surgeon, if Jimmy Butter- field ever succeeds in making a kingdom out of the w lderness. We can, we mean to say, select any physic an we wish, regardless of relative accessibility, and the bewildered doctor has nothing to say about it. And if we should happen to succumb to the lure of some fair Esquimal, or whatever is the feminine of the species, and fall s ck in the process (as we very well might), the said doctor is technically obliged to toddle up there after us, at his own expense, and without benefit of mileage allowance. Regardless of his aversion to accepting our risk, if it developed (as it very well might) that our disorder surpassed his understanding and he had to send us to a bra n specialist, he would have the pleasure of paying our expenses out of the substantial income of $48 dollars a, year he collected over our body. Just where hospitalization and prescriptions come in not even the authors of the Act know yet, though it was to have gone into effect Monday. Two of the Doctor's own stories best illustrate his point. In neither case in any personal reflection intended. He was recently called to visit a country rel ef patient. He travelled two miles in snow to the end'of the road, by car, and another three- quarters astride a plough-horse to the farm house; helped the father .knock together a sleigh, and with him pulled the sick child through new snow to hospital, going back later for his car. After much red tape he collected from the government $1.50 for services and forty-five cents mileage allowance. The other story shows the Doc in arxither mood, able to take care of jwer S&a k simple flower, that lightly " draws its breath in the summered skies of the Southern Hem- siphere was smiling warmly in the severity of Similkameen's win ter recently. And it had a story of surpassing interest to tell, after a voyage half way round the world. It was plucked from its sandy couch on the sun-baked plateaus of South Africa, more than six weeks before. It saw London and stopped off at Vancouver on its tedious way to PrUnceton, but when the little wooden box was opened just about Christmas it blinked its eyes in the dazzla of Similkameen's snowy sunlight, decided it liked the place, and smiled bravely, then broadly. Mrs. W. A. Wagenhauser, to whom the flowers were sent by relatives ih Cape Town, her former home, was able to testify at first hand as to the strange stability of this frail looking little •cousin—by sight, at least—of our anenome. It blooms in the heart of the sub-equatorial summer, which of course is the antipodes of ours. It grows from a bulb, in dry, sandy soil. Dozens of the blooms are clustered on a slender, hollow stock. They shade from a dead (so it seems) brown sheath at the outside to the open flowers at the center. As one drops off, another takes its place, the dry brown skin evolving into a frail six-petalled flower of delicate texture andi purest color, with five dainty yellow stamens on long slender anthers. The remarkable thing abiut this flower is its vigor. It lasts in full bloom for more than six weeks, and after being cut .rem the Plant and left in a dry box for weeks it slowly revives after being placed in water, and re- assumes all its native freshness land beauty. It is aptly termed the South African wonder flower. Its botanical name is Ornithogalum, but its native name is Chincherin- chees, being the native conception of the sound made by the rubbing of the stalks in the wind. This is commonly abbreviated to "Chinks" a rrespondence WORK AND WAGES- HOW TO DO IT. Editor, Star, Sir: I would like our members, Hon Grote Stirling, M.P., and C. H. Tup- per, M.L.A., to take up in the Houses at Ottawa and Victoria the question of the governments' giving special consideration to towns where there is not a sufficient industrial payroll to maintain the people in usual employment. My idea is that the governments should do something to get idle mines and such properties working, to spend same of the money now going to unproductive relief works in channels where ic can be earned. As it is now and has been for years, millions of dollars have been spent on relief works. If some of the money could be put into getting industries going the circulation of that money would help in many different ways. Now big sums are being spent all the time on road work. This gives men relief but is not helping them to get back into regular and ordinary employment, at living wages, and the money goes dead. The governments seem to think that everyone is getting prosperous aga n, and are making it harder for unemployed to get relief, but what are they really doing to get them off relief? Yours etc. , LOUIS PRATICO. Princeton, B.C., 3rd March, 1937. Of recent years the export of this flower has been commer- • cialized. So far as is known they were the 'first flowers of their kind to reach the Similkameen. Publicity's Evils it OEFLEX aja, the general situation, Princeton is being literally stormed by transients, so much so that police are maintaining a rigorous watch. That there is so little evidence of the influx is doubtless due to their diligence. Penticton haa been plagued with a series of petty crimes and Oakalla is so full with