Still Together Flying Twins Off For Overseas Service William and George Marr Following in Their Father's Steps HURT IN CRASH NORTH OF CITY, WOMAN DIES Injuries Were Not Thought Serious At First WENT IN DITCH GEORGE MARR Mrs. Edward Kercher, aged 47, died at her home in Didsbury, Monday, afternoon, as a result of injuries received in an automobile accident on the Edmonton highway, near the Calgary municipal airport, on Wednesday afternoon of last week. It was believed at the time of the mishap that Mrs. Kercher had sustained only minor injuries, but upon returning home she was confined to her bed and lived only a week. A coroner's inquest was summoned in Didsbury this morning, but after swearing in a jury, was adjourned until February 14.

Mrs. Kercher, is said to have visited Calgary last Wednesday in company with her husband, who is the Didsbury town constable, her 18-year-old son, George, and J. V. Berscht, Didsbury businessman. It is reported that the car, driven by Mr.

Berscht, was proceeding east near the airport after dark when the driver suddenly saw a car parked on the highway. The car bearing Mrs. Kercher struck parked car, then careened into the ditch, according to reports. Following the collision, it was thought that the travelers had suffered only minor bruises and a severe shaking up. They proceeded north to their homes.

Mrs. Kercher had resided at Didsbury for the past 17 years. She was a native of Souris, Monitoba. Besides her husband she is survived by four daughters, Mrs. W.

Purdy, Forest, Mrs. F. Good and a Irene of 'Calgary, and Edna. Didsbury; two sons, George and John, at Didsbury; her father, John Cherry; Souris; three sisters, Mrs. G.

Cunliffe, Vancouver; Mrs. E. Cundy, Saskatchewan, and Miss Louella Cherry, Souris; two brothers, Charles of Souris and Rilet of North Dakota, and two grandchildren. Funeral services will be announced later by the Jacques Funeral home. Delegates Study Dividends Scheme In keeping with resolutions approved at the last annual meeting, delegates of the Alberta Wheat Pool convened in Calgary today for a special session at which advisability of adjusting the capital structure to provide for payment of dividends in future years when profits are available for the purpose, will be considered.

The meeting was opened by Lew Hutchinson, chairman of the board of directors, who mentioned that when the session was first called there was no indication of possibly By FRANK SPENCER One of the main reasons they volunteered to serve with the first Royal Canadian Air Force squadron ever to leave the Dominion for active service was that their father was one of the first soldiers to leave Canada in 1914. Aircraftsmen William James Marr and George Marr, known as Bill and George, aged 20, are the twin sons of Mr. and Mrs. A. W.

Marr of 619 Twenty-third avenue west, and they will soon be on their way to England with the 110th Army Co-operation squadron of the R.C.A.F. At present, accompanied by 14 other members of the picked squadron, they are on departure leave in Calgary. It's a picked squadron in the true sense of the words. For from all the Air Force men in Canada were chosen these lads, and there are 16 from Calgary, George and Bill volunteered for the squadron and were duly accepted. They would have been disappointed boys if they hadn't been, because they wanted to be in the first squadron to "go over" this time, as their father was a member of the Royal Canadian Horse Artillery which left Calgary for France in 1914.

Leaving Wednesday On Wednesday the lads will take leave of their family and friends and rejoin their squadron in Ottawa, to await embarkation orders for England. The twins celebrate their 21st birthday, probably somewhere in England, on March 8. To them will go congratulations from a multitude of friends in Calgary. From the time they first started school at Cliff Bungalow until they were graduated from Rideau Park junior high, their smiling, freckled faces, topped with curly sandy hair, could. be found wherever the gang was having fun.

After leaving Rideau school, Bill went into a local oil company, while George worked for a local bakery firm. Before the war broke out they had joined the 113th Bombing Squadron in Calgary, and were parading two nights a week training. When the day for active service came they were among the first to volunteer. Being perfect physically, they were immediately accepted. And SO they went into training here, living at the headquarters at Currie Barracks.

The day finally came when orders to move to a new station came. There was considerable speculation as to where they would be stationed. Finally it was announced that the officers of the squadron would go to various training centres for advanced flying instruction, while the aircraftsmen would go to Ottawa for intensive training at their particular jobs. Sent to Training arriving in Ottawa their squadron was disbanded and they were appointed to various places to. train, according to their individual duties.

When training was completed, call for volunteers the for an Army Co-operation squadron for overseas service was issued. Many were the applications submitted and comparatively few were accepted. It was a singular honor old 113th that 16 of its former members were taken on. Now the time has come for these lads, young though they may be, to go forth and to uphold the valor, dignity, courage, the record set by Canada's fighting airman in the last war.

