Love. — ' Mr. Love who occupied the chair, addressed Mr. Henniger and with a few words of welcome to the new mayor, gave him th* chair. Mr Love stated that he had occupied the' chair for five years and his reason for seeking It again was because of some projects he would have liked to have seen com-, pleted. He expressed the opinion that the new mayor was a moat suitable man the task and assured him of his readiness to help him In as far as hej was able, and wished him every success in his new undertaking. Mr. Henniger then took the chair,1 and thanked Mr. Love for hi* rood wishes.

"v "After I had seen the liorseshc the 'quintette tunnels,* and other feats! of engineering, sad Its remarkable scenery, I am free to say there is noth- inc ln the United States that can touch It, and I've traveled over almost every lias on the continent. What must It be like ln summer?'' Mrr Richmond has returned east, but Intends to visit tbe valley again la • few months to make further investigation.

Overproduction invariably gluts the market,, and, In consequence down comes price, To arrive at a correct estimate of what it required, the growers must cooperate, and oi.1y through cooperation can the industry hope to achieve tbe best results." This, ln brief, la the opinion expressed regarding the fruit industry In the Okariagan valley by Julius Richmond, retired wealthy fruit importer ot New York, who this week completed] a tour, of the valley. While he has not yet made an Investment, he admitted that his trip had a two-fold purpose- business and pleasure.

It bis been found the the placing of the fertiliser with the grain affords a very strong growth of the wheat, which. In addition to adding to the production directly, also has the effect of allowing the grain to gain a decided advantage over the weed seeds which may be in the earth alongside, with, the result |, that the grain gets a decided start.

Old Council's Last Business At the last regular meeting ot the 1939 city council, at which the mayor and four aldermen were present, held on January 13, the passing of the following resolutions was the main business of Interest to the public transacted: A letter was received from Mc- Dlarmtd Se McDlarmid of Vancouver advising the council that the Granny company was prepared to deliver conveyance of smelter properties and requesting that balance ot purchase price of 8500 be paid; alto requesting cheque for 8350 for himself.

