Tourists Contribute Good Portion of The Revenue In Calif.
Says Herman Wendt Of The East End, Who Returned On Thursday From A Trip To California—Visualizes Con- ditions In The Peace’ River When The Monkman Pass Highway is Constructed. “To realize what the -tourist trade
means to a country one should take a
trip into southern. California, where
tourists contribute a. good percentage of the revenue of that part of the state.” This statement was made. to
The Tribune reporter by Herman
‘Wandt of the Kast End, who returned
on Thursday from California, where he
spent two months.
Mr. Wendt, who is a real booster for the Monkman Pass highway project, went on to visualize the improved con- dition in this country when the high- way is cunstructed. He said that thousands of tourists will find their way into this north country as soon as they know that they can get in and out on an all-weather highway.
The East Ender travelled by bus both ways from amonton, the route being along the west coast.
One of the many things that struck Mr. Wendt was the cheapness of fruit. Oranges a little larger than Jap orange were selling at nine dozen for 25 cents, and large grapefruit at 25 cents a dozen. All other fruits were in proportion.
Prices in the ordinary restaurants were about the same as Grande Prairie. Clothes were cheaper and boots and shoes prices about the same as here.
Among the places visited were Eureka, Oakland, San Jose, Santa Barbara, Los Angeles and San Fran- cisco. At the latter place he had the pleasure of travelling over the new eight-mile-long bridge.
Mr, Wendt, after observing that he had a wonderful trip, added: “I am pleased to find here such delightful weather. It looks as though we will be on the land early this spring.”
At Santa Barbara Mr. Wendt spent a few days with Mr. and Mrs. “Mel” Tallon, formerly of Grande Prairie. “Me),” who is working at his trade as @ painter, is doing well.
Crystal Creek Dist. Solidly Back Of The M. P. H. A. Project
CRYSTAL CREEK, Mar. 26.—There was a large turn-out at the meeting held here in the hall on Friday night, March 25, in the interest of the Monk- man Pass highway project. The Monkman Pass Highway Association was represented by F. Gordon Fawkes, Albert Smith and Alex. Monkman.
Chris Fleming, who was in the chair, said the community was solidly behind the proposed highway and would give all possible assistance.
Mr. Fawkes gave a brief outline of the activities of the organization and set forth its aims.
Albert Smith discussed the financial side, stressing the fact that notwith- standing that most of the work is voluntary, it is taking considerable money to put the scheme across.
Lantern slides were shown of pic- tures taken in the pass. The pictures, which proved highly interesting and educational, were explained by Alex, Monkman, who last fall made a trip through the pass to Prince George.
Norman Moon, who is a real booster for the highway, accompanied the representatives, .
Forty dollars were taken In admia- = nar all of which. was turned over to
association. On top of this donations in oats and other things were made to be used in regi with the cutting of the

Wheat Pool Report Pool Report ‘Shows Substantial
Improvement
Saye ©. H. Kei Teh, A Director Of The Alberta What Pool—-Last Six Years’ Operations Most Encouraging And Future Looks Bright.
Accoraing to E. H. Keith of Scenic Heights, a director of the Alberta Wheat Pool, who was in Grande Prairie on Thursday, the Wheat Pool is gradually and substantially im- proving ite financial position.
Mr. Keith gave to The Tribune the following financial statement, which gives in detail the exact standing of the Wheat Pool at the present time. “This statement indicates the exact position of the Pool,” remarked Mr. Keith, who added that the future looks very bright. The report:
At the commencement of the 1931-32 season the ‘Alberta Wheat Pool'’s ob- ligations tu the province of Alberta arising out of the 1929 Pool over- payment amounted to $5,649,000. In addition the bank loan on the Pool terminal amounfed to $1,750,000. This made a total indebtedness at that time in connection with the Pool capital structure of $7,899,000.
As a result of the operations of Alberta Pool Elevators over the past six years the debt to the province was reduced as at September 1, 1937, to $4,705,000 and the bank loan on the terminal property has been paid for in full. In addition the Pool has paid interest to the province over the past
the banks on the terminal loan of $320,000,
Furthermore, after providing pay- ment on September 1, 1937, in respect to the cleaning up of the terminai loan as well as the instalment of principal due the province of Alberta, Alberta Pool's liquid assets have improved to July 165, 1931, to the extent of approx- imately $600,000.

