14 WALLINGTON Many friends in Chilliwack re gret to learn of the death in Vancouver on Thursday evening of Sergeant Major William Walling ford, M.M., aged 45, at his home 744 Gifford street. Prior to mov ing to Vancouver, Mr. Wallington was for some years a resident of this city, where he was frequently heard on musical programs, and where he took a lively interest in all matters pertaining to returned men. His splendid war record, which is not generally known, is as fol lows: He enlisted in the 2nd East Lan cashire Regiment on November 5, 1902, when 14 years of age. During the following 17 years he was proud to serve his King and coun try in France, Mesopotamia, Egypt, South Africa, India and Afghanistan.

In May, 1917, he received his commission as an officer of the East Lancashire Regiment and at the date of his death he was still in the Regular Army Reserve of Officers. He was trained as an air pilot and was attached to the Royal Air Force in Egypt, during 1918 and 1919. He was mentioned in despatches in 1915 by Sir John French and again in 1916 by Sir Douglas Haig. He was awarded the Military Medal in 1916 and was also entitled to wear the Mons Star and bar, the British War Medal the Allied Victory Medal with oak leaf and the Afghanistan Medal and bar. THE CIIILLIWACK PROGRESS Page Five He was trained at the Royal Military School of Music, Kneller Hall.

As a singer he won the gold medal several times at the B. Musical Festival, and often gave much pleasure to radio audiences over station CKMO. Comrades of 'The Old Contemptibles" and "The Canadian Corps of Commissionaires" may best remember him in the words of his favorite song, 'The Deathless Army." He joined the Canadian Corps of Commissionaires in April, 1928, and three months ago, when overcome by the fell disease tuberculosis, he was one of the keenest members of the Corps' general purpose ad visory committee. He had been employed for some years at the Vancouver City Relief Department where he will for a long time be remembered, by officials and applicants for relief alike, for the kind and sympathetic manner in which he carried out his duties as a commissionaire. He was the son of George Edgar Wallington and he is survived by his mother, who lives in England; his widow and daughter, Kathleen, who live at 744 Gilford street, Vancouver; by his brothers, Thomas (who lives in Vancouver), Harry and Leonard, and by five sisters.

MoINTYRE A well known resident of Upper Sumas, Archibald Mclntyre, passed away on Friday, January 5, after a lengthy illness. The late Mr. Mclntyre was 51 years of age, and the eldest son of Mrs. John Fraser of this city. He was a native of Avenmore, Ontario.

LEEK AGAIN" CHOSEN HEAD OF FAIR BOARD Mr. Walter Leek was re elected president of the Vancouver Exhibition Association for the eighth successive year by the directors. Preliminary reports of the operations of the association for 1933 show the institution to be in a flourishing condition, and plans for extensive development are being given WANT FREER SALE OF WINE AND BEER Delegations representing opposing factions have been interviewing authorities at Victoria on the question of the sale of beer and wine with meals in restaurants and hotels. Sponsors claim that unless this is done the tourist business of British Columbia will be reduced.

Hotelmen with beer parlors and no dining rooms oppose. While there is no obligation to submit the question to the electors, word comes out from Victoria that before a freer sale of wine and beer is allowed a plebiscite sljould be taken. CARROTHERS TO HEAD ECONOMIC COUNCIL Professor W. A.

He will go to Victoria as soon as leave of absence is granted by the university authorities. Dr. Carrothers is an authority on problems connected with money and banking, and served the province during the late government's regime as a member of the Ford ham Relief Commission. Prior to coming to U.B.C. he was a faculty member it the University of Saskatchewan, having been trained at Edinburgh, University.

During the war he served with the Royal Air Force, and was decorated by the governments of both Great Britain and Fi ance. To Scrap Land Settlement Board, Says Wells' Gray Failing to function as it should or to meet the present situation, the British Columbia Land Settlement Board is to be scrapped, according to announcement made by Hon. A. Wells Gray, minister of lands, in an address to District Farmers' Institute in New Westminster Friday. He favored the pre emption plan of settlement, and asserted the biggest problem today was to keep the man now on the land, on the land.

He said that means must be found to relieve the farmer of some of the present tax burden. Demands of the people for municipal and provincial expenditure, made without realizing they would have to pay the bill, was to a large extent responsible for the present situation, he claimed. Touching on the subject of mar keting legislation, Hon. Mr. Gray said that the meeting of premiers at Ottawa would request enabling legislation from the Dominion to permit the legislature to pass such legislation.