The desire It to have something pn the market when the proposition reaches a commercial character that will be understood in It* use and which will be entirely satisfactory. The results so far from the experiments, have been very satisfactory indeed. It has been found on the Prairies that a very conservative application of the fertiliser in the drills results in not only as much as 7 per cent increase in the production, but Is attended with the greater advantage of bringing the crop to maturity about a week or more earlier. this -phenomenon being, governed by Its sugar content and its degree of ripeness. Granulation! does not impair the quality or flavor of honey, nor Is It. as-many suppose, an indication of - adulteration', rather It Is a sign- of purity.- Granulated honey can readily' be returned to its liquid form by standing the container ir) hot water. It should not, however, be heated to more than 140 degrees Fahrenheit, or its flavor and aroma will be destroyed' ai<d the color darkened. If extracted honey is to be stored for any length of time, it should be kept in a cool dark room, but comb honey should be kept warm and dry. Honey is valuable a food because practically all Its sugar Is in reverted form which is readily assimilated by the body and places no tax on the digestive system as do most other sugars. In addition to the sugars it contains certain! other elements that are essential to the human body. As a sweet it is unsur passed. It Is the only sweet that comes unchanged from nature, and was, it one time, the world's only sweet. C P. DOUKHOBORS CONSIDER LEAVING CANADA SASKATOON—The Doukhobors of the Oanora R. BATTLING ICE SHEET LAKES NELSON, Jan. 31—Rushing of a special crew Sunday from the Nelson shipyards with two cars of equipment to West Robson, and lifting ot the stern of the steamer Columbia out of the water so as to replace a broken propellor blade, is the latest incident in the epic battle with ice conditions on the Interior lakes unprecedented In severity, which is being waged by the Canadian Pacific railway, with regular steamers, Ice-breaking barges, extra personnel and repair crews and equipment, ln its endeavor to keep open the transportation services on which the residents of the Arrow lakes territory are wholly dependent and the residents of the Slocan lake towns almost. When last year for the first time in recorded history Slocan lake froze and for a couple ot weeks the ice tied up transportation on that lake, and when sections of the Upper and lower Arrow lakes were Isolated, ln spite of the utmost efforts of the company, to an extent never experienced, It was hot imagined that history would repeat its*!! within a year. VICTORIA—Ouaged by it* four basic industries British Columbia can write down 1939 as the year of Its greatest business progress. A conservative estimate oi forests, mineral, farm and fish products turned out this year places their value at about 8344,000,000 or near the quarter ot a billion mark. Last year, on the same basis ot figuring basic production was around 8343,000,000. White the increase was sot great, oonsider- able satisfaction is expressed in gov- flrtimanfstales hat-in viewer" conditions in some of the industries there was an increase -at all. Lumbering fell Just short of la>t years record* production of 893,787,000. It will, run this year in excess of ninety million dollars which Is in eaeia* of any year except 1938. "livery effort Is being made to open new markets," stated Hon. T. F. Burden, minister of lands. In mining a new record at more than seventy million dollar* shown. Development work carried on is regarded as auguring a year of great er accomplishment In 1830. "The business of mining In this province may reasonably be said to be in a sound and healthy condition," Hon, W. A. Mackenzie, minister of mines, commented. With an estimated production of'| sixty-three > million I dollars against fifty-eight million last year, the farm of the province surpassed all previous figures. On the old basis of reckoning, whloh prevailed up to last year, the $85,000,000 this figure including the carrying over of stock from 1938. , . The most encouraging fact of all is that our mixed farms, upon which British Columbia is building prosperity have gained in popularity and in prosperity the last twelve months," Hon. William Atkinson, minister of agriculture, stated. , The fishing Industry contended against a small-ir pack of salmon and a smaller return of oil from pilchards. It Is expected that the total will fall behind last year's figure of 826,562,691. "In this year most notable progress has fceen made In the conservation of our fishery resources, which, after all, is the most important factor" Hon. S. L. Lowe, commissioner of fisheries, said. The' address of His Majesty King George V at the opening session.of the naval disarmament conference in London, came in very clearly and distinctly over the local radios on Tuesday night. The following is the text of the speech: "Lt is with sincere satisfaction that I am present here to welcome the delegates of the -five principal naval powers assembled with the object of] eliminating the evil results of wasteful competition in naval armaments.. Every nation represented here Is proud of its navy; proud of that navy's past achievements and inspiring traditions. It is not th* fault of these traditions nor of our navies if competition In naval construction, due to the' supposed necessities of policy, has led to a feeling of Insecurity between nations and even to the risk of war. "Since the Great War en, people* arei determined that human statecraft] shall leave nothing undone to prevent repetition of that Ads* and Immense tragedy. In the MgsWste of peace1 which we are seeking to bund up, one of the most important columns Is; agreement between the maritime nations of the llm ltatlon ot naval strength and reduction to a point con-; sistent with national security. The .practical application of the principle of reduction of naval armaments liar in the past proven a matter' of extreme dibculty. Great success ' was achieved in conclusion ot the Washington treaty of 1923 imposing certain limitations on the construction ot capital ships and aircraft carrtem. But SUMMERLAND-LaM week an interested gathering attended the Joint meeting or the Farmers' Institute, Agricultural Society and B. C. F. O. A. The first two organisations' msBatngs were merely formal but the business of the B.OF.GA. held Items of unusual Interest and brought up resolutions of Importance for consideration a the annual gathering of the British Columbia Fruit Orowers association In Vancouver. F. E. Atkinson, specialist in horticultural products work at the Summerland experimental station, was called on for an address on dehydration work as conducted this summer Mr. Atkinson stated that the reason that the work was undertaken at the experimental station was to determine what valuable prroducts could be made from Ihe fruit grown here, and what could be done profitably. He said ne was rather skeptical as to whether next year would be as good a one fo.- experim'ental work as this one, for 1929 was Ideal. The work with prunes here looked promising. Summerland had approximately 100 tons of prunos each year and so it is not a big producer, still Mr. Atkinson thought there were reaon to believe that- better re» - turns might be expected from prunes canned and dehydrated than the grow era now get. He Included that an institution dehydrating and canning could afford to pay 830 tor prunes, but to pay more they would be going higher than their competitors across the line. He considered a six or seven ton dryer would be profitable. The earlier prunes should be canned, th* lasar ones, which have the high sugar content, are better for dehydrating work. Apricots had not shown up very weU for canning and dehydration purpose* hart, Sample ef Prunes He scouted th* Idea of it being practical to sun-dry-here, basing his 1m- preetlan on weather reports or tho past 14 years. He had a bo < of prunes \ that had been deryjlratel atJbC station, and passed them out as -a sample of wh«t could be done. J . Codtln* Moth Control ..

