HERALD- -Monday, March 3, 1947 Harry Collicutt of Edmonton on his last official ride as train baggageman with the C.P.R. As the train shunted into the Calgary station, Mr. Collicut completed 40 years' service with the C.P.R. Mr. Collicutt is a pioneer resident of Alberta.

He came with his parents to Calgary in 1887 where they farmed east of where the municipal airport now stands. He attended school here and worked in a number of the early stores in Calgary including KinWorden's, Pittman's, Cameron's and Hatfield's. Before joining the C.P.R. in April 1907, he worked at the Calgary post office under the late G. C.

King. He started as a trainman on the Calgary-Macleod run, and has spent the entire time in the Calgary district. His wife, Erma, resides in Edmonton, and his daughter, Mrs. Clifford Marshall, and two children, live in Foothills.

CITY OF REGINA SASKATCHEWAN WATERWORKS DEPARTMENT TENDERS FOR CONSTRUCTION OF FOURTH AVENUE RESERVOIR Sealed tenders marked "Fourth Reservoir" will be received by the City Commissioners, Hall, Regina, Avenging Sask.

until 11 a.m. Wednesday, March 12th, 1947. The work to be undertaken is the construction of a Reinforced Concrete Reservoir of 10 million gallons capacity, on the north side of 4th Ave. between St. John St.

and Ottawa St. Plans, specifications, form of tender and further information may be obtained at the office of the Waterworks Superintendent, City Hall, Regina.

I a a a Mayor Opposes Alberta Plan Of Registration Question to Come Before City Council Meeting A proposal soon to be put before the provincial legislature to abandon enumeration for provincial elections in cities and compile voters' list by means of voluntary registration, is likely to rouse vocal opposition at today's city council meeting.

Mayor J. C. Watson, when questioned Saturday as to how he stood on the subject, said he was definitely opposed to the proposal and was of the opinion that, instead occasioning a bigger turnout of voters in provincial elections it would have the opposite effect. OFFICIAL PROTEST Various aldermen are known to have similar views and it is believed an official protest may be discussed. It was learned from Edmonton this morning that a similar protest may be registered by that city.

A few weeks ago a committee of the legislature headed by Hon, Lucien Maynard held a meeting here to hear representations from local citizens who might have views to express on the proposal. Similar meetings were called in other urban centres but in Calgary and at other points no one turned up. FAVOR SOCIAL CREDIT It is held by some observers that the proposal, if applied, would favor election of Social Credit candidates since that party has its greatest support in rural constituencies where enumeration would still continue and the party obtains least support in the cities where the voluntary registration would apply. Apathy might prevent large numbers of people from registering and, when election day came along, they would not find their names on the voters' list. It is held in some local quarters that the proposal indicates possibility of a provincial election in the near future.

Of Immigration Urged Canada would be wise to adopt a policy of migration during the next few years, said Chief McDonald in responding to a toast to Canada banquet of Calgary's St. David's Society held ning at the Commodore Cafe.

The chief justice said Canada had come a the old days when its navy consisted of two destroyers which were the subject of jocularity. Today Canada held third place in world trade and its part in the Second i Great War had been a notable one. If the right type of immigrant was obtained from the British Isles, Scandinavia "and maybe the best from Germany this country would have a people able to develop its inherent wealth and power. CITIZENSHIP EXPLAINED The speaker referred to the new nationalization legislation, and said a British subject was not necessarily a Canadian, but a Canadian was automatically a British subject. Ald.

E. H. Starr occupied the chair at the banquet, which was attended by some 300 Welsh-Canadians, relatives and friends. Leek and daffodil emblems decorated the hall with the Welsh flag and banners.

solos were given by Jack Dugan, Madge Thomas, Shelby Evans and David Morgan. Elgar Carter and James Davies were at the piano. Mayor J. C. Watson, responding to the toast to Calgary, said this city's population was drawn from many races, and the local community spirit was the envy of other cities.

EMBLEM OF WALES James Fowler punctuated his toast to the Welsh emblem with. humor and said when the Welsh soldiers carried the leek into battle against the Saxons it marked the first use of tear gas in warfare. In replying to this observation from a Scot, Rev. H. Rees retorted.
