WEDNESDAY, MAY 17, 1939 $2.00 PER YEAR AST Park Board Appoints Pearson Supervisor Lake Concessions CM. PEARSON, a member of Cultus Lake Park board for eight years, and for some years its chairman, was appointed superintendent of Cultus Lake Park at a meeting of the board Monday at noon.

The appointment dates from May 15 and the salary fixed for the succeeding four months is $150 a month, after which time further consideration will be given to the matter of remuneration. As superintendent Mr. Pearsons will have full charge of all con cessions except the roller skating rink, and general administration under the direction of the board. His first undertaking will be the equipping of the new pavilion and engaging of staffs for the various departments. It is hoped to have the new services ready for the May 24 holiday.

In calling for applications for concession privileges the board had in mind the operation of these services under lease for the season, after which period preparation would be made to take over active operation. Tenders were opened Thursday evening. None of these met with acceptance, and the board decided to look for a manager or superintendent with a view to taking over immediate operation. The suggestion that Chairman Pearson would fill the requirements met with the approval of the board, and Mr. Pearson after some days' consideration, decided to accept.

His resignation as a member of the board preceded his appointment. The municipal council will be requested to make an appointment to fill the vacancy thus created. Contractor C. E. Davis is making good progress with the new pavilion and expects to have it ready for Victoria Day.

Mr. Pearson is dissociating himself from the firm of Pearson Bros, at Sardis, and it will be carried on by E. H. Pearson. Mercury Soars To New Season High Temperature Reaches 86 Degrees Over Weekend Here Residents of Chilliwack and district rolled up their shirt sleeves, opened the doors of their homes, mopped the perspiration off their brows and muttered about the heat Saturday and Sunday.

It was hot 86 degrees on both days at the official thermometer at Cultus Lake, but it wasn't a new record for the month of May. W. H. Hicks, superintendent of Agassiz Experimental farm, said it was 89 degrees on May 2, 1937. On April 22, 1934, it was 90 degrees.

Saturday and Sunday were, however, the hottest days of the year. At any rate, most district residents tried to keep physical effort down to a minimum. The weather gave Mother a tough break on Mother's Day. It wasn't much fun cooking dinner over a hot stove Sunday. Many a local resident took his first swim of the year in Cultus lake, where "stimulating" best describes, in a mild way, the 58 degrees of the lake waters.

Numerous local people spent the day In shady spots up the highway. All main highways bore heavy traffic over the weekend. Monday the countryside cooled off a bit under the influence of a refreshing wind. The thermometer dropped to 77 degrees. Monday night a brief thunder and lightning storm preceded rain.

Local rivers and creeks rose rapidly over the weekend as the warm weather melted snow on surrounding hills. J. T. Henley, operator of the Rosedale Agassiz ferry, re ports that the spring freshet on the Fraser is approximately three weeks in advance of last year's freshet. At May 1 this year the river stood at 11 feet 8 inches.

Tuesday the river had risen to 14 feet The Vedder river turned from a green stream to a dark brown, swirling torrent.

Baseball Club Joins Border Loop Eight team League Of Washington and B.C. Towns Formed at Sumas Outside competition for Chilliwack baseballers was assured Friday night at a meeting at Sumas, when local ivory moguls announced their willingness to join with Langley Prairie and Maple Falls, Northwood Grange, Kendall, Delta Grange, Everson and possibly Blaine in a Border baseball league. Each team will be limited to 15 players and the squads must be selected by July 1.

Parking Angle To Be Changed On City's Main Thoroughfares A NGLE parking is to be continued on both sides of Welling ton avenue and Yale road east, in the business section, it was decided at Monday night's meeting of the city council, the angle to be 35 degrees as compared with 45 degrees which obtained prior to the resurfacing of these streets last fall. New markings will be completed as soon as possible. With the old marking obliterated as a result of street grade reduction, the works department has been studying a proposal to inaugurate parallel parking, which is already in effect on Young road north and south, sections of Princess and other avenues.

Parallel parking would cut down parking by one half, a decrease in accommodation that did not appear to be offset by traffic advantages. The yellow center line has been repainted on Main street and will be replaced on Wellington avenue. The line will be painted on the Trans Canada section through the city by the provincial public works department or the city, which ever process works out the cheapest. Authority to close sections of Nowell and Young roads for a specified period during the afternoon of the state visit of the King and Queen to Chilliwack was given police.

J. A. Munro officiating. Burial was in I. O.

O. F. cemetery. Pallbearers were W. Banford, Ralph Berney, Alf McConnell, F.

Forsyth, Alex. Stewart and Archie McKenzie. The deceased, a well known war veteran, was found lying in a field on his McNaught road farm shortly after 8 p.m. Thursday by provincial police who were investigating a report that a body had been seen in the field. Fetterly was faced with a morals charge in police court Thursday morning and had been released on bail of $500.