During his recent tour of the west, representatives of the state of Washington and chambers of commerce from cities along the coast met* Premier Mackenzie King when he visited Premier Tolmle and members of British Columbia at the Parliament buildings at Victoria. Such a highway was urged at that time and Mr. King asked for further details. It Is estimated the road would cost 820,008,000 and most ot it would be ln that province. There would be some 60 miles ln the Yukon Territory which no doubt, the federal government would lie ready to construct, EXPERT FROM VERNON mm TO GIVE EVIDENCE AT WASHINGTON D. C VERNON—Maurice Mlddleton left Vernon on Saturday on a visit' to Ottawa and to Washington, DC.'He will be absent from the city for; several weeks. It will be remembered that Mr, Mlddleton spent many weeks last year investing the damage done in Washington by fumes from the smelter at TraU at the Instigation of the Canadian Council of Research. A number of experts were engaged in this work and they will have a preliminary meeting at Ottawa before going to Washington D.C. to attend the sitting of the inter- natilnal commission which Is consider Ing the claims. *a orchard as cultivation machinery. He laid emphasis on the thoroug application, illustrating that if, with such pest* as blister mite, one branch was missed, the whole tree might as well be misted, for it would be re-Infested before the .summer was over. In codling moth prevention he said the contro was now ln the hands of the growers, but the department of agriculture would give all the assistance lt could. The control spray put on the calyx was the most Important, as 60 per cent of the worms enter tho fruit Uiroagh the calyx. A somewhat condensed summary of the Summerland Cooperative Prowers transactions to the first of tho year, presents interesting tacts and figures, especially in bustne:o transactions completed with various kinds of fruit Cherries for 1929 were on the whole satisfactory, and the returns about as good as any other year. Altogether there were 7799 boxes marketed and 9506 pounds sent to the cannery, of which Royal Annes formed the major portion. The price? set ln 1929 wove better than 1928. In 1929 in apricots, 9565 lnx£s we:: marketed and 108,134 pounds were disposed of to the cannery. Plums had a better reception on the market In 1929 than might have been expected considering the price to which prunes went, for prunes were very unsatisfactory owing to American competition. In 1829 there were 4452 ca'.es n".ti!nsi 912S in 1928. Prune.-, marketed were 4546 cases las; •yei.r as ajaincv 7594 cases for 1628. Peaches show little difference in returns In the twtf years'. There wore 11 - 647 boxes last year, with 7147 pounds going to the cannery. Pears brought-a considerably hotter price in 1A29 although fewer wore produced. As for apples, lt Is too early yet to estimate as to sales, etc., and all that can be said Is that apple prion so far as pool? have been rlos-'i, are in advance of the 1928 season.

There is another reference to these, in a later volume of the Memoirs, as 'Leeth brushes.' "Turkish toothbrush" occurs in a list of 'unensils' in the Musaeum Tradescantlanum in 1856. This was probably a stick of drp#on root, which ln common with other roots, was used for that curpose down to the Seventeenth century or even later. Not only the Romans, 2000 years ago, but also our own Queen Elizabeth, used a rough cloth, wrapped around a stick or her finger tor her teeth.

Other laws of the time prohibited Chrismas celebration for fear of disorders, and fodbade cards and dice under penalty of $25 fine. Marriage to one's deceased wife's sister was forbidden; common scolds were punished by ducking the offenders in salt water.

