Subsidy of Materials To Solve Lack of Housing, Jobs

Coquitlam's Go-Ahead Board of Trade Joins Associated Valley Boards

Post war planning “ which has been bandied about ad naua- eum for the last three years" came in for a verbal.thrashing at last Wednesday's meeting of the Associated Lower Mainland Boards of Trade which held their quarterly meeting in the Odd­fellows' Hall, Haney.

Delegates from the District of Coquitlam were H. J. C. Thrift and Dr. J. S. Pierie.

Chief “ thrasher” was Gordon Towers of Langlev Prairie Board, now resident In Maple Ridge, who brushed aside the impassioned plea of Chilliwack's Lee Eyres, M.L.A., to allow time for the § 0,000 dwellers of the Fraser Valley to “reconvert themselves to peacetime” economy*! by pressing for an immediate corre­lation of housing and employment by the Dominion Government.TO INFLATED MARKETS

“Everywhere I've been lately,” the plausible Mr. Towers narrated. “I have seen unfinished houses, ana our boys standing idle. Why? Be­cause while our logging camps are working to capacity, the lumber is ■hipped to the inflated markets out of Canada for bigger profits, with the result that the necessary build­ing material Isn't available here.”

Supported In inimitable fashion by the expansivo W. E. “ Bill” Payne, executive secretary of the Vancouv­er Board of Trade. Mr. Towers' res­olution to press Ottawa to subsidize the production of such building ma­terials (now on the shortage list) as lath, soil pipe, and cement, was Unanimously endorsed by the thirty representatives present. SYMPATHETIC TO BRIDGE

W. A. Jones of the Agascis-Har­

rison Board of Trade presented his Board’s comprehensive brief propos­ing the construction of a bridge over the Fraser to replace the present Rosedsle Ferry. While generally sympathetic to the idea of spanning the river at that point to complete the Valley Loop, the Association asked for an opportunity to study the brief in detail before giving it final endorsement.

E. E. Adsir of Hsney added a touch of tragi-comedy In this con­nection when he observed: “We've been trying to get a ferry between Albion and Langley for 19 years. If we help Agassiz to get the bridge, be sure you send the Rosedsle Ferry down to us!”

Investigations in connection with the removal of the Fraser Canyon highway toll were reported on by Frank Hall of Chilliwack, vice-pre­sident of the Association and chair­man of a special committee set up for this purpose, with the meeting going on record In favor of sending a one-man delegation to Victoria to press the matter with the Minister of Public Works.

Maillardville Officer Kurt Meyer's Interpreter

Sort of super Jack-of-a 11-trad es for the Canadian Army is Captain Wady Lehmann, 28-year-old person­al interpreter for Lt.-Gen. Kurt Meyer, Canada’s No. 1 ' prisoner of war now facing trial for his life at Aurich, Germany.

Capt. Lehmann is the son of Mr. and Mrs. B. Lehmann, Pitt River road, near Maillardville.LEAGUE OF NATIONS

He got the interpreter's job be­cause his family background is a veritable League of Nations.

His grandfather was a Dane, his grandmother an Estonianr. His mo­ther was born in Estonia and his father in Moscow.

Capt. Lehmann himself was born in Estonia. Then the family moved to Denmark.

The Lehmanns came to Vancou­ver in 1929. Capt. Lehmann at­tended school In Denmark and com­pleted hi* education at Burnaby South High School.

His father and mother, his two married sisters, his third sister who is a nurse at Shaughnessy, his bro­ther at hoirte,' and he himself, can speak Danish, German ahd English fluently, have done so in their home since they began to talk.ALSO ARTIST

That background was more than enough to handle Kurt Meyer. But the armj? put other talents of the captain's to use.

An amateur artist of merit, he did many a sketch for army sham battles.

Capt. Lehmann enlisted in the 12th Field Ambulance Corps at Vancouver In 1941, then transfer­red to the Intelligence Corps at headquarters of the 3rd Canadian Armored Brigade. He went over­seas as a lance-corporal in 1942, and spent two years in England.

He took an officer’s training course and wa<* commissioned In 1943. He received his captaincy In April, 1946.

He spent a year in Italy, trans­ferring to Holland in March, 1945. In October, 1946, he was transfer­red to the War Crimes Investiga­tion Unit In Francs and Germany.

Port Coquitlam High School has chosen a 1-act comedy play “ Are We Dressing” , for presentation at the drama festival to be held early next spring, and members of the blub are nottf trying-out ptAta in the play before rehearsals begin.

Selection of the cast will be made by G, A. Clark and Miss M. Flook, assisted by club members who do not intend to try for parts in the play. Players .will be chosen ac­cording to their ability to fit a sel­ected part About twenty are trying out for eight < parts and final sele ections may not be announced until after the Christmas holidays.

