McCAFPREY, suddenly stricken last Tuesday," has progressed sufficiently to be able to leave the Princeton Hospital. He is convalescing at home, and his condition is reported to be favorable. If so distressing an event can have any useful purpose, this certainly established the high esteem the doughty little Irish practitioner enjoys in his community. Everywhere one went during those first uncertain hours, the first and in- I evitable query was, "Have you heard -how Doc is?" And there was many %&■ husky young fellow who would have gladly given half his health -and strength to Doc were such ^possible. The affliction was said to .be an internal haemorrhage. Model Mining Camp At Nickel Plate Symbol Of Enlightened Policy of Kelowna Exploration OIGH in the clouds, gazing down ** at the winding Similkameen •valley and the dwarfed panorama of the hale and hearty town of Hedley, a pretty little community, quiet but busy, is springing up with- gabled roofs, quaint brightly colored bungalows, stone-bordered walks and smiling children. Mining characteristically connotes something drab, makeshift, perhaps dirty. But that is an Illusion and an anachronism. The new camp at Nickel Plate is like a page from a fairy picture-book; a happy, healthy mining camp of the new psychology. And it is manifestly th? creation of one man. Speaking to The Star some weeks ago, Mr. W. C. Douglass, superintendent of the big Kelowna Exploration operation and god-father to the community of employees and their families dependent on the operation and on whom the operation depends, explained that a contented staff is just as vital in his scheme of management as skilled heads and swift machines. "The way to get a square deal out of your associates is to give one," he said, in epitome Mr. Douglass' directors share his teESightaned views, and . the oper-. ation is a model one. DELIGHTFUL LITTLE CAMP Pew, however , realize Just what has been done at Nickel Pilate. It is common knowledge that the famous old mine, once considered worked out, has been revived by the skill and courage of the company's engineers, and the future appears to suffer nothing by comparison with the past. But 5500 feet in the clouds, back oft' the, beaten track, the human side of the company, though well enoug manifest in other ways, has really flowered. In marked contrast to the, dingy old scant frame structures typical of a mining camp, here is a fully modern, model village that would be the envy of many a town-planning commission Nine new bungalows, a school, and a community hall and recreation center comprise the new Sunnyside Townsite. The buildings are liberally spaced, with neat streets and walks and a splendid new independent water system, with hydrants and full equipment fox fire protection. These bungalows are the extreme in accommodation for the single ■miner. Instead of being quarterd in a big building, with long, noisy corridors and scores of small rooms, it [Continued on Page Five] Mascot Bunkhouse Splendid Structure -k MASCOT'S new bunk-house has "*• won commendation of its employees.

It has a modern heating plant and excellent lighting facilities.

Doc in hospital; Sylvester with a badly burned and Perley away for the second time since 1886. With the stock market slump for a background, we were all set for a dolorous destiny. But glad tidings come from all fronts: Doc, old warrior that he is, is making the grade, and soon his cheerful cussedness will be our portion again. Sylvester escaped with nothing more than a bad hand and a bad fright. Perley is back and promises never to do it again. The Printer's Devil is behind schedule, and everything is normal once more.