Vancouver demonstrators that up. country police hes'tate to convict a man for a short term, in fear of being made to keep him osi their hands. It seems that "prosperity" has arrived before we are ready for it. himself. , He had isolated a foreign woman s chid for measles. Affer a few days the fond parent decided the con. fi-iement had lasted long enough, and approached the medico, only to be politely refused. But she was persistence personified The phone rang so often that, having vainly tried to insult her by all gentlemanly means, he had to hang up on her. She stormed his citadel. He solmenly escorted her to the door and directed her to the river. His formula defies print; but she never troubled him again. WAKE UP YOUR LIVER BILE- And You'll Jump Out of Bed in the Morning Rarin' to go The liver should pour out two pounds of liquid bile into your oowels daily. If this* bile is not flowing freely, your food doesn't digest. It just decays in the bowels. Gas bloats up your stomach. You get constipated. Harmful poisons go into the body, and you feel sour, sunk and the world looks punk. A mere bowel movement doesn't always get at the cause. You need something that works on the liver as well. It takes those good, old Carter's little Liver Pills to get these two pounds of bile flowing freely and make you feel "up and up". Harmless and gentle, they make the bile flow freely. They do the work of calomel but have no calomel or mercury in them. Ask for Carter's Little Liver Pills by name! Stubbornly refuse anything else. 25c Synopsis of Land Act PRE-EMPTIONS T7"ACANT, unreserved, surveyed Crown ▼ lands may be pre-empted by British subjects over 18 years of age, and by aliens on declaring intention to become British subjects, conditional upon residence, occupation and improvement.

After that they went out to win, and hang the pretty stuff, but found Keremeos unwieldihg. And as the game got worse, it got better—less ball and more thrills. Then came the dramatic climax. The denouement was as startling as the climax bitter, for the blow, instead of getting the leaderless Princeton rump down, sent them in there fighting with a new fire.

Before a good crowd the Amber gladiators' won a majority of the events for their own club, but there was no lack of competition in the various events. Out-generalling veteran competitors to win both the senior events, slalom and jumps, nineteen-year.old Bert Irwin turned in the feature performance, and annexed the Amber cup, major award of the meet. Noel Paul, Miss1 Margaret Avery and Ethej Irwin duplicated Bertie's feat by capturing both events in their class. The meet was run off in good style under almost ideal con ditions on the Amber hill. Th© longest jump of the day was made by Billie Irwin, Bertie's sixteen year old brother, who cleared 105 feet in an exhibition leap.. The rec ord of the sporty hill is 135 feet. Another notable performance was that of wee Glen Allen who went on in a special event, -and bettered the time of the winner in the under 9 class. The tournament was the crowning achievement of the Amber Club, with a romantic rise from humble beginnings. It has grown under the wing of Mr. Bert Irwin, whose hobby it is. He does everything for the youngstesrs, but his specialty is repairing skis. One of his principal materials is old tobacco cans, from his £a.vorite brand, hence the name of the club.

HOUDE & CO., MONTREAL The 23-miilionth Has Just Been Built IT HAS never occurred before in automobile h story that 25 million cars of one make, bearing one name, have been manufactured under one management. The 25,000,000th Ford car rolled off the Ford Rouge production line on January 18,1937. 25 million cars since 19u3 . . . . more than one-third of all the cars ever built . . . enough cars to transport the entire population of the United States The figures represent a remarkable contribution to the social welfare, the industrial stability and the general progress of our country. People respect Ford efficiency. They know Ford uses fine materials, the best workmanship at good wages, the most exact precision measurements. They know these thugs are passed along to purchasers in the form of extra vclue. Naturally, they like to do business with such a company. That is the only reason it has been required! to produce 25 million cars. Naturally, too, they expect mope of a Ford car, more this year than last year — more each year than the year before. They have every right to. The experience gained in building 25,000,000 cars enables Ford to produce to-day a really superb motor car at a really low price—with the beauty, comfort, safety and perform: once of much more expensive cars. * The 1937 Ford V-8 combines advanced design, all steel construction, e:.itra, body room, and brilliant brakes, with a choice of two V-type 8 cylinder engines*—the most modern type of power-plant on land, sea, or in the air. The 85-horsepower engine gives good performance with the greatest gasoline mileage ever built into a Ford car — and wears the lowest Ford price tag in years. People expect more of a Ford car because it's a Ford— and they get more for the same reason. It is undeniably the quality car of the low- price field.

