Visitors at Hiding Mountain park last year totaled 163,230, far exceeding such parks as Jasper, Point Pelee, Yoho and Waterton Lakes. Only Banff, with an attendance of 283,067 was higher. Mr. Stead arrived In today after attending a tourist conference called by the Alberta government at Edmonton. He is at the Fort Garry hotel.

Strong Magnet "Riding Mountain is proving to be one of our most important parks In Canada," he said. "The attendance has been remarkable, when you consider that we have such parks as Jasper and Yoho. In 1939 the park ranked third In number of visitors, but came up to second last year." With misunderstandings concerning border regulations cleared up in the U.S.A., the tourist outlook for the coming year is good, he said. In 1940 an estimated 1,170,048 people visited the national parks of Canada. Of these 203,628 Recognize Leadership Of Winnipeg Women 'T'HE leadership of Winnipeg women In the co ordination of their war activities through the Central Volunteer bureau will be emphasized in a forthcoming film of the Canada Carries On series, showing the part played by women in the national war effort.

"In establishing the bureau, Winnipeg women set an example to the rest of the Dominion of the wisdom of Integrating their war activities and service," John Grier son, government film commissionei with the National Film Board, said in Winnipeg today. Three Films For U.S. Mr. Grierson Is on his way back to Ottawa from Hollywood. An American film company had sought the co operation of the National Film Board in the production of three films for distribution in the United States, he said.

The pictures will deal with the battle of the Atlantic, the Eagle Squadron, an R.A.F. squadron composed entirely of Americans, and air development in Canada. Of the Canada Carries On series, he said: "The war is giving Canada the opportunity to become aware of Itself nationally and Internationally. Our Job Is to help articulate that process. Because Canada is becoming a world power, she must under Rupert's Land Ballot Delivery Still Uncertain AT noon today there was no word whether corrected ballots in Rupert's Land constituency had been delivered at its 17 polling divisions, and it was not certain that the election could go on Tuesday, Pilot Eddie Richards, Wings Limited, left Gimli at 7 a.m.

Thurs day, and no word was received until 2 p.m. Thursday. Then it was stated he had reached Norway House. This forenoon radio transmission was so bad that the plane could not be contacted.

The dls tributlon was by plane and was made before the error in the print ing was discovered. 9 were tourists, mostly American. "The national parks are playing an Important part in our war effort," said Mr "They probably bring In more foreign exchange than any other business or industry." Meets Local Officials During his visit In Winnipeg, he will confer with the tourist bureau staff and check on the motion ple ture library which is maintained with the Dominion Forestry ser vice. As result of the Edmonton con ference. Alberta might soon form a tourist council, he said.

"It shows a tendency of the times and it is possible that other provinces might follow suit. stand her position, her responsibility and her sense of purpose as a world power." The Battle of Brains, a film soon to be released, would show that this war was not being fought in trenches but in the laboratories of science. Gathering Material All films in the Canada Carries On series are made in co operation with the director of public Information, Herbert Lash. Stuart Legg, of the National Film Board, was also in Winnipeg today. He is returning to the East after a trip across the Dominion gathering material for films show ing the contribution being made by Canadian airways and railways to the war effort.

Plan To Employ Relief Recipients In Beautifying City Is Considered Problem In New Phase As Jobs Take Many Off Rolls By J. C. ROYLE SINCE the first of this week the number of married men on re lief In Winnipeg has dropped by 67, indicating a steady improvement in employment. There now remain 2.255 on the rolls.

The point has been reached where city government circles are considering the advisability of helping those still on relief towards rehabilitation by employing them at improving and beautifying the city. The city council Is expected to take action along this line. Aldermen and civic officials give several arguments for such a step. They point out: 1. At the present time the city can stand a good deal of Improving work on the streets for instance, and particularly cleaning up and beautifying.

2. There would be very little extra cost involved. 3. The unemployed men would benefit psychologically if they performed some work In return for the living they receive. 4.

The unemployed men would be built up physically so that they could better obtain and hold a job. Many "Light Tasks At present about 200 relief kept men are employed at cleaning and beautifying the city under the health department. While it Is ad mitted that a great proportion of those now on the rolls could not do heavy work, it is argued that almost all of the 2,000 married men and some of the 1,000 single men could perform such light tasks as cleaning up vacant lots, cutting weeds, and tidying the river banks. St. Boniface has already led the way.

At Monday's meeting the Cathedral City council passed an order requiring all able bodi. ed men on relief to work for their relief. Previously the men had been invited to work and had the right to refuse. In March when the leather was cold and damp and the streets muddy It was found that very few of the men turned out.

Beautifying City Those parts of the river banks owned by the city could be cleaned up; vacant lots scattered every where could be tidied; streets and boulevards could be kept free of weeds and refuse; the boulevards and edges of gravelled streets could be cared for and the nuisance ground on Saskatchewan beautified. There would be some small cost for equipment and materials, but very little. With utmost care being taken not to replace men who would regularly be employed by the city the relief recipients would work at the rate paid by the city for unskilled labor until their month's relief had been earned.