Trial on the case was to have opened yesterday. Deceased was a member of the Chilliwack Company of the 104th Regiment and enlisted for overseas service when war was declared by Britain. He was a member of Canada's first contingent, served in the early engagements, was with two brothers taken prisoner and spent 44 months as a prisoner of war in Germany. On returning to Chilliwack at the close of the war, he took up farming. A coroner's enquiry was held Friday morning under Coroner C.

N. Tingle at the Court House. "Mac" Otto Russack, McNaught road farmer, testified that he and his brother were driving cattle out to pasture after milking when they saw a body lying in the field. Russack telephoned police. Constable Thomas Brunton said that he and Sergeant W.

J. Thomson had found the body lying in a corner of a field on the Fetterly farm. A .22 rifle was lying on the ground with the barrel pointed towards the body, he said. "The bolt was released and a .22 shell in the chamber had been fired. There was no sign of any struggle," the officer testified.

John H. Munson, who, with his wife, lives on the Fetterly farm, said that after the deceased had been released on bail, Fetterly had, at his own request, entered into an arrangement with him to run the farm for a period of three years. Fetterly, according to the witness, said that he was going to Winnipeg until the affair "blew over." The witness testified that after he and Fetterly arrived home they had lunch, and that Fetterly talked and seemed quite cheerful. Fetterly was asked whether there was any truth in the facts of the case against him and he replied "yes and no." The witness said that Fetterly frequently went off by himself when he was worried about some thing, and therefore no cause for alarm was felt when the deceased did not appear to help with the milking. It was later discovered that the rifle, which was kept in the barn, had disappeared.

Munson had heard no shots, he reported. The deceased was born in Car berry, and is survived by his mother and father, Mr. and Mrs. David Fetterly; his wife, who has been separated from him for some time; brothers are Walter at Winnipeg, Wilfred at Rosedale, Corliss, Chilliwack; Mrs. Norman Skelton of Chilliwack and Mrs.

Joe Kenia of Vancouver are sisters and there are two sisters living in California. ized.

The medical health officer was requested to report on complaints made to the health department re a number of faulty septic tanks. A bylaw was passed authorizing purchase of a lot facing Woodbine avenue for corporate purposes.

The price paid was $85. The owners of a lot situate between the Bank of Commerce and The Peaks property, through their solicitor, J. H. Bowes, demanded removal of an obstruction at the lane entrance to their property allegedly placed there by the operator of The Peaks. The latter will be given notice to remove same.

L. O. McCarter, who constructed a black top sidewalk on Williams road last summer, is asked to forthwith recondition same in compliance with the terms of his contract. The council declined to support Milk Agency Cost Estimated At $15,000 Yearly Single Agency Issues Statement Outlining Functions and Charge On Valley Producers Independent and cooperative milk producers alike are asked to give serious consideration to a statement of policy issued today by the Milk Producers Clearing House Cooperative association, over the signature of J. W.

Carmichael, secretary. The statement asks producers to get behind the single agency and to give it a trial for a year, after which they believe dairymen will be satisfied. "Do not listen to stories," warns the statement. "Write us for facts or call a meeting which we will be glad to attend on invitation." The statement follows: Many producers seem to be rather confused with regard to the cost of operation of the single agency. You cannot blame them, for many extravagant statements have been made, such as 'cost to producers to be $100,000.00 along with the cost of the milk board, bacteriological plant, and a whole army of inspectors," or a cost purporting to be in the neighborhood of $200,000.00.

What wiU be the duty of the single agency? To purchase all the milk of the producer at his milkstand; to sell to the distributor his full requirements, giving him the same producers as are at present supplying him: to sell all milk not required in the fluid market to the manufacturers at the best possible price obtainable; to collect from the distributor and manufacturer for his purchases; to pay the haulers; to deduct from these collections the cost of operating the agency and to pay the balance back to the producer. These costs are for clerical work necessary to take care of the accounting; preparing settlement statements; stationery; revenue and postage stamps; sampling, grading and testing the producers' milk: paying haulers. Heretofore the producer has always paid these costs. Although not actually shown on his statements as deductions, they have nevertheless been paid by him. What additional cost will the single agency have? Three directors at $150.00 per month and expenses.

Will there be a general manager? No. The present board feels that previous experience will enable it to carry on without the services of a general manager, saving that expense. Will there be an army of inspectors? We have decided on five, at a salary of $100.00 per month, and their work will be to protect the producer on his grading, testing and weighing. We have now analyzed these costs, and what do we find? The major costs have always been paid by the producer. Additional costs to the producer will he: three directors with expenses, say $7000 per year; five inspectors costing $6000 per year: incidentals amounting to $2000 per year.

The total expense is $15,000 per year. This sum is approximately one fifth of one cent per pound butterfat. What can the producer pain by this expenditure? His set price to all dealers. Without taking into consideration any saving that might be made by consolidation, the saving of many hundreds of thousands of dollars which today is being wasted in the city markets by the giving of bonuses, rebates, as well as the elimination of the duplication of deliveries, and at the same time give the consumer high class milk at no additional cost. Single Agency Office Staff Released Pending outcome of the injunction proceedings, the Single Milk agency has dispensed with its re cently appointed office staff with the exception of an accountant and a stenographer.

