Arnould. Canadian Wild Life Films Pack Strand Saturday An attendance estimated at 650 witnessed the showing of six reels of pictures of Canadian wild life and Canadian National park scenery at the Strand Saturday forenoon. The audience was made up of children from the schools of the valley, and so keen was the interest that it is likely a double showing of the next of the series will require to be made in order to accommodate the children. The pictures were especially fine in that they were sharp and clear. The close ups of animal life in native haunts appealed strongly to the children.

Principal H. K. Manuel, of Central school, gave a short resume of each reel preceding the showing. The school pupils were accompanied by teachers and Boy Scouts acted as ushers. The series of pictures is being shown in theatres throughout the province by the Council of Canadian Clubs, with the co operation of Famous Players Canadian Corporation.

Brewery Firm In East Uses Hops From B.C. Out of a musty old leather bound ledger In Montreal comes a story of interest to many in British Columbia. In 1899, so the ledger shows, Molson's brewery, the oldest brewery in Canada, bought 43 bales of choice British Columbia hops. Records are not available as to whether or not this was the first purchase of its kind from B. C.

and it is possible that before 1899 Molson's were buying B. C. hops to make their famous ales. The ledger goes on to show that year by year more and more hops were bought in B. C.

Today Brit RUSSIA THE LAND OF SOVIETS Come and Hear Mr. Williams' Illustrated Lecture This will be a real opportunity to secure first hand Information of the actual conditions prevailing in the much talked of Land of the Soviets. G. H. WILLIAMS, of Semans, will deliver an illustrated lecture on his recent trip to Europe and Russia, In the High School Auditorium Wednesday, February 3 at 8 p.

m. Under the auspices of the United Farmers of Canada, Mr. Williams made a thorough investigation into the entire setup of the Russian present form of government, as to the Five Year Plan, their financial and credit system, the attitude toward religion, their educational system, and their system of marketing agricultural products. Many pictures were taken of historical buildings, as well as modern factories and farms. Admission 50c ish Columbia is one of Molson's most important sources of supply for hops, this demand constituting a most valuable outlet for the hop growers of B.

C. and one that will continue to develop as the output of Molson's increases. It is not practicable, however, for a careful brewer to buy all his hops from one district, as the character of hops from a district or a farm will vary year by year and thus might alter the flavor of the ale. Good ale is kept constantly the same year by year, almost generation by generation, through careful blending of hops from different districts in Canada and in England. Thus British Columbia hops are blended with every Molson's brew as a most important factor in an age old brewing practice developed to assure an unvarying quality and flavor as well as to continue assisting the development of Canadian products.

Good Statement Presented By East Chilliwack Church The annual meeting of the East Chilliwack United Church was held Friday evening, January 22, in the church hall when reports were presented for the year's work. The secretary of the Sunday school reported the number of school sessions held, being 48, with an average attendance of 46.45 and an average collection of $2.05 a Sunday. The treasurer reported the receipts for the year to be $141.65, with a balance on hand of $11.29. The Cradle Roll showed a membership of 32. The Golden Rule Society with a membership of 23 reported the sum of $147.32 had been raised and expended during the year.

The Women's Missionary Society raised the sum of $52 for work during the year. The treasurer reported that the sum of $579.96 had been raised during the year and expended, with liabilities of $124.50 on church hall and $52.96 on minister's salary. The choir report showed that 51 practices were held during the year and 35 anthems sung. Resolutions expressing appreciation of the work of the pastor, the choir and the church board members received enthusiastic support. The church board were re elected with the addition of two members, James Johnston and W.

E. Chid RUSSIA THE LAND OF THE SOVIETS The backbone of the Russian cooperative endeavor is Russia's five year plan for agriculture, and should this new agricultural policy succeed, it will have a powerful economic effect upon Canada in particular, for the reason that agriculture is Canada's basic industry. In this study, the United Farmers of Canada have taken a leading part, and in order to obtain further information, they sent George H. Williams, their past president, to Russia. Before proceeding to Russia, Mr.

Williams attended and took a leading part in the World Wheat Conference held in Rome in the early part of 1930. At this conference, Mr. Williams met the Russian delegation, and at the close of the conference returned with them to Russia, where he spent several months studying the new Russian economic system, and as he was the representative of Canada's farmer co operative organization, he was greatly assisted in his investigations by the Russian leaders. Mr. Williams is a practical farmer, who has for many years taken a leading part in the farmer movement of Western Canada.

He is a capable platform speaker. All who have heard him say that there is a real treat in store for those who attend his lectures. Mr. Williams speaks in the Chilliwack High school auditorium on Wednesday, February 3, at 8 p.m. AT THE STRAND "The Painted Desert," a Western feature picture with Bill Boyd, Helen Twelvetrees and William Farnum heading the cast, will be on view Friday and Saturday.

The picture is said to be colorful, dramatic and thrilling. Youth, its fire and personality, its refusal to bow to the conventional, its modern day penchant for leaping from obscurity to fame overnight is nowhere more strikingly exemplified than in the cast of "An American Tragedy," the mighty drama based on Theodore Dreiser's epic novel, and starring Phillips Holmes, will be showing Monday and Tuesday. In "Sidewalks of New York," a hilarious romance of city life, Buster Keaton plays a millionaire's son who tries to reform the small boys of the tenement districts. Showing Wednesday and Thursday. BRACKEN PROPOSES ONE GOVERNMENT IN THREE PROVINCES Premier John Bracken of Manitoba, in a statement issued at Winnipeg said he favored his province asking governments of Saskatchewan and Alberta to join in a movement seeking one government for the three prairie provinces.
