Ballots will be mailed to all producers Monday. They are returnable not later than November 15. As stated exclusively in the last'f" issue of The Progress, the three questions on the ballot are: Are you in favor of controlled marketing of milk? Are you in favor of marketing through one agency? Are you in favor of marketing through more than one agency? Members of the F.V.M.P.A. will be urged to mark their ballots and send them in according to a message written by W.

L. Macken, president, and contained in this month's Issue of "Butter Fat" the official journal of the organization, which will be distributed at the end of this week. F.V.M.P.A. Start Meetings Yesterday F.V.M.P.A. officials announced a series of meetings to be held in this district, in which directors of the association will address members on the plebiscite.

The first one of a series of five meetings to be held in Chilli wack and district is scheduled for the Women's Institute hall at East Chilliwack Monday night. Tuesday night a meeting will be held at Fairfield Island hall, while Wednesday night, November 2, the meeting will be at Agassiz's I.O. O.F hall. Thursday, November 3, producers of Sardis and district will meet at Sardis community hall while Rosedale farmers will meet at Rosedale hall Tuesday, November 8. According to Mr.

Macken, the new single agency will be comprised of one member to be selected by producers of the F. V. M. P. one by those not shipping to the F.V.M.P.A., and a third selected by these two groups.

In the Rvpnt thn.tr the two etouds fail to come to an agreement on a third man, the Lower Mainland Dairy Products board will select a can Three Members at First The article points out the differ pnre hetween the proposal sub mitted by Mr. Macken and Mr. Gardom in a joint memorandum and the plan which is now proposed to be put into effect. "The functions of the single agency will be to sell to distributors in the fluid market milk suitable for their requirements at a uniform price to be fixed by the milk board, and to dispose of milk not absorbed by the fluid market to manufacturers at competitive prices; to cause to be properly done the grading, weighing and testing of all milk marketed by it; to collect all monies received from the sale of this milk and to account to producers therefor. The details of operation will have to De wonted out by those elected to the agency.

The purpose of the agency is to see that all producers enjoy their proportionate share of the fluid market returns for milk eligible therefor, and to equitably apportion the lower returns received from the sale of such milk requiring to be manufactured. In other words, the single agency is to bring about equalization to all producers of milk with due regard to quality and consistency of the individual supply. "In our last issue, we referred to the necessity of two bodies, the milk board and the marketing agency. Attention has been directed by some to the extra cost thus entailed. In explanation it may be said that the B.

C. Marketing Act not give power to marketing boards to buy or sell. It gives power to such boards to regulate the buying and selling, and to designate the agency through which the buying and selling is done. True, some extra expense is thus entailed, but if the plan, as approved by the I.M.P.C.A. and ourselves, is permitted to function as we believe it should, this extra expense will not be serious and very definite advantages should result from the operation of the two bodies.

The milk board, being judicial, will always be a Court of Appeal for all parties who may have a grievance against the marketing plan. It will stand as a safeguard to the rights of all groups, producer minorities as well as majorities, distributors, manufacturers, and is of paramount importance to the industry, and consumers of the product regulated." Legion Corner hiirrh narade will be held on Sunday, November 6, to Chilliwack United church. See advertisement in next week's Pro full rintnll.q.

In this con nection we quote the following Hospital Building Committee Reports Progress of Plans The building committee of the Chilliwack Hospital board which has been working on plans for a new hospital for some time, reported progress at Thursday night's meeting to the board. Pending fur ther developments the committee had no definite announcement to make. Special committees are working on details, and it is ex pected that before long a public statement will be made.

Valley Leghorns Near World Egg Laying Record Today pLUCK, CLUCK; CLUCK, CLUCK; CLUCK, CLUCK AW. 4 Twice it happened this morning at Agassiz Dominion Experimental Farm. Each time a bunch of white Leghorn pullets nudged a step closer to a world's record.

Each time the process brought smiles to the faces of farm employees. When Claude Vroom's pen ofSj birds finished a 51 week laying contest with 3333.6 points, they smashed a Canadian record. And this week, following a decision to keep the birds on for another week so that they could have a crack at the world's record, the eyes of the poultry world were focussed on that pen of eleven owned by the Cloverdale man. Chances Are Good Monday the birds laid two eggs, Tuesday they brought it up to five for the day, and this morning they laid two more. If they can lay thirteen eggs between" now and Monday night, they will capture the world's record.