C.C.F. Clubs To Be Formed in Every Section Qf The Peace — To Confine Efforts For Present To Educational Work—Cooperation Of All Progres- sive Groups Asked For.
At a fairly well attended meeting at which there were representatives from Hythe and Beaver Lodge, held in the dining room of the Grande Prairie Hotel on Tuesday night, a C.C.F. club was formed, Several ladies also were present.
Ga. F, Cooke was elected president and I. V. Macklin secretary. Other officers will be elected later.
Before the élection of officers there was a round table talk on the money question and general economics.
Whether the C.C.F. sympathizers should organise and immediately in- vade the political field or form groups and carry on educational work was discussed at some léngth.
It was decided that the latter course should be adopted and fer the time being effarta should be put forth to inform the people on the economic phases of the problems which confront the Canadian people,
It was made quite clear that the organization had no quarrel with members of other progressive groups and would welcome their cooperation,
It is planed to organize C.C.F. clubs in every section of the Peace Fiver.
The new organization, which is the firat of {ts kind in the Peace River, will be known as the Grande Prairie C.c.F. Club,

would be well
to use the old rink for the next few years and in the meantime make pians for the building of a new rink.
Gordon Orr informed the meeting that a certain party (believed to he Frank Donald) was willing to build a $9,000 rink and lease it to the Curling Club. Some thought that the club should build its own rink.
The whole question was handed on to the incoming executive.

as one of the great sound pictures and is attracting record crowds all over Canada, will be the offering at the Capitol Theatre, Grande Prairie, on April 7, 8 and 9
The Grande Prairie branch of the Canadian Legion chose the dates ow- ing to the fact that April 9 is the anniversary of the taking of Vimy
by Canadian troops.

Every Canadian, young and old, should see this colorful picture, which reflects in part what Canadian boys
did in the Great War.

POWER EXPORTS
The enabling legislation which
places upon Parliament the responsi- bility of granting HMeenses for the export of power was passed this week. This bill was sponsored by the Prime Minister himself, and although all parties were agreed that export o power is wrong in principle, the debate
was nevertheless marked by bitter attacks by Arthur Slaght (Liberal) from Parry Sound.
It seems that Mr. Slaght,
' undoubt- | counselling with Mr. Hep- | burn, had reached the conclusion that there was a “cabal organized by cer- | tain elements to oppose the export of power, but all members of the House of Commons, including the Prime Minister, resented his unwarranted attack. It was most improper. I lis- tened to his speech carefully, and my impression was that Mr. Slaght had had his speech in cold storage for many a month, and was determined to deliver it. Well, he did, but the man-
ner in which it was done certainly did} not increase the prestige of one who is so highly placed in the ranks of the Bar Association of Ontario, It should
not be forgotten either that Mr. Slaght was, until recently, the legal repre- sentative of large Quebec power com-, panies and undoubtedly received from them substantial retaining fees. In any event, the bill was passed and the position now is that if any province or individual desires to export power it will be necessary to have a private bill passed in the House of Commons granting a license,
Mr. Hepburn has too much power~- at least he has bought too much power from the Quebec power companies, and he wants to export some of this power. That is why he has applied to Parlia- ment for permission to export power to the United States, and Parliament, with reservations, is ready to comply. Mr. Hepburn, unfortunately, did not reckon with Mr. Roosevelt; after all, Mr. Roosevelt is the President of the United States and must have some- thing to say about importa into his own country. Mr. Roosevelt did say something and he said plenty. Nobody was going to have his permission to i rt power Into the United States, a so Mr. Hepburn is now looking for some inventor who will make it pos- sible to send power over the wireless to some other country. If the United States does not want the power, then where in the world can he export to?
That, however, is Mr, Hepburn's worry. The Quebec power compantss have his name on the dotted line on behalf of the province of Ontario, so whether he can export power or not, he's got to pay for it.