The need has been felt for some time for a concise and up-to-date manual review, comprehensive la) scope and popular in form, of the current economic situation in Ca.-iada, which would esrve as a precis and compendium ol the more voluminous statistical publications already available. The handbook has been prepared with special care looking to the above requirements. In an introduction to the whole, a general survey of the year just passed is given, analysing Its governing influences and the inter-relation of the more important eco.Vimic developments which lt has witnessed. This Is followed by nineteen brief chapters devoted ln turn to the history and institutions of the Domi- nioV its natural resources, the national wealth and income, population, agriculture, forestry, mining, fisheries, water- powers, construction, trade, transportation, finance, labor conditions, education, etc. In each of these, up to the minute information is presented, with a descriptive review of the more Important past conditions out of which the present has developed. Statistical tables appear ln the main in an, Appendix which is divided into two parts, the first tracing the progress of the Dominion in its various manifestations since 1900, and the second giving the more important economic barometrs from month to month during the year just passed. To quote from the minister's foreword: "The handbook has two immediate practical objects: Outside of Canada it will present a balanced picture of Canadian conditions with sufficient historical and descriptive background to render them intelligible and interesting in a broad way, at a time when Canada Is much in the eye of the world as a field for new enterprise. In Canada itself, appearing as it does immediately after the New Year, and taking the basic form of a review a*d interpretation of the years just passed it will assist ln that general discussion and appraisement ol the situation usual to the season of stocktaking, thus helping, it is hoped, to lay foundatioi a for still further national progress In 1930." The handbook Is profusely illustrated with rotogravures and diagrams, and while popular in form omits no crucial analyses of the existing situation In brief lt Is a scientifically conceived but easily assimilible presentation of the data essential in the forming of a measured judgment as to current Canadian progress.

By ERWDi GREER The airplane industry is divided into four main classes: the first, manufacturing; the second, engiieerlng; the third, selling; and the fourth, operating. The boy who desires to enter the aircraft industry should look ov»r the entire field in an effort to deeide which Interests him most. Closely associated with the manufacturing Is the engineering branch of the industry. If a boy is mechanically incllred, has a desire to draw, and an interest ln engineering he should go to one of the colleges which gives courses in aeronautical engineering and obtain the best preparation possible. This branch Of the Industry offers almost unlimited opportunity. The art of the airplane is so new that ore can never tell when some little invention may be made which will revolutionize the industry. The boy who has the opportunity to gain the education necessary for this work should certainly make the most of it. The position of aeronautical engineer bids fair to become one ot the best paid position in the in., dustry; and as yet this field of endeavor is not overcrowded. Of the four branches of endeavor ii • the airplane industry the operating offers the broadest opportunity. By operating Is meant the actual flying, the handltig of the planes on the ground and ln the air, and all the bust ness that goes with such operation. This includes pilots, ground force, and the mechanics. At present the greatest difficulty for the average boy ln learning to fly is the cost of the Instruction. In addition there is the ganger of getting Into an incompetent school. Therefore one should make sure that the school is reliable. A ten- hour course is sufficient in which to learn to fly, but the boy who has finished such a course is very much like a who has been driving ar. automobile bu'. two hours—he is all right as long as everything runs smoothly. The period following the first ten hour solo is a very dangerous one. Therefore, no school should give a person, the Impression that It can make him a competent aviator in ten hours' instruction. After twenty-five hours the average pilot is out of danger and can work along until he gets his industrial pilot's license, and, finally his transport pilot's license. The requirements for these licenses are all given in a pamphlet Issued by the Department of Commerce, Washington, D. C.

