Six Hundred Signatures To Petition For Skating At Cultus Lake Over GOO signatures appeared on a petition presented to Cultus Lake Park Board Monday night, requesting operation of the new roller skating rink at the lake resort for a limited period on Sundays, but not later than 6 p.m. The petition was presented George Strevens who stated on be half of the signers that it was their opinion that the benefits of outdoor exercise provided by roller skating was a clean and healthful way to spend Sunday afternoon. It was step in the right direction, he said. If, however, opening the rink on Sunday was contrary to law, or if in the judgment of the park board, it was not desirable, the petitioners would accept the decision without resentment.

Mr. Strevens made it clear that he was not acting for the parties holding the roller rink concession. The petition was signed by many prominent in church and business circles, as well as scores of young people. Anticipating presentation of the request for Sunday operation of the roller rink, the Ministerial association and the Men's federation wrote protesting against the proposal, as contrary to the purpose of the Sab bath and to the law of the province. In view of the fact that the agreement between the operators of the rink and the board makes no provision for Sunday operation, and no application or intimation having been received from the concession naires for Sunday operation, the petition was received and filed.

In discussing the motion it developed that the park board solicitor's advice on the legal aspect of the request was that operation was contrary to the Lord's Day Act; also that a majority of opinion on the board, apart from the legal aspect, questioned the wisdom of Sunday operation, all circumstances considered. Prairie Berry Prices SI Slump This Morning Crates Fall To $1 And Growers Advised To Pick For Jam; First Shipment For England This morning it was reported that prairie retailers are selling raspberries at $1.00 a crate. Prices have been ranging around a $1.50 level, enabling growers to show a slight profit, but the change in price means a definite loss to local berrymen, who would be well advised to jam all berries until there is a price recovery on the prairie market. Berry picking is fast reaching a peak here, although weekend rains assisted to prolong the life of the present crop movement. As at the start of last week when Pacific Co Operative Union officials reported that jam berries were pouring into their ware houses, the same officials stated yesterday that records for a single day's take of jam berries were approached Monday when approxl mately 1400 crates of jam berries were turned into 30 barrels of the SO 2 treated product.

While the greatest proportion of the berries went into jam, 328 crates of the Monday night pick up received shipping quality status, One grower contributed 73 crates to this group. First Shipment Made Up to date the Co Op. has bar elled and processed 176 barrels of berries. Fifty six of these were recently shipped to England by railroad from this city. Each barrel contains approximately 400 pounds of fruit.

An official inspector recently tested several of the barrels and stated that the pack was among the finest he had seen this year. Considering that this is the first time berries have been processed here, local officers feci highly com' plimented. Peak of the shipping crop so far was registered Wednesday night, when 353 crates were received in a single day. Shipping berries are sent to a Matsqui pre cooling plant for treatment. Shipment is made via "blower" cars, in which wind from vents in the bottom of the cars is driven through the berries to keep them cool.

The pre cooling process takes approximately 24 hours. The fruit is then bundled off to the prairie market. Better Prices as Jam Fruit men state that Lloyd George and Herbert varieties are bringing better prices when sent to jam than as shipping berries. Pacific Co Op. is the largest of the multitude of fruit buying con cerns and individuals which either move into or are permanently located in the city.

Sunday FIVE YOUNG CANUCKS ARRIVE AT LOCAL HOSPITAL An influx of young Canadian citizens during the past twenty four hours created some sort of record locally when at Chilliwack hospital five brand new Canucks were introduced to their native land. Two boys and three girls arrived, giving Mr. Stork his first overtime work in some time. It is understood the boys are outnumbered by the girls numerically only, and that in vocal ability equal talent is shown. Alibi Fails In Court Two Men Sentenced To Three Months Each For Theft of Shoes Andrew Sorensen and William Manuel, transients, were charged with the theft of a pair of shoes from a local store Saturday night following the apprehension of the two men and the stolen goods by Constables Bennett and Pattenden.

The men, it is alleged, entered the store where several persons were waiting to be served and departed before they had been waited on. The proprietor, remembering that the men were the only two who entered the store whom he did not know, sent a call to police. Manuel, when apprehended, was in possession of a liquor license made out to Davis, a birth certificate made out to Flynn and a second birth certificate in favor of Manuel. The two men were sentenced to three months each in Oakalla, although Sorensen maintained that he had bought the shoes from an Indian, and that Manuel had nothing to do with the purchase. Magistrate P.

H. Wilson was inclined to disbelieve his story, as it was proven that the men had been together throughout the day. It's A Dog's Life Although the canine population of the city may not realize it, they play a small but essential part in balancing the corporation's $70, 000 budget each year. Two hundred and two dogs are wandering around the city with city licenses jingling from their collars. Their owners have paid to date $345 for the licenses, believed to be the highest revenue from this source since the council first applied this means of securing funds.