HOW PLACER GOLD ORIGINATES But first consider the origin of this vast fortune. The explanation-, or rather this theory of it —is com- paritively simple. Nature, as usual is the progenitor. Originally placer gold was quartz gold pushed up in eruption through the earth's crust. Then wind, weather and glacatian combined to grind the rock to sand and bear it down, with its precious gold content, to the streams. In that land of extreme cold action of ice and snow is marked. The discovery of gold in the Klondyke was made in 1894 by a prospector, Henderson and his Indian companion Karmax (sp?). Their success precipitated one af the wildest stampedes in history. Many of the adventurers came in '97 but the main phalanx came in the following year. Much of the gold was taken out of one big hole on the Klondyke river, though every creek in the territory was panned. The procedure was tlrs: a man selected and staked a lease, 200 feet along the creek. This was duly registered in his name and he proceeded to work his "diggings." His chief instrument was a pan, although occasionally a small sluice was rigged up. HELD IN THE FROZEN FIST The chief factor in the Yukon was the cold. The intense cold oi the long winter tied the whole country in a knot of ice that ?ven the almost tropical sun ctf the short hot summer could not undo. So solid was the ground frozen that it never thawed more than two feet from' the surface. Below that was perhaps thirty feet of sand on top of the bedjrock. The surface holdings were naturally superficial and soon worked out. The ninety-eighter's solution to the problem was a wood fire, by means of which he thawed the ground and then panned the mud. Naturally there were limitations tc this practice. To-day the scene is entirely different; and yet huge sums are still being recovered. The hand miner has all but passed out of the picture. Rich though they sometimes were the recoveries of the '98-ers were hard-earned. It was a gamble. After a man had made a big re. covery and the ground was no longer easy to work, he was often glad to make a sporting sale for a few thousands. There were agents who bought up these leases until whole creeks came under the ownership of one man or company. Death and abandonment left many claims similarly open. Now for example, the entire length of ElDorado creek is held by the Guggenheims. Huge dredges marvels of construction, electrically operated carve out a new channel as they move about in the gold-ibearing sand, handling hundreds of yards aaily in a process that ensures high recovery/The channels and the piles of tailings are changing the look of the country. Fabulous wealth is not sq common to-day, but enormous sums are still taken, by reason of large scale methods. A dredge will recover in turning over thousands of yards oi gravel, up to $8000 per day. In the gold rush days one man might make as high as $50,000 in a season from surface work on one small claim'. But he would work long hours— as they used to say, "work like a mule and spend like an ass." It must have been a strange admixture of heaven and earth to sweat through the long day in blistering sun, and yet .in an ooze oi it [ Continued on Page 8 ] BY BETTY BARCLAY Honey is not a complete food but it contains vitamins and small portions of practically every element used . by the human body. As far as food value is concerned, it sup- pi:-:; almost 1500 calories to the pound — thus ranking very high in the list of foods. Europe uses this food extensively in cooking and in honeywine (Mead). We use it largely as a tasty spread or as a flavoring for frostings. The attractive glass jars in which honey is marketed make it possible for the housewife to see exactly what she is buying. Often the modern producer puts part of the corah in the strained honey, plainly visijfte through the glass walls of the jar.

