Nominations on 'Monday. Poll, if needed, 1'hursday. And yet no ono seems to know any thing about an event that used to rock the foundation of the city in tbe early days. The Sun quizzed a number of politicians last night regarding the candidates and their polices. Tbe most popular answer rturnedj ln every case seemed to be, "damflno." Mryor Henniger, bower, gove out one definite statement for publication. He -absolutely refuses to seek re {election. The most frequently mentioned names for the position were William Bonthron and Aid. Simmons. In the aldermanic field everything looks ag dark as p pasture full of black horses. Only one man, we understand, has so far signified his intention of seeking a seat at tbe council table. That man is Mr. Sandued of tbe WWest ward. Among tbe ordinary citizens there seemed to a strong undercurrent of feeling tbat, as the preseut council has started the agitation for a hydro- electrsc plant, they should carry the project to a successful finish. crease in the Australian trade. To the end of October last year British Columbia lias shipped 31,000 000 feet to Australian ports; ,n the same period this year 36,000,000 feet were shipped. Chinese shipments dropped only five ni.lli. n feet Inthe same per.od, namely from 51,000.000 to 46.000,000, which considering conditions .n that country, is regarded as satisfactory, the Japanese lumber trade fell from 132,000,- 000 to 144,000.000 feet.

PLACER MINING INCREA8E Owing to low metal prices mining values in British Columbia for the current year are likely to show a 30 per cent decline as compared w.th 1030. One bright exception Is placer gold mining, which Is expected to show an Increase of about $80,000 In a time of depressed values more men are fnujul saaking for the oue metal that always holds Its own, "Sniping" by Individuals with pan, rocker and small sluice provided a living for many men who otherwise have been out of a Job. VEGETABLES FOR THE ORIENT How Hr.tish Columbia is supplying foodstuffs to the Orient was showu by the cargo taken out ffrom Vancouver by the Empress of Japan on her latest voyage. It included 6500 sacks or crates of potatoes, 400. crates and sacks of onions, and 337 boxes of ap- vles. They were for distribution among the ports of Hongkong, Sbanghjal. Singapore and Manila.. LUMBER SHIPMENTS HOLD UP A gratifying feature of lumber shipments this season has been the In- VER.S'ON.—Central soiling, Astral- ai iand New Zealand trade treaties and freight rates are some of the topics which will be discussed here January 20, 21 and 22, when the annual meet ng of the British Columbia l-'ruit Growers takeB place, The "One Growers' Organization" plan sponsored by Godfrey Isapacs will also be considered during the convention. Interest in the annual meeting is alwass keen and with greater unity among growers throughout the province being sought, and other important problems under considertlon, this year's event is creating larger interest than ever before. . *l!he organization has been in existence more than 40 years, and according to V. B. Robinson, secretary, membership is increasing. 'Full details of the program have not yet been arranged, but it is understood that many prominent horticulturists and leaders of public opin- on will be present. Premier S, F. Tolmie and Hon. T. D. Fiattulio, provincial opposition leader, will be asked to attend. Others who w.ll be Invited aro: flon. William Atkinson, provincial minister of agriculture; J. A. Muuro, deputy minister; J. eA.

The1 children were very good, and did not eat too much plum pudding. Perhaps the puddings nnd pies -were not quite as rich as in previous years, but tbey all had a wonderful time, especially when Santa Clause brought them their lovely presents. —o— Mr. McHaflle, the Rock Creek station agent, left for Penticton two wkeks ago.