The injury is progressing favorably. Injury was the more unusual as Sylvester is the personification of carefulness. INTERIOR policte are scouring the countryside for trace of Mike Melinchuck, convicted Keremeos safecracker, and internationally known badman, who nonchalantly sawed his wtay out of 'P.enticton lock-up on Sunday evening. Similkameen police have been keeping a close watch on all roads, and Okanagan and Boundary officers have been equally diligent, but Melinchuck has either made a getaway, or is lying low. Police actions suggest, however, that they may have certain clues. Melinchuck escaped by sawing the bars of his cell, about 7 p.m. Sunday. He was being held for transport to Oakalla after being sentenced to serve 30 months at Oakalla for the Keremeos Co-Operative safe breaking 9th October. He was convicted on Friday. An alleged accomplice, E. Severson, had previously pleaded, guilty. He was apparently "Hot" ~in>63Tea*\tn"^% "Jailrbireak; "b ufc - ■ it is believed that Melinchuck had outside assistance. m£3?, .The first act of the drama featured a skillful detection by provin-i cial police, reported last week. Melinchuck is said! to have a record on both sides of the boundary and has just completed a term in provincial jail for robbery. He is described as 32 years of age, height 5 ft. 10 inches, dark complexioned, well featured, black hair, weight 160 pounds. He is classed as a "dangerous criminal." EXTRA! PERLEY GOES TO COAST WHEN a man bites a dog, it's news; when a- prince marries a pauper, it's a sensation; but when Perley goes to Vancouver, it's both. And Perley has did it. NEWS!: Screaming News! Perley visited Vancouver in 1893' and then settled in the Similkameen. Though he is one of the best known and best informed business and fraternal men of the Interior, knows scores of people and holds many interests, and though he is hardly ever home, he is never very far away, and the familiar old corner store, vintage of '86, just does not seem right without him. There was a perceptible void on Thursday and Friday but of course Perley could not be expected to stay long, even when he does tear himself away. He showed up Saturday morning, as if nothing had happened, and the only change we could detect was a pair of full- fledged spectacles, • supplanting the- famous cracked glass. Perley always used to say he .was going to Vancouver, to be one of the first over the Hope-Princeton road. But even Perley wore down and in 1933 he made a business trip, by rail. That and this week's are the onty occasions he has disturbed the monotony of the big city since 1893. He admits Vancouver has "changed a little." PAGE TWO THE SIMILKAMEEN STAR, PRINCETON, B.C.