Last year the high school pre­sented “ Luncheon for Six” at the first Coquitlam School Drama Fes­tival. held in the District of Co­quitlam Jr.-Sr. High School. This play was very well received and was highly praised by the adjudica­tor, Miss Phoebe Smith. Acting in “ Luncheon for Six” were Irma Robinson, Shirley Graham, Nancy Ogilvie, Jack Making, Mike Sim- kowich and Bruce Scott. ,

Last year's, festival was non- competetive but this year Port Co­quitlam, District of Coquitlam, Port

Moody and loco schools may com­pete in the event. However, no de­finite plans have yet been made for the 1945 festival although it will most likely be held in April. ,

A Merry Christm as For UsHere It is— Christmas 1945— Our first peace time Christ­

mas in 6 years, our fire place with a roaring blaze, our friends in for wine and Christmas cake, and the “don’t move me now” feel­ing after our hearty feast of turkey, dressing, potatoes, veget­ables, cranberry sauce, plum pudding and all. But in war wrecked England, Europe and throughout the world people are praising their God for a peaceful Christmas . . . . they know no welcome hearth . . . . no full, satisfied stomachs.

Freedom from Want, to which Roosevelt added “ Anywhere in the World/* is one of the Four Freedoms of the Atlantic Charter. That charter was not a contractual obligation but a statement o f principles. Two years ago the first step was taken in making Freedom from Want a contractual obligation with the formation o f the Food and Agricultural Organization— this fall at Quebec the F. A. O. passed from the provisional to the per­manent stage with a membership of 38 nations.• We want peace . . . . but as Dean Clement said at the con­ference “ How can you keep the peace when people are hungry?"

Here then is a way you and I can help keep the peace. Let's strive for maximum food production with every possible means available . . . for the need for food is grea t. . . even o f the plain­est kind . . . and then next year . . . . there'll be* a Merry Christ­mas for ALL.

Scope o f the studies now being made by the joint committee ex­amining surveys and reports o f the Pacific Great Eastern Railway andBritish Columbia’s northern re-1__sources ha* been widened to inclfade Alberta, so that a further outlet to the Coast and development o f great­er resources may be considered, it was announced by _ Premier John Hart following an increase in the personnel o f the joint committee.

The course o f action taken by Premier Hart is in line with his pol­icy to take every, step possible to encourage a greater flow o f traffic to the west and open up new re­sources that (will benefit the econ­omy o f BcC.

The committee will meet in Vic­toria on January 8 and is expected to continue its deliberations until all matters requiring decisions have been discussed.Seed P rod u ction

Upon hs return from the Domin­ion Food Production Conference at Ottawa, the Hon. Frank Putman, Minister of Agriculture. announced he had asked the Dominion Govern­ment to subsidize B.C.’s seed grow­ing industry for at least two years.

During the past five years seed production has grown to more than $2,000,000 annually. The Minister • is most anxious that the seed growers shall not lose the ground they have gained- in building up this indnstry and is desirous of develop­ing production to a greater degree.It is with this oWect in view that he is making every effort to assure that the Dominion and Provincial Governments will give encourage­ment to the seed growers..Hope .Princeton Highway

It has been announced by the Hon. Herbert Anscomb, Minister of Public Works, that work on the western section of the Hope-Prince- ton Highway has been started four miles out of Hope. It is expected that 860 men, together with con­struction equipment, shortly will be employed on the project.Gasolinja Price Control

More stringent control of unfair practises in the gasoline wholesale and retail field are being brought into effect under a new set of reg- ultions, it was announced by Dr. W. A.

While In Ottawa, Premier John Hart made, representations to the Dominion Government to secure loans for municipalities on a 2 per cent basis with a Provincial guaran­tee. These loans were to be for the purpose of assisting the municipali­ties to finance deferred public works and to help relieve unemploy­ment.

Vital Farm Labor Problems Highlight The Third Annual Ottawa Conference

The highlight o f the discussion reached by delegates o f the 3rd Dominion-Provincial Farm Labor Conlerence just concluded in Ottawa was to plan to work out more^ fully the type o f per­manent farm labor policy to meet peace time conditions, accord­ing to George V. Haythorne, Chairman o f the Conference and Associate Director for Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, Do­minion Department o f Labor.

Of Things . . . and Thoughts

B y E L S IE B A L D W IN

Th: Conference is an annual af­fair and includes respresentatives of the Provincial Departments of Agriculture and Dominion Govern­ment officials concerned with farm labor problems. There was general agreement that the present co-oper­ative arrangement between federal and provincial agencies for carry-. ing out the farm labor program should be continued by all Govern­ments concerned for at least an­other year.

Said Mr. Haythorne, “ The Con­ference is an invaluable clearing house for ideas and suggestions in connection with policy making and execution in regard to Canadian Manpower problems with respect to agriculture and related industries.” L A B O R E R S D E F R O S T E D

He continued: "A major point em­phasized throughout the discussions was the need for maintaining farm incomes at their present level to enable farm operators to secure the type of labor they require in an open labor market in competition with other Industries. “ This,” he said, “ is in view of the removal of the ’freeze* on agricultural work­ers, and places added emphasis on the need for more efficient, better qualified workers and improved methods, conductive to greater pro­duction in the industry.’*

In connection with this latter point it was intended to provide more ex­tensive training facilities under Do­minion and Provincial agences. On- the-job tranmg as well as short courses would be provided and fol­low-up courses of an extension nat­ure were projected.. In the program of training it was suggested, be dir­ected to three main classes: people on the smaller farms* (sons of farm­ers, and a considerable number of the employed farm workers), serv­icemen who cannot qualify under the Veteran*8 Land Act and men from farms previously employed in 1 War Industry.