The further fact that villages, towns and cities make nv contri- bution further axgravates the situation.
When the above facts were brought to the attention of the Minister of Education by a resolu- tion from a convention of the U.F.A. last fall, he replied that the government would give serious consideration to their request of increased grants to poorer school districts but there is no indication to date that any increase is con- templated this year.

Like so many professional humor- ists, Americans are sometimes funniest when they are upintentionally funny.

banks found themselves in very much
the same situation as later developed in the United States and they had to
have relief in some form. Now if the ,government came right out and stub- sidized the Canadian banks, the people |might lose confidence. The idea of
banks having to get relief would not look very encouraging to the de-
| positors, so, as there was much agita-
tion by certain political groups for a
nationally owned central bank, it made it much easier to establish a privately | owned central bank in the form of a joint stock company to be known as
the Bank of Canada, which bank was to act in Canada about the same as the Federal Reserve Bank of the United States. The establishing of the Bank of Canada did not rectify the
jexchange on Canadian money with the | foreign exchange banks, so the govern- jment of the day handed over fifty
million dollars Canadian government money te the Bank of Canada, and thereby satisfied the international ex- change bankers, and our money be-
came par again on the exchange.

ment are under double liability through the shares they hold in the Bank of Canada.

Pliny, the ancient philosopher, said, that a piece of land, well tended, was a gold mine for all time; which piece of fundamental knowledge, if acted up to, puts the homesteauer and the half- section farmer on a par with the pre- sent day Wall Street tinencier. With his axe, the homesteader nas the privi- lege to leave his child*en a better her-
itage, than the finane si with his in- | }surance premiums.
We propose to plan from this angle
|with no detrimenta) effects to cither,
but with a fair deal tc both. To view the Social Credit theory from “a break with Aberhart and the whole thing will flop,” is utterly erroneous. We

on the job, not knowing what he was up against. He’ made a mistake in accepting the ort! cdox style of admin- istration, for which he apologized over the radio. We have the one unshak- able platform ever ¢«ffered the people; we need a widely ; .perienced gentie- man, who has bev. around, knows what he is going »" de when he gets there; and has the u.sw5uszary fortitude to stay with it it he ever had to tighten his belt in#w:cad of eating, that will be counted an additional qualifi- cation.
In an endeavour ‘. solve the problem we have pursued ths subject to the end that the fina, revit is Labour Plus Kesources versus Money pius Financial Intrigue. To give a coheg- ent slogan to our forts to solve the problem we say:
“Sell all products to the Gov- ernment, and buy all goods and services from the Government.”
We propose to substitute units of labour or hours of labour, for the pre- sent dollar basis--a government bowb.- credit instead of the present banking system. To give a graphic descrip- tion, we take wheat, coarse grains, and livestock. By contract, these produets

Oil and Cooperation
With some of un cooperation is not only a better way for business but a better way of life than competition. For quarter of a century we have tried to help along every effort to establisii

each consumer buy his own barrels, but who will volunteer the $3,500 for facilities at this point or the $20,000 for facilities to cover the north coun- try? How many are prepared to put up cash in advance for their share of the tank carload?
The spread in price may be consider- able, but an agent to dish out the oil to consumers must be given his living, and if the farmers during seeding or threshing do not go for the gus, the
delivery charges will further diminish >
the spread. We have known co-ops to go broke because of the credit they gave. It is easy to lose money in oil. Then frequent inspections and audits are necessary and cost money
Others may have insight into the oil business which we lack, but after con- siderable study of the situation during recent months we are convinced that the proposition chosen by the refinery shareholders was the best. There is nothing to lose and considerable to gain, and the gains become greater as time goes on. The goods carry a money-back guarantee, and the service is efficient.
“Divided we fall” an easy prey to exorbitant prices, but “united we (could) stand” up against an oil or any other monopoly to demand and enforce practically “service at cost.” The organized farmers of Alberta seek to effect that unity, are you also for unity among oil consumers?
AERONAUTICAL TIT-BITS
By J. W. Neil DOING THE RIGHT THING
America generally does the right thing if left to itself long enough. Sometime during the week ended February 14, according to “Time,” New York, Executive Secretary Joseph Green of the State Department Na- tional Munitions Control Board signed a license for the shipment to Germany
of 2,000,000 cubic feet of helium for |
the Zeppelin Company. “Time,” for some reason best known to itself, calls the ships “Nazi dirigibles."” Presum- ably they are Nazi as they all bear the Hakenkreutz sign, but why not call them German? And why call them dirigibles when the word was discarded a¢ronauticaily twenty-five years ago’ It came into being to dis-