Brought Partridges Here Manitoba Group Honors City Sportsman The man who first brought the Hungarian and Chukar Partridges to augment the wild life of Canada has just been honored by distant sportsmen that reaped better sport as a result of his vision and generosity. It was learned today that Fred J. Green, prominent Calgary businessman and pioneer member of the Calgary Fish and Game Association, has been honored by being nominated an honorary life member of the Manitoba Game and Fish Association.

The award, the first granted in the 56 year history of the Man- NOTICE FILED; WILL BE HEARD EARLY IN MARCH Ruling Affects All Promissory Note Collections CIVIL RIGHTS? Judgment of Mr. Justice A. F. Ewing, declaring the provincial Debt Adjustment A Act ultra vires insofar as it restricts collection of money owing on promissory notes or bills of exchange, will be appealed to the Alberta Appeal Court at the sittings of that court in Calgary next March. Notices of appeal were filed at the courthouse Monday afternoon by the attorney-general of Alberta and by the maker of promissory note who was defendant in a suit brought by the Atlas Lumber Company which brought the validity of the legislation into question.

The appellants claim that Mr. Justice Ewing was wrong when he held that the provincial Debt Adjustment Act conflicted with the federal Bills of Exchange Act with WILLIAM MARR in QUICK MONEY SCHEME BRINGS TERM IN JAIL Two Dollars for One Proves Temporary Harvest ONCE TOO OFTEN Sackville Palmer, local short change artist who has no fixed abode, came back to practice once too often to the Koffee Counter on Seventeenth avenue west. Palmer worked a confusion scheme to tangle up several cashiers in the city and produce dividends of $1 a time. He would walk into a store or restaurant, make a five-cent purchase, hand a $2-bill over the counter, receiving a $1 bill and 95 cents in silver in change. He would then pocket the $1 bill, take another nickel from his pocket, submit the dollar in small change in exchange for a $1 bill.

"You might as well give me my $2 bill back and I'll give back this $1 bill and we are all square," the 28-year-old youth would say then, walking out $1 the richer. Stopped To Argue He did that at the Shoprite stores, Kesnick's confectionery, the Universal confectionery and twice at the Koffee Counter. Then he made his mistake. He attempted the trick for the third time at the Koffee Kounter. When it failed to click he stopped to argue; and then the police were notified, and Palmer was picked up.

He pleaded guilty in city police court this morning to committing all the above offences and was sentenced to serve three months on each charge, sentences to run concurrentiy, at Fort Saskatchewan jail.

Say Trial Judge Wrong It is also claimed that the trial judge was wrong in not holding that the Debt Adjustment Act was procedural, having to do with the administration of justice and civil rights in the province and within the field of provincial legislation determined under the British North America Act. The notices of appeal were filed by W.

B. Cromarty, Under the section of the Debt Adjustment Act declared ultra vires by Mr. Justice Ewing, no action could be commenced to recover money owing under a promissory note without special permission of the Debt Adjustment Board, if the debt were incurred prior to July 1, 1936.

Alberta Gunners To Serve in East A contingent of young Alberta lads, who will assist in guarding Canada's Atlantic seaboard, have arrived in Halifax, N.S., according to information released today from censorship restrictions. The group of 24 artillerymen left Calgary on Thursday evening of last week. They will be brigaded with maritime artillery units for defence of vulnerable points on the coast. It is believed they are the first troops to enter this branch service.

Alberta, All of the men were members of Lethbridge and Edmonton batteries, who had been left behind when their units left for overseas, because they were too young to be sent from the Dominion. They were a jovial group when they left the C.P.R. station, for they had not liked staying in Alberta when their fellows left. They were sent from the depot of Military District 13, since no established artillery depots were left by First Division batteries when they departed. Degrees.

Green's "outstanding contribution to the wild life of Canada and to the sportsmen of the West, by his introduction of the Hungarian Partridge in Alberta 32 years ago." It was in 1908 that Mr. Green, acting in the name of the Calgary Fish and Game Association, contributed his own money, supplemented by that of other members, to import the sporty birds from Hungary. Since that time, the progeny have spread until today they provide sport for hunters from Alberta to Manitoba and down into Dakota and Montana. In 1937, Mr. Green was again in the forefront of a movement that brought Chukar Partridges from India and it is expected that these upland birds will become as popular as their Hungarian cousins.

The same group of men also imported the picturesque Ringneck Pheasants. The honorary life membership in the Manitoba association will be presented to Mr. Green at a dinner in Winnipeg on March 8.