Mr. Haythorne drew special at- . tention to that aspect of the con­

ference’s agenda which dealt with the extension of social security to the rural population. "Evefry dele­gate was emphatic thkt living and housing conditions and a measure of economic security for the worker and employer must be provided to stabilize the farm labor source,” he awerred. It was pointed out that because of a shortage of suitable housing accommodation on farms to­day experienced married workers who are available are not being placed on farms.B E T T E R C O N D IT IO N S

Discussion centred on the import­ant factors involved in bettering 1 ing and working conditions on the farm including hours of work, mini­mum wages, workmen's compensa­

tion and the ultimate extension of unemployment insurance benefits to the agricultural employee. It was hoped to provide all the social secur­ity benefits to the worker on the farm at present enjoyed by other groups o f workers. _ "This” , said the Chairman, "is basic in improving the efficiency in production of the farm labor force. It will be of im­mense practical value in improving the bargaining position of the farm employer in the open labor market.

With respect to .the 1946 Confer­ence, special Regional Committees were named to study during the coming year and to report to the en­suing conference the following field o f investigation in farm labor: the classification o f farm workers on the basis o f work performed and the required qualifications and skill of the . person performing^ the work; and to study the application in aCractical way of measures that have

een worked out to analyze man­power requirements in various kinds bf farm work.

This would enable the interested Federal and Provincial agencies to plan to meet the varying require­ments of specific areas and types of agricultural work as they arise.

Provincial officials no less than their Dominion Government hosts issued a statement at the close of the conference drawing attention to the high degree of harmonious co-oper­ation evidenced, and paid tribute to the effectiveness with which the it­ems for discussion were presented in the light of the interchange of ideas thus provided.

Jensons

In these days, the shortages in in­gredients for the X'mas menu, pos­sibly the following two recipes will be of interest to readers. The first, for home-made candied peel.

Cover some orange or lemon peel with water and bring to the boil. Cook lihtil'soft, strain off the water and cook again. Put a teacupful of sugar in a saucepan with half a teacupful of water, and boil until it threads when dropped from a spoon. Cook the peel in this for ten minutes, then drain. The remaining sugar syrup may of course, be used for cookies or puddings.

Another interesting recipe at this time of the year when shortening is hard to get is mincemeat in which grapes take the place of suet.

Skin half a pound of grapes, take out the seeds and place in a basin. Bruise well with a wooden spoon.

Peel and core two apples and chop well Mix with half a pound each of ra tins and sultanas. Add a quarter of a pound of home made candied peel, half a pound of brown sugar, half pound of currants, pinch of salt, ana mixed spices to taste. Add grapes after all other ingred­ients are mixed thoroughly.

Stir well, place in sealers, fasten lids on tight. This should be kept for two weeks before using.* • • •

Christmas catalogues have not much charm anymore. There is not very much advertised that we can buy, anvway. A catalogue o f real delight, however, at this time of the year is the bulb catalogue.

There Is true joy in the fore- taste« of spring, now that winter Is upon us. We can conjuro up vis­ions o f narcissus and snowdrop, the first crocus, trim rows of daffodils and tulips and all the first harvest o f spring flowers.

To those in our modern world who have no garden to potter in, the bulb catalogue offers no lesser delight. They can at least prepare bulb bowls— the most charming of all indoor gardens — and look for­ward to th* time when th© daily unfolding will be watched Jealously and with great expectation.

Here'a to the bulb catalogue 1

JOBS FOR VETERANSOur policy regarding ouj returning veterans, is full and immediate reinstatement to former or similar jobs held before enlistment.

In the hiring of new personnel, service men receive preference.

As a result, employment records now show that 60 per cent of all PACIFIC STAGES employees are veterans of either World" War I or World War II.

And b o in conjunction with many other B.C. firma, PACIFIC STAGES are doing their part to provide jobs for veterans.

I wish to express my appreciation for the support you gave me in

the recent election. CHARLES "Chuck" JOHNSON

I A Column of I I. . Opinion... |

The atom ic bomb may be the greatest discovery o f the 20th

« Century to date. But while not so world-shaking in scope we have all been m aking discoveries since chi.dhood. D iscoveries that a lso count. D iscoveries that help us to understand poople, " fo r in­stance.

That’ s the theme o f this w eek ’s guest to this colum n, E . A rnot R obertson, a British radio broad­caster. — Ed.What were the most important

discoveries you ever made? I don’t mean discoveries fit the imperson­al sort— that the earth is round for instance. 1 don’t suppose you ever made any like that: nor have I.

