NEW RECORD FOR ALLENBY -*k- 3585 Tons Wednesday Was Heaviest In History Of Mill AN all-time record was set at the . Allenby concentrator Wednesday when the huge wheels and crushers handled 3585 jjons of ore. The best previous mark was 3465 back in 1930, and the best the mill was able to do during the early stages of the present operation was a little over 2000, though of late the average has been considerably higher. Normal average capacity is 3000 tons. No special effort was made to do the spectacular Wednesday. It was just a day when everything "clicked." and that seems to demonstrate that everything is now running smoothly in the many nhas es of the big Granby operation.

And last, with the inevitable zeal of all good teachers, falls into the puritanical error of pound ng home the point fcy linking past with present. Upon duly appreciating the greatness of Shakespeare's works, it breaks, without transition, into the amazing observation that certain of these immortal masterpieces have been reproduced as talking p'ctures, which is apparently the consummation of all earthly fame. And to climax this anomaly, queries in characterise Sunday-school ser- oiusness, what would Shakespeare ; say if he could come back to life \ and see his plays in talkies? It is the most absurd question ever asked. But it is a good thing Shakespeare cannot answer. If he did it would be most out of place on a children's page. • What a roguish imp the tongue can be!

Remember — and Think This Heritage Of Ours T'HE literary editorial has come to be the accepted thing for the Remembrance theme, and in the pas we have contributed a series, some of which have gained some recognition among the critics. We propose this not as a parade of v'rtues but rather as a preface to a view which may occur to some as revolutionary, and to some as plainly offensive. Perhaps it is buti a passing mood, but perhaps a rational evolution that prompts it, but life is in its larger aspect serous, and the greatest thing in life is truth, the greatest enemy hypocrisy. And since the literary editorial is too often a synthet c bit of fine writing, wherein we whip ourselves into a frenzy of mental enthusiasm that we may feel what We feel we ought feel, perhaps in this most serious subject of all wc as a public have been contributing to a hypocrisy we fought to explode. For the evolution of a thinking man's mentality appears to be a pricking of sentimental bubbles which he thought to be principles and ideals, but which he comes to real'ze— perhaps it is some faculty he loses, perhaps one he gains—are nothing but illusions. And strong in spirit and fortifed by faith, he pushes past the wreckage, sufficient in the knowlege that there is much that is good and beautiful in the world; but that its real beauty lies beyond, something deeper, fuller, more infinite which comes to those who have courage "to see life plainly, and see it whole"—the courage to think independently. Nowhere is there greater exploitaton of the simple, trusting soul than on the course of the fun- damtental passions and emotions—love, patriot'sm, religion and the like. Their very accepted universality makes us easy prey to mass thinking, pre-digested and syndicated, often faulty, and sometimes vicious. Unscrupulous persons, developing propaganda to a fine — k [Continued on Page Five] k npHOSE who were fortunate enough—and their destiny was their own—to see the moving p ctures of British Columbia's w Id life on Wednesday night will readily agree that it was a del gbtful experience. It is natural to admire nature; there is someth'ng wrong with the person who does not thrill to the rapture of the wild, open h'lls. For there,v shorn oi conventions and restrictions, man is himself, a part of the great plan, wh'ch he is designed to be. And it requires neither preacher nor philosopher to persuade him; that affinity is inherent in his constitution: he was born that way, and his parent of parents was likewise. And that is why Canada, and we here in partc- ular, should 'become fully conscious of our wonderful heritage, because there is a universal thirst for nature and much of the busy world is not so richly endowed. If you have ever travelled and talked with big men in big cities, you will appreciate that. They glow when you show them photos, business of great moment pales as nature asserts its pass'on within them. They want to come; and they would come with very little persuasion and we would be doing them, and incidentally ourselves, a big service by being a little more persuasive; and by that we mean advertising, for it is a busy world, and there are many competing fields with less beauty, but more ambition. For the first time this year, the Province of British Columbia began to advert'se her scenic attractions. Her budget was $5,000, and it was limired to three publicat'ons. Now $5,000 may seem a lot of money, and some will argue that it had better bsen spent on relief. But if they will raise their eyes, they w'll know that it was not squandeerd, but invested; for one party of well-to-do visitors will spend irxn one to two thousand dollars in British Columbia, and that is what it takes not merely to relieve unemployment, but to end it. Of course the advertising resources of a straggling province are limited, but there are many ways of killing a cat, and perhaps we are overlooking valuable advertising mediufs right at home—our own papers, and our own people. The truth is that our own folk are not fully beauty-conscious, do not fully k [Continued on Page Five] Remember and Think F. P.

