AMBULANCE DRIVER PICKS UP MOTHER IN EDMONTON

When John A. McFarlane drove an ambulance to the scene of an accident in Edmonton Saturday night, he found the fatally-injured victim was his mother. Mrs, Ellen McFarlane suffer- ed a crushed skull when struck by an automobile which skidded on slippery road surface as the driver sought to avoid the 62-year-old woman, The machine carried Mrs. McFarlane over the roadway, crushing her against a tree,

SS LINDBEGHS BACK IN AMERICA

NEW YORK — America’s ‘Lone Eagle,” Col. Charles A, Lindbergh, came back to his own country Sunday, ending his two-years of self-imposed exile with a surprise visit to his native land. Unheralded, amid the strictest secrecy, Col, Lindbergh and his wife arrived on the S.S. President Harding to break—at least for a brief inter- lude during the Christmas holidays— their never-explained sojourn abroad.

The famous aviator left his two small children. Jon, aged five, and Land, six months old, in England,

Arrival of the Lindberghs almost passed unnoticed. But for an alert ship news photographer they may have entered the United States with- out anyone knowing of their trip, since they booked passage under as- sumed names, although two days out from land they announced their iden- tity to the passengers on board.

HIGH TARIFF—PRAIRIE FARMER

The Searle Index shows that the prices paid by Western producers for the thines thev buy are some 34 per cent hirher than they were before the War. and even at that time it was considered that the costs of these some things were higher than they should have been in relationshin to the priees received by farmers for the commodities they produced and sold.

It is undeniable that much of the extra cost is caused by the hirh tar- iffs which protect Canadian industry, and make both foreign and Canadian goods higher in price.

There are still a number of subh- serihere who are holdine out on their evherrintinn navments. We would Ike them to eall nd pay up their arrenrs if at all nossible,

WHEAT STOCKS

GETTING LOW

Total visible wheat supplies in Ca- nada on November 26th added up to 68,818,376 bushels. Needless to say this is a very small supply for this time of the year.

There were only about 14 million bushels in country elevators in the west and 5,650,000 in interior terminal elevators.

On the Pacific coast, terminals con- tained approximately three million bushels and suvnlies at Fort William- Port Arthur totalled only 6 3-4 mil- lion. Only 11.870000 bushels were stored at Churchill.

In eastern terminals on the lake ports some 7.800.000 bushels were stored and at Montreal and other Quebec ports 2.470000 bushels. while 4 1-2 million bushels were stored in United States Inke and ocean ports. fame 7 3-4 million bushels were in transit.

Lying in a lonely spot near the abandoned entry to the old Patterson mine, the mutilated body of Jesse Fuller, well-known miner of Carbon, was found by L.J, Shannon last Sat- urday afternoon. Police are investi- gating.

It is gratifying indeed to see the current turned on again in the local light system. Every night for the past two months the town has been without electric light service.

“The World of Wheat’’ Reviewed Weekly By Major H.G.L. Strange

Argentina is making strenuous ef- forts to improve the quality of her wheat, She hopes eventually to offer on World markets qualities equal to Manitoba No. 1 and No, 2 Northern!

As a first step, news dispatches tell us, the Argentine has established a grain office in London, not for mar- keting wheat, but to find out which varieties that can be grown in Ar- gentine, will best please the British and European millers,

It is then the intention of the Gov- ernment to arrange for the growing of large quantities of pedigreed seed of the selected varieties, to offer this hich class seed to farmers at reason- able prices, and to induce them to use, in each district, a recommended variety only.

The Argentine evidently simply in- tends to adopt the identical methods Canada has been successfully using for over thirty years. Nevertheless, this new threat to Canada’s wheat superiority must be taken seriously. We eonnot afford to rest on our laur- els. Canada, however, can retain the leadership in wheat quality she now enjovs provided our farmers will put forth still further efforts by using only good seed of recommended varie- ties.