But discoveries about people in general, and about yourself. Be­cause although no doubt physically our lives are affected one <way or another, at every minute o f the day, by the' fact that the earth ia r flat, actually it’s mot the sort o f thing one broods about lying awake at night, is- it?

But the fact tha you love people not because they are what they are, but because you are what you are — this s the sort 6f thing I mean. In fact, this particular discovery was about the most important for me personally, that I ever made. It helped enormously towards a bet­ter understanding o f the question which I imagine everyone has put to themselves at some time or other, “ What does A see in B?”

Well, the answer o f course, (though you can’t give it till you’ve made the discovery for yourself) is that A doesn’t necessarily see anything in B. A loves B because A is A, with a need to love; and B chanced to be handy at the time when the need to be devoted to someone piled up in A till it was bound to find an object, somehow. And there was B. Handy but not necessarily suitable.

It was an old Irish woman who put into delightful words I thought, almost the same discovery, when she made it for herself. “ Ah, dear, no,’ ’ she said, about a broken vil­lage romance. “ I’m never one t o , be sorry for those in love, resulted or not. For haven’t they great riches in themselves, whichever way it is? But only for those that don’t be longing for anyone. I’m sorry for them. For it’s a cold tedious world they have, so they do!”

Then the fact that people o f the past were human. Did you sudden­ly discover that with surprise one day? Those whiskered great-undes hi the family photograph album, those great-0unts with bosoms like swans—-could they really feel things as strongly as you?

Preserved in my family is the draft o f a letter written by a great- aunt, turning down a proposal o f marriage. I think she must have copied it out o f one o f those Gentlewomen’s Refined Letter Writ­ers, which were popular in her day. Here it is:—

My dear Mr. Forester,Or shall I in this instance call

you Harry? Were I to consult my own wishes, my answer to your kind and generous letter would be ’Yes*. I'have seen much in your character to admire since you first became a visitor at my father’s house. But my par­ents, to whom I showed your let­ter, consider that I am constitu­tionally unfitted to reside in a dimate so trying as that o f A f-' rjca, and wish me to remain with them. They are, like myself, grateful for all that you say; and were it not that you are to go abroad, their consent would have been willingly given. I feel myself, too, that I would be only an encumbrance even were I ■pared, and at a medical station in the tropics there should be no encumbrances.

You will allow me to call my­self your sincere well-wisher if nothing more, and I hope that your efforts In Africa will be crowned with success.

Believe ms, my dear Harry, Yours very sincerely.

Well, sincere she may have been,I fait when I first read that letter. But you couldn’t think of such a woman a# human. Presuming you wanted to marry Mr. Forester, wouldn’ t you take a chance On the climate? Would anything on earth matter, in fact, besides the glorious fact that the enchanting Harry was o ff to doctor In Africa and you had the chance to go too? And if you. didn’t fancv him, well, how could you say “ Were I to consult my own

wishes:” it’d be “ Yes” , if you had a drop of honest blood in you.

Anyway, my great-aunt married someone else, and eventually I came on correspondence between her and hr husband; and that was a real “ find” about human nature. She was good looking, it emerges, and he got it into his head, after some years of married life, that perhaps she was not as wholly contented with him as she should be, though there was no evidence to back up his doubts. I should think not, about the writer of that exemplary let­ter to Mr. Forester. He went to America on business, sent back a report that he had died there, and after three months waiting, sneaked home to see if she were mourning him appropriately. She was. He generously praised her, in one re­markable letter which has survived, but there’s no hint in it anywhere that he thought his own behaviour needed any explanation. She had allayed his doubts: then she should rejoice with him, he conveyed— de­corously, o f course.

Three years later doubts renewed themselves and he did the same thing. America, in those days— I860— was a long way o f f : there was no checking a report o f death. Nor did she try. This time when he returned to find her dutifully mourning she' “ up and left him,” as he put. it himself in a reproach­ful letter. And it was he who was absolutely outraged.

His remaining letters are all in the same strain, and it is his side of the correspondence that is so gloriously hum ah. She merely con­tinues to say “ No” for the rest of her lift to suggestions that it is Her doty to return. But hasn’t he been an irreproachably faithful husband, he demands aggrievedly? Ought she not to share his satis­faction that his fears have again proved groundless, instead o f tak­ing up this utterly unreasonable at­titude that he has in some way

.wronged her? He! Oh, he feels, it’s monstrous.

Yes, it’s a pleasant discovery to make, that one’s forebears were Ac­tually o f the same stuff as oneself— utterly illogical at times.

Then there’s the discovery that no one is as self-assured as they seem. This I have always found -of great comfort, ever since I made it by accident on a cold day on a railway station.^ As a shrinking worm myself, without any poise at all, I was overwhelmed with embar­rassment when I tried to get out o f the wind behind the platform shelter, and there I found the aw­fully dignified headmaster o f my cousin’s school. He was taking a surreptitious nip out o f a flask.

