SENATE REMOVES WHEAT FROM MARKETING 1SILL The Senate engaged in a few tilts over the marketing bill Friday and when it emerged from the Senate committee of the whole, wheat had been deleted from the products to which it may apply.

The basis for the action was that the marketing of wheat is now regulated by the Board of Grain Commissioners.

Decoration Day issue. See advt. in Liberal Sweep In Ontario And Saskatchewan Vote Ontario, which has been under Conservative rule since 1905, turned from Premier George S. Henrv to the Liberal leader, Mitchell F. Hepburn, in Tuesday's provincial election.

Tne liberals elected 06 members of a total membership of 90, the Conservatives 16, the balance being scattered among Co operative Commonwealth, Independents, United Farmers of Ontario, and Liberal Progressives. Premier Henry was re elected but lost seven of his ministers, three only being returned. Six of the 11 seats in Toronto were taken by the Liberals. Saskatchewan also went Liberal, returning the former premier, J. G.

Gardiner, and enough of his followers to give him a good working majority. Premier Anderson and every one of his cabinet ministers met defeat. The party was made up of Conservatives, Progressives and independents and was known as a co operative government. Early Wednesday moining the vote in Saskatchewan stood: Liberals 146,151, Government 90,128, Farmer Labor (C.C.F. I 71.816, and others, principally independent and United Front, 3,733.

Saskatchewan Legislature is made up of 55 members and late returns give the Liberals 33 elected and leading in 17; Conservatives 0, leading in one; Farmer Labor 1, leading in 2. Blind Corner Blasted Away at Harrison A spectacular but effective rock blast removed a blind corner and widened a narrow stretch of road on the Lougheed highway near Harrison Bay recently. Weeks of rock drilling and preparation preceeded the blast which shattered the rock bluff at this point well known to motorists using the increasingly popular north shore highway to Agassiz. While work which has been carried on for some months had resulted in much of the bluff being blasted away there remained about 150 feet of solid rock which could only be handled effectively in one blast. About of a ton of dynamite was used and approximately 2500 cubic yards of rock was shattered and dumped into the existing right of way when this was fired.

Clear vision of the road is now afforded as well as a roadway about 45 feet wide where formerly vision was sharply cut off by the bluff and the road was dangerously narrow as well. The road was cleared for traffic in about 3' a hours following the big blast. PROBE TO CONTINl The oil and gasoline industry as well as the cotton trade is to be probed by the Parliamentary committee on mass buying, which is to continue its investigations after the House closes. Several departmental stores are yet to be probed. EVEN THE DEAD CANNOT KEST IF KILLS NOT PAID A cremation association will remove two bodies from crypts at Seattle following a decision rendered by Superior Judge Roscoe Smith, who sustained the association's assertions that relatives of the dead had not kept up payments.

Hon. G. S. Pearson, minister of labor, who has charge of this important departure in governmental policy, has announced ne was asking all members of the Legislature to submit their ideas on how the unemployment should be met after August 1, when all existing relief lists will be cancelled. Meanwhile Mr.

Pearson and officials of his department are drafting a scheme which the minister said would concentrate on the provision of work instead of relief. The scheme contemplates the cooperation of industry in the provision of jobs, he intimated. In addition, new conditions will be laid down for those who seek to have their names put on the new relief lists to be compiled after August 1. The dual purpose of the scheme is thus not only to substitute work for relief but also to end the present abuse of relief allowances in many parts of the province. It is hoped that the undeserving having been eliminated, the government will be able to do more for the deserving by putting many of them to work.

Fruit Good In Quality With Shipments Heavy Fruit movements from the district continue in volume, the quality of practically all fruits going out this year being exceptionally good. The local branch of Brack man Ker Ltd. this week tilled one order for five tons of Koyal Anne cherries, the fruit being on its way within three days of receipt of the order. This variety of cherry is heavy, and in good condition. Bings and Deacons are good, though some reports state they are slightly lighter than last year.

The fruit is of good quality, and prices received to date have been holding firm in view of this. Raspberries are moving well, the Brackman Ker company shipping a ton of them a day to jam fac tories. They are in excellent condition this season and returns have been fairly good. Strawberries are over, but reports of their reception in other parts of Canada are coming in. This year B.