The “Crop Testing Plan” results reveal that 40 per cent of our farmers are not growing recommended varie-

Under the relief set up as it exists to-day in Alberta and Saskatchewan

the Federal government has assumed full financial responsibility for direct relief in what is known as the Federal drought area, comprising a sub- stantal area of municipal units ¢ unorganized territories together with the towns and villages contained in those areas. The provincial govern-

ments are required along with the municipalities to bear hospital and medi- n the Federal drought area and in addition the provincial govern- ments must match the Federal monthly grants in aid, dollar for dollar, as

municipalities outside the drought area The Federal contribution to the drought area is an outright gift, not to he repaid and is accompanied by the proviso that neither the whole nor a!

portion of it may be worked out

Thus, within the Federal drought area the provincial governments and. unicipalities still have to bear the the drought area the municipalities, urban! and rural, continue to carry a percentage of direct relief expenditures, the

While it is true that the larger urban centres to-day are carrying a siualler percentage of direct relief expenditures, at the same time the

secumulated burden of overhead trom borrowings to provide for their share of direct relief expenditures in past years has been rapidly mounting during a period when there was no market for their securities and to-day the credit of many of the cities is threatened with collapse, at a time when the full burden cannot be a deereasing number of solvent taxpayers

Furthermore, it must be remembered that the plight of these cities has been accentuated in recent years by the necessity of taking care of an influx of rural population who have established time to qualify for city relief.

Faced with this situation it is fot surprising that the demand from the governing bodies of cities in both

residence for a sufficient

length of

Alberta and Suskatchewan to be relieved of this burden is becoming more vociferous and that in Alberta, at least, the cities’ demands are accompanied by threat off relief on a date to be named unless further assistance is forthcoming from the senior govern-

FLIN FLON

“The Story of Its Finding and Position To-day”

By PRATT KUHN

(Ed, Note: We are indebted to B. F, Townsley, Toronto, author of “Mine Finders’ for some his- tor-cal material used in the first part of this story.)

There are some things you want to! do and seemingly never arrive at the! point where they are possible of | accomplishment. My visit to Flin! Flon was one thing I'd looked for-| ward to for years, yet July, 1937, was the first time [ got there,

While living in Winnipeg from 1916 to 1923, during some years of | which I was on the publicity com-! mittee of the city, the name Flin! Flon intrigued me coming Fast be-| fore the big developments, under the Hudson Bay Mining and Smelting Co. | took place it was impossible to get | back -this year I “made the time” and was fully repaid for the effort in going west from Toronto. |

In a virgin forest on the banks of | a lake was where Tom Creighton! found this mine —to-day you wouldn't recognize the spot. However, let's start at the beginning because this) is going to be a long story and must be told properly —right from the first gold discovery in Manitoba, 56 years ago, to the present Flin Flon posi- tion of production at the rate of 4,500 tons da.ly and of a town of 7,000 built on solid rock in seven years.

} | |

The Trail To Flin Flon In 1881 gold was discovered on! Block Island in Winnipeg and on the mainland and on the south side of the Wanip.gou River near its mouth in 1895. These early discoveries

failed to stir interest in gold min- | ing, although in 1908 a few more claims were staked on the Wani-

p-gou, but no work was done. Major A. E. Pelletier, a French- Canadian Boer war veteran, in May, 1911, resigned as inspector of the R.C.M.P, to prospect for gold. He, with his Indian partner, Jack

Spence, were at Big Rice Lake, Manitoba, in January, 1911, and though the area was covered with

snow it appealed to him, so he came back in May, 1911, with Duncan Twoheart, another Indian. They, pitched their camp, lit a fire and two hours tater the fire had thawed the snow and revealed free gold in the rocks. He named the tind Gabrielle (after his best girl in Quebec). Stak- ing another claim he called it Rachel (atter his second best girl), then staked an intervening claim and named it San Antonio after his patron saint.

From 1917 to 1927 small mines} were operated for short periods with! In 1927 the Central Manitoba Mines started production with a 50-ton mill only 125 miles northeast from Win- nipeg.