I was- on my, way to the school.: my cousin was being confirmed, with a lot o f other boys, and rela­tions had been asked to the ser­vice. “ Oh,” said the headmaster, “ I’m waiting for the Bishop who’s taking the confirmation.”

It was as if, having been corner­ed, he simply had to talk to some­one. “ I’m always so nervous be­fore * laying on of hands. The Bish­op expects an instant flow of grace, something that can almost be felt. The boys expect it top, some of them anyway. And I’m ' so terribly afraid of nobody feeling anything, and being disappointed when I have that speech about this being a mem­orable occasion in the school life.”

Somehow, whenever 1 have to face people who seem much more awe-inspiring than I am, I remem­ber with gratitude that imposing headmaster, frightened o f a pack of schoolboys who mightn’t be moved by his speech. A cabinet minister I heard showing o ff in front of a charwoman a few years later, about his appointments with the great, was Absolutely nothing in compar­ison with this

So these are the discoveries that really count— the ones that help you to understand people, and deal with people, and like them all the bet­ter too, for having so many vul­nerable points o f charmingly silly pride.

Look back: haven’t there beensudden moments of happy illumin­ation for you too, just o f the same kind? That magnificent correspon­dence between my great-uncle and aunt when she “ op and left him” so expectedly — that’s something really precious, in my view.

High Employment Foreseen Soon

Speaking on the manpower out­look for 1946 to the delegates as­sembled in Ottawa for the 3rd Do­minion-Provincial Farm Labor Con­ference, W. K. Rutherford, Acting Chief Employment Officer for Can­ada, said that in his opinion, “ a full and stable level o f employment will be attained by the middle o f the com-

ing year.” He. hastened to add that this did not mean that everyone- would have the work they wanted most, “ but nonetheless, the main ob­ject is to secure satisfactory work as possible at a decent living wage for every citizen,” he stated.

He pointed out that the tremen­dous up-surge in consumer goods would in all likelihood absorb in ad­dition to civilian workers the great majority o f servicemen to be dis-* charged in the coming months. Ag­riculture, -he noted, would b.e com­peting for labor by spring, in view o f the removal o f the freeze” on agri­cultural workers. In common with other speakers he emphasized that in order to compete with other indus­tries farm wages miist be maintained at the present level or possibly in­creased. j In addition more attention must be placed on acquisition o f technical skills and development of efficiency in production.S E L E C T IO N IM P O SSIB L E

merit that selective jobs were not possible, he pointed out that the ten-

. dency to specialisation in industry, while it might result in attainmerit o f a high degree o f skill on the part o f a worker, limited the worker to that particular .occupation.

A great number o f jobs in. indus­try are not “ highly” skilled. There is the same tendency in agriculture while admitting that some seasonal slackening in employment was to be anticipated, it was hoped that care­ful planning between Dominion and Provincial authorities would miti­gate the more severe effects o f this, and tend to even the scale o f employ­ment over the annual period. The obtaining o f extra ex-skills and trades training under Canadian Vo­cational Training would help pro­vide a large portion of our available manpower with additional means of earning d,uring slack seasons, par­ticularly in woods operations, farm labor, and the building and construc­tion trades. This latter would ab­sorb a great number o f workers in the coming year.

Bewitching antics o f a light meter brought a bewildered Chi­nese, Harry Chow, Pringe George, before City Council to seek an answer to a $661 question.

That amount represented his light bill for September and Oct­ober .when a reading o f 6029 kilo­watts gave him quite a jolt as in the preceding three months it had sedately registered 110. 130 and 168 kilowatts respectively.

“ It’s a very peculiar thing,” agreed W. G. Fraser, city clerk. We didn’t think the meter was lying.”

The light and power committee was authorised to investigate.

Expert Finds Steering TonghThree young farmers, all cast

in the same mould, Ronnie, James and Robert Donchi, o f VinsullaJ took first three places in the open junior showmanship competition at last week's seventh annual Christmas Fat Stock Show and Sale in Kamloops. Said Prof, J. I

W. Grant Mac Ewan of University o f Saskatchewan: “ They’re great showmen; all are workers." Even after the announcement the kids kept “ showing" their cattle.

The prairie professor had a dif­ficult time picking the senior win­ner.

For nearly 20 minutes he prod­ded and pondered, weighing in the balance the two steers that were tops o f the eight division-winners. Even the veriest tyro know the other six weren’t in the running against these two animals — the “ perfect conformation” Hereford calf entered by V. E. Ellison o f Oyama, and the “ rugged heavy" Hereford shown by Earlscourt farms o f Lytton.

The tension mounted. The handlers’ hands trembled. Even the steers caught the excitement, and added to it by making the judge step smartly as inch by inch he checked the fleshing o f one against the other.

Almost with a sigh, Prof. Mac- Ewan motioned the Earlscourt entry into the blue ribbon slot.