By word, sincerely,, and even more convincingly by pictures, Mr F. R. Butler, pvo vincial game com missioner emphasized this point in an interesting illustrated lecture in Princeton last Wednesday. A silver panorama—and some in natural colors — of snow-capued peaks and sylvan glades, with b'rds and bears and bighorn, and many ( a speckled beauty and restless sal- . the experts, old irrigation seepage ponds had been converted into a hatchery that yielded 300,000 fry each year. Destruction of predatory fish was also described. Prom the traps at Verhon 53 tons of squaw- f sh were taken. Another film showed the rugged grandeur of the Rockies in the vicinity of Jasper. Another showed game in the East Kootenay. a favorite hunting ground. THE ROMANCE OF THE BEAVER One of the most dramatic was the film showing beaver life. Grey Owl, an Indian author-naturalist, had so won the confidence of this shy water-mason that the cams'a- man was able to get unique close- ups. The beaver, it" was told, builds consisting of two rooms, the upper one being used for living quarters. The young beaver "stayed around" for two or three years, then-moved off to set up house on his own. Concrete example of the value oi fish culture was shown in the case oi Jones Lake, one of the^ best sporting lakes in the Cariboo. It was planted in 1924, at that time being barren. Pictures showed the dramatic dying'effort of salmon to reach the spawning grounds. The theory that salmon return to the spawning ground in four years has been scientifically exploded, the speaker said. Other pictures showed how game was aided through the hard winters. Possibly no animal has a hard er time of it than the big, defiant moose. It is quite a task to get food Into him when snows lie deep in the northern fastness. Birds nnd deer are similarly fed. Eighty .sons of food was dispensed last winter. Pheasants, peer of sporting b'rds, constitute quite a problem. Despite [ Continued on Page Eight ] The "Movies" mem—this was the shadow world the camera unfolded, a picture paradise that is but a showy substitute for the real grandeur that is British Columbia's perpetual playground. The wide range of pictures included a glimpse at the local Three Brothers park reserve and of Dr. McCaffrey's laudable effort at iish culture. A general f lm, "Big Game in B. C." gave a birdseye view—if it is possible to get a bull mosse in a birdseye—of the wealth of our wilderness. A hint was given of the work of conservation. Species—as moose and elk—once in danger of extinction—are now on the increase while future sport is being cared for by restrictions and protective measures, and by "planting" of game in barren areas. Some of the hardier varieties, like big-horn and mountain goat f nd their best pro- tect)on in their difficult environs. BOTTLE FED FISH The romance of the "bottle fed fish" had an interest of its own. The pictures showed how the eggs and milt were stripped from the parent fish, the fingerlings taken from aerated troughs and released in streams and lakes. An interesting point was that when at fint liberated they swarmed together but soon went about living their individual lives. How expert is the art was indicated in that of 30,000 fingerlings taken from the Soo'ce hatchery 100 miles to Comox lake, nor one died in transit. Through the fortitude and industry of Kelowna sportsmen, against the advice of Showed This Same View, of Conservation Has Paid Its Way In B.C. —*—- ♦TWENTY-FOUR years of intelligent game conservation has paid its way. Mr. P. R. Butler, senior game comm'ssioner, is sure of that. The twenty-five years he has spent in the service—he has been engaged, in one capacity or another, since its inception—represents a big slice of Mr. Butler's comparatively youthful existence, but it is a mere moment in the natural order of things that makes mountains and stocks them with wild life. It seems hard to imagne that it is only 25 years since any sort of restriction was imposed in the hunting of game. Pror to 1913, however, not even a licence was required. Now an efficient province-wide organ' zatkm keeps careful watch over British Columbia's animal life fish and fowl, ably assisted by the many volunteer associations of anv ateur sportsmen. Two game commissioners, Mr. Butler and Mr. J. G. Cunningham, the latter with 19 years of service, four inspectors^ and 70 game wardens comprise the administrative force. The province is divided into five sections, corresponding roughly with the police divisions.. The district chief here is Mr. C. P. Kearnes of Nelson. An important part of the work of the game department is the commercial aspect. They are endeavoring to make our own people and the outside world appreciative cf Lovefly Nicomen Ridge Here the wonderful attraction of our resources of scenery and wild life. They are also interested in protecting this natural asset for the future. Conservation work follows along many lines. A total of 33 game re- reserves or sanctuaries have been established. Work of an educational nature Is being undertaken to establ'sh the importance of this native resource. This year for the first time at Its July Beauty a limited schedule of national advertising was undertaken. The films shown here will be exhibited at the world fair at San Francisco As f nances afford, the commission is building up a library of these films, most of which are taken by Mr. Cunningam.