Association; The Grande Prairie Cooperative Store; The Seed Growers’ Association; Also grain handling companies.
When cooperative vil wad suggested, naturally we were ali for it, and pre- pared to take our chance with others. Since, however, the enterprise has been rather messed up by the promoter we wave not been able to secure an ex- tension of time from outside authori- ties for the further development of the original aim.
In view also of Alberta's recent rapid passage from the position of an importer of crude oil to a pruvince tooking for outlets for over-pruduction, the wisdom of large outlay here would seem unwise just at the, present time, even if the funds were on hand. At any rate progress along the original line being biocked and being udvised by the supervisor for the province to attempt cooperative distribution first, there remained three courses avail- able: ‘ First, no action; second co- operative distribution by the Seed Growers; third, cooperative distribu- tion by the U-F-A.
Having made every effort “to obtain @ clear picture of the relative edvan- tages of either course to the people of the North, we were convinced that the toird course was the best.

“Time” continues: “For making the first break in the United States gov- ernment’s virtual monopoly of the world's supply (of helium) the Board forestalled anti-Nazi criticism by ex- plaining: (1) That U. 8. stores are adequate for several hundred years; (2) That the U. S. could not morally prevent the distribution of a gas with impo tant laboratory and medical user (notably in oxygen tests); (3) That for the 17,900,000 cubic feet Germany will receive in 19368 there will be a formal quid pro quo—two naval observers will ride on each German Zeppelin using the gas, and thus get valuable training in lghter-than-air navigation, which the U. S. with al! ite big airships wrecked or grounded no longer pro- vides.”
That is a sensible idea. Sooner or later the American Zeppelin Company, which is the Goodyear Company of Akron, Ohio, will start building air- ships again. Very gradually the feel- ing is growing that helium-filied air- ships with Diesel engines are aout the safest long-range transport craft and war-time scouts thet can be bulit.

a picture of a Fairchild with R.A.F. markings, plus the legend: “Though the British hate to admit it, they ad- mire—and buy—many an American aeroplane. This Fairchild is used by the British for important fast liason work.” This obviously suggests to his readers that the Royal Air Force is craving for quantities of Fairchildren. As a matter of fact, the machine illus- trated is one which was bought in the United States for the use of the Air Attache at the British Embassy in \Vashington to help him to get over the face of the United States more quickly. It is precisely analogous to the use while in Britain of a D. H. Moth by one of the U. 8S. Naval Air Attaches a year or.so ago. In each case the Embassy was saved the trouble and expense of having one of its own aeroplanes packed and shipped and unpacked and erected. -And the fact that an aviator of one nation should use an aeroplane of another nation was merely an indication of good feeling, besides giving the Air: Attache some experience of the prod- ucts of the country in which he was working, and making easier the care and maintenance of the machine.
Elsewhere in the article the author says: “Other types of Northrop attack planes have been purchased by~-China and Great Britain.” The fact is that several years ago the Air Ministry bought one Northrop for experimental tests. It was also lent to various firms in Britain so that they could see something of the Northrop system of metal construction and so that- their pilots could fly with Northrop flaps and compare them with British ver- sions.
Another ingenious yarn is the state- ment: “The British Royal Air Force is testing its newest and most powerful motor in an American airplane. . None of the current British planes were considered sufficiently well built to stand the strain of being jerked around by 1400 h.p. ... The engine of a British 14-cylinder two-row radial called the Hercules ... The airplane is a specially built Northrop Al7... .” Actually the British Air Force had nothing to do with it. The machine was bought by the Bristol Company itself for certain specific reasons which had nothing to do with the fact that there are no British machines to stand being jerked around by 1400 h.p. The fact was that everybody in Britain was too busy building machines for the R.A.F. to spare one as a flying test bed. The Northrop could be bought out of stock, off a hook, even though it had to be strengthened up to become “specially built.”