Blind and Deaf Braille Expert Dies Reading

Funeral services were held Satur­day, Dec. 8th for a well-known blind and deaf Braille expert, Frederick Charles Hill, 62, who died last Tues­day,

He was reading a copy o f the Reader’s Digest in Braille at his home on the Pitt River road, Co­quitlam, when he died.

Born in England, he came to B.C. about 40 years ago. He had attend- ded a school for the blind there, having been born with poor eye­sight.

He was employed with a type­writer firm here and as manager of the advertising department of the CPR until 1919, when his sight and hearing failed him completely.

A member of the Canadian Na­tional Institute for the Blind, he was known all over Canada, United States and Great Britain for his letters • in Braille and his articles in Braille publications.OPERATED FARM

He operated a poultry farm suc­cessfully and was “a continual in­spiration to other blind-doaf people by his example and ingenuity, said Capt. M. C. Robinson, director os the CNIB.

Surviving are his wife, at home; one son, Herbert R., .Tacoma, Wash., and one grandson. Rev. Calnon Frank Plaskett officiated at the fu­neral service in the chapel of S. Bowell & Son New Westminster, and interment was in Ocean View Burial Park.

Pallbearers were G. A Harris, J. A. Scutt, A. Rorke, W. T. Kelly, G. A. Gail and W. Booth.

How To Cook Poultry For Your Xmas Dinner

Whether the bird chosen to grace the Christmas table is a goose, tur­key or chicken, it should be a very special one. Since it is to be the centre o f attraction when it appears on thp Christmas dinner table it must first be as imposing as pos­sible, then cooked to a luscious gol­den brown. The meat should be tender* yet moist, when cut and the dressing rich and crumbly.

When buying poultry it is easy to distinguish grades by the govern­ment grade tag. For roasting, poul­try should be plump, well formed but not too fat. Allow % to 1 pound dressed weight for each per­son to be Berved. Dressed weight is the weight o f poultry as purchased, before it is drawn and it includes the head and feet.

Qareful preparation is worth while. Pin feathers should be care­fully removed and all hairs singed

Pictured here is the Macdonald Brier Tankard emblematic of the Canadian single risk curling Championship.

Cancelled last in 1942 to comply with Government requests for re­duced war-time travel, the Brier playdowns will be resumed in Sask., March 4 to 7, 1946.

90 that the skin is smooth and clean. I f poultry is fat it is well to wash with water in which a little baking soda has been dissolved, but it should then be rinsed and thorough­ly dried inside and out. Poultry should never be allowed to soak in water as this causes loss o f flavor.

The bread for stuffing is best if three days old. It will then crumble easily. To make even crumbs quick­ly, remove the crusts and cut each loaf in four pieces, place one piece in a towel and roll between the hands until well crumbled. Then pro­ceed with the remaining portions.

If dressing for poultry is made the day before, time is saved at the last minute.

The stuffing will vary with the type o f poultry. The delicate flavor o f turkey should not be spoiled with a strongly seasoned stuffing. The highly seasoned stuffing should be used with goose "which has a strong flavor. Before stuffing, sprinkle the inside o f the bird with salt. Stuff loosely. I f the cavity is packed too tightly there is no room allowed for expansion o f the dress­ing and the result iB a firm soggy mass — so allow approximately % .cup o f stuffing per pound o f tur­key— dressed weight.

The way in which a bird is stuf­fed and trussed makes a great dif­ference in its appearance when ser­ved. Fill the neck with sufficient stuffing to give the bird a plump appearance^ Fold the neck skin to­wards the back and fasten by fold­ing the wing tips back on the wings, “ arms akimbo” fashion. Then place bird on back with legs toward you. Cross drumsticks, having leg over slit* to hold stuffing in place. Take a piece o f cord about 1% yeards long and place centre o f it under the tail. Bring up ends over cross­ed drumstick, and the body. Turn bird onto breast and bring cord, around wings to centre bqck, so that it holds the lower wing joints close to the body. Tie cord securely on back, holding wings and neck in place.

And now the all important mat­ter of cooking. It must oe done to a turn, the acme of perfection to grace the festive board. Place turk­ey or chicken breast down on a rack in an uncovered pan, and ADD NO WATER.

Goose require slightly different treatment. Rub the outer surface with salt, place breast side up on a rack in the roaster. Add 1 cop boil­ing water and cover tightly. Cook about 1 hour, then pour off water and fat and continue cooking un­covered. Keep the temperature of the oven at “ moderately slow” or even “alow”, according to the weight of bird, to brown it evenly without scorching. It should be cooked until it is tender and done to the bone, but not overcooked.

The following time table may prove helpful m cooking poultry throughout the holiday season.

Chicken: 4-8 lbs. (dressed weight) 300-325 degrees F for 30 mins. per lb.

Turkey: 8-10 lbs. (dressedweight) 300 degrees F for 25 mins. per lb. 12-16 lbs. (dressed weight) 300 degrees F for 20 rains, per lb. 16-261bs. (dressed weight) 300 de­grees F for 18-20 mins. per lb.

Duck: 3-8 lbs. (dressed weight) 325 degrees F for 20-25 mins. per lbs.

