A Robin's Status As a Prophet Members of the robin redbreast family were in temporary disgrace last week. As weather prognostlcators they turned out to be as unreliable as groundhogs, weathermen (official and unofficial varieties) and other natural phenomena. Numerous telephone calls from subscribers during the early part of last week indicated very clearly, at least to The Proyress office, that the robins were here again. Now the presence of robins, as everyone knows, is generally taken as a sure fire sign that spring, and all its glories, is approaching. Thursday the temperature sank to 14 above zero, coldest of the winter.

Friday four inches of snow fell. The robins, or the majority of the robins, were still here. Their faces must have been as red, figuratively speaking, as their famed breasts. They had pulled a boner, and they seemed to know it full well as they shivered and pecked at apples and whatever food was on the snow covered ground. One missed it.

Curiously, it was a white one which has been noticed in the vicinity of Thomas Gibbens', Hope River road. It had a mottled breast, a yellow beak and it acted exactly like the other robins. As if endowed with some premonition of coming events, it left the area just before the storm. But the storm Is over, the snow has gone, everyone is walking around and telling everyone else how much like spring it is and the robin is back in good grace again. Car Hits Two Poes P.

G. Quinn, Vancouver salesman, narrowly escaped serious injury Thursday afternoon when his car spun off' the Trans Canada highway east of here near the intersection of the Banford road, and crashed into a B. C. Electric guy pole. The car continued for 100 feet along a ditch at the side of the road and hit a telephone pole, cutting it off near the base.

The car was badly damaged. Quinn was fined $10 and costs for driving in a manner dangerous to the public. A car driven by P. O. Jinkerson, Banford road, and a truck owned by the Chilliwack Cartage company collided on the Trans Canada highway immediately west of the city boundary Thursday morning.

Con siderable damage was done to the car, but no one was injured. Railway Ticket 16 Feet in Length An all time record is claimed by the Canadian Pacific railway for the 15 foot 11 mch railway ticket which it sold to Miss Alice John ston, who arrived in Canada by the Canadian Pacific liner Duchess of Atholl, and is now traveling across Canada on a speaking tour for the Association of Canadian Clubs. The ticket which is the longest ever sold by the company provides for Miss Johnston's visit to 80 Canadian towns and cities. In addition to 15 feet 11 inches of railway tickets, Miss Johnston also possesses tickets covering sleeping and parlor car accommodation for the entire trip. All reservations have been made in advance.

Experience is what you get when you are looking for something else. The hen is the only kind of a "bird" llxit can lay around and produce. FORTY EIGIITII YEAR, Vol. No. 45 CHILLIWACK, B.

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1939 TWELVE PAGES $2.00 PER YEAR Producer Control Direst Need of Farmers Gardom rpiIAT the farming population of the Fraser Valley was suffering a loss estimated at $250,000 through alleged malpractises in the marketing of milk; that the value of farm land was depreciating because of the existing marketing set up, and that industries were being kept out of the valley because of unsettled conditions, were highlights in an address delivered by Basil Gardom, president of the Independent Milk Producers' Co operative association, to a small number of dairymen in the city hall Thursday afternoon. Mr. Gardom, formerly known as the "stormy petrel of the milk business," is one of the two candidates running for the one independent seat on the Single Agency board, designated recently as the Milk Producers' Clearing House association. Reviewing briefly the conditions which led up to the establishment of the present marketing set up he stated "that it is nothing new to meet with the directors of the Fraser Valley Milk Producers' association. I offered to work out a plan that would be equitable for all farmers in 1931.

It has been my desire from the beginning to secure an equitable settlement." Even before the Privy council handed down its famous decision making British Columbia's milk marketing legislation valid, he had formed the opinion that there had to be some change in the marketing set up if conditions in the dairy industry were to improve. He stated that there had never been any doubt about abiding by the Privy council decision. "After our case was lost it was up to us to get out the most equitable settlement we could whether we won or lost we were bound to control our wholesale prices." Later the speaker said "Unless you are willing to control your wholesale prices you can do nothing." There is no way to control the price without a single agency, he said. Comparing the new Vancouver marketing set up with one recently established in Los Angeles, he told his audience that in the southern city the distributors would not cooperate. "The farmers simply threatened to put all their milk into the churn unless the distributors fell into line," Mr.

