Approximately 40 Calgary fancy skaters, members of the Glencoe Club, will leave early Wednesday afternoon for Lethbridge where they will be featured performers in the Lethbridge Winter Carnival Wednesday evening. Most of the leading skaters in last week's successful Glencoe carnival will make the trip, including Hope Braine and Miss Margaret Manahan, club professionals who directed the skating numbers. The total cast will be diminished from its Calgary appearance because the "Wizard of Oz" number, with its child skaters, will not be on the Lethbridge repertoire. The changing mode in infantry weapons is illustrated in the above picture, taken in a large Eastern Canadian centre where Calgary soldiers are now quartered.

As distinct from the last war, the rifle is now an auxiliary weapon in the hands of an infantry rifle battalion. The Bren Gun is now the principal weapon in an infantry rifle battalion. All fire plans are built around it and the men fall back on rifles to augment the Bren fire when required. The Lewis and the Vickers machine guns, well known to veterans of the last war, are also shown. The Vickers is still used by infantry machine gun battalions, while many Canadian troops are now training with the Lewis gun.

The Lewis on the far right is shown on an anti-aircraft mounting, an adaptation of which the Bren is capable. YOU consult, Confederation Life Association were 10 guests. entertaintor in ADMIRAL KELLY CITY EMPLOYEES SEEK WAGE RISE Asking Restoration Of Cut Restoration of .10 per cent of salary covering wage cuts imposed during depression years will be sought by the Calgary Federation of Civic Employees, federation officials announced today. S. J.

Hughes, president, has applied to the department of trade and industry for appointment of a conciliation commissioner to deal the wage dispute. Earlier in the year the city council turned down a request from the federation for the restoration. The 10 per cent increase sought relates chiefly to a reduction in working hours of civic employees made some years ago, when the city hall was put on a five-day week basis. As a result, those working on an hourly basis were cut around 8.1 per cent, and comparable reductions in salary were imposed on others. Last year the city council restored final percentage cuts respecting another 10 per cent wage cut made after 1932.

Part of this cut had been restored in 1937.