Goose: 10-12 lbs. (dressedweight) 826 degrees F for 20-26 mins. per lb.

These are approximate times, as the size, shape and weight of the bird, as well as the personal pre­ference are factors to be considered.

Short and Long Torn M i t Offered By The Canadian Farm Loan Board

The Sixteenth Annual Report of the Canadian Farm Loan Board covering operations for the year ended March 31, 1946, has Just been issued.

The Board is a Dominion Govern­ment agency established in 1920 under the Canadian Farm Loan Act for the purpose of providing the fanners of Canada with a system of long term mortgage credit. In 1986 the Act was broadened to enable the Board to provide its long term borrowers with short term credit on second and cattel mortgage secur­ity.

The Board has been operating in British Columbia since 1929 and up to March 31, 1945 has made 1206 loans for a total o f $2,809,000 of which $1,6664,000 has been repaid. Ninety-tWo out o f every hundred borrowers in the province had no first' mortgage arrears at March 81, 1946. During the fiscal years borrowers In the province paid $68,- 000 on account p f interest and $266,000 on account o f principal. Since the commencement o f opera­tions in the province, the Board has acquired only 10 securities through sale or foreclosure proceedings.UP TO 26 YEARS

Funds for loaning are obtained by borrowing from the Dominion Government and these monies are then lent to farmers on f irst mort­gage repayable over terms o f up to twenty-five years by equal yearly or half yearly instalments o f com­bined principal and interest.

In initiating operations in 1929 the Board fixed the interest rate on its loans at 614 per cent based on the ten cost o f its own funds namely, 5 per cent per annum plus an additional 1% per cent estimated as necessary to cover administra­tion costs, pay unavoidable losses and set up necessary reserves. Since 1929 the cost o f loaning funds has gradually decreased from 6 per cent and money borrowed from loaning after March 81,1945, has been ob­tained at 8 per cent enabling The Board to make new first mortgage loans since that date at 4 ft per cent.

In the sixteen years of its exist­ence the Board has lent over $52,- 000,000 to 26,712 fanners, the av­erage loan being approximately $2,- 000. Of the above amount $26,624,- 000 has been repaid.L E SS D U R IN G W A R

The Board is actively engaged in lending In all parts of Canada and up to April 1, 1989 the average amount lent yearly was $3,600,000 but daring the war years the aver­age amount lent yearly dropped to $2,250,000. This decrease was due

in part to s lessened demand for credit owing to increased prices for farm produce and the difficulty o f boying farm equipment and build­ing material. Recently there has been an Incrsase in the number o f applications and it is anticipated that In the fiscal year ending March 81, 1946, the Board will lend in excess of $2,000,000.

Mortgage payments during the year have been good and at March 81, 1946, ninety-two first mortgage borrowers out o f one hundred had no arrears. The number o f first mortgage loans repaid in full dur­ing the year amounted to 8,201, an increase of more then 49 per cent over the previous year and o f more than 800 per cent over the average o f the previous lour years.

It is enough to say that to Can­adian boys getting their first meal aboard ship, it is like a dream come true.

At last we are free to celebrate the season in the old-time way.

Our loved ones are home. The candles will gleam brighter now, the balsam boughs will breathe a more pungent fragrance, and more sweetly than ever will carols ring. . . as if in answer to a world’s prayers for peace.

But none will forget—now or ever—those fallen

In this, we shall be men who think of to­morrow—men of good will, making sure of even better Christmases to come.

GRAND OLD COW IS NEARLY 26 YEARS OLD

m

As the result of a nation-wide “Oldest Cow Con­test," the Aberdeen-Angus journal has awarded first prize to a cow that will be 26 years old in March, and have her 24th calf shortly thereafter. This is be­lieved to be the world's record for a living, produc­ing bovine. The matronly animal is Elm-Branch Blackbird II, a pure-bred Aberdeen-Angus cow owned

by H. A. Cunningham, of Pollock, Mo., whose daugh­ter, Vonda, 16, entered the prize winning female In the contest. Since maturing this remarkable animal has averaged a calf each year. She is In good con­dition, and her owner says that he thinks she will pass the 30-year mark. The cow is pictured here, with her 23rd calf. ,

to school In buses as otherwise they too missed many days during bad weather.

Purchase of the tractor was en­dorsed by Coun. Wren, who also congratulated the Agricultural As­sociation for its accomplishments and made a plea for a highar wage for municipal employees. He advo­cated additional rural schools for the younger pupils or more echool buses, and submitter a detailed fin­ancial report of the Parks Board.

Keep Those Tokens Travelling

This is the plea o f the ration ad­ministration, Wartime Prices and Trade Board, which notices a ten­dency for the little blue tokens to disappear. Consumers are urged to use tokens when purchasing meat and keep them In circulation. By do­ing so they simplify thefr own ra­tioning problems and those o f their butcher.

Apparently the tokens are vanish­ing into handbags, purses, kitchen draws and other receptacles.

