AGASSIZ Agussiz I. literals Meet The Agassiz Liberal Association held a meeting at O'Connor Lodge September 17 and, considering the busy time of the year, there was a large attendance, many old timers being present. Several important matters were discussed, also the future policy of the association. This association not being affiliated with the Dewdney district association, the members declared in plain language that they would not unite or affiliate with the Conservative party of the district.

A unanimous vote of confidence with hearty applause was accorded the president and vice president of the association for the good work they had done. Owing to other business occupying his time, Hugh Lamont tendered his resignation as secretary, with the understanding that he is still a member of the association. H. H. Naismith was appointed his successor.

A suggestion from Mr. Handy, president of the Dewdney District Association, that he organize portions of the district, was not accepted. Brownie Kevue Two hundred people attended the Brownie in Memorial hall Friday evening. Under the capable direction of Mrs. Barrington Foote the children acquitted themselves surprisingly well.

Assisting with the program were Mrs. Foote's calisthenic class of twelve older girls, and Mr. R. Barrington Foote. The program opened I with "The Woman in The Shoe," with Doris Martin as soloist and every one of 24 Brownies taking part.

I Mr. Barrington Foote was given a rousing reception for his solo, "When Richard the First Sat on I the Throne." Other soloists were two Brownies, Joan Harri3 singing "The Sandman," and Norma Herman who pleased with "The Lilac i Tree." Other Brownies appeared in a i delightful white rabbit dance in the midst of which two lovely roses (Sheila Foote and Marjory Hicks) came to life and danced for the bunnies. Applause for the performance of four teddy bears was 1 dtafening. A parasol drill was smartly done by eight little girls, and a Japanese dance was another gracefully per formed item. "Reuben and Rachel" (Alice and Marjory Hubbard I with assisting chorus of Quakeresses was also well received.

A "Court Minuet" was gracefully danced by twelve young ladies in court costumes. Two other items by the older girls were "The Dutch Mill" and a nigger dance. Soloist in the former was Miss Francetta Inkman as a Dutch boy, her supporting chorus being dressed as Dutch girls. Miss Doris Martin took the solo part in "Sleepy Head." A splendid ending to an enjoyable program was the song, "Buy Canadian" the entire Brownie pack joining in this. Before the singing of Canada and the national anthem, Miss E.

Agasi iiz Brown Owl spoke in appreciation of all who had assisted in making the evening such a success, after which a bouquet and a gift were presented to Mrs. Barrington Foote by two small Brownies, in appreciation of her services on their behalf. A presentation was also made to Mrs. Probert, accompanist for the revue. NOT CLOSING COLLEGE Columbian College is not to be closed.

Charles W. Gordon, Winnipeg author, who writes under the name of Ralph Connor. One group cannot solve the country's problems, he told a service club in an address. Canada should have a government, not for the benefit of the party, but the country, he declared. It was the country that counted, not the governing body.

"Forget Liberalism, Conservatism or Socialism," Rev. Mr. Gordon said. "Don't be so foolish as to think one group alone can solve the problem. There should be a national government." Pit.

KI'PEKT'S HEFl'NDING SCHEME GAINS APPROVAL The manner in which responses are coming in from bondholders in all parts of the country, accepting the city of Prince Rupert's proposal to reduce interest on outstanding debentures to 4 per cent and to refund debentures for 20 years, practically assures the success of the plan. City Commissioner W. J. Alder states. Ottawa Only Hope, A.

Wells Gray Tells Good Uoads League Creation of a non political highway commission, opposition to the proposed toll bridge over the Fraser river, endorsement ot a new scheme for financing road construction, blanket demand for hard surfaced roads as an economy measure, and specific recommendations for road construction in various parts of the province are the subjects of some of the resolutions passed at the eighteenth convention of the Good Roads League of B. C. at Kamloops. Hon. A.

Wells Gray, opening the convention, threw a bombshell among the 75 delegates when he said that "the 7 cent gasoline tax has been expended for the next twenty years or more, and no other money is available for road construction." The provincial government, the minister intimated, can do nothing. "It all depends on what we get from the federal government in Ottawa next month," he said. When a delegate alleged that the government had broken faith with motorists in not applying money received from the gasoline tax for construction of new roads, Mr. Gray said revenue derived from the tax is applied to sinking funds to retire bonds outstanding for roads already in use. He added that annual maintenance cost of $2,000, 000, plus sinking fund and interest charges of $2,225,000, were not met by income from motor licenses and gasoline taxes.

"It is beyond our resources to build any high cost hard surfaced roads," he asserted. A plan for financing construction was presented by Capt. H. P. Coombes, Vernon, in reply to Hon.

Mr. Gray. He suggested paying contractors with short term provincial bonds, bearing a low rate of interest and issued with a guarantee that the money would be used for road building. He declared that the bonds would be readily sold and was confident contractors would accept them in payment. He also recommended using relief labor in construction.