They seem ed as if they were trying to make us believe tbat.they had been laying a bushel of eggs. The roosters got quite excited about lt, too. And we wondered what all the commotion was about On going to see what tbe cause was, we discovered that the house cat was closed up in the chicken house and was having the time of her life chasing them. —o— e A couple of farmers who came down to town the day before Christmas o get their mail, got the fright of their lives on going back home. They ran into wbat seemed to be a large bundle of clothes, lying in the middle of the road. On closer Inspection, it looked like a dead man. . On getting out of their sleigh to investigate, they discovered that lt was a neighboring QalUng to Mm, he moved slightly. They then discovered that he was -in a badly intoxicated state. Lifting him up, they got him in the sleigh, and took him home. The road Is not traveled very much, and should it have happened that no one had passed that wpy that night the man would have been found dead in the morning, as he was lying on his back in a deep drunken stupor or sleep. Isater it was learned that he had been celebrating the coming of Christmas in the local tser parlo.-. The.case might have ended in a terrible tragedy. There was an awful lot of chirping going on in town a couple of weeks ago, when lt was klown that there was gulng to be given a big basket social for the tianeflt of tho Brtdesville it-hool at Bridesville. So the local boys got ready to attend. Arriving a little late, the baskets were being auctioned off. Soon a very pretty basket appeared, and the boys were not slow In getting to know the owner of tho basket. Bidding got pretty brisk and keen for the possession of this very attractive basket. At last it knocked down, and finally captured by Joe Qarey for twelve dollars; and surely Joe had a real good time, and of course the owner cf the basket ate supper w.th him. He was the richest man there, and the other boys were rather envious of the good fortune of Joe. 'Many people ln the valley have been put on the dole list. It would surprise many If they knew who were on the list.

Two thousand of these machines aro now being constructed and an additional 30C0 will be in the bauds of companp salesmen on the prairies for the spring trade. Although the company's pending patent on tlie machine will be available to all machinery manufactured ln Canada, the Consolidated will continue to 'manufacture at Tadanac to ensure a desired price level en a f.ictory-to-farmer basis. Tho manufacture of paint from zinc oxides is another case of the ut.llza Hon of hitherto waste products—although in this Instance the paint will be entirely used at tho company's numerous plant, at Warfield, Tadanac and Kltnberley, 11 is estimated that roughly 100 tons of zinc oxides will bo saved daily by the conversion.

The central plant not only supplies heat to tho numerous Tadanac and Warlieltl plant buildings, but. also to a few of the larger buildings in Trail. Although general operations nt the Tadanac reduction plant were lower (luring 1931 than the previous year, thu company was able to maintain the equivalent ataft oil men, due to the | construction work at Warfleld, A five- day week plan has been in effect at Tadanac since August 1. and nt Kim- berlQX a six-day plan was inaugurated at the same time, rather than reducing tho crews.

Dispatches from Vernon said shippers who did nut reserve space for apple shipments prior to September 1.1 must now pay ln United States funds for transportation of "British products from a British port to a British port in u Uritish ship." Those who bookodspace earlier are permitted to pay In Canadian funds but tho others, through the big discount ou Canadian money, are deprived of expected advantages from recent reductions in the rate themselves. Under Old Contracts 1 radically the whole Okanagan 11 op ;s being moved under contracts made last Jul; and August, shipping men replied today. Under these con- tracts the growers pay in Canadian money. Tlie amount of the trnde coming- under the United States gold rate .-.ould lie very small, it was declared. *J he apple shippers will face exchange handicaps iext season unless the situat.on changes in the mean- lime, as it may, hut for the present the growers are getting the benefits f Canadian funds and rate reductions as I'.i'll. tlio shipping men declared. The United States gold dollar became the husls of all rates to Europe last September when the Pacific Coast European conference, including British l.nes, ubrogated all pound sterling quotations following Britain's departure from the gold standard. Protest to Ottawa Vancouver shippers- protested both to tlie Dominion government and to ihe conference against the additional costs this placod upon them through depreciation of tlie Canadian dolhvr. Steamship carriers, however, stuck to the position that they have no control over fluctuations in exchange, that they cannot speculate In It and that therefore they must hold to tbe single standard of g Id freights. It wi's poiuted out, too. that al- though Canadian shippers are handicapped by exchange In the rates, they have soiling advantages over United States competitors In European mar- l;ols by rea.ion of the same decline In value of Canadian funds. Rate Reduction The rate reductions on apple ship- ments were mudo this month following ::im.lar action by the transcontinental railways and Atlantic lines. Tho railways cut rutes from $1.50 to $1.13 per 100 pounds. The Atlantic companies cut ocean freights! to Britain from lio cents to 23 cents per liux fur ordinary stowage and from 30 U 40 cents for refrigerator stowage. The Pacific l.nes responded at once with a cut of 10 and 13 cents for the all-water route To the principal ports nl the United Kingdom and the continent tlie rate was made 75 cents a box; to French' ports of call, 80 cents; •lo Norway and Sweden. 90 cents, and to the Mediterranean, $1.1S. The old rates were 00 cents to tha United Kingdom und the continent; $1. 3 to Scandinavia; und $1.15 to the Mediterranean. Traffic at Outport of Cascade During 1931 A. J.