Gardom stated. The speaker said that he hoped that the new system would have been ready to operate by January 1. Now he hopes the scheme will be ready by March 1. Questioned from the floor, the speaker said that he didn't know whether a quota system would be better than a summer winter equalization fund or not. Charles Evans, a director of the I.

M. P. C. told the meeting that Mr. Gardom had the complete confidence of the board of directors of the organization, and that the organization was entirely in accord with his efforts.

A. E. J. Farrow was chairman of the meeting. To take control of the farmers' wholesale milk price out of the hands of the dairies and place it in the hands of the producers, where it belongs, is the object of the Single Agency plan, now law, says Mr.

Gardom in a statement issued to The Proyress today. "The present method of milk marketing is all in favor of the distributor," Mr. Gardom states. "From the time the farmer delivers his milk at the platform he loses control of price. From then on he is the victim of a ruthless war of competition waged by city dairies, who use cut rates, long term credits and sometimes doubtful tests in the drive for business.

By the time it runs the gauntlet, much of his milk has been lost by serious leakages, and his returns have been considerably lowered," he claims. It is to remedy this condition, and to stabilize milk prices, that the Single Agency plan has been evolved, states Mr. Gardom. "The secret rebates that dairies hand out to hotels, restaurants and other large consumers are a direct charge upon the producer and benefit no one," he declares. "The farmers pay for them, not the dairies.

This practise is all the more deplorable because it is unnecessary. It springs from cut throat competition among the dairies, who steadily increase in number, and not at the request of those purchasing milk. "Under the Single Agency there will be no more 25 day credits to dairies. This gives opportunity for small, irresponsible dairies to finance at the expense of the producer. All milk bought will be subject to a bond guaranteeing payment, and that is what the Single Agency will insist upon." Mr.

Gardom points out that the plan is now law, and that the question at issue is not whether the farmers will accept it, but whether they will co operate with it to make it work in their own interests, or let control slip into the hands of the distributors, some of whom are fighting to retain it, "I am nominated as candidate for independent director of the Clear ing House Co operative Dy curec tors of the Independent Milk Pro ducers' co operative association by many members of the Shippers' Agency and by many pro ducer vendors, to operate the pro ducer plan which the directors of the F. V. M. P. A.

and our directors developed, and which was later ratified by over 83 per cent or uie producers themselves. Our purpose will be to hold reasonable wholesale farmer prices, and get rid of Candidates In Verbal Battle E. G. Sherwood and Basil Gar dom, representatives of the two opposing factions in the Independent milk situation this afternoon, carried their verbal joust to farm ers in this area. Both men are seeking the independent seat on the Single Agency.

Twenty five dairymen attended the meeting which was held in Municipal hall and heard the two men exchange a lively verbal battle of wits. "It is the parties who have been naming the price to the dairies who represent you that are causing leakages," said Mr. Sherwood. "What you want are people to handle the sale of your milk who have the courage and knowledge to get a decent price. Get those people and there won't be so much to away," said Mr.

Sherwood, referring to Mr. Gardom's statements to the effect that leakages which were costing Fraser Valley dairymen $250,000 a year, could only be settled by means of the Single Agency. "This Single Agency will bring into favor compulsory pooling unless those on the board don't want it and won't vote for it," he said. "There is nothing in the decision of the Privy Council which says we must have compulsory pooling under this Act." Mr. Sherwood conducted a vigorous defense against the charges which, he said, had been levelled against him by his opponents.

He defied anyone to prove that he was not a producer, or that he was interested in the capital stock In the dairies in the city of Vancouver. Mr. Gardom said that the Single Agency was a plan for farmer control of farmer prices. He said that the plan was designed to stop losses to farmers from malprac tises and that the day It goes into force malpractises will be stopped "If it is honestly and efficiently operated it will be good for every man in this valley," he said. "It is physically impossible to hold the farmers' own wholesale price ex cept through one clearing house This policy is right and it is up to each of us to stand by it." Lesley Salaries Partially Restored Arbitration Board Awards Teachers $2975 Added Pay Thirty one Langley teachers won a partial victory in their fight for salary increases last week, when the salary arbitration board, of which E.