Wanted — Road Sense • 'Tis a wonderful age we're living and everybody knows it6 aein and doesn't know enough to worry about it. At sixty, he knows nothing and admits it. But at the golden age of sixteen, he is the alpha and omega of all knowledge, and admits it. And he has the modern educational system to back him up. All ths is not according to the established assessment of values, but who asesses the assessor? Hos- or thy father and thy.mother had a long run, but after all, it was said some time ago (about 15,000 years, more or less), and you can get next month's Esquire 15th this month, so the old bromide is a little frowsy, and you needn't expect a sage of sixteen to agree that just about everything worth say.ng by way of human thought and conduct was said by the time of Homer. He has read too much to swallow that; and not enough to digest it. There was a custom in the days of the old Romans—the mid-Victorians of history—that illustrates their mid-Victorianism, interpret;d according to your own ego. They used, at great labor and expense, when an old boy or girl kicked off, to model in wax, at great labor and expense, an "imago" of the deceased parent. These imagos were carefully and honorably preserved by the patrician families and at state and specif c occasions the old boy and the old girl were hauled off the sheilf dusted and manicured and carred aloft in the parade.lt is to be presumed that bachelors were allowed to die a natural death. • All of which ought to be a pretty good and on the whole conventional efficacy for or against our modern youth, just as you like your syntax. There is no doubt our youth is not what it was; and the answer is, it never was. Your father •told you that, and his father told him that and your great-grandfather told your grandfather that; and the probability is they were all right. There's a lot of water goes over the mill. It may be tne same water that has been up to the clouds and come back again; you'd never know it. It's moment- may be brief, but with all the ser- ness in the world, it's the 3nly water i n the whole world while it's on the paddle. Every younger generation yet has perplexed its parents, and somehow- or other it has got by, though (as is quite natural) we have very grave doubts about the present freshmen. <9 Mistakes, like birthdays, are bound to happen. The real test of intelligence and gentility is how you handle them. It's so easy to fume— and so darned futile. A rather important one happened on Sunday night on Rosa Ponselle's premiere. Rosa, in case you are as well informed as we were before we read the story, is a bit of a fiash as a soprano of the Metropolitan Opera. A hushed audience leaned forward as her dramatic soprano voice rose and fell in Tscha, kowsky's "Adiue Forets." Suddenly the .great Ponselle stopped. She turned upon her pianist. and, before a throng too amazed to gasp, curtly said, "You are on •the wrong key!" But the accompanist replied in dulcit, "No, I am not." Whereupon Rosie, artistic temperament flaring, stomped over to A Bigger Game k JfEW, perhaps, have regard for sport beyond the passing pleasure, and fewer still have patience for preaching, and yet, at the risk of being unceremoniously deserted, we have a thought on sport in its larger sense; for sport, it has seemed to us, nas been, perhaps sadly, mis_proportioned. Last week a disappointed group of athletes dis- entrained, arrived back home after travelling out west and leaving behind them a lacrosse championship the sporting little town had held for three proud years. Two years previously, victors im a. similar crusade, they had been welcomed like any Alexander. But last week there was no one to greet them. They had lost. They had lost, and they had a right to take their medicine, and no man who does not know fiow to take it is woithy of the knighthood of sportdom. But the pity is that so few can qualify, and least of all among the on-lookers, who, by their absence, showed that they did not know, and that they had quite missed the.point of all their interest; they did not enjoy sport, they only enjoyed the satisfaction of a selfish desire to dominate, and that by proxy. Sport can mean two things—the physical clash of strong bodies, in itself a delight to any red- blooded man; but far more vitally, the testing of the essence of manhood—the "stuff" that has nothing to do with muscles or scores, in that respect 'that the stadium is merely a testing ground for life No need to worry about scores—no man who has the gumption to get into a game but can be depended on to show the will to win. Some, indeed, will rise to the occasion better, and every honor to them; but the point is that the score-board is only a passing phase—loften the poorest player is, within himself, playing the greatest game—the real tally is kept by the Great Score-keeper in terms of the prime essential—not goals, but manhood. ft rpHERE is grat and notable excitement in the reaches of draught-starved Alberta. Weary cf waiting for the illusive Aberhart milennium, a new hope has arisen in the breast of many a foothill furnisher. It lies in the tender heart of the British Columb'a apple. ||§f^ For it seems that there is a hidden gold mine in British GoJumbia apples, literally as well as metaphorically. Twice in a few days housewives preparing this soulful fruit out of Eden for cuisine have come across tiny nuggets of pure, physical gold. Now this is very intriguing, and of course tne bh'ng everybody wants to know is, where is the goose that lays the golden egg, and so emulates Midas? We "yERY much to the fore in Brit'sh Columbia at large, and right here at home is the perpetual problem of roads. Everywhere the burden is the the same, and the fact that it is neither qualifies cr justifies it; it simply proves the necessity for a definite policy that will embrace all cases; for, in pressing our own needs, however aggrieved We may feel, there is no point in denying the rights of others. When all sections of the province make up their minds to stop trying to fatten themselves on what they can f lch from a less fortunate neighbor, and make up their minds to demand adequate and efficient fairness, there is a hope that We shall get it. The direction, in spite of Mr. Pattullo and the pot-wallopers, clearly points to an independent High way Commission and the alienation of roads from politics; for their can be neither programme nor policy, nor real progress, where expediency is king; and with so much to be done, the cruellest portion for a crying young province is political waste. We have seen too much of it already; our common sense tells us that the great battle of the ins and the out? is a losing one for all concerned. About the first thing any man who ever does much learns is to plan. Lacking foundations, there has been too much shingling in British Columbia. Government planning, or the lack of it, would have ruined many an individual business man. It is h:gh time British Columbia woke up and told its leg's- lators that the science of government is not how to stay in office, but how to govern. The skeleton of the proper road programme is only too obvious—develop a system of arterial roads, and back them up with adequate feeder roads. It is as sound in theory as in practice. In the Similkameen for instance, there is no earthly reason why, out of gas tax and licences alone, proper roads between valley points that have so much in common, could not be maintained. Develop one section at a time, and if Mr. Beatty is so sure that the salvation of the country (and especally the C.P.R.) lies in, bringing in more colonists, let him find outside capital to develop the new areas on which he would settle them instead of asking British Columbia to meet out of operating expenses what is properly chargeable to capital account. And above ail, instead of talking so much about taking the profit out of war, let's try taking it out of politics, and maytae there will bf no wars. &&§§ shall give the answer. The answer is, the Lower Similkameen. We do not know that the source of tiiis glittering gold is actually here, and we do not care; We have something more important. For after all, this mite of elusive gold will never make anybody rich; and while the aureate waters of the sunny Similkameen do course through proven placer fields :'n their upper reaches, the wealth they carry to the fertile orchard lands of the Keremeos area can be better measured in terms of priceless health for :h<> good wives of Alberta, and prosperity for the sturdy sons of Similkameen soil who cultivate them. The Sixth Rose -*- "pRINCETON has always been very proud of her band, and though it has had its ups and downs, has high hopes now that a versatile and distinguished musician has taken over the leadership and is teaching, the youngsters how to play and the Printer's Devils to keep still.