Ans.: 1. While formaldehyde has a certain degree of adverse effect up- on germination and seed vitality it is less serious with oats than with wheai. Before the mercuric dusts came on the market formaldehyde was advan- tageously employed and we would by all means advise using it rather than no fungicide at all.
2. Grain treated with formaldehyde is safe to feed. Grain treated with the mercuric dusts is unsafe.

Calculating Flow of Grain Through a Seeder Would you be kind enough to let ue know the way to figure out the amount of grain sceded by a drill, per acre. You may answer this through your “Timely Hints” which we always read with great attention. Congratulations for your latest broadcasts over CFGP “re admixtures of Garnet” etc. We are sure that it will be a very great help for many farmers who were ready to make a very bfg mistake. M. P., Grande Prairie, Alta
Ans.: We use the following method to determine the rate of seeding by a grain drill. Lift the drill off the ground and rest it on four blocks. Sef the index lever at the rate desired Put some grain in the box and turn a drive wheel until the grain is running in all spouts. Now place a tarpaulin or other receptacle under the drill to eatch the grain and apply the formula

Southern Alberta where I lived. Aj! the neighbors I have talked to think » single-disc drill is best. Three hund- red and thirty-five dollars is a lot of money to pay for the wrong machine J. J., Cherry Point, Alta.
Ans.: The Division of Field Husb- andry, Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa, Ont... reperts that press drills are favored in some areas, particularly for combination work such as pulling a disc behind. The Swift Current Station's seed. drill experiments up to 1930 showed no yield advantege for the low press drill or double-disc drill with press attachment as compared to the double disc drill. However, during the past six years since trash covers have be- come a factor, tests with various types ef packers on one-way-disced land with trash cover have indicated that certain types of packers have some merit in firming the soil below the surface and filling the spaces around the seed created by trash. The most satisfactory types are the large nar- row cast wheels with wedge-shaped rim spaced to travel 5 to 6 or 8 inches apart, press wheel packers with nar- row rims and packers made from worn dri"! /
or cultivator with press-drili
out dises from aie doubie-disc placed on a shaft at 3- to 5-inches intervals. Surface types of packers are reported unsatisfactory due to the breaking down of protective lumps of soil and stubble.
The Montana Experiment pounds for a double-dise drill pounds for a press drill.
M. J. Tinline, Superintendent of the Brandon Experimental Farm, and for- merly at Scott, Sask., remarks that press drills are rather extensively used on the lighter soils of southwestern Manitoba but not on the heavier lands. The Experimental Farm itself does not find it advisable to use one, although farming two sections of light soil near Melita, in a reclamation pro- ject. Its objection is that the press wheels have a pulverizing effect on the soil in the bottom of the furrow and by the suction of the wind the dust is carried away. It prefers to use an ordinary seed drill and the V- shaped packer.
In a three-year experiment at Scott the use of the press drill did not in- crease yields.
The Lacombe station has used a press drill but donated it to Scott for a test of various drill types.
Says the Field Husbandry Division, “It would appear that press wheels are not designed for wet conditions. Some of the newer designs are termed ‘low’ press drills and would, no doubt, be easier to fill. One make is equipped with automotive type steering and the front wheels are placed wider apart to improve turning.
“The question of single versus the double disc.”” it goes on to say, “is largely a question of penetration. The double-disc will give more uniform depth while the single-disc has the best penetration.”
The Beaverlodge Substation has two single-disc seeders and one double- disc. In a new district where the
and 65
land is often rough and turfy the single-disc has certain advantages. On older land the double-disc has the

ward into the park belt. This has brought the outbreak into new terrt- tory where the serowers are unaccus- tomed to carrying on control work. Fortunately most of this area is but lightly infested and though losses of crops may occur here and there, with
the control campaign in prospect the reduction of crop need not be serious.

However, this increase was entirely in lightly infested category. The surveys for the year show also that there are 27,768,220 acres lightly infested, an increase over 1987 of 8.- 842,400 acres.