Stuart Davidson was chairman, handed down a decision awarding the teachers increases totalling $2975. When the salary restoration deadlock was carried to arbitration, the Langley teachers had asked for increases totalling $4325. The last counter offer of the school trustees was for increases totalling $310. The award is nearly 75 per cent of the amount asked by the teachers. It was noted that nine teachers had previously accepted an offer by the trustees and had accordingly written themselves out of the arbitra tion.

The award was estimated to come to 5 6 of a mill in additional taxes The arbitration board, discussing the financial reports of Langley, drew attention to a surplus of $1700 carried over from the previous year. It was suggested that by using this and by economies in the controllable school costs, the in creased salaries could be paid with' out increasing the tax rate. The arbitrators found Langley was not in as bad a position finan cially as it might have been. The government is paying 50 per cent of school costs now. Since 1929 the government is granting $8000 more to salaries and the municipality is paying some $7000 less to salaries.

Of the net municipal receipts of $95,749 about one third was going to the schools, whereas in other municipalities as much as 50 per cent of the receipts go to the schools. the controversy of the past by restoring harmony in the country, which has always been stirred up by the distributors to gain their own purpose and keep control of both ends of the market at the expense of the farmer and consumer. In this plan lies the only hope for a better farmer deal, and it rests with them to obtain it in their common interests." Edward a I a 1 1 Finds New Home In Canada "It bust. I blowed too hard and it bust." The remaining fragments of the balloon lay in his hands. Such was the sum and substance of an interview with blonde, six year old Eddie Hal sall yesterday.

Eddie Halsall, now the third person of that name in Chilllwack, is one of the district's newest citizens. He arrived Saturday night after having crossed the broad Pacific all by himself on the huge Empress of Japan. China born son of a former British naval officer who died In China last April, Eddie is going to live here with his aunt and uncle, Mr. and Mrs. Edward Halsall, 303 Nowell street south.

Everyone has made a big fuss over little Eddie since he left Hong Kong. He got to know everyone on the boat. He was greeted by photographers, reporters, his new guardians, and C. P. R.

officials when he landed. Stories about him in the papers everyone knew he was coming. "What do you think of things here, Eddie?" we asked him. Eddie, who had just been taken through the office by his uncle and who was interestedly looking at a photograph of himself, just kept looking. "Do you like it over here, Eddie?" "Yes." The answer was clipped, came out in a rush.

We were told that his biggest thrill to date was seeing snow for the first time. Sunday afternoon he got out and played in it and enjoyed himself immensely. "First time you'd seen snow?" we asked him. "Yes." curt, complete. "Have you ever been to school, Eddie?" "No." His deep blue eyes, fringed with dark eyelashes, twinkled when he thought of the snow.

A smile lit up his face. One of his newest Canadian habits chewing gum was interrupted, temporarily. His little blue cap all but covered his blonde hair. His face is quick to respond, intelligent. His new guardians are going to start him to school soon, if they can.

Perhaps next Monday he may join the ranks of other children. Eddie wasn't much interested in being interviewed. He dug a balloon out of his blue coat and started to blow and test his teeth on it. It blew up. That was great.

The little face brightened and broke into a big smile. The little chap who had managed his way across the Pacific was thoroughly happy in his new surroundings. "It bust. I blew too hard and it bust." And away he trotted, carrying the picture of himself and his uncle and aunt. Pro Rec Film Showings Dates for the showing of the P.

Airplane Crash Case Reopened Local Pilot Faced With Three Charges By Federal Authorities More than three months after the airplane which he was piloting crashed at the corner of Princess avenue and Young road south, Eric Eversfield, local service station attendant, will face three charges of breaking air regulations. Eversfield and six witnesses are summoned to appear before Magis trate Wilson next Tuesday for hear ing.