C. berries went as far east as Ontario, where their firmness and flavor elicited many complimentary remarks. One letter from Ottawa stated, "The East seems to be filled up with Fraser Valley berries, and they are lovely. Everybody is commenting on their superior flavor, size and firmness." 1810 NKW CARS A total of 1846 new motor vehicles were registered with the provincial police this year up to April 30.

GROWERS STRONGLY FAYOIl MARKETING INDER NEW ACT A proposal to regulate the marketing of fruit and a 100 per cent grower control scheme drafted by the growers' marketing committee were endorsed at the initial meet ing ot Okanagan valley growers held in Penticton. Of the 120 growers who voted, not a single vote was registered against the question: Are you in favor of marketing under the Natural Products Marketing Act?" Replying to the query of the ballot: Are you in favor of the scheme submitted? 117 voters said "yes" and three voted against the plan.

One hundred ami eighteen growers voted in favor of the proposal that the board to control the fruit industry should be a three man board of growers only, and but two against. BISIXESS SECTION NOW I BOASTS STREET I MISERS Chilliwack's business section has been dressed up with new street ing the residential district is now being carried out by H. K. Arthur, promoter of the plan. Mr.

Arthur reports that over 300 numbers have been placed on business establishments and residences in the city, and that to date he has not had a single refusal when citizens were acquainted with the work being done. The tasks of delivery men or strangers to the city in finding residences will, in future, be greatly lightened as a result of the numbering scheme. MARHIMEKS ENJOY PICNIC AT CI LTIS LAKE A number of former Maritime Province people enjoyed themselves at the annual picnic held at Cultus Lake on Wednesday, June 13. While the attendance was not is large as on former occasions, every one present was in the picnic mood. The baseball game scheduled to be played between the city residents and those living in the country did not materialize, many being unable to attend owing to the opening of the new athletic grounds, but there was some keen competition in pitching horseshoes.

been doing a little practising on the sly behind the bain. The oldest man on the grounds was Mr. Buttt, from New Brunswick, who celebrated his birthday on June 9. The society hopes he will be with them on many future occasions. There was an abundance of good things to eat, for which the ladies are to be thanked, s.nd, judging from appearances, this part of the performance was greatly appreciated and enjoyed.

Who Will Be Queen? A i fcM Competition for the honor of becoming Chilliwack's 8th Cherry Festival Queen is running keener than ever this year, ticket selling to date being the best on record. In the group above is, left top Princess Mary Nixon, "the Orphans' Friend," sponsored by the L. O. B. with all commissions on tickets sold by her canvassers going to the Protestant Orphanage in New Westminster.

Top right Princess Evelyn Zink, a member of one of the most popular of the valley's pioneer families, and with the strong backing of many organizations of Sardis, Atchelitz and Sumas Prairie districts. Princess Evelyn made a happy impression at the gathering at Atchelitz hall Friday evening, arranged in her honor. Centre Princess "Ollie" Marriott is the candidate of the Chilliwack Amateur Athletic Association. Judging from the feats of this group in the ball park line accomplished this year, they are good for anything. Princess "Ollie" also created a good impression when she spoke at the opening of the ball park last week, her short address being timely and given clearly and with poise.

Left lower Princess Ella Marcy, who as the only feminine member of a considerable staff at the Sardis plant of the F.V.M.P.A. has the strong backing of her associates and an organization of proportions in the Fraser Valley, of which her parents have been members for many years. Lower right Princess Maxine Meilicke, the charming candidate of a young men's organization of this city, the Kinsmen, should be assured of strong support from them and their friends which will doubtless go a long way in ensuring her success. Now who do you really think will be Chilliwack's 8th Cherry Festival Queen? Anyway you take it, a vote cast is a vote for a princess of whom you may be proud.

CIIILLIWACK, B.C., THURSDAY, JUNE 21, 1934 FORTY FOURTH YEAR, Vol. No. 11 $2.00 PER YEAR Carnival Queen Voting Contest Creates Record Ticket sales in the Cherry Carnival Queen Contest are greater at this date than at any similar period in any of the seven previous contests, it was reported Monday by H. D. Hipwell, chairman of the contest committee.

The standing of the princesses then was as follows: Princess Creamo, Princess Mary, Princess Ollie, Princess Evelyn and Princess Maxine. L. McPhee is assisting chairman of the committee and reported that sponsoring organizations were getting plans for advancing the interests of their favorite candidates well under way. Mr. Hipwell reported the contest between all candidates as being close, not many votes separating the princesses.