"I think they'll make it," said Superintendent Harold Hicks at noon today. "They are pretty happy, in spite of the noise we make as we clean out the other pens. Of course, they're dropping pretty fast. Only seven of the birds are laying now. But they look contented." The world's record is 3359 points, set by a pen owned by J.

H. Han sen, Corvallis, a year ago. The pen's production of nine eggs for the first three days of the week gave it a total of 3344.4 points to date. A white Leghorn pen owned Dy F. C.

Evans, Abbotsford, also broke the exiting Canadian record for points scored by a pen of light birds, even though the Evans en tries finished second to Vroom's in the contest. The Abbotsford pen produced 2788 eggs for 3157 points. A second repord went by the boards in the contest when the Experimental Farm's entry of Barred Rocks cracked the Canadian mark for heavy birds with 2715 eggs and 2948 points. Officials are unable to ascertain whether or not this is also a world's record. This year is Mr.

Vroom's second year in contest work. He finished 12th last year. His pen has five 300 egg hens in it, his No. 1 bird coming second in the individual race for high honors, being beaten by hen No. 3 in the pen of F.

C. Evans of Abbotsford. Mr. Evans, unlike Mr. Vroom, has already made a wonderful reputation in Canadian contests, having won numerous competitions in Canada, but having won the Agassiz contest only once, namely in 1930, when his pen scored 2770 points.

Brown Took Lead As the contest opened on the (Continued on Page Five) message, In part, from Dominion President Colonel W. W. Foster: "Surely the general thanksgiving for the avoidance of war In the recent world crisis will remind us as never before of those who fought, died and suffered in the Great War. The Poppy is the universal emblem of Remembrance, and as Remembrance Day approaches, we appeal to the generous public of Canada to symbolize the occasion by purchasing and wearing 'Vetcraft' Poppies made by ex service men disabled in the Great War. By so doing, you will not only be displaying the Flower of Remembrance In memory of the fallen who sacrificed their lives that we might be free; you will also help those who returned to us but who, due to their sacrifices for Canada, need our practical assistance and sympathy." This message is not only a call to all members to make this year's Poppy Campaign an outstanding success, but it is also an appeal to the general public for support.

Needy Persons Supplied By Chest Annual Meeting Hears That 137 Families Helped One hundred and thirty seven needy families in Chilliwack district were supplied with clothes last year, according to a report given by Mrs. Charles E. Davis at the annual meeting of the Community Chest Monday night. J. H.

Izod heads the executive this year with Leslie H. Eyres, M.L.A., vice president; Mrs. E. J. Edmonds, secretary; H.

Densham, treasurer, and Mrs. C. E. Davis, clothing convener. Three hundred and twenty six suits of underwear, 264 pairs of shoes, 356 pairs of sox and stockings, 22 quilts, 18 layettes, mattresses, tables and chairs and many other articles were distributed during the year.

Most of the clothing was given to school children in order that they might attend school. The Chest again plans to establish headquarters above Campbell's meat market, Wellington avenue. Buys Clydesdale Wesley Mclntyre has purchased a two year old Clydesdale gelding from John Mole, Ladner. The horse Is sired by Pacific Footprint, owned by Mufford Brothers. An Interview With Those Champion Leghorns A world's egg laying record is being approached in our own back yard.

Not since Derreen, H. Ruttledge's bird, broke a world's record has there been as much excitement among poultry followers. So The Progress, desiring to get the last word on the situation, dispatched an expert to get the "inside" for our readers. He returned to the office this morning somewhat dazzled by it all. "Those White Leghorns are the toughest birds I ever had to interview.

They wouldn't talk at all. They were too busy laying. "I won their confidence eventually though. Say, the excitement in that pen is something terrific. You take Betsy, for instance.

She's the spare only ten of the eleven birds count, you know. Betsy may be on the bench, but you'd never know it. She turns a cartwheel every time one of her gal friends kicks through with an egg. I found that she was the easiest to talk to, in between cartwheels. 'I want you to see that these girls get a break.

They deserve some publicity, and I'm the one that can give it to you. Say look here, you big bohunk, do you realize what we're doing? We've got till Monday to do it in, what's more. Sure, we'll make it. You can't keep a good bird down. Our gang here are all good birds.

I've never met a finer bunch of chickens. Nice to work with Betsy diverted her attention to Matilda, who had a gleam in her eye over there in the corner. There was complete, deathly silence in the pen. "Everybody seemed to be holding their breath," reported The Progress' representative. "I'm going batty with the strain of this thing, day after day.