Maximum penalty provided under the law for each of the three charges is $1000 andor six months, it is learned. The charges were laid by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police on behalf of the department of transport. Eversfield is accused of flying the machine over the municipality of Chilliwhack without "having had the said aircraft inspected on the said 3rd day of November 1938 by an Air Engineer and a certificate entered in the Log Book of the said Aircraft and Log Book of the engine of the said Aircraft by such Air Engineer." The second charge alleges that he flew the plane "at such an altitude as would not enable the said aircraft to alight outside the said city had the means of propulsion failed through mechanical breakdown or other cause." The third charge alleges that he carried out "flying which by reason of low altitude and prox imity to persons and dwellings was dangerous to public safety." Witnesses summoned to appear include Robert Kelsey, owner of the plane, who is now in Prince Rupert; Roy Brett, F. Coutts, H. Hallam, R.

Jackson and Frank Edwards, air engineer. F. K. Grimmett will appear for the crown, E. S.

Davidson for the accused. The accused was faced with charge of theft immediately after the accident, but the charge wasJ later withdrawn to provide for a civil settlement of damages which the owner claimed had been done to the machine. Snow Conies and Goes in Hurry The frosty east wind which blew mto the Valley most of last week was followed Friday with milder temperatures and a fall of from four to six inches of snow Friday night. Rain began to fall Saturday. The wind shifted to the west, tenv perature rose rapidly and by Sun day morning practically all the snow had disappeared.

The city's new snow plow ar rived as Friday night's snow made its appearance and was put into operation early Saturday morning. Municipal plows were not brought out. Many Home Changes C.

Councils' Black Magic lllV MIA, Unfavorable To Hill Bus Route Provincial Officer Against Running New Machines to Ryder Lake A report submitted by Sergeant H.

G. Macdonald, school bus inspector, recommending that no attempt be made to use the new school buses to transport pupils to and from the Ryder Lake district, will be studied by school boards this week. Sergeant Macdonald, accompanied by Chairman William Stand even of the municipal school board, Constable George Lindsay of the highway patrol division, Provincial Police, and 'Trustee E. S. Pearson, inspected the road two weeks ago, and his written report states "that in the interest of safety that such vehicles as referred (new buses) should not operate over this route." The narrowness of the road, which is of a mountainous type, "together with the fact that other vehicles such as logging trucks with timber, trucks with firewood, etc.etc, are constantly in operation leads me further to believe that this route should not be considered as part of your proposed school bus route over which your new school buses will operate.

A large percentage of this route is definitely a one way road with drops of approximately 100 feet on the outside, with practically no shoulders to the road." Buses have an overall width of eight feet while the road is not more than nine feet most of the way. Pioneers Attend Last Rites For Mrs. K. Dumvill Came to District In 1877 From American Middle West; Grew With Community Old timers of the district paid tribute to one of their rapidly diminishing numbers Monday afternoon when they laid to rest Mrs. Kathleen Dumvill, 89, one of the most respected of those who can recall the earliest beginnings of the community.

Mrs. Dumvill was a link with the days when families drove a wagon hauled by oxen to a little church on the banks of the Atchelitz creek on Sundays; with the days beiore there was a Center ville, a Chilliwack; before there were stores at Five Corners; before the flood of 1894. Kindly, encouraging, well able to withstand hardships, Mrs. Dumvill was one of the quiet but inspiring figures who created homes in the wilderness that became Chilliwack, settled here, died here. Born in Arran, Scotland, in 1850, she came to Canada, first to Prince Edward Island and then to New Brunswick, at eighteen months.

Her family settled in Campbell ton, N. B. In 1872 she "went west" to Wisconsin, and in May 1877 married Theophilus Dumvill in Marinette, Wis. Together they moved to Sardis, coming via Cali fornia and up the Fraser river to Chilliwack by stern wheeler. They settled at Sardis on property now owned by the B.

C. Hop company, Mr. Dumvill there started the first hop yard in the Valley. He purchased the plants in Puyallup Wash. The property was later owned by the Horst Hop company, which followed up the hop growing operations.

Mr. Dumvill senior died in 1899. Together with her son, E. A. Dumvill, prominent livestock breeder, she moved to what was in 1904 a wilderness of trees and slough.