Amisk, or Beaver Lake, in Sas- katchewan, adjoining the Manitoba boundary, is on the main route from Winnipeg to the hunting and trap- ping country, lying to the north and west -famed for its moose. As early as 1745 French fur traders had reached the Saskatchewan River. Samuel Hearne surveyed the fur trade possibilities of the area in 1773 and founded Cumberland House for the Hudson's Bay Co., at Pine Island, 60 miles northwest of what) is now The Pas, established immedi- |

1937 the man who found the Flin Flon mine in 1915.

This is Tom Creighton in

ately after the free-trading French, A year later, Joseph Frobisher and

his brother, Alexander Henry, win- tered at Amisk Lake, while in 1794) David Thompson mapped its geo-

graphical features,

But it was fur, not minerals, that) interested the pioneers, and it re-| mained for a moose to inadvertently

guide a prospector to Manitoba's largest mine. In 1905, when the Hudson Bay!

Railway was rushing northeast over the muskeg toward Hudson Bay, the trading post at The Pas received fresh stimulus, and in 1908 the Ger- man prospector, Brunne, staked the first claim in the area of Cranberry! Lake. The first, if desultory pros- pecting of the area, may be credited) to Canadian Townsites, Ltd., which had real estate interest in The Pas, and which sent out a party of pros- | pectors comprising Hugh Vickers, |

| George Bancroft, and W. B. Wright.

{In 1911 this group staked claims for, copper along the Hudson Bay Rail- way at Winterling Lake, The first systematic prospecting in the area, however, may be said to date from April, 1913, when Tom Creighton, a cautious, experienced prospector and a veteran of many camps, with John, Mosher, Dan Mosher and Leon Dion, first prospected around Lac La Ronge.

Early in the spring of 1913, before the break up, some citizens of Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, grubstaked Creighton, John and Dan Mosher and Dion, who prospected around Amisk, or Beaver Lake, just across the in- ter-provincial boundary from the present site of Flin Flon, In Sep- tember of that year, they staked the

| MINCE MEAT PATTIES

FOR HOLIDAY SEASON

The holidays call for parties and good times, particularly when the young folks are home from work and from college. Refreshments are an important consideration and there are certain traditional dishes that are accorded a place on the holiday menu.

Mincemeat patties add to the suc- cess of any party. In fact, many people try to have a Mince Meat Pat- tie at twelve different times, during the holidays, believing that each one makes for a happy month during the ensuing year. Whether that theory 4s correct, is difficult to say, but we all agree that Mince Meat Patties

are pretty fine after skating or a tobogganing party.

The hostess finds these patties very easy to serve. They can be made ahead of time and simply warmed up pbefore’ serving. The mince meat can be made ahead of time -in fact, many people make a

‘winter's supply at once,

To make the patties, make a rich pastry. Line tart shells with the pastry. Fill with mincemeat and cut a small piece of pastry to cover This can be cut with a cookie cutter or with a sealer ring. Make small openings to allow the steam to escape. Moisten the edges with cold water and press together. Bake as you would a mince pie.

I have a splendid recipe for mince- meat which I would be pleased to send you. Many people make their mincemeat without following any definite recipe but they have a few little trade secrets which they do not like to tell you. This recipe is 1 tried and tested one,

It is not wise to serve too many of these rich foods during the holi- day season. The digestive system cannot stand up against too much strain, particularly when coupled with late hours. Serve some simple

| desserts to help balance up the meals

Cook slowly and turn the apples occasionally. Watch carefully so that the apples do not get over- cooked, Remove the apples to the serving dish. Add the remainder of the apples to the syrup and cook in the same way. Pour the syrup ove: the apples. It will take up some of the pink color of the apples.

“It I may say so,” Captain Duff- Hooper said, “that is not a particu- larly strong reason for involving yourself in his financial affairs.”

“Possibly not,”” admitted the Earl, “put I liked old Gerald. He made me feel superior. Perhaps I did make a mistake—but I made it. At any rate,” he added, triumphantly, ‘'l wasn't as big a fool as the fellows’ who advanced a noodle like Gerald twenty thousand pounds.”