ANCIENT HISTORY TWENTY YEARS AGIO IN GRAND PORKS Rev. H. W. Wright, the new pastor of the Baptist Church, was tendered a reception by the various congregations of the city on Thursday. The reception was a gladsome affair. It cost the British Columbia Copper company 10 cents a pou. U to manufacture copper during the month of December. James West, for a lumuer of years proprietor of the West iboarding house at the Granby smelter, has leased the dining room and rooms of the Hotel Colin. The Golden Eagle mliA on the North Fork has closed down temporarily. Pour carloads of ore were shipped from the property last week. THE number of religious denominations ln the United States listed in the 1926 census is 213. Churches reporting liumber 231,933 with an active membership of 84,634,976. 4 In ghostly garb arrayed, five and twenty ladies and gentle me ; miht have been heard clanking their gruesome way across the city to the home of Mr. and Mrs. A. D. Morrison in Columbia. The host and hostess received then- wan'and silent guests with roaTj' tremors, but warmly welcomed them alter their first fear was allayed. The sheeted folK, who assembled at Mr. -and Mrs. Gowland's home, brought with them substantial and toothsome viands, ar.d over the meal some excellent ghost stories were told, a* u WELL-POISED We all admire the graceful, well- poised woman and the man of good carriage. There is in the appearance of these individuals a look of efficiency, energy and of physical and mental alertness which we admire. The drooping round shoulders and relaxed abdomen' of persons who careless of their posture do not give the Impression of the existence of those qualities life which we know make for success and happiness. We should not judge by outside appearances, because it is quite true that appearances, on occasion are deceiving. This is not often the case with the human body because outwardly, lt is the reflection of what we might call the true or Inner man. Right posture, good carriae, proper poise are all desirable. Their absence constitutes a serious loss to th Individual. This is not merely a matter of an attractive personal appearance, but is considered rather on the physical basis that when for example, the person is flat-chested, the organs qt the chest— the lungs an.1 the heart—are constricted, and the abdominal orgs. ,s are forced downv;..rd end out of plac Whe.t the Internal organs ot the body are forced out of their natural position they cannot do their work properly, and so we see that poor posture may be Indirectly the cause of some internal organs being displaced. In ood posture, the Individual stands to his full height, head up, chin ln, chest high, the lower abdomen flat and the spine straight. In sitting, the forward bend should be from the hips the head ai d body should be ln straight line, with the feet resting evenly on the floor. In lying, the body is stretched out, not bent, constant lyil£ on one side is avoided, a low pillow or no pillow at all Is used. To secure and maintain good posture the body must be given attention. The muscles of the back and U-.c abdominal muscles are not sufficiently used by such people as office workers, with the result that they give way and the lower abdomen becomes prominent. Exercise, in any form of game or otherwise, which brings Into play the muscles which are little used in our work life, is needed. Specially devised exercises to deal with particular posture defects generally give good re suits. Good posture is a product of good Jiealth which comes from proper care of the body.

Where once choking Jungle crowded men back, a jungle so thick that a man swimming in a stream could hard ly land because vines and plants hugged so close to the water's edge—broad fields have now been cleared, and Malaya plantations are among the richest In the world. Forty-five years ago a few para ruh ■ ber plants smuggled out of Brazil fruited here. Today, three fourths of the world's rubber comes from this region. And ln tills magic development Americans have played a leading role. This Malay peninsula, stretching hundreds of miles from the Siamese frontier down toward the equator, forms a vast humid region of dense forests of Jungle, wild elephants, snakes, and naked people, rice fields, rubber plantations and tin mii.es..; There is a governmental mixture in this region, Singapore jbullt on a bttt.tr green Isle of the some name, which lies just off the end of the peninsula and nearly 04 the equator, is the capital ot the British crown colony commonly called the Straits Settlements. This colony embraces the province of WeUesley, the Dindings ain Malacca on the mainland, and the islands of Penang and Sligapore. U The Federated Malay states on the peninsula and adjoining the Straits Settlements, comprise the States of Perak, Selaigor, Pahang, and Negri Sembilan. Kuala Lumpur Is the capital, Just opposite Singapore Is the Independent native state of Johore which has its own sultan and government, but which la under British protection. The British governor of Singapore is also high commissioner for the Federated Malay states and BrurJei, and British agent for north Borneo and Sarawak, thus linking up British aosr sessions and spheres of lnfluer.ee in all Malaya and establishing close contact through one man, with the colonial ot' fieejjh London. "* Many Races There "The Melting Pot of Asia" thejfrj .call this prolific, potent peninsula, beoause of the |babel of races, colors and castes which Its wealth of rubber and tin has drawn to It. But lrj all this industrial army of Europeals, Chinese, Japanese, Tamils, Hindus and assorted Sdiith Sea Islanders, the Chinese are the most numerous and powerful. The Malay himself is too lazy even to be a good fisherman He grows a little rice, a tew cocnuts, and nets the fish he needs; but nature is so kind that Is said on* hour's effort a day wil". support him and his family.