Forecast for Alberta
The forecast for Alberta in 1938 is for an outbreak of a somewhat de creased intensity but, as in Saskatche- wan, with grasshoppers present = in greater or less abundance over a much wider tervitory than in 1987. The out- break in the past year was only second in seriousness and threatened destruc-

the province continue and well-organized campaign to avoid ruinous losses of crop in very large districts The most striking features of the situation are the increase in the very severely infested district between Lethbridge and Calgary, the eastward spread of infested territory in the south, and the great northward exten- sion of the infested area. Fortunately, a great proportion of the increase of territory involved in but lightly in- fested and will not require organize control, Here and there, however, as elsewhere in this category, outbreaks of economic concern may oceur in the so-called light and patchy zone which will require attention, and in any area
where grassheppers were noticeably abundant in 1987 farmers should be on the alert in the early season,
In all, an area of some 25,200,240
acres in Alberta in one or another de- sree of intensity is embraced in the outbreak of the year. This is some 6,806,400 acres more than were con- cerned in the outbreak at the begin- ning of 1937. The gveater proportion of the increase in area is due to the extension of the light and patchy zone, which is the least seriously in- | fested, This zone increased by ),853,- 040 acres and raised the 5,978,880 acres of 1987 to 15,841,920 acres for 1938. The very severely infested area also increased and by 170,240 acres from 515,840 acres in 1987 to 686,080 acres in 1938, a matter of very serious concern, as without organized control the crops in this area are under threat of almost complete destruction. On the other hand, the severely infested districts decreased from 3,605,200 acres in 1937 by 80909,.360 acres to 3,203,840 acres in 1938, The mod- erately infested area also decreased, in this case by 2,727,520 acres, from 8,385,920 acres in 1937 to 5,558,400 in 1938. In general, however, the threat for 1938 is less than was feared in midsummer of the past season and the
point of serious economic significance. | A HEALTH SERVICE OF THE CANADIAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION ANNO LIFE

OLD LANDMARK AT SEXSMITH SOON TO BE THING OF PAST
One of the old landmarks of Sex- smith will soon be a thing of the past. This is the “Alberta Rooms,” which we believe was one of the firs\ build- ing to be erected in this town. it was built by Dan Mosher and operated *y him it. the days before the railway arived. I¢ was then taken over by the late Mrs. Wm. Ward, and finally purchased by Mrs. Addison and run as & rooming-house until the spring of | 1935, when she went te Edmonton.
It has recently been purchased by the Sexsmith Garage Company, who. we understand, expect to erect a machinery building. The old buildin, is being torn @own and will be re moved to the farm of John Bryegu«nia, some five miles northwest of town.
COMING EVENTS Keep in mind the following coming events: The Vimy dance, sponsored by} the Canadian Legion of Sexsmith, on April S and a play by the Women's
Institute, “Mammy's Little Wild Rose.” on Easter Monday, April 18 will tell you more about this in a later
issue.

The bride was escorted up the aisle of the church on the arm of her father to the strains of the Wedding March, piayed by Organist Frank Kichardson,
and was supported by ber sister May as bridesmaid.
The groom was aided by W. J. Don- levy as best man, and a nice congrega- tion of friends from McLennan and Peace River were assembled to see the ceremony performed.

to 4,413,147 pounds in 1937. The otal revenue of both maple syrup and maple sugar last year was $2,245.042
brospects, however, this year are for a crop equal to, if not larger, than in 19386.
Most of the maple syrup and maple sugar produced in Canada comes from the province of Quebec, which ac- counted last year for 90.2 per cent of the sugar and 67 per cent of the syrup of the total production. Ontario pro- duced 6.6 per cent of the sugar and 32 per cent of the syrup. The remaining 53.2 per cent of sugar and one per cent of syrup came from the provinces of |New Erunswick and Nova Scotia. The | chief source of the supply of maple products in the province of ,Quebec is j}in the counties of Beauce, Brome, | Mississquoi and Shefford in the East- _ern Townships, and vouth of the River
| St. Lawrence and along the North | Shore between Montreal and Quebec City. In Ontario the counties of