It is our firm belief that i town thai can support more than one newspaper should have liioio tluin one newspaper. Where onere is only one newbpaper in a town or city, lt rarely expresses the ■sentiments of all the citizens. It often happens that it does nut express 'he sentiments of any of them. It merely carries the opinions of one person, who. it frequently happens, is not overbuidened w.th foresight.

Something had awakened iu the minds and spirits of the men there which wus so to influence the world Ihat the slow passage of long time, of century upon century and the shattering chouses tney Drought, would be powerless to wear away that deey Impress. Athens had entered upon her br.ef and iqogniffcnt Dowering of genius which so molded the world uf mind and of spiiil that our mind and spirit today are different. We think and feel dlfferentlp because of what a I.tile Greek town did during a century or two 3100 years ago. Whol was then produced of art and of thought lias never been surpassed and very rarely equaled, aud the stomp of it is upon all art and all the thought of the western world. And yet ibis full stature of greatness came to pass at o lime when the mighty civilizations of the ancient world had perished und the shadow of "effortless barbarism" was duik upan the earth.

I'dBt1, OF THE dattabtan Hfrtoal Aoaariaiifln lisllldd-by GRANT FLEMING, M.D. ~ ASSOCIATE SECRETARY SELF-INTEREST During the Christmas season, any suggestion of self interest is frowned upon and is kept fairly well iu the background. The Christmas season Is the time of year when tlie spirit of unselfishness, of doing for others, is uppermost. Now that Christmas is past, if ma.s be sesusonable to mention that, with regard to oie tiling, self-interest is necessary and Is, indeed, a commendable virtue. We refer to tlie matter of personal health. Personal health Is not a gift. True it is that some of us start life better. endowed than others because of great-Ihouor wllh " look °r «nBUlsh on nlB er physical and mental potentialities.: ace' What happens, aud whether or not I "0h' ',lwlse'' llB bc««e(1- "' a8k J™' Physical and menial health are cu- is ,hiM «■*' lm "ot » »™™y°'- If producing Unusual tilings is any indication of land's fertility, the farm around West .Memphis, Ark., must be unusually lei tile. j\ W.

THE most Otfmmon Jock now in use on exterior doors of buildings is the cyllndor lock developed by Linus Tale, .ir., and this leads us back into history. Primitive prototypes oi bale's invention were in use in Mesopotamia anil Egypt as early as 2000 li.C. These were huge wooden oliju.rs requiring cumbersome keys, au we may gather form the Uiblican passage (Isaiah 122:221, "And the key to the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder." This key, or muftali us i twos and still is rolled in tlie East, is astiek of wood from IB to 30 inches long, 2 lo 4 inches broad and 1 to 2 Inches thick. Into the face ol one end are set a number of wooden or Iron pegs abou! an inch long. These pegs correspond with as many holes in tho wooden bar or bolt which locks the door and can only be lifted when these' pegs enter the holes und lift a corresponding series of p.lis which drop home by force of gravity ond keep the bar lockt^l until preised by the key with its pegs, such huge keys opened the way into tlie mighty palaces of Ninevah and lersepolis and admitted to "hundred-gated Thebes." Today in miniature and more refined fashion, the smoll key that enters the cylinder lock pushes up the little brass pins inside and permits the opening of the door. MANY of tlie oak trees in Windsor park are at least o thousand years old.