Reconstruction of such a wedding with the utmost fidelity to costume and customs has been done by Alderic Bourgeois, Montreal newspaperman and revue writer, who has written a sketch with the above title for the Quebec Festival to be held at the Chateau Frontenac, October 16-18. Musical settings will be by Oscar O'Brien, Montreal composer and song writer. One of the old customs was the arrival of uninvited guests, attracted by the good cheer and general gaiety, who paid their ssot with songs and dances. These will be represented in the sketch by Lionel Daunais, Miville Belleau, Emile Boucher and Fortunat Champagne, of the Bytown Troubadours, who will keep things moving with true French-Canadian verve, singing in alL 16 old •Redding songs harmonized by Mr. O'Brien.

There is a pretty romance to the apothecary's craft, from the shades of Egypt to the cool of the corner soda-fountain, for it is a standing proverb that in the modern city drug emporium you can buy anything from a G-string to a Ford rear axle, including, in rare cases, drugs. For he is an interesting fellow, the druggist—a bit of a chemist, doctor, nurse, photographer, baby special:st, confectioner, publicist, salesman, psychologist, and lastly a bit of a rogue, as witness this voluntary publicity inspired by National Pharmacy Week. For the drugg'st not only has an interesting vocation—he knows how to capitalize on its interest. Hence nei- ' ther scribe nor Pharisee need apologize for manifesting lively interest in Pharmacy Week. It's fascinating, and we crave fascination. Then, too, factually, it is very vital!; and quite proper that the layman be interested in the business whose business it is to safeguard his health. Quite obviously the practice grew out of fundamental necessity—an ill calling for a remedy. Every aboriginal c vilization has developed its own pharmaceutical culture. The North American- Indians learned the secret powers of barks and roots and berries; the Chinese developed consummate skill. AN EXACT SCIENCE NOW But the modern cumulative science of pharmacy, as we know ;,t, dates to the comparit vefy recent civilizations of the Greeks and the Egyptians, with of course a tremendous contribution from modern laboratorical research.

Taking for granted thepicturesque medicine men of the nebulous past, we can safely agree that John Love, of Hedley, though still active and enterprising, is the "grand old man" of the profession in the valley. A national trade magazine recently rarried the story of his early experiences in Fairview and Hedley, where he located along about 1905. He later went to the Peace River country, returning to Hedley in 1935. It was about the same time that J R. Campbell opened a store in Princeton, down near the Garrison livery barn. About 1912 he sold out and went to the Prince George country. The purchaser was a young man who had come here with his family a few years before—-the pioneer Lyall's. George Geddes Lyall had, between spasms of lacrosse, surveying and tooting a horn in the town band, taken time out to qualify for his certificate. He is of course still at the old stand, and looks altogether too young to have been there for a quarter of a century. After a spell at Fort George, Mr. J. R. Campbell, one time Princeton fire-chief and hockey and baseball star, returned to the. Similkameen and opened a pharmacy at Keremeos. With his personable and athletic young son he has lately branched out into general merchandise in a fine new store of his own. found; which is the proper place for them, as any boy knows.

WAS KNOWN k HERE FATALLY injured while riding on a coal car in the Reserve mine, near Nanaimo,. late in July, Samuel Mottishaw, veteran middle- aged miner, formerly of Pr nceton, died shortly afterwards in Nahaimo hospital. Mr. Mottishaw, who was a fireboss, was riding on the trip at the time. A coroner's jury found death was accidental. The late Mr. Mottishaw was well known in the Princeton district. Ke was in charge of the Nine Mile Colliery for a short time, and later was in charge of an operation at Chuchua, hear Kamloicps, where a son, Prank, now resides. Another son. Sam, is in the Bridge River district. The widow and other relatives, reside in the Nanaimo d strict, where the 'funeral was held. Commenting on the the accident in conversation in Vancouver, Mr. James Dickson, Chief Inspector of Mhes, emphasized that laxness in the interpretation of the Coal Mines Regulation Act with respect to riding on trips is far too prevalent . the miner enjoys the privacy of his own tidy suite, shared by a single congenial companion. Ke has running water and a shower. Each bungalow contains five ample rooms, plastered inside, and furnished like a hotel The cottages finished in colored tile outside, make a snug little group. Pour of the bungalows are designed for married employees, five for single. Each bungalow has accommodation for ten men, two to a room, provid ng for 56 in all. Each room has two beds, clothes cioset and locker. PINE NEW HALL READY But the real pride of Nickel Plate is the hall- Now nearing completion and to 'be formally opened soon, it measures 85 feet Dv 51 f^k and vides a playing or dancing area of 72 feet by 50 feet, the largest in che valley. In the basement are showers and change rooms, bowiing alleys and biil'ard hall. There is also a library and reading room and the building is being fequipped with a projection room. An excellent heat, ing plant has been provided. The mess-house has been entire, ly renovated and re-designed and the camp has' the reputation of providing one of the best tables in the land. A new school has been bu'lt, measuring 30 feet by 26 feet, with a full basement, weli lighted and well ventillated class-room and modern heating plant. Altogether they are a happy family at Nickel Plate, with pienty of social activity. The new direct road via Eighteen Mile Creek, completed this spring, brings Nickel Plate-into much closer contact with the outsde world, though there would seem to be i ittie occasion to leave this happy story-book camp.