The nervous tension is terrific," Betsy whispers to our man. "Come on kid, we're pulling for yuh," says Betsy out of the corner of her mouth. "Come on you kid." Matilda shifted uneasily. She went back to her job again. "Say boy, you could just hear that egg coming," our reporter says.

"It came, finally, and boy, was there bedlam in that pen. They all got up and ran around like mad, clucking and screeching. Gee, I've never seen such a happy bunch of White Leghorns. Say, I was downright proud of them. I left with tears in my eyes, I was so proud of them birds, chief.

And I could see Betsy doing handsprings all over the place." William S. Standeven, Arthur Rundle, and W. E. Chidlow of the municipal school board, attended the opening of the Mission junior high school Friday. From the city went Charles Parker, Mr.

and Mrs. A. Knox, Mr. and Mrs. A.

Plodd ing With the Plowmen I Jib tuit PLOVTNG MATCH Prize Winners A driving, penetrating rain which dampened the ardor of spectators but failed to deter competitors, marked Chilliwack's sixteenth annual plowing match on Prest road this afternoon. Twenty competitors turned in a class of plowing that would stand up to anything in the country, according to veteran witnesses. Judges found the competition keen, the weather difficult, when marking score cards.

Plowmen from other points of the valley added to the zest of competition. Distraction was offered spectators who left rain proof automobiles. Raindrops trickled down necks, mud squilched from beneath shoes. Wise observers held down a comfortable observation point in their cars. The match was held on a field on the property known as the Guinet farm, and loaned by Mr.

Henson. Youngest plowman at the match was Walter Moore, 14, who won second in his class as well as the prize for best finish.

Accident Fatal To Mills Man Truck Gets Out of Control Near Agassiz, Pins Driver in Cab "Death was accidental caused by overturning of the truck, which crushed him," was the jury's verdict following investigation into the death of Elgin Thompson, 30, Har rison Mills, following an auto accident near Agassiz Saturday night. The inquest was conducted by Coroner C. N. Tingle and the jury consisted of H. H.

K. Greene, foreman, E. C. Bates, R. H.

Dennis, George A. McCullough, J. F. Mel nyk and F. E.

Inkman. According to testimony presented at the inquest, the deceased took the car, which belonged to C. F. Pretty, his employer, without the owner's consent. The other men in the car, E.

A. Bousquet, E. F. May nard and W. F.

Shepherd, who escaped uninjured, testified that they did not know of this fact. The four men were returning to Harrison Mills when the car got out of the driver's control at the intersection of the Harrison Hot Springs road and the Trans Canada highway. Turning over, the truck pinned the driver in the cab. His companions were thrown clear and suffered only minor facial injuries. All four riders were employees of C.

F. Pretty, Harrison Mills. Evidence presented by Dr. P. McCaffrey indicated that the deceased suffered from injuries to the head and abdomen, any of which might have caused death.

Early in the summer Thompson came into prominence when he made an unsuccessful attempt to save the life of a companion with whom he was swimming. ff suppose 1 to get 1 TVS OTY IS TWIS 'the fir) to twe rrND or dfPU CfttT at Today's Match Announced New City Fire Truck Gets Baptism Today $4000 Outfit Put Into Operation For First Time This Afternoon A terrific whistle like a First of July rocket cutting the air this afternoon marked the end of a goal of twenty years standing as far as the city's volunteer fire department was concerned. Members of the department, city officials and others stood in a drenching rain while a completely modern fire truck pumped two streams of water high into the air. The truck, which cost the city almost $4000, was baptized in the worst downpour the city has had since springtime. The outfit shot 125 gallons of water a minute into an empty lot on Princess avenue.

The "juice" came pounding out of the hose with such force that it almost threw Vic Logan and Harry Ford, two longtime members of the brigade, off their balance. Another loud whistle, and out the water came from the second hoseline, being handled by Russ Street. "I'm completely satisfied. Other fire departments tell me that it is the finest small pumping outfit ever brought into the province," stated Fire Chief Tom Knight as he watched the two streams of water. Plenty of Pressure "There just isn't any comparison between this outfit and the one you have been using here," said W.

J. Graham, provincial representative of Bicknell Seagrave Fire Engine company of Wichita, Kansas, who supplied the equipment. It will throw 420 imperial gallons a minute at a pump pressure of 120 pounds; 210 gallons a minute at a pump pressure of 200 pounds, and 140 gallons a minute at a pump pressure of 250 pounds. Our company has installed only two other machines like it in B. Hose from the truck is attached to a hydrant.