It sells its products under its own brand name.
It is estimated that there are fully | 70,000,000 maple trees in eastern Canada, of which only more than one- third are tapped, so that there is an opportunity for much greater develop- ment. There is a ready market for all | the maple products produced in | Canada. Maple syrup and maple sugar | will keep indéfinitely if kept in a cool place. They are wholly pure and natural products. The gyrup is made by boiling the sap in evaporators to a temperature of 219% degrees Fahren- heit, and sugar to 340 degrees. It takes about 40 gallons of sap to make a gallon of syrup and there are about 10 pounds of sugar ‘mn a gallon of syrup.
The Maple Sugar Industry Act, ad- ministered by the Dominion Depart- ment of Agriculture, prohibits any adulteration of maple products, forbids the use of the word maple or any derivative of the word in the descrip- tion of 4 syrup or sugar which ts not @ pure maple pruduct, requires the proper naming of the ingredients of syiups or sugars resemiing pure mepte products, and the indication on menus or bills of fare in public eating places, restaurants and hotels that where such is the case an artificial | tmapie flavor is used two flavour foods.

AUSTRALIA'S BIRTHDAY PARTY MARKS CHANGE IN POLITICAL POLICIES
Australia’s current celebration of its sesqui-centennial is doubly important in that it marks the beginning of a new and definite chapter in the history of a country which started its existence as a British penal colony. With the Mother Country confronted with difficulties in Europe and taxed to the utmost with her armament program, Australia has decided to start her own armament program, and thus give Great Britain concrete assistance in guarding the Empire's lifelines. The sesqui-centennial is being observed with a show of pageantry never before eq ualled in Australia. Above are pictures of the chief cities in Australia, while at the right is a picture of that intrepid explorer, Captain James Cook, the navigator credited with being the first to explore the island and formally claim it in the name of Britain. His name and those of others prominent in Australian history will be honored during the three-months celebration, which included military reviews, civic pageants and carnival diversions.

Cameron had a few embarrassin:; moments at the boundary the customs officials refused to allow him to bring his motorcycle across the line. The argument put forth by the officials was that only current year models could be brought across. This was extremely unfortunstc for Cam- eron, who had obtained a fine 1935 model. Such is the letter of the law our legislators have seen fit to pass, so Cameron accepted it all in good faith by leaving his motorcycle on the American side.

M. C. WHITE AND FAMILY BACK HOME
Mr. and Mrs. C. Smith, who ‘have been looking after the M. €. White establishment during his absence, were momentarily surprised when a biz gedan drove into the yard about 11 o'clock Sunday morning. In a moment the passengers revealed themselves .s Mr. and Mrs. White, Evelyn and the boys*got out of the car, scarcely look- ing as if they had just completed a 6,000-mile motor trip. (Car registered about 10,000 miles, but about 4,000 were added while down in the south.)
In an interview shortly afterwards your correspondent found the White's all looking in the best of health after spending the winter in the sunny south. In such a short time it was impossible to hear of all the irteres*- ing points visited by the Whites en route, but it was quite apparent that they had thoroughly enjoyed them- selves. ’
Mr. White and Cameron braved the waters of the riny deep to enjoy a swim, and this on a January day, whe. the mercury on Peace River ther- mometers hovered below zero.
Many side trips into. the mountains proved most interesting on their re- turn, and a graphic description of the Gamage showed clearly the great ex- tent of the recent storms and floods in

AS MODERN AS IT LOOKS FAST—ECONOMICAL—TOUGH
Here’s a tractor that looks modern and is modern from radi- ator to drawbar. You settle back in a comfortable hammock- type seat, push the starter button—and then—listen to the hum of the 6-cylinder, valve-in-head engine. It’s a high-grade, automotive power plant with regular tractor etrength and ruggedness.
You can get that motor in two types, the "70" HC with high compression head for regular gasoline, or the "70" KD with different head and manifold for kerosene or No. 1 distillate. You pick your fuel, pick a motor designed from the ground up to that fuel and nothing else, and get maximum economy on every drawbar, belt or power take-off job.
All controls are at your finger tips and over. lapping, 6-cylinder power impulses get the job done just a little faster, a little better, and alittle cheaper. See us for a demonstration.

friends and neighbors gathered at the Monkman home to celebrate Mr. Alex. Monkman’'s 70th birthday onrniversary. A most enjoyable evening was spent in playing games, many of a most amus- ing character. A most delicious lunch was served after midnight.
A ring was formed round Mr. Alex. Monkman and Brnie Hopkins. who was also celebrating ‘is birthd.y. and Helen Powers, whose birthday was the day before, and al! joining hands, sang heartily, ‘For They Are Joly Good Felfows.” A speech was then ae | manded from the three honored guests, followed by the singing of “Auld Lang Syne.” which wound up a most en- joyable evening.

