A resettlement program which will make it possible for farmers living on the edge of the sand hills of southwestern Saskatchewan to exchange their holdings there for irrigable land at Vauxhall, Alta, is now under way, Victor Rca, agricultural representative for Leader said Thursday while making a tour of the sand hills area. The practically barren land covers a stretch 80 miles in length and 40 miles wide between Leader and Maple Creek, and as far west as the Alberta boundary. A few miles from some of the finest land south of the South Saskatchewan river, the soil suddenly changes into a barren waste, rfhich gradually becomes a series of sand dunes which range in height from 40 to 60 feet.

This soil is moving constantly and the surface is marked with ripples like the waves on water. It takes only a minimum of wind in this area to reduce the visibility to nil. For some years farmers have endeavored to continue cp orations on the edges of this semi-arid area and they have had little returns. Buildings have deteriorated and farms have taken on a run SWIFT CURRENT (S'afT). Aid.

Irving Hansen, a prominent citizen here for many years, said Thursday that ho (Iclinitrly would stand for mayor in the forthcoming elections. To no other pro.sprttivi candidate has announced his intentions. Aid. Hansen has server for seven years as an alderman at different times. He has been chair-: man of the works and utilities committee and has had considerable experience on the iinar.ee committee as well.

Aid. Hansen came to Swift Current in 1929 from Shauriavon, and has made his home here since that time. He has operated several businesses in the city since he has been here, and since 1940 he has been chairman of the Frontier Days board. For the past two years he has been tour manager for the Swift Current boys band. He is also a member of the union hospital board, and the Swift Current MEDALIST: Vera Elizabeth Lockhart, 17, daughter of Mr.

Now these people have the chance of a new start in farming and a new start in life. By exchanging their small units here for similar sized units at Vauxhall, they will be able not only to have grain crops but to grow gardens and to produce fodder for production of their own livestock.

The new start, officials believe, will not only do much to better the people financially, but will also boost their morale, give them a new sense of social security and a pride in their achievements for they will have the basic needs for crop production at their disposal, and they will have a new sense of responsibility for with proper care their little farms in Alberta can be profitable holdings. It won't be like moving into an entirely new community either because a goodly number of the people there hive been old neighbors who have also decided to trike on a new project which to has been made available Heclic ride Cougar sighted at Churchbridge YORKTON, (Staff). Alex Allary reported seeing a cougar about four miles northwest of Churchbridge Wednesday afternoon. Churchbridge is about 30 miles southeast of Yorkton. Mr.

Allary said he saw the large animal as he was cutting across a field to a neighbors, intending to shoot rabbits for his dogs. "I took a shot at it with the only .22 bullet I had left, but believe me, I'll never do it again," he said. He said the cougar was in the open about 100 yards distant. "When 'I shot, it never even moved. Just stood and glared at me.

I walked slowly backwards for about 20 yards until I could get out of sight behind a bluff. I'd heard animals were afraid of a fire so I thought I'd try to make one in case it was following me. But I was shaky I couldn't even light a cigarette paper and I used up the whole package trying. Mr. Allary said he then ran to the neighbors and got three companions to set out after the cougar, but they had given up after following its tracks for about four hours.

Tracks in the snow he said, showed where it had taken about five jumps before starting to walk. There were no signs that his shot had wounded the animal. Mr. Allary estimated the cougar was about five feet long and stood almost three feet high. health board, and a member 7 fine cf the Kiwanis club.