A house was built, land cleared and the property became what is now beautiful Lindell Farm. Mrs. Dumvill stayed with Mr. and Mrs. E.

A. Dumvill until her death. In November of 1938 she became ill and was confined to her bed. A few weeks ago she appeared to be on the road to recovery. Surviving are three daughters, Mrs.

Elgin A. Munro and Mrs. Frank Kipp, Chilliwack; Mrs. Roy J. Saunderson, Akron, Ohio; one son, E.

A. Dumvill, and one brother living in Pennsylvania. Mrs. Dumvill was prominently connected with Carman church for many years, but her main sphere of influence was her home and among her friends. Like many of the pioneers, in the early days she knew everyone and it was her kindly words and helpful interest which made her respected among them.

Rev. J. H. White and Rev. J.

Nixon officiated at the funeral service at Carman United church. In terment was in the I. O. O. cemetery.

Honorary pallbearers were pi oneers of the district, including A. H. Gillanders, J. A. Evans, Charles H.

Evans, E. A. Wells, William Newby, Alfred MacDonald. Active pallbearers were Cecil Munro, Norman McFetridge, Ronald McFet ridge, Ernest Child, Lloyd Mcln tyre and Frank Edwards. Local Hoop Team Takes Lead In Valley Championships A LAST period bid for victory that netted 15 points gave 1 Sardis City Valleys a 37 28 win over Cloverdale in the third game of the provincial Senior basketball playdowns at Cloverdale last night and also conceded to be the finest hoop a chance to wind up the series Friday night.

Militia Members On Special Trips Attend Poison Gas Demonstration, Regimental Banquet Two special events were on the calendar of Company, Westminster Regiment, Thursday and Friday, when large representations from the local unit attended an anti gas demonstration on the first occasion and the annual regimental dinner in New Westminster the following night. Respirator drill, the nature of various gases and protective measures were outlined by Corporal Fetherstone and Private Shorne of the 'Princess Patricia, Canadian Light Infantry at Mission. Members of Company, Mission, entertained the local group of 22 members after the demonstration. The annual dinner at New Westminster Friday was tendered by Honorary Lieutenant Colonel R. Whitelaw.

Over 150 members of the regiment attended, including 27 members of Company. Short addresses were given by Colonel Whitelaw and Lieutenant Colonel Loat. The regiment was complimented highly on its success in the recent D.C.O.'s inspection, in which Company received highest honors. The Westminster Regimental band delivered several musical selections. The Westminster Regiment (M.G.), comprising headquarters, A and companies at New Westminster, Company, Mission, and Company, Chilliwack, became a machine gun unit in the 1936 mili tia reorganization.

It is the pioneer militia unit on the mainland, dating back to the early sixties, when it was formed following the disbanding of the famous Royal Engineers. Since that time the regiment has had a long and colorful history. Wismer Addresses Washington Senate On Borstal System Attorney General Gordon S. Wis' mer of British Columbia Wednes' day night urged the Washington State Senate to adopt the Borstal type system of dealing with youthful criminals recently instituted in his province. The Senate has before it a bill to set up an institution similar to New Haven, near Vancouver.

"Our system of punishment for crime as such has failed of its purpose, namely, the prevention of crime and reform of the criminal," Mr. Wismer said. It is my opinion that the prevailing system of treatment of youthful offenders, certainly in Canada and I believe also largely in the United States, has been archaic." In advocating separate establish ments for confinement of first time offenders, the attorney general said young men sent to prison mingle with hardened criminals. "Since the Borstal Home inception sixty youths have graduated Beauty and Inspiration in Every Mile Of Chilliwack Hope Agassiz Loop Editor, The Progress. A few months ago you printed in full in your paper a copy of a pamphlet written by Dr.

McCaffrey, of Agassiz, on the Agassiz Haig link of the Fraser Scenic Circle. The article has travelled far afield and I am enclosing copy 'of a letter recently received by Dr. McCaffrey, the contents of which perhaps will prove of interest to old timers and many others on both sides of the river. W. G.