The Earl looked rather less like an earl than a man who had come to fix the piano and rather more like} a strawberry dipped in whipped | cream than either; for his round,} vague face was a rich, ripe red and his ruff of hair was as white as al laundered dove. He was a small: sized man who looked as if at any moment his baggy old suit of dun- hued shetland would swallow him, up.

“We are here,” began the Earl, in, the formal public tone he adopted: when presenting prizes at a cat show, “to consider a most important matter. I asked you, Esme, to at-, tend what we may call a family council because you've got a head on your shoulders |

Duff-Hooper acknowledged — the compliment with a nod like an emu pecking at a grub.

“And,” continued the Earl of Bingley, ‘because you are, that is, you may be, a member, so to speak, of the family, if you know what I[ mean"

His voice trailed off.

‘I know what you mean, father,” said the girl who was the third mem- ber of the conclave. She

wore an

orchre sweater and olive jodhpurs. “But keep Cupid out of this. You can hardly expect Esme to bother

about romance till the hunting sea- son is over.”

The Silence Of London Measured On Armistice Day Like Purr Of Cat The great silence which descended on London Noy, 11 was measured and found to be as quiet as the purr of a.cat. Equipped with a sound meter Sir Christopher Robinson, sec- retary of the Anti-Noise League, made a test in the Strand. Five minutes before the silence the meter registered 72 decibels units of sound measurement. During the sil- ence the meter recorded 82 decibels and afterwards 75 decibels, While the noise during the two minutes was as low as the purr of a cat it was slightly louder than countryside sounds recorded in a _ field, These sounds usually measure from 25 to 30 decibels, Ordinary conversation corresponds to 45 decibels Leading Expert Dead Sir Charles Bright, one of the world’s leading experts on cable communications, died at Bishop Stratford, England, at the age of 73 He was credited with convincing the British Government in 1914 of the possibility of installing wireless in airplanes, Use a flashlight for hunting things in dark closets, Lighted tapers or matches may prove disastrous

The tobacco industry has proved a fruitful fleld for labor agitators, During the harvest season in Aug- ust an incipient “strike’’ was halted when farmers succeeded in obtaining university siudents and unemployed youths and men from nearby cities who were willing to work for three dollars and more per day. When the market opened, another group of agi- tators succeeded in organizing 200 of the 1,700 land-owners and tempor- arily delaying the market, but the | agitation collapsed for lack of sup- port among the representative sec- tion of the industry,

TRANSFORMING FRIENDSHIP (By Rev, W.H. MecDannold)

Has it ever struck you that we should learn more if we listened to our critics and our enemies? Imme- diately we throw up defensive barriers and our temperature rises and we miss the lesson, God may be trying to find us more fully through our ene- mies, Jesus in front of Pontius Pitate kept silent and it is more than likely | that God found him in thot hour and | also that the Roman governor was found too,

Leslie Weatherhead tells a story in| one of his books about a minister. | This man persuaded the men of his town, during a long and t-d’ous strike, ; to work at toy-making. The scheme was a success and the men tired of doing nothing were enthusiastic. Presently the minister wanted to es- cape the thronging in the toy shop, so out into the woods he went, trying to run away and be alone, But even there he heard the tramp of men’s feet on the roads and he could not get away from them, Ard to him came as a word from God a part of Frances Thompson’s poem ‘The Hound of Heaven,’ It came to him in the woods:

“Still with unhurrying chase,

And unperturbed pace,

Deliberate speed, majestic instancy,

Came on the following feet

And a voice above their beat,

Nought shelters thee, who wilt not shelter me.”

There are times when we must shut out men but only physically and for a little while, Even then we must pray for those “who despitefully use | us.” To shut men out of our lives is) to shut out God, |

The point I am trying to make this week is that God oftentimes tries to! speak his deepest word in the things from which we shrink, Listen to your crities, Listen even when things get tedious and difficult, God’s peace does not come to those who seek to escape everthing. His peace and strength becomes most real in hard