Water passes through a booster pump run off the truck engine. The result is that the pressure can be jumped up to the figures quoted from the 60 pounds pressure in the water mains. The truck, a two ton Chevrolet, is equipped with a 100 gallon tank of water from which runs a three quarter inch hose, with a five sixteenths nozzle. This arrangement makes it possible to have an immediate supply of water at hand at any time. Can Use Open Water Another advantage to the set up is that the pumping outfit will not only take water from a hydrant, but also from a slough or well.

To Alderman Theo McCammon, head of the fire and light committee on the city council, goes much of the credit for securing the truck. Other members of the department present at the truck's christening were Fred Leary, Jack Northcote, Harry Ford, and George Ford. Nemo Layfield, master mechanic of the Vancouver fire department, showed members of the local department the intricacies of the pumping outfit. A second demonstration will be held tomorrow for the benefit of representatives from the B. C.

Fire Underwriters association.

MacLeod, Chilliwack, has been promoted from Flight Commander to Wing Commander in the Royal Canadian Air Force. Wing Commander in the Air Force is comparable to Lieut. Col. in the Army. Mr.

MacLeod is acting O. C. at Jericho Air Station at Vancouver. Many friends are greatly interested in the steady advancement made by Wing Commander MacLeod since entering the service during the Great War. 7 Landowners In Ditching Schemes To Be Notified LL property owners in any A is to be undertaken, will be expenditure in future, it was decided at Saturday's meeting of the municipal council.

The question was brought forward by Reeve Ryder, as a result of a protest on the part of a group of land owners in a scheme who cleaned out about a mile of ditching as a voluntary contribution, while later another group in the same scheme undertook to do some improving to be paid for by all included in the project. District Loses Valued Citizen In J. A. MacLeod Served His District and Country With Distinction In Many Walks of Life; Raised Fine Family A host of friends learned with regret of the unexpected death of John Alexander MacLeod at his home, South Sumas road, Friday morning, from a heart attack. Within the last month deceased had suffered from one or two attacks, but none thought the end so near.

The funeral, which was largely attended by old friends, neighbors and former colleagues in the ad ministrative life of the community, was held Monday afternoon. Service was conducted in Cooke's Presbyterian church by Rev. J. Munro, the minister, and Rev. E.

Manuel, minister at Sumas United church. Burial was made in the family plot, Odd Fellows' cemetery, the pallbearers being Ira W. Clark, Coun. W. T.

Richardson, jyawin a Wells, Col. A. H. Rowberry, C. M.

Pearson and Aid. J. P. Robertson. The late Mr.

MacLeod was born in Strathalbyn, Prince Edward Island, on December 9, 1861. After teaching school for several years on the Island, he came west by railway across the United States to Oregon and then to victoria, B. in 1884. He taught school at Colwood, V. for a year, at St.

John's college, New Westminster, for a year, and took charge of the Sumas school in the Chilliwack valley in 1886. In 1887 he married Clara Chad sey, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. William Chadsey. Following his marriage he resided in Port' land, for four years, returning to teach at Sumas school in 1891.

In 1893 he took up a farm on South Sumas road where he con tinued to live until his death. For over twenty years Mr. Mao Leod was in charge of the post office at South Sumas, and for many years served as school trus tee and Sunday school superintend dent in the home district. In 1908, the year the City of Chilliwack was incorporated, Mr. MacLeod entered municipal life, heading the poll that year for (Continued on Page Four) Apprehension Is Felt Over Vedder River Flood Menace; Community To Make Survey DOSSIBLE flood menace accentuated by changed conditions along the Vedder and Chilliwack rivers will be investigated by a special committee appointed at a general meeting of the Board of Trade in the city hall Monday evening, following discussions of the situation at a luncheon meeting of the board Thursday, and at Monday night's review.

Tax Penalty In Effect After Tuesday A week from today will be too late to pay the 1938 tax levy into the municipality and avoid a ten per cent penalty addition. Many property owners have already made their peace with the collector, but between now and Tuesday night there will be a lengthy list of contributors to municipal revenues. Every year it costs forgetful ones ten per cent extra. A notice on the tax demand, an advertisement in this newspaper, and reminders in the news columns, are all issued to assist the taxpayer in remembering that after Tuesday, November 1, it will cost him extra taxes if he fails to make payment on or before that date.