THURSDAY, 21st OCTOBER, 1937 PAGE SEVEN GRANBY NOW ON SCHEDULE is Mr. Baillie Tells Shareholders Steady Production Will Be Maintained I ONG and tedious process of re- *"' conditioning the Granby plant at Allenby and Copper Mountain is now virtually complete, and the property will shortly swing into full scale production, according to an official progress report issued by est 3 company this week through its general manager, Mr. A. S. Bailie. The 5000 k.w power unit is noo? finished and ready to operate within the next few days and should give the company ample power to operate both the mine and1 mill at capacity. The new foundry plant was completed last July, and nas been used satisfactorily to make balls for the grinders since then. During the reconditioning period, from 1st June, the mine and mill operated at 50 to 70 per cent capacity, and produced about 5,000,000 pounds of copper. Some local power has been used, but the principal supply has been from the West Kootenay lines. With the 5000 k.w. unit operating the mine and mill at capacity will function on 3000 tons of ore daily, and iprodude 2,000,000 pound's of ccpper monthly. This statement covers the period of reconditioning and building of the company's own electric power plant. Beginning with the month of October, when operating on full schedule, the management will be be able to compute current operating costs, which it has not been possible to do during the' reconditioning and construction period, adds the manager^ report. k Principal copper producing companies outside the United States agreed on Friday to curtail their output rate in an effort to prevent a glut. The move, a re-imposition of restrictions under the copper cartel agreement which were abandoned 13th January, resulted in a sharp rise in price after the close of the London Metal Exchange, quotations being boosted £2 ($9.90) a ton to about £50. Trading advices at New York indicated the new restrictions would reflect in a reduction of the output ir. Canada, Europe, South America and South Africa toy about 18,000 tons mothly. The United States is no affeced by the agreement. Capper quotations Wednesday- London—standard spot £48 3s, 9d, off £1 17s 6d. New York—electrolytic 12 3-4 to 13; export $12.55 to $12.60.

The Greeks made notable advances in the study of drugs. As early as 150 BC. a Greek physician prescribed a diet of iettuce, chick.iry and endive, though the Greeks were liberal in their feminine lines. The Middle Ages were in no wise as dark as they are commonly held to be. Knowledge made important gains, but mostly in cloistered seclusion. The discovery of the new world brought many new drugs into the sctenjist's ken—tobacco, sassafras, jalap, balsams and the like; and of course the peanut, a commercial rather than professional attribute to the modern drug counter. By this time the science oi medicine, had become well established, and Valerius Cordus listed prescriptions of 500 drugs,'ihe first pharmacopoeia on record. MEDICINE FROM CHURCH BELL Anatomical studies of bhe human body (including printers) were first made about 1660. In 1638 the effectiveness of quinine against malaria was noted. The 17th Century contributed many useful drugs. In Pissing, it is interesting to note that foxglove (digitalis) one of the commonest of plants and now in the first ten of commonly used drugs, was not discovered until 1775/ and then from an old woman in Shropshire There were some strange super, stitions in the practice of medicine. The wisrd practices of tr bal medicine men are well known. Even religion contributed its share of hokum. One of the beliefs of the Middle Ages was that to be really effective medicine had to be mixed in a church bell There are just as many follies today, most of them devised by unscrupulous fellows who are much more dangerous than the honest but mistaken old duffer of the ca|49w days of the profession.