There is a modern village of the name, but tho Sita ot the ancient Moratbon is occupied now by a town called Vi-aua, Along with tlie neighboring towns, ths old Marathon belonged to un old llunseatlc league called the Tetrapoiis. This league claimed a very early origin, legend carrying ,t bock to tho time of Theseus, and it survived unt.l alter the fourth century Il.C. The plain of Marathon is famous as the decisive battle in which Mlltlados led thu Athenians and Plateans to voctory over the army of Darius under command of Datis ond Artephcrnes ,n H.C. 490. The Greeks numbered about 10,000 while the Persians had p much larger force. But the invaders were put utterly to rout with heavy loss, while the Greeks lost only 192 men. Ilhe great mound in which the remains of these dead were placed is still conspicuous on the plain. The battle turned bock the eastern invasion of Europe and saved Athens; and, accord,ng to Greek tradition, a Greek runner sped without stopping from .Marathon to Athens bearing the tidings of victory. joyed, depend upon the Individual. Health cannot be given to the indlvid-1 ual by some one else. This statement needs to be modified with regard to tlio first years of life. During that period, tho child Is dependant upon his parents. The start in life is so Important, end it influences the later years to such an extent that we may fairly say that parents can make a gift of the foundations of health to their young child. After childhood, Ihe individual becomes responsible for his own health, lie may be helped by the suleguards against disease which are provided for him by the community iu which he lives. His way may be made more easy because facilities are readily available for the practice of healthy living, ln the flniil analysis, his own personal habits of living will determine whether or not he has health, as well as the measure of health which he enjoys. Iu order to have health, it is necessary that we know how to live so as to eisure that body and mind receive from us the care required to keep tlieiit in good condition. Knowledge, In itself, is worthless unless lt Is put to use. It is the way we live, not merely what we know of how to live, that determines our health. Tthe health habits which are of such great Importance and the practice f which is a matter of self-interest are neither numerous nor difficult. They do not entail any added expense.

Can Oder THERE are fifty-five regular weekly newspapers in British Colombia. They are published In a widely scattered field in communities with populations of from 300 to 4M to one of 10,000. Sixteen are published In communities of less than 1000 population; fifteen in communities of 1000 to 2000 population; seven in communities of 4000 to 6000; four in communities over 6000 to 10,000. These weeklies appeal to 145,000 of British Columbia's population. The news In these newspapers is mostly all local, because that is what Interests the readers, and the advertisements for the most part tell what local merchants are doing. The country editor knows the people he serves; they are farmers, lumbermen, miners, fishermen, prospectors, laborers, all. It Is estimated tbat the average farm family spends $2000 every year for things which are not necessary to raise crops. The total sum that is spent by fanners In the United States for those things with which to live well Is the appaiing sum of thirteen billion dollars. Seventy-two per cent, of all automobiles sold go to people living in towns and comunitles of less ihun 5000 population. Using the same proportionate figures to estimate the buying power of tbe rural population of British Columbia served by the weekly newspaper! of the province, and we have something like 10,000 automobiles purchased by residents of the province In towns and communities of less than 5000 population, and W,000,000 spent every year by these rural families for things which are not necessary to raise cops. If one is inclined to think that only a few people, and an insignificant few at that, live in country communities served by tbe weekly newspapers let him study these figures or consult the last census statistics.

Lack of advertising is killing ma,ny u business that should show increasing business instead of decreasing business. Peple have been educated to the fact that well advertised products aio the quality kind and thep won't buy any other. Continuous advertising of quality creates i, buying demand which assures the advertiser quicker turnover. Anp business in this day and time cannot stand still, l'rogress and competition demand that it move ahead or go out oil business. Continuous advertising of quality and service builds and keeps the uiu- tidence of tlie public. Without the confidence of the public, no business can move aheul. Continuous advertising is the modern \^iy of building better business. It proves to the public that the advertisers are proud Of what they have for sale. Anything woclth selling is worth advertising. Advertising is the roost egective selling help that can be found, because continuous advertising paves the wap to bigrjer sales. Every business having something to sell should advertise continuously so the public may know who they arc, where thep are, and what they nave for sale.

