Tage Eight MILLION PERSONS WILL BE REHOUSED IN OLD COUNTRY Britain has embarked on the greatest campaign against slums in its history. In the next five years I nearly $500,000,000 will be expend ed in clearing away 210,000 slum dwellings and in erecting alternative modern accommodation. More than one million people will be rehoused and the work will give steady employment to 50,000 men in the building trade and to another 30,000 in trades indirectly concerned. Gigantic though these figures are, Labor party critics deride the statement of Sir Hilton Young, the minister of health, to the effect that the carrying out of this program "will break the back of the slum evil." responsible authority," says the Labor Daily Herald, "has ever estimated the number of slums in the country at less than 500,000. Some place it as high as 750,000, to say nothing of a probable further 500,000 dwellings below a reasonable modern He was a wise man who said he hadn't time to worry.

Coach Jackson is trying to line up a game for his proteges against Abbotsford, Fraser Valley League wonders.

Tentative plans are made for the war to take place at Matsqui on Saturday night. In the senior section Rosedale took the measure of Sardis 29 14, having an edge on play all evening. Team scores in the two games were as follows: High School Aces Taylor 13, Currie 14, Jones 8, Schultz 2. Baird 1, Arthur 10, and Shaw 551.

Sardis Winning Sardis senior entry in the Fraser Valley League took Chilliwack Athletics very much into camp in an exhibition tilt Thursday night, trimming them 51 24. In an intermediate A tilt Athletics nosed out Sardis by one point, 26 to 25. Sardis journeyed to Mission Saturday night in a regular Fraser Valley League card, winning two of the three games played. The men won 31 29, and the girls by 18 15. In the intermediate A boys division, however, the boys from the north side won 29 14.

WHO'S AFRAID OF THE BIG BLACK BEAR? The Legion's latest attempt to induce the sporting public to go for wrestling shows is to be staged on Thursday, November 23, when Matchmaker Frank Hall plans to I exhibit everything but the kitchen sink in an effort to draw a full house. The headline of the evening will be Andy, the wrestling bear, who is to meet his owner, Mervin Barackman. Herb Parks, hailed as Canadian champion in New West I minster middleweight circles, goes for Wildcat Johnson in the main event. Johnson has evidently de i veloped a great love for Chilliwack, because he has bobbed up quite i faithfully on every card all season. A couple of local bouts are being lined up also.

Co starring with the Parks Johnson struggle will be Mervin Barackman's bout with his trained bear, Andy. I SPORT SHOTS I Last week we were sitting in the Legion hall watching the old reliable Wildcat Johnson tear the gentle Billy Owens limb from limb, when Mr.

Frank Hall espied us and came over. From his conversation, it was easily judged that Mr. Hall was worried. The Chilliwack variety of cash customer has not been attending the Legion cards any too regularly, and as matchmaker Mr. Hall feels somewhat "rebarrassed" as a result.

The girlish grunters drew quite well, but the other two shows have not. Mr. Hall admits that the promoting interests cannot continue to absorb socks on the financial chin and keep right on coming back for more. So, as a last resort, Mr. Hall is going to expose to Chilliwack's gaze what he fervently informs us is the marvel of the mat game, a first class wrestling bear who goes by the name of Andy.

Andy is a real squirmer, according to reports. He has been trained in the gymnasium, and knows his holds well. It is seldom that he becomes angry, but he is always muzzled to prevent trouble. On one occasion the famous Doc Sarpolis was working on him in Seattle, and resorted to a few rabbit punches to subdue Bruin. The bear calmly proceeded to toss the panting Sarpolis out of the ring.

It is understood that Mervin Barackman, Kansas City grunter, is to be thrown in as a votive offering to the bearish pleasure. May be it will be fun, but if you get a well buttered wrestler or a playful bear in your lap, don't say we didn't warn you. North Shore's proposed football visit to Chilliwack has not materialized, but it is to be hoped that the league can arrange other exhibitions with outside teams in the near future. If the visitors are selected with an eye to providing good competition, such contests are a big boost to the game. The same thing applies to basketball.

Sardis folk enjoyed watching the Daily Province team in action, but they were a bit too good for the homebrews, and it is hardly fun watching your own boys take a trimming in such wholesale fashion. There are plenty of good senior teams in Vancouver who would be glad of a trip up, however, and who would provide excellent competition for local squads. B. C. Telephones, last year's senior finalists, Varsity, Normal Grads, or First Church Excelsiors would all give Fraser Valley teams just enough of a battle to make the games interesting.

