W. German at Agri There must be some explanation but E. J. I.ockwood, manager of Chilliwack's Unemployment Insurance Commission office doesn't profess to know what happened to about 45 per cent of the people who should have been in to collect their insurance Monday and Tuesday. The only explanation Mr.

Loekwood can come up with is that emergency repair work arising from nature's rampage is funnelling off the claimants. Only 55 per cent of the claimants showed up Monday and 57 per cent Tuesday. It is customary when a person goes to work to go to the UIC office and "sign oil" their claim. None of those who failed to show up Monday and Tuesday had signed olf. a S303.ir0 school budget for 1 greater than last I changed in 1951.

School district 33 operated last year on the third lowest cost on a per pupil basis of any school district in the province, trustee Frank Wilson added. Estimated ordinary expenses for 1951 are SG82.G16, of which an estimated $289,460 will be received in provincial government and other grants, leaving to be raised by levy. Relative costs to the city and township for 1950 and 1951 are: however, one of the most favorable salary schedules in the province.

Gordon Henry's bus, chartered for the occasion, was so full that some doubling up was necessary to get the 32 people aboard for the trip. The skiers were disappointed that the much-promised ski tow was not in operation but were able to report that the footings for the engine were in place. A guarantee was given once again that the tow would be in operation soon. The Chilliwack Ski club now has two cabins until the end of the season to take care of the overflow crowd. A small one was obtained to go with the three-room cabin already possessed.

The mild weather made the snow sticky in spots but after the. surface was packed the downhill run was in pretty good shape. There were two minor accidents, one when a lad from the army camp made the bottom of the hill and then had the tips of his skis dig into the snow. Both skis were broken about a foot from the tip and the skier had a nasty fall but was not hurt. Vic Pauls broke one of bis skis in another tumble.