Small storekeepers who deal large­ly in canned and cooked meats also seem to be accumulating large stocks o f tokens.

Complaints reaching the ration administration from retailers Indi­cate that they are beginning to feel a shortage o f the little blue chipe with which to make change fo r cou­pons.

Poultry Co-op Plont Big Broiler Plont

Plan to market 26,000 broilers through the Chilliwack Farmers' Co-operative aesociation plant here In early 1940 is announced by as­sociation directors, who hsv# been in contact with coast buyers to ob­tain a market for the local birds.

Coupled with this move is an agreement with eeven local hatchery

. firms to provide on allowance o f one cent fo r each cockerel chick marketed as a broiler through the Chilliwack poultry killing plant.

The association, as a result o f its findings, la calling a general meet­ing o f it* members and those in­terested in the raising o f broilers. Full information for the members will be available at this meeting, to be held Friday evening in the Wo­men's Institute building.

The directors at present contem­plate a 26,000 broiler project for the spring o f 1946. Anyone can participate in this plan. The assoc­iation will do the Idlling and pro­cessing broilers as well as the mar­keting.

Returns will be paid to produc­ers on the basis o f grades. Chickens when dreseed must be 1 % to 2 % pounds in weight and may be either a Leghorn or o f a heavy bread var­iety.

When are let our hearts express themselves more in our homes, we will have fewer heartaches.

■ I ‘Bumblefoot’ Birds Best Disposed Of

Bumblefoot is an abscess or corn on the foot o f ih-j fowl, lhia condi­tion is probably the result o f bruis­ing or injury to the foot. It may be caused by the bird jumping irbm a high perch to a hard floor, by two narrow roosts which force the bird to cling tightly to the pereh at night, or by walking on rough stones, cinders or any material that is likely to cut or injure the bot­tom of the foot.

However, cases have been found in flocks with low roosts and in pens where deep litter is used so it would seem that other causes are responsible fo r its development.

‘With a bad case o f bumblefoot, the foot is so sore that the bird walks with a limp.

Recently a bacterial organism has been isolated from the material in the swelling, but as yet it has not been identified. Then, too, there may be some nutritional factor or factors which may influence the ap­pearance of this troublesome condi­tion.

Unless the bird is particularly valuable, treatment is seldom worth undertaking. It is best to dispose

U. B. C. Institute Planned Next Month

In response to many requests for guidance and assistance in the es­tablishment o f community centres, the University o f B.C., through the services o f its Extension Depart­ment, will sponsor in the new year a two-day Community Centre In­stitute, open to community workers from all over the Province.

This Institute, which is scheduled for Jan. 21 and 22, at the University will be the first* o f its kind ever to be held in any part o f Canada.

Community and welfare workers from points outside Vancouver are particularly invited to attend.

There has been a tremendous growth o f interest in recent months in community welfare work, and many communities throughout the Province are planning to establish community centres.

The Department o f Social Work of the UBC, the only school in Can­ada to have a course in Group Work, will co-operate with the Ex­tension Department in the two-day program.

The Institute is intended primar­ily for:

1. Those who are working to build a community hall or to es­tablish a centre;

2. Those who want assistance in planning to make the most effec­tive use of existing community buildings and facilities;

8. Those who are co-operating with school authorities to make use of the school’s facilities for pro­grams for young people and adults;

4. Those who are active in plan­ning recreational and educational programs in a community which has, as yet, estabished no community centre.

Topics for discussion include: "The Value of • a Centre”, "The "Program of a Centre” , and "The Physical Set-Up of a Centre”.

• Institute Leader will be Miss Elizabeth V. Thomas, AB, MS, special lecturer in Group Work, re­cently appointed to the Department of Social Work. She will assisted by Miss Marjorie V. Smith and other members of the Extension De­partment.

o f the bird when trouble is first detected.

However, if the flock owner thinks it worth while to treat the affected bird the following suggestions may be helpful: As soon as the swell­ing appears lance it with a sharp knife, making an X-shaped incision across the sole o f the foot. The cav­ity should be thoroughly cleaned out and disinfected with a good disin­fectant solution. Pack with gauze and bandage. Tincture o f iodine is a good disinfecting agent The dress­ing should be renewed daily.M A N U R E B Y -P R O D U C T

Poultry manure is a valuable by­product o f 0 the poultry industry. Many poultry keepers might add considerably to their income by giv­ing more attention to the storing, treating and sale o f this product.

In one test 1t was found that a .White Leghorn hen produced an average yearly rate o f 110 pounds o f droppings. This figure is the weight o f moist droppings as they were scraped from the pens each day. But it is thought that eaoh hen produces yearly about 50 to 60 lbs.Si o f manure in the condition in ] which it is usually removed from I the laying hens. . *

A ton o f fresh poultry manure unmixed with litter and not rein­forced with superphosphate, con­tains about 20 pounds o f nitrogen,j” 16 pounds o f available phosphoric acid and 8 pounds o f potash.P R IC E S O F PR U N E S