Rural Schools Go Modern Little Red Schoolhouse Having Its Face Lifted; New Wrinkles For Old Photo electric cells to turn on the lights in a rural elementary school mahogany trim in the lib rary rigidaires and electric wash ing machines in the domestic sci ence section these are some of the developments noted in a new, W. A. built school in Acme, What com County, by a group of local school officials Monday. The new photo electric cell idea provides for a constant amount of light in a classroom. As soon as natural light begins to fail, the lights automatically switch on, and even a parsimonious teacher, at' tempting to curb expenses by saV' ing on the light bill, can't do very much about it.

The domestic science classroom is lined with a cork insulator, so that the rattle of dishes and noise of machines cannot be heard else where in the school. The gymnasium has a maple floor. Blackboard trim is of edge grain fir. Electric fans keep children's lunches cool and fresh. These odds and ends were part of the information secured by Clark Brannick, high school area board chairman, Sam Pugh and William Standeven, when they inspected Acme's new $98,000 school structure.

These are the wrinkles being provided for small rural schools by the State of Washington depart' ment of education. Additional Water Supply For Lake Resort Requested E. G. Marriott, district engineer for the provincial water rights board, is meeting members of Cultus Lake Park Board at the lake resort today, in connection with an application made by the Board for additional water for domestic pur poses at the lake. The exceptional length and early arrival of the summer season has caused a shrinking of supply being received in the park reservoir.

A survey of possible sources of supply on the upper reaches of Vedder mountain led to the discovery of an additional stream which might be diverted to the source now coursing toward the Park Board intake. The water board is asked to give consent to the diversion of a pro portion of this supply for the use of residents and visitors to the Park. Local Police Return From Capital City With the concentration of unem ployed demonstrators in Victoria this week, provincial police headquarters ordered large additions to its capital ity force. Constable Brunton, Constable Phipps and Corporal Hall of the local detachment made the trip and returned Monday night after it appeared that concession of an employment work program had placated the men, and that distur bances would be unlikely. Constable Pattenden took Constable Brunton's position in the municipality, while Constable Bennett, Vancouver, has been relieving at the city Hon.

Finds Oil Stocks Valued At $4000 In City Park City Man Finds Valuable Certificates On Way To Work; Hotelman Robbed While Asleep Discovery of oil stock certificates valued at $4000 was made in the city's recreation park, Wellington avenue and College street, Monday morning by a local man on his way to work. The stock, contained in a suit case along with personal posses sions, was stolen from a local auction barn Saturday night.

The crime was reported by John Bendig, Cheam View, who later discovered two men in possession of the case at the C.N.R. station. He started out after the men, who broke into a run when they were approached. Bendig brought down one of the fleeing figures and turned him over to the police. Tne second man got away.

The owner of the suitcase, John Kiernan, was forced to leave for Alberta on the C.N.R. train while the search for the robbers was going on. It is believed that his peisonal possessions were intact. They were turned over to police, along with the stock. Police believe that the criminal who escaped regarded the stock as worthless and tossed it where the city merchant picked it up Monday.

Norman Mousseau, the man who was apprehended, was accused and convicted of vagrancy and allowed suspended sentence. Takes Trousers John Vasseur, manager of Empress hotel, received an unpleasant surprise at 3:30 a.m. Friday when he woke up to find a negro on his hands and knees beside the bed. The negro escaped with the hotel operator's pants, underwear and some petty cash, eighty cents of which was discovered on the sidewalk by the hotel. New Westminster police arrested a suspicious character Monday morning but released him from custody later in the day, when he was able to establish an alibi proving his innocence of the local crime.

A negro was apprehended at Hope yesterday in possession of a pair of pants resembling those of Mr. Vasseur, and was taken into custody. Subsequent investigation proved that the trousers did not belong to the local man, so that police are still seeking recovery of the stolen articles. Thursday night or Friday morning the Valley Laundry premises were burglarized and a quantity of blankets taken. Shirts, sheets and blankets belonging to the Valley Laundry were restored to their owners yesterday Local Lacrosse Squad Holds Crack Inter City Aggregation To 9 8 Score Richmond 9, Mustangs 8 They had to hang the sold right out sign on Fogg Field last night.

Twelve hundred people, the largest crowd ever to see a local lacrosse team in action, turned the park into a bedlam of noise as Mustangs battled goal for goal with a star strewn Inter City league squad, Richmond Farmers, until the final minutes of the closing quarter when the visitors drifted in for tying and winning goals. The entire local team, meeting its first stiff opposition in weeks, played the great game it is capable of. They hit hard and backchecked better than at any time this season; their running attack returned to the form and speed and cleverness of a month ago. The Mustangs snapped out of the slump that has killed their pace during the past few games and played the game of their lives. Behind the inspired performance of Mustangs was Bud Hatch, who also marked a return to form with phenomenal saves in every period.

He stopped half a dozen efforts that had goal labelled on them in large letters. Mustangs were behind 3 4 at the quarter and were ahead 6 4 at the half. Richmond got the only goals scored in the third period, and tied it up at 6 6. With Mustangs ahead 8 7 and nine minutes to go, Coach Eddie Gilmour walked in and bagged an unearned goal. Leather boro picked off the winning counter when he grabbed a loose ball just outside the goal crease and with Harry Berry blocking Hatch's view of the proceedings, slapped it in.