He also stated that the provin cial government would provide a public utilities board, but not this year. Health insurance will also be dealt with next year. The government is going into the proposition of a bridge across the Fraser above the present one at New Westminster, according to Mr Gray, and is including in its esti mates amounts to cover improvements and strengthen the present bridge, and change the north ap proach to remove the traffic hazard.

ONE INCOME TAX FOR B.C. PROPOSED One income tax only for British Columbia will be the goal of Hon. John Hart, minister of finance, when he goes to Ottawa. Mr. Hart will ask the federal government to retire from the income tax field entirely, on the ground that the federal levy was instituted as wartime emergency measure and its continuance is unfair to provincial governments.

Failing that, Mr. Hart proposes a single machinery for collecting income tax in this province, the proceeds to be distributed, as agreed, between Ottawa and Victoria. PEACE FLAG PLANNED A scheme for the furtherance of world peace has been advanced by a Toronto author, W. K. Dyer.

The proposal, still in the early stages, is to develop a flag with the word "peace" emblazoned in deep blue letters on a white oval, representing the universe, and placed on a sky blue background. The finished product would be known as the "World Peace Flag." ENVELOPE OF 1866 OF UNIQUE INTEREST A travelled envelope of interest was brought to The Progress this week by Mr. J. Pelly, who every now and again unearths some such like curiosity from his wealth of old and valued curios. This envelope, addressed to Mr.

John J. Sticker, co Postmaster Kamloops, Kamloops, co Hudson's Bay Company, P. was sent from Bath, Canada West, and postmarked the same day, June 19, 1866, from Kingston. It also bears a stamp of August 4 of the same year, from the British Columbia Central Post Office. The letter had had ten cents paid on it but evidently was still insufficiently postaged by five cents.

Mr. Sticker was at one time a resident of Sardis, meeting his death there in the time of flood water of the Vedder, near where the Hulbert place is now. 'GOOD YEAR" REPORTED BY KELLOGG FIRM On a radio telephone hookup from St. Petersburg, Florida, W. K.

Kellogg, president of the Kellogg Company, extended New Year greetings to members of the Kellogg sales organization at home and abroad, at the same time reviewing conditions throughout the past year and outlining plans for the future. The founder and president of the world's largest manufacturers of ready to eat cereals stated that 1933 had proved an extraordinary good year for the company and that he expected conditions to improve. "The Kellogg Company," Mr. Kellogg stated, "are employing more people, spending more money and working harder for business than at any other period in our history." Touching on plans for 1934, Mr. Kellogg said that the company's promotional budget for the year ahead was larger than ever before and that the newspaper advertising alone would reach a new high mark in both scope and intensity.

WINDOW DISPLAY CALLS I ATTENTION TO LIBRARY I AND ITS ACTIVITIES An attractive window display calling attention to the many services of the Fraser Valley Library has been arranged in one of the windows of David Spencer departmental store, and is attracting widespread interest in the city. The background shows pictures of pioneer days, with photographs of the library van and groups of rural borrowers also shown.

One of the most striking pictures shows the van making its deliveries during midwinter with snow very much in evidence. Selected groups of books, listed under subjects, are shown in the foreground, one group for poultry men being headed by a picture of Derreen, M. H. Ruttledge's world record pullet. A detailed map of the Valley, showing the library van routes, is also included in the display.

CONFESSION Here is a purported confession of a West Tennesse man, which, no matter how one may look at the present times, is a masterpiece. "There seems to be so much talk about our so called prosperity I believe 'tis my duty to write my views on same and help to analyse the situation as far as possible so's we can make up our minds that we had auto change our ways of living and so forth. "I have taken my own case for instance. I see my mistakes and many others have acted likewise. I bought a car instead of a farm instead of a cow, and the radio gives static instead of milk.

"I am feeding five hounds which answer to the names of Red, Redwing, Slobber, Jake and Bayrum, instead of five pigs. I had our piano tuned instead of the well cleaned out. I spent all my cash in 1928 and used my credit in 1929 and traded up my future wages on instalments in 1930, so hard times caught me in bad shape last fall. If I had spent my last $10 for meat instead of gas and oil, I would have been O.K. I built a nice garage last fall instead of covering the barn, and I loafed in a mountain two weeks instead of being in my pasture fixing it so's my cow couldn't get out, but she is dry and mortgaged to boot for two blankets my wife bought from an agent instead of paying the minister.

I am on a cash basis now, but I ain't got no cash. I'm tied to the end of my rope and the man I am working for is busted on account of nobody won't pay him and his cotton won't sell because nobody won't buy no cotton clothes, all tho gals wear silk stockings and silk THAT POSITIVE AGITATION IS GREAT!