Then they would lay off until the following month. The present unskilled labor rate is 45 cents per hour. At the same rate the average unemployed man would work around two weeks to earn his month's relief. Get Extra Money Rules adopted by the Dominion, province and municipalities in 1938 specify that when persons on relief are put to work they will be paid an additional margin of one eighth of the amount of their re lief.

Thursday they had their expectations dashed by a letter from the civil service commissioner that they wouldn't get it. Today they got the good news they would. Instructions to give it came from Hon. J.

S. McDiarmid, minister of mines and natural resources, and acting premier in Mr. Bracken's absence. The letter from the civil service commissioner was based on information that it had not been the practice in the past to give employes a half holiday. Then there was some scurrying around to determine how the government could lawfully break its own laws.

On this question of holiday the Election Act says: "The day on which polling takes place at an election in any electoral division under this act from and after 1 o'clock in the afternoon, shall be a public holiday in that electoral division." A subsection provides a little loophole but Mr. McDiarmid ruled it would be too tight squeezing to get through it. Except in two or three cafes where voting will interfere with classes, there will be no hoiiday in city schools. Most of the school buildings are being used as premises for polling divisions, but the school board management ruled ThuMlay that this need not necessitate a general holiday.

Labor candidate, was the first to file each day are selected for a number of reasons.

They must work off their relief If they are enemy aliens, if authorities are satisfied they came to Winnipeg solely to get relief, If they break the rules, and for other reasons. This year Winnipeg will pay $390,000 and in the form of direct relief, and more if part of the Dominion's share is dumped on the city's shoulders. If all the people on relief were to work for the city full time the additional cost would not be more than $50,000 that is for the one eighth allowances. Situation Changed Some of the aldermen and civic officials say frankly they want the public of' Winnipeg to think hard about this question of relief. They point out that the situation has greatly changed since three years ago when the city council voted down by a narrow margin a proposal for compulsory relief work because it "savored of slavery." They point out that there are now more Jobs to be had and that soon It is likely many of those now on relief will be off.

An alderman, who didn't want his name published I don't want the unemployed to think I'm prodding Into their troubles With a surgeon's knife," had this to say: "I firmly believe we could, through such a plan, make our city dous amount of good for our un I Urges Planning Posf War Era The biggest problem today was what kind of a world will follow the war and "we should start talk ing ahout It now," Dr. Harold Rugg, New York, told a luncheon meeting of teachers and educationists at noon today. The meeting was held in the dining room of. the Hudson's Bay store under the auspices of the department of education. Professor of education at Colom bia university, and author of a number of text books on social science, Dr.

Rugg told of the new trends of education in the United States. His subject was What Do You Mean by the Social Studies? "We are moving into a new era of civilization and we must be pre pared for its problems. The new methods of education in the United States aim to teach youth the aspects and problems of our democratic social and economic institutions. It is necessary to teach the young people how to think of these problems and to take sides in issues." Dr. Rugg told of plans for the world meeting of the New Education Fellowship to be held in Ann Arbor, in July.

Two thousand educationists from 40 countries will attend. It was the first time the meeting will be held in North America. "There Is a great trend to discuss what sort of a world will follow the war and what we will do," he stated. pected that Saturday the city will go all out for the Greek cause in just the same way. The gifts so far received Include toione cheque for $15 from the St.

Nordin Confirmed As Deputy Warden Special to Tna Wlnn'peg Tribune STONY MOUNTAIN. April 18. Official word has been received of the appointment as deputy warden of the penitentiary of Eric Nordin who has been acting deputy for five years.

Mr. Nordin joined the peniten tiary stan: in 1918 as a guard ami has been promoted through various departments to his present position He served overseas In the Great War with the 29th Battalion, Suburban Polls To Close At 7 Voters in St. and suburban municipalities, were warned today to watch lest they lose their vote next Tuesday by mistaking the hour for closing of the polls. Only In Winnipeg do the polls remains open until 8 p.m. In all other electoral divisions they close at 7 p.m.

All over the province the time for opening the polls is the same, namely, 8 a.m. There has been some confusion In interpreting the Election Act on this point. The section cites: "In all polling places In electoral divi sions comprising the whole or any part of a city, except in an advance polling place, the poll shall be opened et eight o'clock in the fore noon; and shall be kept open until eight o'clock In the afternoon of the same day," A subsection immediately following says that in all other places the polls shall be kept open until seven. Protests have come from voters in St. Boniface that, St.

Boniface being a city, they should have the benefit of the extra hour for voting. Even though the St. Boniface electoral division takes in more territory than the city, the argument is that the urban polls at least should be open as late as In Winnipeg. The same arguments are advanced for Brandon and urban polls in Assiniboia, St. Clements, Kildonan St.

Andrews, and Springfield. For the present election, however, the arugment Is settled because election proclamations for every constituency other than Winnipeg fixes 7 p.m. as the hour for closing the polls. LONDON, April 18.