Speit more than $11,000,000 on new Branch LImb and station buildings and provided 351,000 days work for men otherwise unemployed. Cooperated by doing work years ahead. ' Mnce the commencement of the ► l existing economic situation the . anadian Pacific Railway has L,)cnt a matter of eleven to twelve million dollars in providing work for unemployed Canadians. When it was apparent in the late summer of 1930, that certain areas of southern Saskatchewan were to sutler from almost complete crop failure, the Company took upon itself to assist tho people in that territory by beginning the construction of a branch line between Vanguard Hr. E. W. Bssaity tlijirman am! i'rejiitrnt .'anadian Pacific Itv and May ronne. This line would not, in the ordinary course of events, have been built for some time, and certainly not at a time when there was no crop available in that particular territory.

With the Canadian dollar where it is in the market, there is a marked tendency to keep it at home and many Canadians are spending, or planning to apend, the winter amid the beauties of Gritish Columbia, instead of "going south". Fifteen per cent can mean n whole lot of dollars and the Uritish Columbia coastline is one ol nature's most beautiful spots, anyway. There are 32,209 schools or colleges in Csnada, taught by 83,144 teachers and attended by 2,490,623 pupils, or one quarter of the Dominion's population. The average expenditure is about $06 on each pupil enrolled. Attendant is on the up grade, beinf! 77 pet cent for the whole Dominion, as against 64.7 in 1919. And thc future of technical education t« assured, lor the Technical Kdu- caticl Act provides lor Kedera! grants ol $750,000 per year lor 16 years, which means that the night schools will be able to run, to say nothini! ol the day courses in technics' iiutstuUeu*. , sjsssjj, ueaireu tn give employment to the farmers ».*i their teams in tho drought it-ea. The total cost of the lino is S^S^A to ,be, approximately (11,000,000, and this work is still l*oceeding. The Dominion Government sub- »»<|uently undertook considerable * >rk for the unemployment relief ii id the Canadian Pacific was riled upon to cooperate. This fie'Company did to the limit of its anility by anticipating works viich would, normally, not have ll-jen started for a number of years. These works included a number of new branch lines, the building of a new station at Regina, some grade revision in British Columbia, asd also the application on varilBs subdivisions of new rail and new rock and gravel ballast. The tot* cost of these works were estimated at $11,514,000 and, according ta agreement with the Government are to be completed at the end « the current year. It is true that the Dominion agreed to pay interest for a limited period on this capital cost, but after receipt of this interest, the Canadian Pacific will still have expended over $10,600,000 from its own Treasury in order to improve the situation in the country generally. This expenditure has been made at a time when the Company's revenues are suffering severely as a result of business depression. This programme of work, undertaken in order to cooperate with the Government, had given 3151,000 days work to individuals otherwise unemployed u p to Au gust 31st I ast, and at September 14th it was estimated that approximately 100,- 000 more working days would be furnished before the works were completed. Although the Company has succeeded in making substantial reductions in operating costs, it has hesitated to pursue its policy of economy to the limit out of regard for the serious obligation which rests upon all corporations to give as much employment as possible While protecting the interest of shareholders as far as is consistent with its duty to the country, the Canadian Pacific has been conservative in its application of measures which would increase the number of unemployed in Canada. Only recently, after experiencing very severe decreases in earnings, have they pared down their forces to the bare essentials necessary for operation. ictona, Canada's evergreen plnygrotind, offers a striking contr* to the rest of tho Dominion during the winter months, for while ,M other parts of tho country aro blanketed ln snow, summer nc«-«- really losses Us domination there.