Committee chairmen for other departments all reported excellent progress at Monday's luncheon of the Cherry Carnival committee. Geo. D. Jamieson, in charge of advertising, has banner and billboard signs up at important points; E. 11.

Pearson reported a good response to his canvass for entries for the parade, and Earl Brett stated he had a full program of horse races and athletic sports lined up. The closing event, the big street dance at night, has also been arranged for by the committee headed by Aid. Les Eyres. There will be an abundance of good cherries on sale, according to E. C.

Smith and the Chilliwack Tree Fruit Club, who have charge of cherry sales. Some of the earlier varieties will not be available in quantity, but Lamberts and Black Republicans will be in prime condition, and there will be some of the favorite Bings. Some areas in the Valley are later in maturing the cherry than others. The size and color of the cherries leave nothing to be desired this season. President J.

F. Semple of the Board of Trade presided, and there was a good attendance of chairmen representing the Board of Trade and Kinsmen Club, who are jointly staging this year's Cherry Festival. rians for the sports attractions for the Cherry Carnival are about completed, following preparatory work of Earl Brett, committee chairman, and his assistants.

Union Library District Formed Continuance of a library service In the Fraser Valley is assured by completion of negotiations for the formation of a union library district under the Libraries Act. Incidentally the new union library district is the first of its kind in Canada.

There is no other of the same set up. The agreement under which it is formed received its final signature at Mission on Saturday night, and is now being for warded to the provincial secretary by H. Norman Lidster, chairman of the British Columbia Library Commission. Municipalities and school diS' tricts embraced in the library dis trict numbered 20. They are: Chilliwack city, Chilliwack munici pality, Port Coquitlam, Kent, Pitt Meadows, Sumas, surrey, iangiey Maple Ridge, Matsqui, Mission, and the school districts of Abbots ford, Barnston Island, Concord, Deroche, Dewdney, Hatzic Prairie, Hope, McConnell Creek and Pop cum.

The library service which has been maintained during the past few years in the Fraser Valley was established by funds supplied by the Carnegie Corporation, as a demonstration, with the understanding that after the sum allotted had been expended it would be up to the territory served to take over and finance the service if desired. Owing largely to the depression difficulties in providing local finance were encountered and it looked for a time as if the valley might be deprived of the service which had in the meantime come to be greatly appreciated. Display of Home Economics, Manual Training Work An exceptionally fine exhibition of work was held on Friday, June 15, in the gymnasium building of Central school. The list of visitors, which was longer than in previous years, was a testimony to the increasing public interest ftlt in these practical aspects of education, as the high quality of workmanship was to the efficiency of the two departments U. Cusack Sustains Severe Injuries In Runaway Mishap Good Hay Crop Being Harvested; Rain Is Needed A hay crop that is running three to four tons to the acre is being harvested throughout the district.

Not only is the crop better than average in tonnage, but it is being well cured, the weather having been ideal for the purpose during the last ten days. While excellent for curing the hay crop and saving the cherries from splitting, the long absence of rain is having a retarding effect on the raspberry crop and is also cutting down on the milk constituent in pastures, with consequent reduction in flow. Corn, root and garden truck would benefit greatly from a few hours' Ottawa Adopts Only Part of B.C. Public Works Plan British Columbia's share in the federal relief works plan is $3,000, 000. Ontario gets $10,000,000 and Quebec $9,000,000, from the federal treasury.

It is the general feeling at Ottawa that if B. C. had not borrowed so heavily recently, her share of the works program would have been nearer the amount allotted the eastern provinces. Of the sum allotted $1,600,000 is for new buildings and $2,000,000 for roads. There is $1,000,000 for extension of the post office building in Van couver, $240,000 for a new arm oury, $14,000 for sea wall extension at Stanley Park, $100,000 for ii considerable of its time to discus U.

Mr. Cusack was knocked unconscious and dragged probably about 1500 feet before the horses came to a stop near the fence of the Cusack farm.

Here he was found by Jack with almost the entire top of his head torn off and with severe injuries to his arms, legs and shoulders. Mr. Cusack was immediately conveyed to the hospital by members of his family, where he is new. "As well as can be is the report given out, with every effort being made to allay the great shock and injuries received. A peculiar coincidence of the afternoon was the fact that Mr.