WHEN THE OCCASION CALLS FOR BEER... m This advertisement is not published or displayed by the Liquor Control Board or Government of B.C. On The Shelf PI CAMPBELL QNE of the Old Guard, whose lament we sang, Harry has gone one step beyond our village miseries and is definitely on the shelf. But, as mentor cf the Rutland Senior C's, hs may cause h s old buddies some worries. The big boy, ak pper of Varsity's Canadian championship team, has been pretty i 1, but is doing well how. Pi's record was all the more remarkable in that he suffered a broken back early in his hooping career. He was the question mark of our wonder team' of '29-30. -■&- The Magic Klondyke a [ Continued from Page Six ] muck with a crust of frozen eter. nity underneath it; and in the bewitching aurora lit summer sky, with its shafts of colored light that bathed the hills and silhouetted them like huge gorgons, and made the very air electric. There is nothing to compare with a northern night. Though it is quite light through the entire twenty-four hours, the photographing of this phenomena is extremely difficult due to the intensity of the cosmic rays. THAWING OUT FROZES GOLD The severe cold as has been noted is a major factor in the Klondyke placers. Just as the grating action of glaciation brings the gold out of the rocks, so the frost binds it into the gravel of the river beds Modern science has a high-powered way "of recovering these "frozen assets." Holes are drilled by electric drills, into the frozen ground. Then steam is released into the holes at great pressure. In a few minutes the ground that has been frozen for centuries is. an oozing mass of mud, from which the gold values are easily recovered. Another method is to break down the banks. This is done by hy. dlraulicing. Water is brought in steel pipes as far as fifty miles, developing enormous pressure. These jets cut through the hard banks like an acetylene torch. The sand is washed through long riffles, like huge irrigat on ditches, and the gold is deposited on the cross-pieces. It cost as much as twenty-nine million dollars to install one such outfit. It is intriguing to note, in leaving this fascinating land, the trend of control. The Jews are the men behind these huge modern recovery operations. It is a common saying that the outcast Hebrew is invariably to be found behind the big money to-day. This is certainly true of the golden Klondyke. REMINISCING Yesterday, three fighting cocks; To-day, three sorrowing crocks. The moral 'being, dear chldrem, (and there being nothing immoral in it) that youth will be served. Ruminating thusly, we invite you to draw up your chairs and grow old along with us—Willie, Cec. and the P.D.) in the mellow glow of the fireside league. And our membership :'s growing. Sunday—on the assurance of Doc, whom we hereby nominate as honorary president) Ivor, Ole and mebbe Deward became eligible. But there's still plenty of room on the bench. Thirty summers may be a not-so-ripe attainment, but in sport it is the sixth age, when one dons "his youthful hose, well saved for his shrunk shank." At least, till the soreness wears off; but mebbe you'd better not count us out just yet, though we merry three are on our way, no doubting. The kids made that clear with a neat drubbing, and Mamma Nature (our new Alma Mater, it seems) rubbed it in. But the old boys die hard You should have seen Willie; but we'll save that for later. Without more ado, here's the vital statistics: Willie out for six -weeks (and the playoffs) with a d's- located shoulder; Cec. crocked for the rest of his natural with water on the knee; and the P.D. —no. not water on the brain—with the hem shredded off his already lean shoulder—all in the space of a revolution of the sun. if the law of gravity has n't been repealed, and the sun still (it never d'd) re volutes. Thus is the ironv of fate. Still, wincingly, we can look back and sav "them wuz the days." Wil. lie was telling us not so long ago this was his fiifteenth consecutive playoff auest (wP think it was fifteen; we're scared to ask him now). Anyway, we're about the last- of the Mohawkans flaying in the first series on our record. Tb»re was th?t never-to-be for- po«-+°n trio to Kelowna (the very first) made in Caruso's old ooen Cadillfc. and th° comfort we sought had its evils; and we prepared to throw (or was it vice-versa) big Gill into Okanagan Lake. There was the t'me the bunch got stranded out of Aspen Grove and Sheffie (and do you remember the fp.t being on the fire, Wilf?) cooked flap-jacks (at least, he insisted they were); and the time the bleachers fell in. Mark?; and that Damon and Pvthias duel between you and Algie?; and how B'll Garrison, you went to sleep at the wheel and we jerked' you from a watery grave?; and how—you lucky dog— you ran out of gas three times and always in front of a filling station? And that Interior final against Revelstoke, and the kitten, Bill, and doggone if you weren't as nervous as the cat! And how we loved Dick Parkinson that night! And the time we mixed with Corp. O'Reilly, aJid how Harry Pi lost his temper, and Muck gave the Penticton crowd the Angels Serenade? and how our wonder team (we are still wondering) went out in the first crack; and how Weatherup slept in someone else's room, and . Anally on the fire escape? And the visit (or was it a. vacation, Willie?) to the Legion? and the very first City League? and Cammie's amazing capacity—and audacity—for C2H50H, (op.D? — Oh, we could go on and on, but we're not just ripe just yet, in spite of the symbols. Sport builds up a teeming treasure house of romance for the days of memory. And when those memoirs are spilled—this, is just a moody foretaste—no incident will be more glamorous than that p cture of the prostrate Willie, directing his own funeral, supine on the floor. But it's a little too painful yet to be funny. And anyway, we rebel, and, though we are not now .that force that once moved heaven. and earth, we push the lid off the incinerator, and one one equal temper of hero c hearts, made weak by time and. fate though strong in will, to strive, ti seek, to find, and not to yield—boom for baskets. Ah me!