The office, however, is still open and the direc tors and secretary are in atten dance. Milk producers continue to register with the milk board and to pay their license fees. Compulsory registration is not affected by the pending court action. Great ma jority of producers have already registered. The last day for regis tration is May 20.

Across Canada By Horse Is Aim of English Girl Swaying as she sat astride the big nine year old horse which slipped and slid it walked down the high crown of the city's main street, Miss Mary Bosanquet, 25 year old English girl, completed the third day of her horseback trip across Canada Friday. The slight adventurer was met by Mrs.

Molly Waters and Mrs. George Grossman, riding enthusiasts, who provided her with overnight accommodation. "How did you like the heat today?" she was asked. "Well, look here," she said, pointing to her bare arms, done to a neat turn of brown by Old Sol. Miss Bosanquet, who started out from Vancouver on her trip across Canada Tuesday, left Ab botsford Friday morning and arrived here at 4:15 p.m.

Dressed in a serviceable pair of brown slacks, topped by a green and white checkered blouse, Miss Bosanquet regarded her arms with interest and determined that "she would wear something with sleeves in it tomorrow." Her nose was just beginning, to peel. Biggest question in the young lady's mind at the time was shopping. She wasn't particularly interested in being interviewed. "Oh these newspapermen so much publicity," was, in fact, the dubious terms on which the whole thing was conducted. It wasn't very interesting for anybody.

The young lady dabbed at her face with a powder puff and set off on a shopping tour. We pursued, houndlike, behind. We tracked her into a vegetable store and squeezed in a couple of questions while she was squeezing oranges. The oranges gave us an idea. "What do you eat?" we asked.

"Well, whatever they have where I stay. Last night they gave me some sandwiches." "Do you eat much fruit?" we asked. "Oh yes," she replied brightly, "quite a lot." "Where are you going to stay tomorrow night?" "Oh, with these ladies. Somewhere in the country." "Where are you going to spend tomorrow night?" we asked again. "Oh, if we go well, we shall perhaps get to Hope.

If we don't go so well, we won't get so far." After pondering over an invitation to accompany the young English girl on the Trans Canada trip, Mrs. Waters decided not to go but accompanied her guest as far as Popcum. Miss Bosanquet made St. Elmo her headquarters overnight, spent Sunday night in Hope and Monday morning set out for Princeton over the Hope Princeton trail. She was accompanied by Bill Richmond, well known Hope authority on the trail.

Drivers Testing Unit Returns To District Cards Calling For Compulsory Appearance Of Motorists May Be Sent Out This Week Unless Chilliwack motor vehicle drivers show a greater response to suggestions that they take their drivers tests voluntarily, officials of the traveling testing station here will send out cards ordering motorists to appear for their tests on or before a specified date.

The traveling unit returned to the city Monday after a swing around Valley towns. It will remain here until June 3, when it will be transferred to North Vancouver. The unit is in charge of Constable George Lindsay, former traffic patrol officer in this district, who is assisted by Constable Stanton. On Monday only eighteen drivers presented themselves for the test, and unless the driving public appears in larger numbers, it will be summoned to appear. A few days are allowed between the mailing of the card and the time set for the appearance of the individual, who may arrange to appear at any time before the specified date.

If the driver fails to present himself before that time, he will be sent another card announcing that his drivers license is subject to im mediate cancellation if he does not appear before a specified time. In New Westminster eleven drivers who failed to appear when scheduled had their drivers licenses cancelled for 60 days. No cancellations of drivers li censes have yet been made here, Constable Lindsay reports, although the issuance of restricted drivers licenses has been fairly common. Office hours of the unit are from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., Monday to and including Saturday, excluding holidays.

Notice cards will be sent out at random, and not in accordance with any preconceived scheme, says Constable Lindsay. Appoint ments may be secured by applica tion to the provincial police headquarters, City hall.

The ranking of the first three schools was the same as last year. To husky Bob Field, making his first appearance in the valley meet, went the laurels for the starriest performance in the toughest division of them all the senior boys. In walking off with the senior boys' individual title the former Vancouver Island private school boy cracked two records, took three firsts.

He won the broad jump, placed third in the shot put, and ran anchor man on the senior boys relay team which burned up the track for a new record at 1 minute 38 3 10 seconds for the half mile.

Of the nine records broken Chilliwack was responsible for three.

Ron Archibald disappointed blue and gold supporters when he tied for only second place in the senior boys high jump. Chilliwack'8 strong senior boys' squad was strongly rounded out by Ed Halsall who ran a great race to win the senior boys' mile by 50 yards.

Alastair Jack, Floyd Rannie and Harry Cartmell were the only point getters for Chilliwack in the intermediate boys' division.