So tough did the going get that a few of the visiting prima donnas, not taken with the idea of being beaten by an intermediate team, started to really feed out the trips and cross checks. Three of them left the field in quick succession in the last half of the final quarter. Their walk to the bench was ac 'Continued on Page Five) District May Be Heading For $400,000 Building Program This Year Although there has been a definite lag in city building during the first six months of the year, local observers believe that the district is heading toward one of the biggest building programs in the district's history, a program that may soar over the $400,000 mark. SHOOT RARE WHITE CROW ON LOCAL FARM TO DAY A white crow no fooling. That is what Mack Thompson and his brother Don brought down this morning on the farm of Mrs.

Mabel Thompson, more noted for its purebred Jerseys than for its bird life. A white crow is a rarity here, according to nature lovers. It is sometimes seen, but this is the first case in which one has been caught and reported in several years. The bird was snow white from the neck down. The head was a dirty gray.

A companion is also flying around the Thompson farm these days. Both birds have the characteristic "caw caw" of the crow. Militia In Victoria Company Holds Annual Machine Gun Camp This Week The crackle of machine gun fire lias supplanted the boom of coast defense artillery in the environs of Victoria this week. Manning the machine guns are twenty all ranks of Company, Westminster Regiment, which is now a machine gun unit. The men left Sunday for Heal's Range, Victoria, under command of Captain Pirie, O.

station. George Thornton In Dangerous Accident George I. Thornton, 78 year old Sardis pioneer, narrowly escaped death Sunday noon when the car in which he was a passenger plunged off the Lougheed highway near Hatzic and settled down in a water filled ditch. Mr. Thornton, who was returning from the Coast when the accident occured, was pinned in the car.

Four men extricated him. He suffered a cracked rib and injuries to his neck. Sit Downers Accept New Relief Plan The jobless sit downers accepted the British Columbia government's plan for settlement of their strike at a meeting in Victoria Friday night. In brief, the federal government offers direct relief to Prairie men until August 15, if they agree to go home to the Prairies by that time, to seek harvest work. To British Columbians, the provincial government offers temporary road work in three day shifts at $3.20 a day, while the men are going about the country looking for jobs.

Neither government offers work and wages along the lines demanded by the strikers. The settlement relieved the tension that has been felt at Victoria with 700 jobless as non paying guests. Surrey council will sell 50,000 yards of gravel to the provincial government at seven cents a yard. Slated for the municipality is building estimated at $250,000, slightly above the yearly average. For the city, which so far has fallen below last year's figures, the announcement that the Barber block will be reconstructed may set off a $50,000 commercial building expansion.

Construction of the new $58,000 junior high school will begin in September, it is expected. In addition, a group of five houses will be constructed shortly under provisions of the Dominion Housing act, local authorities hope. May Loosen Regulations When and if loan companies loosen present restrictions on loans to a certain extent some portion of the fifteen additional home builders who stated that they were interested in the plan may build. This loosening process is expected to occur shortly, as the Dominion government is awarding additional securities to loan companies wishing to extend credit to home builders. Builders and supply houses indicated yesterday that construction started early in the year, has maintained a good clip since January.

Business has been steadier than last year, and contractors have been favored with exceptionally good weather. Municipal construction has been holding up well. Barns and farmhouses are going up rapidly in all districts. Homes in City City construction has been confined to home building. Approximately 90 per cent of the 39 permits issued to date are for houses.

The hum of the saw and the pounding of hammers is audible in any section of the city. While the number of permits issued is higher than last year, the total value is down approximately $16,000. Last year's total for the first six months was $58,050, as compared with this year's, $41,475. The trend to greater steadiness in construction work as reported in the country is borne out by city figures. Application was made for only one permit in January and February 1937, while this year four permits were issued in January and three in February.

Peak months to date have been March and April when nine permits were issued in each compared with peak month of 1937, March, when thirteen permits were issued. Public Works The drop in values credited to the lack of construction in the business section. It is definitely known, however, that two interests, in addition to the Barber group, are contemplating construction of new business premises. Construction of the Hospital auxiliary's new $1159 dining hall at the Fair grounds is well under way. The city has recently com pleted sidewalk building costing $4110.

Installation of the new drainage pump on the Semiault cost the municipality in the neigh borhood of $11,000, so that both corporate bodies are contributing a share in the general construction program.

The board has a supply of fire hose on reels on each side of the lake, together with nozzles and other necessities, using the domestic gravity water system installed throughout the park area some years ago. With the rapid increase in the number of cottages, their light frame construction and their proximity to one another, board members feel that additional protection from fire should be installed, provided something adequate and yet within the financial means of the board, can be procured. The outfit being considered would consist of a gas powered pump Open Season For Campers And Complaints Park Board Accepts Wild Life But To Pipe Down On Night Life; Too Much Music In Ozone There will be no summer fores try camp at Cultus Lake this year, but should, the province be re quested to operate winter camps Dy me teueral government on a similar basis as last winter, it is probable that such a camp will again be established at Cultus Lake, according to a letter received from Hon.