The scheme was endorsed by the league and will be forwarded to Victoria. Extent and Effect Of 1934 Drought A review of the drought conditions of 1934, issued under date of August 15, 1934, by the Bureau of Agricultural Economics, United States Department of Agriculture, Washington, affords an appreciable picture of the situation in various countries, particularly in the United States, arising from the unusual scarcity of rainfall which has characterized the summer of this year. The drought has been widespread throughout the northern hemisphere. The affected areas fall within a belt crossing Europe, Asia and North America which is about as wide as the distance from Northern Mexico to Central Manitoba. Damage to crops has been particularly heavy in the United States, Canada and in Central and Eastern Europe.

In the southern hemisphere, parts of Australia and Argentina have been affected but to a less extent. In the United States the main drought damage is in the shortage of feed, forage and pasture, necessitating heavy reduction in livestock numbers and reduced rations for the remaining animals. Crop prospects declined nearly 11 per cent during July because of uiv favorable growing conditions practically everywhere except along the Atlantic coast, in the eastern cotton belt and in the Pacific north west. The most serious loss was a i decline of about 24 per cent, or 500.000,000 bushels, in corn prospects during this period and even the production of corn fodder was seriously reduced. The grain sorghum production will be less than GO per cent of average.

The continued drought and excessive temperature prevailing over a wide area largely destroyed the emergency forage crops planted, burned pastures, prevented any second growth on hay meadows and stubble fields in many states and further reduced supplies of water for livestock. The worst conditions embrace much of Missouri, Arkansas, nearly all of the Dakotas, Nebraska, Kansas, and Oklahoma, much of Texas and the plains sections of New Mexico, Colorado and Wyoming. There was a further deterioration of range conditions during July in most of the western states for which range conditions figures are obtained. SHORT WEIGHTS The fact that a lot of publicity has been given to the conviction and fining of a number of chain store companies antl individuals operating group stores in the Ottawa territory is not going to help them in the eyes of the public or those who are backing the Price Spreads and Mass Buying Enquiry. Everyone who operates a grocery store knows how difficult it is always to hand out 16 ounces to the pound.

A lot depends on the carefulness with which the staff puts up merchandise and considerable also on the shrinkage. There are some who make sure of the correct weights by checking all parcels put up and weighed for more than a week. There may be a legitimate excuse for short weights as long as there are corresponding overweights given, although this may not always satisfy the magistrate trying the case. In the eyes of some the law is the law and noth ing can be done about it. But there can be no excuse for any retailer chain or individual consistently passing out to the public parcels of goods that are underweight.

l'OKI) "SMILING" SF.KVICK Drastic Economic Remedies Dangerous Says W. G. Murrin Various theories continue to be advanced as to, first, what the world is suffering from and second, how the sickness may be cured. Outside the realm of the specialized remedies that have been advanced, many of them being of a very drastic nature, it is a well known fact that time is a great healer, ami its healing properties apply to sick nations as well as to sick individuals. Almost unnoticed, an improvement has been taking place and a still further recovery will follow if we give time a chance.

The doctors know that they have to be careful of a convalescent patient and that there is a limit to the number of operations which can be performed in safety without endangering his life. In some countries the patient will need to be of a very sturdy constitution in order to be able to survive some of the drastic remedies which are being applied for his good. After all, it is obvious that the cure for unemployment is employ ment and to be permanent it must be natural employment, that is to i say, employment rendered neces 1 sary by the business which is being done and paid for out of the re 1 ceipts for this business and it would appear the sane policy of any government that its efforts I should be directed in the main toward this end. There is no room for narrow antagonisms which would regard development; and while I think it i is the purpose of the government to assure itself that business is conducted in a fair and orderly way toward everybody concerned, it is evident that the best results can be obtained when the government works with and through the established agencies which are capable of employing labor with a view to a maximum development of legitimate business. Expansion of business is a remedy for much that we are at present suffering from and this fact, which is often lost sight of when we are thinking in terms of other and smaller issues, should be carefully safeguarded ns a constant objective.

B. C. Electric Employees' Magazine. MINIM I'M AGE ORDERED FOR H. C.

BUILDING TRADES A basic minimum wage of 45 cents an hour in the cities and larger municipalities, and 40 cents an hour in other areas was fixed by the Board of Industrial Relations at Victoria last week to apply to the construction inldustry of the province. The order was made after a protracted study this week of the industry. Adam Bell, chairman, stated the investigations had shown an unsatisfactory condition existed, both employers and employees agreeing that it required ratification. It was pointed out, he said, that in many cases skilled craftsmen were receiving less than the customary wage for unskilled labor. In maktng the order the board fixed a minimum which was in tended to have the effect of stabilizing the industry.

RELIEF LIST REDUCED TO 29,000 NAMES Dropping steadily since March, British Columbia relief registrations included 29,000 persons today, the lowest of any total In the last two years. This is a reduction of from 51,000 unemployed registered for relief in March last. CIIIRCI1ES OF CHRIST, SCIENTIST "Unreality" was the subject of the Lesson Sermon which was read in all Churches of Christ, Scientist, on Sunday, October 7. The Golden Text was: "All that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doelh the will of God abideth for ever" (1 John 2: 16, 17). Among the citations which comprised the Lesson Sermon was the following from the Bible: "Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity" (Eccl. 1: 2). The Lesson Sermon also included the following passage from the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy: "Mortals must look beyond fading, finite forms, if they would gain the true sense of things" (p. 204).