Let's have some of them up. A little publicity goes a long way. Last week we told you what a crack shot Bert Nelmes was. After reading about himself in the paper, Bert took to the fields again and shot at six pheasants. He missed five of them, and the other one got away anyhow.

He says he'll take to shooting reporters next thing. The statesman who wants to inflate the currency just a little bit and then stop, reminds us of the fellow who used to go over to the corner saloon for just one drink and then didn't get home for three days.

Rub ncnoiu you'll aod mm get relief I United Capture Football Tilt 1 United continued their winning ways in the football parade when they took Saturday's special holiday fixture from C.A.A.A. by one lone goal to nil, in the only game played in Chilliwack this week. Athletics put up a good battle, but were fortunate to get by with only one goal scored against them. "Crab" Ballam, elongated net minder of the three A brigade, turned in a first class performance between the posts and was largely responsible for keeping the United score down to one marker. The winners hit the upright on a couple of occasions, however.

McGee, outside right, got their only goal when he came in on a centre from left wing and crashed a beautiful rising drive past Ballam into the net. Newby, in goal for the winners, turned in a nice game, while Brown at centre was a hard worker. The entire United squad played good ball, with Scott at inside left being particularly outstanding. Sumas and Landing drew 3 3 in a game played at Sumas on Wednesday, the two teams being about as evenly matched as the score would indicate. Olympics, High School, and Coqualeetza, the three leading squads, were all idle throughout the week.

R. G. Sutton Goes To Toronto With Judging Teams R. G. Sutton, district agricul turist for Fraser Valley, leaves today to attend the Royal Winter Fair at Toronto, accompanying three' livestock judging juvenile teams from British Columbia.

These juvenile judging teams have qualified for the trip by beat ing other teams and are expected to acquit themselves well. Last year at Toronto the B. C. poultry judging team carried off premier honors. They were trained by District Agriculturist G.

L. Landon at Grand Forks. It is timely to re member that in the interior of B. C. the whole poultry industry has been revolutionized since the inception of boys' and girls' poultry clubs.

The not too good poultry of former years have been replaced within very recent times indeed by strains of prolific, hardy nrnfitokls milt luhinVi nmn oro the main source of farm and ranch income throughout wide areas of the interior of this province. The same result is being sought in the Peace River block where for the first time boys' and girls' poultry clubs were started last year. The teams making the trip to Toronto are: Poultry, Georgina Frances Game and Jessie Chamberlain, Armstrong, two well known experts; swine, Stewart McLaren, Clifford Freeman, Fraser Valley: dairy cattle, Joseph O. Bulman and Thomas P. Wilson, Kamloops.

Holstein Breeders Distribute $212 In Prizes to Juniors There were some happy young Holstein breeders in the Fraser Valley last week end, members of the Surrey and Langley Calf and Yearling Clubs and the Ladner Calf Club. Cheques were distributed by the B. C. Holstein Association to the boy and girl members of these clubs totalling $212. The winners in these clubs are as follows: Ladner Calf Club Name Standing Frank Saint 1 Tom Klinkhammer 2 Mary Charlton 3 Francis Charlton 4 Harold Pybus 5 Frank Smith 6 Langley Calf Name Club John Harrower 1 Ross McLeod 2 Wm.

The B. C. Holstein Breeders have done some very creditable work among breeders in the province this year. It will be recalled that twelve calves were donated by the Fraser Valley breeders to breeders In Central B.

C. at Quick, Walcott, Telkwa and Smithers. The reports from this club are very encouraging. Special prizes were also donated to the Chilliwack Exhibition in the progeny class, of the Holstein breed. These prizes were mostly won by Langley regional exhibitors.

Fletcher of the Shell Oil Company was instantly killed late Saturday afternoon. A passenger, Claude C. Van Fleet, assistant to the district manager of the Shell Company, escaped with minor injuries. Fletcher flew for six hours in his 200 mile an hour machine trying to find a "hole" in the fog which covered Seattle and eastern Washington.

When his fuel supply ran low he attempted a forced landing near Pasco. The machine was wrecked in the rough terrain.