Aspirin is an absolute antidote for such pain. Keep it at the office. Have it ready in the home. Those subject to frequent or sudden headaches should carry Aspirin in the handy pocket tin. Until you have used it for headaches, colds, neuralgia, etc., you've no idea how much Aspirin can help. It means quick, complete relief to millions of men and women who use it every year..

The Tamil and the Hindu odd to the stock of local labor aid own small farms and herds, (but the many mlllionares made ill Malaya have mostly been Chinese. The palatial homes of the rich Chinese bosses ln Singapore and Penai'g, ln contrast with the miserable shacks of the natives, afford proof enough of the singular commercial superiority of the yellow race. Here, indeed, Chinese immtgratio . has worked a modern miracle in the magic reclamation of this once reeking, fever-cursed, Jungle-grown wilderness. The Chinese It was who first braved the poisonous darts of the lurking savage, the perils of tigers and reptiles, the flames of fever, and the danger of dysentery, to conquer these Jungles and dig the tin; that put Malaya on the map of the trading world. Chinese say that tin "grows" and they use the divining rod to locate it. Singapore is both a great tradlie center and fortress ot the Far East. It Is a shining example of how Great has "muddled" (as the- British themselves put it) into possession of some of the world's most important strategic gateways. Singapore 1 son islaid 27 miles long by M wide, and Just misses being the southernmost point of the continent of Asia by a half-mile water char.nel. It Is at the funnel point of the Strait of Malacca. How Raffles Made Singapore : r Little^ more than 100 years ago the island owned by the sultan of Johore, was a deserted Jungle save for a little fishing village. Ships, in the China trade passed it by as they passed manor another Jungle shore; the only ports of call in that region ot the world were those on the Dutch islands of Sumatra and Java. But these ports took a big toll in tees, anil Sir. Stam- for Raffles of the East India Company began to dream of a tree British port tut would facilitate trade. In 1818 he obtained the seemingly worthless island of Singapore for his comparer j for asmall fee. Developments proved' him a prophet, for within two years j the little trading centre he established had a population of 10,000. In the littte^iht're'tha'n' ''a hundred years since lt was founded, the jungle of Singapore has given place to a huge city of close to 400,000 population, carrying on a trade valued at a billion dol lars annually—one of the metropolises of the British Empire. Its quays and anchorages serve thousands of craft nf all sorts and sizes from the picturesque graceful Malay sampans and the stodgy Chinese Junks to the familiar freighters of the West, and what Kipling asserts are the "ladylike" liners. They build up Singapore's shipping -a the tremendous total.-ot 17,000,000 tons yearly. Though Singapore Is free from duties, and to this fact owes its very existence, still the people who make up the city take their toll from the stream of world trade that "flows ahou them. They live, lrl fact, by and for, and in an atmosphere of commerce. Tens of thousands make their livings by caring for shipping, conditioning and supply- li« vessels, and taking part ln loading and unloading goods. The port is primarily a trans-shipping point for both ImpprU and exports. It gives what the* ecbriomist' would"' call 'place value' to hundreds of commodities which trickle to Singapore's reservoir of goods from score* of districts In tl.a East sad are th*r* obtainable In the large quantities that world trade demands. In the city's "godowns" ns t>.e East calls Its warehouses, are handled a very large part of the world's finest rubber before lt begins the long Journey taht will take most of lt eventually to American highways. So, too much'of the world's tin is smelted in and shipped from Singapoer. It might be dubbed the 'world's pepper pot,' tor more pepper Is assembled there than is ever held ln any other port. Real Cosmopolitan City If ever a city could claim to be cosmopolitan, Singapore cart At one of the principal world crossroads, and with a population 100 per cent immigrant lt could not escape cosmopolitanism. It has drawri its population from practically all parts of Asia, from Oceania, the Malay archipelago,. Africa Europe and America. The Chinese predominate..making.up-aout one-half the population.