In the instance under review it was believed that the second group had no thought of putting something over the other contributors to the ditching scheme. A request was received for cleaning out the north arm of the Dum vill creek in the Rosedale area.

In conformity with the foregoing decision all interested in the work will be notified, before action is taken. The opinion of the Provincial Traffic department that restrictions be placed on traffic in and through Rosedale, was ordered passed on to Rosedale P. T. the organization from whom the request came to the council. The communication reported stop signs in place on the north and south approaches to the Trans Canada highway in Rosedale.

At the suggestion of Councillor Thornton a bill amounting to $580 for fighting fire in the Elk creek watershed during the summer will be forwarded to the Elk Creek Waterworks Co. Ltd. for payment. New power and light pole line locations on Camp River road and in Yarrow district submitted by the B. C.

Electric Co. Ltd. were approved. Low hanging power wires across municipal roads in some areas will be brought to the attention of department heads. It is believed that the height of the wires above the roadways does not conform to provincial regulations.

George Bryant, a returned soldier farmer at Rosedale, applied for a refund of tax penalty. A sliding scale of penalty is allowed returned soldier property owners, under a special bylaw passed by the council. As many have made settlement on this basis, Mr. Bryant will be advised that the concession asked for cannot be granted this year. From reports made by road and poll tax collectors, a number of farmer employers will be officially notified that they are responsible for payment of these levies, same to be taken from wages of the employed person or persons.

Reeve Ryder and Clerk Brice were appointed to confer with Colonel Latta, of the Land Settlement board, re taxes due on a parcel of land on which the Settlement board holds a mortgage. Accumulated taxes on the parcel constitute a considerable sum. Councillors Thornton and Annis reported on possible flood condi tions on the Chilliwack and Vedder rivers, and it was agreed that council be represented at the Board of Trade meeting called to deal The committee named jj Reeve Hougen, Sumas; Reeve Ryder, Chilliwack: District Engineer Harry Anderson, Suma Dyking Commissioner Bruce Dixon, Coun. W. E.

A. Thornton and E. A. Wells, Sardis. The resolution offered by H.

M. Eddie and seconded by Mayor Barber, requested the committee to investigate the situa tion on the ground and report their findings at the earliest possible date. Sumas municipality was represented by Reeve Hougen and Councillors Belrose and Fadden; Chilli whack township, by Reeve Ryder and Councillor Thornton; the "city by Mayor Barber. Bruce Dixon, commissioner for Sumas lyking district, attended following a' survey from Vedder canal bridge to Vedder Crossing. Such men as Councillor Thornton, E.

A. Wells, H. M. Eddie, and others who are familiar with the vagaries of the turbulent Chilliwack and Vedder streams and losses sustained in the past, are apprehensive owing to the recent logging off of the thirty five mile watershed, which has been followed by a fire which has laid bare large areas of mountain slopes. The absence of tree growth will allow a quick run off, it is felt, while much debris and silt is likely to come down as a result of logging operations and mud slides.

The course of the river which is named Vedder below the bridge at the Crossing, (Chilliwack above that point) is along a ridge which has been built up during the years with gravel and debris brought down from upper reaches during flood time. Farm lands on both sides of the river from the Crossing to the Vedder canal diversion are lower than the bed of the river. Thus a serious hazard is created, for should the stream break through the low bank at any point great loss will be sustained, it is feared. Sponsors of immediate action suggest that flood water be impounded in Chilliwack" lake, 35 miles up river, by construction of a 20 or 30 foot dam at the lake outlet; that accumulated silt in Vedder canal be removed, and that the Vedder banks be reinforced. Bruce Dixon, dyking commissioner, while admitting there was a considerable element of danger from flood conditions, warned that it was impossible to expect the government to spend a large sum of money on protection work.

He was formulating plans, he said, for removal of silt from the upper end of the Vedder canal, and expressed the opinion that the work which has been carried on for some years in yarding log jams and stumps from the course of the river between Vedder Crossing and the B. C. E. R. bridge, and piling the drift along the banks of the stream, had and will continue to prove effective in controlling flood waters.

Mr. Dixon suggested that this work was partly the responsibility of the municipalities concerned. He thought the best approach to the government would be for the municipalities to contribute to the cost and ask the provincial government to assist. The government has borne the cost of all of this class of work done on the river during the past five or six years, he stated. Following some further discussion 'the foregoing resolution was unanimously adopted.

Councillor Richardson was in his usual place after a trip to Alberta, although still suffering somewhat from injuries received in a motor accident near MacLeod, Alberta.