Hugh Allen Guest Speaker At Fine Local Meeting
Tells How A Smali U. F. A. Local Can Use its Influence Through The Prevince At Large
ELMWORTH, Mar. 28.—A regula: meeting of the Elmworth U.F.A. Locul was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Alex Thompson, Saturday evening, March 26. This proved to be one i the most interesting meetings to date.
A motion was passed authorizing F. Brewer to purchase eight pounds of darris powder to be distributed in the district for the purpose of checking the warble fly.
A request to the government that they gravel both sides of the Rei Willow Hill was moved and carried. The condition of this hill during the spring or in wet weather during th= summer and fall, practically brings the traffic of cars and trucks to a hal.
An interesting discussion centred or methods of financing the Monkman Pass Highway. A levy of five dollars per quarter was argued pro and con, but no definite decision reached. This district, while behind the Monkman
aided very strongly in a financial way.!| nothing to gain by it.
However, there is time yet, and with enthusiasm running high, should soon be under way.
A motion was passed and carried that the serious condition of side roads in this district be pointed out to the District Engineer, A. H. Mc- Quarrie, and request action on same. The farmers along these roads can only haul their grain out during the winter months when thg roads are frozen, and they are righteously in- dignant.
The guest speaker of the evening, Hugh W. Allen, spoke on how a small local like that of Elmworth could use its influence throughout the district, the Peace River country and the prov- ince at large.
The latter part of his speech dealt with the U. F. A. Cooperative in re- gards to handling of bulk commodi-
ties for the farmers, especially fuel for tractor farmers. On this Mr. Allen gave a very illuminative description of | the Turner Valley oil fields and their method of operation. He pointed out that due to the new method of acidiza- tion now used in the Turner Valley oil fields that the production of this field } had increased that he believed the limportation of oil from outside the | province would cease. This would naturaliy mean cheaper fuel for Al- berta farmers, which he felt would ultimately bring about the decline of
so
|horse farming Here Mr. Allen urged | that all farmers, especially tractor | farmers, be alive to this development |
and strongly back the U.F.A. Coopera- tive. This Cooperative would sell their commodities to the farmers at the same price as the retailers but that the farmer would receive a rebate in the form of dividends which would
considerably reduce his cost of opera- |
tion.

Premier's statement was that Canada is a part of the North American con- tinent, therefore intimating that per- haps our greatest safety lay in the;
direction of closer association with | other North American countries. Does! this mean we shall gradually lessen)
the relationship between Canada and) Great Britain, and increase our rela- tions with our southern neighbors? Until the Prime Minister has made! this point quite clear, we can only de mise as to what he has in mind. In the meantime, [I am inclined to accept the words of caution which he gave us, providing they are not intended to re-
intend to pose as one, but if I judge the situation correctly, there is nothing to fear at the moment; Hitler is con- tent to rest before attempting any new conquests. I believe that nowa- days a period of intensive propaganda takes place before war-like actions begin. That is the story of Austria, and se, i believe, it wili be the story of Czecho-Slovakia. The time js ‘not yet.
I am not going to state my own attitude concerning our own policy, because it is likely that this subject will be discussed in the House of Com- mons in the near future, and I will reserve my own remarks until that time.
Another measure of vast importance to many people in the Peace Riv» is the amending of the bill concerning Soldier Settlers. At the present time until March 31, 1938, any soldier settler who makes any payment to the government on account of his land receives a bonus in a sum of one dollar’ paid, two dollars credit. This privilege expires at the end of this month. On March 11 the Minir- ter of Mines and Resources submitted a resolution to the House which con- veyed the idea that this legislation would be extended until 1941. The new bill has now been brought down and passed. I mentioned something about this before in one of my previ- ous Weekly Letters, and an examina- tion of the new bill shows that my happy remarks were somewhat prema-