Harris, Secretary. Agassiz Harrison Board of Trade. "An old time friend sent me your article on the Chilliwack Hope Agassiz Loop. To me it is intensely interesting. To those who have eyes to see there is beauty and inspiration every mile of the way.

"In June 1892 in company with Rev. C. M. Tate I landed at Ruby Creek station and crossed the Fraser and was installed as a Methodist missionary at St. Elmo post office on the Jones farm, and many a time I tramped that trail of romance the Cariboo road from Popcum to Hope.

I can still see the trout playing in the waters of Jone creek. "Owen Jones was one of nature's noblemen. A Welshman who swore occasionally and read his Welsh Bible every Sunday. He sold the gave the local squad, generally aggregation developed in years, when the two teams meet here Valleys won the first game at Cloverdale, Cloverdale won the second at Sardis. The series, now standing at two games to one for the local squad, is a best three out of five affair.

Valleys will go into the fourth engagement distinct favorites to end the series, for the large Agricultural hall is made to order for the local's style of play. Valleys alternately chilled and thrilled a band of local supporters as they played good, bad and indifferent ball, but flashed a brilliant offensive in the last five minutes of the game which swept Cloverdale completely out of the picture. The win climaxed an up hill battle, score at the quarter being 8 15, at the half 16 14, and at three quarter 24 22, all for Cloverdale. Charles "Cocky" Currie, run into the game in the last quarter, provided the spark that set off the Valley explosion. Just as cool as though playing marbles in his own back yard, "Cocky" played the best game of his basketball career, throwing up a defense that Cloverdale just couldn't crack.

His beautiful one handed shot from the key that brought Valleys within two points of the green shirts proved to be the turning point of the game. Gar Taylor, on the bench during most of the game, was tossed into the fray when the score read 26 26. He came through with a beautiful flip flop from the corner, followed by a one handed pot from the key to put Valleys four points up. Shaw clicked on a long shot, Evans scored from the key, and Hopman retaliated for Cloverdale to leave the score 34 28 with one minute to go. The way Valleys were playing the lead looked as big as a mountain.

Evans sifted through for a basket and a free shot to stow away the game. At the start of the game Taylor opened the scoring but Gardiner, Temblett and Hopman ran in baskets to give Cloverdale an 8 5 lead at the quarter. Berry and Taylor intercepted passes, tore right in to score and gave Valleys a brief 13 10 lead. This was carved down by Hopman and Gardiner to give Cloverdale a 16 13 lead at the half. Cloverdale's last three baskets of the half came as a result of sloppy ball handling and passing by the Valley crew.

The teams battled evenly through the third quarter, but when the Valley bomb exploded in the last quarter nothing could have stopped them. Evans led the Valleys with 11 points, Taylor had 8, Shaw worked for 6, Berry and Scott alternated at center bagging 5 points each, and Currie had 2. Graham and Weeks injected a lot of pepper into the battle. Gardiner and Hopman were "the works," as far as Cloverdale was concerned. They scored 21 out of Cloverdale's total of 28 points.

"I was not over the road from 1895 until 1934 when Bert Hor well and his daughter drove me to Hope and across the bridge. I thought that Easter Sunday, as I did in 1892, that Hope was the most beautiful location I had ever seen or imagined. The down river vista is entrancing and the up river is awe inspiring.

And how I loved to stand on the bank of the old Fraser at St. Elmo and gaze at the green slopes and grand peaks up river. Yes, like yourself, I have walked the C. P. Agassiz to Hope, Yale, Spuzzum and North Bend.

"Evidently Maria Island is still a forest. I recall lying in Bert Hor well's bed on the south side of the river in May 1894 and listening for hours to the boom, boom, of trees falling from Maria Island into the river. I fear that a Grit government could not protect that soft soil from a Fraser. "Now Doctor, I could go on to the bottom of my paper pad with reminiscences that would interest me and bore you, so I will wish you success in obtaining completion of the "Loop." If Jack Mc Rae and his wife "Amby," are still there remember me to them. The McRaes, Ogilvies, Horwells and Ash tons were, I think, about all the old time friends left in 1934.".