Some w'H talk, but wh-.m you corner them, will admit that they "haven't been there." Of course they themselves are the real losers but if they knew, they would be far greater instruments of persuasion. Then we have our own publications, many of them right in the midst of all this beauty. But they do not reflect it. The only heauy they know is native, and well n'gh naked, Hollywood. Instead of carrying profiles of Hitler and boiler-plate showing the Swiss Alps or the internals of the Come Clean soap factory, which should be pad for, they might well be running live half-tones of beauty spots in their own vicinity. The plates could be prepared and syndcated for a few cents, and their use should be encouraged by a little paid advertising. Our governments started just such a plan about five years ago, and there is no doubt about results. Newspapers themselves should become beauty-conscious. It takes water to turn the mill wheel, and the publisher rightly feels that what creates a profit should he ~ paid for. and he is not much inclined to spend money for plates and in setting type under those circumstances. But he and h s community muse realize that what attracts revenue to his community benefits him, however indirectly. Fully conscious of this truth, and fully alive to she value of our own scenic resources, The Star has been irt the van in respect to emphasizing this-great asset. Both in regular and special editions we have devoted many columns to interesting and accurate promo- t'onai intelligence. Our opportuity is governed by our support, and we wish we could impress on every business man and every citizen that it -s materially in his interest to promote the S milkameen, just as much as it is to sell sugar, or to know where to du;j it more cheaply. ~?5f§ti k * Peter came down from Copper Mtn. the other light and got rid of all his pay. Asked to account for it he did so thusly: "Twenty dollars on liquor, twenty five on women, and I guess I spent the rest of it foolishly." Remember — and Think k [ Continued from Page Two ] art, take malicious advantage of it; others', innocent prey to mental carelessness, commit the most tragic sin of all, sowing evil where they would reap good. It is very well in the smug safety of twenty years to talk of "remembrance", to glorify an epic sacrifice for "peace and democracy." But have not those very memories become conventionalized? Where is the peace and democracy we speak of? Where was it in the war; or, in the haste and excitement of battle, did we stop to examine? There was, to be sure, a great sincerity of purpose in that war; a great and 3n.-Jered sacrifice for those princip.js; But did that seriousness and that sacrifice put them there? Or did it merely fail-to acknowledge their lack? Peace and democracy*are still noble ideals, but ib it not pertinent to examine the logic of our quest? Is that patriotism any less real that is critical, intelligent, inquisitive, alert? There are two great forces in the world, physical and mental, or more commonly force and intelligence. If the last war, n its hopelessness, taught us anything, it was the victory of defeat. For there was no victor in that war, and our sacrifices have recoiled upon our own heads in wars and rumors of wars. And it was a war to end wars! The milennium may be afar off, and surely it is. when love and intelligence shall rule, but meanwhile is there any solace in this hypocrisy; any valor in this burying our heads in the sands of faulty logic? Revolting though it was, was the hysteripal taunt of the London mad-man, like a bomb bursting in the silence of the Empire Remembrance Service, not a little more tragic for its pregnant truth. "All this is hypocrisy," he shrieked, as they Heat him down. "You are deliberately preparing for war!" Well, perhaps not deliberately; but perhaps desperately; for another war to establish the right to peace, the futility of war. Can it ever succeed? But there is no time to doubt; only ours to spring to Taction, to cling to a shadowy illusion of faith in the faint but fervid hope that one day love may rule men's hearts, and all may see the light: Winter Service •More than ever now that winter is here do you need Automotive efficiency.

A Gleeful Tragedy Gas swipers in Princeton? Well, we wouldn't be suspicious, but when a coincidence happens tw.ee it's— who said twins? Again this week thfe school bus dumped its precious cargo prematurely, and they had to h.ke in, late and lame. However, as our scholastic correspondent philosophises, as long as it doesn't happen on the way to school—or what's Wrong with this picture? Hallowe'en at School A delightful Hallowe'en party was held in Friday night for all tne Allenby school ch idren. The obvijmg glow of youthful pleasure perhaps alone could repay the painstaking labors of Miss May Miller, teacher. The room was a glory of orange and black The evening swiftly stole away, in a medley of intrigu.ng games. Assisting the teacher were Miss Louise Miller and Miss Nacline Wennerstrom. Allenby Ghost Walks Halloween falling on Sunday, most of the ghosts had their coming out party on Saturday night. A quiet evening was enjoyed by ail, Chat is except for fire crackers, giant bombs, spasmodic explosions of carb d° in tin cans and a few other minor eruptions. However, no damage of any sort was reported. The nights are getting quite ccld ip here, the frost in the shaded places not melting at all. Looks as if we'll soon have to be dragging out the heavy heavies. A note of sadness tinged the Hallowe'en festivities in the pass.ng of Bertha Engen. She had been ill in Princeton hospital for some days. The sympathy of the community goes out to the bereaved family.

With novejties, elaborate decorations and some of the old war-time melodies, there was a characteristic carnival atmos phere. And while the news column is no place for epitomizing, it may be a matter of general approval to comment on tWe unmistakable improvement in the tenor of this year's event.

It is a good thing that bucks are killed off in proper ratio, said the speaker. Disease w 11 develop otherwise, and it will be far more deadly than the gun. Then it is well to remove the old bucks. Depredations of killer-animals as cougars constitute a serious problem. This year ducks are more plentiful, on the Coast than for at least a decade. Magnificent scenery of the North land, aiong the Stipine river, was shown in another film. A deer, wounded at the age of two and cared for by a Cowichan woman, had come back every year for eighteen years, a significant point in many ways. Every year a female deer could hg depended en for at least one fawn, or twins. To summarize, the pictures were a del ghtful experience in themselves, and a splendid insight into a priceless natural asset. Wild life and natural grandeur will assuredly hold interest, and th3 appeal w 11 not only be to the killer instinct, for if the pictures had any message for the thoughtful, it was convince ing proof that the camera is a more intelligent weapon than the gun.
